I 100 MINERS ENTOMBED. Seventy Bodies Recovered From the * ; Monogahela Mine in Finleyville, Pa. > Pittsburg, April 23.?The lives of 300 miners, possibly 120, paid the toll shortly after noon today of a /Heoetrniic: ovnlneirm in the Cincinnati f uxoao^i vu?o k mine of the Monogahela River Conflr Bolidated Coa1 and Coke Company at W Finleyville, Pa. Over three score of workmen in the mine made thrilling escapes, crawling most of the time on Ieir hands and knees through deadly s fumes and over debris. Up to 11 o'clock tonight seventy fries of victims had been recovered. |e bodies were located by rescuing ads of the United gtates bureau of fts, the Monong&hela River Con I Hated Coal and Coke company and l^^ttne Pittsburg Coal company. I As the rescuers found odbies they ^were carried to the entries. None of Bthe bodies, however, were broghut to W the open. Preparations arc being made to handle the dead. Box cars have been ordered to a mine siding. The victims probably will be taken from the nine at daylight tomorrow and shipca at once to Mrmongahela City, where they are to be prepared for I burial. \ Rescue work is hampered by afterdamp. Fire which followed the explosion has been completely subdued, it is said. Pittsburg, April 23.?Between 75 and 100 miners are believed to have lost their lives this afternoon as a i result of a gac explosion in the Cin| einnati mine of the Monongahela RivL ?r Consolidated Coal and Coke coml pany at Finiayville, 27 miles from ^^his city. From 76 to 78 men made | their_?scape. Some of them, how I^ ever, were badly burned. The bodies of several victims have been recovI The mine is aflame. Rescue work Es t^ing carried on with difficulty owning to the fire and deadly fumes. The Jocal company maintains a rescue corps patterned after the mine force of the United States government.' Aid from the federal experts, it is said, was declined by the coal company. Only a few of the miners who reached the surface could talk. Suffering from burns or fright, the- miners only, knew that ?u explosion had incurred, and that the lajrge number !men are either killed by the exosion or asphyxiated by the damp mes. Several hours after the explosion ven foreign miners crawed from <3 of the entrances. All "were serisly burned. They could give no tails of the explosion in the mine, tey all 6aid the mine is full of dead. Relatives and friends of the mii 5, beneath the earth are frantic.

Washington, April 23.?Secretary ^Bfc-yan's nreliminary outline of his Boposed international agreement for Race which he laid before the senate 7 Breign relations committee today, HBB?veloped wide differences of opin Nevertheless, it was understood that Bith the endorsement of President thp sponetarv of State will I, WJk*V V pn undertake to open negotiations Rh Jeading powers, for such treatb as his proposal contemplates. At ^ end of a two hour's conference Ray with the senators, Secretary Ban left the capitol saying he exBted that the committee would Bably consider an elaboration of splan. Developments, however dicated that eome of the commit ' tie, democrats and republicans, were opposed to the idea of the United States binding itself by international agreement not to prepare for war fori a specified time while dispute was in, progress, which is one feature of Mr. Bryan's plan. The secretary said he would confer with President Wilson, and later make a public statement. Briefly, Secretary Bryan's plan, as he outlined it, is that the United States should make treaties unaer i which disputes, even those involving "national honor" or vital interests, would be submitted to an international tribunal for inquiry and that the disputing countries should agree to take no steps whatever toward preparation for war within a specified time, six months or a year. The extent to which other nations may have been "sounded" on the proj position was not fully disclosed to the I committee. Secretary Bryan intimat ed, however, that one or two foreign powers viewed the plan with favor. , The details of Secretary Bryan's plan were not passed upon and members of the committee indicated that the senate would. reserve its full authority to pass on every feature of I tlie international agreements if any J were perfected by the Wilson admin! istration. The basis idea of a proposed system of treaties, as Secretary Bryan outlined it < to the committee today, j is that all international disputes be j first submitted to a committee of in! quirv and that the report of the com! mission be made public before the : countries would be at liberty to pro- j j ceed to war.
