New York, June 12.—Secretary Long is
quoted by the Washington correspond
ent of the Tribune on the subject of
President McKinley's statement on the
third term as follows:
"1 think the president by his act has
given another eidence of his wisdom
and patriotism. After eight years of the
burdens and responsibilities of office he
looks forward to the relief of private
life. As a matter of principle and con
viction, also, he would 1 not accept a third
term and has evidently felt it his duty
to conform to the wishes of his country
in this respect. This action of his, I
beieve, will do more than anything else
can do to settle this question for all
time." •
Secretary Hitchcock said:
"It is a noble statement, saturated
with patriotism from beginning to end.
It will be forever history and is just
what might have been expected from
such a loyal lover of his country and
his countrymen."
Postmaster General Smith said:
"In taking this step he has not only
followed his personal Inclinations but he
has acted from a deep sense of duty and
from his belief in a precept of our in
stitutions which he thinks absolute and
unchangeable. The admlnistratiqo is
dealing with great public questions of
the first magnitude which he believes
should be decided fairly on their rights
without the possibility of the imputa
tion of personal thought."

Newport News, June 12.—It was an
nounced this morning that 1,000 men
W'ould be laid off at the yards of the

Dock company on account of the ma

It is the understanding here that all
shipyards in the country are determined
not to accede to the demands of the ma

chinists have gone out will close down
indefinitely rather than grant the de
mands.

of about 3,000 feet. The dead body of Da

was identified by a rag tied around the
little toe of the left foot. The flesh was
burned from the face In several places
and apparently Vue body had met near

Another party will enter the mine short

There have been five bodies recovered
since the first explosion- There are still 13
bodies in the mines, and several exper

district think that they will be recover
ed. What the exact conditions are in
the unexplored part of the mine is not
known. That there is fire is the opinion
of many, but its severity cannot be even
guessed at. The next party to enter the
mine will extend its ventilation as far
as possible and rid out whatever gas
can be reached.
Dr. C. A. Wynn, coroner of Westmore
land county will not hold'the inquest un
til it is known that the bodies in the
mine cannot be recovered.
There is some talk of flooding the mine
today and if it be done the bodies ■-» Ute

for eighteen months at least.
The conference of mine officials to
day showed that more explosions arc

they will eat at the festaurant In the
Gardens.

CLEVER. HRS. BOTHA'S WORK
Eludes the London Newsgatherers and
Carries on Her Peace Negotiations
at Will.
(By Associated Press.)
Lond in, June 12.—reace in South Africa
is still a cuckoo song, although the
cuckoos come from many quarters.
The most effective peacemaker is, prob
ably the wife of the commander-ln-ehief,
who has concealed her work in London,
and baffled the most enterprising news
gathers. It is believed she has delivered
to Lord Milner or Mr. Chamberlain some
message from General Botha or other
Beer leaders and that Kruger has also
been consulted.
South African rumors respecting a
change of plan on the part of tile Boer
leaders are plentiful.
The surrender of a small commando
near Pietersburg gives hope that the end
is close at hand. The judgment of the
more experienced South Africans is that
the war will drag along for several
months and that the only result of pre
mature peace negotiations will be the re
newal of Boer agitation in England.
