DEAD NUMBER NINE. Work of Finding the Bodies of the Ne gaunee Miners Is Viiy Slow. Negaunee, Mich-, Jan. 9,—l)bere have been few developments at the Negaunee mine, the scene of Tuesday'* disastrous cave-in. ^The work of res cue still cratlnues,, with unabated Vigor, houglf the #ork is greatly re tarded by quicksand and water, this difficulty Is being overcome by the aid of extra pumps, prnd from now for ward the work bf rescue will proceed more favorably. Hopes of finding the men alive are about abandbned. President Cole himself aided In the work and penetrated the most danger ous parts of the mine in the attempt to locate the} unfortunate men. It is now thought three of the men sup posed to be located near the stage level wilj be reached Within a few hours, while days may be consumed in the search for the others. The officials of the Negaunee mine announce that only nine of the work men met their fate as a result of the cave-In. Captain Piper, in charge of mining operations, says it will be a week and iterhaps 10 days before the bodies can De recovered. The drift in which the men lost their lives is filled with water and thereJs a large mass of ore and rock to remove before the bodies can be reached. That jrSrtion of the mine where.the disaster occurred is in bad shape. The large mass of dirt that went down loosened the timbers in the shaft and the drifts adjoining the one closed up. Division Superintendent Johnston said during the day that no effort will be spared to recover the. bodies. It will be an expensive job owing to the large [amount of ''dead" work neces sary ln making the drift secure. 4ra .'"'V.

It would be grander greater and stronger 1,000 yeen* hence than today. Mr. Bryan advocated the application of morality to other questions. It was impossible to suppress anarchy, he said, by. penal' istitdtes.

Of 16 members Who spoke 9 favored the Bf orris amendment Mr. Morris (Minn.), who offered the amendment to give the president the alternative authority to select the Panama route If it were recommended by tyie commission after the consid eration of the Panama company's new offer, spoke at considerable length. He explained the purpose of his amendment, which, he said, was hot to Impede the construction of the canal, but to insure the selection of the best canal—the best as to location, cost of maintenance and operation, durability and freedom of danger from destruction.- Before the isthmian com mission made its report he did not be lieve the Panama rou^e feasible. He thought It had been used solely for the purpose of delay. But since reading the report he was unable to reach a conclusion as to which was the better route. Moreover, he did not believe that any gentleman could read the re port and tell which route the commis sion would have selected had the cost and conditions been equal.
