TWO HUNDRED MEN WERE IN
THE MINE WHEN THE FIRE
STARTED.
Fredericktown, Pa., Oct. 15.—Half a
mile back from the entry six miners
are imprisoned perhaps dead—in
the mine of the Clyde Coal company.
The mine is on lire and attempts to
rescue the entombed men have been
abandoned. Two others were seri
ously burned, in an explosion in the
fan house following the breaking out
of the fire in the mine, one of them so
fearfully that he will not live. Nearly
200 men were in the mine when the
fire started. Its exact origin is not
known, but it is supposed that it was
caused by a wire becoming short
circuited and igniting the brattice
cloths which serve to create drafts
by means of which the mine is kept
free from four air.
All But Six Men Escaped.
As soon as it was discovered that
some of the men had been left behind
two rescue parlies began efforts to
reach them. Late last night the at
tempts to effect a rescue were aban
doned as hopeless. The burning coal
has baffled the men in every effort to
reach the imprisoned miners, who are
now almost certainly dead. It is be
lieved that the only hope of extin
guishing the fire is by flooding the
mine.

Moscow, Oct. 15.—Voicing, the senti

Russian reformers, Maxim Gorky yes
terday expressed sincere sorrow at
the death of Prince Trotibetskoy' as a

Russia had nothing to hope-from the
reported activities, of such men as
Prince Troubetskoy. He added:
"I regret Prince Troubetskoy as a
frank, just and honest man, not as a
representative of the Liberal party,
which can never effect great reform
in Russia. The ancestors of Troubet
skoy, Galitzin and Golovin vent hand
in hand with imperialism. The taint
is still in the blood. They are incapa

tunities to know and further the needs'

COSILY FIRE AT
PORTLAND fAIR
MISSOURI STATE BUILDIN0
AND CONTENTS ARE
DESTROYED. ..
MAY HAVE BEEN INCENDIARY
SECRET SERVICE MEN WORKING
ON THEORY THAT FJBE WAS
INCENDIARY.
COSTLY ART TREASURES LOST
PRACTICALLY NOTHING OF MIS.
SOURI'S MAGNIFICENT EX
HIBIT SAVED.
Portland, Or., Oct. 15. The Mis
souri State building at the Lewis and
Clark exposition was completely de
stroyed by fire last night. Practically
nothing of the magnificent exhibit
gathered by the Missouri iState com
mission was saved, and the beautiful
collection of art and statuary which
was one of the features of the Mis
souri display will prove almost a com
plete loss. It is estimated that the
pecuniary loss will exceed $50,000,
with no insurance save $5,000 on the
are exhibit.
The secret service agents are work
ing on the .lieory that the fire was of
incendiary origin, and that it started
among a collection of packing cases
stored just beyond the building await
ing the period of dismantling of the
Missouri exhibit.
Lays It
to
Faulty. Wiring.
Superintendent, of the Building Ed
ward Cruinbaugh of Columbia, Mo.,
the only person within the structure
at the time of the fire, is of the opin
ion that Uie lire bad its origin in the
same faulty electrical construction
which has been the cause of the sev
eral Incipient blazes which have oc
curred in different buildings during
the fair. Three-quarters of an hour
after the first alavm was sounded the
Missouri building was in ruins. That
the flames did not spread to some of
the adjoining buildings was due to the
almost complete absence of wind and
to the work of the firemen, who fought
the fire desperately to save adjacent
exhibit places.
The only casualty was the serious
injury to an electrician named\ Harry
H. Jones, who in the early stages of
the fire mounted the roof to cut the
electric wires and who fell to the
main floor,of the building.
FEVER CASES INCREASE.

New Orleans, Oct. 15.—The official

167 cases discharged, 2,696. The
jump to twenty-five new cases was
something of a surprise, but it has

as the surest indication of the prog
