surface alive. On the contrary, the dis
closures of the day confirmed the state
ment ' printed in yesterday's Tribune
that If the men are not already dead
they will be before they can be reached.
A systematic effort was made during
the day to compile a complete list of the
men In the mine and the result Is print
ed In another column. It shows that
The Tribune's estimate of yesterday
that eighty men are entombed in the
mine was very close to the exact figures.
In conversation with a Tribune reporter
Sunday night 13. L. Fuller, secretary of
the Newton Coal company, which oper
ated the Twin shaft, said he though: the
number of men in the mine was sixty
eight. It is now evident that Mr. Ful
ler's estimate wasinuch too low.
The rescuing parties worked diligent
ly all day, but what with the squeezing
and raving and the liability of gas and
water to appear at any moment, their
progress was slow and the danger
enough to deter any but the stoutest
heart.
The scenes of Sunday about the
mouth of the shaft wi:re repeated yes
terday. The erowdt:f curious sight
seers were not as large, but the pitiful
Incidents wwe quite as numerous. At
daybreak the wlfes and other relatives
6t the entombed men were upon the
scene and the heartrending lamenta
tions were enough to cause the stoutest
heart to soften. The women were not
permitted to remain long but were
tenderly led away by the male relatives
or in nils as tne repeated arrivals oi
the case at the surface were only a
series of repeated disappointments to
them.
TRYING TO REACH THE MEN.
Difficulties Encountered by the
Men
on the Rescue Shifts.
There is little or .no chance In the
Twin shaft. It Is not even definitely
known yet how many men are entombed
and whether nr not their bodies willever
be recovered Is still a nintter of the
merest conjecture. They may reach
them tomorrow, or they may never
reach them. No one can tell. Several
times yesterday the hopes of the res
cuers ran high but just as they were
rejoicing at the possibility of Boon
reaching their Imprisoned brothers, the
treacherous mine would recommence Its
quaking and they would be driven back
to the foot of the shaft to begin their
work nil over again.
It was a battle with varying success
between the men and the mine nil day
long. Four times the head of the Ill
fated slope whs reached and feu" times
the men had to retreat. At IJ o'clock
Sunday night the most satisfactrpiog
ress was being made and It was thought
that the work could lie pushed uninter
rupted to a speedy consummation. But
an hour later the "squeezing" again
manifested Itself und Inside of half an
hour's lime the rescuers were fain to
I give up hope of ever being able to
makx any further efforts. The sct'tllng,
however, censed again and once more
tjie brave men returned to the attack.
The road which they had already
timbered was reraired at the points
where the squeeze had affected the pil
lars and there they started to push
farther on. At 8 o'clock another
"squeeze" drove thtm back again. In
the afternoon about 3 o'clock the
"quaking" grew In Intensity and work
had to be stopped for a short time again.
At 8 o'clock last night the rescuers had
pushed their tunnel to the head of No.
3 slope and came upon the outskirts of
the main fall.
The rescuers counted on attacking It
In the morning and word was sent to
Wllkes-Bnrre for heavy sledges to
break a passageway through the debris.
SAID TO BK AT REST.
. The region of the main fall Is at rest
and will not, It tstoald, cave again. T'-is
being so, the men decided to spend tne
rest of the night In fortifying the tun
nel to the slope, so that the morning
shift would need have no fears of their
retreat being cut off wnen they came In
to attack the face of the main fall.
This work was being pushed with all
possible vigor and everything looked en
couraging until about 11 o'clock, when
another and more serious "squeeze"
occurred, and again the men were driv
en back. At midnight the. settling had
not ceased, and the plans for the mor
row are frustrated. The last reports
were to the effect that the tunnel Is
liable to be entirely blocked within
twenty-four hours.
. The cave-In Is working In all directions.
It Is supposed, from the spot where the
muln fall occurred and the old workings
which are but poorly supported are ex
pected to cave-In at any moment. Mine

AN OBSCENE LETTER CASE
Resident of a New Jerncr Town
Testify at a Itncy Trial.
Trenton. N. J., June 29. Nearly' the
entire population of the village of Pea
pack, In Somerset county, was In the
United States court today as witnesses
in a case In which Asher Fleming was
charged with sending obscene letters to
Oscar Smith.
The letters were read in court, but
they were so vile that the women pres
ent were requested to retire.
Th letters in the most unblushing lan
guage charged -Smith with Improper re
lations with a number of "women. In
cluding his own niece, and threatened
him with a coat of tur anu feathers un
less he left the community. Fleming
denied having sent the letters, which
were In printed characters, but Morris
Dennis and Augustus Dennis testified
that Fleming admitted to them that he
was the author. Daniel Ames and M. J.
Kinsley, of New York, two experts In
writing, testified that a comparison
with manuscript written by Fleming
showed conclusively that Fleming was
the author of the printed letters. While
on the stand Fleming admitted, that he
had been convicted of assault and bat
tery on his wife.
POPE LEO'S LETTER. .
Communication on tbe Reunion ol All
Christian Churches Explanation
ol the Apostolic Mission.
Baltimore, June 29. Cardinal Gibbons
gave to the press this evening a copy
of the summary of Pope Leo's encyclical
fetter on the reunion of all the Chris
tian churches. Ma holiness evidently
had in mind the recent letter of Will
iam Gladstone, and thit letter may be
considered a reply thereto. The letter
at the pone's request will be given pub
licity throughout Europe and America
tomorrow morning. It says In part:
Christ endowed His apostles with au
thority like to His own, and this apostolic
mission was Intended for the salvation
of the whole human race, and consequent
ly must last to the end of time. The Mag
Uterium Instituted by Christ In His church
was by Hod's wll: perpetuated in the suc
cessors appointed by the aposftes and In
like manner the duty of accepting and
professing all that Is thus taught Is also
"perpetual and Immutable." There Is
nothing which the church founded on
these principles has been more careful
to guard than the Integrity of the faith.
The fathers of the church are unanimous
in considering as outside the Catholic
communion any one who In the least de
gree deviates from even one poln of the
doctrine proposed by th authoritative
mngisterium of the church.
Wherefore Christ instituted in the
church a Living, Authoritative and Last
Ins: MaKisterlum, He ' willed and com
manded under the gravest penalties that
Its teachings should be received as If they
were His own. He established In the
church alt those principles which neces
sarily tend to make organised human so
cieties ami through which they attain the
perfection to each. The church la "man's
guide to whatever pertains to heaven. This
Is the office appointed to It by God: That
It may watch over and may order all that
concerns religion and may without let or
hindrance exercise according to Its Judg
ment. Its charge over Christianity.")
Wherefore they who pretend that the
church has any wish to Interfere In civil
matters or to Infringe upon the rights of
the state either know It not or wickedly
calumlnate It.
The remainder of the letter is an ex
position of the spiritual supremacy of
the papacy and an argument for unity
on that basis.
SPIRITS TO POINT OUT CHICORA.

ANOTHER RED LETTERDAY AT CANTON
The Notification Committee Are
Royally Entertained nt the Mc
Kiulcy lU'sideuce--Sculor Thurs
ton's Speech and Major McKinley's
Kcuinrki of Acceptance.
Canton, O., June 29. The committee,
consisting of one member from each
state and territory, which was selected
at the St. Louis convention to convey to
Major McKlnley the official notification
of his nomination, arrived in Canton
on a special train from Cleveland at 11.30
this morning. The day was charming,
and the members of the committee en
joyed the ride from Cleveland.
They were met at the station here by
a reception committee composed of
some of the foremost citizens of Can
ton, and were driven in open carriages
to Major McKinley's residence, accom
panied by a mounted escort. The pre
parations at Major McKinley's were
simple. Seventy-five chairs were
placed on the front lawn under the
trees and facing the Jiouse. On tho
rear lawn a Large tent tJas erected, and
in It was a long table, on which covers
were laid for loo guest .
Major McKlnley received the mem
bers of the committee on the veranda.
The streets about the house were filled
with men, women and children. The
crowd surged In nil the gates and
pressed close up to the chairs on which
they sat.
It was 12.10 when the notification com
mittee reached Major McKinley's house.
Mrs. McKlnley and the major's vener
able mother occupied chairs near him
on the veranda. His brother's family
and his pretty nieces were close about
him. The chairs back of the notifica
tion committee were filled by ladles of
Canton, Columbus and Cleveland, whose
husbands are prominent in business and
public affairs. It was a charming open
air scene, sweetly idyllic In character.
Frank Hlscock, Senator Thurston, Mark
Hanna and C. N, Fairbanks occupied
the first carriage. They were greeted
with tremendous cheers. Major Mc
Klnley met them outside the gate as
they alighted from the carriage, and
shook hands warmly.
Senator Thurston was in excellent
voice. His tones were as dear and com
manding and far reaching as they were
In the St. Louis convention hall. - His
speech was received with much enthusi
asm and-applause, and was as follows:
SENATOR THURSTON'S- SPEECH.
We are here to perform a pleasant
duty assigned us by tho Republican
national convention recently assembled
at St. Louis that of formally notify
ing you of your nomination as the can
didate of the Republican party fof
president of the I'nlted States. We re
spectfully request your acceptance of
this nomination a fid your approval of
the declaration of the principles adopt
ed by the convention. We assure you
.that you are the unanimous choice of a
united party, and your candidacy will
be immediately accepted by the country
as an absolute guaranty of Republican
success. Your nomination has been In
obedience to a popular demand, whose
universality and spontanlety attest the
affection and confidence of the plain
people of the United States. By com
mon consent you are the champion.
Their mighty uprising in your behalf
emphasizes the sincerity of their con
version to the cardinal principles of
protection and reciprocity as best cx
cxempllfled in the splendid congression
al act which justly bears your name.
Under It this nation advanced to the
very culmination of a prosperity far sur
passing that of all other people's and
all other times, a prosperity shared In
by all sections, all Interests and all
clnsses: by capital and labor; by pro
ducer and consumer; prosperity so hap
pily In harmony with the genius of
lopular government that Its choicest
blessings were most widely distributed
among the lowliest tollers and the
humblest home. In 1S92 your country
men unmindful of your solemn warn
ings returned to that power which re-
Iterated its everlasting opposition to a
protective tariff and demanded the re
peal of the McKlnley act. They sowed
the wind. They reaped the whirlwind
The sufferings and losses and disasters
to the American people from four years
of Democratic tariff are vnstly greater
than those which came to them from
four years of civil war.
But your nomination means more
than the endorsement of a protective
tariff, of reciprocity, of sound money
and of honest finance, for all of which
you have so steadfastly etonri. Jt
means an endorsement of your herol.
youth, your fruitful yenrs of m-duous
public service, your sterling patriotism,
your stalwart Amerlcanlsm.your Chris
tian charncter and tho purify, fidelity,
and simplicity of your private life.
In a'l those things you are the typical
American; for all those things you are
the chosen leader of the people. God
itlve you strength so to bear the honors
and meet the duties of that great office
for which you are now nominated, and
to which you will be elected, that your
administration will ennance the dig
nity and power and glory of this repub
lic, and secure the safety, welfare and
happiness of Its liberty loving people.
When Mr. Thurston finished Gover
nor McKIiley, who was standing a few
feet from and slightly in his rear,
stepped forward, holding the manu
script of hlsVpeech In his hand. He
never looked better. His eye was clear,
his color good and he. held himself like
one who sees victory In the distance. He
wore a dark frock coat, as is his cus
tom, and black trousers. He was greet
ed with thunderous applause.
Major McKlnley read his speech la a
clear, far-reaching voice. It was US
tened to intently, and he was compelled
to halt several times by reason of loud
applause and cheers, Mr. McKinley's
response was as follows:
MAJOR M'KINLEY'S REPLY,
Senator Thurston and gentlemen of
Notification Committee of the Republi
can National Convention: To be select
ed as their presidential candidate by a
great party convention representing bo
vast a number or people of the United
States, is a most distinguished honor,
for which I would not conceal my high
appreciation, although deeply sensible of
the great responsibilities of the trust
and my abllty to bear them without the
generous and consistent support of my

Williams seems to be the favorite, his

MINE BOYS DROWNED.
Sad Accidents Near Boston and at Lake
Massapoag Several Are Also
Injured.
Boston, June 29. One of the saddest
accidents in the history of the Boston
water front occurreil at Castle Island
off City Point this afternoon. At 'about
2.30 o'clock seventy-five children were on
a rickety, unsafe gang plank and float
ed at the landing south of the bridge
from the Point to the island, when the
float overturned, the flimsy guard rails
of the gang plank split, and thirty or
more of the children were tumbled Into
at least. twelve feet. of water. Four
boys, from 12 to 15 years old, were
drowned; four children were picked up
unconscious, and later revived, and the
others, as far as known, were rescued.
The dead are: James H. Washburn, 9
years; James F. Cole, 11 years; Law
rence McDowell, 12 years, and an un
known lad of 12 years.
Injured: Lillian Duffy, 11 years;
Harry Sampsun, 10 years.
Today was to be observed as Farragut
day in South Boston and In honor of
the event the South Boston Historical
society had distributed a large number
of buttons among children entitling
them to a free ride on a steamer from
City Point across to Castle Island. As
a result the little steamer was crowded
on her trips during the afternoon and
so early did the rush begin that the po
lice force detailed for afternoon duty
at Castle Island had not arrived.
The little steamboat Ella, Captain
E. W. Webber, arrived at the float with
a big list of children passengers from
the point at 2.30 o'clock and began to
unload them on to the float just as
fifty children on the granite pier start
ed on a run down the gang plank to
go aboard. The two crowds met, the
float upset, the gang plank split and the
accident occurred.
ACCIDENT AT MASSAPOAO.
Sharon, Mass., June 29. What was
intended to be a week's enjoyable out
ing was brought to an abrupt and sad
close at Lake Massapoag this after

means of it saved the Parker boy, but
In the confusion resulting from, the
accident the boat was overturned and
Mr. Crackett and the other four boys
were thrown Into the water. None of
the party save the Cox boy could swim,
and before help could reach them from
rhore all five were drowned.

Silver'Mnjority of. Democracy
.Threatens So Wrong.
Waterloo, Iowa,, June 29. Ex-Governor
Bolen returned this afternoon from
his Grundy county farm, where he went
immediately on his return from Illinois.
When asked if he Intended going to
Chicago soon, he replied that he had not
determined whether he would attend the
convention or not. During Governor
Boles' absence the Interview with Mr.
Whitney was published and on. his re
turn his attention was called to a tele
gram from the New York Herald ask
ing his opinion in regard to the asser
tions made in it. He wired his reply to
night as follows:
Mr. Whitney is entirely right In his con.
elusion that there is no disposition on the
part of those who will represent the silver
sentiment of the south and west In :hB
Chicago convention to further discuss t!io
matter at Issue with men whose views
are diametrically opposed to their own
ou the currency question. I" s entirely
correct In his conclusion th- it is not
too late to accomplish any practical re
sults by a discussion of that character.
Mr. Whitney la entirely wrong In assum
ing that free silver Democrats are forsak
ing the fundamental principles of Dem
ocracy or that what he terms "sound
money Democrats" are defending these
principles In their endeavor to commit
their party to gold monometallism. Until
the Republican party met in. St. Louis a
few days ago there was never a line writ
ten in a national platform of either of
the great parties that Justified the claim
that the one or the other of these parties
were committed to that doctrine. To as
sume now that adherence to that princi
ple Is abandonment of an established doc
trine Is to defy history and Ignore the most
plainly written of all the pufty's declara
tions of policy.
IGNORES A GREAT TRUTH.
When iMr. Whitney says the mainte
nance of our present gold standard is es
sential to the preservation of our na
tional credit and redemption of our pub
lic pledges he Ignores a great truth of
which he cannot be Ignorunt. He knows
that there Is not a single obligation of
this nation outstanding today that by its
terms is payable In gold alone, and he
knows that right upon the face of the
great bulk of the bonds of the government
a government It Is written in substance
that they are payable In coin of the Unit
ed States of the standard weight and fine
ness of its coins before silver was demone
tised and that therefore by their own ex
press terms they are payable In our pres
ent silver dollars, if the government elects
to so pay them. To talk about a viola
tion of the national honor when no party
In the nation has ever suggested its fail
ure In the leait degree to meet every obli
gation It has assumed according to the
strict letter of the contract It made, has to
say the least, a strange sound to those wbo
need the universal cry of distress occa
sioned, as they believe, by doubling the
purchasing power of money and cutting
in twain the market prlve of the products
of labor.
If to undo what law hns done to add
to tho burdens of the tolling millions of
this notion and double the fortunes of the
rich within it, Is to disrupt the Democratic
party, disruption must come. The majort
ty of that party threatens no wrong to any
one and if those who compose tnat major
ity can avoid it all may be assured they
will submit to no such wrong as the per
manent establishment of a sintrB gold
standard would Impose upon the great
mass of the people of this nation.
