All But Two of the Bodies Recovered Were Frightfully Mutilated Body of John Ivill, Cousin of Mine's Pres ident, Found Beneath a Coal-Digging Machine Another Unfortunate Had Put His Face In Water In Vain At tempt to Escape Suffocation. One hundred and thirteen bodies, ail hut two of them horribly mu tilated and several dismembered, were takeu from the mine of the Pitts-burg-Huffulo Coal company at Marian tin, where an explosion occurred Sp' urday that killed many men and cast into gloom what until then had been considered the model mining town of the world. Officials of the company, who said that over 125 had been killed, now ad mit that 138 men went down the shaft to work Saturday morning. Accord ing to miners and others familiar with the number of men generally employ ed in the mine, the death list will ex ceed the company's estimate by at least fifty. As In nearly all mine disasters there seems no way at present of knowing how many men went to work. The number check-oiT system again has proved defective and from no source can an accurate statement as to the fatalities be secured. It Is possible that the exact number of men killed never will be known. Two of the men taken from the mine had been suffocated and their bodies were not even scratched. One of these was John Ivill. a cousin of John H. Jones, president of the Pittsburg-Buffalo Coal company, owners of the mine, who was employed as head timekeeper. Ivlll's body was found beneath a coal-digging machine and it was apparent that the young man had crawled there In a vnin effort to es cape the deadly fumes. The body of another man was found near Ivill. Tire unfortunate had placed his face in a pool of water, which all miners are advised to do when an ex plosion occurs, in a desperate attempt to flpht off suffocation. COLLISION OFF SANDY HOOK. Three of "Steamer's Passengers and One of Crew Lost. . Fog, the heaviest known for a number of years, caused the loss of four lives when the Panama Rail road steamer Finance, bound for Colon with 85 passengers, was sunk In col lision with the White Star freight steamer Georgic In the main ship channel, off Sandy Hook. To add to the confusion a moment after the impact there was an explos ion of an nmmonia tank In the forward hold of the Finance and the fumes drove the engineers and firemen to the. decks. William Todd, the third as sistant engineer, was partially over come by the fumes and, staggering to the rail, threw himself overboard. He was not again seen. Three passengers are missing. They are Mrs. Irene Campbell of Colon, Henry Muller. a conductor on the Pan ama railroad; Policeman Schwelnler of the Canal Zone police. The captain of the Georgic quickly dropped anchor, manned his boats and sent them to the wrecked steamer, greatly aiding in the rescue. All of those sawd were taken on board the Georgic. The Finance had over 700 hags of mall ahonnd. Four elephants in the Gorgic's hold were undisturbed by the collision. DEATH OF GEORGE RAINES. Was Well Known For His Ability as a Criminal Lawyer. Hon. George Raines, who was well known throughout Western New York because of his ability ns a criminal lawyer, died at Rochester Friday afternoon after an Illness of some monthp. For many years and urfcfc his death Mr. Raines was active in the Demo cratic party. His unusual ability soon made him felt in the local courts, and In 1871. at the age of 24 years, he was elected district attorney of Mon roe county, on the Republican ticket, however. Mr. Raines returned to the district attorneyship In 1874 as the candidate of the Democratic party. Of over forty first-degree murder charges tried by Mr. Raines the de fendants whom he prosecuted were all executed except the three men ac cused of the comparatively recent So dns murder, who were sentenced to life Imprisonment; while of the others whom he defended not one went ( to he rope or the electric chair. After quitting the district attorney's office Mr. Raines became senator of the district, then composed of Monroe county, running on the Democratic ticket. . Brothers of the deceased lawyer are former .Judge Thomas R. Raines of Rochester ind State Senator John Raines and William Raines of Oanan daigua. Donnelly Public Printer. Samuel I).

SAMPSON COMMITTED, Must Remain Till First Week of Feb ruary In Wayne County Jail. While papers were 'being mad( out in the sheriff's office in Lyons N. Y., for the commitment of Mrs Georgia Allyn Sampson to the Waynt county Jail, charged with the mur der of her husband, Harry Samp son, the prisoner, who was dressed ir, black, seldom spoke, even to her fa ther, Frank P. Allyn, who sat besld her. Both the Allyns, the parents of the accused woman, and the relatives ol Harry Sampson are wealthy and prom inent, and it is expected that the cate will result In a long drawnout legal fight. As the charge is of murder in tho first degree no ball can be fur nished, which will make It necessary for Mrs. Sampson to spend at least the time from now until the first week In February in the Wayne county Jail The next grand Jury will convene in February. As the Jail has no women's apart ment the men prisoners were placed on the north side of the Jail, which left the whole Bouth side for Mr.. Sampson. Here she will remain for a few days until a room can be fixed up for her in the main part of the building. BONI FIGHTS FOR CHILDREN. Avers In Court That De Sagan Is Unfit to Have Charge of Them. Count Bonl de Castellane, former husband of the Princess Helie de Sag an, who was Miss Anna Gould of New York, renewed in court his efforts tc regain possession of his three sons, purter from him by Judicial order when his wife obtained a divorce from him. In his petition Count de Castellane avers that Prince de Sagan, who Is hie cousin. Is not a fit person to have charge of the young boys. He de clares that they are In great peril ol physical and moral deterioration while In daily contact with the present hus band of his former wife despite her presence. He asks that the custody of th boys be awarded to himself. The boys about whom the legal fight is being waged are Boniface de Cas tellane, born In 1897; George de Cas tellane, born In 1808, and Jay de Cas tellane, born in 1002. As heirs to what is left of their mother's share of the Jay Gould millions they will be very rich. In the court an attorney was pres ent to observe the course of the pro ceedings for George J. Gould of New York, brother of the Princess de Sagau and head of the Gould family. AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN. Covert Policy of Two Countries In the Pacific and China. Despite official reticence, informa tion from reliable sources has been- obtained at Washington of an agreement of far-reaching Importance between the United States aud Japan covering the policy of the two coun tries in the Pacific. The agreement is based upon the idea of encouraging and defending free and peaceful commetclal development in the Pacific. It contains not only a mutual guarantee to respect each other's territorial possessions there, but defines the attitude of the two countries toward China, binding each to defend by every peaceful means China's - independence and Integrity, and to give equal commercial oppor tunity In the Chinese empire to all na tions. But more Important still, the agree ment, in the event of complications threatening the status quo, binds the United States and Japan to consult each other with a view to acting to gether.

H UM) Mr. Archbold Says Bulk of Illu minating Oil Is Exported. Products of the Company Reach Every Part of the World Standard Oil Company of New Jersey Was Form ed toHold Properties Which Had Previously Been Held by Standard Interests Capital 8tock of Standard Oil Company Is $110,000,000. New York, Dec. 1. The develop ment of trade of the Standard Oil com pany In foreign fields, as a subject of evidence in the government suit to dissolve the oil combination, gave John D. Archbold, vice president of the Standard, an opportunity as a witness to spread upon the records some inter esting features of the Standard's busi ness in foreign countries. Of the total amount of Illuminating nil refined by the Standard in 1906 Mr. Archbold Btated that 63 per cent was sold abroad. Export figures of other years further showed that the Standard exported the major bulk of its illuminating oil. The line of testimony with regard to the Immense foreign trade indi cates that one of the defenses of the Standard Is that the present combina tion make3 It possible to obtain th's foreign trade,- which, the company will endeavor to show, brings a trade bal ance In favor of the United States. This foreign business, Mr. Archbold went on to say, was secured in the face of the competition of 400 foreign companies. Products of the Standard reach every part of the world, Mr. Archbold said, who further declared that It was the aim of the company to reach direct every consumer in the Far East, as was done In this country. Testimony was given by Mr. Arch bold that during the period of the Standard Oil trust the trustees poured millions of tho ' company's earnings back Into the trust for the construc tion of new refineries and pipe lines. Mr. Archbold said that the trustees of the Standard Oil trust, after Its or ganization formed the Standard Oil company of New York and New Jer sey, to hold properties which 'had pre viously been held by Standard inter ests. The witness said the Standard companies of New York and New Jer sey were still the same companies as those formed In 1882. The capital stock of the Standaia Oil company of New Jersey was $3, 000,000 in 1882, but was incr3ased in 1892 to $10,000,000 and in 1899 to 1110,000,000, of which $10,000,000 was preferred. 110 BODIES RECOVERED. State Department Will Take Charge of Mine When Recovery Work Is Done. Pittsburg, Dec. 1. The squeaking Iron bucket, operated In the 500 foot shaft leading to the Rachel and Agnes mines of the Pittsburg and Buffalo Coal company at Marlanna, Pa., since last Saturday, when a terrific explosion In the mines wrecked the up-to-date elevator In the shaft and snuffed out the lives of 120 miners or more, has carried to the surface the bruised, mangled nnd burned remains of more than 100 of the victims of the disaster. The most reliable count of the bodies recovered Is 110, two-thirds of which have been Identified. The gen eral belief Is that not many more bodies would be found. James E. Roderick, head of the state department of mining, said that from data furnished him by the company and reports from his six deputy Inspec tors, he did not believe the death list would exceed 120. When recovery work is finished he will take charge of the mine, investi gate the cause of the disaster and fix responsibility therefor If possible. "I have good reports from the six deputies who have been working with the rescuers," he said, "but I will not attempt to assign a cause from these reports. I can say. however, that nothing could have given the state department a greater surprise than an explosion in the mine at this time." Mr. Rod' rick said this disaster and the serie -f last winter would form the text ot a communication to the leg islature next January urging sweep ing changes In the state mining laws. Restriction on Charitable Bequests. New York, Dec. 1. The -New York Kindergarten association has appoint ed a committee consisting of Daniel S. Remsen, A. .

Mr. Remsen stated that the leg islature will be asked by the board of statutory consolidation to consoli date the Ihwb relating to wills and re peal all obsolete laws relating thereto. After th Fir. "You don't mean to sny that Kpeud tr Is on his uppers. Why, I thought he bad money to burn!" "So he did have; but, unfortunately for Spender, he carried no fire Insur ance." Brooklyn Life.

Miners form ing the rescue party to bring tho bodies to the surface remained In the mine all night working In four-hour shifts to facilitate the work. All the headings, with the exception of two loft headings, were penetrated, and it is said that little difficulty was ex perienced as a result of falls of slato and coal. Alldanger from further explosion Is past, "it was Bald, and tho work of bringing the thirty additional bodies which had been located, will proceed at once. John H. Jones, president of tho Pittsburg -Buffalo company, stated that the company representatives had checked off the names of 130 miners whom they knew were in the mine at the time of the explosion and he does not believe the list of dead will ex ceed that number. One hundred and twelve bodies have already been lo cated. TEST OF HEROISM. Mine Foreman Kennedy's Definition of Courage at Marlanna. Pittsburg, Dec. 1.

TAFTTAjitMAND Questions as to Courage an 6 Capacity for Lc lit c ip Are Settled Definitely PLEDGES TO BE CARRIED CUT Harmony Conditions in Keystone State Preclude All Possibility of Strife Be ing Again Stirred Up Unwarranted Attacks on Senator Penrose. Importunt Interviews with President elect Taft have taken place la;ely at the Virginia Hot Springs. One result of these Interviews is that all ques tions as to Mr. Taft's courage, and as to his capacity for leadership of tht highest quality, are sett led Anotuei result is that It has been determined doubtless for oil time, that under Pres ident Taft tho Republican party will continue as a party of action and prog ress and that the reactionaries and do nothing people in Congress are lolu.o a positive aud aggressive mau in the White House to reckon wiih (liirln.s tho next four years, Just as they have uad during the last four. Mr. Tall has maJe himself the leader of the progressive forces within the Republican party and has practically served notice upou the reactionaries that unless they tomu into line they will have trouble on their hands. This applies to the UrlS and to everything else. Mr. Talt's attitude Is a clear one. There is no mistaking what he wants uor what he will do If he does not get it. What the reactionaries will do re mains to be seen. They will probably seemingly surrender with a secret hope that they may be able to get their way by indirection and maneuver In the end. Should they, however, decide to stubbornly stand out they will likely provoke an appeal to the country. There Is but little doubt that should Mr. Taft find it necessary to protect himself and the policies to which he Is committed, and his good faith pledges made to the people during the cam paign, he would not hesitate to take the people into his confidence, not in opposition to any individual, but within tils rights to ask the country to use Its Influence upon its representatives at Washington In favor of tho policies which the people believe In aud for which they voted on election day. Mt. Taft has positively refused a proffer of peace and comfort and a chance to let things slide along and take it easy, and In turn has served notice that his administration Is to stand for progressive policies, for a genuine tariff revision, for carrying on the work which Mr. Roosevelt began but did not finish, and that as to the tariff and other matters, if the speaker of the house and those aligned with him do not come into the puth he (Mr. Taft) has marked out and stand by tho administration, there will be war from the very outset. However these things may turn out the die is cast. Those who had hoped that Mr. Taft could )e taken Into camp by the reactionaries, on the plea of giving the country a rest and having peace within the party at the expense of good faith In the redeeming of Mr. Taft's own campaign pledges, have suf fered defeat. The new administration is to be progressive. Referring to political copdltlons In the Keystone State, the most striking feature at ihe present time Is the plain, straightforward, businesslike manner In which the candidacy of Sen ator Boles Penrose for reelection to the United States Senate Is being present ed to those who will sit as members of the coming legislature. This presenta tion Is being made by a committee named for that purpose by Ihe rauctu of the Philadelphia county members which so enthusiastically Indorsed Sen ator Penrose. It Is generally agreed that Philadelphia Is entitled to one of the two senatorshlps. It cannot be de nied that. Philadelphia Is entirely pleased and satisfied to have Senator Penrose fill the position alloted to that city and county so long as hp shall be permitted to live. There Is nothing In Senator Penrose's record that cannot be uncovered to tho most searching publicity without danger of adverse criticism, unless It come from that band of chronic troublo makers whose vision is always distorted and whose constant aim In the past has been to s'.!r up factionalism In the Republican party In PennsylTanla. But happily th day ar1 opportunity for those provok ers of strife has passed. Harmony now prevails In the Republican party in Pennsylvania and it Is to continue to prevail. Tho responses being made to the presentation of Senator Penrose's name by the commit lee named by the caucus ot the Philadelphia legislators elect Is most gratifying. They indicate that sentiment all over tho state it practically unanimous In favor of re turning Senator Penrose to the place he has filled with such signal ability. Senator Penrose has proven himself in the years he has been in (he Senate as one who can do things that are of benefit to the nation at large and to his slate. Ho Is one of tho strong, pa triotic bulwarks of the Senate. Having been one of tho greatest of the factors In bringing about tho election of Mr Taft to the presidency, the wonderful vote rolled up for Mr. Taft In New York being one of the most marked and direct results of tho work Senator Penrose was assigned to do, there can be no question as to the attitude of Sena' or Penrose toward the man he did so much for to elect. Senator Pen rose's Republicanism can never be as sailed. It Is consistent always. ITIs patriotism In all matters affecting the nation; his devotion to the Interests of his Blate; his ever-active Interest and untiring labors for and in behalf of the working people of the country; the splendid executive ability he has shown In filling the arduous position of chairman of the Senate committee on postofflres and post roads; his safe course In matters touching the coun try's financial system all these point" emphasize the desirability of havln ' Senator Penrose returned Ui tho Unite i States Seuale. .. - - - . .
