DEATH LIST NUMBERS 111
Thrilling Experience Attended the
Efforts of Rescuers.
Johnstown. Pa.. July 12. Of the 600
men t-upposed to have entered the
Tiouth of the Rolling Mill mine of the
Cambria fcteel Company on Thursday
morning 111 are dead. 22 were res
cued alive and many others escaped
from the mine and reported at the
fflce of the company. Thrilling experi
ences attended the efforts of the 40
brave nn.l daring fellows who went
down into the bowels of the earth
with a very faint hope to spur them
that still they might be in time to re
store to life some of those who are
entombed. Death lurked everywhere
ar mnd them, but undaunted they surg
el forward, swayed with the noblest
of human purposes.
Katly yesterday afternoon cheering
word i a : ne from the Innermost recess
es i f the mine that life yet lingered in
sum" of the bodies found. The res
i ueis mad.' first for No. 4. left heading,
whl. h they had been unable to reach
the night before. Kails of roof almost !
choked up the heading, but through and'
over the debris the brave men p.ishedi
their way. In the front Patrick Mar-1
tin, his brother Peter. Philip White
and several others made their way.
Suddenly in an open space they were
startled by the maniac laugh which'
emanated from a blackened form that!
rushed at them out of the darkness.1
The man grasped firmly a pick handle,
and tried in his frenzy to beat down his'
! rescuers. He was overpowered and
, dragged back to the main heading to
the cars. Thirteen other living men
were found In this chamber and physi-
1 i ians were quickly taken to the spot.
The remains of son 3 of the dead
were in a terrible state, showing that
j there had been slow death in each,
case. One of the men had his mouth
1 and nose tied about by a towel. The
rest of his face was burned beyond re-
I cognition. The bodies of all were
twisted in horrible shapes, most of the
. arms being crooked so as to shield (he
' fnee. The only one who could be iden
t!:ied at the pit mouth was Fire Boss
Joseph Tomlinson. Nearly all the
I bodies were identified at the morgue,
j the foreigners by a Polish priest.

UMPIRES DIFFICULT TASK
High Ranking Officers of Both

Victorious Plans Include Attempt
to Shell New York.
Washington, July 15. Plans are ma
terializing for the naval movements
which will precede the Joint army and
naval manoeuvres this autumn. Tho
arrangements have been placed entire
ly In the hands of Rear Admiral Hlg
ginson, commanding the North Atlan
tic station and he is expected soon to
settle matters of general detail such as
the limits within which the "enemy's"
ships may attack, the selection of a
commander for the "eniufty's" force
and the selection of the ships which
will compose the attaiklng squadron.
An Interesting part of the work in
both sets of manoeuvres will be that
assigned to the "umpires." Olllcers will
be assigned to ench of the ships in the
r.aval manoeuvres, and to both ships
and fortifications in the joint exerciseR,
to act as judges, and it Is understood
that tho final decision in the greater
manoeuvres as to whether the army
or the navy has been victorious will be
rendered by a board of high ranking
officers from both branches of the ser
vice, probably headed by Admiral
Dewey. The task of tho Individual
Judges will not be an easy one, for the
entire scheme of the exercises is to bo
based on probability. For instance, a

As to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal,
the main reason is considered by prac
tically all the best Informed persons to
have been simply a desire for a quiet
life on the part of a man advanced in
years, whose activities have been un
usual, and whose scientific tastes pre
dispose him to study and seclusion.
That the retiring premier's health has
failed to some extent la undeniable;
but this Is not more than perhaps It
is to be expected In a man of, his years,

appropriate time for his withdrawal.

It is generally regarded as certain
thnt the full extent of tho disaster is
now know n. State inspectors say that
the condition of all the workings are
now free ol gas, and the almost perfect
ventilating apparatus are rushing cur
rents of pur" air into the uttermost
recesses of the subterranean workings.
Th-re has not been a single place out
side of the old abandoned chambers
that have not undergone the scrutiny
of experts to pronounce everything in
as good condition as could bo asked or
demanded.
Saddest of all the scones following
the mine disaster of Thursday were
those attending the funerals Satur
day and yesterday of the I'.t
vietims. ruder tho black pall ol
smoke that hangs over the city
church lu lls tolled continually, and all
day long the dead carts rumble 1
through tin streets to the Slav, Crea
tion, flreek and Roman Catholic
churches, where the scenes of leave-
I tal:ing were most affecting. Nearly
j all the funerals took place in the rem
1 1 -t.-ry where are buried the dead of the
' great Johnstown flood,
j The burial was simplified by tho dig
' ging of long trenches, in place of sep
arate graves. In one ot tne.se cot
fins were lowered.

HISTORIC TOWER FALLS
Chirr.es of St. Mark's Cathedral, Ven
ice, Crashes Down.
Venbe. July 13. The bell tower of
hir-tnri- St. Mark's Cathedral, ?..'2 feet
l.ich. suddenly collapsed yesterday and
fell into the plaza. The ruins are piled
up to the height of 100 feet, and the
Piazza di San Marco and the adjoining
squares are covered with debris and
dust. Some damage was done to the
Fansovino tiggetta, or vestibule, on
the east side of the Campanile.
The tower is now a heap of ruins.
It is not believed that there was any
; loss of life. The cathedral proper and
, the iJogeg pala.e escaped injury, but
I the falling tower struck the Royal Pal-
ae, damaging a corner. A cordon of
j troops was Immediately ordered to the
1 plaza, and kept back the huge
crowds which struggled to get a
hlght of the ruins. The accident, which
In the eyes of Italy amounts to a ver
itable catastrophe, is almost the great
em art loss the kingdom has ever suf
red.

Chancellor of Exchequer Leaves Cabi
net With Salisbury.
London, July 15. Sir Michael Hicks
lteai h. chancellor of the exchequer,
has resigned from the British cabinet
as a result of the retirement of Lord
Salisbury as premier and the appoint
ment of A. J. Balfour, government
leader in the house of commons, as his
successor. This announcement wa.-t
made yesterday, and caused great sur
prise to those who had predicted that
::. ministerial disturbance would fol
low the change of premiers. Rumors
are now spreading to the effect that
other changes will follow.
The resignation of Sir Michael Hicks-
l'.eaeh was generally taken to be almost
more important than Lord Salisbury's,
and was regarded In some quarters as
being directly due to the more im
tiortant voire which Mr. Chamberlain
will have in the new cabinet.
The position of Joseph Chamberlain,
colonial secretary, is the chief subject
of discussion. Those who seem to
know say that he will retain his port
folio in much the same conditions as I
under Salisbury. The basis for thlsj
belief Is that Balfour consulted Cham-I
b( rlain before accepting his new office
It is surmised that some compromise
was effected by which the disappointed
minister has been conciliated.
The Court Circular announces that
King Edward conferred upon Lord Sal
isbury at last Friday's audience the
Grand Cross of the Victorian Order,
set with brilliants.
SHOT BY REJECTED SUITOR
Charles McCormick Fired Two Bullets
Into Llllie Lane.
Trenton, N. J., July 14. Charles Mc
Cormick, aged 38 years, Is locked up
at police headquarters, charged with
shooting 16-year-old Llllie Lane yester

Is about six miles south of Trenton.
1 The girl Is at SL Francis Hospital, with
one bullet In her breast and another in
1 her left arm. The physicians at the
hospital are hopeful of her recovery.
1 The shooting was the result of the
girl's refusal to receive continued at
1 tentlon from McCormick after her par-
ents had learned that he was a married
' man. McCormick represented himself
as being divorced. Yesterday afternoon
Miss Une and a girl friend and the lat
t -r's brother were at Yardvllle waiting
to take a trolley car to Trenton, when
McCormick came up. He asked io talk
to Miss Lane, but she refused to leave
her companions to talk with blm. Then
he pulled a revolver from bis pocket
and fired three times. McCormick was
overpowered by others who were near
. by and subsequently brought to Tren
' ton and locked up. He has not made
; any statement It U understood that
1 be had been drinking.
I hold at New York, it is expected that
he will co-operate with Rear Admiral
Hlgginson In drawing up a complete
and definite plan for the game of war
! between the army and navy, which bo
gins the latter part of August.
