KILLED BY BY EXPLOSIONS Eight Miners Meet Death and Many Are Injured. SOME OF INJURED WILL DIE Was the Second Disaster to Occur in the Same Mines Within Four Months. Exploding fire-damp in the mines of Mhe Tide Water Coal compaay, in the {Flat Top field at Bluefield, W. Va., caused the deeath of seven men and jseveral others are expected to die of their injuries. The dead are: J. H. Carter, How- ard McGee, Lewis Brown, John Brad- ley, Robert Norman, Page Hendley and Hardin Divins. There were about 15 men in the mine at the time of the explosion. Not one of them escaped injury and it is impossible to learn the cause of the explosion. Numerous theories have been advanced. Several of those who have heen taken from the mine alive are expected to succumb to their wounds. This is the second explosion in this mine in the past four months. July 5 an explosion of fire-damp caused the death of ten men. The most plausible theory given for the cause of the explosion is that one of the miners was working with a naked lamp. A shot is also held re- sponsible but shots are made in all the mines in this district at a fixed hour and the explosion did not occur at that hour. KILLED BY FALLING WALLS Gas Explosion Wrecks Building as They Were Passing.

PROCLAMATION THANKSGIVING President Roosevelt Sees Many Reasons for Its Observance. The President issued his proclama- tion naming Thursday, November 30, next as a day of thanksgiving. The proclamation recounts the reasons for the observance as follows: ship and privation, but terrible risk to their lives. In those grim years the custom grew of setting apart one day in each year for a special service of Thanksgiving to the Almighty for preserving the people through the changing seasons. The custom has now become national and hallowed by immemorial usage. We live in easier and more plenti- ful times than our forefathers, the men who with rugged strength faced the rugged days, and yet the dangers to national life are life are quite as great now as at any previous time in our history. It is eminently fitting that once a year our people should set apart a day for praise and thanksgiving to the Giver of Good, and at the same time that they express their thankful- ness for the abundant mercies re- ceived, should manfully acknowledge their shortcomings and pledge them- selves solemnly and in good faith to strive to overcome them. During the past year we have been blessed with bountiful crops. Our business prosperity has been great. No other people has ever stood on as high a level of material well-being as our own stands. We are not threat- ened by foes from without. The foes from whom we should pray to be de- CZAR GRANTS AMNESTY Manifesto Extends to Those victed of Political Offenses.

POLITICAL PRISONERS RELEAocD Mob Attacked Prison at Warsaw and Battered Down Doors—Many Kilied and Hurt. A dispatch from Odessa describes that city having experienced a dreadful day on the first of Novem- ber, the defenceless populace being at the mercy of a howling rabble of 50,000 men, “calling themselves loy- alists and led by disguised policemen and _their "wretched dupes.” ‘The dispatch says: The Jews made a stout resistance and their successful] bravery entailed lamentable sacrifices.
