A JUDICIOUS INQUIRY.
A well known traveling man who visits
the drug trade eays he has often heard
druggists inquire of customers who asked
for a cough medicine, whether it was
wanted for a child or for an adult, and
if for a child they almost invariably
recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
The reason for this is that they know
there is no danger from it and that it
always cures. There is not the least
danger in giving it, and for coughs, colds
and croup it is unsurpassed. For sale by
all druggists.
An indication of the prosperous condition
of Galveston is evidenced by the scarcity
of desirable residences here. The demand
for the better grade of dwelling houses
is greater than the supply and some fam-
ilies have taken quarters in boarding
houses for the simple reason that they
could not rent houses to live in. This is
a good thing for the boarding houses and
a good sign for the town, but there are
enough contractors here who are willing
to accept contracts for building all the
houses needed and those looking for an
investment might find it to their Interest
to look into this field. Rents in Galveston
T(je admiral’s step, it is pointed out, has
been greatly to their advantage, in that
it is capable of precise proof or disproof.
“The Russian admiral can only make
good his case by producing the vessels
whose presence he alleges among the
trawlers,” says the Westminster Ga-
zette. —
The feeling that the British contention
will be upheld pervades all classes and
disposes the public to calmly await ver-

Trinidad, Col., Oct. 29.—Coroner B. B,
sipe has begun inquiry into the fatal ex-
plosion which occurred yesterday after-
noon in Tercio mine No. 3, owned by the
Rocky Mountain Coal and Iron company,
an adjunct of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company.
“The report that 60 men were in the
mine at the time of the explosion is un-
true,” said Coroner Sipe, after visiting
the scene of the accident. "I believe there
are 21 entombed in the mine and all are
dead. I think the explosion which caused

men, and it is believed that at least 60
were in the mine at the time. News of
the explosion brought
the adjacent camps, and tonight hundreds
of men are trying to get -into the mine.
Deadly fumes overcome the rescuers fre-
quently, but their places are immediately
taken by others ready to risk their lives.
It is not thought possible that any
in the mine can escape death if they are
not already dead.
Nearly all the miners are Slavs. The
explosion is supposed to have been caused
by dust. But one body has been recovered,
that of T. Duran, driver, who was just
entering the tunnel when the explosion
occurred.
Not a Single Arrest Made by the Police
Department.
Last night was a peaceful one in Gal ■
veston. Not a single arrest was made by
the police department and the only serv-
ice which they were called upon to per-
form further than quietly patrol the
beats was to close two doors of business
places which had been left open.

Lorandt, between 19th and 20th street,

Officer Uppe found a Yale bicycle yes-

H and brought it to the police station,
and Officer E. J. Lynch found a key to a

Trinidad, Col., Oct. 28.—A terrific explo-
sion occurred at mine No. 3 of the Rocky
Mountain Fuel and Iron company at Ter-
cio, 40 miles due west of Trinidad, at
f.30 this afternoon, and the number of
dead is variously placed between 30 and
40 men. The number reported as having
gone into the mine this morning was 17
miners and four company men. This,
afternoon many more miners are known
to have gone into the mine, and the exact
number of dead may never be known, as

days a complete lull now prevails In dip-
lomatic circles, although Ambassador
Benckendorff had a short Interview with
Lord Lansdowne this afternoon.
Mr. Balfour is playing golf.
How hard Ambassador Benckendorff
worked for peace will probably never be
thoroughly known. When almost every
English paper, especially Times, was de-
manding what would undoubtedly have
led to war, when he was hooted in the
public streets and followed much against
his will by a detective on a bicycle, Count
Benckendorff preserved not only the calm-
est and most ’friendly demeanor, but
frankly admitted to Lord Lansdowne that
Russia might be in the wrong at every
point. The ambassador did not stand on
his dignity nor even resent the bitter rid-
icule of Admiral Ro jestvensky’s report,
merely reiterating that whether the
port was right or wrong, neither he nor
Lord Lansdowne were proper authority to
decide. In this view France and Germany
sympathized, and even Lord Lansdowne
eventually acquiesced.
Rescuers have not yet succeeded in
penetrating to the point where the miners
were working.

DERIDE TORPEDO BOAT STORY.
By Associated Press.
Tokio, Oct. 29.—The reported statement
of an officer on board the Russian battle-
ship Emperor Alexander HI. ’with the
Russian Baltic squadron now at Vigo,
Spain, to the effect that there were foreign
torpedo boats among the Hull trawlers
when they were fired up recently by
Russian warships, and that the Japanese
government is said to have purchased tor-
pedo boats in England, coupled with the
insinuation of torpedo boats in with the
trawlers, has been received in Japan with
mixed feelings of indignation and derision.
It is officially declared in most positive
terms that the Japanese have neither pur-
chased nor ordered a single torpedo boat
in England since the outbreak of the war.
Bone, died yesterday. The
funeral took place this morning at 10
o’clock from the family residence, No. 907
27th street.
Instancing reasons upon
which he based his belief, he said the
fleet commander, Admiral Rojestvensky,
was sick when he left port, and it seemed dress a mass meeting at Cooper Union>
very improbable that the Russian govern- '
ment, if their intentions were serious,
would send a sick admiral to navigate
many thousands of miles to combat a su-
perior force at the end of a long cruise.
"If there were any torpedo boats among
the trawling fleet which was fired upon
by the fleet, it was the duty of the Rus-
sian officer in command,” he said, “to
pursue them and investigate the base of
their dispatch. Russia by delay was seek-
ing to render the diplomatic situation
with England more critical to afford a
plausible excuse to recall its fleet.”
A strong force of the enemy assembled
at Kanglanjenskan and the Russian
guards holding the heights north of Pin-
niulu Pao completely disappeared.
In other directions artillery duels oc-
casionally occurred.
