The visit of a miner Into a con Oomned entry in mine No. 1 of the Union Pacific Coal company at Hanna, Wyoming, on Tuesday, resulted in an eiploslon which caused the death of 113 men, the partial destruction of the mine workings by fire and the worst mine horror in the hlBtory of Wyoming. At 10:25 oclock Tuesday morning a miner walked into a condemned entry of the colliery. The instant the accumulated gases came in contact with his lamp a fearful explosion oc- curred. Over two hundred men were at work at the time, and of this number all . perished except about twenty-fiveFire followed the explosion and the inoke which poured from the pits mouth was so dense that attempt at rescue by the surface men had to be abandoned for the time being. At noon Superintendent Brooks and a rescue party forced their way Into the mine. The dense smoke rendered their progress extremly difficult, as well as dangerous, and several of the rescue parly wcresovercome and were lent to the surface. At 1 o'clock the rescuers reached the interior workings, and on the third level found several miners badly mangled but living, and a short distance further the doad bodies of several others. Those among the living who were aide to talk said that the men who were at work further In on this level were undoubtedly dead, the number being placed at over 200. Rawlins and Laramie were at once notified of tho disaster and appeals for help were made to aid in subduing tho flames and for surgeons and nurses to care for any Injured that might be roscucd.

It MADE That Question of of Assassins of Former Rulers Will Be Allowed to Lapse. Is Believed Pun-Ishme- nt At Belgrade, Servla, on the 25tn, King Peter Karageorgevitch took the oath before the skupsehtina. Previous to the king's taking the oath there was a joint sitting of the senate and skupsehtina, attended by a religious service at which the metropolitan officiated. The president of the senate opened the session with the announcement that tho king would take the oath to maintain the constitution. King Peter then appeared wearing his orders and decorations and accompanied by bis cabinet ministers. The metropolitan uttered a brief prayer and then read the oath, which the king repeated in a firm voice. Loud cries of Long live Peter punctuated the king's repetition of tho oath. During the day the king had several conferences with the ministers, and a royal proclamation was issued and was well received. It is believed that the question of punishment of the assassins of King Alexander and Queen Draga will ho allowed to lapse. It was remarked today that Colonel Masehln, minister of public works, who took a leading part In the assassinations, kept in tho background during the ceremony at the parliament building. The foreign ministers have loft Belreceived grade. All the ministers similar instructions to act together. was Accordingly an understanding reached that they should depart, this step being regarded as the most emphatic method of Impressing the powers protest against the assassinations of King Alexander and Queen Draga. The Russian and Austrian representatives apparently shared In the principle of the protest, but did not withdraw, because Russia and Austria were appr henslve that a united withdrawal of the entire diplomatic representation at Belgrade would precipitate another revolution.
