miner. The miners are buried nnder a
heavy mass. There la no possible chance

If tlifv tire not already dead.
The main shaft of the mine extends
under the Michigamme river, and the
subsiding of the ground turned the
stream into the mine, flooding it almost
instantly. There were (10 men in the
niine but 15 escaped.
It is now said that only thre nion

time of the accident, and were literally
blown out by the rush of water and air.

Catherlnn.
I-M)ON, Kept. 21). It is announced
tliat the fortified island of Kanta Cath
erine, llrar.il, has surrendered to the
re hols.
The surrender of Santa Cutherins is
looked upon as an important victory for
tiie rebels, as it is contiguous to Iiio
(irande do Sul, which is not seriously
disaffected. The rebel squadron, which
went south from Santos after falling to
effect a landing there, leaving a war
vessel to blockade that point, has been
air the island of Santa Catherina some
time, and the surrender of Desterro on
Us west coast was Announced, but was
lot believed, some days ago. The rebels
ire now said to be in full possession of
tk iMland, which is well watered, capa-
Ue of being made a most important
hurltor and having superb buy, where
I there!! ships can provision and refit.
It will serve us a base from which the
reliuls will direct inland operations, as
the rebel commander Intends to carry on
war on land and gradually, if possible,
gather together an army strung enough
to meet President I'eixoto'a forces in a
pitched battle. 1'eixoto is said to be

on their knees. Mr. Johns says each
was the other's first love, before fate
wedded them to other mates. The bride
elect was to arrive Saturday lust and the
ceremony was to be iierformed Sunday,
hut she failed to connect and the elderly
swain meets every train with his heart
going pit-a-jmt, a lump in his throat
and a tear in his off eye. Mrs. BiggB
had not arrived by Wednesday morning,

kind gets to be very hard, especially on

death of Pallas, the anarchist, who will
be shot in the back next week, is being
discussed throughout Spain. The police

anarchists. An Italir.n named Mancinl
was arrested today charged with being
an accomplice.

THE OLD MAN CONSERVATIVE.
Gladstone Will Go Blow In the Battle
Against the Honee of Lords.
New York, Oct. 1. Harold Frederic
cables the Times from London :
"Although politicians have talked
with Roman firmness about continuing
the battle of the parties in the country
resolutely and at once, and making the
whole recess vibrate with their oratory,
nothing has come of it. Outraged nature
asserts itself in spite of their ardor, for
the people are tired and they will not
listen, so it seems that there is a chance
of having October devoted to the
humanities and to amiable leisure, with
nothing more exciting than a little
pleasant chaff between the two camps.
In the hush which has fallen upon par
tisan strife the only noise heard is the
rattle of Gladstone's reel. As the big
house-of-lords fish flash spiritedly away
into open waters the radical onlookers
are at no pains to conceal the feeling
that the grand old angler is letting out
too much line and playing tbe rod far
too gently. They had hoped for a sharp,
immediate tussle, and, by faith, could
almost feel thoir hands on the gills of
the peerage. But Gludstone was always
conservative, always keen to do things
in his own way. He thinks it better to
go slowly. His speech in Midlothian
was a wet blanket to those earnest cap
tains who were for marching out and
smashing the upper house forthwith. It
has damped the radical powder right
and left, like a sea mist. The liberal
federated association had issued flam
boyant fighting appeal to the party, but
Gladstone's speech took all the stiffening
out of it, and an accident by which the
printers shortened the last two words of
the signature to "Federal Association,"
Imported into the thing an element of
the ridiculous which the opponents
were not slow to jump at. Under these
depressing yet amusing conditions the
great advertised battle with hereditary
privilege stands adjourned till November.
