A Coal Mine Horror.
Brussels, March 11. An accident oc
corred today in a colliery near Charlrroi,
which, it is feared, will result in a grett
loss oi Jiie. iwo Dunarea mioers were
employed in a coal pir, when there was
a terrific explosion of fire damp. The
fate of the imprisoned workmen is an
known. Efforts are being made to rescue
any who may have survived the explo
(ion.
The explosion was at the Annderlius
colliery, in which 200 men were at work
Only three of these have thus far reached
the mouth of the pit in safety. The men,
it anv nave survived the shock of the ex
plosion, are apt to meet their death from
choke damp, as with the destruction of
ventilation it is impossible to nd the
mine of ganea. A large force of volun
teers are at work clearing the mcuth tof
?r"si
the mine of the debris, in ordei to reach
miners. A large number
are marriei, and their
families and friends at the pit's nioutlr
are frantic with grief.
Later particulars regarding the explo
sion show it occured in a gallery 400 feet
below toe surface, where 270 men were
working. Of this number, forty escaped
by means of a second shaft, and sixteen
others were rescued in a fatally injured
condition. It is feared that of the men
in the mine 200 have been killed.
- The Chilian Police.
Valparaiso, Chili, March 11. Consul
McCreery is investigating- the case of
another sailor who, it is alleged, was tbe
victim of brutal treatment at tbe hands
of the Valparaiso police and died from
the effects. Tbe seaman's name was
Carlos Carisseo, and be was a native of
Swed n. He was employed aboard the
liark Edward Didder, which arrived here
on February 8 from New Yojk on tbe
way to Antofagasta. She sails from
Si arppnrt, Me. Carlnsen was found early
on the morning of February 21, lying on
the Cable Blance. He was suffering from
a wound in tbe abdomen. Carisseo says
that he bad been wounded by tbe Val
paraiso police and sailors. He gave sim
ilar testimony to Consul McCreery, who
visited him in tbe hospital. Tbe man died
February 27. On Wednesday the consul
presented -a letter to the intecdante of
Valparmso, quoting from Carlssen's dec
laration, and addiDg a request for an ini
mediate investigation of tbe case. He
argcrs in a positive manner that the po
lice are euiltv of havine- committed
tbe assault, as alleged by Carlssen. The
captain of the bark Edward Bidder,
however, is firmly of the opinion that bis
sailor's death is not attributable in any
way to the police.

Slay JLyDch the Indian.
New Whatcom, "VJash- March 11.
The defense in tbe Siwloos case closed
Thursday night. The rebuttal, which
was not marked by anything of a pro
nounced character, saye the discovery of
more blood to tbe alleged credit of tbe
young half-breed, Henry Williams, occu
pied a portion of this, forenoon. The
witness, Williams, ' was asked by the
defence to thrust bis band into a pocket of
tbe pantaiooas be bad on tbe day of tbe
murder, and to turn tbe same inside out.
He did so. The prosecution asked,
-What is that?" pointing to a stain.
Tbe witness, who is alleged to be a prin
cipal in the infamous murder, answered.
eoiiiv. "That is blood. Who put it there?"
Tbe hloody garments in each case have
been in . tbe possession of tbe Indians,
who are active in bebalf of Swiloos. The
panta onns were ruled out. Opinions
oilier as to the guilt of the defendant, al
though' the majority of spectators tbink
tbe testimony of tbe defense a carefully
prepared couspiracy to' acquit Swiloos
and bang the half-breed nephew, Wil
liams. Tbe attorney-general made tbe
opening argument for tbe state and was
followed by 8. H. Piles for tbe defense.
The detense is not finished yet. There
are rumors of a lynching, should there be
a la lure to convict.
Well-Digger Rilled and a Woman
.Frightened to Death.
, Tacoma, March 11 William Ainslie
was killed today near Steilacoom, while
digging a well, by a bucket falling on
bis bead. The news of tbe death so
shocked Mrs. Malvin. a neigbbo 's wife,
wbo was suffering from heart disease,
that she fainted and died. Aio ife had
tbe contract to die tbe well, and "had got
down fifty feet. Tbe earth was beijg
boisted in large ' buckets by steam.
While a bncket of eartb was a part of I
tbe way np tbe steam began to escape
from tbe boiler, and tbe attendants, fear
ing an explosion, ran away. When the
bucket reached tbe top of tbe well it
tumbled back again, there being no one
there to handle it. Ainslie has a wife
and iamilv. Mrs. Malvin swooned and
died almost instantly.
Bave Again Clone Korth.
Washington, March 11. Two British
vessels, seized in the Bebring eea last year
for the violation of the modus vitendi, are
said to be among the vessels wbicb have
already started for tbe sealing grounds.
These vessels are the Otto and E. B. Mar-
win. So far as known' tbe British gov
ernment has not even instituted proceed -ings
against them. On the other band
the La JjTympha and Ethel, the two Amer
ican vessels seized for tbe same offense.
were libeled and condemned by tbe
United States court. Today there is con
siderable adverse comment in official
circles regarding tbe radically different
action of tbe governments in matters in
which, at the time, they were supposed to
be in full accord. .
The liners (strike.
London, March 12. Tbe great strike
in the collieries, which bus been threat
ened tor seme time, was formally begun
today. What tbe end will be cannot be
predicted, tboueh it will cause a vast
amount of suffering. It is estimated
fully 450,000 miners are idle, and unless
tbe trouble is speedily settled this number
will be greatly increased within tbe next
few days. All the colliers in Durham
.Lancashire, Cheshire and Yorkshire are
idle. Tbe miners of Scotland, South
Wales and Northumberland are working
quietly, but it is understood tbey are
prepared to go out if necessary. With so
many miners idle it will net be long be
fore tbe scarcity ot coal will be felt, and
tbe factories will then be obliged to shut
down. If tbe strike is persisted in it will
result in an incalculable amouDt of bard
ship and pecuniary loss. Tbe Belgian
shippers are sending coal to tbe Tyne and
tbe Thames. The colliers carrying these
consignments are expected to arrive
Monday. Tbe coal porters will attempt
to prevent the uifcharge of these cargoes,
and it is learned this will lead to a re
newal of tbe dock troubles. One of tbe
results of tbe split which has occurred
among the North Wales miners is that
tbe men working in flint will not go on a
strike, bnt will work not more than nve
days a week. Wooden barricades are
being built around the mouth of tbe
various pits id Durham, and none of the
miners wilt be allowed inside these in
closures. It is believed that at the con
ference, to be held Wednesday next by
the miners' federation, it will be decided
to limit tbe holiday to one week, and to
restrict tbe output during tbe summer.
BANKED THEIR FIRES.
London, March 13 Many large indus
trial establishments in the vicinity of the
colliers banked their fires when their
operatives left work. This means work
will not be resumed Monday, the manu
facturers refusing to pay tbe extraordi
nary prices now demanded for cool.
Delegates from all the colleries have de
cided to submit to no reduction of wages.
Kelgium's Horror.
Brussels, March 12. The news from
tbe Anderlues pit this morning shows
that the disaster is even worse than was
believed yesterday. Late last nlgbt while
tbe searchers were at work, tbey labored
under the greatest difficulty on account of
the fumes in tbe pit. Instead of dimin
ibhing, tbe difficulty grew worse, and
early this morning they discovered the
mine was on fire. By this time the rescu
ing party bad been compelled to leave
tbe mine, and soon after tbe smoke began
to make its appearance at tbe mouth of
the pit. It is now certain no more
miners will be foucd alive. It is believed
that ful'ly 250 have periahed, including a
large number ot women who were em
ployed in the mine. There is little
abatement in tbe excitement about
Charleroi. The lire is still burning
in the lower gallery.. The debris and
carcasses of forty horses block tbe ap
proach to the gallery, where tbe bodies
are known to be. It is now ascertained
that 270 persons were working in tbe
mine at the time of tbe explosion. Most
of tbem were at work in tbe two galleries,
where tbe greatest damage was done.
Mining experts say probablv every per
son working in the lower gallery must be
dead, and few are expected to be rescued
from tbe npper gallery, wbicb is filled
with deadly gases. Thirty bodies have
been recovered.
A Caui-e of Anxiety.
London, March 13. Tbe Bebring Sea
trouble is causing great anxiety to the
government. A question in parliament
was put down on the subject by a learn
ing tory for Monday, but pressure was
brought to bear on him privately by
Balfour, to withdraw it, which be did.
Tbe truth is that Lord Sa'isburv finds no
popular sympathy for any policv calcu
lated to estrage the United States. Talk
in pailiument and political clubs indi
cates general amazement tbat be should
ever run tbe risk be has done ot promot
ing bad feeling. It is due to nothing
more than Salisbury's constitutional taste
ior bullying. Tbe moment be realizes
tbat America will not stand it, be may
be safely counted on to knuckle' down.
Bismark's experience with Salisbury
buring the Berlin treaty negotiations was
very intimate. He afterwards described
the British premier as bein "a latb
painted to look like iron." Salisbury's
whole . career at tbe foreign office is a
complete vindication of Bismark's view.
Tbat Salisburv and Balfour are not
friendly to America is indisputed. Tbey
are both tory aristocrats, bating
all
forms of popular government.
An Incident of the Riot. ,
Paris, March, 13. An incident of the
recent Berjjja noting has just leaked out.
Major Hudson, an Imperial aid-de-camp,
wbo escorted the emperor in tbe Tbier
garten the day .when be was booted and
insulted Ijy,' the mob, says tbat William
kept calm throughout tbe adventure, bat
looked deadly pale. Near Brandenburg
gate tbe crowd pressed tbe sovereign so
bard tbat be put bis band to bis sword as
though be wonld bave drawn it. Major
Hnlson at once spurred bis borce forward
and exclaimed, "Aber majestat," in a
warning tone. Tbe emperor took the
bint, aud bis sword was not unsheathed.
Had be yielded to his first "impulse, tbe
anger of tbe mob might bave resulted in
serious trouble and caused a tremendous
misfortune. . In their mood at tbe time,
tbe mob would have respected nothing.
Tbe second day of the rioting it seemed
tbat tbe empress was so much alarmed
that preparations for ber flight with her
children were begun at the palace. These
fears bave not yet been allayed.
The Sidney Naval Station.
Sidney, Wash., March 12, In an in
terview with Lieutenant Wyckoff, of tbe
Puget Sound naval station, be expressed
himself as follows: s-rtVV
I have been expecjftwf''etery''day tbat
tbe advertisements lor 'bids for work on
tbe Port Orchard drvdock would appear,
and tbat we shall be fairly started before
long. Tbe Nipsic was to bave been here
before this, but she was waiting for the
Mohican, wbicb is to furnish ber crew
until sbe reaches here. I suppose, bow-
ever, both vessels will be here soon.
Private letters, wbicb are net official,
bring word that tbe Mohican .will coal
here for ber trip north, At present they
get all their supplies at San Francisco,
because tbe Mare Island nayy yard is
there. ' When tbe Paget naval station- is
fully established tbere will, of course, be
a change.

Tacoma, March 12. Tbe funeral of

vin, wbo dropped dead when she' beard
of his death, will take place tomorrow,

and the latter from ber home in Sixth

The First Arident.
Spokane, Wash., March 13. Tbe first
serious accident to occur on tbe line of
the Great Northern in this vicinity
happened this morning about 3:30 on tbe
line of grade near tbe Little Spokane
River. James Murphy, foreman of the
night gaDg, was tamping some light
o.asts, and in the darkness got too near
another blast, tbe fuse of which bad al
ready been lit. Murphy was terribly cut
and bruised by tbe explosion. He was
brongbt to this city today in an uncon
scious condition and taken to tbe bospi
lat. .ray.iicians thins ne cannot live.
Baj ard Opposes Free Progress.
Wilmington, Del., March 14. In
open letter to the Democratic party of
the United States, printed in an afternoon
paper today in the shape of an interview.
Thomas F. Bayard draws a vivid picture
of the evils he believes would follow the
passage of the free silver bill. Among
other things Mr. Bayard says:
A silver dollar means a poorer dollar.
and the poorer the dollar tbe poorer must
be ifej owner. Let this thought be borne
in mind when tbe immense aggregate of
the wages oi labor is assailed by any
policy that we would make a silver dollar
or a paper dollar, of less worth, of lea
purchasing power than a gold dollar. It
is not necessary to draw a picture of tbe
distress! ul results tbat afflict a country
deprived of the anchorage of a stable
standard of value, tor uncertainty wonld
attend every business transaction, gmbV
lng in tbe chances wonld replace careful
and settled calculations, and fluctuations,

Yesterday morning appeared before the
recorder a genial professional hobo, one wbo
seemed to tbe manner born, and wbo bad
plied his vocation in numerous states and
territories. He was not one of the ordinary
unsophisticated tramps; but bad carefully
studied the art, and fully noderstood the
amenities of the profession. Of course he
was not burdened with the vnlgar substance
known as coin, and, by reason of this slight
discrepancy, was forced to remain in the
city jail for a longer time than 'was agree'
able to the cultivated and refined feelings
of the unfortunate victims.-

der the control of tbe English company a
ledge was cross-cut and recently Mr. Miller
has run both ways on it and it has devel
oped into a ten-incb vein of exceedingly

will be atruug ont along the O. S. L. branch
of the U. P. railway during the next 60

Localizer: We bave been told that there
are gold and silver mine in the mountain
northwest of the city, and not more than
even miles distant from tbe city. This
would indicate that the country is very far
from being thoroughly prospected. The
weather being warm and pleasant ha in
duced many of tbe prospectors to leave in
search of new mine, and to prospect fur
ther the claim discovered at the beginning
of the winter. This promises to be a lively
summer for the claimant on the Swank.
Localizer: Tbe winter ha been unusually
favorable tor stock in this county, although
tbe gran was abort when the winter com
menced. The per centage of lose does not

into a deer in the road. Sam Smith took
after it with his four horse team. Too deer
kept the road, and the animal and hi
trange pursuer fairly flew down Park riyer

siderably ahead, but a dog (cared it and '
compelled it to take the back trail. Being
between the approaching stage and the dog,
the deer was compelled to take to the deep

A funny discovery ha been made bv a
French scientific traveler at least be say
he made it that in the Canary islands .the
natives have a whistling language. They
whistle instead of talk, and tbe perform
ance is accomplished by putting two finger
inside the mouth aud then blowing. The
language is much like the Spanish, though
how M. Lajard can koow that is bard to
say. It is as If oue should put two lingers
in his mouth and whistle the words. "Hello.
Jones!" instead ot speaking them in the or
dinary way. But wby the Canary inhabi
tants should take all that (rouble, especially
wheu they were in a place where tbey could
cot wash their bands, is not clear. They - '
would convey all the diseaoe microbes in
the universe into their bodies. The whole
story ha a mixed up look somehow.
