Washington, Nov. 26.—The October statement of receipts at the thirty larg est postoffices in the country show a net decrease of $43,714, or 1.4 per cent, as compared- with October of the pre vious year. There is nothing signifi cant in this fact, as it is attributed to business inactivity in the political campaign. The increase of mail car ried during the campaign is stated by postoffice officials to have been made up largely of franked matter, so there is little to offset business listlessness. Chehalis, Wash., Nov. 26.—News of a horrible tragedy that occurred in the east end of Lewis county was received- fa ere this afternoon. Mrs. A. R. Swen- yer, the wife o. a farmer living near Ashford postoffice, with a razor cut the throats of her three children, one 5 years old, one 3 years and one 9 months. She then cut her own throat, using the same razor.» . Her husband arrived shortly after and was horrified to find his family weltering in apool of blood. The 3-year-old girl is dead and the eldest is expected to die, but the baby will live. The mother did not succeed in killing herself, but her condition is precarious. No details of the tragedy are known except those received by the coroner here in a note from a neigh bor. No reason is given for the mother’s act. The coroner and sheriff have gone to the scene which is fifty miles from the railroad, in the extreme northeastern part of the county, near the Pierce county line, on the head waters of the Nesqually river. Ail Explanatory Letter. Chehalis, Wash., Nov. 26.—Coroner Sticklin this afternoon received the fol lowing letter, giving an account of the tragedy, near Ashford, from J. B.

The razor, that being the instrument with which she did the awful deed, lay by the mother’s side. Her only cry is, ‘ Why did. I do the deed?’ and still she regrets that she did not kill herself as she in tended. There is no doctor in this part of the county, and the only treatment that the family will get will be what the settlers can do for them, which will be very poor at best, as our means of treatment of such cases are very lim ited. They will bury the dead children near the house. The tragedy happened just about four miles from Ashford ’postoffice, which is in Pierce county.” TERRIFIC EXPLOSION. Asphaltum Mine Near Fort Duchesne on Fire. Salt Lake, Utah,. Nov. 26.—A spec ial to the Tribune from Price, Utah, says that a heavy explosion occurred at the St. Louis Gilson Asphaltum Com pany’s mine, near Fort Duchesne, at 3 o’clock this afternoon,7in which two men were killed and three others in jured. The killed are: Charles An derson and Andy Garner. The explo sion was terrific, the report being dis tinctly heard at Vernal, thirty miles distant. All the buildings at the fort were shaken and many windows broken. The explosion was caused by the combustion of asphaltum dust and gas, the mine immediately taking fire. The heat is so intense that it is impos sible to get near it. The flames are rising from all three shafts 100'feet in the air, and there is no possible way of extinguishing them. It is not probable that the bodies of Anderson and Gar ner will ever be recovered. The entire command at the fort was hurried to the scene, but could render no assistance. MERE MATTER OF ROUTINE. Nothing Secret or Sensational About Fortification. V SOLD Washington, Nov. 26.—At the war department it is stated that there is nothing significant or new in the prepa rations for improving the. battery de fenses at Florida ports, as Key West dispatches ^tate. The annual report of the chief of engineers, made public on June 30, calls attention to the anti quated coast defenses at Fort Marion, St. Augustine and on Florida Keys. It states that large sums could be expend ed on them to advantage, and adds that, “under the authority given by congress to the secertary of war, it is intended to advertise at an early date for proposals for constructing emplace ments for four ten-inch and two eight inch guns on disappearing carriages, and sixteen twelve-inch mortars.” These are the guns referred to in the dispatches from Key West, stating that Lieutenant-Colonel Beinhard has pro ceeded with great secrecy, and that'the contracts are the regular execution of • the work publicly reported five months -ago.

W., Nov. 26.—Re ports have been received from New Hebrides islands, lying west of Fiji, that the natives are being sold like sheep for from £6 to £10 per head, and that many are subjected to great cruel ties. The New Hebrides are under joint Anglo-French control. The New Hebrides Company, which has large in terests in the islands, last year sent a deputation to Sir T. Mcllwrath, the colonial treasurer of Queensland, com plaining of this joint control, and sug gesting, that Sir W. McGregor, ad ministrator of British New Guinea, have jurisdiction over the New Hebri des. Sir T. Mcllwrath said in reply that the only solution lay in the annex ation of the islands by Great Britain or the establishment of a protectorate over them. There is a British high commissioner of the West Pacific who has jurisdiction to settle disputes between British sub jects living in these islands and others. The Anglo-French control was fixed by a convention between Great Britain and France October 24, 1887, in whioh it was agreed that the protec ion of persons and property by means of a mixed commission composed of naval officers belonging to the English and French naval statio s in the Pacific. n Insult to the Spanish Flag. New Castle, Del., Nov. 25.—It has been learned here that the Duke of Te- tuan, Spain’s minister of foreign affairs, has cabled to Senor de Lome, minister to the United States, to pro test to the American z government against the insult to the Spanish flag in this city last week/ when a local mili tary company carried the Spanish col ors from the armory and burned them. The shortest time for circuiting the globe at present is sixty-six days. Well Being Sunk in the Capitol. Salem, Or., Nov/25.— The work of sinking a well on the artesian plan was begun on the state capitol grounds today. Secretary of State Kincaid has contracted with the Watson Bros , of Portland, to bore into the earth until water to his taste shall be found. Four-inch pipe is to be used. The well is being sunk close to the intersection of the walls in the northwest angle of the capitol.

Another experiment in this line and one equally curious is made with a smooth block of Iron or steel and a cake of compressed gun powder. A delicate piece of lace is placed on the metal surface and the disk of powder is laid on top of the fabric. When the powder is detoned the lace will, be utterly annihilated, but its impression will be clearly left on the metal.

Senators Look for Little Save Routine Legislation. Washington,' Nov."25.'J— Members of the senate are coming to Washington each day, and from interviews with each of the arrivals it is apparent that the senators expect little save routine legislation, including the passage of the annual appropriation bills, at the short session of congress. Senators Cockrell, of Missouri, and Hawley, of Connecticut, both gave ex pression to thier opinions today, and both likewise agreed in the opinion that nothing need be expected at the coming session in the way of helping along an international bimetallic con ference. Senator Hawley does not be lieve the Dingley bill will be enacted into a law, adding:z “The Dingley bill is confessedly a mere makeshift, with all the defects incident to horizontal increase or de crease of duties. If it should be passed as it is, it seems to me it would be the duty of the president to assemble con gress as soon as possible after March 4 for a diligent consderation and revi sion of the whole tariff in a considerate and conservative spirit, to the end that a bill might be passed that would stand the test of years, subject, of course, to an occasional correction where new in ventions and changes in trade may de mand it. It is to be remembered, also, that the Dingley bill expires by its own limitation in August, 1898, and it is impossible to evade the question; therefore, the more speedy action there is taken, the better.” An Armenian Scrap. Lynn, Mass., Nov. 25.—The timely arrival of the police prevented a riot at an Armenian meeting last night The meeting was an attempt* to amalgamate two branches of the Hechagist Revolu tionary Society, an Armenian organ ization, to whioh nearly every one of the 300 Armenians in this city belong. Soon it was evident there was a strong sentiment against the movement and one of the speakers was interrupted. He resented this and aroused the ire of some in the audience. Some person in the gallery hurled a chair, which pre cipitated a free fight on the floor, in which knives were drawn, but the po* lice rushed in and cleared the hall. Vancouver, B. C., Nov. 25.—A. C.
