Harrowing Scenes) at the Mouth of the Mine Where the Tratredy Occurred Recall the Dunbar Tragedy. Scottualb, Pa., Jan. 28. An explos ion of fire damp occurred yesterday in the shaft of the H. C. Frick Coke Co. The after-damp which followed the ex plosion suffocated nearly every work man who was not killed out-right. A few men realizing the awful situa tion, fell to the ground, thereby prevent ing the gas from striking them. The per sons not killed are in such a critical con dition that they nre momentarily expec ted to dit The fire which broke out after thccxplosion was soon extinguished by immense fans which were put in oper ation. 1 he gas was then driven from the pit, and the work of recovering the bodies commenced. One hundred and seven bodies hnvc lccn taken from the ill-fated mine, no one of Prick & Co., at Mammoth. Vn to 10 o'clock this morning it is estimated there remain at least seventeen more victims nt the explosion still in the pit, but it is thought all will be out in a few hours. Nobody slept at Mammoth last night. In every home in the little mining hamlet there was mourning, yet there was no demonstration. Little one story houses, scantily furnished, were illuminated with tallow candles. Mother, wife, sis ter, or sweetheart, solilicd in silence. Thev only knew that a mysterious ac cident has befallen their kindred and friends. They cannot see the tlead. They have little care for their living. Thtirgfief is deep and keen. After the explosion yesterday the news of the nwfulfate of the scores of miners nt work in the shafts spread rapidly amoiiir the mines and miners' homes. The cour iers carried the dreadful news hither and thither and families dashed fromlhecom- forts of a home into the depths of grief und despair. Within nn incredibly short time the entrance to the shaft was surrounded with the eager, anxious crowd of men, women and children, some of whom could with great difficulty, only, be kept ui a suie distance, as uouics ot victims, mangled by the terrible force of the ex plosion or burned almost out of human semblance, were brought from the yawning depths the crowd of watchers pushed forward to the pit for a glimpse of recognition. The hearts of wives and sisters stood still in fear that their loved ones were among the dead. The more disinterested ones quailed be fore the scene. Tears coursed down bronzed and bearded cheeks and were dashed away by brawny hands that had swung the picks for many years. I he rescuing party proceeded with their grim task and the crowd ol watchers silently looked on. It was one of those scenes which, once witnessed, re mains lorever impressed uoon the mem ory of the spectator. llns catastrophe, while involving more than five tunes the loss of lite occasioned by the Dunbar disaster, differs in many rcsiiects from the lat- tet. At Dunbar the explosion set fire to the mine and the shaft tor dm sand weeks was a roaring furnace, adding horrors to the great fatality. In yester day's occurrence this was not the case and by the perfect working of the fan pure air was torced into the mine and the work of rescuing was permitted to begin at once. Fifty coffins arrived from Pittsburg this morning and another half hundred will reach to-night. An additional order for twenty-five more was sent this mor ning. The cause of the explosion has not yet been determined. The coroner is on the grounds and a thorough investi gation will be made. Xo arrangements have yet lcen made for the funeral. The victims will be buried by the company. Many of the unfortunates are Hungari ans. PUFI'KR'S MAJORITY. It's nig Enough to neat Ingalls Easy. Topkka, Kas., Jan. 28. The house was half an hour late in assembling yester day. There were no nominating speeches. The result of the ballot for senator in the house was: Pcffcr (alliauc"), '.Hi; In- galls, 23; Gen. Geo. W. Blair, t The house then adjourned. At noon the senate proceeded to ballot lor senator. There were no nominating sccchcs. The vole was: lngalls, 2"; PelTcr, 2; Blair, 1 ; Senator Kclley (Rep.), 1; Congressman Morrell, 1. Senator lngalls was declared the choice of the senate amid considerable enthusiasm. The senate then adjourned. t'p to a year ago Pcffcr was a staunch republican. He favors the unlimited coinage of silver, the conservative expan sion oi currency, and a moderate protec tion of home industries, but does not believe in protection as a principle, lie favors the govennmcnt loaning money at 2 and 3 per cent, on farm mortgages.

Bancroft's will directs that his historical manuscripts be offered to con gress for purchase for the congressional library. Senator Aldrich, who had charge of the closure resolution for the republicans, suvs he regards the postponing vote as decisive, and that there is no use pro longing the struggle. WORLD'S FAIR HONEY, None From New Jersey If the Force Bill Goes. Trenton, N. J Jan. 28. The senate this morning concurred in the resolutions adopted by the house last week denounc ing the federal elections bill and asking the New Jersey congressmen to oppose the same. The resolution offered last night that New Jersey withhold appropriationsfrom the World's Fair if the elections bill passes congress, was adopted by the assembly this morning. The vote on the resolution was a party one. A BATTLE ON lY CHILL THE INHVROENTB MAKING A WORLD OF TROUBLE. Foreign Residents Not Protected and the Ministers will Probably Soon Leave theCountry. London, Jan, 28. Dispatches received in this city from Chili, via Buenos Ayrcs, bring further particulars concerning the revolution in Chili. Rebel Chilian war vessels occupied the roadsteail at I'oi to Coqtiimbo four days ugo. War vessels also fired shots into the town and prob ably at the troops defending the coal depots. The troops from Valparaiso are occu pying La Serena in force. The Balmncedn troops were quartered in the hospital and the schools of Ln Serena, and ure supposed to have been driven out of I'orto Coquimbo. The insurgents have blockaded Tongoy on the Tongoy bay, about thirty miles from Coquimbo. The latter advices state that it is re ported that a battle has been fought at Tongoy. The rebels have occupied Linia- ehe-Alto, a town only fifteen miles from Valparaiso. At Limachc-Alto, the rebel forces took possession of the national factories and expelled the director and adherents of President Halmace;la lrom town. The proiiertv of foreign residents is suffering considerably from the rebellion. 1 he diplomatic representatives have in formed the Chilian government that they will embnrk on board foreign vessels if the conflict continues. President Iialmaceda, in reply, has asked the foreign representatives to de lay embarkation for a few days. E. F. MOORE ARRESTED. Charged With Embezzling Io6. ooo at Fayettevllle. Faybttkvh.i.k, N. C, Jan. 20. Late this afternoon 15. F. Moore, ex-president of the broken People's National bank was arrested on a warrant sworn out by a I'nitcd States commissioner charging him with embezzling $100,000 of the funds of said bank. The defendant's at torney has asked foracontiuunnccuntil 9 o'clock in the morning and Moore was placed under bond of $1,000 for his ap pearance. I'nitcd States District At torney C. A. Cook and United States Marshal J. B. Hill are both here. It is thought that Moore will waive examin ation and give bond for his appearance at the federal court in Wilmington in May. Wm. G. Leduc, of Michigan, has been appointed receiver and will arrive to morrow. Wilmington Messenger. The South' s Showing. Washington, Jan. 25. There were en rolled in the public schools of the t'nited States at the latest general enumeration, 13,291,259 pupils. This is a great show ing; but the most suggestive fact about it is that in no fewer than six states, and Northern states nt that, there wag an absolute decrease in the number of pupils enrolled, in spite of increases in popula tion. In the state of New York, while the average growth of the population of school age was 30,000, the gain in en rollment was 544, so that there was a bare escape from adding a seventh to the number of states which show an actual decrease of the number of enrolled pupils. Not less remarkable and suggestive is the compensation for this decline in the growth of public school education nt the south. There we find that the ratio of pupils to population, which was 6.3 in 1870, had become !(. in 1880, and had 18.7 ten years afterward ; or, in other words, the ratio had trebled in twenty years. Sunk a Schooner. l.uwis, Del., Jan. 28. The British steamer Macedonia, from Philadelphia for Hampton Koiuls, collided with n three masted schooner last night ten miles off Delcwarc caic. The schooner sank immediately. Her captain's son was drowned and the captain was badly injured. The Macedonia passed up nt 5 a. ni. to-dav for Philadelphia with the survivors on board. Plenty of Seals. London, Ian. 28. Replving to a ones tion in the house ol commons, Sir James percussoon, under toicign secretary, said that it was not now desirable to publish the diplomatic document relating to the Behring sen matter. 1 he latest report on the condition ot the seal hshery was that the weather was unfavorable for fishing, but that the seals were as plcntr ful as ever.

No Decision Reached Vet. of Course Arguments Made by the Attorney-General and by Cal dron Carlisle for Great Britain. Washington, Jan. 28. The Behring sea case came up in the supreme court yesterday pursuant to an order made by the chid justice. The United States was represented by Attorney-general Miller and Solicitor-general Tatt, and the gov ernment of Great Britain by Joseph H. Choate, of New York, and Calderon Car lisle. Vice-President Morton, Represen tative Greenhalge. The matter came before the court in the shaw of an application for leave to file a petition for writ of prohibition to issue from the supreme court to the dis trict court of the territory of Alaska to annul proceedings in that court against the schooner W. P. Sayword which was libelled and forfeited to the United States for violation of the laws of this country forbidding the taking of fur seals in the waters of Behring sea. At 1 o'clock the case was taken up, and Calderon Carlisle ojiened for Great Britain. He said it was his duty at the outset, especially because it had leen made a subject of comment in the brief of the United States, even to the extent of asserting that this proceeding was not a)ona fide effort to have the court decide upon the matter of the private right, to state the reason for announcing that the ictitiori was filed by Thomas Henry Cooper and with the suggestion of the Canadian government, lliscollengucand himself considered that, in view of the fact that the Canadian owner of the vessel had appealed to his own local government for aid in the prosecution of his jtrivate right, and in view of the fact that they were both retained by that government to aid in the assertion of those private rights, good faith to the court required that they should not conceal, but dis close in the plainest terms the actual tacts in the matter. The attitude of the United States justified their course with out question. They did not think for one moment that if all the princes and potentates of the earth came hei.4o sug gest or petition that it could weigh or.r earners weight in their disnosition of the question of private rights. They should be ashamed as American lawyers to make such a proposition to the court. Attorney Ucneral Miller and Solicitor General Taft made the arguments for the united Mates government. Chinese ."'View of Western Man ners. President W. A. P. Martin in the Feb. Forum. The High Commissioner Keying, who was sent to Canton in 1842 to negoti ate a treaty with the F.nglish, tried to be polite when he was placed at table be tween two liuroean ladies. The ladies, it is needless to say, were charmed bv his urbanity; but some years later, when on the capture of the city copies of ins reports to the emperor tell into the hands of the Knglish. thev saw the other side of the picture. The report ran: 'Your majesty's servant accented from policy an invitation to dine with the bar barian chief; but what was his astonish ment to find himsell seated between two women ! His first impulse was to retard the affair as an affront, and to leave the table; but, on second thought, he deemed it lietter to conceal his feelings, and not to risk the rupture of our negotiation."

AFFAIRS OF CONSEQUENCE. FOKKIGN. More government troops have joined n... : j... . ci.:i: kilt IllSlllgClllS 111 V.IUII. It is stated that the real cause of the death of the heir apparent to the throne ot ifeigium was internal variola. The river Scnne, which flows throucli Brussels, having overflowed its bnnks, i nc low lying suourDs ot the city were flooded to a depth of five feet. Food was conveyed to the inhabitants of the flooded quarters by boats. HOMIi. Mayor Grant, of New York, is coming soiiiu lor a mtic rest. Governor McKinney, of Virginia, docs not think the elections bill will become n law. The idea of ignoring the world's fair to defeat the force bill is taking in New York. The Reading railroad has obtained con trol of important terminal lucihtics at Buffalo. Harris A. Simlor, of New Y'ork. has been sentenced to death by electricity lor wuc muruer. The street car railway business is re ported to be prospering in all cities of the i nitea states. The damage to the New York electrical companies by the storm is estimated at hall a million dollars. The Indiana legislature will make no appropriation tor a world s lair exhibit pending debate on the force bill. Not a fire from electric wires occurred in Philadelphia last year owing to en forcement of strict regulations by the Underwriters' Association. The democratic police board of New Orleans has unanimously chosen Mr. D. h. Gastcr to be duct of police to fill the vacancy caused by the murder of Chief Hennessey on the night of the 15th of October last year.
