A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
NARROW E8CAPF, FOR SEVEN-
TV-FIVE MINERS.
Terrible Scenes Around a Colora
do Mine, and an Exhibition of
Bravery That CanieJUMt In Time.
Nkw Castle, Col., Feb. 3. Last eve
ning, in the ground river coal and coke
mines, as the day shift, composed of seventy-five
miners, was about to leave the
mines, a terrific explosion occurred and
immediately the black smoke came pour
ing out of the side of the mountain.
Men, women and children rushed to
wards the entrance of the mine, only to
lie driven back by the smoke. Above the
roar of the escaping gases the pitiful
cries of the imprisoned miners could
plainly be heard by their their wives and
children.
Soon willing bands braved the great
danger and started the hoisting machin
ery and seventy-five miners were brought
to tne gurtacc, some ol tliem more dead
than alive. This was done none too soon as
the flames immediately reached the shaft
and came up with such force, that it
drove every body away.
The explosions have followed every few
hours since.
niiHTS FOR ROHKERV.
Heuator Hawley Want Fortifica
tion and a Navy.
Washington, Feb. 3.-Iiscussing the
fortifications bill yestcrd-.iy, Senutor
Hawley asked:
What, would the British nations care
for a square mile of such troops armed
with rifles that would not shoot over
1 ,200 yards ? He did not want io show
the nakedness of his country, but it so
happened that the whole world knew of
it already.
I he government could not negotiate
to-day with advantage, That was the
Bible truth. Great Britain on the con
trary had a magnificent harbor at Hali
fax, protected by noble batteries und a
noble fleet the, liest in the whole world.
There she could collect, gradually, the
ships of war to be sent against American
ports. She had another ereut naval sta
tion at Bermuda and another on the
northwestern const, so close to the Uni
tep States that the vessels in that har
bor could throw shot across the line.
Wars do not come after years of agree
ment in advance. They explode without
notice. But you say that Great Britain
will not fight; that she cannot go to war
with us; that we are of the same blood,
same language; that we have the sume
Shakescure, and all that sort of thing.

THE PETITION CRANTF.U.
Argument on the Il.-hrlnu;
Case to llegin.
Sea
Washington, Feb. 3. Chief Justice
Fuller has announced that the supreme I
court had decided to grant the petition
of the counsel representing the British
government for leave to tile an applica
tion for a writ ol" prohibition to prevent I
the district court of Alaska from pro
ceeding to carry out its decree of forfei
ture, made in the case of the schooner
Sayward, libelled for unlawfully taking
seals within the waters of the Ikhriiig
sea.
The court asked the counsel nt what I
date the rule requiring the Alaska court I
to conic here nnd show cause why the
writ of prohibition should not issue,
should lie made returnable.

by mutual agreement it was made re

-?This settles merely the prelim
inary question of the right to bring
the case into court, and the matter now
to be settled is to whether or not the
court will decide that the writ of prohi
bition should issue. There must now be I
arguments on the merits of the Hchring I
