DUALIN..
1T ExPLoDEs AND KILLS SIX MEN.


The Houghton, Michigan, Mining Gazette
says: On last Friday evening" about half
past seven o'clock. terrible accident oc-
CURED at the Phoenix mine, in Keweenaw
county, two miles from Eagle river, the
origin of which will probably never be
known. -Four miners and a subordinate
underground officer were preparing in an
apartment of a building on the location
occupied by the mining captain as his Office,
a quantity of dualin, to use that night in
making a "sand-blast" in the mine. The
men. were taking the dualin-1OO pounds
from its original package, and transferring it
to bag. when the explosion took place.
Besides the dualin, there were three kegs of
powder in the room. Three of the men were
handling the explosive, the fourth was hold
ing lighted candle, while the fifth man
stood looking on, when the explosion oc--
CURED. The house was shattered to atoms
and the men literally blown to pieces. Cap
tain John Hoatson, underground superin-
tendent of the mine, was in his office, an
adjoining room, at the time, seated at his
desk. and was struck by some of the flying
missiles on the left side of the head and face,
receiving such injuries that he died this
Sunday-morning.

The "Heathen Chinee" still is as gall and
wormwood to the Californians. It is repre-
sented that "John" is not his own master.
but that there are now sixty thousand
Chinese and Japanese in the Pacific states.
all OF whom are practically under the con-
troll of six large Chinese corporations. and
substantially in condition of slavery. I'm
der their contracts with these companies
some Of the Cinnamon have been Obliged to
mortgage their wives and children
10 these companies, with the right
case the contract with the company is for
feited. The Chinese laws recognize such con-
tracts. 1t is said that under the existing
law and the treaty with China, California is
lmpotent to correct these abuses. Congress-
men from the Pacific states generally adyo-
cate modification of the treaty with China.
especially as regards the section relating to-
unobstructed immigration.

Some wicked stories are told of the Duke
of Edinburg, and his awkwardness at the
marriage. 1t seems that the Duke received
the ring from his brother, but found that
the prayer-book in his hand prevented his
making the proper use oft. He offered the
book to one and then another, but all fought
shy of it, and the spectators naturally were
worked up to dread that he would either
throw it at Dean Stanley's head or quietly
slip it up his sleeve. He appears to have
adopted the latter alternative, for we are
told that she finally mastered the difficulty
and gracefully slipped. the ring on the out
tretched finger.

Shortly after he WAS admitted to his new

her to let him manage the case for her,
but she, fearful Of his inexperience, pre-
ferred looking for some older lawyer. Al

her friends she contided the matter to

and long. but she came out so trium'

hopeless snarl, that she doubled hei
counsel's modest fee The intercourse
between the two had been by letter exclu
