The conl miners of the Allegany region have
received another rebuff. The president of the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal gives notice that
the cana! will not be open for the trausporta-
ton Of coal until the existing strike at the
mines is settled, aud the Cumberland News
says the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has con
cluded to adopt the same policy until miners
agree to go to work at reduced wages. If this
is not done within a reasonable time men will
be brought from abroad for the purpose, being
estimated that 10 600 miners can be readily
procured at forty cents per ton.

ALLEGED GERMAN DEMANDS ON FRANCE. -
Fresh trouble seems to be brewing between
Germany and France. The London StaL dard
is Informed by its Paris correspondent that The
German government has intimated TO France
that il regards the erection of the new line of
fortresses along the frontier between France
and Germany as a hostile step Ii is assumed
by the writer that France has as good a right
TO fortify Arras, Verdun, Resaneon and other
places near the border line of The two countries
as Germany has to increase the Notifications of
Mayence, Strarbourg and Metz, and to fortify
the Vosges--all of which works are in prov
inces lately taken from the French So far as
the new works at Arras are concerned the wri-
ter understands that the demands Of Germany
will be complied with, hut if those demands
are pushed to include the other forlresses il is
thought that France in, sef-detence will
rather 80 to war again Than make the conces-
sions.

The thrilling narrative of the fatal panic in
ST. Aavier's church. New York city, on the
9th instant, in which seven women and chill
dren we're crushed or frightened to death, are
TO the effect that the officiating priest was
preaching on "Hel, )" the effect of which was
to greatly excite the congregation of women
and cause one TO have hysieric fits. cry Of
fire followed, and a narrow tortuous staircase
from the galleries, with a blockade from the
struggling crowd at one of the square angles
completed the work already begun. Women
were thrown down and trampled upon, and
the wonder Is that more were not killed The
lessons are breilr these: If there had been no
revival excitement there would have been no
hyserical women and no panic II there had
been easy means Of exit, the panic-slricken as
sembly might have cleared the church in safety,
except from the effect Of fright.

A FIGHT AT THE CAPITOL Last evening
an alteration took place in the private office
of the chief engineer of the house Of Repre-
sentatives, between George G. Ellison, the
engineer, and David Small formerly eIectri-
clan at the Capitol during which Small called
Ellison pretty hard name, and at the same
time menaced him, when Ellison struck Small
over his head with heavy cane, laying the
scalp open on the top of the head, making
an ugly wound. Small was conveyed to a
room, and Dr. Ford sent for, and after sew
ing up the cut the injured man was sent to his
home Ellison subsequently went before JUS
tice Weaver and swore out peace warrant
against Small charging him with threats
against bis life. Both parties were in the
Police Court this morning, Small in the dock
After hearing, the court dismissed the case
of threats, remarkng that il looked as if the
prosecutor should have been Small instead of
Ellison. No further papers appeared before
the court, but there may yet be a case Of assault
and battery grow out Of it.-Stdr, 8tA inst.

In our last issue we mentioned the gentle
men named for cabinet positions and sent to
the Senate by the President for confirmation,
since then, after II tolerably lively row in the
Senate, they have been confirmed. Follow
ing is a very succinct sketch Of each ones po-
litical career:
William NJ Eyarts, Secretary of State,
is one The ablest lawyers we have; there
is no doubt that he viii, in the admins
traton of the affairs of the State Department,
give pretty general satisfaction. When arti-
cles of impeachment were presented against
Andrew Johnson, Evarts was Of the counsel,
and was rewarded by johnson with q cabinet
position. After arguing Hayes case before
the electoral commission he is now rendered
portfolio in the cabinet of the latter Ire was
born in Boston, FEB. 6, 1918, graduated AT
Yale College, 1887
John Sherman, Treasurer, has represented
the State of Ohio in the Senate since 1861
Outside OF his own personal friends and
associates, Mr. Shermans elevation to the
treasury gives general dissatisfaction.
Geo. W. McCrsry, Of the War Department,
was born at Evansville, Indiana, in 1885
He served in the State Legislature of Indiana
has been several times elected 10 Congress
was Chairman Of the Committee of Elections,
and altogether has an excellent record.
Carl Schurz, Of the Interior Department,
and who has borne so prominent part in
American politics, was born near Cologne,
Prussia, March 2, 1926. He came to this
country in 1862, and began his political career
soon after by taking an active part in the
aati-slsvery movement He was appointed by
Lincoln minister to Spain, but be returned in
1861 10 enter the army He was at one time
CONNECTED with the New York Tribune, and also
editor Of German newspaper published IN
st. Louis. He was elected U S. Senator from
Missouri in 1866. He opposed Grants ad
minisiralion, taking prominent part in the
liberal movement, and presided over the con-
yention In Cincinnati which nominated Horace
Greeley for the presidency. During the recent
campaign he labored zcalously for Hayes.
R.W. Thompson, Secretary OF the Navy, was
born in Virginia, Cupeper county, in 1909,
but in early lite left that State, and now halls
from Indiana. lie is considered a very able
man, and likely TO give general satisfaction in
presiding over the Navy Department
d. N. Key, Postmaster General, was born
in Green county, Tennessee, in 1924 In 1861
No joined the Confederate army, entering the
service as Lieut.. Colonel Of the ADD Tennessee
Regiment. He served through the war, and
surrendered 10 North Carolina, under Joe
Johnston. He was appointed in 1875 by
Governor Porter 10 fill the unoxpired term Of
Andrew Johnson ia the Senate of the United
States. He has the confluence OF beth Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in Tennessee and else

Charles Devens, Attorney General was
born in Massachusetts, in 1920 served in the
Union army, and was elevated TO the rank of
Brgader General. Gen. Devens represents
