 BOSTON, Jan. 22.-The forty-fith annua meeting and reunion of the Alpha Delta Phi society was held at Youngs Hotel this even ing. The collegiates began to assemble at the hotel at 6 p. m. and at about one hundred sat down to dinner. The chief guest of the evening was General Joshua L.

Phillips Brooks and Edward Everett Hale of Harvard Chapter. A letter was read from General William Coates of New York, expressive of his regrets that he could not be present. The president, General Chamber lain, made speech, and in alluding to the Maine question he said: sI could not have believed, knowing the men of that State so many years, and being situated to know them favorably and thoroughly as supposed, though had seen their brothers and sons fighting in a noble cause on the fields of of our late war, I yet confess I was wholly ignorant of what there was remaining in the minds of the people of Maine-I do not know but may say in the minds of the unregenerate, that spirit that is ready to strike blow al- most without waiting for an argument This conflict of ours in Maine has 8 significance that reaches beyond this month and that State.

The COIliery Dlsaster---Heartrend
 Scenes at the Pit-Dead and Dying
 Victims.
 LONDON, Jan. 22.-The latest accounts from the colliery explosion at Newcastle fix the number in the pit at 77. It is believed not more than six of the rescued can recover. Fifty corpses were brought up, the majority unrecognizable. The few rescued alive are dying rapidly. The scene at the mouth of the pit is hsartrending. One of the recov- cred corpses had lost part of the head. Some others were burned to cinders, while some appear to have been killed by conous- sion- Gangs of volunteers are descending frequently. The part of the Lycett colliery where the explosion occurred is known as the Fair Lady Pit, and is the same in which six men were killed last autumn. The coal be- longs to the Banbury or Fiery Seam, in which all the great Staffordshire explosions have oc- cured. Fire has been raging with great vio- lence in the pit but has been subdued and a large amount of debris has been removed en- abling the explorers to proceed rapidly. The latest report places the total number of deaths at seventy. Another explosion is feared.

Woman Suffragists Demanding to be
 Appointed Census EnumeratOrs.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Woman suf- frage Convention was very largely attended this morning, number of Congressman be- ing interested spectators. A platform was adopted, being only briefly debated The matter of most interest discussed was the res olution that one-half of the census enumera, tors and takers should be women. This was supported vigorously by Lillie Devereaux Blake of New York, Mrs. Stewart of Della ware and others, who took the ground that women could take the census just as easily as they now pursue the duties of book, insurance and sewing machine agents. and also they could more conveniently enter the homes of women without creating such embarrassment as would be caused by men.

Everything was destroyed in the way of small crops and movables of all sorts. Cattle, goats and horses were gone. The cocoa farmers visited the haciendas in boats trying to gather the crop which was left on the trees. They had to go armed in order to protect themselves against the immense snakes which had gathered in the branches and which had been driven down the valley by the waters. The loss is estimated at $1,- 900, ,OOO.

WASHINGTON Jan %

WASHINGTON, Jan. p.
 SKNATE.-The morning hour having ex- pired, ,the Senate resumed tine consideration of MT. Bayard's joint resolution relative to Uni ted States notes. MT. Coke proceeded to speak on the resolution. He said that for more than twenty years the Treasury notes had been almost the only currency in the country, and nobody had raised question of their constitutionality until recently. He con tended that constitutional objections might as well be raised against the abolition of slavery and the division of Virginia into two States as against the issue of greenbacks. He pro- ceeded to speak at considerable length of the demonstration of silver in England and Ger many, contending that in both of these coun- tries the change had been followed by severe depression, and that there was tendency to restore silver currency. The experience of Europe ought to make Congress hesitate be- fore following similar course from which similar result would be sure to follow.
 At the close of MT. Ooke's speech the Sem ate went into executive session and then ad- journ ed until Monday.
