A number OF English coal mines are
being worked under the ocean. In
Northumbe berland the net available quan-
tity of coal under the sea is estimated
at 403, 900, 900 tons, and on the Durham
coast under the sea, including breadth
of three and a half miles, with an area
of seventy-one square miles, 734, 500, ,OOC
tons. The latter mine is In vein Of an
aggree ate thickness of thirty feet, dis
tributed in six seams. Engineers are
considering how it can be worked sue
cessfully in the future.
1t is some consolation to know that
the prophets of disaster to our steady
going old planet do not agree among
themselves. Two Of them have de-
duced from the Bible the conclusion
that things will 20 on as they are til
1887. Then people must look out for a
tremendous catacIysm; the Star of
Bethlehem will reappear, and moral,
physical and mundance convulsions will
follow. Others, however, equally en-
titled to credence also, have set the date
of the event as November 10, 1881.
It gives one vivid idea Of the meal
culable loss to the country in material
wealth from the wanton or accidental
destruction of our forests that the dam
age from forest fires in but three States,
New York, Michigan and Wisconsin,
and in but single year, 1871, is estima-
ted at the enormous sum of 1915, 600, 600.
As consequence of similar destruction
settlers in Minnesota have been COM
PEELED this winter to burn their fnrni~
ture, farm implements, OuthOuses and
even the doors of their DWELLINGS to
keep from freezing. Others have paid
from SIT to $50 cord for firewoOd. No
wonder the Minnesota Foresters' asso-
citation is pressing so energetically the
need of renewing their woodlands.
Murder according to the San Ber-
nardino Times, "still stalks red-handed
through the Pacific coast" The record
of violent deaths for single week is
given as q sample: At Cucamonga " a
man undertook to shoot another; his
hand was struck up, the pistol dis
charged, and q young man entirely in
nOcent of the row now lies at the point
of death; at Ell Monte, Hunt, who is
known to have murdered one or more
men in Utah and others In Arizona and
was allowed to elude the law, butchered
one of the best citizens of Los Angeles,
and came within q hairs breadth
of killing citizen of the Monte
at the same time; in Reno, on
the seventeenth, man shot another
over game of cards; at Bodie the
people arose in their INDIGNATION and
lynched murderer who had been ar
rnztp1 and u1lnUnd IN ncanri cf Con-
Diego, day or two since, u saloon
keeper shot two men in self-defense,
and they are now in dying condition. .
The Times says this record is repeated
week after week, and thinks it about
time that jurors should begin to convict
and that sevcre penalty
should be imposed upon carrying a
deadly weapon of any kind.

England's Foreign Wars-Peace in the From Candahar.
 LONDON March 24.-In the House of Com mons to-day MT. Gladstone announced in answer to question that Sir Evelyn Wood remained in command of the troops at Natal and that in view of the conclusion of peace with the Boers, General Roberts had been in- structed to return to England immediately.
 The greater portion of all the troops sent out to South Africa recently will also return at once. The announcement in regard to Sir Evelyn Wood was received with cheers. In the House of Commons tonight Hon.
 Edward Stanhope member from Lincoln and son of the Earl of Stanhope, moved res oIution to the effect that the withdrawal of the British forces from Candahar was not conducive to the true interests of India. He supported his resolution in an energetic and able speech, in which he maintained that the withdrawal of the troops could only be re- lparded as retreat in the face of the Russian enemy Russia, he contended, was the .t0'as ct 09iq0 of all the trouble which England had encountered in Afghanistan, and it was through Russian influence and intrigue that the late war had been brought about. It was clearly the duty of England, said MT. Stan hope, to retain what had been acquired at such cost of blood and money. By retreat ing now the Indian frontier would again be exposed and the late war would have been fought over again at no distant period De-
 bate on MT. Stanhope's motion is now in progress.

He arrived in Rolla about month ago from Kansas, ostensibly looking for 1oca- ton to open saloon, taking up his lodg- ing in a boarding house near the National bank of Rolla. His suspicious conduct attracted the attention, of the officer Of the bank, who called to their aid Hank Deyins, the city marshal It was discovered that the burglar had gained access to va- cant building adjoining the bank, and for three nights had been at work digging 8 tun- nel to the vault. On the fourth night, just as he had made an entrance to the vault, Marshal Devins and his posse, at 8 signal given by the cashier, who was secreted in the bank, surrounded the building and attempted his capture alive; but Ebert, who preferred death to arrest, with dagger in his hand, made desperate effort to escape, and was shot down in his tracks. He lived one hour after being shot, but would reveal nothing The only words he uttered were: You've got me, boys.". The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of justifable homicide.

Filibustering Senators-The Democrats Resist an Election of Omcers-Chal- 1enge to a Contest of Physical Endu- rance-sharp Tilts Between Senators The Extra Session Still Undee1ded-The Electric Exhibition at Paris.
 WAsH1NGToN, March 24.-The vote to ad- journ in the Senate this afternoon caused considerable surprise and was only occasion ed by the neglect of Mir. Mitchell to vote Whether this was intentional or not does not appear, but the Republicans allow it to be understood that it was accidental. Both sides adhere to the positions declared by them dur ing to-days session and no compromise is expected tomorrow The Democrats claim the right to prevent a vote on the pending resolution but the Republicans hope to out last them. It is hardly possible vote will be reached tomorrow, and it is not improb- able that the Republicans will consent to ad- iourn over to Monday if they find the opposi- ton unwavering.
 The impression that an extra session will not be called is undoubtedly gaining ground, but still there are many who pretend to know that one will be certainly called. All doubts are expected to be dispelled by the Cabinet meeting tomorrow.

the Republicans should be met by endurance that might extend until June and could en- dure until next December. Upon this declar- ation the Senate settled down for siege of f1ibustering. MT. Hoar stated that he con- sidered the declaration from the Democracy to f1ibuster until next December, if neces- sary as containing the very clements of rev olution and treason. s MT. Brown asked Mr. Hoar to draw the line at which flibustering becomes revolu- tion and treason. MT. Hoar said he consid- cred fhbustering means of gaining a little time, and treason an expression of a deter imitation to prevent constitutional legislation of the Senate.
 Mir. Brown said the action of the Republi- cans in the Forty-sixth Congress was far more reasonable than anything now pro- posed. He considered that the Republicans physical endurance and the challenge had been accepted. He could see nothing of revolution or treason in that.
 MT. Logan admitted the physical power of the minority to control the Senate, but denied the constitutional justification of such action. He characterized the Senator from Georgia as an artful dodger supreme, who had learned more of adroitness than of pro- found reason. There was no escape for Dem ocratic Senators from the charge of revolu-
 ion and treason if they persisted in ob- structing the business of the Senate in viola ton of their oaths.
 MT. Farley, at 3:45 D. nl., offered resolu- ton for the appointment of two Senators as @ committee to wait on the President and in form him that if he had no further commu> nication to present to the Senate they were ready to adjourn without date. The Chair ruled the motion out of order.
 MT. Morgan then moved that the Senate go into executive session. The vote stood ayes 2S, noes 28, and the motion was declared lost A motion from Mr. Pendleton to ad- journ, made at 4 p. m., was carried by 28 to

K alIoch Diseharged-A Unanimous Ver-
 dict Of AcquittaI-Remarlkabl Scenes After the Court-Wild Enthusfasm ol
 the Populace.
 SAN FRANCISCO, March 24.-The jury in the Kafloch case came into court at o'clock this afternoon with verdict of acquittal Immense applause was given by the throng in the court room and by the vast crowd in the street.
 When the Kalloch jury returned to the court the following proceedings took place, as described in the Bulletin extra: The clerk-Gentleman of the jury, listen to your verdict, (reading). We, the jury in the case of the people of the State of California vs. J. M. Kalloch, do find upon the plea of the former acquittal. Second, we find the de- fendant not guilty. The defendant sprang to his feet and was at once surrounded by a group of friends who shook him vigorously by the hand The court thanked the Jury, after which Mir. leighton asked that the de- fendant be discharged. The court so order ed. The news of the acquittal spread like wildfre, and on it's reception in the packed corridor below a mighty yell rose up. Men shook each other by the hand and hustled each other about and as the crowd poured into the street the verdict was warmly received. On the first ballot the jury stood eight for acquittal and four for conviction. There was no change in this until shortly before the court con vened this afternoon, when the four for con- viction came over. One juror stated that the ground on which an acquittal was found was self defence and not insanity. An eye witness reports that when the carriage con- taining young Kalloch was seen it was sur rounded by a crowd which rapidly became denser. The feeling manifested was intense delight. Each individual seemed to make it a personal matter and crowded toward the windows of the carriage to catch glimpse of the victor iu the long struggle and to clasp his hand with words of comfort. Then a low, deep murmur arose. 'Take of the horses" Let us pull him home, ]" 'tCatch hold then," and similar cries were heard. By this time the streets and sidewalks were packed full of scarcely breathing humanity surged by one impulse, and grapplng the carriage it swung forward by little jerks and starts, pausing as Kalloch recognized one and another of his friends and waved his hands to them. As simple and spontaneous ex- pre- ssion of'approval of the jurors. verdict the sudden assemblage deserves comment. One passing through the crowd heard no criticism nor objection to the ovation, but simply &C., quiescence in the whole affair.
 The above is the impression of the CAr'on- ic1e and is not the feeling of the business community, where murmurs of discontent are heard and frequent exprs ssions that no mans lifa is safe

Further Arrests-An Aceomplice of Hart
 mann in Custody.
 ST. PETERSBURG, March 24.-Arrests of persons suspected of compicity in the plot for the assassination of the late Czar stil continue to be made. To-day an arrest which is said to be of highly important character was made. A woman who has been in St. Petersburg for some time, and who during the past few days has been un- der constant surveillance by the police, was taken into custody. She is believed to have been an accomplice in the attempt made by Hartmann upon the Emperor's life, and to have been also party to the last conspiracy. It is also reported that Hartmann himself was in St. Petersburg with this woman when the Czar was slain. The state of public mind here is still sadly unsettled and timorous, and the air is full of rumors of future difficulties.
 The trial of the prisoners connected with the assassination of the Czar has been post poned. Pending further examination fur ther arrests have been made of leaders, in- cluding Sophie Pickoffesky, daughter of 8 counsellor in the ministry of domains.

FORTY SEVENTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON. March 24.

WASHINGTON. March 24. SENATE.-Mr Dawes, of Massachusetts,, called up the resolution for the election, of
 Senate officers. MT. Davis, of Illinois, rose
 in defence of his vote on the Democratic
 side in the organization of the Senate, claim ing that 90 per cent. of the votes cast for him as Senator in the Legislature of Illinois
 were from Democrats without pledges, con ditions or correspondence of any kind what ever. Continuing, he said: Having accept ed this generous trust, under these circum- stances, good faith required me to sustain the organization of the Senate as it existed in the last Congress. No principle was in- volved, but merely the control of committees and of officers. have voted steadily against change, and I shall continue in that way until the end is reached, being answerable only to my own conscience and to my constituents for this act What my friend, the distinguished Senator from New York, properly calls "a constitu- tional majority" was disclosed when the Vice President, not member of this body,
 gave the casting voice for the committees However feeting or fractional that majority may be, we are commanded to accept it and obey it. The majority that chose the com mittees is fairly entitled to choose the officers of the Senate. One naturally goes with the other in order to perfect the organization. This conclusion will neither be delayed nor obstructed by any vote of mine, and it cannot be reacheb too soon for the public interest. I do not regret at all that the new adminis- tration, which has to confront the country in it's policy, should have control of both branches of Congress. The responsibility for measures to be proposed cannot be avoid ed, with the power to initiate all legislation. The majority is not large enough to indulge l in rash experiments, and the minority is sufficiently strong to check any tendency to excess. Between these two clements the
 great voice of independent opinion can al- ways be heard with effect, and the country
 has every prospect of peace and prosperity. The discussion between Messrs. Logan and Brown assumed the character of . compari-
 son of personal political changes and aford- ed considerable amusement. Mir. Brown's idea was to show that the motion to elect new Senate officers was not in accordance with Republican civil service reform. : At 2:15 p. m. MT. Cameron, of Pennsylva- mia, arose and desired it understood that the Republicans had good officers to propose as were now in and that they intended to put them in. It had come down to question of endurance and ssmight as well be tested now as any time.
 MT. Brown accepted the situation and said
