Tho Prices Of l.iViuC.

The laboring part of the people espe'
cially have reasons for congratula,ion.
that breadstufs are on the decline in
prices. With the small wages many were
getting during the past winter it was
with considerable difficulty that ends
could BE- made to meet, and the prospect
of still further rise was no pleasant
reflection. The light wheat crop of last
year began away in midsummer to Of
feet the price OF -four, and then came
the long drought to parch the pastures
and prevent the proper growth of the
fruit and root crops. With the advent
Of cold weather the prudent house.
keeper found that the rise in the price
Of provisions had reached nearly
twenty-five per cent greater than at
the same time year before. Some
articles had gone up over 100 per cent. ;
Others only ten. Potatoes which a
year before sold from Sl.2J to 81. 80 per
barrel, brought 81 to $780, and would
have gone still higher had it not been
for the Importation of potatoes from
Canada and ireland, and cabbage from
Holland, where the crops had not been
effected by the excessive drought, and
which the absurd tariff of fifteen cents
bushel for potatoes did not prevent
them from being brought here at lib
eral margin of profit. There are some
cases where tariff is a little too dis
eliminating against our own people,
and this is one of them. Good apples
which brought only g. per barrel tif-
teen months ago, year afterwards
brought from 81 to s.. The prices of
meat showed an advance OF fully Il to
10 per cent, and would have still been
higher were it not that the low transit
rates on live stock brought the beeves
of Illinois, Iowa and Kansas and even
Texas into competition with those raised
on the pasture lands of New York,
Pennsylvania and Delaware. Flour
went up about dollar a barrel, butter
and cheese about twenty five per cent.
and eggs nearly so per cent. above the
usual fall prices. But as usual the
wages of the laboring classes, the most
effected by the high prices of living.
did not advance and the increase of
cost fell heavily upon them.
But now the tide seems to have set in
the opposite direction, and flour has
commenced in earnest the descending
scale. Other things must follow in pre-.
portion, and the laboring classes in
proportion have double reason to rejoice
that their scanty means will reach
farther, and that there is every indica-
ton that the severity of the winter is
past and spring, gentle spring, is already
beaming upon U.s. The problem of
living on small incomes with high
prices for provisions, and with a toler-
able degree Of comfort is a pulling
problem at all times, for people of
narrow means, but it is nevertheless
true that if American families would
practice the French and German stand
ard Of living they would escape the
charge CTR waste fulness and extrava-
gance. Greater economy in buying
and greater care to avoid the waste of
food in the kitchen and the .arder vii.
go far toward compensating for he in
creased cost of provisions.

IRELAND.

LIMERICK, Feb. 4.-Clfford Lloyd, special
magistrate for the counties of Limerick and
Clare, being asked if there was any truth in
the report that vessel recently landed in
Shannon with arms, said: "What if there
were? 1t would be of no consequence. You
know money is collected for this purpose from
Irish maid servants and laborers in America.
Well, Isuppose just to make Fenian sympa'
thizers there believe they are doing some
thing with the money they send over some old
rusty Enfield rifles not worth three or four
pence apiece, and then some blackguard here
wretched old things for el0. To this propo-
sition I answer that they are not worth .e10,
and even if they were would not pay the
money. What does it matter? Let them use
them if they dare"
RENT RELIEVED.
The sub-commissioners under the land act
sitting at Belfast yesterday granted reduction
in rent, averaging respectively 1910 per cent
on two estates managed by Blggler.

Exploring the Shaft Where Thirty-Two
Doomed Men are Buried-Heart-rendin
| Appeals of the Wives and Children.
New YORK, Feb. "A special to the
Post from Coalield, Va, says: The Grove
shaft, the scene Of the horrible explosion
yesterday, is surrounded with women and
children. Despite the fact that the
ground is covered with snow and falling
rapidly, hundreds are about the mouth Of
the shaft. The appeals of wives and
mothers for assistance in getting to their
husbands are heartrending.
RICHMOND, Va, Feb. "A telegram from
the coal field in relation to the mine disaster at
Midlothian, says: Superintendent DOdds and
| two others went down into the shaft about
noon, but returned before reaching the bot
tom. They found Indications OF fire. An
other party went down in the afternoon to re-
pair the brettice and restore ventilation, which
was cut off by the brettice being burned in
by the force of the explosion. This
party remained below until O'Clock, when
they come up and reported tnere
was slight prospect of reaching that portion
of the mine where the men were entombed to-
night. The miners are still at work, how
ever, and ventilation at 8 p. m. had been re-
stored to the bottom OF the shaft. This dis.
aster has left twenty-seven widows and 1903
orphan children. A subscription has been
started in this city for the benefit OF the
stricken.
RICHMOND. Va. Feb. 4.-The latest intelli-
gence from the Mid Lothian mine disaster is
that the miners at work clearing the shaft dis
covered one body, but the air was SO foul that
they were forced to suspend operations and
come out. It is not probable that anything
more will be done to- night.

sent. Resolutions denouncing the treatment

the crowds pressing for admission. All unite
in praise of the conduct ofthe referee, Ron.

impartial and defended Slosson against The

the close of the game Vignaux asked Slosson

TIE JEANNETTE SURVIVORS.

Applications to Join in the Search-Lieut
Davenhauer Ordered Home = Dispatch
from Bennett to Secretary Hunt.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.--Nsarly one hundred
navy officers made application by letter or tel
egraph, or by help of influential friends, to the
secretary of the navy, to be ordered to 60 In
search OF De Long and the missing boats Of
the Jeanette. Many applicants are officers
on easy duty or on leave, and general zeal to
90 to the rescue of the Jeanette g crew is
highly creditable to the spirit of the navy.
The secretary of the navy received the follow
ing cablehispatch from James Gordon Bennett
who is in Paris:
Permit me to suggest, in reference to the
request of 1t. Davenhouer to 60 back and con-
tinue the search, that in view of his condition
he should be ordered home. If he returns to
the north there is strong possibility of his
losing his eyesight entirely, but on his way
home he would have the best medical atten-
ton and regain the use of both of his eyes,,
Nor does it seem to me necessary to send line
officers from America. 1t would only put the
government to unnecessary expense, as have
already sent man who is now
on his way to Irkoutsk and Siberia off
having kindly placed his steamer, the Lent,
at my disposal. The search for belong and
Chip, with the assistance of the Russian au-
thorities and natives, will be continued with
irrepressible energy and efficiency at the earli-
est practicable moment. If Davehhauer and
the invalids under his chrrge are ordered home
will see that they have all possible care and
the best medical advice on the way. / make
this suggestion entirely without Dauenhauer's
knowledge.
(Signed), JAMES GORDON BENNETT"
The secretary of the navy cabled Bennett in
reply that he has sent orders for the return
home of Lieut.. Dawenhauer, in accordance
with Benefits suggestion, and that he has
already sent officers to Europe to take up the
search for Capt. De Long and Chipp, and
thinks this necessary in case of accident to
Engineer Melville, and matter of duty from
the navy to officers and men in distress.
ORDERED HOME.
Secretary Hunt to-day telegraphed Lieut..
Davenhauer, at Irkutsk, Russia, as follows:
sowing to the condition of your health, the
order to remain and search for survivors oil
the Jeanette is revoked. Return home,
bringing invalids with you.
SAILED.

Through a Bridge.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. A span of the
Mayos bridge across the James river gave
way this afternoon, precipitating the
Manchester stage filled with passengers
into the river. Several we're hurt, but
none fatally All were rescued by boats
from the shore.
RICHMOND, Va, Feb. As the stage was
crossing the bridge, coming to Richmond, the
second span of the bridge suddenly gave way,
carrying with it the stage and its load of
eight passengers. The whole span, seventy
five feet in length, broke away from two gran
tie pillars upon which it rested, as clearly as
if each end had been sawed through and sank
with a crash to the rocky bed of the river be-
meath, distance of nearly thirty feet. Fortu-
nately the falling span did not tilt and the stage
remained upon it in an upright position until
the bottom was reached, when the stage was
overturned and the horses thrown in the water
and became entangled in the iron work of the
bridge, their exertions dragging the stage
into the river. The malls passengers succeeded
In getting out through the broken side of the
stage On to the bridge span, which remained
! in between the pillars. having struck on the
rocky bottom of the river. 1t became fixed
and then they drew the females out, and all
remained on the half-submerged debris until
rescued.
