TRULY CALLED ABSURD.

Allegations that British Steamship
Lines Destroy American Mail Denied.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The superin.
tendent of foreign mails characterizes as
"absurd" the statement of Larin Blod.
gett, of Philadelphia, that American mails
are destroyed on English steamers, par
ticularly on South American lines in the
interest of British trade. He adds:
The mail that passes through the English
Office is placed in sealed bags and then put on
board the steamers. The American mail is
put in with the English and that from other
countries. The only way to get at it would
be to break the seals, and that would at once
lead to detection. Besides, il the mail was de-
stroyed, there would be all sorts Of complaints
made, and we have heard nothing of the sort
in this office. Besides, there is very little
American mail for South America that goes
to England. We have American Steamship
lines to Brazil and Panama, and the bulk of the
American mail goes in that way. There Is
hardly any use of answering this m after in
detail, because Mr.. Blodgett has paId Int liz
tie attention to the facts. His object. as can
see, is to speak word In favor of Xyaeriean
shipping-a very 1audable object, but in try
lpg = attain this he has not been particular

GREAT BRIrAIN's PARLIAMENT
Gladstone Rebukes the stand of the Irish
Against Lord Spencer

Against Lord spencer.
LONDON, Oct. 2S.-In the House of
Commons to-day Premier Gladstone spoke
in strong disapprobation of the Irish
members for their structures on Earl
Spencer, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. If
the charges they made could be proved
Premier Gladstone said that nothing less
than impeachment of his lordship was
necessary. The Irish members inter
rupted Mr.. Gladstone during his speech.
and he expressed his regret that they did
not conduct their operations with more
prudence and good feeling.
Lord Randolph Churchill gave notice
that he would offer an amendment to the
address in reply to the speech from the
throne censuring the President of the
Board of Trade for melting, by his
speeches, interference with the freedom
of political discussion and justlfying riot
and disorders,
the Parnellite members of the House of
Commons have resolved to vote against
the government on the franchise bill.
Mr.. Gladstone expressed the hope that
the House would refuse to grant the pro-
posed inquiry into the Maamtrasna trial,
in consequence of which the Irish party
determined to raise the Home Rule uues-
ton before the close of the debate apon
the address in reply to the speech from
the throne,
In the House of Commons tonight a
vote was taken upon the amendment to
the address to the Queen offered by Mr..
Harrington, Home Rule member. that the
administration of the laws in Ireland was
unsatisfactory, and that inquiry into the
Maamtrasna murder trial would lead to
greater cOntentment among the people
The amendment was rejected by a vote of
Il in favor to 219 against its adoption.
The feature OF the debate upon the amend
ment Was the manner with which the
ministerialist members resented the vIrl
tupeFatiens poured on Earl Spencer. Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland.

JAPAN'S TYPHOON.
Terrible Devastation and Loss of Lif
Suffered at Yokohama.

Terrible Devastation and Loss of Life
Suffered at Yokohama.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.-The steamer
Arabia, which arrived Sunday from China
and japan, brought the following addi-
tional details of the great typhoon of
sept. Is, which caused such terrible de-
struction of life and property at Yoko-
hama and Toxic:
Inc storm came up so rapidly and with
such tremendous fury that no precautions
could be taken. In Yokohama the entire
lower part of the city called "The Settle
menV' was completely wrecked. No
house was left standing. The inhabitants
made no attempt to save their property,
but fed for their lives to escape drown
ing from the rushing waters, driven upon
TIE land by the fury of the wind. News
papers make no attempt to furnish details
of the destruction in that part of the city.
They summarize by saying that as ''The
settlement was destroyed, it is useless
TO publish any details. The higher por-
tIons of the city being more exposed were
equally unfortunate. Several of the Iarg-
est and most substantial buildings were
swept away as if built of pasteboard.
In that section alone 128 houses were de-
stroyed and 800 damaged. The loss of life
on shore was less than at sea. Out of so
sailing vessels 53 were lost, with 223 per-
sons on board. Twelve vessels, with 120
persons, are also missing. OF B lifebeats
that went to the rescue Of drowning crews
were swamped, and 10 men of their
crews drowned. The typho0n was the
seVereSt experienced since 1870

YoUNGsTowNs NINE HORROR.
Eighteen of the Doomed Men Accounted
fOr-FOurteen of Them Dead.


UNIoNTowN, PA, Oct. 2s.-The worst
fears. touching the fate of the men who
were imprisoned in the coal mine at
Youngstown, four miles from this place,
by the explosion of fire damp last even
ing, have been fully confirmed. Six of the
miners were taken out soon after the dis
aster. Two of the four were so seriously
injured that there is no hope of their re-
covery. There are still from fourteen to
eighteen men who are supposed to be i'm
prisOned in the mine. The exact number
is not certainly known. The work of
reaching these men was continued indus
trlously throughout the night, and by
morning the dead bodies of twelve had
been brought out and delivered to friends
and relatives at the mouth of the pit. This
makes fourteen dead In all, and with four
who were injured accounts for eighteen
OF the whole number supposed to be in the
mine. Whether there are any more
remains yet to be discovered, but
it is believed that all have been
found. The scenes at the mouth
OF the pit as the disfigured bodies of the
dead were brought to the surface and
given into the hands OF the wives and re-
lativeswas distressing and Yiyidly recalled

families who waited at the opening of the
Lessenring mine last February for bodies
which they knew were coming lifeless to
them from the uncCmpaSsiOnate bowels
OF the earth. 1t cannot be stated whether
the explosion was due to carelessness OF
the company or not. On the heels of a
calamity like this the first impulse Of
miners usually is to attribute the same to
the company. 1t is well-knOWn, however,
that the company has always been care
ful, and the knowledge that the mine was
dangerous and predisposed to the genera
tion Of ire-damp made them
more careful. The mine was in
spected every morning whenever
the presence of fire-damp was detected
1t was Invariably ordered to deny admis-
sion to it unless the gas had been ex-
PEELED. This was one of the rules and
was enforced, but it is claimed by the
miners that the commissioner discharged
competent fire boss about two months
ago and has since placed in that capacity
one who was not competent to determine
whether the mile was safe or not.

THE SCOTT LIQUOR LAW.
A Decision of the State Supreme Court
IlacIarinc. Ii ILncnnstitntinnal

Declaring it Unconstitutional.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 2S.-The Supreme
Court, three judges affirming and two dis
senting, to-day declared the Scott liquor
liquor tax law unconstitutional. The de-
cisions on several pending cases were all
to this effect.
The majority of the court holds that the
lien clause of the Scott law is license
law and that, therefore, the whole act is
void. No opinion is expressed as to
whether the law is void as a tax or license
law. The decision, stripped of it's verb
iage, declares the entire law unconstitu-
tional and will not only do away with the
collection of the tax this year, only a
small portion of which has been paid, but
will make it necessary for all corpora
tions to pay back the amount which was
collected under the law last year, to-
gether with interest. 1t will bankrupt
nearly all the cities in the State. in
Columbus, for example, between $40,0 ,030
and 5000 were realized from the tax last
year and none of the amount has been
paid this year In consequence all the
departments are behind in the payment of
salaries two or three months. Other
cities in the State are similarly situated.
The great question with the municipal
and county authorities is how they will
secure immediate relief from the embar-
RAISING situation, the Legislature not
being in session to grant authority,

Republicans of that State More Inter

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The Republi-
can managers in Indiana are much more
interested, apparently, in the possibility
that one of them may be elected as the
successor of VOORHEES, to the United States
Senate than in the election of the Repub-
lican candidates for State and Federal
offices. They are all fighting for this
SenatOrship, Dudley and New being
i'm the lead. This is made
interesting here by the statement made
today that Blaine had given Dudley a
letter to be used in his canvass express
ing his desire that that useful official
might be elected United States Senator;
that Blaine had also given New letter of
precisely the same sort. The fact that
Voorhees, will probably succeed himself
does not relieve Blaine OF the charge OF

A CHANGE IN THE CABINET.
Gresham Made Judge and Hugh Nc
CulIOch Made Secretary.

CullOch Made Secretary.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-President Ar
thur to-day appointed ex-Secretary Hugh
McCulloch to be Secretary of the Treasu-
ry, and Secretary Walter @. Gresham to
be Circuit Judge of the Seventh Circuit,
to succeed Judge Thomas Drummond, re-
signed. The appointment of Secretary
McCulloch will take effect tomorrow, and
Judge Gresham Will leave Washington to-
morrow for Indiana.
Mr.. McCullOch is now IN Washington
and accepted the Office after a conference
with the President to-day at the Execu-
tive Mansion. He is about 70 years old,
but still man of active habits and vigor-
Gus health. He was born in Kennebec,
Maine. In 1857 he was elected President
Of the State Bank, in which position he
continued until 1863, when President Lin
coin appointed him Comptroller of the
Currency. After thoroughly organizing
and putting his bureau in successful
operation he was appointed Secre-
tary of the Treasury by President
Lincoln on March Z, 1865, and held
that office throughout President john
sons administration until succeeded
by Secretary Boutwell, under President
Grant March IL, 1869. Mir. McCulloch
then established in London the banking
which he continued until the suspension
of the American firm of Jay Cooke & Co.
in 1873, when the London. house reOr-
ganiZed under the name of McCullOch e.
Co. A year afterwards he returned to
the United States and since then, although
participating in several large financial
enterprises, has not been engaged in
active business. His winters have been
spent in Washington, and during the rest
of the year he has lived on his farm about
six miles north of this city in Maryland
ECULLoCH A REVENUE REFORMER.
Secretary McCulloch will at once begin
the preparation of the annual report of
the Secretary of the Treasury to Congress.
His probable recommendation OH the sub
ject of tax reduction may be fairly in
ferred from the following extracts from
his last annual report as Secretary of the
Treasury under Johnson, dated December
1860. After recommending an increase
in internal taxes, and urging the necessity
for a speedy revision of the tariff, he said: :
''There will be in the future, as there
have been in the past, widely different
opinions upon this long-yeXed and very
important subject, but the indications
are decidedly that the more enlightened
sentiment of the country demands that
the tariff shall hereafter be a tariff for re-
venue and not for protection, and that
the revenues to be derived from it shall
be no larger than, in connection with
those received from other sources, will be
required for the economical administra-
tiOn of the government, the maintenance
of the public faith, and the gradual eX-
tinguisnment of the public debt. While
the country is not at present, and may
not be for many years to come, prepared
for the abrOgation of all restrictions upon
foreign commerce, it is unquestionably
prepared for a revenue TARIFF

LOST POSTAL MATTER.
Chief Inspector Sharpe Makes a Report
On the Years Misfortumes.


On the Years Misfortumes.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Chief Inspee-
tor Sharpe, of the Post Office Department,
in his annual report, after referring to
the number of arrests and convictions
during the year, says:
The inspectors received for examination
54,OlO cases during the year. The registered
cases numbered 4.23S, and the investigation of
250l OF these cases resulted as follows: 305 of
943 letters OF value with contents stated were
found to have been delivered or satisfactorily
accounted for, and G22 letters where the
value was not given. Two hundred and
twenty complaints of lost packages
were found to have been incor-
rectly made. Ore hundred and ninety of the
packages lost from registered package en-
velopes were found to have reached their adj
dresses in safety. OF the complaints of rfling
255 were shown to have been falsely made.
The Chief Inspector says that this class of
complaints seem to be d growing one. Par
ties either purposey or otherwise omit to
celved without 1t, although in perfect condI-
tiOn, they stoptly persist in claiming that
the enclosures were made. On the other hand
parties addressed, frequently from motives of
their own, deny the receipt of the enclosures.
This state of facts makes this class of COM
plant ffcult to investigate.
The office received 4,217 inquiries rela-
tive to foreign registered letters, making
total of $3.50 complaints concerning
registered mail received during the year.
or the complaints investigated the actual
loss was found TO have occurred in SIG
cases. Says the Chief Inspector:
Assuming the proportion of loss to be ae
great as in the complaints still undergoing in =
vestigatiOn as those investigated, we may
state the total loss occurring during the fiscal
year in registered mail as approximately 672
pieces. Comparing this with the total num-
Der of pieces registered, ll,2t6,545, the prOpOr-
tion of loss will be seen to be very small
would aid that the losses were from all
causes, as burning and robberies and other
unavoidable casualties.
The amount of money recovered and re-
turned to owners in 772 registered cases was
$H,932. Complaints were received of the loss
of 20,277 ordinary letters, of which 4,64l were
said to have contained enclosures, and 1928
ordinary packets of the fourth class were re-
ported as lost; upon investigation 1909 letters
and ,lOl PACK cts were found to have eVentu-
ally reached their destination or were other
wise satisfactorily accounted for. Four hun
dred and siXty-seven post offices were robbed
and 27S destroyed by fire; % highway rob-
