Terrible Mining Accident.

Ell Paso, March 6.-News has just
reached here of a terrible accident yes.
terday at Prietas mines, Sonora. On
ly the most meager details are yet
known, but it is known that twenty
lei lie buried in n of the shafts
which is said to have csved in without
a moments warning. None of the bod
les have yet been recovered, aud there
is no hope sustained that any Of the
unfortunate miners at work in the
shaft at the time of the accident may
yet be alive, as the cavern was 30 in
Simultaneous and complete as to cut off
every chance OF escape, or any kind OF
preparation on the part Of the miners
to protect themselves until they could
be dug out. The greatest excitement
prevails here, pending the receipt Of

at work in the shaft when the accident

The Tariff Question.

Washington, March 6.-The house
committee on ways and means acted
favorably OF the Morrison tariff bill.
As agreed upon, it places salt, coal and
lumber OIL the free list, with a proviso
in respect to coal to the effect that it
shall not apply to Canada until that
country places our coal on its free list.
The agreement to report the amended
bill favorably was reached by a strict
party vote-7 to 5-Morrison, Mills,
Blount, Blackburn, Herbert, Hurd and
Jones In the affirmative, and Kelly,
Kasson, Mckinley, Hiscock and Russell
in the negative. Hewitt was not pres
ent when the vote was taken, but it is
known be agrees with the majority and
would have voted in favor Of the report
had he been present. Morrison will
make a majority report on the bill Mon
day.

Reasons for Reduced Earnings.

New York, March 6.-In accounting
for the reduction in its earnings, as
compared with the preceding year, the
report Of the Union Pacific railroad
says:
business depression IN Colorado for
the greater part Of the year, together
with a division Of the Montana traffic
with the Northern Pacific railroad, and
the entire diversion from our lines
after September Is Of the passenger
business between Oregon and Washing
ton territory and the east, caused a
large loss in passenger business on the
Union Pacific division. During the
last seven months of 1888 there was a
reduction of % per cent. from the rates
previously in force on all the company's
lines in Kansas, but the local traffic,
resulting from the development Of the
country adjacent to the railroad, con
siderably exceeded the amount of this
loss, and but for the reduction in rates
in Colorado and Utah arising from the
completion of rival lines and the fail.
ure to agree upon rates, the gross earn
ings Of. the company would have been
largely in excess Of those of the yeaI
previous. The latter of these causet
has now been remedied, and with tn,
maintenance of present rates and con
tinued increase Of traffic, the gross ant
net earnings for 1884 should show yer,
favorably when compared with 1888
The results OF the years. business il
transportation of freight indicate tba'
rapid progress is being made in thu
settlement of the country and the de
velopment of the mining and industrial
isterests along the lines Of the com
pany's railways"

The British Parliament.

London, March 6.-In the house OF
commons, Harrington, secretary OF
state for the war, moved the a~ppropria-
tion of e3so, 900 to cover the cost of the
Soudan expedition.
Stanley, conservative, criticized
severely the governments Egyptian
policy.
Gladstone replied that the expedition
to Assouan involved NO change of
policy. 1t was, he said, a necessary
%precaution to prevent the excitement
from spreading. The government
would adhere to its determination, pay
no heed to remarks from foreign news
papers and had no intention of assum-
ing the government of Egypt. Such
act would be a gross breach of the
public law of Europe. [Cheers. The
troops will be withdrawn at the earliest
moment possible.
Henry Labouchere, radical, moved to
reduce the appropriation to el00, 900.
Gen. Graham was ordered to dispense
within ten miles Of Suakim, but not to
operate at a greater distance from the
city, and when those have been dis
persed it is believed the tribes will
become friendly.

FOREIGN FACTS.
Earl Granville on the Egyptian
Campaign.
News Regarding the Arctic
Expeditions.
Opening of the German
Parliament.
Imperial Views Expressed from
the Throne.
Germany Politically Considered.

Berlin, March 6.-The national lib
erals have decided not to raise d discus
sion of the Lasker incident in the reich
stag until the matter has been in~terna-
tionally disposed of. The fusion of Sc
cessionist and progressionist parties
have been effected. A new combina-
ton is to be called the German liberal
party. Its programme embraces a strict
adherance to the constitution, annual
budgets, universal suffrage, secret vot-
ing, the payment Of members of the
~reichstag, liberty of the press, public
meetings and association, equality be-
fore law, religious liberty, a perfect
equality of all creeds, economic pro-
gress, suppression Of state socialism,
Just assessment and taxation, with ex-
emption of articles of consumption. 1t
will oppose any customs
policy favoring special interests; it is
against monopolies and advocates the
unimpaired maintenance OF national
defence with universal military SER
vices Of a short period and with an
annual fixing of Il peace contingency
army. 1t further declares that pro-
gress must be based upon allegiance to
the emperor and federal constitution.
The ~reichstag opened to-day with the
usual formalities. The speech from
the throne was read by Hon. Won
Boetticher, and asserts that the chief
task Of the r~eichstag lies in the domain
Of social and political affairs and says
the emperor's wish, which has been
solemnly and repeatedly expressed for
the Improvement of the condition of
workmen has met with a full apprecia-
ton on the part Of the German people.
Among the numerous bills announced
is one providing a scheme of accident
insurance, after the adoption of which
the emperor recommends the formation
Of a system Of insurance for the in6rm
and aged. This is intended to prevent
any possible jurisdiction attempts to
overthrow the divine and human order
of things and will pave the way for the
abrogation of existing exceptional
measures.
A bill will be introduced providing
that the anti-socialist law shall remain
in force, and will propose an amend
ment Of the present system of insuran-
ce against sickness. Literary and ar
tistic works will also be submitted for
approval.
The foreign relations of Germany,
the speech declares, are In a highly sat
isfactory condition. Solidity exists be-
tween pacific and Germany and those
Of the neighboring friendly powers
which. so far as can be humanity for
seen, affords a guarantee Of security
and peace both in Germany and other
countries.

Reed, counsel for the assassin, Guiteau,
during the latter part Of his trial, was
seen in his office to-day. He said:
"Yes, I have read in the newspapers
the statement of ex-Postmaster General
James before the committee in Wash
ington, which conveys the impression
that the star route prosecutors were in
some measure the cause Of the shooting
Of President Garfield. 1 am, therefore,
willing to have published, for the first
time, some conversation which occurred
between Guiteau and myself while l
acted as his attorney"
On several occasions when alone with
Guitsau 1 asked him If he had any ac-
eomrlice or il any person knew he
thought of shooting the president. He
always answered in a most emphatic
manner, mo one but God and me knew
about it." One day before he was axe
cuted, when I,saw him for the last
time, I said to him, "Guiteau, all hope
Of saving you is gone, and you must die
tomorrow. Now 1 ask you again, had
you any accomplish or did any person
beside you know anything about your
intention to kill the president" With
arid light In his eyes, which was inn
possible of stimulation. he replied, "No;
no one but God and me knew anything
about it as 1 have often told you; that
Is the truth as 1 expect to meet my God
Tomorrow
