Berlin, February 2l.-The North
German Gazette, Bismarck's organ,
repels the attacks Of the newspapers on
the decree OF Bismarck relative to
Lasker and the rest. 1t says they do
not express the slightest indignation at
the attempt OF a foreign body to inter-
fere in the internal affairs of Germany.
The request addressed TO Bismarck by
Minister Sargent was of such a remark
able character that It could only be
explained by his ignorance OF diplo-
matte usage. 1t amounted to nothing
less than asking the emperor to endorse
the vote Of the foreign body and hand
it to the reichstag for Bismarck's
duty Is simply to execute the CON-
mands Of the emperor. Bismarck is not
in the employ Of the international de-
mocracy by the German emperor In the
same way that the American congress
had attempted to cause %glorihcatiun
upon the late leader OF the secessionists
by the emperor. SO could any foreign
progressist body seek to give a vote Of
confidence in Herr Richter or a socialist
body q similar vote Ia Herr Bebeel.
The National Gazette says that
Bismarck's decree is deprived of ali
the sting for congress and the Ameri.
can people because tho whole affair il
made entirely a matter of the German
internal policy.
The Berliner Tageblatt says the reso
luton to the American congress which
Bismarck Is unwilling to impart to th,
r~sichstag was long ago conveyed t.
the whole nation through the press
Indeed the publication of the resolution
In the official Gazette" shows tina
Bismarck himself had arranged to Civ
the German people what he refused t,
transmit to the reicbstag namely tn
demonstration Of respect to Her
Llsker by the people upon the othe
side of the ocean.

BELKNAP, Idaho, February Is, 1884
To the editor OF the LEADKR,
Nc doubt you may or will have many
inquiries In that quarter about the
C9ur d'Alene mines. l arrived at this
place on the Northern Pacific train
from Bozeman this morning, and
started out on a sled over the trail,
upon which w~orkingmen are now en-
gagged. 1 went twelve miles. The
road Is now six miles beyond here and
1t is expected that 1t will reach Eagle
City in ten days. o. Ii. Henry, form
erly superintendent Of the Colorado
Central, has the contract to cut the
road through. which, by the way, Is q
dense forest OF timber, and snow about
three feet deep. The trail, as far as
they have now gone, Is the best 1 ever
saw. Mr.. Henry is under twenty
thousand dollar bonds to complete the
road to Eagle City by the 25th instant,
and no doubt he will do 1t. He has
only eight miles further to make. Bel
KNAPP, without a doubt, will be the
main starting point. Other routes are
named, but this Is the shortest and
most practicable. 1t 1t astonishing to
see how fast the workmen are getting
along clearing of the timber from the
town site. Buildings are being erected
as fast as. Lumber can be laid down. A
great many people are now going In on
foot, but it is better to wait until the
road is completed from this point. 1
will write soon again and post you as
10 the mines when ia there myself,
within the next ten days, on my return
from Portland. TELEPnoNE.

The Lasker Resolution.

Chicago, February 2l.-The Inter.
O;s ans Washington special says that
Curtin, chairman of the house commit.
tee on foreign affairs, called on the sec,
rotary of state to-day to ascertain wha,
he could do about the return Of the
Lssker resolution. He says he learned
from the department that they had nc
official information that the resolution
had been returned. In the irst place,
he says the resolution was not tent tc
Bismarck, but to our minister to pre-
sent it to u representative body of The
German government.
What do you think would be the
effect IL it should prove true that the
resolution has been returnedp"
THAT" he replied, would depend
upou the ann in which 1t was done.
l do not think Bismarck would word u
reply In an offensive manner"
I'D you think, as many prominent
German-Americans do, that Bismarck
is trying to incite US to WARP"
THAT I think more than likely.
That is the most probable theory 1 have
heard"
I'm that event, what would this gov
ernment dor"
"Wbst could they do?" was the quick
retort. "Send the fleet over therrl"
ironically. 1T is more than likely IL
there is anything at all In the affair,
Bismarck wants war"

The Fire Damp Disaster.

Cniontown, Pa, February 2l.-The
scene of yesterdays terrible disaster
was visited by large numbers to-day.
The majority of them came simply
from curiousity. but many came with
the earnest intention of investigating,
and, If possible, ascertainlng the cause
OF the explosion.
Heretofore gas has not caused much
trouble in the mines of western Penn
sylvania. 1t is evident that a vast
quantity Of gas generated in a short
time without being discovered. The
majority Of experts who have examined
the mine this morning, incline to the
belief that the explosion resulted from
the falling in OF a portion of the roof
OF one OF the chambers and exposing u
crevice filled with Ere damp, etc. They
are not, however, willing to stake their
regulations on this until a more
thorough examination has been made.
Collins for ten victims arrived from
Pittsburg this morning, and all will be
buried from Uniontown tomorrow.
Two-thirds of the victims are Catho-
lies, and it has not been decided
whether union services will be held or
each family bury their own dead.
The Conn.llsville Coke and Iron
company, n Of the mine, will pay
all funeral ex penses. There are none

elusion Of American pork was agrarian.
