WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - The con-
sideration of the report of the
committee on rules was resumed, the
pending amendment, being that offered
by Mr.. Springer, to abolish the various
committees on expenditures in different
departments and to concentrate their du-
ties in one committee, consisting of ff-
teen members. After a long debate the
amendment was rejected.
Mr.. Hammond (Georgia), offered as an
amendment that no appropriation should
be reported in any appropriation bill for
any expenditure not previously authorized
by law unless in continuation of the APP
preparations for such public works and
objects as are already in progress. The
amendment was rejected.
The house rejected the motion of Mr..
Hammond, to strike out the clause of the
proposed new code of rules distributing
the appropriation bills among several
committees of the house, by'a vote of
yeas, GO; nays, 227.
Mr.. Adams. of Illinois, offered an
amendment virtually prohibiting "riders."
1t was substantially the same as the one
before the test vote on distributing
the appropriation bills had been offered
by Mr.. Hammond and been rejected by
the house. The amendment was now
adopted, and the remainder of the report
was agreed to without objection. Then the
report was adopted III toto. So the rules
of the forty-eighth congress, as amended
by the report OF the committee on rules,
are ~re-enacted as the rules of the forty
ninth congress.
Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois, then called up
the resolution fora holiday recess, after
having amended it so that the recess shall
begin on Monday next and end on Jan. 5.
Mr.. Beach, of New York, opposed the
idea, which he considered a childish one,
of taking a holiday recess. At this time
it was attended with danger, and he APP
pealed to the Democratic house TO go as
far as the Republican senate had done in
taking some action on the presidential
succession bill. The resolution then
passed. On motion of Mr.. Maston, OF
Indiana, the senate bill granting a pen.
sion to the widow of Gen. Grant, wal
taken up and passed. Mr.. Price, of Wis
%consin, alone voting in the negative. The
house adjourned.

Against Homo Rnle-

DUBLIN, Dec. 49, The city of Ar
magh, in the province of Ulster, was to-
night the point of an immense Loyalist
demonstration. The meeting adopted
resolutions expressing the belief that the
resort to home rule principles would be
certain sooner or later, to eventuate in
civil war; and and exhorting the Loyalist
party to go to the utmost length in resist
ing the efforts of home rule advocates.
The resolution commended the Loyalists
in ireland to the sympathy of Protestants
throughout the British kingdom. More
than one of the speakers boosted with a
degree OF earnestness that aroused re-
peated cheers from the listeners, hat the
Loyalist party in Ireland was ready to
meet whatever issue might be presented.
THE Ulster Oangemen are ready to
come to the front" said one OF the speak
ers amid great applause, and when their
services are needed. &C, 200 men can be
readily put in the field for active service
in the defense of loyalty to the govern
ment.

DOWN IN A COAL MINE.
Forty Miners Shut in by a
Sudden Flood.
Endless Discussion Over the
Admission of Dakota.
Bill Granting a Pension to
Mrs. Gen. Grant.
Miners Flooded Out.

W~mKEsBARRE, Dec. lS.-The waite
in the Susquehana river at Nanticok,
broke through workings of No. / slope
of the S%usquchanna coal company this
morning, and at noon there was about six
feet of water in the slope. An alarm was
sent through the workings when danger
was apparent, and the men except seven
Hungarians, who are believed to have
been drowned, hurried to the mouth Of
the slope and were rescued.
The accounts from Nanticoke are con-
flicting. Advices received this afternoon
were to the effect that thirty-nine men
employed at rock work in No. l slope
were imprisoned in the upper lifts by the
rapid rise of water. Several miners en-
tered the slope at 3 o'clock with boats,
intending to use every means to reach the
men.
A dispatch received here at 6 o'clock
this evening from Nanticoke stated that
sixty-one of the miners were unaccounted
for, and it was supposed they had per-
ished.
LATER. The disaster at Nanticoke is
more serious than at first supposed. The
theory that the water broke through the
bed of the river has been dispelled by the
fact that the place from whence the water
comes Is over 1000 feet from the Susque-
hama. 1t flowed from a pool on the sur
face. 1t followed the rock to a fault in
the seam, and then ran into the gangway
and slopes. thence to the lower workings
of No. | slope. When the water was
discovered making into the slope there
were nearly a thousand men and boys at
work on various openings, but at the par
ticular spot where it first appeared there
were not over thirty persons. 1t is re-
ported that there now about thirty men
who are hut in by water and rubbish
that has accumulated in the west gang
way in the second lift of the Ross seam.
1t is impossible to say what their fate will
be. The rescuing party is following the
face of the chambers in that part of the
gangway with hopes of reaching them
some time during the night. The officials
say there is no danger of the men suffo-
eating, as they will get plenty of air from
the faces of the chambers hat are not
clogged. Pumps were put into operation
tonight. They have the capacity of re-
moving 1000 gallons of water per minute,
and it is expected the mine will be clear
by MONDAY next. Old miners are of the
opinion that the men who are shut up
will be rescued alive.
AT 10 o'clock this evening the company
were making every possible effort to reach
the imprisoned men. Additional pumps
are being rapidly put up. Another force
of men has been sent down the air shaft,
who will endeavor to cut through to the
spot where the imprisoned men are be-
lieved to be. This work will be kept up
night and day until the fate of the men
is known.

Senator Vest argued the question oil

for senators to regard the action in Da-
kota as revolutionary until they should
set up as a state and undertake to per-
form the functions of a state and the
powers of statehood, they were not revo
lutionists. Mr.. Butler said that he had
Inexperienced what constituted a state
if the election of %senators and Judges was
not exercising statehood.
Senator Plumb showed that the first
senator from Kansas had been waiting in
Washington to take his seat on the ad-
mission of that state, and took his seat
in the senate the day following the act Of
admission, and that it had not been sug-
gested to be revolutionary. He thought
it presented an exactly similar case to this
of Dakota.
Senator Vest had not specially looked
up the question of the admission of Kan
sas, although Missouri took some interest
in that admission. For, said he, "a
large portion of our personal property
escaped into that state.
Senator Plumb-Yes. some that was

Senator Vest-No, sir, some other; but
let that pass.
MIR. Vest would not accuse the other
side of the chamber of lacking three cleo
toral votes. Alter further debate the
matter, at . o'clock. went over until to-
morrow.
The senate then proceeded to the cen
sideration of the joint rules.
Among the measures introduced in the
senate to-day was the following:
By Mr.. Fry-Providing that all future
appointees as heads of departments of
United States army shall be officers Sc
lected from the army, and nominated by
the president and confirmed by the senate,
to be such heads of departments. for
terms of four years. 1t declares that this
provision shall not apply to the head of
any department until that office shall first
become vacant. The president may in
his discretion, however, at any time place
upon the retired list any existing head of
a department, and the retired list is en-
for that purpose.

pensions, reported favorably bill grant

Stupid Attempt to Blackmail

A B%lackmailing Scheme.

LONDON, Dee. ls.-A sensation was
caused here this morning by the arrest of
a young man and woman named Magee
on the charge of attempting to extort
money from the prince Of Wales and
threatening his royal highness, in the
event of his not complying with their de-
mands. The prisoners were taken before
a magistrate, where formal examination
was held, resulting in their being re-
handed. 1t is known, that the letters
made a demand of ESQ, and minated
in unmistakable terms that unless the
amount was forthcoming the princes life
would be in jeopardy. The prince, it is
said, paid only passing attention to the
first letter which was sent, but when the
second came reiterating the demand and
threats. his royal hiGhness turned the
letters over to the police, who arrested
the parties. An equerry with the prince
of Wales, who knew something of the
contents Of the letters, declared that they
represented that Magee was an emissary
of a secret society and had been ordered
to kill the prince of Wales, but had sent
the letters to further intimate that Magee
did not wish to obey the mandate. There
was no help for it, however, unless he
could get money enough to go to America.
He wanted ESQ. If this amount reach
ed him, he would at once bid a lasting
good bye to secret societies and conspira
cies and start across the Atlantic. Moth
ing further can be learned tonight. 1t is
believed that disclosures Of an important
nature may be made when the case IN

The dog star Sirius now reigns su

connection with the torrid weather
that has afflicted humanity for the past
week is hard TO say. The ancients, land
in fact many in modern times, ascribed
the intense heat of midsummer to
Sirius, and considered that it had the
effect of eau sing dogs TO become rabid,
hence tie name dog star. The period
of It's reign is known as dog days, and
there are many popular superstitions
connected with It. Many think that
fruit, meat or fish preserved during
this time will be sure 10 decay, and
