oneo miners, and although strong hopes of
reaching them were at first entertained, the
attempts thus far made have been uusuccess-
tul. Sunday was the saddest day ever known
In Nanticoke. Excited crowds surrounded
the colllery, eager for news of the MISSING
men, while the work of clearing away the
rubbish was being pushed as rapidly as pos.
siole' On Monday the rescuing party heard
tapping on the iron air shaft, which led
70 the oelief that the men were still alive
but shortly afterward there was a fresh fall Of
rock and clum, which came near carrying
away the men at work, aud now all hone of
hnding the miners alive is gone. The region
around Nanticoke is almost paralyzed bv the
calamity, and it will be weeks before the rub
Dish can be cleared away.

Congress having adjourned for its usual
holiday recess Of two weeks, the Boston Jour
nails Washington correspondent makes this
summary Of the work accomplished to date
Some 1000 nominations have been placed
upon the executive calendar Of the Senate.
But one confirmation has been made. Seven
hundred bills have been presented in the Sen
ate; more than one thousand bills have been
referred TO committees in the House. One
bill the first to receive the signature of Pres
ident Cleveland, the bill to remove the polit-
cal disabilities Of Gen. Lawton Of Georgia,
has become a law. The committees in The
House, with one or two exceptions, have not
been appointed. The machinery OF Congress
has not been fully put in motion, yet the two
houses will not reconvene until January 9th
These circumstances, in the minds of many
thoughtful members, lend force to the prop
osition Of Senator Edmunds that q new CON
gress ought always to assemble on March 8.
The Senate has adjourned without having fix.
ed upon any definite policy as to the Presi-
dents nominations. The decision of the Re-
publican caucus not TO oppose the nomina-
tons as rule was subject to the important
qualification that where charges which are
not merely trivial are made there should be
careful inquiry.
