A terrible explosion occurred in the Fair

mouth vf the Isine they at once started to

mined last week, and no men were employed
in the mines. Word came, however that n
party Of five or six men had gone into the
mines TO clear up their chambers. Mine
Inspector Blswitt happened to come along
about this time, and he and Gallagher with
d party entered the mines, going down 70
the third or lower vein and then followed
the air course, stonping to repair damages
TO the brattice, etS., as they went along.
Their progress was necessarily slow, and
the colrne they followed took them to the
right hand side Oi the mines. They came
at last 10 Il point where they found repairs
necessary, aEd returned TO the iuCt Of the

port SAYS:
"On Sunday, august /, 1856, while cruis-
ing about sixty-tive miles southeast OF st.
Georges island, the British schooners
Thornton and Caroline were found with
boats down engaged in killing fur seal. As
each boat was taken in the act and had
freshly killed seal on board, the schooners
we're seized for violation of section 1856,
Revised Statutes, and taken in tow for
Ounalaska HarbOr. At , a. m. August ,.
The British schooner Onward WAS spoken
at a point about one hundred and twenty
miles southeast OF 1t. George Island, and
as the master reported that he was scaling
and bad taken about four hundred skins in
the waters near where / found him, lcaused
the seizure of the vessel for violation OF
section 956 and took her in tow also. As
each OF these vessels had from eight to ten
breech-loading guns and ammunition ior
the same, without permit as provided by
law, | seized them for violation of executive
order of July ,, 1875, and proceeded to-
ward Ounalaska, reaching that port on the
night OF August =, 1856, where | anchored
and secured the seized vessels, taking the
arms and ammunition on board the Cor.
win for safety. / have now four schoOners
and sixty prisoners, with over two thou
sand seal skins and some other property

Capt. Abbey says that AS it was imprac
ticable for him TO hold all the prisoners on
board the COrwin he released a portion o
the rank and file. sending nineteen to San
Francisco. He was then TO tit ont the
seized American schooner San Diego, and
order her to SitksI for delivery to the United

The silver Question.

WASHINGTON, January 20. - The
House Committee on Coinage. to-day,
postponed until the next meeting con-
sideration of all bills relating to coinage
of the silver dollar. The committee
then begin discussion of the different
phases of the question and will dispose
of them as rapidly as the Importance of
the question will allow. 1t was the gen.
eral understanding of the committee
that the bill introduced by Chairman
Bland to repeal that portion of the act
of June 9, 1879, providing for the ex-
change and redemption of subsidiary
coins, for lawful money should be re-
ported favorably. Final action, on the
bill, however, was not taken,a s the COM
mittee thought it might lead to pre-
mature opening up of the silver ques-
ton. All bills relating to the trade dol
lar were referred to the subcommittee,
consisting of Representatives Lanham,
McCrary and James. after which an ad-
journment was taken.

LONDON, January 2O.-The Queen ar

Deputations of Loyalists from Ulster,
to-day, waited on the Marquis OF Hart
ington, war secretary under Gladstone.
They pointed out that in Ireland the
league power of the Queens writ does
not run outside of Ulster, and said they
feared that the terrorism existing in
the south and west of Ireland would
extend to Ulster unless it was checked.
Lord Harrington replied that in few
hours they would know the intentions
of government respecting the Irish
question, and that until then he would
refrain from defining his policy regard
ing matters. The Marquis advised the
deputation to do their utmost to enlist
the sympathy of the English people in
their cause.

THE QUEEN AND THE IRISH.
The Cookers Riot.

SToLERvIELE, Pa, January 20.-The
tuation has assumed an alarming
phase in the coke regions. This morning
300 strikers, armed with bars, coke
forks and revolvers, started on a
march. They drove the men from work
at the Alice and charged Warden's coke
ward at this place; then the Mayheld
and Donnelly mines were visited, mile
west of hire. A boy named Mentzer,
was horribly beaten, and the
yard boss, McCabe, chased and
hammered; every oven front was
crushed in. The rioters have gone
across the country to the Rising Sun
Works. The greatest trouble is yet to
come. Saturday will be pay day and n
Monday, ten days will have expired
since notice to quit was given to the
strikers in company houses. There
will likely be serious trouble when ejec-
ton is attempted. The report that the
Governor has been called on for aid is
untrue. Sheriff Steuart says he will not
send until he finds himself unable to
cope with the disturbed elements.
a Connellsville dispatch says the
Trotter, Dexter, Clinton and FRANKLIN
works are idle to-day the workmen
having joined the strikers. AT Fort
Hill an alliance has been granted and
the men are at work. Over 1000 men
are now out. The strike is spreading
throughout the region. At Stoneville
the employees were attacked this morn
ing and five of them severely beaten.
Trouble is also reported at Red Stone
works and officers have started for that
place. The action of the operators is
sending uniformed policy from Pitts
burg has aggravated the situation.
