LONDON, Jan. 20.-The queens speech
was read at the ministerial dinner today.
Referring to Ireland, the speech says, al
though in some respects there are favora-
bic indications of progress toward order in
that country, at present Ireland is dis
turbed by an increasing tendency to resort
to unlawful practices, and disposition to
set law at naught The government there
fore recognizes it's duty to take energetic
steps to enforce the laws, in order to pro-
vide security for life and property, and to
maintain, in the fullest meaning, the integ-
rity of the union, and measures necessary
to secure these ends will be submitted to
parliament. The speech further promises
a local government measure for England,
to be followed by similar measures for
Scotland and Ireland and a bill to cheaper
and facilitate transfers OF land. 1t refers
to the "hOpefui prospects" of the Egyptian
commission and the establishment of
stable government in Egypt, and says the
question Of annexing Burmah will not be
decided until Lord Dufferin returns. 1t
congratulates parliament on the peaceful
foreign relations of Great Britain, trusts
peace may be maintained in the Balkans
through the self control of all the powers
interested, and concludes by expressing
the hope that the new parliament will fol-
low the traditions Of former governments.

Fire Damp Explosion.

WHEELING, w. VA, Jan. 20.-At 2:45
o'clock this afternoon all explosion Of fire
damp occurred in the shaft of the New
bury Oriel coal company, at Newbury, W.
Va, which shook the buildings in the i'm
mediate vicinity, and caused CONSERVATION
and alarm among the relatives and friends
Of the miners employed there. Immedi-
ately following the sound of the explosion,
a flame of fire arose far above the mouth of
the shaft and timber and debris of all
kinds were strewn around. Great excite
ment ensued, and crowds of people hur-
ried to the spot The shaft in which the
explosion occurred was sunk two years
ago, and has reached a depth of $50
feet. From the base of the shaft
the main heading runs out one
half mile, from which narrow rooms
diverge from either side. The theory
advanced as to the cause of the explosion
is that fire damp had accumulated in one of
the rooms and was accidentally ignited by
q miners lamp. but nothing positive has
been learned. The force Of the explosion
blocked the air shaft so close that no one
dare venture into the main building to ascer-
tain the fate of the imprisoned miners until
an air passage could be established. This
work is being pushed rapidly. 1t is sup
posed thirty-seVen men are imprisoned.
The prevailing opinion is that all are dead,
although few express a hope that some
Of them may have escaped the effect Of the
explosion and have been able to reach
place free from black damp, which always
follows an explosion Of this kind. -.

A Plain Statement,

WASHINGTON, January 20-Theoommis-
sioner of the generalland Office has written
the following letter to W. r. Green, a
banker of Bangor, Oak:
In reply to your letter of the 9Th inst.
desiring to be informed as to my aims and
purposes in my late ruling, you are ad-
Vised that propose to execute the laws as
they stand. Entry men of public lands are
required to comply with the conditions pre-
scribed by law. Their entries must be con-
tirmed by this Office before patent can is
sue. The action of registers and receivers
jill the acceptance of proofs and
issuing certificates is preliminary only
not final nor conclusive, but sub
.ject to review and final action by this office
and department. C0nveyances after final
entry and issue of receivers receipt are al
iowable and legal as between parties, but
purchasers before patent issues take their
own risk. The government has the right to
land may) cancel an entry for fraud, ille-
gally OF noncompliance with law. These
are not innocent purchasers and have
never been so treated in the practice or de-
cisi0n of this department or by the courts.
For your further information upon this
point, you are referred to the decision of
Secretary Teller. in the case of C. P. COgs-
well. III Id, %. do not propose to con-
firm fraudulent entries,if know them to be
so. and / do propose to find out those
which are honest and separate them from
those which are found to be otherwise, and
have honest entries patented and fraudulent
ones cancelled.o .----
