salisburys Policy

LONDON, January 21.-In the House
OF Lords, Lord Salisbury, in his speech
outlining the policy OF government, said
that Germany had granted assurances
that she did not intend to annex Samoa
With regard to Burmah. he said it
would be better TO await the arrival OF
papers from Lord Dufferin before max
ing any statement that government was
using its Influence to prevent any
important breach of the international
laws. On this point he said he
felt strongly, because 1t had been re-
ported that he had given encourage
ment to Greece. The statement he
emphatically denounced as untrue, and
declared that Engan !. above ali, de-
sired peace in the East Referring to
Ireland, the Premier said government
had refrained from renewing the
crimes act because there had been
a prospect of returning order in that
country. The experiment, however,
had failed, although every chance had
been given to make it success Moth

The Fatal Fire Damn.

WHEELING, w. Va, January 21.-At
2.45 O'Clock this afternoon an explosion
of fire damp occurred in the shaft of
the Newburg Oriel Coal Company, New
burg. w. Va, which shook the build
ings in the immediate vicinity and
caused CONSERVATION and alarm among
the relatives and friends of the miners
employed there. Immediately follow
ing the sound of the explosion
flame of fire arose far above the
mouth of the shaft, and timber and
DE- bris Of all kinds was strewn around.
Great excitement ensued, and crowds
of people hurried to. the spot. The
shaft in which the explosion occurred
was sunk about two years ago and
has reached a depth of $50 feet.
From the bare shaft the main
heading runs out about half a mile
from whence the narrow rooms diyerge
from either side. The theory ad-
vanced as to the cause of the explosion,
is that fire damp had accumulated in
one of the rooms and was accidentally
ignited by miners lamp. but nothing
positive has yet been learned. The
force of the explosion blocked air so
close that no one would venture into
the main holding, so as to ascertain the
fate of the imprisoned men, until an
air passage could be established. This
work is being pushed vigorously. Up
to midnight no bodies have been re-
covered. 1t is supposed that thirty
seven men are imprisoned. The pre-
vailing opinion is that all are dead, al
though few express hope that some
of them escaped,

THE AWFUL AVALANCHE.
The Destructive Work of Colorado
SnowsIides.

DENVER, January 21.-Aspen special
to the NetCS says: Freighters who ar
rived in Aspen to-day, state that
twenty-seven snowsIides have occurred
in the neighborhood of Maroon Pass
during the past three days. On Tuesday
a party of ten men, with eighteen
mules, started from Aspen to clean out
the pass, since which nothing has been
heard of them until this afternoon,
when news was brought here that the
avalanche of three days ago had buried
the men and mules at the mouth of the
canyon. Two of the Hoskins boys,
Marion Stewart and Charles Miller, res
cued themselves. The clothing was torn
from their bodies. and they were terribly
bruised. After nights struggling III
the snow they reached Spoilers cabin
and gave the alarm. A party started
for the scene Immediately and sue
ceeded in rescuing twelve of the eighteen
mules, but at noon to-day had not
found the remains of the men. The
victims are Albert Sloper, Ira Hall,
James Hungeford, David Pattenhall,
and two Others unknown.
A siX-mule team and driver went over
Independence Pass between Leadville
and Aspen this afternoon, falling and
sliding nearly 1000 feet. The driver
was uninjured, but the mules were
killed.
Ou-ay special to the Ne,rs: Last night
Geo. Boss, mail carrier between Ouray
and Sllverton, got in after every one
had given him up for lost, and reported
a huge slide on the Dutton mine, in
which four miners were swept away
and the houses and new plant of the
machinery made total wreck. A miner
on the Genesee, near the button, was
also carried away. The Gilpin County
Mining Company's building and Geo.
Porter's store at Sneffels are all gone.
Five feet of new snow has fallen since
Sunday in the mountains and the loss
of life and property will be large.

Precautionary.

LONDON, January 21.-The vaults of
the Parliament buildings were carefully
inspected before the arrival of the
Queen at the House OF Lords, as a pre-
cautionary measure against the perpc-
tration of any outrage. The Princess
of Wales was not pre- ent. While the
Royal procession was returning to
Buc Aingham Palace, a horse ridden by
a trooper kicked boy standing at the
edge OF the pavement. The Queen, who
was an eye witness of the accident, I'M

inquired as to the extent of the lads in

serious, Her Majesty resumed her

Dividing Dakota.

Washington dispatches say that a
bill will probabaly be INTRODUCED into
congress for dividing Dakota on the
Missouri river. following the river as
far north as the northwest corner of
Emmons county, and running thence
north to the British possessions, the
eastern half to be created into the state
of Dakota, while the west half would
form new territory of which Bismarck
would be the capital. There is a great
deal more to be said IN favor of this line
of division than can be advanced in be-
half of the 46th parallel. The state of Da-
kato as thus constituted would contain
about 10000 square miles, of which 49,
600 lie south and $1,000 north of the
proposed line of division on the 46th
parallel. 1t would make state like
Iowa, in the fact that it would through
out be farming land of the best quality.
The population would be of the same
character throughout. The new terri
tory to the west would be largely devot-
ed to mining. grazing and Indian res
ervations The state of Dakota would
contain three of the most feItile val
leys in the United States, those of the
Sioux. Red and James rivers. 1t would
be doing that part of Dakota west OF
of the Missouri little injustice to deprive
it of the name of Dakota, while it would
be an act of most fragrant injustice 10
deprive the north half of the territory
of its share of the name. The part to
be admitted would contain 3S5 900 in
habitants as shown by the census of
a q l.
alton of 500, 900. The territory of
Dakota is nesrly square, so that it
would make little difference as to the
symmetry of the new state, whether the
territory should be divided on north
and south or an east and west line.
The prejudice which exists in South
Dakota against North Dakota is almost
wholly the result of transformation.
North Dakota is just as much land oil
small farmeas as is South Dakota, IN
fact the farms average fraction samner
In the north half than in the south nall.
1t has always paid more taxes to the
territory in proportion to its populsuon
than the south half. It's people are as
intelligent and as capable of sitting down
upon disreputable political bosses as
those of the south half. Like the eastern
half of Sonth Dakota, the eastern half
of North Dakota will always contain
most prosperous agricultural communn-
ity. The Northern Pacific is no more
powerful and no more dangerous to the
future welfare of the state than either
one of the great railway corporations
that run their lines into the southern
half of the territory. If Dakota IS TOO
large to come in as one state. then letus
have division on the Missouri river
