WASHINGTON. May 10.-The charges fled

the confirmation of Chiefjustice Fuller are
said to be no surprise to the President Fuller
is charged with not only having been copper
head during the late war, but with having used
his influence as . legislator in Illinois to dis
courage the loyal citizens and the State in as
sisting the North in the war. and with repelling
invasions by the rebels. l am told that the
President was msde fully aware of this fact be-
fore he sent Mr. Fuller's name to the Serste,
and that he also knew that these matters would
be brought up against the nominee before con-
Hrmation- The President seems to have . very
strong and strange liking for msn who stood
with Senator Voorhees, during the war, and
fought by tongue and intrigue against the
North. There is very little, if any. doubt at oil
that Mr.. Fuller will be confirmed, but there are
Republicans In the Senate who propose to let
the couatry know something Of this mans rec
ord before giving their stamp OF approval h
Republican Senator has suggested that the ma
tional Republican committee should compile .
brief of the records of some Of the moro promi-
pent appointments made by President Glove

records He says that at least three-ifths Of
the prominent men appointed by Mr.. Cleveland
were either copperheads or confederates.

Fighting the Fire Damp.

This mine, while one OF the largest,
was also one of the most dangerous
in the valley. In order to keep the
workings supplied with pure air, in
quantity sufficient to render harmless
the explosive gases released by open
ing the coal seams, an immense fan
had been constructed which, during
every minute that it was in action,
drew forth from the mine over two
hundred thousand cubic feet of inn
pure air. Even with this great air
current. there were very dangerous
parts of the mine, requiring the ut
most vigilance from the miners. To
hear OF some miner or laborer firing
the gas IN his chamber and being
burned thereby. was matter of al
most weekly occurrence. In pits
OF this character, where is a
plentiful air current, it is
often a custom with miners to
'fire" the gas in their working places
before quantity sufficient to render
its combustion dangerous accumu-
lates. When this is done the gas will
take fire with noise not unlike that
made in lighting a common gas let.
There Is such an excess of air that the
explosion OF the gas Is very weak and
harmless. The lame, often three or
four feet deep, will travel along the
uneven roof, showing beautiful colors
varying from deep dark blue to a
brilliant crimson; and in it shine
stars OF dazzling white light, showing

heat OF the gas. Sometimes this flame
will travel close up against the roof.
slowly to and fro, several times, until
all the gas has been burned away.
When the flame dies out the burnt
gases 1.-THE "black" or latter danny,
