A Dynamite Exp,oston.

DuIuTm, MINI, Feb. ae.-This morn
ing at 7:15 an explosion occurred in u
rock cut on Fourth street. Eighteen men
are injured, eight are now in the hospital,
n died upon reaching the hospital.
Others cannot live through the day. Men
and rock were hurled many feet, and the
shock caused qy the explosion was terrific.
The cause of the explosion was that some
cartridge fuse, last Saturday, had not
been exploded, and remained in the drill
hole. Work was resumed this morning
and the mcn had struck but few blows on
the drill when the dynamite exploded
with awful force. About thirty men
were in the cut. The blame is attached
TO the foreman of the gang. who it is
claimed knew there was danger in ORDER
ing men back to work. The coroner s
jury will dcvclopc the facts in the matter.
II is probable. at least, four fatalities will
result.

Lovely.

PnrLADRLrnlA, Feb. 7.--I.cwis, of the
knights of Labor, yesterday wrote to Prcsi-
dent Cabin, of the Reading road, saying that
in order to close up the strike he proposed to
order q resumption of work at once upon the
assurance that after operations were in rcgl-
lar progress the subject of wages would lie
considered, and that no one he Disseminated
against or accoun of the strike.
Corbin replied today that such action would
be satisfactory to the company. No one is to
be Disseminated against on account of the
strike, SO that it is not understood as pro-
tccting such men as have made or attempted
to make personal assaults, and further that
the miners are not to expect a higher rate of
wages than paid by other coal producing
.ompanics.

Grief ana Gloom.

BERLIN, Feb. 2N.-Bcrlin, SO says the ia
pcrs and people, is more quiet this winter
than ii las been since the winter Of 1871.
Most of the great public bulls have been put
of for a year, or, like actors balls, have
proved utter failures the single exception Of
this being on carnival night, when notice was
given of over eighty public dances, the major
fty of which were to have been crcwcd. ln
higher circles the news from San Reno stop
ped abruptly Whatever gaicty mighthave been
crowded into the last few days before Lent
and postponed official dinners. People pre-
fcrrcd to get together in small numbers. Even
then they are apt to Talk about the crown
princc-which is not an cnlivcning topic, as
few Germans think lie will ever be seen again
In Bcrlin-or about the kaiscr's grief, which
almost equally saddcning, as 1t is generally
recognized that the emperor has given way
more to his feelings regarding the crown
prince and aged more in the past tlNes months
than he has in the same number of years.
Few things have ever more deeply touched
German feelings than the tragedy at San Re
mo and their kaiser waiting tcarfully for
news Of his son. The effect of the anxiety
becomes daily more apparent on the aged
ruler. He keeps up his old habits, going to
the opera, rising to greet the ladies presented
to him and bcndin in courtly fashion over
their hands, but he rises only after repeated
attempts and many failures. When he bows
you wonder at the sclf-rcstraint of those near
him, who avoid giving offcnsc by not offering
aid out Of his u%nhappincss.
Various papers have attempted to get up a
sensation regarding the coming regency or
throne transfcral. Among Germans general
~ there is no discussion or desire to discuss
such matters, their view being that the royal
house is too honest and loyal to quarrel for
power over sick beds or death beds.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Gothic subcommittee
Of the house committee ON territories, which
has been charged with the preparation of the
.'omnibus'' bill to enable the territories of
Dakota, Montana, Washington and Arizona
to secure recognition us states, was busily en-
gagged in framing that measure today. A
large part Of the session was consumed in an
effort to define the amount and location of
the public lands to be allowed each of the
proposed new states, and the subcommittee
still has this section of the bill under con-
sidcration. Chairman Springer is hopeful
that the measure can be completed by Tues
day next SO that the full committee can then
take It III.
