COAL MINE ON FIRE.
Steam Pipes Ignite the Mckay
Vein at Franklin.
Burning all Day-The Mine to BE
Flooded-Good Prospect of
Extinguishment.

A small fire burned all day yester-
day in the Mckay coal vein. at Frank
lin, the steam pipes from the engine
in the new slope having ignited the
coal with which it came in contact.
Al day long, from an early hour, the
miners struggled hard with the fire.
but made no progress, and finally a
requisition was made on Seattle for
pipe TO food the mine.
Late last evening a special train left
Seattle with a carload of piping and
hose in charge of Train Dispatcher
Clements, arriving at Franklin at 8
this morning.
Not much trouble is expected in sub
DUNG the fire now. 1t is not known to
what an extent water will be thrown
into the mine, and consequently it
cannot be said how long the colliery
will be shut down.
Two miners were overcome by black
damp yesterday, but have entirely
recovered.
The mine is the property of the Ore
gon Improvement Company, and had
been operated at high pressure lately,
shipping five or six hundred tons of
coal daily to Seattle. Between four
and five hundred men were employed
about the mine.

a MANSION ON WHEELS.
Something About the House Car of
the Future-A Suggestion.

In this age. when travelling may be
said to be almost passion, and when
so much has been done for the benefit
OF those who are fond of roaming, it is
strange that no system OF movable
houses has yet been devised. The
great improvements in parlor cars give
hint of how this should be done.
Already our millionaires and poten-
tates have their private palaces fitted
up with every convenience and luxury
in which they may live for weeks at a
time, having their cars switched on to
siding at any place where they wish
TO remain. Two difficulties, however,
have yet to be overcome before these
cars can be regarded As satisfactory
places for residence.
In the first place there is seldom
any provision made in them for the
entertainment of friends on any large
scale. Their owners having remained
for some time in any city and enioyed
the hospitality of friends, are debarred
By the narrowness of their quarters
from returning the social kindness of
which they have been made the re-
cipients. 1t Is necessary that the par
Tor car shall be developed until it con-
tains dining rooms, parlors, dining
halls, and even ball rooms suited for
the entertainment of large companies.
This will probably necesSitate the in
PRODUCTION OF a wider gauge than Is
at present commonly employed. unless
some arrangements can be made for
the use of trucks running on double
tracks with which roads are already
provided. This will naturally come in
time, and the people will send out in
vitations for entertainments to be
given in half dozen cities, on as
many different dates, with the com
Portable feeling that at the specified
time their own houses VIII be in
the places named. IL will be seen how
much this will add to the variety of
social life, and as it il directly in the
line OF the growing cosmopolitanism
OF the country the suggestion should
appeal 10 popular intelligence.
The second difficulty with the exist
ing state OF things is the fact that cars
switched on to a siding are almost sure

Henry Wood somewhat above Miss
Braddon. The subsequent achieve

CANADA RECEDEs.
Transhipment by American Fisher
men Through Canada Permitted.

HALIFAX, n. s., Dec u.-An i'm
portant move in the practical settle
ment OF vital point in the fishery
controversy was made here on Satur-
day. The Gloucester schooner Nor
horton, Capt. Campbell. arrived from
the banks with cargo of halibut I'M
der the treaty of ISIS. Capt. Camp
bell decided TO land part of his cargo
here, enter it at the customs, pay the
duty and tranship the balance to Bos-
ton. He landed 5000 pounds of packed
fish on the public wharf, right under
the noses of the custom officers and
delivered it TO Phelan & Son. agents
for the Boston Halifax d Prince Ed
ward steamship line, who shipped it
for Boston.
Consui-General Phelan frankly ad-
mitted that the transhipment had
taken place, and said the fact showed
for itself. The shipment was not
made under a modss yireRdi. but under
the rights claimed by the United
states under the bonding arrange
ments OF the treaty of Washington.
IL Is known that Consul-General Phe-
lam has been in constant telegraphic
communication with Secretary Bavard.
Dominion officials know all about the
transhipment, and the fact that they
have not interfered is taken as evil
dence that the transhipment is made
with the appreciation of the Canadian
government, and that it may he taken
as an abandonment of a vital feature
OF the Canadian position.

The steamer Thomas, Capt. Toker.

BALTIMORE, Dec. IL Last nights
fight at the mouth OF Chester river
may have resulted in considerable loss
OF life, as Peter Mullen, cook on board
the schooner Julia A. Jones, says he
was the only man out of the crew of

The state vessels were hotIv at
tackled by the dredgers, who were
heavily armed with repeating rifles,
and aid not return the ire until com

thoroughly riddled with bullets. and
Capt. Howard determined TO resort to
extreme measures. Backing the
steamer of from the fleet OF seven
dredgers which were tied together. he
singled out the Julia Jones and put
ting on 4 full head OF steam made di-
rectly for her stern, striking her fairly,
and the schooner sank almost instantly.
Mullen escaped by climbing up the
steamers anchor-chain, but SAYS the
rest OF the crew were in the fore peak
and could not have gotten out.
As soon as the McLsne got cleared
from the wreck. she was again backed
on and again headed for the fleet,
striking the schooner J. c. Malonev
squareiy in the stern. She at once
commenced to sink, and the remain
der OF the fie t got away as fast as pos
sible. Some OF the crew of the Ma
loney escaped by climbing on board
the McLane, and as each one came
aboard he was put in the hold, but
man named Colman, and a negro
named Bramble. of the crew of the
Maioney, are believed to have been
drowned, as they we're not seen after
the vessels were struck.
\ large fleet OF dredgers is reported
TO be on unlawful ground tonight and
1t is not unlikely there will be another
fight before morning.
