sion, organization, legal conditions, social
purity, political conditions, and religion
have been discussed. :,
"While no restriction has been placed
upon the fullest expression Of the most
widely divergent views upon these vital
questions of the age, it is cause for rejoicing
that tho sessions both private and public,
have been absolutely without friction.
1T is the unanimous voice of the Council
that all institutions of learning and OF pro-
fessional instruction, including schools or
theology, law and medicine, should in the in
terestS of humanity be as freely opened to
women as to men. That opportunities for
industrial trainingshould be as generally and
as literally provided for one sex as for the
other; and the representatives of organized
womanhood in this Council will steadily
demand that in all avocations in which both
men and women engage equal wages shall be
paid for equal work; and, finally, that an en-
fightened society should demand as the only
adequate expression of the high civilization
which it is its Office to establish and maintain,
an identical standard of personal purity and
morality for men and women"

A MINE HORROR,
An Explosion Causes a Frightful
Disaster in Missouri.


Disaster in Missouri.
The most horrible mine disaster that has
ever occurred in the West happened at noon
Thursday in Keith & Perry's No. 6mine, near
Rich Hill, No., and as a result large num-
ber of men were entombed and thousands of
dollars worth of property has been destroyed.
A dispatch says:
Just at dinner hour, when the men were
ascending eight at time in the cage,
q rumbling noise was heard, and a
moment later there was a fearful
explosion that entirely wrecked the
mine and buried in the debris over one hun
dred miners, who were cut off from all means
of escape. A score of bodies have already
been removed from the shaft, while fifteen
others remain unaccounted for. It was i'm
possible, in the midst of the terrible excite
ment to obtain q complete list Of names OF
the unfortunates. The little village was
completely paralyzed by the horror, and men
and women were wandering about the streets
crying for the return of those known to be
in the bottom Of the pit
The Superintendent of the mine was badly
injured, but alive when taken from the shaft.
His face was horribly disfgured by the explo-
sion, and the flesh Of his arms was torn in
shreds The explosion occurred when the
full force of one hundred men were at work
in the mine.
Not one of the survivors has been able to
give any coherent story about the shock. The
earth seemed to snap, and the next instant all
was darkness.
Although the mine is six miles from town
the explosion shook every house. Nearly
every one seemed to divine its cause, for
the next moment saw the muddy streets
leading to the shaft filled with bare
headed women and children, who
screamed as they ran. Such scenes
as were witnessed at the mouth of the shaft
have no parallel in the Missouri coal fields. A
thousand people, for the most part women
and children in tattered clothes, were at the
pit filling the night air with their lamenta-
tionS.
The work of recovering the bodies was
prosecuted with frantic haste, but the task
was so great as to be almost agonizing. The
bodies already removed from the pit show
the terrific force of the explosion. Coal
dust has been blown into the flesh of the
dead until their bodies were abso-
lutely black. Some of the bodies are
frightfully mutilated. Arms, legs and eyes
have, in some instances been blown out of
their sockets, while others of the unfortunates
have been so cruelty disfgured as to be un-
recognizable.

A CRISIS IN FRANCE.
Resignation of the Members OF
President CarnOt'S Cabinet.
The Government Beaten on a Mo.
tion to Revise the Constitution

The trouble which the French Government
has been having with General Boulangef'
late War Minister, has resulted in victory
for him and the enforced retirement OF
President Carnots Cabinet. A Paris dis
patch gives the following particulars:
The Chamber of Deputies, by vote OF
PCS to 237, despite the opposition OF the GOV
ernment, voted for urgency Tor the E3trenie
Left bill providing for the Revision Oh ene
Constitution. The Government thereupon
resigned. ,,
NJ Laguerre,a a friend of General Boulanger,
proposed and NJ Pelletan supported the
motion for urgency. In the course OF the dls.
cussion several Bonapartists declared that
they would support the demand in SO far as
it was an appeal to the people: M. bauuIy
d'Asson lRoyalist) said that he would vote
for the proposal, hoping it would tend 70 re-
could save France. Minister Viette asked
the Chamber to await the return OF Premier
Trard from the Senate before deciding.
M. Brisson said he was opposed 10 re-
vision, and, alluding to General bou-
LANCER, said that the satisfaction which
would be afforded by the adoption OF the
measure ought not to be given to person
who had attacked the institutions Of the
country and talked of purging the Chamber
! NJ. Clemenceau favored revision, saying
that the Constitution was not i'll accordance
with the principles Of republican democracy
Minister Sarrien urged the Chamber
to reject the demand, declaring that
it was essential that no new cause
of troubles and difficulties be added
to those already existing. N. Goblet thought
that revision of the Constitution would not
improve the situation, as the real remedy con-
sisted in having Government supported oy
the Republican majority and capaele Oh
iwithstanding the numerous factions.
| Premier Tirard, who had entered the House
during the debate, declared that he fully
agreed with NJ Sarrien. If the Chamber ae-
cided to consider the urgency proposal the
Ministry would decline all responsibility, as
such action on the part of the Chamber
would furnish fresh argument In favor OF
the audacious manifesto issued by the dis
missed General.
The defeat Of the Ministry caused a sensa-
tion in the Chamber. AS soon as the vote
was announced NJ. Tirard departed for the
.Elysee Palace.
The Chamber, after short recess, reas-
sembled at P. NJ. NJ. Cuneo d'Ornano.
Bonapartist, movtd that the bu-
reaus tomorrow appoint a com
mittee to prepare for the revision or the
Constitution. After confused debate, NJ.
de Sonnier of the Left urged the Chamber to
await the formation of a new Cabinet. NJ:
d'Ornanos motion was rejected by vote OF
253 to 1876, the Right cheering ironically.
The Chamber then adjourned.
The Cabinet Council met at the Elysee
Palace at 9PM President Carnot accepted
the resignation of the Cabinet. The Minis
ters, however. consented to conduct the
affairs of their several departments until
their successors would be appointed.
