only Malloy usually takes part in discus
sions on the supply. ami he is always mod
crate, reasonable and well Informed. Then
there three Scotchmen-Dr. Clark, Mr..
Cauldwell and Sir George Campbell. 1t was
the last named who was destined to play the
part of the fly in the pot OF ointment Sir
George Campbell is one of the men
who have their say on everything,
no matter what it is or how little they know
about it. He began With some observations
on the PRISONS vote, concerning. which much
might be proRtably said, but not without
good deal more thought and study than
George Campbell has given to the subject.
He had net looked upon his facts and ar
ranged his ideas. He stopped about all over
the place like a pail of water carried by
careless housemaid. There is really no ex-
cuse for jumping into evil ways in profound
ignorance of their scope and meaning. That
sort of performance only discredits the dis
cussion of supply. Sir George Campbell is
good man and no doubt means well, but it Is
pity that he does not give himself hold ay
at times.
A happy thought Of Molloy would exactly
fit his case. DR.. Clark was making himself
a little troublesome when Molloy told the
secretary of the treasury not to mind him,
"for" said he, "f he goes on like this will
get him to make away into the country on
Monday"
A more excellent method of getting rid of
superfuous members cannot be imagined.
However, in spite Of Sir George Campbell,
a fair amount of work was done and sub
stantial progress made toward bringing
things to an end.
Now, word about Mrs. Maybrick, for
whom the Herald has been working so hard.
1t is quite out OF the question that anybody
can know what Mr.. Matthew'S decision will
be, for there is good reason to believe that
he has not yet absolutely found it in
his own mind. Nevertheless, there is equally
good reason for believing that the prospects
for Mrs. May have improved since yes
terday, and that is point IN the direction
of communication of the capital sentence. Be
yond that no expectation or conjecture need
be entertained. In going so far Mr.. Matth-
ews will provoke great outburst of censure
| from those who believe Mrs Maybrick to be
| guilty, while it is by no means certain that
he will receive Mrs Maybrick's friends. 1
| think, however, you will find that have
| pretty accurately Indicated the issue.

THE MINERS CONFERENCE.
Nothing Definite Decided Upon as
Yet

CHICAGO, August 1.-THE conference be-
tween the northern Illinois mine owners and
their miners was resumed here at 10 O'Clock
this morning, When the meeting was called
to order, Patrick Mccall, of the miners
committee, stated to the mine owners that as
decided at last nights meeting, the miners
would accept the proposition of the owners
for reduction of ~ cents per ton in the
price OF mining, with an amendment to the
effeettha after October next, an advance
of ~ cents should be conceded by
the operators. House. of the operators
committee, replied that the proposition for
an unconditional reduction OF ~ cents sub
mitted last night was its ultimatum and
would continue to be its ultimatum until it
was either accepted or the conference broke
up. Several of the miners moved that the
conference adjourn, as there was nothing
further to be done. Mr.. Wines, of the citi-
zens' committee. which brought about the
conference, appealed to those present not to
act hastily or hotly. Then followed long
desultory talk without result.
Upon reassembling the motion TO adjourn
carried after the formal refusal of the
miners to accept the ~ cents reduction
made by the operators for longer than unit
October /. The operators had rejected the
mems proposition of rs cents a ton after
October /, and no course but disagreement
seemed to be left open.

Cable-Special to THR BEE. THE sultan's
principal adviser, Mohammed Bakashmal, to
whom recently referred, who, since the de-
portaton of Kesperadewiee, his predecessor,
has been conducting public affairs and exer-
cising most nefarious influence with the
sultan has been exiled and leaves by the
French mail at the end of the month. The
British war vessel Mariner left for Sey-
chelles this morning Another is ex-
pected from the opposite coast to-day to
replace her. The men-of-war now in the
harbor are the British Agamemnon and
Griffan the German Pfest and Carola, the
American Swataria, and also one French
and one Italian. The Griffan is now rnoored
just below the palace on the northwest side
of town, so as to be able to shell any party
coming from the district called Melinde,
which is inhabited by Hindoos and Arabs
and their slaves. If an outbreak should
occur, 1t is there it will COM
mence. Then, after the rioters
have plundered the Hindoos they will re-
pair to the German custom house and wreck
it. The Agamemnon is moored off the con-
sulate Everything is ready on board the
British and German ships to assist in main
tanning order.
The place is unusually quiet. There has
been no selambik or parade of troops the
sultan having shut himself up in his country
house. Some soldiers are on guard in the
streets, chiefly in the hindoo quarter. There
is almost panic among the well-to-do Arabs,
who fear an occupation. The fall of the
suitan's chief adviser has completely set
aside all idea of a rising and Zanzibar is now

AFIRE IN MID-OCEAN.
Exciting Experience on a Passenger
Steamer from Brazil

New YORK, August 1z.-[Special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. THE steamer Alliance,
which arrived to-day from Brazil, had an ex-
citing experience in the first part of July.
There were 140 passengers on board, includ-
ing women and children. Everything went
well for a time until at 10 o'clock one morn
ing the cry of fire" was heard throughout
the ship A panic Immediately ensued but
determined and intelligent action on the part
of the officers and crew soon quieted the pas
sengers and every able-bodied man was
pressed into the ranks to fight the fire. 1t
seems some barrels in the hold containing
rum took fire and burned fercely. Life
boats and RATS were launched and the wo-
men and children placed in them. After
fighting the fire for twenty hours it was got
ten under control and the ship started back
for Bahia, where her passengers and what
remained of her cargo were landed in safety.
Over seven hundred bales of cotton were
thrown overheard and 800 bales more were
destroyed by fire.
