General Caprivi's Speech.

BERLIN, May l2.-Chancellor Ca
privi made long speech in tho Reichstag
to-day in regard to Germany's colonial
policy. He said that regarding the bound
aries OF their respective possessions in
Africa. the predomiuating wish Of Ger
many was TO go hand in hand with Eng
gland and to cultivate the common inter-
ests of both countries. Regarding slavery
the chancellor said: ave must found
stations, and the bullet and Bible must
act in the civilization. Without killing
OF the slavc-dealers you can never
abolish slavery"
The colonial movement, he said, had Its
origin in the same idealism or romatic idea
OF unified empire. There was surplus
of this after war, and 1t was directed to-
ward colonizing. Tho movement was in
judicious, as IL one had only to raise his
hand to couiure forth Jumps of gold and
rcady-made cigars-and was begun with
little practical knowledge of prudence.
An atlas was taken and half of Africa
painted blue. Laughter.l Such, how
ever was the invariaple beginning of such
movements. 1t was difficult to convert
enthusiasm into hard cash, still he cher
ishcd the hope that East Africa would be-
come a fitting sphere for the investment
Of private capital.
In reference to the speech correspond
cnt says: BY to days speech in the
Reichstag Won Caprivi passed with one
bound to the first rank Of European states
mon. The opinion universally expressed
In tho lobbies was that In comparison with
his predecessor he has nothing to fear.
His speech was an intellectual treat of the
first order. His whole bearing and cs-
pccially the strength revealed by his con
ciliatory manner toward opponents showed
nobility of nature, high integrity and
,lcarnoss Of purpose. Tho emperor and
Europe are to be con ongrntulAted,

COLLAPSE OF A MINE.
Twenty-Six Pennsylvania Miners En-.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 15.-Infor-
that an extensive cavc-in occurred at noon
in mine operated by the Lchigh and
Wilkcsbarre Coal Company. 1t is rumored
that twenty six miners are entombed be-
yond the cave, and have no way as yet Of
escape. Many houses in the vicinity are
toppling.
The present cave Immediately adjoins

CURED twelve years ago, imprisoning ten
men over week, but who were finally
rescued alive. The present cave extends
over half a mile square, includes portion
of the thickly settled village called MA
fetrs Patch" A large number of houses
have gone down with the surface, but only
few were badly damaged.
1t is known that there were twenty seven
miners entombed In the mine. The cave
occurred at 0 o'clock this morning in No. 6
colliery, covering an area of more than ten
acres. The surface, almost as far as the
eye can reach, was scanned and cracked
with long circular assures, some of which
were over two feet wide.

and the lamentations of the wives and
little ones. were heartrending. Rescuing
parties Immediately organized and gang
after gang relieved one another until five
o'clock, when the news passed that they
had succeeded in breaking through the
chambers beneath the cave. About $50
the charrcd and blackened form of Anthony
t'royne was hoisted 10 the surface. He
was still alive but his injuries are consid-
cred fatal. Old miners said that the fact
of Froync being so badly burnt lent very
little hope for the safety of his compan-
ions.
At midnight ;hc rcscuing parties were
driven out of the gangway. The place is
full of black damp and further approach
In the direction of the victims was impos-
sible, even with safety lamps. Vigorous
efforts arc now being made 10 change the
air currents so rs TO drive the gas back
from where the victims are supposed
TO be.
The men cntombed are nearly all mar
ried and have large families dependent
upon them. People crowd close to the
opening and peer into the darkness of the
fatal depth while the cries of the women
and little ones make the heart sick with
pity.

Secretary Window Replies to an Article
in the ssNationaI Economist"
WASHINGTON, May 2d.-Secretary Win
dom this afternoon made public his reply
to an article in the National Econop,ist en-
titled. The Volume of Currency He
first shows the circulation of April 1st last
to be as follows: Gold coin, 1878 624, ass;
standard silver dollars. 81 ,9S9 $50; subsii-
iary silver, S53 9S4 ,9T2; gold certificates,
S134 933.079; silver certificates, $500 605, ,562:
United States bank notes, 1889. 76l $50;
National Bank notes S1S6.5S9 936. Totals,
81, ,437 494 052. The Secretary then says:
There is no duplication in any of these
figures, nor do they embrace any money
in the Treasury. The total amounts Of
gold coin and bullion, silver coin and
bullion, gold and silver certificates and of
United States and national bank notes in
the Treasury have been deducted and are
not included in the amount of circulation
presented above. The gold coin in circu-
lation represents the difference between
the amount estimated from the official
tables to have been in the country and the
total amount of gold in the Treasury of the
United States.
What portion of the gold coin in circu-
lation actually performs the duty of cir
culating medium, and what portion is held
by banks and boarded by individuals, no
one can say. The only banks required by
law to render reports to the department. are
national banks, which held in their cash
about S71 100000 in gold. This is just as
much in circulation as any other item re-
ported by the bank. The number of silver
dollars in circulation represents the differ
ence between the plumber coined since
March 1, 1878, and the number held in the
Treasury of the United States, April L,
1890. The amount of subsidiary silver
coin represents the excess of coinage since
1873 over the smount in the Treasury The
gold and silver certificates in circulation
represent the actual amount of these notes
issued less the amount in the Treasury.
The amount of United States notes in cir
culation represent the amount issued less
the amount in the Treasury. The amount
of national bank notes in circulation rep
resents the amount outstanding, as re-.
ported by the Comptroller of the Currency,
less the amount in the Treasury"
The Secretary then on estimating the
population of the United States at 64,000.-
600 people, shows that the amount of me-
tallic and paper money outstanding equals
$50 So per capita. In foreign countries it
is as follows: France S57 Sc, United King.
dom S22 OIL, Germany $50 49, The Secre-
tary then calls attention to the fact that
France is the only leading foreign country
that exceeds the United States in circula-
ton per capita.

and Received Licenses.
BosToH, May 2d--A Yankee woman
named Mrs. Eliza L. Poole, of Chelsea, has
entered in field of service quite novel for
one Of her sex. She has been appointed
pilot on board the steam yacht Isis.
She rather staggered the United States
Inspectors of Steam Vessels yesterday
when she put in her application. They ex-
amined her for color blindness and she
passed with rush.
Her nautical knowledge was next tested
and she replied glibly to all questions
asked and showed that she knew all about
port and starboard, cross signals, rules of
the road and other technical matters. She
will not follow piloting as business, but
merely for pleasure.
Mrs. Poole is not the pioneer female pilot
of the country. Mrs. Calliol French aston
ished theSteamboat Inspector at Pittsburg
Pa. last Monday by applying for and re-
ceiving license to pilot vessels on the
Ohio and Monongahela rivers.
She already had license to pilot on the
lower Mississippi, and she told the In
spector that there were three other women
acting as pilots on the Mississippi.
