CANADAY WILL QUIT.
The Senate's Sergeant-at Arms
Resolves to Step Ont.

Resolves to Step Ont.
WASHINGTON, May 1S-It is settled
finally that Sergeant-at-Arms Canaday,
of the senate, is to resign. 1t is now
determined that Col. Canadsy will hand
in his resignation tomorrow, to take
effect probably July l. His successor
is to be chosen at a caucus of Repub-
lican senators. 1t is likely that MIR.
Leeds. of Philadelphia. ex-Representa-
tive Valentine, of Nebraska, and Col.
Sol Swords, Of Iowa, will be put
III nomination in the caucus, but
Valentine would have a clear field
after the first ballot. He has the back
ing of the West and he will get few
votes on the first ballot from New Eng
land. Deputy Sergeant-at-ArmSC Charles
b. Reade was strong candidate to sue
ceed Col. Canaday, about the strongest.
in fact: but last night at late hour he
withdrew from the race in favor of Mr..
Valentine. His withdrawal probably
settles the fight for succession. Mr..
Swords will receive complimentary
vote from Iowa on the first ballot, but
he will likely be withdrawn after that.
leaving the contest between Mr. Valen-
tine and Mr.. Leeds. The position of
Sergeant-at-armS and d00rkeeper OF the
senate pays $4,920. 1t is consid-
cred particularly desirable because
of the patronage connected with
it. The sergeant-at-armS is the
executive officer of the senate. Col.
Canaday has held the position of SER
geant-at-arms for nine years. He was
appointed from North Carolina to sue
ceed "Dick' Bright at the instance of
Senator Sherman. VITO has used his
influence ever since to keep him in of
fee. Determined efforts have been
made for more than year to have Col.
Canaday removed. and a great MANY
charges against him have been pub
lished in the newspapers, but they have
all been disproved. The political press
ure for the place has been very great,
and the fact that North Carolina is
Democratic state has rendered Col.
Canaday;s tenure of office very insecure
for some time. Nothing but his person
al popularity could have kept him in
the place for so many years.

Gently spent few days at Friedriehs-
ruhe. and was entertained at dinner by
the ex-chancellor. The conversation
was devoted principally to political

to his resignation as a first-class fu-
neral. but added that he was quite alive
still. He did not understand the
French law compelling retirement
from public service at sixty to
sixty-five years of age. He
had been forced to retire at seventy,
but he was too young to do nothing. He
was accustomed 20 politics. and now
felt the lack Of political business. His
resignation was absolutely final. He
defended himself against the charge of
barbarity in having caused the bonn

Germany would never attack France or
provoke France to attack her. Germany

The Ruler of the Belgians
Suspicious of the Grasp
ing Germans.

LONDON, May 1S.-The visit of the
king of the Belgians to London proves
to have been not solely for the
purpose of attending the unveiling
of the prince consort's statue at
Windsor, though that was its osten-
sible object. 1t is developed hy cl Sc
inquiry in circles best informed dipIo-
matically that King Leopold is anxious
in regard to the continued independence
and autonomy of Belgium. He believes
that war between Germany and France
is imminent, and lie fears that, in the
general alteration of the map of Europe
that will follow. Belgium will be alb
sorbed by her big neighbor Oh the
east. unless she can find strong friends
to support her claims to con-
tinued independence. England's in
fuenee has more than once before
been thrown on Belgium's side when
questions of Germany's pretensions in
that direction have been at issue. and
King Leopold's real reason for visiting
London at this time was that he desired
personal assurance from Lord Sails
bury that England would guarantee
Belgium'S neutral position in case of a
Franco-German war. An interview was
held accordingly, ana the desired assur-
ance was given. There is no doubt that
England would go to any length re-
quired in order to prevent such an in
crease of German territory and power as
would be involved in the acquisition of
either Belgium or Holland, toward both
which countries the German statesmen
are suspected of constantly casting
greedy eyes. The recent meeting of
Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Gladstone
at dinner at the Grand hotel was,
furthermore, arranged for the purpose
of making Mr.. Gladstone acquainted
with this renewal of the understanding
between England and Belgium, as to a
guarantee of the latter'S position OF
neutrality in case of war. 1t is part of
the unwritten law of British statesman
ship that the leader of the opposition
Shall be made acquainted with the
salient features of the governments
foreign policy, and the present instance
furnishes aHillustration of this custom.
King Leopold also visited Mr.. Gladstone
Wednesday and had long conversation
with him. The result of the kings trip
to England, it is believed, will prove to
have had highly beneficial effect upon
the future position OF his country.

SERIOUS NINE FIRE.
Blaze IN the Nelson Shaft al

ShamOkin. Pa.
SHAMOKIN, Pa, May 1S.-The Nelson
shaft is on fire. having caught from the
burning timbers of the breaker, which
was destroyed last Friday night. The
lower levels are filled with gas. Twenty
five mules at the bottom are dead and
nineteen on the top levels viii probably
be sutfOcated.
At 10p p. m. the fire in Nelson shaft
had assumed serious aspect The fire
is known to be in No. II vein, at a
depth of 1000 feet, but its extent cannot
be determined. as no one can visit that
level and return alive. Smoke and
foul air were noticed issuing from the
the air course Of No. u level at D.
m. The nineteen mules which were in
the 75O-f0ot level are dead. The break
eT ire destroyed the boilers and one
fan. To-day steam facilities were OBJ
tanned and fan started to ventilate the
mine, but it failed to drive out the
gas in the upper level. The mine
is making gas fast and serious results
will occur if it reaches the fire. Late
tonight it was decided to turn the
Carbon Run creek into the shaft and
drown out the fire. 1t will take thirty
six hours to turn the creek and if the
fire is in the locality which the mine
foreman thinks it is, it will be three
Or four days before the water will reach
the fire. The gas and fire are so dam
gerOuS that every precaution is being
taken to prevent loss OF life.

MORE CHARITY DESIRED.
DIR. Alexander Smiths Sermon at
Baltimore Yesterday

BALTIMORE, May 1S.-The national
conference of charities and correction.
DIR. Byers, the president, says, has
been a decided success, both in the
numbers in attendance and the charac-
ter of the papers read, and from all ap-
pearances bids fair to so continue to the
close. The usual Sunday sermon by
Archdeacon Alexander Mckay Smith,
D. D., of New York. was largely attend
ed. DIR. Alexander Mckay Smith said
in his sermon: Church members rely
too much on money. machinery and
agents in the work OF charity. | do not
underrate the value, power, gifts and
zeal of the church, but great deal is
wasted and many call that which is
nothing more than self-indulgence
by the sanity name of charity. Men
are not like cattle, and plead for more
of that Christ-like interest in humanity.
As Nine. Roland said many years ago:
''Well might we say Of charity, how
many sins are committed il thy name."
