explanations Concerning the Eewly
Made Agreements.

Made Agreements.
LONDON, June 27.-In the House Of Com
mons to-day Sir James Ferguesson, under
foreign secretary, replying to Mr.. Blame,
admi tied that declaration had been ex-
changed with France In March, 1862. by
which France and England engaged TO
respect the independence OF the Sui
tan OF Zanzibar. Referring to the
report that the agreement with
Germany included secret clause providing
Tor an alliance with that country in the
event OF war. the under foreign secretary
denied that the government had undertaken
any new obligation toward European pow
ers either IN the present agreement or
otherwise
NEGOTIATIONS STILL IN PROGRESS.
He further said that negotiations with
Germany still proceeded regarding Wal
tsch bay and Damaraland. A slip OF ter
rltory only twenty miles wide would give
the Germans independent access to the
waterway OF Zambesi. England was re-
eel ing the recognition Of the sphere Of
influence over vast regions, and she ought
not TO be jealous concerning the portion
that remains
Alfred Pe6se asked whether there was
any truth in the report that the government
was about to cede to France the Island Of
Domlnca, one or the Leeward islands, in
exch ange for renunciation by France of all
rights in the Newfoundland fisheries.
The under foreign secretary said the re-
port was utterly baseless.
THE AGREEMENT CLOSED.
BERLIN, June 27.-The National Gazette
announces that the Anglo-German agree
ment relative to East Africa has been finally
concluded.

CHANCES OF THE BILL.
A Coup d'Etat by the Republican
Senators Possible.

Senators Possible.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-The argument
is plainly on the democratic side in the de-
bate on the federal election bill, and the
republicans are so plainly aware of this that
if Speaker Reed were not speaker it might
be set down at once that the
but Speaker Reed is speaker and
Speaker Reed has said he will pass the bill,
80 that in spite of the suppressed feeling on
the republican side it will probably pass
Speaker Reed has been talking all along
about the House passing the bill through
the Senate, by which he means
apparently that the House will force
the bill upon the senate and make the Senate
take it as a party measure. 1t remains to
be seen, however, what Speaker Reed can
effect in the Senate personally. He is un-
popular with the republican senators, and
his methods are more so.
A MILITARY DEsPoTIsM.
"You have a military despotism in the
House, said a republican senatorial leader
to House republican. The Senate would
have to initiate Speaker Reed to pass the
federal election bill by changing its rules so
as to limit the debate. II Senators Ed
munds, Ingalls,, Aldrich and other leaders
will stand by what they have said (Mr.
Eomunus only yesterday IN open. Senate),
the freedom of debate cannot be
abridged, and Speaker Reeds plan
will be defeated. OF course there is
the unknown power Of party caucus to
reckon, but In the two caucuses held on this
subject the republican senator's have dis
tinctly refused to take up a force bill.
Nevertheless, Senators Carlisle and German
are quoted as saying that they feared a
republican coup detat in the Senate which

Her Screams Bring uelp and q Lynch
ing Follows.
WAYcRoss, GA, June 2z.--News has
just reached here from Argyle, village
fifteen miles distant, of an attempt to out
rage the daughter of d. James, who lives
six miles from Argyle.
Yesterday afternoon Ass. James daugh-
ter, aged ii, was sent out with bucket OF
milk, going about 300 yards from the house.
AS she was returning from her errand a
negro man approached her. and picking her
up in his arms. began kissing her and talk
ing to her, calling the child by endearing
names. The lustful nature Of the brute
soon nerved him for heinous crime.
SAVED BY HER SCREAMS.
But the screams of the child attracted the
attention Of some passers-hy, who came to
the rescue and succeedel Ia driving him
off before he had accomplished his purpose.
He was finally captured, handcuffed and
started for the station. Rumor has it that
the prisoner was taken from the guard and
liberated, but the general impression is that
Judge Lynch held his court between Q and
12 o'clock last night. No further particu-
lars can be obtained.

BLAIR'S BILL.

Speaker Reed Orders the Measure
Reported from Committee.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Soeaker Reed.
moved by the complaints of the southern
republicans that instead of getting the Blair
educational bill, free tobacco and other
things which they wanted from this con-
gress they were being put off with a
federal election bill which they don't
want, has ordered Chairman O'Donnell
of the committee on education to report the
Blair education bill forthwith. O'Donnell,
constituting his orders literally, will do so,
although he has not been able to get a quo
rum of the committee to order the bill re-
ported, but this is Of course quite unImpor-
tant. The absence Of the democrats from
the meetings does not prevent him from
saying that the committee has ordered the

FLAMES LEAP FROM THE MINE.
Nevertheless Two Inspectors Brave
the Perils of an Exploration.


DUNBAR, Pa. June 27.-The flames which
have been burning in the Farm Hill mine
burst from the mouth of the pit at $50
o'clock to- night and leaped thirty feet in the
air. All efforts to extinguish the flames
proved fruitless. aud the buildings in the
vicinity have been torn down to prevent
the fire spreading. A hurried consultation
folio ed between the j spectors and Dis
trict Master Workman Watchon as to the
advisibility Of abandoning the search for
the imprisoned men.
A PERuoUS UNDERTAKING.
1t was the belief of the inspectors that it
was absolutely dangerous to proceed
further. but they decided TO finish the work
themselves. A hole has been drilled into
the Hill Farm mine, and at IL o'clock the
inspectors started on their perilous
search. They have taken their lives
in their own hands and may
never see daylight again. 1t is feared that
the mine is on fire all through, or else filed
with smoke. In either case the danger is
very great. 1t is Of character, too, that
tries to the utmost the courage of man. In
the dark, with tons of loose earth above
them, a false step or any kind of move may
bring death IN an instant.

trouble in that city state that a detachment
of Turkish soldiers searched the church

ensued one Turkish officer, four Armenians

on both sides were wounded. A party OF

Heavy Exports of Gold to Europe
Also Having an Unfavorabie Infiu-
ence-Wool Weaker in the Interior
Markets-The General Level of Prices
Somewhat Lower.
NEW YORK, June 27.-R. @. Dun e. Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: "The pro-
longed uncertainties regarding legislation,
which have by no means diminished during
the past week, aud a continuance of gold
exports have an unfavorabe effect upon
business. While the volume Of trade, as
indicated by the special reports Of the bank
exchanges at interior cities and by railroad
earnings, continues larger than in the same
month OF any previous year. the prospect
for the future is rendered less satisfactory
by industrial hesitation and by doubt in
regard to the mon etary outlook.
COLDS RUSH TO GERMANY.
The movement of gold to Germany is
understood TO be connected with the opera
lions OF bankers in placing heavy South
American loan. but could hardly occur,
even under special circumstances, If there
we're not on the part of foreign capitalists
some realizing, or less investment than
usual In American securities. / dustrial
hesitation results from the delay of legisia-
ton and increased uncertainty regarding
the outcome
Wool is distinctly weaker in the interior
and at eastern markets. and disposition is
shown to meet the needs OF manufacturers.
IL Is felt that the greater part of the year
will now be required to clear the markets
OF the supplies of foreign goods under the
present duties, even II the proposed tariff
should be adopted, while the prospect Of its
adoption seems to many less clear.
Cotton has declined one-quarter of a
cent, with Improving crop prospects, but
is still remarkably high"
GENERAL LEVEL OF PRICES.
"The general level of prices is lower in
part because OF the reaction from the many
speculations which the prospect Of un-
limited coinage engendered. In all reports,
whether north or south, there is note
worthy absence of complaint about col
lections, and the money markets are
fully supplied. The gold exports have
caused no change in call rates here, but
banks have but small reserve for mid
summer. The continued depression in
stocks, and the failure thus far to settle the
railroad wars tend to discourage foreign
investments, upon whom uncertainty about
silver legislation has also some influence.
"The business failures during the last
week in the United States number l7S, and
in Canada "A. Ia the corresponding week
of 1889 there were 1874 failures in the United
States and 81 in Canada"

CROPS IN APPLING.

The Prospect Better than at ANY Time
in Ten Years,
BAxLEY, Ca, June 27.--The crop pros
pect in Appling county has not been better
at this season for the last ten years. Corn
is in full ear and an abundant harvest very
promising. Cotton is far above the aver
age. The acreage in cultivation is greater
than heretofore, and should the season con-
tinue favorable awhile longer the sea island
cotton crop will probably show an increase
Of 40 per cent. in yield over any previous
year. Cane is good, but owing to low prices
ruling for syrup for several years past the
acreage has been very much reduced. There
will be only an average crop Of sweet
potatoes.
