SPRING HILL COAL MINES, n. S.,
Feb. 2l.-An explosion took place in
the west side Of the east slope this after
noon. Already five dead bodies have
been taken out. The victims are En-
nest Blamberge, H. Armshaw, Joseph
Turner and two boys not identified. A
resculng party is now putting up brat
tice for the purpose of restoring venti
lation in the mine. 1t is feared that a
great many miners have been killed,
but thus far it is impossible to reach
more than the bodies of the five per-
sons, and the rescuerS will not be able
to get near the imprisoned men until
some Of the piles of debris caused
by the fall of the roof are
taken away. 1t is thought that
fully thirty men and boys are still in
the mine. Among the missing is Man
ager Swift, who has not been seen since
the explosion. The bodies of the TWO
boys brought up are so badly disfigured
as not to be recognizable. Some of the
injured persons taken out are not likely
to survive very long. The rescuers say
that great many horses have been
killed. Miners who have come up from
levels are fiocked in the locality of the
explosion, with large piles of debris,
consisting mainly Of timber, knocked
out by the terrible force of the eX-
plosion, which was felt above ground.
10 add to the horror of the situation the
deadly black damp has made its appear
ance in the mine.
The loss of life caused by the expo-
sion is appalling. 1t is now feared that
seventy men and boys are dead. Twen-
ty-nine bodies have been recovered.
Those brought up dead are William III.
Turner, Herbert Armishaw, Ernest
Brainbridge, James Morrier, Allan Nc
Kinnon, Laughlin McKinnon, James

and William Mckee. The work of re-
covering the bodies is being pushed for
ward. Many of the bodies taken out
are almost unrecogniZable. The dead
are being identified by sorrowing
friends and relatives amid heartrendlng
scenes.

FROTHED AT THE MOUTH.
Horrible Death Frop1 the Bite ofa
Doc

New ALBANY, Ind, Feb. 21.-Nelson
Pyle, aged thirty-two years, with wife
and two children, was bitten by dog
Dec. 9, 1890. The wound healed so rap
idly that Mr.. Pyle felt no uneasiness.
Saturday last he complained OF nervous
ness, and this nervous feeling continued
until Wednesday, when he was seized
with slight convulsiOns. A physician
was called and administered opiates.
He slept we'll Wednesday night, but
Thursdaythe commissions returned much
more seriously than before, and three
physicians were called. They were not
long i'll diagnosing the case as one
of unmistakable hydrophobla. From
Thursday afternoon until his death yes
terday afternoon, the convulsions were
almost continuous. They were accom-
panied by frOthing at the mouth, snap
ping with the teeth like dog, and try
ing to bite those who watched over and
assisted him. 1t at times took four or
five men to hold him in the bed, and
they had to take the precaution of COW
ering their arms with heavy pieces OF
bedclothing to prevent him biting them.
His SufferingS were agOniZng dnring
the last twelve hours of his life, and no
OpiateS could be administered to quiet
or stupefy him OH account Of the stead
lily recurring commissions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-When the
house met the point of no quorum was
raised, but a quorum being disclosed
the clerk proceeded with the reading of
the journal. Mr. Fithian and Mr..
Springer demanded the reading of the
journal in full, which drew forth the re-
mark from Mr.. Cannon that he did not
know that there were two speakership
candidates from Illinois. Mr.. Fithian
declared that the clerk was skipping
some of the names on the roll call.
Mr.. NJ illiken, of Maine-The clerk is read
ing every name.
Mr.. Fiihlan-I say he is not.
Mr.. Milliken-And say he is.
Mr. Fithian-And l say you are saying
what is not true.
The reading was concluded at 12:45,
aud Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio, moved the

the previous question. He yielded. how
ever, to Mr.. Turner, of Georgia, who
stated that in the journal he was noted

In as dignified manner as he could.
Mr.. Clements. of Georgia; Mr.. Blanch-

souri,, and Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia, made
similar statements, the latter saying
that he wished to call the attention OF
the country to the manner in which the
presiding officer made up and falsified
the record.
The house was Immediately in a
tumult, half dozen Democrats being
on their feet demanding recognition
and Mr.. Mckinley declining to yield to
any gentleman to attack the officers of
the house; and in the midst of the con-
fusion, Mr.. Spinola. of New York plac-
ing strip of paper on his shoulder,
threateningly turned that shoulder to-
wards the Republicans until the speaker
pro TEN (Alr. Payson) called him to
order. But the house would not be
pacfied, and for some minutes the
excitement ran high. A refusal by
Mr.. Mckinley to yield to Mr.. McMillin
made the latter gentleman, with violent
gesticulations, denounce the action of
the majority, though his voice was

Is Discussed in the Capital OF
Spain.

MADRID, Feb. 2l.-At meeting held
on Thursday last, the cabinet discussed
Secretary Blaine's proposed basis for a
commercial treaty between the United
States and Cuba. The Duke of Tetuan,

OF the great benefits which would ac-
crue to Cuban sugar and tobacco plant
erS. The other ministers, however.
notably SenOr COs-Gayon, minister Of
finan {, energetically opposed the
treaty, which. they contended, would
Hood Cuba with American goods, and
would ruin the Spanish exports of
wheat and flour. and other articles.
The duke of Tetuan and SenOr Cos
GayOD hold daily conferences in regard
to the matter, but as yet they have
failed to reach compromise.
