SENATORS HAVE A TILT.


NIessrs. Biscock ane German Talk About
New YOrk's Census.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-There was a
lively debate in the Senate between Sen
ators Hiscock and German over the cen
sus enumeration of New York. The old
story of the census enumeration was
gone over and Senator Hiscock said: az
have some interest in New York city on
this floor, though do not claim to rep.
resent it like the Senator from Maryland"
Mr.. German replied: "The Senator
has no right to use such a remark; it is
babyish."
Mr.. German believed that the Supe r
intendent of the Census had done his
duty fairly and well, but nevertheless
was convinced that the enumeration of
New York city was defective to the eX-
tent of 100000, and that no sufficient
reason had been given why the request
of the State and municipal authorities
for recount had not been complied
with.
Mr.. Hiscock said: ''The New York
census was taken under law enacted
by Democratic Congress and approved
by Democratic President. The Super
intendent of the Census was in no way
responsible for this law, but he followed
it out faithfully, and in the opinion of
all fair minded citizens of the State the
enumeration of New York city, taken in
June last, was a correct census of the
inhabitants then resident there

A Thorough Examination to be Made of
the Cause of the Disaster.
Mt. PLEASANT, Pa, Jan. 29.-While
the recovery of the dead and the distress
of the living engrossed nearly all
thought for the past "a hours, steps
have been taken for a thorough exam
ination of the cause Of the disaster.
Tho coroner empanelled a jury, and a
preliminary examination or the mine is
being made. Not one of the witnesses
of the explosion survives, and in this re-
spect the disaster is one of the most re-
markable in history
The questions now uppermost are, was
the explosion the result of carelessness
or was the mine unsafef The officials
of the FL. Q. Frick Coke Company, the
owners of the mine, profess to be posi-
tive that the mine was safe, and do not
charge carelessness upon any of the
men who are dead.
The workmen around here seeem to feel
that the explosion was an unavoidable
accident, and attach no blame to the
company. Supt. Keighley could not
offer any explanation of the explosion.
He said it was caused by fire damp, but
where it originated or how it accumu.
lated he could not understand. The
Mammoth mine had always been free
from gas, he said. 1t was remarkable
in that respect. The mine is not injured
to any extent. The damage is limited to
a terrible and irreparable loss of life.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, Jan. ga
village of sorrow aptly describes this
place to-day. Hourly since the terrible
explosion in Tricks Mammoth No. ]
mine the agony has been piled up.
"Forty," "sixty," eighty" zone hun.
dred and ten"-these were the respective
estimates of the miners killed. Now the
owner of the coke works, Mr.. ia. &C. Prick,
supported by an influx of widows and
orphans, adds to the terrifying list. He
has been notified that 10 bodies were
discovered up to 12 o'clock, and that
there were in all 100 men working in the
mine at the time of the accident. Nine
of these escaped with their lives; some Of
them badly injured, the rest, or 151 men ,
were either killed outright or suffocated
by the terrible afterdamp.
Agonizing indeed was it to watch the
efforts of the bereaved in their endeavors
to identify their beloved husbands, sons
and fathers.

Bringing Up the Bodies.
Heartrending scenes were witnessed by
the spectators about the mouth of the
shaft. Dead bodies were brought up every
few minutes, and the crowd simply fell
back to allow the men carrying stretch
ers room to pass. Every corpse was COW
cred, and no one even ventured to inquire
which body it was, for they knew every
one in that part of the mine at the time
of the explosion was dead.
Weird Scene.
A young foreign-born woman cams
and gazed in the face of each body as il
lay on the porch. She finally stopped
and, with a heartrending wall, began
shaking the face and body of fine
looking young man, who was her hus
band. She patted his face and smooth ed
his hair, all the time speaking in hel
own language, and her tears streaming
down on his face.
1t was weird scene, all the dead ly
ing there, a crowd surrounding them
all under the Pickering light of an oil
lamp. An old man came along anG
said: "That is my boy, my poor boy
let me take him home to his mother,
and he helped to place the body in cot

SAN Francisco, Jan. 29.-John w.
Mackay makes the following statement
in regard to the encounter which oc-
CURED yesterday in the Nevada Bank be-
tween himself and G. w. Bonynge, a
capitalist, formerly a member of the
San Francisco Stock Exchange, and in
late years resident of London:
"Long ago suspected that Bonynge
was the instigator of certain attacks on
Mrs. Mackay, which appeared in certain
papers in New York and London. Hav-
ing secured proof that this was true, I
determined to punish him the first time
l met him.
yesterday, when entering the presi-
back door, of which I, as director, have
key, saw Bonynge sitting at a desk
with Mr.. Helliman. AS l entere d,
Bonynge turned and saw me. He had a
malignant look on his face, and made a
threatening movement.
81 struck out with my right and hit
him in the left eye. hit him again an
called upon him to put up his fists and
fight like a man. Instead of doin g
so he fell and clasped me about the
knees like a coward. Blood, which was
flowing freely from his nose, poured
all over my pantaloons and upon the
floor. My clerks then rushed in and re-
moved him.
1.-The sound thrashing he received he
well deserved for circulating those stories
about Mrs. Mackay. Pm not so handy
with my fists as used to be 25 years
ago, but l have little fight left in me
yet and will allow no man to malign me
or mine.''
Mr.. Mackay is around as usual, none
the worse for the affray, while Bonynge
is confined to his room nursing his black
and swollen eyes and several Commissions
elsewhere on his face.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Quay
is going to speak. For many months he
has been under charges from many
sources of corrupt asa criminal acts in
office, and he has steadily refused to
say syllable as to whether the accusa-
tions were true or false. The long ST.
lence he has kept, which has been ac-
copied by many persons as conclusive
evidence of his guilt, he is about to
break
He has prepared to every charge that
has been publicly made against him a
specific and, in some cases, an elaborate
reply, the whole of which is pronounced
by friend of Mr.. Quay's, who has seen
it, to be one of the most remarkable
documents in recent political history.
1t is now compiled, copied and ready to
be published whenever Mr.. Quay thinks
fit.
The medium through which Mr.. Quay
will give his version to the world is the
United States Senate, and within day
or two, perhaps tomorrow, if the occa-
sion is favorable, Mr.. Quay will rise in
the Senate to a question of personal
privilege, and startle the Senators with
a full statement of the facts as he views
them.
Although Mr.. Quay has never publicly
referred in any way to the charges that
have been made against him, it is said
by his personal and political friends, who
gave this information, that he has care
fully noted and preserved all these
charges as they have appeared, and al
ways intended at the proper time and
place, to reply to them.
He has declined to discuss them
through the newspapers, because he
couldn't reach all the public through
any one or a dozen papers, and for other
reasons, which the friend says, are good
and Su fliciant

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Mr. Hit, chair.
man of the House Committee on Forei gn
Affairs, has received telegram from Of
tawa telling him that Sir John Mac
donald is about to dissolve the Canadian
Parliament and to go the country in an
election on February % next. The issue
of the coming cambaign will be recip.
rocity, and the Liberals of the Dominion
are particularly anxious that Mr.. Hit
should get through his reciprocity reso-
luton in time to let it aid them in their
contest.
If they are able to show to the Cana.
dian people that the Hit resolution or re-
ciprocity has been passed by both houses
of Congress, and is in the nature of q
tender of more cordial relations with
Canada, they expect to be able to carry
the election and displace Sir John Mac
donald.
Mr.. Hit is not pushing his resolution
ON the floor as there is a disposition
among his Republican colleagues to call
it free trade move; but he is quietly
seeing the members, and he hopes to
have sufficient assurance to secure the
passage of the resolution during the lat,
ter days of the session. He had it passed
once before on the last day of the ses-
sion, but it failed to get through the
Senate. If iucan slip in the same way
