AMERICAN GRAIN.
The Import Duty Reduced in Ger
many, Austria and Italy.

BERLIN, Dec. THE German Austrian
commercial treaty has been signed in
Vienna. The remaining treaties will be
signed during the coming week. They
were discussed by the Bundesrath Satur-
day. There is no doubt that the Reichstag
will ratify the treaty. America will derive
the greatest advantage from them.
The BOerse't Courier says that the duties
on grain will be reduced from 80 to 35
shillings per ton. Americas favored
nation" position depends upon the Clay
treaty of 1870. Russia, excluded by the
favored nation" Clause, will be adversely
affected by the new treaties, and will be
virtually compelled to make overtures to
Germany to prevent the total exclusion of
Russian grain from the German market.

treaties between Italy and Germany and

Seventy-three Men Dead in a Mine
in France,

PARIS, Dec Tt has been ascertained
that seventy-five miners perished at the
mine explosion at st. Etienne.
The explosion occurred in the Puts de

Etienne Colliery Company. Immediately
after the explosion dense volumes of evil
smelling smoke issued from the mouths Of
this and connecting pit. Fortunately
the day was being observed "a a fete day
and comparatively few men were at work
on an ordinary working day the loss of
life would have been appalling.
When the first attempt was made to re-
scue the imprisoned men the rescuers were
driven back by the foul fumes that poured
from the shaft and for nearly an hour
nothing could he done to aid the unfortu-
nate miners In the pit.
At the very outset the rescuers encount-
cred serious obstacle, as the main gallery
was found TO have collapsed, thus pre-
venting access to the imprisoned men.
After working several hours in relays the
party OF rescuers had cleared away por-
tion of the debris, and few minutes later
they came across the bodies of four min
ers. The men, although unconscious, were
still alive, and were quickly sent TO the
surface, where they soon revived
A short time afterward, another rescu-
ing party which had entered the connect
ing pit sent TO the surface four more of the
victims, all OF whom were quickly restored
to consciousness. The second party of
rescue, however, found that it was utterly
impossible TO reach the other imprisoned
men and there is hardly a doubt that all
of the latter have succumbed To the pois-

Trainmaster Kennedy Talks About
the Accident at East Thompson.
ESPECIAL To THE NEWS. |


BosToN. Dec. IA News representative
had long conversation Saturday with +.
A. Kennedy, No. 100 Summer street, Bos-
ton, who is trainmaster on the New York
and New England Railroad, and had full
charge of clearing the wreck at East
Thompson, and he stated positively that
no passenger was burned in the Pullman
car Midland or the Long Island express.
He gave particular instruction 10 his
men to hverhaul the debris piece by
piece, and the only things discovered were
the clothes and watch which were claimed
by Mr.. Chandler of Brookline, who
jumped from the car leaving his clothes
behind. Not a piece of human bone could
he find. Mr.. Kennedy answered every
question asked in a free and cour-
teous manner, and seemed desirous
of telling the whole aud exact truth.
He gave as his explanation of the acci-
dent two causes. First, Conductor Sib-
ley, of the local freight, should have
tagged his train, and Conductor Dorman
had orders TO run under full control.
Dorman claims he was running fifteeh
miles an hour, which is under full control,
but could not see on account of the fog.
Those are the only two acts of negligence
that could have any bearing on the acci-
dent.
