The immediate object for which the Dor

not yet been decided upon.
The portion for the New Haven arch
deaconry will be used for missionary
work.

Six Miners Killed and Several In
red. ~9y
.NANTIcoKE, Pa, Nov. 8.-This after
noon a terrible explosion of gas occurred
in No. shaft of the Susquehanna Coal
company, killing six miners and badly in
juring several others. A large crowd, in
Guiding relatives and friends of The men
employed in the mine, soon gathered at
the extreme. Owing to the fact that this
was Sunday, there were but fourteen men
at work. 1t is feared several of the in
-jured cannot survive, some of them being
in such condition that they could not
bear removal from the mine The men
were using safety lamps, as it was known
that there was gas in the mine. The acct
dent was caused by the explosion of a
safety lamp, the flames of which ignited
the gas. The mine, which is one of the
best operated by the Susquehanna Coal
company, is not seriously damaged.
When the crowd attracted by the news
of the disaster gathered at the opening of
the mine, the wives of the men who were
imprisoned wept frantically. A searching
party was organized as soon as possible
and went down the mine. They
struggled with the dangerous after
damp and after almost losing them
selves in the cavern cropping in the
dark came upon the bodies of the victims.
The force of the explosion had demolished
several mine cars standing on the tracks,
and the victims had been dashed against
the walls of the mine. Some were be-
headed and others disembowled. 1t was a
fearful spectacle The remains were taken
to the mouth of the shaft, and from there
to the mems late homes in ambulances
and on stretchers. After each one follow
ed the mans wife and children.
LATER-Four of the injured have died,
Havell Johneski, leaving a widow and
family of small children; John Maloney,
widow and three children; David R.
James and Henry Williams. Four more
are badly injured.
The safety lamp exploded while one of
the men was attempting to change the air
current.

KUSK,S ANNUAL REPORT.

The Abundant Weld of Crops-Values
Imports.
Agriculture Rusk, in his third annual re-
port says that Notwithstanding the abund-
ant yield Of crops this year, values are we'll
sustained, and estimates that the increase
in the value of agricultural products over
last year will be not less than $500, 900, 900.
He states that during the first three
months of the present fiscal year cur ex-
ports in cereals alone have aggregated $76,-
600, 900, and the indications now are that
the sales abroad of the surplus from our
farms will, during the present year, large
ly exceeds those of any previous year.
He notes the increase by some $2S, 00O-
900 in the imports of agricultural
products the first ten months
under the present law, compared
with the same period during the last year
Of the old law, but emphasizes the fact
that the increase is confined largely to
articles not competing with home products,
such as sugar, tea, coffee, etc. He notes a
decrease in tobacco from II, 100000 to 16,
100000, falling oft in foreign barley of
nearly $500, 000;in eggs, 125, 000;in horses,
a falling off of nearly 100000, and grad
ual decline in the imports of all live stock.
The imports of hides, admitted free, he
states, causes great depreciation in prices
realized for hides of home production, and
he recommends that the duty pro-
vided for in section of the
tariff act approved October ] 1890,
be imposed in all cases where the
countries from which such hides are ship
ped have not granted equal concessions in
regard to the admission of the agricultural
products of the United States.
He speaks at some length of the
withdrawal by the governments of Germa
ny and Italy of the prohibition against
American pork and expresses appreciation
of the presidents interest in the matter
without which, he says, this grand result
could never have been attained.
The secretary congratulates the country
upon the success of the experiments in the
extraction of sugar from sorghum, and
says there seems to be no reason why VIZ
should not look forward to the day whe1
the 500, 900, 900 paid by Americans to for
eign producers for sugars should be re
turned to the pockets of our own people

Mexico with its grand natural scenery,
its semi tropical climate, it's interesting
history and its strange civilization, is on
the whole the most attractive

FINEST. FERRYBOAT AFLOAT.

r
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
in the Lead-Vhere the Comfort of
Passengers is Concerned.
The Cincinnati. the handsome new
double decked ferryboat of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad company, made its trial trip
Friday. About 200 prominent railroad
and newspaper men were guests of the
company, and were well taken care of by
Samuel Carpenter, eastern passenger agent.
and other officials of the company.
The boat is the first one of the new feet
that is to take the place of the old boats
plying between New York and jersey
City, and she is so designed that passen-
gers who land from trains in the new
glass covered train-shed will be transferred
directly to the second deck of the boat,
and when she lands on the New York side,
to the second story of the ferry house,
from which they will be enabled to cross
West street by means of bridge, and be
landed in the heart of the down town dis
trict.
The new boat is superbly finished in
every particular. The upper cabin is one
spacious saloon, 81 feet long, finished in
pink and aluminium and lighted with elab-
crate silver and crystal electroliers. The
two lower cabins are each IA feet long
and are furnished in two shades of pearl
gray and aluminium, the effect being very
| artistic. The woodwork is all of mahoga-
ny and every part of the boat is lighted by
electricity. The heating is accomplished
with Sturtevant blower, which insures
an equable temperature and perfect venti-
lation.
| The dimensions of the hull are: Length
over guards, 206 feet; length of hull, 20C
| feet; beam over guards, 65 feet; beam Of
hull, 46 feet; draft, 10 feet 10 inches; dis
placement, 800 tons.
The entire boat is built of iron, and fire
is an impossibility. Her motive power
consists of a compound engine of 500
horse power, and the boat is steered by
the Williamson patented gear
Every precaution forsafsty has been alst
adopted, and the Cincinnati is probably
the finest ferryboat afloat.

THE SEASONS OUTINGS.

The advance of the season brings with it
the opening of the seaside hotels, the in
vitation of the proprietor of the mountain
resort for his patrons to revisit him, and
the alluring summer excursion prospectus
of the railway passenger agent. All these
have blossomed with the influence of the
hot weather more promptly even than the
roses or the fruits of summer From
Barnegat to Cape May, and from Mt.
Washington to Colorado Springs, the en-
terprising landlord will from to-day put
himself and his encourage in shape to vel
come the coming guest, and to put off the
other part of the adage until the guest is
no longer profitable.
From the advertisements of the various
resorts which bid for the patronage of
Pittsburgers in to-day's DISPATCH, and
the correspondence on the same topic of
the season, it is to be perceived that many
are showing praiseworthy enterprise in en-
larging and improving their accommoda-
tions, and in surrounding their resorts
with new inducements and entertainments
for visitors. All these attractions will
have their influence in drawing the dollars
of the public; but everyone will recognize
that the main amusement will be in the
people who are found at the water places.
The travel to summer resorts Is an index
of the prosperity of the people. The peo-
pie who go there may be good deal like
the foam on the beer or the bead on the
whisky, emptiness in themselves; but they
are indications of the forces in the body of
the beverage There will be the
usual people at the seaside who
put themselves in evidence with stunning
bathing suits and never go near the water.
There will be the proportion of visitors to
the mountains who testify their love for
the everlasting hills by sitting on hotel
piazzas and chronicling small beer; but
they are simply the gaseous manifestation
of the force in the great mass of American
people who are able to take well-earned
summer vacation and enjoy it sensibly.
Thus there is plenty of material for the
dress of the satirist at the summer resort;
and at the same time there is abundance
that can meet with hearty approval The
spectacle of a nation that can in so large
part spend considerable share of the
heated term in recreation is a pleasant one.
the readers of THE DISPATCH
take their summer outing in modest camps
along the shores of the Monongahela, or
among the costly pleasures of Saratoga or
Newport, they can be heartily wished a
pleasant summer and return to their
work with rich store of recuperated
energy.

LAW FOR ONE SIDE.

A very remarkable view of the relative
rights of capital and labor is expressed by
the following paragraph from an editorial
in a New York cotemporary on the history
Of social movements in England "Be-
tween 1924 and 1866 large number of
illegal societies for maintaining the rate of
wages and so on were established in Eng
land under the name of trades unions.
These were met by perfectly legal manu-
facturers' protection societies for keeping
down the rate of wages" and so on.
This is beautiful expression of i'm
partiality on the subject of the legal rights
of employers and employed. 1t was
illegal for the men to organize to raise the
rate of wages; but for manufacturers to
unite to crowd them down to the starva-
ton point, and to prevent the force of
competition for labor from benefting the
masses, was perfectly legal" If this ever
was or ever could be the case, it would re-
duce to the rank Of sober and rather con-
seTvative statement of fact the old Socialist
cry that there is lone law for the poor and
the other for the rich"
The fundamental theory of that kind of
law would be the burdening and i'm
poverishment Of the masses for the benefit
Of the privileged few. That kind of law.
long maintained breeds revolution.
