DOM PEDRO'S LAST HOURS.

Erazlisns Regret His Death, but Will
Not Tolerate Any of His Family.
PARIS, Dec. THE accounts of the
scenes at the death-bed of Dom Pedro
show that to the very last his thoughts
were OF the country over which he had
SO long ruled and whose welfare, des-
pite the treatment accorded to him and
his family. he had SO closely at heart.
The ex-emperor was conscious to the
end. At almost the last moment he
exhorted the Countess D'Eu, his daugh-
ter and formerly heiress apparent
to the Brazilian throne, and
her husband to bear up against
sorrow and to pray with him
for the greatness and prosperity
of Brazil. The Countess DEu has no
present intention to protest to the Bra
lillian government against her exile
from the country, but she maintains
all her rights in connection with the
crown. She says she is ready to re-
turn to Brazil at the first summons
sent her.
Immediately after the death of the
ex-emperor all present in the room
knelt and kissed the hand of Countess
DEu who, upon her fathers death, in
stantly became invested with all rights
to the throne of Brazil
A Rio de Janeiro dispatch says that
the news of Dom Pedro's death was re-
ceived with sincere grief by the Brazil
ians But while all unite in regret for
the former emperor there is deep and
strong determination that tina e,n.
pire should never be revived.
Should the Princess Isabella and the
Count d'Eu make and persist in any
demand for the imperial succession the
result will probably be the confscation

seventy-Five Lives Thought to Have Been
Lost by an Explosion in q French Col

ST ET1ENNE, Dec. THE noise of
two terrific explosions was heard here
Sunday Afternoon at 1890 O'clock COM
ing in the direction of one of the COL
liery pits belonging to the company
AS between sixty and eighty men
were down the shaft, the utmost
CONSERVATION prevailed. Doctors were
summoned and relief parties organized.
Enormous crowds surged round the pit
mouths, and the relatives of those who
were known to be at work below made
frantic efforts to pass the police line.
The work of relief was extremely
difficult to carry on because the ex-
plosion had affected the neighboring
shafts and rendered them impossible.
Another explosion took place in
the lower factory shaft. Up to
o'clock nothing was known
of the number of killed and
wounded Al last the first relief party
went down composed of nine men, but
the cage had descended only 70 feet
when it was enveloped in suffocating
smoke and gas, and the men could go
no further, SO the engineer in charge
gave orders to ascend to the surface.
Later on seven men were brought to
the mouth of the pit badly injured and
one died. Seventy-four men still re-
main below, and there is no hope for
their lives on account of the great
mass of earth dislodged by the explo-
sion, which has completed buried them.
ga. MT has been ascertained that
seventy-tive miners have persisted. The
wives. children and relatives of the en-.
tombed miners still surround the
