Gone After the Runaway.

SAN FRANCISCO, May ia morn
ing paper states that when the Charles
ton sailed on Saturday morning it was
under scaled orders. A cipher dispatch
was received by Capt. Remy at midnight
Friday. 1t took over three hours to
translate the dispatch, and at 4 o'clock
in the morning all visitors were order
ed ashore and the Charleston hastily
put to sea.
The Charleston Is provisioned and
coaled for a long cruise, and insteal. of
going outside to try her guns, as was
the general suppositiOn. it is stated that
she has gone In pursuit of the CHILEAN
steamer Itata. with orders to capture
her. If the Charleston does not catch
her, the orders are to keep on until Ad.
miral Brown is encountered in CHILEAN
waters.
The transfer of arms, ammunition,
etc, from the schooner Robert andMIn.
ME to the 1tata was not completed until
Friday afternoon, so that the insurgent
vessel has only a start Of thlrty-six
hours. The Charleston has not yet re-
turned to this port, as she would have
done by this time If she had just gone
outside simply for target practice.

JACKSON, Miss, May 8.-The Presi.
dent of the Mississippi Confederate
Monument Association has received
the following letter from Mrs. JEFF

in reference to the unwilling of the
monument in this city in June:
"When the proposal was made to erect
a monument we feared years must
elapse before 1t could be placed In po-
sition and finished; but the devotion
and energy OF the ladies who undertook
the work have achieved an unexpected
triumph, and he who has passed away
since It's inception and whom youhaye
honored with a conspicuous place upon
the pedestal had intense interest in See
ing the completion of your noble work.
To see his statue there, honored by the
people who confided SO much inohim,
who knew and therefore loved him
best. will be the greatest qualification
to his daughter and myself"

A Terrible Mine Explosion.

CLAHKsBURa, w. VA, May T.
This morning about s O'Clock, at the
Ocean coal mines, northeast of this city,
owned by Wilson, Black IL Sheridan, O
terrific explosion of gas occurred.
The report was heard for many miles
and brought a throng OF people from all
tho surrounding country to the vicinity
of the disaster. Forty-one men had de-
scended in the mine and about forty more
were waiting to desceud when The catas.
trophe took place.
Two great clouds Of smoke and a large
volume of water we're forced from the
two entrances to the mine located about
n thousand feet apart, and there was
no idea that any of the men would come
out alive, but a resculng party started
Immediately after the explosion. and
thirty-seven Of the men were got out
alive, they have been in a part Of the
mine remote from the chamber where
the gas was lgnited.
The other four we're instantly killed.
The mine at once took fire and Is burn
ing furiously and there is no hope Of OBJ
tanning the bodies. Had the explosion
occurred fifteen minutes later forty lives
would have been sacrificed.

no the Legal END.

CHARLESTON, May 8.-The Coosaw
case came up In court again to-day. BY
agreement of council on both sides it
was decided to postpone the hearing
until the 25th, when 1t is hoped that
Chief Justice Fuller ana JUICE Bond,
together with Judge Simonton, will be
able to settle the matter. Attorney
General Pope submitted u motion for a
remand from the Federal to the State
Court. Sever al other motions on behalf
were also submitted. The story OF the
removal of the Coosaw plant to Florida,
published recently in the Jacksonville
papers, does not Q to be believed
here. IL Is possible that the Coosaw
Company may send some of Its plant to
Florida, but It Is stated on good author
ity that the octopus will continue the
fight TO its legal end.

Inspec,,on ut Fairmount.

PARAMOUNT, N. D., via Sewall, Sept.
9.-There was a surprise party here to-
day. 1t was thought that after the SER
vice of restraining orders on the inspec-
tors by the United States court on re.
quest of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific. no more attempt would be
made by the inspectors to carry out the
law until the court rendered its de.
cision. Chief Inspector Wineman.
however, seems to intend to carry out
every feature of the law as far as pos.
sible, and as Paramount was named as
one of the inspectors points, he came
here today accompanied by Deputy
Ellsworth. On the arrival of the south
bound freight train on the Chioago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul road they de-
manded of the conductor that they be
allowed to inspect the cars of wheat on
the train. The conductor, who had
previously been instructed. refused to
allow the cars to be opened or the train
to be delayed. The train went on with
out the grain being inspected. The in
spectors then went to the National Ele.
vator Co.. where they inspected one car
of wheat. but the elevator agent refused
to pay the charges for inspection. They
are now waiting for a freight train on
the 500 so as to treat all the railroads
fair and give all a chance to kick if they
want to do 80.

we had last year. The Sisseton and

KANSAS C1TY, Sept. 9.-Ever since
the wheat harvest in Kansas was begun
receipts of wheat at this place has been
enormous. Many of the farmers with
big crops were anxious to market their
wheat at the earliest possible moment
and secure ready money to pay their
debts. Up to within tho past week
railroads have been able to handle crops
with moderate promptness, but since
then receipts have been so heavy that a
blockade of serious dimensions now ex-
lists. This morning there were in the
Missouri Pacific yards 500 cars of loaded
wheat waiting to be forwarded. in Santa
Fe 400 cars, in the Union Pacific Yards
$50 and in the yards of all other roads
about 800. Reports from various points
in Kansas state that loaded cars of
wheat are waiting on switches for trans.
p~ortation. The railroads are doing ey-
erything to break the blockade. All
the spare engines have been brought
into the service of moving the wheat
and it is expected that in q few DAYS all
the cars of loaded wheat will be for
warded with reasonable dispatch.
