The first of July, the date for the ratifica-
ton of the Congo treaty, has passed, and the
treaty must fail unless by unanimous con-
sent an extension of time can be obtained.
The treaty was drawn up for the purpose of
uniting the nations lof Christendom for the
suppression of the slave and liquor trades.
All the nations but the United States ratified
the treaty in time; but our senate, in its
muddled condition last winter omitted to
take action. Our government Ehas .been en-
deavoring to get the time for ratifying ex-
tended until the assembling of the senate
next December. but France, meanwhile. has
gotten into some complications with Portu-
gal, and 1t is very doubtful if general con-
cert of the European nations can be obtained
again without great difficulty.

Whether Mr.. Quay is guilty Of all the
charges made against him is of little conse-
quence as regards the demand made upon
him by the Philadelphia Republicans. He
is not asked to plead guilty to these charges
or any of them. he is simply asked to cease
to continue to pose as leader of the Repub-
llcans OF his State. AS 1t is obvious to
every one that his continued leadership
means the desertion in large number of the
rank and file of the party that ought to be
sufficient to induce him to yield to the re-
quest, especially as the inevitable result of
his refusal will be his deposal BY his party.

Some testimony as to the effect of band
concerts on Sunday in the public parks OF
our large cities is given by the New York
Evening Post. and certainly it does not seem
to justify the apprehension of those who
think that they will tend to gather together
noisy crowds Says the Post:
Anyone who is disquieted as to the future of
our great cities willIfnd much to reassure him in
a visit to Central Park in New York or Prospect
Park In Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon In mid.
summer. These great pleasure grounds attract
immense throngs of people drawn almost entIreiv
from the ranks OF those who work hard for COM
paratlyely small pay, aud in the vicinity Of the

the latter part OF the afternoon, many thousands
are massed. The most noteworthy features If

be forced to wonder whether he has NOT been
wrong in maintaining that it would be better To

rest. =
We do not quote this as a justification for
band concerts in Portland, but merely as an
answer to those who have claimed that such
concerts have always drawn together noisy
crowds and become public nuisance. We
are well aware that the conditions prevail
ing In the metropolis, especially those which
surround what are commonly called the
lanoring classes, are far different from those
existing e, In this city. The homes of many of

The Coosaw Case Continued.

CHARLESTON, May 8.-The Coosaw
case came up in court to-day. BY
agreement of counsel on both sides 1t
was decided to postpone the hearing
until the 18th, when it is hoped that
Chief Sustce Fuller and Judge Bond,
together with Judge Simonton, will be
able to settle the matter, Attorney
General Pope submitted motion for
a remand from the Federal to the State
court. Several other motions in behalf
of the State and OF the COosaW com
pany were alec submitted. The story
of the removal of the BOOSaW plant to
Florida, published recently in the Jack
sonville papers, does not seem to be
believed here. 1t IS possible that the
Coosaw company may send some Of it's
plant to Florida but it is stated on
good authority that the octopus will
continue to fight to it's legal end.

A Terrible Minu explosion.

CLARKsBURG, w. VA, May =
This morning. about S O'Clock, at the
Ocean coal mines, northeast of this city,
owned by Wilson, Black & Sheridan, a
terrific explosion of gas occurred.
The report was heard for many miles
and brought throns OF people from all
the surrounding country to the vicinity
of the disaster. Forty-one mon 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 large
volume of water were forced from the
two entrances to the mine located about
one thousand feet apart, and there was
no idea that any of the men would come
out alive, but rescung party started
Immediately after the explosion. ant
thirty-seven Of the men were got Out
alive, they have been in part Of the
mine remote from the chamber where
the gas was lgnited.
The other four were instantly killed
The nine 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 lator forty live
would have been sacrificed.

Gone After tho Runaway.

SAN FRANCISCO, May ia morn
ing paper states that when the Charles
ton sailed on Saturday morning it was
under scaled orders. \ 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 long cruise. and instead Of
going outside to try her guns, as was
the general supposition. it is stated that
she has gone in pursuit of the Chilian
steamer ltata. 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 Chilian
waters.
The transfer of arms, ammunition,
etc, from the schooner Robert and Min
ME to the Itata was not completed until
Frilay afternoon, so that the insurgent
vessel has only start of thirty 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.

the two alleged stolen horses together,

Travelled short distance Lewis, who
was much larger than the officer, sud
denly turned III his saddle and dealt

for the time being rendered him un-
conscious. and also diSmounted him.
Lewis then dismounted, secured the
officers pistol and proceeded to beat
him up in an unmerciful manner. Con

and finding his pistol gone, pleaded
with his late prisoner for his life. The

account of his career since his arrival

OF his employment by number of re-

" ith several famous criminal cases, in
some of which he assisted the State.
H. then goes over the Old Matranga
l'rOVcuZanO case and finally the Hen

the five Italians who were tried for
numbering IIennessy were innocent.
O'MalleI says: "As to my theory Of the
murder have one OF course, but in the
absence of any direct evidence ! should
not like to say what that theory is.
1t is certainly not any Malta or dagO
business. Perhaps | may, at some tu-
ture day, speak further on this subject,
at which time | will have something to
substantate the statement | may make.
will advance 10 theory now, as by so
doing may throw suspicion on porties
who may be pei fectly innocent" In
conclusion O'Malley says: Il desire to
say this conscious of my innocence, and
in opposition to the advice of my friends
refused to leave the city, and surrend-
cred as soon as had intimation that |
had been indicted. | am not afraid OF
an investigation and only ask for fair
trial. My life has been threatened and
1t is being bruited about that after l
slJall have been allowed to enjoy form
of trial, if the jury should be weak
enough or foolish enough to acquit me,
