Nh Thought Of Evacua,Ing Egypt.

LONDON, Nov. 1O.-Lord Salisbury
created a decided sensation at guild
hall last evening. His positive declara-
tion that there was no Siought Of evac-
uating Egypt was regarded as direct
challenge to Gladstone on that issue,
which Gladstone had raised at New
castle. The lord mayors banquet is
non-partisan, but ministers usually
take the opportunity to drop significant
hints of what their policy is to be,
especially when it is likely to be graft
flying to the holders OF sonsols, such as
most of those present at a lord mayors
banquet generally are. Mr.. Glad
stones utterance at Newcastle has
been received with such decided disfa-
vor bv liberals as we'll as tories that
the applause which welcomed Lord
salisbury's emphatic declaration was
NOT a surprise.

NANTICoKE, Pa, Nov. "a terrible
explosion of gas occurred, yesterday'at-
ternoon, in No. shaft of the Susquc-
hanna Coal Co.'S mine, causing the iu-
slant death of six men and so badly
burning and injuring several others
that it is feared they will die.
When the news of the disaster reached
this town, there was great excite.
ment, as it was feared many had been
killed, and the relatives and friends OF
those known to be employed in tho
mine fiocked to the scene. While they
waited for. news from the shaft, the
scene was narrowing in the extreme.
women and children ran hither and
thlther, wringing their hands, wailing
and weeping and seeking news and
sympathy from relatives and acquaint-
ances in the crowd. 1t was soon
learned that, owing to the fact that
this was Sunday, there were but four
teen men at work in the mine at the
time of the explosion. These were all
either killed or badly hurt The in
jured were in such condition that they
could not be removed from the mine,
and il is feared all will die.
