Standard OIL Trust.
New 'YoRK, March 1.-the announce
mont that the managers OF tho Standard
Oil trust have invited the certificate
holders to.voto on q motion to dissolve
tho trust has aroused wide interest and
q keen desire to know tho form under
which it is proposed to conduct the
enormous business OF tho concern.
When asked to-day whether tho trust
would be reorganized in some other
form, and what was the reason for tho
dissolution, S. 7. G. Dodd, the solicitor
for the trust, said: "No, wo have mo in.
tcntion OF reorganizinG the trust; our
purpose is to dissolve, not roorganizc.
This decision has been brought about
in part by the decision against the
trust in Ohio, but more largely by the
opposition and legislation against
trusts OF this sort in different states of
the union, and which has become bur-
dcnsome. .
"We think tho trust has been bon
eft to. everybody. Besides largely re-
ducins the price Of oil to the consumer,
it has enabled every person in our en-
ploy who Eas saved Il dollar, or got q
dollar, to share in tho profits OF the
trust, and in that way it has been Il

LONDON, March 1l.-Lord Salisbury's
delay in arranging for a renewal OF the
modus vivendi in the Berins Sea mat
ter has been a subject for private con-
sideration by the leaders OF the op-
position, resulting in decision not to
move in the matter until the policy of
tho government appears moro definite.
Mr. w. Lowther, parliamentary
secretary for foreign affairs, denies that
the most recent details OF the negotla-
tions have not yet reached the foreign
Office, but as the anxiety for an early
settlement becomes heightened by
every days cable dispatches, post
ponement OF the governments explana-
tion. will not be accorded beyond the
end OF next week.
The motive for Lord Salisbury's con-
duct is well known in official circles is
found in the promptings OF Sir Charles
Tupper, who has been advising the gov
ernment to fight against renewal OF
the modus vivendi on the ground that
it is not fair to Canada, as it will lock
up capital now invested in sea!ers.l
Apart from tho extreme tory organs tho
opinion OF tho country is dead against
Lord Salisbury for risking quarrel
with the United States for the sake Of
the small capital invested in fish boats.
a potent factor guiding Lord Sails
bury's policy to harmony with the
Washington government is the fact that
on the eve OF the general election it is
impossible to risk incurring popular
anger by allowing the arbitration to col
lapse at q moment when it appears to
be on tho verge OF success. /

a TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Three Hundred Miners I,nprisoncd by mn
s Explosion-oIany Lives Lost.

BRUSSELS, March l1.-A terrific cx-
plosion occurred to-day at tho Andorluis
colliery, near Charlcroi, which, 1t is
feared, will result in great loss OF life.
A late dispatch states that the mum.
ber of men at work in tho pit was 800.
Tremendous excitement prevails in tho
vicinity of the pit. Men, women and
children havo assembled in an enor.
nous crowd, and arc wild with fear, for
it is thought that when an entrance is
madc to tho colliery, the loss OF lifo
will bc found to be appalling. OF the
men Mt work, only three have thus far
arrived at tho mouth OF tho pit in
safety. Tho effect OF the explosion
was terrific, The cago and tho vonti-
lator werc shattered. Tho destruction
OF the ventilator adds IN element OF
great danger to tho situation. Tho
mon, ifany, who survived the shock OF
tho explosion, aro apt to meet their
death from tho choke damp, as with
the destruction OF tho vcntilator, it is
impossible to rid tho mine OF tho gases.
Volunteers arc plenty, and almost
superhuman efforts are being made to
clear the shaft.
LATER-rhe explosion occurred in
gallery 400 feet below tho surface Hero
were working 270 mon. Tho explosion
occurred ut 5 o'clock this morning. 1t
was'very heavy and tho shock caused
by it resembled an earthquake.
Almost before tho tremblings caused
by the explosion had entirely died
away, tho inhabitants began to rush
from their dwellings, and crowds
OF excited mon, women and children,
the faces OF all blanched with horror,
ilocked to the mouth of tho fatal pit,
down which but a few hours before the
miners had been lowered TO begin their
work. Almost every family in tho
whole place had q relative or friend
among the men employed in tho minc.
The cries, prayers and shrieks OF tho
anguished crowd were redoublcd and
then died away to hush rs the men ut
the windlasscs at length brought to the
surface the limped and black forms OF
from thirty to forty OF the unfortunatcs.
.-.All the victims were either dead Or
badly injured and the face OF each was
fenrfully distigured. y
Kind hands bore the victims from tho
place, and the wounded men, grooming
pitifully ut every step taken by their
carriers and followed by their sorrow
ing friends, were tendcrly conveyed to
the infrmary.
The latest official estimate places the
number OF dead at two hundred.

LONDON, March 1l.-When tho night
shifts lett tho mino, in Durham this
morning, they brought their tools with
them. This was done in. accordance
with yesterdays decision which makes
the coal "strike" q certainty. 1t was
thought that the miners would recon-
slider their determination to take holi-
day, but the action yesterday shows
that tho men aro determined to carry
out their intention to so restrict the out
put as to prevent the owners to reduce
their wages. The latest estimate OF the
number OF miners striking tomorrow mt
100000. The miners federation has
issued q manifesto saying all it's mem
bers must stop work tomorrow, except
few surface men, water pumpers and
vcntilator attendants. No coal must bo
raised.from the shafts.
A miners conference will be held on
March IL to decide upon the date on
which the men will resume work.
