then entitled to the aid Of thit writ But this
multiplicity Of suits could be obyiated BY the
granting Of this one. Not only were these land
owners suffering personal injury, but so, too,
were the members Of this commission, who
were in default because Of their failure to pay
over this money.
Mr. Perry then entered into o strictly tech
nical discussion Of the various law points in the
case, concluding his remarks with the reflection
that the answer Of the Secretary utterly failed
to set up proper defense. quoting Justice MIL
ler's famous utterance: mo man in this coun-
try Ia 30 high that he is above the Law. No off,
Ger of the law may set that Law 1T defiance with
IMMUNITY. All the officers Of the government,
from the highest to the lowest are creatures
Of the law and are bound to obey it.
MR. MAURY's REPLY.
Assistant Attorney General Maury, replying
10 Mr.. Perry, said that he thought the commits
sion had been both hasty and unwarranted in
alleging that the Secretary of the Treasury had
refused to pay these acquisitions. But had the
Secretary refused to pay2 He thought not.
He had merely delayed doing 90 for
to the presumption that in delaying the pay
ment he had acted in good faith andfo the best
interests Of the government. Il appeared that
the matter was Q race Of diligence between
Congress and the commission. Surely the Sec
rotary had done nothing wrong in making such
temporary delay. The Secretary Of the Treas
ury had certain rights and privileges, and this
slisht delay appeared to be one Of those rights
or privileges.
M. Manry said that at this time Of the fiscal
year the Secretary Of the Treasury had many
peculiar questions TO meet, and be vas, there
fore, entitled to moro than usual consideration.
OF course, no one doubted that thsrs was
money enough in the treasury 10 meet these
regulations, but the Secretary should be per-
mitted the necessaxy time in meeting this and
the other financial questions requiring his 81
tsntion q this tina Of the fiscal year.

ON FIRE IN MID-OCEAN

Edwin Arno'd's Narrow Escape on .
Bnrning Steamer.
VICTORIA, E. c., Aug. 26.-The steam
er Empress Of Japan has arrived from
China and Japan. On August 10 fire
was caused in the after hold by
the fusing of the electric light
wires. The vessel was then 500
miles from Yokohama. Without giving
the alarm to the passengers, the captain
put about and steamed full speed for
Hakodate, the nearest port, and began
fighting the fire through a hole
in the bulkhead. The vessel
was in the utmost peril, and at one
eime it was thought that she
must be abandoned. Boats were low
cred and provsioned for the purpose;
but the crew managed to bring the ship
to lakodate, where the flames we're ex.
ungulshed after ten tons OF sugar
and tea had been consumed.
The steamer then resumed her
voyage. Among the passengers was Sir
Edwin Arnold who is returning to re-
sumo the editorship of the London Tel
eeraph. He brings with him the fin
ished copy of his new Japanese drama.

EXPLOSION in A COAL MINE.

One Hundred and Fifty Men Entombed
in Wales.
LONDON, Aug. ga fearful mining
accident occurred this morning at the
Park Slip coal pit, near Bridge End,
mining town in Glamorgansh hire, Wales.
The day shift of miners had not been
long in the mine before a terrible ex-
plosion was heard. The day shift COM
prised $50 men, and their relatives and
friends rushed to the pit mouth to learn
the extent Of the disaster. The explo-
sion had caused the earth and rock to
fall, and the mouth of the pit was
closed. Not single man of the $50 in
the mine had made his escape, and it is
feared that there has been great loss of
life.
Hundreds of the miners in the vicin-
ity have volunteered their services, and
the work of clearing the pit mouth is
being pushed rs rapidly as circum-
stances will permit. All around the
pit are gathered women and children
hoping for the best, yet expecting the
worst. The mine officials hold out all
the hope possible, but it can easily be
seen that they fail to make the mothers
and wives believe that there is much
hope.
At o'clock this evening rescuing
party assembled to the surface bearing
with them two men whom they had
found near the bottom of the pit. Both
men were badly burned and uncon-
scious. The physicians hold little
hope of their recovery.
Shortly after these men were brought
up the flames from the burning pit as
cended and set fire to the structures at
the pithead. When the flames issued
from the pit all hope was abandoned.
Those who escaped death in the ex-
plosion have certainly been suffocated
or burned to death.
The disaster is one of the worst that
has occurred in the mining district for
many years.

Five Story Factory Building Burns Like

New YORK, Aug. PA disastrous
fire, carrying with it death, broke out
in the large five-story brick building,
120-122-124-126 Wooster Street, and ex-
tended through to 120-l22 Prince Street.
AS far as could be learned early over 100
persons were in the building at the time
the fire broke out. 1t was reported that
fifteen men lost their lives by the awful
crash of the walls and that many were
injured in escaping. Several were mis-
sing, and there was such q state OF ex-
element and panic about the scene of
the fire that no positive information
about their fate could be obtained for
some time. 1t is now thought that sew
eral were severely injured.
The fire started about 10 o'clock in
the basement of the Wooster Street
end, occupied by the United States
Frame and Picture Company. The
flames spread with great rapidity, and
soon the entire building was ablaze.
The occupants of the building were:
Basement and top floor, United States
Frame and Picture Company; first floor.
Belt, Butler & Co., wrols and raw furs;
caps, and w. j. Kelly, publishers; third
paper box manufacturers.

cried to him, but he did not understand.
The wall fell before he could get out of
the way. He was picked up badly in
jured and removed to st. Vincent
Hospital.
At IL 40 o'clock the Wooster wall fell
and number of tiremen are said to
have been buried in the ruins. The

IAlPORTATIONS PROHIBITED,

Embargo Placed on Licorice Root from
BatOum, Russia.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 26.-In &C.
cordance with the recommendation Of
the marine supervising surgeon-general
of the hospital service the collector
of customs at New York has been
directed to refuse to allow the entry of
licorice root coming from Batoum, Rus
STA, inasmuch as Batoum is the
center of the infested district in Rus
STA, and cholera has been prevailing in
that city in eploemic form during the
present season. While licorice root
itself is not likely to convey the infec-
ton, the department thinks the bagging
used in covering the bales is source of
danger, and does not deem it advisable
to allow the importation thereof.
The Treasury Department is advised
that the United States consul at Odessa,
Russia, having given Consul Martin, at
Rostoff, instructions to refuse to certify
all invoices, without any explanation,
prevalence of cholera in that dis
trict. the department has re-
quested Secretary Foster, of the
State Department., that he instruct
the consul at Odessa that certificates to-
invoices should not be refused for the
reason stated, and that the requirement
Of the certificates Of disinfection pre-
scribed by the Treasury Department
circulars of July last and the 10th
inst. do not affect the issuance of the
ordinary certificate to invoices.
In replying to letter from the New
York Shipping Company, 4 Broad way,
New York, stating that United States'
consuls are not sufficiently posted
as to the rules and regulations
regarding the prohibition of importa-
tons of goods likely to convey
cholera infection, Assistant Secretary
Spaulding says that copies of the de-
partment circulars OF the Sth ult. and
18th and 10Th inst. have been sent TO-
the secretary of state, with the request
that the proper consular officers be fur
nished Herewith. The secretary OF
state was also requested to communl-
cate by cablegram with the consul-gen-
eral at London.
No further information touching the
cholera has been received at the De-
partment OF State up to noon to-day.

of hardwood lumber piles, making such
a hot fire that trains were unable TO
pass. and endangering all the houses OF

be between 100000 and 100000 with a
comparatively small amount of in

The entire plant was burned. The
loss may be anywhere from $4,000 to
81 900. coo. The lumber piles alone were

Mr.. Helfrich keeps the city funds, and
where he is also a bank clerk, the
