THE POPE,s DEMOCRACY.
Interested In the Recent Presiden-
tiaI Election-The Italian Elections
The Pope's Health and Capacity


Interested In the Recent Prcsfden-
tiaI Election-The Italian Elections
The Pope's Health and Capacity
For Work.
ROME, Nov. 81 The pope followed
with the Hveliest attention the recent
presidential struggle in the United States.
He had special reports concerning the
progress of the campaign and the result
of the election sent to him. His holiness
has no special sympathy with either of the
great American parties, but his sympathy
with and admiration for the United States
makes him DESTROYS of knowing all the
developments of the public spirit and all
shades of current public opinion on both
political and social questions.
La Rassegna Rationale, the great politi-
cal review, has an article attacking the
democratic policy of the pope. The Rss,
segns asserts and gets angry over Its belief
that this change in the vatican policy will
end in the election of an American pope
The article is singularly significant, prov.
| ing as 1t does the interest which the United
States has in the pope's policy and its de
velopment towards democratic Catholi
cism.
The vatican is we'll satisfied with the re
| suit of the italian elections. Out of tn,
| total of possible votes only a fifth or ,
fourth have gone to the polls. The indif
| ference of the electoral body is the bes
| justification of the pope's tactics.
The periodic accounts current about tn,
| pope being i'll seem to arise from tive
causes: First, that he is wont to seclud,
himself in order to work more at his ease
and next, that his death is desired by al
those to whom his democratic and repub
lican tendencies are obnoxious. At pres
emit he enjoys good health, with fresh
ness of spirit and power of work whicl
are astonishing. "He will live man,
years yet" said one who daily sees him.

PENSIONS.

The Report of the Pension Commits.
sioner Awaited With Intesest-Ths
Large Increase I'm the Needed Ap.
propriations.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-There appears
to be more than usual interest attached 10
the forthcoming report of the commission
er of pensions for the reason that the PEN
zion appropriation figures conspicuously
in the annual budget of the government.
1t has been pretty well understood for
some time past that the estimates for the
next fiscal year would show large increase
over any previous year. This expectation
was based on the fact of the large issue of
pensions during the year consequent upon
recent pension legislation, which admitted
to pensionable status a very large num-
Der of soldiers who were not pensionable
under the former laws.
In few days the report of General
Raum will be completed and full state
ment of the condition of the pension Office
will be presented. The statements have
been made that the amount that will be re-
quired for pensions during the next fiscal
year will nearly reach the enormous sum
of 5000, 100000. The work of compiling
the figures are, however, sufficiently ad-
vanced to show that this estimate ia in ex-
cess of the actual requirements. For the
year 1S90-91 the total appropriation on &C
count of pensions was about $125,-
100000. Last year there was an
increase to S144, 100000. But, as
General Raum will state in his report, this
amount fell short of the actual demands
by about SIS, 900. 600, so that there is de-
iciency of that amount. Congress will be
asked to make an appropriation of about
$3.50, 100000 for the coming fiscal year,
about $18, 000. 900 of which is an anticipa-
ton of an increase of that amount over
the actual expenditures of the last year
1t is the judgment of General Raum that
while this amount is likely to be increased
for the next year or two, yet he feels con-
fdent that the maximum limits are nearly
reached

CoLLIERY DISASTER.

Twenty-Five Kegs OF Blasting Pow
der BxpIode-The Dead and In
Iured.
SrEUBENvILLE, o., Nov. 21.-At thu
Blanche mine of the West End Colliery, in
the West Virginia yard, twenty-five keg'
of blasting powder exploded at 1915 p. m.
to-day. The explosion was caused by g
fuse throwing fire into a miners powder
can, the explosion of which fired others.
The men in the mine had come up and in
few minutes most of them would have
been there. After the explosion a great
blast of flame and smoke issued from the
mines mouth and a frightful roar
told the country round that a
disaster had occurred. The women who
had husbands, brothers, sons or sweet
hearts in the smoking pit were frantic.
Crowds came swarming to the mines
mouth, the faces white with dread, and
the one query on every lip, "Who Is In
the miner Wives and fathers tearfully
urged the men 10 hasten down into the
mine to rescue those not past rescue or
learn the worst. Presently the mine boss
and a squad of brave fellows took their
chances on the bad air" and went in.
After awhile the rescue party appeared
bearing the victims of the explosion as fol-
lows:
Dead-John Prssky and Wesley Ander-
son, colored.
Injured Michael Choker. fatally; Will
liam Anderson. colored, legs broken, hip
dislocsted, will die; John Anderson, col
ore,, head wedged under a coal car, may
recover; Lawrence Campbell, burned
about the arms and head; John
Zsging, burned about the arms, back and
head, sent to Pittsburg to the hos
pital; Ed. Conk, burned so that he will
die; John Gillespie, badly burned about
the head: George TeeteIs, burned and in
iured internally; Matthew Wright, burned
about the arms, head and back; John Ram
sey, burned badly about the body, but will
recover.
John Hull is missing. The explosion
did comparatively little damage to the mine
or its equipment. That more of the
miners were not suffocated was due to the
prompt action of James Smsrk and James
Gordon who, when the big door that closes
the drift was blown from It's fsstenings,
quickly placed it in position again.
Fifty men were employed in the mine
to-day.
