No More Communications.

WASHINGTON, June a. Special l.
just as Secretary Blaine was leaving
the White House this afternoon he was
approached by n representative Of the
Associated Press, who reminded the
Secretary that in case no had any
further communication to make in re-
gard to the political situation the Asso-
ciated Press would like TO have it. The
Secretary smiled and without seeming
to attach any Importance to what he
was saying, remarked, "That's all right.
but there won't be any more communi-
cations" He then changed the subject
of conversation, and averted any further
reference to it,

The Disaster ut Prague Worse Than Mt
First Supposed.
PRAGUE. Juno 3.-lSpecial lowing
to the great excitement that prevailed
when it was known that the fire that
broke out Tuesday night in the Birlk
berg silver mine near Pezilerom had
caused the death of q number of miners,
many contradictory statements were
made as to the number Of those who
had persisted. Ono of the first reports
had it that forty had been killed. Now,
however, that the excitement has died
out to great extent, it is estimated
that fully four hundred of the EMPLOYEES
lost their lives in the disaster. Among
those killed were five students from a
mining academy who we're studying the
working Of the mine to gain practical
knowledge of mining operations.
Gas continues to form in great vol
umes in the mine, and the Maria shaft
is so filled with it that the volunteers
seeking to recover the bodies are greatly
hanipered in their work. In fact it is
thought now that it will be fortnight
before I'll the bodies are taken out
Large trenches are being dug in the
church yards in which the dead will be
buried. These trenches are large enough
to hold $50 bodies.

SAVING RITTER THINGS
The Fight ut Minneapolis Will he "A Hot
One.

MINNEAPOLIS. Juno 3.-ISpecial :
Prominent Republicans are arriving in
considerable numbers from all parts of
tho country, and the Presidential con-
test is growing in interest with every
hour. Men are getting excited. The
two factions into which the party is di-
vided are beginning to say harsh things
about each other.
The few leaders who have no par
ticular PRESIDENT preference view all
this with considerable seriousness, for
no matter who may be the nominee,
the contest has gone so far and so many
bitter things have been said that much
bad feeling will inevitably be engen-
dered.
Whether by his will or against it
Blaine has been forced by his friends
into the position of passive candidate
and the Hari iSon people are not unnat-
urally saying many caustic things about
the Socreta'y's position, and insisting
that good faith will compel him to
write another letter of declination, and
if this letter should not be Forthcoming
in two or three days these prophecies
will have been proven false and it is i'm
possible to predict what the convention
may do.
The intensity OF the situation may be
understood when it is stated that the re
porters Of the Associated Press are
questioned by various party leaders as
TO whether any declaration has been
mado or is expected at Washington from
the Secretary OF State.

Their scheme Was the Greatest Oper-
ated in New England for Years.
BosToN, May 12-John f. Richards,
alias John f. Barry, and Edward Mullen,
alias William Sweeny two young men ar
rested in the Charlestown district last
Saturday evening for passing spurious
money, were brought before Commits
sioner Hallett for examination. Hon. E.
J.Jenkins appeared as counsel for the pris-
oners. District Attorney Allen told the
commissioner that he would endeavor to
show that the defendants were part of a
gang who were working the greatest
scheme for passing counterfeit money that
had been operated in New England for
years. There were complaints enough al
ready against these men, if they were
found guilty to sentence them for the re-
mainder Of their natural lives. In con-
clusion he asked that bail be fixed at $50
000
Mr.. jenkins objected to this and sug-
gested that $4,000 would be sufficient to in
sure his attendance. Commissioner Hal
lett fixed Mullen's bail at $4,000 on each
specific complaint. AS to Richards, he
thought he " ould not admit him to bail
in any case as the state authorities would
arrest him Immediately on other serious
charges. The men were then held for their
appearance before the United States cir
cult court, jury term, May 10 next.

An ArithmeticaI Problem.

If you are good at figures get out your
paper and pencil and try this sum. Here
is a simple problem in arithmetic: A
baby is born in 1892. Now suppose its
ancestors had married at the age of
twenty-one, from the time of our Lord
-fifty-six generations-how many grand
fathers has that baby had? The answer,
in round numbers, will be three figures
followed by fifteen ciphers. Professor
Proctor at one time figured that if from
a single pair each husband and wife had
married at the age of twenty-one for
5000 years the population of the earth
if there had been no deaths, would now
be 2,199.915 followed by IA ciphers.-
