MT. Mcleod on the Deal.

Last Saturday Archibald A. Mcleod, president of the Phila. & Reading road, testified before the Investigating com mittee of the US. Senate. He said that the combination could not, he thought, control the price of coal and he thought they had not the power to raise the price. He said the object was to equalize the price of coal throughout the country by doing away with the middlemen. He said that consolidation would decrease the rates on freight and give quicker transportation. The com- bination, he also declared, was his work alone, he having made separate con- tracts with each of the different roads independently of the others

 WASHINGTON March 1O.-There was de- cidedly warlike tone given to the opening proceedings of the senate when MT. Hale, from the committee on naval affairs, re- ported a bill to increase the navy and to ex- pend $500, 900 in experiments with torpe- does and MT. Morgan, from the committee on foreign affairs, followed this up by the introduction of bill suspending the laws permitting the passage of Canadian goods in bond through United States territory. The senate afterward hurried through the remaining amendments to the pure food bill and passed it without even a division and F then went into executive session on the Behring sea matter.
 It was generally expected that this would be ''star" day in the house, owing to the opening of the tariff debate. Such was not the case, however, as but little interest was manifested in the discussion.
 WASHINGTON, March ll.-Ihe senate oe- voted the day to discussing Mr. Vests propo- sition for a general law to provide for the construction of postoffces in small towns, and without action on this matter went into 8 brief executive session and adjourned.

His Connection with the Election Returns Matter to Be Investigated. NEW Yo:K, March 9.-At a meeting of the New York Bar association the following resolutions were presented:
 Whereas, It appears from a late opinion pro nounced by judg. of the supreme court that grave offenses may have recently been com mitted in the taking of an election return from the office of the comptroller of this state, and that MT. Isaac H.

 Resolved, That it be referred to a committee of nine member s, to be appointed by the pres ident of the association, to inquire into the matters aforesaid and Judge Maynard's con nection herewith, and to report to ad- 1ourned meeting of the association to be held on the evening of March 2s at D. m., the facts with tue opinion of said committee as to what action, if any, should be taken by the associa- tion in the premises.

 BRUSSELS, March !2-An accident oc- cured in a colhery near Charleroi which it IS feared will result in great joss of life. Three hundred miners and a large number Of women were employed in the coalpit, when there was terrific explosion of fire damp, followed at short intervals by two others. The effect of the explosion was ter rife. The cage and the ventilator at the mouth of the pit were shattered. The de- struction of the ventilator adds an element of great danger to the situation The men, If any, who survived the shock of the ex- plosion are likely to meet their death from the choke damp, as with the destruction of the ventilator it is impossible to rid the mine of the gases.
 The rescued men say that twenty-five of the miners still imprisoned are women. There are about 200 in all still to be account cd for. It is thought that those nearest the first cavein in the gallery may be rescued alive. Those furthest from the entrance of the gallery have probably been suffocated before this and if not will die before they can be reached
 The loss of life will number at least 15O souls
