and 1t has been generally understood |
That all matters relating to foreign
affairs have either been conducted bv
MIR. Wharton, the assistant secretary.
or by the president himself. It has
been alleged by soma that the secre-
tary's health is in very precarious
condition, and the public generally
have not been Informed of his real
condition. This southern trip may do
him some good, but his friends seem
to think that he will not again engage
In active public duty.
Special from Boise city says: News
OF the suicide of Eli Mum, that occurred
about ten miles from American Falls,
has reached this city. Mum had been
OF deranged mind for some time, and
was under strict guard by the family,
In the hopes that his mental condition
would improve. They had given up
all hopes Of this, however, and con-
cluded to take him to the asylum,
whereuron he managed to escape, ran
to Snake river, jumped into boat and
pulled out into the stream. The boys
of the family gathered on the bank,
and his brother Joe swan horse across
the river several times in the hope of
effecting rescue. Eli finally threw
the oars overheard and capsized the
boat. Joe swan near him, but was 80
far exhausted that 1t was impossible to
rescue him. The body of Eli has not
yet been recovered.
A frightful colliery disaster has o.
Cured at Anderlues, Belgium. Several
hundred miners were entombed and
a serious explosion has apparently cut
off all access. An attempt made to
reach the men was futile, on account
Of the foul fumes. Three female miners
were rescued, but it seems certain all
the rest are dead. A large force Of vol
unteers are at work clearing away the
mouth of the mine of the debris in Or
der to reach imprisoned miners. A
large number Of the miners are mar
ried, and their families and friends ut
the mouth of the pit are frantic with
grief. Later particulars show it &C.
Cured in Cutlery, 400 feet below the
surface, where go men were employed.
OF this number forty escaped by means
OF q second shaft and sixteen others
were rescued in a fatally injured con-
dition. 1t is feared that of the men
in the mine 200 of them have been
killed.
A special from Paris says: An Incl
dent of the recent Berlin rioting has
; just leaked out. Major HUDSON, an I'm.
perial aid-de-camp, who escorted the
emperor in the Thiergarten the day
when he was hooted and insulted by
the mob, ssys that William kept calm,
J throughout the adventure, but looked
deadly pale. Near Brandenburg gate
the crowd pressed the sovereign 10 hard
that he put his hand to his sword az
though he would have drawn it.
Major HUDSON at once spurred his horse
forward and exclaimed, "Aber males
tat" in warming tone. The emperor
took the hint, and his sword was not
unsheathed. Had he yielded to his
first impulse, the anger of the mot
might have resulted IN serious trouble
and caused tremendous misfortune.
In their mood at the time, the moi
;. would have respected nothing. The
second day of the rioting it seemed that
the empress was SO much alarmed thai
preparations for her flight with hel
children were begun ut the palace
These fears have not yet been allayed
