ON THE COOPERATIVE PLAN.
Miners Considering Proposition Con-
 corning the Briceville Mine.


 corning the BriceVille Mine.
 KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 15.--The labor people at Coal Creek have been holding numerous conferences during the past few days.
 One thing which has caused some of the conferences was the proposition made by the Tennessee Mining company, viz: To conducr the mine at Briceville on the co-oper.ti1> plan.
 The miners have nu. fully decided yet what they will do, but the indications are that the offer will be accepted.
 It is said now that if the offer is not accepted the company will sell its prop erty to the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Rail- way company, the penitentiary ltssccs, who will put convicts to work.
 The State has the larger part of hel standing army encamped on the hill at Coal Creek and the expense is heavy. It is certainly true that if the troops are withdrawn the convicts will be released again.

 ACCORDING to the Railroad Gazette's summaries, IF passengers and 550 em- ployes were killed in train accidents in the United States last year; and 1,1S3 passengers and ,447 employees were in jured. Arranged according to classes of causes, it appears that negligence in operating the roads accounts for much the larger number of fatalities, If passengers having met death from this cause and 345 employees. Next in order come defects in road and unforeseen Instructions and maliciousness. The number of derailments caused by mali cious Instructions was more than 30 per cent greater last year than the year be- fore, and more than twice as great as for any year before that. Compared with recent years, the number of fatali- ties both to pass engers and employees was greater than for any year since 1887. One hundred of the IF passen- gers killed lost their lives in nine acci- dents. Notwithstanding the improve ments constantly being made in appli- ances, it is still more than ever true, as the Gazette observes, that discipline is a vital element in railroad working.

JULIAN RALPH has written an article on Chicago for Harper's Magazine, in which he says: Chicago will be the main exhibit at the Columbian exposi- tion of 1893. No matter what the aggregation of wonders there, no mat ter what the Effile-tower-like chief ex- hibit may be, the city itself will make the most surprising presentation. Those who go to study the worlds progress will find no other result of human force so wonderful, extravagant or peculiar. Those who carry with them the prejudice begotten out of political rivalry or commercial envy will discover that, however well founded some of the criticism has been especially as to the spirit of the Chicagoans-the development of the place has not followed the logical de- auctions. Those who go clear-minded, expecting to see a great city, will find one different from that which any pre- cedent has led them to look for'

GCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE.
A Duel Challenge in Which an Aator Ia
the Cauaa

NEW YORK. March 22.-Mr. j. Cole
man Drayton is now on his way to this
country on the steamship Majestic for
the purpose of publicly branding Mr..
IIallett Borrowe as an arrant coward,
the latter having declined to fight him
when challenged as the alleged betrayer
of Mrs. Drayton, who is daughter of
William Waldorf Astor.
AT least that is what he threatened to
do before he left England, and he ac-
tually began the branding business be-
fore he departed from London by pub
licly expressing his opinion of Mr. Bor-
rowe III several metropolitan clubs, in
cluding the st. James. 1t is said that
when he found Borrowe intended to
avoid a meeting under the regulations
of the code, Mr.. Drayton threatened to
shoot him down on sight. The Majestic
is expected to arrive here tomorrow,
and both Drayton and Borrowe are on
board.
According to the latest advices from
abroad Mrs. Coleman DraytOn has re-
turned to London from Paris, where she
had u stormy interview with her mother,
Mrs. William Astor, and her husband.
They met at the Hotel Liverpool, but
nothing was done towards patching up
peace. After the meeting MIR. Drayton
started suddenly for New York. Mrs.
Astor went in the direction of Algiers
and Mrs. Drayton returned alone to
lodgings in London.
Mrs. Drayton refuses to see any one
OF be interviewed on the subject of her
family troubles. II have no explana-
tions whatever to make" she says. "If
Coleman Drayton has chosen to make a
10 nH H..if ,gt
mine"
1t is denied that Mrs. Drayton and
Borrowe were living openly together at
the Victoria hotel in London. Borrowe
only had a small room there 1t is said
that when Mrs. Drayton went abroad
with her husband she promised never to
see Borrowe again.

DEADLY EXPLOSIONS.
Twelve Lives Sacrificed TO Defect
i've Boilers. -M
FOUR OTHERS FATALLY WOUNDED.

st. Louis Reports an Explosion
Which Cost Four Lives, WhiIc
East Jordan, Mich, Adds Seven
to the Death List-Others Fear
fully Wounded. ..= ...
ST. LoUIs, March 22.-Late yesterday
afternoon report reached St. Louis that
an explosion had occurred in the works
of the Laclede Fire Brick company at
Cheltenham. An alarm of fire brought
out engines from the nearest stations.
There being no flames to combat, the
firemen assisted in the work of rescue.
But even the continued efforts of the
firemen and the surviving employees did.
not suffice to release the injured and
dying from their terrible fate until they
had suffered for hours. John Zeeger,
one of the tremen, was taken from the
ruins crushed about the head, with two
ribs broken and was scalded and inter
nally injured. He will die.
After the second detonation--for there
were two explosions following in quick
succession-it was stated that one of the
tireinen of the boiler plant was missing.
This soon proved to be a mistake, though
his comrades were killed.
For a long time after the first two
bodies had been removed the men
worked in silence, clearing away the de-
bris. Meanwhile the wounded were
groaning and imploring those that were
free to save them, but the work was of
necessity painfully slow, and by reason
of the manner in which the debris had
fallen many of the dead were reached
before the wounded could be relieved.
The boilers which exploded had just
been put in operation yesterday morn
ing. They We're of the most approved
pattern and workmanship, and had
been thoroughly tested last Saturday
afternoon. They were in charge of ex-
perienced engineers, and no cause can
be given for the accident.
The loss will be confined to the boiler
house and battery, the building where
the explosion occurred being detached
from all others.
The following were killed in the ex-
plosion: E. Beckley, an English brick
layers apprentice; John Dubochy, ma
chinist; Larry Huzzy, laborer; r.. Die
doke, laborer; Frank Zeeger, fireman.
Morgan Inman, laborer, fatally injured.

A PROTEST FROM CHINA.
1t May End in the Severance of DipIo-
matte Rotations.


WASHINGTON, March 22.-This country
is now threatened with severance of
diplomatic relations with China. The
Chinese government has become indig-
nant at the antagonism which the United
States exhibits towards the Chinese and
the reporting of the Geary bill by the
house committee on foreign affairs, and
has written a long letter to Secretary
Blaine protesting against the absolute
exclusion of Chinese from the United
States, claiming that it is in violation of
the treaty between the two countries,
and pointing out that the United States
has no precedents in international af-
fairs for the course that she is pursuing.
This letter, while couched in diplo-
matte language, is a very earnest and
indignant protest, and indicates a deter
mination on the part of China not to
longer remain passive in this matter.
There is feeling in congress that the
time has come when this country must
either make the prohibition against the
coming of Chinese in this country gen.
eral and absolute, or else must throw
the doors wide open to all Chinese. 1t is
obvious that the latter will not be done.
The expectation is that this congress
will go to the farthest extreme of Chi
nese restriction, and that all our diplo-
matte relations with China will be ended.
