Proceedings in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-There were two
speeches made in the senate yesterday on
the question of the admission of. the sena-
tors appointed by governors Chandler
contended for a broad and liberal construc-
tion of the clause of the constitution bear
ing on the subject, while Palmer stood for
strict construction. Chandler revived the
Roach incident by resolution calling on
the treasury for copies of the reports of the
Citizens Bank of Washington from
1875 to 1852 and of bank examiners on its
condition. The resolution went over on
the objection of German.

ed FOR a broad and liberal construction of
the constituti IN, and having ridiculed the
minority's position technical and mar
row construction Palmer in reply said the
fathers of the constitution had adopted
what the senator called narrow and illib
eral construction, but he (Chandler), their
wiser son, had found another method bet
ter than theirs.
Knew q Better Doctrine.
The senator's discovery reminded him Of
Calvinistic preacher. who. on a certain
occasion, said to his congregation: "My
brethren, there is a man going up and
down through the country preaching that
all men can be saved. Thank God, we
teach better than this" Laughter.l
The senate is now awaiting notification
from the president that he no longer re-
quires its presence before adjourning its
special session. There is no life in the de-
bate and there is an understanding amount
ing to substantially the same thing as an
agreement that neither the question of the
power of the governors to appoint senators
nor the proposed Roach investigation will
be pushed to a vote at this session

COnI Mine Horror.

LONDON, July AT Thornhill, York
shire, an explosion occurred to-day.
One hundred and thirty miners were
entombed and the loss of life, it is feared,
will be heavy. -Four bodies have al
ready been brought ont. P'tiful scenes
of distress and anxiety prevail about
the NINE. The day shift went to work
as usual this morning. All welt well
until nooc, when the workers at the
mouth of the pit were startled by a
mutiled explosion and clouds of dense
smoke rolled up the main shaft. The
pit managers organized party and
descended slowly through the smoke,
they were driven back repeatedly and
eventually gave up their purpose of
penetrating to the workings before foul
gas should be cleared.
After taking up the bodies found at
the bottom of the shaft the rescue party
waited for several hours before making
another descent. About the middle Of
the evening they went down again.
The gas cleared off near the shaft and
they we're able to examine part of the
workings. The bodies of the miners
lay in heaps. They were sent to the
surface. Unremitting efforts are being
made to reach the few miners who may
still be alive. About ITO are supposed
to be killed. Between II and II o.
clock SO much gas accumulated in the
mine that it was necessary to stop the
work Of rescue,
The men and boys missing number
145. The dead body of the under
manager badly burned, was found in
the mine near the shaft.

An interesting bit OF gossip is floating
around Washington in connection with
the refusal of ex Speaker Crisp to speak
at TammaHy's 4th of July pow-vow, on
th ground that his wife was i'll. While
Mrs. Crisps health is bad it is said that
the reason why Mr.. Crisp did not care
10 speak in New York was a supersti-
tious dread, caused by the trouble which
las invariably followed his speaking in
that town. While he was making his
first speech in New York after his cleo
ton as speaker he received a telegram
stating that one cf his sons was dying,
and he did die before he reached his bed
side. Upon the second occasion he re-
ceived Geographic notice of the fatal
illness of another son, and the last time
he went there to speak he was snubbed
at the memorable Reform Club banquet
and not allowed to deliver The speech he
had prepared. 1t is also probable that
