LONDON, July 4.-Great excitement has
been caused in Thornhill, Yorkshire, by an
explosion to-day in Ingram's colIiery. One
bundled and thirty miners are entombed
and it is feared the loss OF life will be heavy.
Rescuing parties are hard at work and four
bodies have been brought to the surface
The pit ia badly blocked With fallen rock,
dirt and tmbers and the progress of the
rescuing parties is slow.
The pit managers organized an exploring
party and descended slowly through the
smoke. They were driven back repeatedly
and eventually gave up their purpose OF
penetrating to tho working before the foul
gas should be cleared away. 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 had cleared otf
near the shaft and they wers able to ex-
anime part of the working. The bodies Of
the miners lay in heaps. Many were sent
to the surface. About 10 are supposed to
have been killed.

BERLIN, July 4.-Ths Reichstag was
opened to-day by Emperor William in per-
son. The imperial speech was read in the
white saloon in the royal palace In the pres
sence of the Bundesrath, the representatives
of the states composing the German empire,
the ministers of state and the members of
the ReChstag.
His majesty said in part: "You will re.
ceive Immediately new bill regarding the
pence footing of the army, in which there
will be taken into account as far ms posi-
BILE, certain desires expressed during the
discussion Of the lato bill. Consequently,
diminished demands arc made upon the per-
sona capacity and tax bearing power Of
the people as far as possible without en-
daDger.ng the efficiency of the army.
hAlhe empires interest requires especially
in view of the end Of the Septennate next
spring, that the bill be passed with the ut
most despatch so that the new recruit calls
may be made in the autumn on the new
basis. Delay would influence most un-
favoraby our strength for more than 20
yoars.
With view to enabling you to dedicate
undivided attention to .he discussion OF tho
bill, the government will not in the mean
time Introduce any other measures. At the
opening of the winter session a bill will be
presented directed to obtaining means
cording to the capability of the taxpayers.
Until then the increased costs will be Gov
cred by the federated states through matri
culation payments"
When the emperor had concluded his
written speech, loud and prolonged applause
greeted him.
The Baverian minister called for three
cheers for tho emperor and they were given
with hearty good will.
The members Of too social democratic
and radical peopes parties and some of
the anti-Semitss were not present at the
ceremony Of opening the House. Most Of
the members OF the centre or Catholic party
were present and there was q full attend
ance of the government groups
IL has been arranged that the Reichstag
o-morrow shall elect Herr Won Lovetzow,
conservative, president; Baron Won Buol-
Berenberg, clerical, first vice president, and
Prof Won Merquardson, national liberal,
second vice president.

THE CHOLERA PROSPECT.
All Eastern Cities Armed at Evory Po NJ
Against the Scourge

BosToN, July 4.-With the advent of the
heated term and the large influx of foreign
er,, the health authorities increase their
vigilance to secure to the principal seaports
of the country the greatest immunity from
infectious diseases. With this end in view
the officials Of this city have taken every
precaution to prevent tho breaking out of a
plague in this city.
The greatest apprehension that is felt
arises from the fact tha, cholera has caused
q large number of deaths in tue lower prov
inces Of Russia aud in soma OF the countries
In southern Asia. The government bureau,
of which Surg Gen, Wyman is the execu-
tive head, Is in close and constant commu-
nicaton with the infected districts, and ca
Diagrams are daily received informing the
Washington treasury officials of the extent
Of tho scourge in the various bcourgs visited
sections.
The reports are most reliable and accur-
ate, and are very helpful in the information
they contain.
The experience OF last summer has taught
the port officials many new ideas concern
ing the most effective means OF reducing e
danger to a minimum, and the lessons have
found practical application.
There is no apprehension felt concerning z
the probable eruption or cholera within the
boundaries OF this country, and this feeling
of security arises from the fact that the
surveillance at all the cities along the water
fronts Is such that it is quite impossible for
a patient suffering from the disease to land
upon our shores.
Every vessel from an infected country
will be detained at quarantine until such
time asbprecludes tho possibility of danger
arioing from her entrance, and then a per
NIT to enter will only be granted after the
vessel has been thoroughly disinfected.
The greatest precautions have been taken
here and every safeguard has been applied
to render the quarantine service most otii-
csrt. The board OF health has given the
matter considerable thought ami attention.
and has prepared certain regulations calcu.
lated to make tho citzenS feel perfectly
safe from danger.
The official abstracts of diseases In for
eign countries are weekly forwarded here
from Washington and from them tho heal IN
officials secure such information as will en-
able them to more thoroughly protect the
country.
