FROM WASHINGTON

The Monowai brings little that is
new in regard to the negotiations /
ut Washington. 70 action had /.
been taken by the Senate prior to .
the sailing Of the steamer on March !
Sd, so that the question is left to
the Cleveland administration TO
settle. The principal reason for de-
lerrlng action appears to have been
the fact that the Senate was crowd
ed with work, as day and night
sessions were necessary in order to
get through with the appropriation
bills. This would probably of itself
have been sufficient to cause the
delay, but there was no doubt other
factors in the case. Prominent
among these was the desire on the
part Of some Democrats to capture
the glory Of the annexation for
their own party. The desire for a
fuller discussion was also operative,
while considerable opposition to the
Treaty was manifested in some
quarters.
Though there has been some
delay, it does not appear that
there has been any very material
change in the situation. We learn
from the Provisional Government
that their dispatches are favor,
able. The Commissioners were
hopeful that action would be taker
by the Senate within a fortnigh
after March 4th. The Senate wa
to meet Immediately after the in
augural, and there was no bushes
before it besides the confirmation
of appointments, except the Ha
waiian Treaty. As the senator
are generally in a hurry to &c
home, the Commissioners fee
hopeful that the treaty will /
acted upon promptly. They hav
been assured by prominent ser
ators that the delay is in no wa
due to opposition to the treaty.

A WRONG IDEA.

the state of public sentiment, be-

foundation for any such idea. The
paragraph upon which it is based,
is the following, which is clipped
from the San Francisco Bulletin;

The house surgeon of hospital on a
Demerara (5outh A nerica) sugar estate
had good reason to believe that large
proportion of the patients that constant
ly filed his wards were mslignerers.
The Indian coolies, WHO formed the
bulk Of the labor on the estate, lost no
opportunity of Sinking their work, and
when they found that artfuly simulated
sickness would at any time secure them
temporary rest in cool room in place
of the ten hours hoeing in hot caue
piece, the general health of the working
staff, as might be expected, ran down to
very low standard. The house sur

sion, and importing pc Serful electric

plying for admission to the hospital

mates could safely be regarded as bona

her to fourteen days hard labor. -CAl-

Air Reduced to a Liquid or a Solid.

Another marvellous Transformation has
been effected in England By means OF
the new scientific agency. inconceivable
cold. Air has been reduced not only to
a LIQUID but TO a solid, two or three
dimes this week. Professor Dewsr has
succeeded In producing 10 his laboratory
a piece OF solid air. He has not yet
tested the nature Of the new solid, which
is almost as clear as crystal. 1t may be
a jelly Of the solid nitrogen containing
liquid oxygen, much as calves foot jelly
contains water diffuscd into gelatine, of
il may be true ice OF the liquid air 10
which both oxygen and nitrogen exist
in solid form. A doubt arises from the
fact that Professor Dswar has not been
able by his utmost efforts 10 solidify pure
oxygen, which, unlike other gases, re-
sists the cold produced by its own
evaporation. Under the air pump nitro
gen, on the other hand, can be frozen
with comparative ease. 1t has already
been proved that ia the evaporation OF
liquid air nitrogen escapes first. Con-
senuentIy the liquid Is continually be-
coming richer in that constituent which

thus becomes question whether cold

whether It Is not really frozsn at all, but

ENTOMBED IN A MINE
Three Hundred Men Inundated at
Pont -y-Pr.dl, Wales.
0le Brave Man Killed While Seeking
the Dead.

frightful mining accident occurred at
nearly 200 men have persisted. There was an
explosion, followed by fire, and the men
were imprisoned in the mine. A spark from
an engine in a forr-foot seam ign'ted cotton
waste
The flames spread TO the woodwork and
finally ignited the inllammable gas in the
seam. Flames and smoke gave to the 200
men at work in the scam the first warning Of
all approaching danger. All ran toward the
landing. Many were overtaken by the fire
and smoke, fell and were left to their fate by
their comrades in advance OF them. Com
paratively few of the men who were in the
seam at the time of the explosion reached
the landing.
At the entrance OF the shaft rescuing
party was formed by the pit surveyor. The
party get as far as the landing at the seam
where the fire started, but was driven back
almost Immediately by the dense smoke issu-
ing from the seam. The surveyor took his
men back to the surface. After a half hours
rest they went down again and forced their
way ten yards into the workings. They
found four dead bodies, which they brought
bac k with them. Attempts to go further into
the workings were vain. as tho woodwork
was burning and large masses OF ruins were
falling necessarily from the roof. One of
the rescue party who yentured too far was
killed.
The men who saved themselves Immediate
ly after the fire broke out were too much
confused and frightened to observe the posi-
tions of their Acknowledgment. They are
unable to give any clear account of the dis
tribution of the miners, and the work OF
rescue must therefore proceed under all the
difficulties of uncertainty. There are numer
our volunteers to undertake the work of
rescue as soon as it becomes possible At
present the flames and smoke would render
any such undertaking vain, if not fatal to the
party making the descent. There is little
doubt, however, that most if not all, of the
men left below have been suffocated or
burned to death.
Later advices from Pont-y-Pridd do not
tighten the calamity, and the worst fate is
feared for hundreds OF miners. The pit is
worked in sections, one seam being above
another. The fire resulting from the explo-
sion broke out in the eastern section. From
this section 70 men succeeded in reaching
the surface through the main dip-working,
led by miner who knew the road They
had terrible struggle to get out, forcing
their way through fire and smoke Many OF
them were scorched and all were terribly ex-
hausted when they emerged safely. They
brought no good news as to those they left
behind but on the contrary expressed their
dread that all In the mine had persisted.
The number of the men still in the mine
cannot be ascertained, although it is known
to be well above fifty. There is little hope
that some of them found refuge at such
distance from the burning sections that they
are still alive.
