One hundred and fifty miners arc en-
tombed and the loss of life, it is feared,
will be heavy. Four bodies have been
already brought out. The pit is blocked
with fallen rock, dirt and timbcrs and
the progress of the rescuing parties is,
therefore slow. 1t is feared that the
men who escaped death in the explosion

choke damp unless speedily rescued
The scenes usual at the pit mouth in

in the mines from interfering with the
work of the rescuers.

CHICAGO, July 3.-Nothing but a
miracle can prevent serious passen-
ger rate war in the West. The meet
ing of the transcontinental lines, which
has been in session at the Wisconsin
Central Office, came TO conclusion
without having come anywhere near an
adjustment of the war among the
Great Northern and other transconti-
mental roads. The Great Northern rer-
sisted in its demand that tourist Sleep
ing cars must be abandoned or run as
regular sleerers, if it is to consent to
restoration Of rates. Besides, it pre-
ferrcd 10 take no action in the matter
until it has had u conference with the
Canadian Pacific and settled its trouble
with that line. The Canadian Pacific
is angry clear through and declines to
attend any meetings with the Great
Northern and combined lines until the
Great Northern first restores tariff
rates. OF course, the Great Northern
has no intention whatever of doing So

the Brazilian fleet, and the blonde
haired and blue-eyed captains of the
German and Dutch steamers. These
visits formed one of the most
interesting features of the day.
As nearly all the foreign Off
GERS spoke or understood English the
ceremonies were attended by no stiff
formalities, but It is said were marked
by cordially and some degre of con-
VITALITY also.
The Columbian ball at night at
Madison Square garden was in respect
to the magniicence of the decorations
and arrangements, and of the large
number of world-famous guests pres
ent, the most splendid ever given in
the new world. Besides the presi-
dent and his advisers, the chief legis-
lative body of the United States, and
the Spanish grandee, who is the name
sake and lineal descendant of Christie
pher Columbus, and there was the
diplomatic corps, the admirals and
subordinate officers of every great ma
val power in the world, governors Of
neigboring states and famous army
officers. 1t was in fact gathering of
celebrities so varied and SO gloriously
arrayed that the Oldest and most trav-
elled guest acknowledged that seldom
or never before had he seen parallel
to the present picture presented.
The large box in the centre Of Mad
ison avenue end was occupied by
Mayor Gilroy and suite. President
Cleveland's box was on right Of the
mayors. 1t was lined with white and
gold, with delicate maiden ferns, roses
and asparagus in beautiful design COW
ering it. A magnificent bank of
American beauty roses slopes gently
down to the base of the balcony to
large American shield and eagle, old
glory being outlined in colored lights.
Two bands furnished the music in
the ballroom, one being stationed on
tie south and the other on the north
side of the garden toward the Fourth
avenue end. One played for the
dancers and the other in the intervals.

so striking as this. There was one at
Genoa, Columbus birthplace, last
year at which vessels representing
thirteen nations-al! those now par
ticipating, with the addition of Portu-
gal Roumania, Greece and Mexico,

Benham, of the Newark, took part
for the United States, but there were
only twenty vessels i'll all in
line on that occasion, and those mostly
second class. The ironciads of Great
Britain, France and Germany have
made imposing demonstrations of
their force in the English channel and
off Spit Head, and have passed in re-

England and Germany, and the pow

have been more strongly and pict-

Called Calvin a scoundrel.

A meeting of the Troy Presbyter-
ians was held in Troy, N. Y, to dis.
cuss the oyertures handled by the
General Assembly. During the dis
cussion Rev. Il. p. Calvin said he did
not wish TO be known as Calvinist,
and said: 81 do not like the idea Of
Calvinism. Calvin was a murderer
and scoundrel. He said many good
things, and those will accept, but
the church should be an exponent Of
the gospel, and not of Calvinism."
The Presbytery adopted resolution
overturning the General Assembly at
the meeting TO occur shortly in WASH
ington TO prepare new short creed,
clear, concise and Scriptural in its
wording, to be used by the church in
harmony with the existing doctrines,
expressed by the Westminster confess

ships hoisted colors, but did not dress

the British, Russian and Ital ian ships
also dressed yards.
The embarkation of the president
ial party on board of the reviewing
boat Dolphin was gorgeous affair.
A handsome special landing place had
been erected for the purpose at the
foot of Twenty third street, the APP
proach to which was carpeted and
draped in bunting. The president
was also escorted by his naval aides,
and accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland
and the members of his cabinet with
their wives. No representatives of
the press or general public were per-
mitted on board the presidential yacht.
Even the Duke of Veragua, the ma
toms especially invited guest, and di-
rect descendant of Columbus, was
brought along in seperate vessel, the
army boat General Meigs. The men,
bers of the diplomatic corps had prev
iously gone on board the coast survey
steamer Blake. which was moored
alongside the Monmouth at the Thirty
fourth street dock.
| Between 10 and II o'clock was the
hour assigned for the president to
commence the review. 1t was about
2 p. M, when the signal was given fol-
the start. AS soon as the presiden
stepped on board the Dolphin the yes
