the conflict between the opinions of en-

company do, he asked, in the face of
conflicting recommendations of equally
eminent engineers? Figures showing a
profit OF or per cent on the invest

estimates of competent men. Ferdi-
nsnd de Lesseps had never played the
double part attributed to him. He had
not concealed the mistake made in the
original estimates of the cost of the
canal. In 1884 he told the general
meeting of shareholders that 600 .OOO. 900
francs more would be required to finish
the canal. His statement had been so
explicit that those who persisted
in Misunderstanding it had only them.

VIENNA, Jan "a -Ai explosion of fire
damp occurred today in the Fort
Schritt mine at Dux in Bohemia. Dis.
patches tonight say 80 miners were
killed and scores injured.
The explosion occurred this morning
when the shifts were changing A cage
full of miners was lowered half way
when the ground trembled, loud rum
bling report was heard and the lowering
machinery broke. Help was sum-
moned, the machinery repaired and the
cage raised. Ten of the occupants were
killed instantly by the shock; 10 suf-
fered fractures from which they cannot
recover; five who had broken limbs
and internal injuries, will live. They
were half euffocated by gas rising in the
ehaft and no man could live below.
An hour later the superintendent of
the mine and five miners from the night
shift went down in the cage. They were
unable to go more than 100 yards, but
they found IA dead bodies. OF the 80
men who were waiting for the cage be-
low, 10 were killed and 40 partially
crushed by falling timbers, or half suffo-
Gated by foul air.
The dead bodies and the injured were
taken to the top, where the whole min
ing settlement had gathered to watch
the work of rescue. The men brought
up said they heard cries and groans
from the mouth OF gallery about 800
yards from the shaft, and they believed
40 men at work in the gallery we're i'm
prisoned by falling beams.
Another rescue party went down at
once and after three of them were car
ried back to the shaft unconscious, pene-
trated to the entrance OF the gallery
The entrance was completely blocke d
by wrecked woodwork. The rescue
party could see several dead bodies on
the # thsE-side..n .nf this5iBeffJ tf,a aIf frsrf5f
men in the gallery were suffocated OF
killed.
Twelve miners who worked in the ex-
treme interior of the mine are also be.
lieved to be dead.
Despite the apparent helplessness OF
the situation, rescue party is still in
the mine, and thousands have gathered
at the pits mouth.
When the extent of the disaster be.
came evident the women of the dead
mems families attempted to mob the
mine officials. The officials sent to Dux
for police, and three comp anies of sol
diers are camped around the pits
mouth tonight.

ator:
"On the 22d day of last December
you sent to the United States senate the
name of Frederick ]. Grsnt of Seattle
for envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary to Bolivia. Special
haste was made by the senate. which
went Immediately into executive ses-
sion, to confirm him, the judiciary com
mittee having agreed not to insist on an
examination into the requirements OF
the candidate. The haste made in con-
frming the appointment was due to the
fact that had it been delayed Mr. Grant
could not have entered upon his duties
before January 4th, to which date con-
grees on the 22d of December adjourned
Dispatches of that date said Mr.. Grant
would qualify az once and proceed to
Bolivia by the way of England, where
some matters involving the three gov
ernments must be settled as soon as
possible
The telegram goes on to show how
Grant, instead OF going 10 Bolivia, is at
Olympia, and deplores the unusual
spectacle of diplomatic minister of the
government acting as q manager in a
senatorial contest. The dispatch closes !:
"You are looked upon as model chief

Mention of this was made in THE

evening he was brought from his cell
to hear his appointed hour and Judge
Morrison pronounced upon him his son
tence, that on the Goth day of December
he should hang. The sentence of the
court was more effective upon the negro
than the verdict of the jury, his stiffness
failed him and he broke down under it.
County court opens today and bids
fair to be long sitting of not less than
two weeks. There are ten felonies to
be tried If there be no cause of contin-

misdemeanors for trial. There is
