BUT ONE ESCAPED.
1t is Thought the Eleven Imprisoned Min
ers Are Dead.

Detroit. Mich, October :s26.-A special to
the journal from Iron Mountain says:
.'Your correspondent has just returned
from trip'to Pewabic mine. Eleven men
are entombed. Peter Hasooe, the shift
boss, was the only man known to have
escaped uninjured. 1t says the accident was
caused by running water eating away the
sandstone escaping in room a hundred
feet in height on the third level. This
immense mass of rock, weighing hundreds
of tons, crashed down through the floor of
the level carrying away everything to the
fourth level on which the men were work
ing. He heard the crash of broken timbers
and just managed to make his.escape, To
cut a road through this wreckage to the
room in which the men are entombed, is a
work of difficulty, and the walls will have
to be heavily timbered as the work pro-
crosses to avoid another fall of the ground.
Although only fifteen fleet away. not the
fainUest sound is heard that would indicate
any of the entombed miners are alive and
rescuers expect to find them dead.
At six this evening the rescuers had dug
to within eight feet of the imprisoned men.
and some of them at least are still ss--alive,
as a distinct tapping can be heard on the
pipe leading to where the men are en-
tombed. Now it is thought some of the n
will be taken out alive. The rescue can
hardly be effected before daylight tomo1-

GERMANY RETALIATEs.
She Resents the Discrimination
Against Her Products

By Prohibiting the Importation of Amer
lean Beef-Cattle Now Afioat Must Be
Killed Immediately on Landing.
Washington. October 26.-The ....German
Ambassador. Etoday. formally notified the
Secretary of State that in consequence of
the introduction of Texas fever. by means
of two shipments from New York. the im-
portation of fresh beef and cattle from the
United States to Germany will shortly be
prohibited. In an official note Baron Won
Saurma Jeltsch. adds: In regard to the
cargoes afioat. the shipments made from
the United States up to October sS, will be
permitted to enter German ports only on
conditions of being slaug htered immediate-
ly upon landing.
The State Department officials decline to
comment on the matter. 1t is thought that
this marks the commencement of a policy
of commercial retaliation against the
United States OF account of discriminating
against the German beef sugar in the new
tariff law. The Department of Agriculture
insist it is impossible that cattle affected
with Texas fever or similar complaint
could have been shipped from New York as
claimed by the German officials. The fever
ish condition produced by sea voyage is
probably what is called "Texas.Fever," by
the German government. No complaints
are received from other countries.

One Theory for Caprivi's Fall From Favor

One Theory for Caprivi's Fall From Favor.
London. October 26.-The Central News
correspondent in Berlin sends this des-
patch: Count Won Caprivi resigned on
the 23rd, and the Emperor called upon him
and persuaded him to reconsider his resig-
nation. Relations between the chancellor
and Count Bothozu Eulenburg grew more
strained First Eulenburg and then Caprivi
asked to be retired, and today the Emperor
promptly dismissed them both. The En-
porer IS credited with holding the opinion
that the separation of the chancellorship
and the Prussian premiership has been a
failure, and it is imperative to reunite
them. Among many reports as to the cause
of the crisis is one that CapIivi sdispleased
the Emperor by expressing his disapproval
oil His Maiesty's speech at the recent pre-
sentation of colors to the 1872 regime Mt. The
Emperor then limited that the half bat
talions would soon be made full ones The
chancellor not only disapproved this
speech, but opposed the publication of it
in the ReichsanZeger. 1t is due to his
opposition that the speech has not yet ap-
peared in official form.

AeAs NoI Het Decided VINO Will Fiji
the Place-News From the War in
Corea.
Berlin, October 28.-The report that
Chancellor Won Caprivi has handed his
resignation to the Emperor is confirmed.
Count Au Eulenburg, president of the
ministerial council, has resigned, and
Doctor MIGUEL, the Russian finance minis
ter, is appointed president of the council.
Prince Won Notwithstanding sfurst, gov
ernor OF Alsace Lorraine, has been offered
the chancellorshlp. Before offering the
ohancellorship to Prince Hohenlohe, Empe-
Tor William consulted with the ENJOYS from
Bavaria, kWurtemberg, Saxony and Baden.
1t Is reported that Prince Hohenlohe de-
cIned the office owing to his age. The EN-
peror summoned Gen. Count Walderse, a
political soldier, conspicuous in the final
intrigue against Bismarck. The general
inference is tnat he intends to make him
CaprlyI's successor. Should Walderses he
come chancellor, the office of Prussian
premier would probably be given to him
shortly. thus the division of the two posts
effected at the time OF the school bill crisis
would be ended. There is a rumor that Gen.
Bornsart Won Schellenderf is candidate
for the Prussian premiership and chanoel-
loIshlp. Either of these generals would be
acceptable to the conservatives who have
become totally estranged from the govern
ment under the Caprivi regime.
CAUSE OF THE RESIGNATION.
The immediate cause of Chancellor Won
Capriyis resignation is not entirely clear.
1t Is known that differences between him
and Count BothoAu Eulen burg have grown
too sharp to be ignored or compromised.
Caprivi at the trst was strongly opposed to
the severe steps against the social Demo-
Gratis and Anarchists, and Eulenburg
favored extreme measures. Under the
pi essure from the Emperor, the chancellor
is said to have yielded several points early
in the week. but his master only got him in
to trouble with the federal ministers in
whose council he presided yesterday.
Several ministers opposed his pro-
posal that the Reichstag change
the penal code to deal more severely
with the Socialists. The individual states.
they said. should be left to legislate within
their own borders for the suppression of the
social democracy and anarchy. The chan
cellor was equally embarrassed when the
question of finaI cial reforms was broachod
The enyoys made several demands for
changes in financial relations of state and
empire. The chancellor was manifestly out
OF sympat thy with all.
Capri1i is believed to have been crushed
between the Emperor and the federal en-
voys. not going far enough to suit the for
mer and going TOO far to suit the latter.
The difficulties of his position were in
creased by the intrigues of Miguel and
Eulenburg. who for more than year
spared no effort to discredit his policies and
diminish his influence with the Crown.

Th Ammen Ram Given Her Dock Trial
Yesterday.
Bath, October 26.-The new ram Katahdin,
widely known as the Ammen ram, had a
dock trial today. The engines were run for
four hours with results which were highly
pleasing to Naval Contractor John b.
Hoover, and to the builders. The machinery
ran very smoothly, not a tremor of any
kind being observable. Part of the time the
boilers run under forced draft. This vessel
is designed by Admiral Ammen and will be
unique among naval vessels of the world.
Workmen are now engaged in riveting and
painting and the vessel will be ready for
her trial trip in a few weeks.
