FOUR MEN KILLED.
THEY MET DEATH AT SCRANTON,
PENNSYLVANIA.

Rhe Accident Occurred About Four Hun
dred Feet From the Earth's Surface.
Three Were Crushed by Fail Of Rock
and the Other Was Burned by an Ex-
plosioD - Afterlamp.
SCRANTON, Pa, March -Four men
put of a gang Of nine shaft sinkers were
killed in the Richmond shaft, in the
northern part of the city Tuesday
morning at 8 o'clock. The accident
was caused by the fall of shelf of rock
from the side of the shaft, near the bot
tom, and consequent explosion of a
blower of gas. The victims are: Thomas
HOW'LL, chargeman, burned to death;
Richard Hughes, single, 81 years.
James Northen. single. 80 years; Albert
Richards, single, "a years.
Hughes, Northen and Richards were
crushed to death by the rock. The two
latter had but recently come here from
the copper mines of Michigan and were
experienced in shaft work. Five others
of the shaft made their escape, though
some suffered slight bruises in their
scramble for safety.
The men were at work at the bottom
of the shaft, almost 400 feet from the
surface. They had but recently opened
the Clark vein and were clearing away
the coal at the foot of the shaft. Above
them hung a belllike piece of rock,
which projected slightly from the side
Of the shaft. This shelved downward
and had been somewhat loosened by
blasts set off by previous shift, under
charge of Foreman Oliver Turner.
When the latter went off duty he
warned the new shift of the danger.
For some as yet unexplained reason
they failed to properly protect them
selves and continued the work of re-
moving the coal. Suddenly the rock
gave way. Three were caught and
crushed to instant death.
Chargeman HOW'LL rushed away as
the fall came, with five others of the
men. He went further into the open
ing than his fellow workmen. He still
carried his naked lamp on his head.
Instantly there was shot of flame that
enveloped him in blaze, and with a
cry of horror he sank down helpless and
all afire The others tried to put out
the flames at their own peril, but before
they succeeded he was dead. The after
damp quickly gathered ana it was only
by prompt action that these survivors
succeeded in reaching the foot of the
shaft, and, signaling to the engineer,
were hoisted to the surface. Mine In
spector Roderick, Superintendent Crier
and Mine Workman Hailstone quickly
set about to bring out the dead bodies.
but it was necessary to clear the shaft
of the gas before this could be done.

The Morgan Report on Hawaii.

President Cleveland did not go duck
shooting day too soon. Hardly had the
+ vessel which bore him away from newspa-
pers and civilization disappeared in the
direction of the Dismal Swamp when the
report of TIE Senator Committee on Foreign
Relations was published containing the
ssverest arragnment that President not
actually impeached ever received at the
hands of a committee of Congress. The re-
port of Senator Morgan and his colleagues
is. in more than one respect, remarkable.
Not only is the infamous Hawaiian policy
OF the President repudiated and Minister
Stevens indicated, but Hawaii is declared
to be an American State, and annexation
advised as the logical and inevitable. outcome
Of the course pursusd for generations, alike
by Republican and Democratic administra-
tions. Even the minority report, signed by
such distinguished Democratic Senators as
Butler of South Carolina and Turple of In
diana, joins with the majority in approving
annexation, and in generating the dead
Captain Wiltse from the cowardly and false
accusations which Mr.. Cleveland had APP
proved and Endorsed,
The Morgan report shows that neither
Minister Stevens nor President Dole and
his associates, but Liliukalani herself,
originated the revolution which resulted in
the overthrow of the monarchy; that the
aim OF the Queen was absolutely, based on
nd hat lptin
movement ON the part of the Queen was
begun during the absence of the American
Minister Mr.. Stevens is fully exonerated
from blame. Blount, on whose report the
President based his decision to enter upon
his scheme of usurpation, treachery and adj
surdity, is adjudged by the Morgan report
to have been merely dupe. He acted with
honest purpose, the report says. but was de-
ceived by followers of the bloodthirsty ex-
Queen, The report is unsparing in denun-
citation of the men who deceived Blount,
especially the former Minister of LiliuokIani.
"Upon thcm," we are told, ''rest the obium

airy intentions of having thrown themselves
upon the mercy of the people and then
making an attempt. through falsehood and
misrepresentation to regain power in the
government of Hawaii, which the people
would naturally forever deny them"
The Presidents plea of not guilty of the
charge Of intending to go beyond his consti-
tutional authority is accepted by Senator
Morgan, but the report does not fail to
point out the gross usurpation of which the
President would have been guilty IL he had
actually intended all that he apparently did
attend. On this grave question the finding

1Hs COURT CIRCULAR
Announces the Retirement of the "Grand
Old Man"

announces the REQUIREMENT. Oh the '0rauu
Old Man"
LONDON, March 5.-The manner in
which the queen announces the retire
ment of Mr.. Gladstone to the people
will prove interesting to Americans. It
is contained in the court circular and is
written by court official. Every word
of this circular is generally submitted
to the queen in advance. The announce
ment is dated Windsor Castle, March 8,
and begins thus: THE queen accom-
panied by her royal highness Princess
Beatrice drove out yesterday after
noon"
the castle, headed by the names of the
children OF the Duchess of Albany,
Prince and Princess Henry of Batten-
berg, Hon. Thomas +. Bayard. Ameri-
can ambassador to the court of ST.
James, and the French ambassador,
ending with the names of Mr.. and Mrs
Gladstone. 1t then goes on to enumer-
ate all those who attended her maiesty's
dinner party, wherein the names of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone come last.
This is followed by the information
that the queen and Princess Beatrice
went out this morning, and then comes
the fact that cabinet council had been
held
Finally, following the announcement
anent the council. comes the announce
ment that the Right Hon. w. d. Glad
stone had an audience of the queen and
rendered his resignation which was
graciously accepted by her majesty.
1t adds that the queen has summoned
Earl Rosebery. X. G., secretary of state
for foreign affairs. and offered him the
post of prime minister, vacated by the
Right Hon W. e. Gladstone. M. p,
and that Roseberry has accepted her
majesty's offer.
Mr.. Gladstone wrote letter to Earl
Rosebery, congratulating him upon his
accession to the emiarship. In his
letter Mr.. Gladstone promised to aid
the new prime minister whenever his
assistance was asked.

The Bland Silver Seigniorage Bill Will

The Bland Silver Seigniorage Bill Will
Now BE Discussed.
WASHINGTON, March IA somewhat
amusing episode enlivened the senate
proceedings Tuesday, inaugurated by
Senator Berry's personal explanation.
A New York newspaper had included
him in group of portraits of non
Democratic senators whom it charged
with being ''obstru ctionists" to the
tariff bill. Mr.. Berry denied that he
had ever been anything but an earnest
advocate of the bill and on all occasions
had urged its speedy report to the SEN
ate without modification. His explana-
ton was followed by explanations from
Senators Faulkner, Call, McLaurin and
Morgan, which led to much amusement
in the senate chamber.
The main interest of the day CEN
tered about the discussion as to the dis
posal of the Bland bill.
Mr.. Stewart gave notice that today
at 2 o'clock he would move to take it
up and make it the business before the
senate until disposed of. Mr. Teller
also spoke on the same subject.
After a brief executive session the
senate adjourned at $3.50 o'clock.

was an unconstitutional act; that the orders
of the executive department placing the
naval force under command of Mr.. Blount
and afterward OF Mr.. Willis were without
warrant of law; that Blount had no author
ity to lower the American flag and that Mr..
Cleveland had no right to interfere between
the Provincial Government and the ex-
Queen without an invitation from from both
parties concerned.
Undoubtedly the most striking feature of
the report is the virtually unanimous ex-
preston by the Foreign Affairs Committee
of the Senate in favor of the annexation of
Hawaii Senator Morgan's report states
that the testimony taken by the committee
discloses the well considered opinion of
| several Of our most eminent naval and mill
| tary officers that the annexation of Hawaii
is indispensable to the proper defense and
! protection of our western coast and cities.
While pronouncing no direct judgment as
! to the annexation question, the whole tone
OF the report is favorable to that solution,
and Senators Butler aud Turpie declare, In
a separate statement, that they ''are heartily
in favor of the acquisition of those islands
by the United States, and in proper case
and ON appropriate occasion would earnestly
advocate the same" The following declar-
alton against monarchy, embodied in Sena-
tor Morgan's report, is in the true American
spirit. 1t is an echo of the Declaration of
independence, and protest against any
truce with the monarchiacal idea.
Hawaii is an American State, and is
embraced in the American commercial and
military system. In this attitude of the two
governments, Hawaii must be entitled to
demand of the United States an indulgent
consideration, if not an active sympathy,
where she is endeavoring to accomplish
what every other American State has
achieved-the release Of her people from the
odius anti-republican regime which denies
to the people the right to govern themselves
and subordinates them to the supposed
divine right of monarch whose title to
such divinity originated in the most slavish
conditions of pagan barbarity.
The kings and emperors who viewed with
approval Mr.. Cleveland's championship of
monarchy should heed these words. They
express the heartfelt sentiment of every
American loyal to the principles and institu-
tons of the Republic; sentiment as strong
| and earnest and res0lute today as when the
stars and stripes waved in triumph over the
redoubts at Yorktown.
