The Liberals Campa,gu

LONDON, Oct, 27-The liberals tonight
opened their electoral campaign at Brad
fort, where a meeting was held, which
was attended by 5000 people. Prime
minister Roseberry delivered the princi-
pie speech. He said that ia his opinion
the next general election would not be
found on the home rule, disestablishment
of the church in Wales. or the liquor
question, but on question which would
include all. The matter of lords was the
greatest active question that had arisen
in two centuries. 1t has long been
evident to him that drastic dealings
with the house of lords must precede the
full realization of other programmes. He
admitted freely that all experience
pointed to the necessity of second
chamber of some sort, but to his mind ii
was an absolute danger that there should
be second chamber in the position of
of the house of lords. It was therefore,
as lover of legislation and freedom, that
he implored the people to take this
question into immediate consideration.

sandwich Island News.

San FRANCISCO, Oct. 26 The steam
ship Alameda arrived this morning from
Sydney, Auckland, Apia and Honolulu,
bringing the following news advices,
under date of Honolulu, Oct. IS:
Rumors of royalist uprising have
been very scarce for the last few months,
but, now that the first election of the
new republic draws near, these reports
have again been circulated. This time
election day, October 30, has been chosen
as the date OF an attempt to restore the
queen, but very. little stock is taken IN
the tale.
The nominations for senators and rep.
resentat1ves have been made. Out of 12
chosen for this island Oahu, only two
are natives, ard this has caused some
criticism among the native snnexationists.
Every nominee has been pledged to the
support of the annexation plank IN the
platform, to the exclusion of everything
else.
Sanford Fleming, the Englishman who
has been in Honolulu for some time in
the interests of the British Cable Com
psny, which proposes to lay cable to
Australia, leaves on the steamer today
He has asked the government to cede
Neckar island to England, claiming If
this is done the cable project will at
once be carried through, and Neckar
island will be the half way house between
Victoria and Australia, with branch
line to Honolulu. He has also asked for
an exclusive cable right on Hawsilau
territory The latter proposition has not
met with the approval of the Hawaiian
government. and will probably net be
accepted. The former grant would
probably be made under certain condit-
ions. At present no definite arrange
ment has been concluded.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-Secretary
Gresham has made a very strong repre-"

to the injustice to the United States of
the order prohibiting the importation of
American cattle and fresh meat into Ger

taken without sufficient evidence of the
existence OF disease among the cattle ex-
ported from the United States or its con

of the order, for time at least, to afford

Entombed In a 1IIne

| IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, Oct &c The
fate of the IL entombed miners in the Pa
wabic mine will not be known for some
hours yet, probably not until 2 o'clock
An immense mass OF rock, iron ore and
broken timbers, 20 feet 10 length, is to be
cleared away. superintendent Brown is
confident all but three will be taken out
alive, and has hopes of all. The accident
was caused by the sandstone capplng on
the hard level in shaft No, II giving
way.
Following is correct list of the en-
tombed men: Thomas Penglase, W
Oliver, S Husband, G Wilcox, Allen,
w Bard, G Poren, J Thomas, G Rickard,
E HeIiberg, Farrell and P Hascoe.
The shaft boss, and the only man known
escaped uniujured, states the accident
was caused by running water eating away
/ the sandstone Gaping 10 a room 100 feet
in height on the third level. THIS i'm
mense mass of rock. weighing hundreds
of tons, crushed through the floor of the
level, carrying away the timbers and
everything to the fourth level, on which
the men were working. He heard the
laundering crash, and by fast running
escaped. Peter GarbardI, trimmer, at
work directly under the falling rock was
crushed to death. His body has been
recovered. Cutting a road through this
wreckage to the room in which the men
are mbed cannot be done hastily. for
the walls have to be heavily timbered as
the work progresses, to avoid another fall
of the ground Although hard and
persistent work has been done since the
disaster occurred by as many eager men
as could be worked to advantage, only
the seemingly short distance of 15 feet
has been cut through, and 15 feet has vet
10 be cut, which will take until evening.
An ominous feature, and one that con-
vinces many miners the men will be
found dead, is that although only 10 feet
awav not sound has been heard to in
dicate they were alive. The miners
agree that were the men alive thic fact
would have been made known by some
noise. 1t is the general impression they
have been suffocated BY gunpowder gas.
Superinteudent Brown maintains there is
an abundance of god cir in the room,
and Is con tident eight of lhe imprisoned
men will be found uabarmed Three,
be thinks, may have been crushed to
death. This is the worst accident of the
kind that ever occurred in this range,
the only approach to it being the caving
in of the shaft at Keldridge nine 10 years
ago, when nine men were buried alive
and their remains never recovered.
Some of the entombed men are alive.
This fact was ascertalned py signalling
with hammers. 1t is confidently ex-
pected the men will be reached by 6
o'clock.

The new ChanceIIor

BERLIN, Oct. 27-Prince Won Hohen.'
lohe Schlllingsfurst, governor of Alsace-
Lorraine, az the result of his conference
with the emperor at Potsdam, has ac-
cepted the appointment of chancellor to
succeed General Antonio Caprivi, and
also the portfolio of the president of the
Prusslan council of ministers, vacated by
the resignation Of Count Botho Zu Eulen-
berg, whose resignation the emperor has
accepted. Baron Koeller's appointment
to be the Prussian minister of the interior
has also been made known. The em-
peror's choice of Hohenlohe for cham
ceIlor is taken as evidence that his

treme measures required to prevent the
spread of socialism. Hohenlohe, although
IA years of age, Is very active physically
and mentally.
