AS the bodies began TO arrive at the sur
face Of the mine slope the excitement OF
the wives and mothers, and, for that mat
ter, the whole populaeo, became almost
uncomfortable. When the last Of the 81
bodies was brought out, they began to
quiet down. Many Of thom were COM
pletely prostrated by their violent grief
Superintendent Ramsey, in speaking OF
the disaster, said: "a IS soon as the alarm
was sounded the men working at the fan
on top Of the hill noticed smoke coming
from the air course and not knowing the
cause Immediately shut down the fan.
They did just what they should have done,
and had the miners not fingered so long

have all been saved, but the smoke sur
rounded them, and before they were aware

Their Fatal Delay.
All those who were 200 ana 300 feet up
in the breast had time TO climb down to
the gangway, and some of them escaped.

minutes later 81 men were dead.
AS soon as tho dead arrived at the sur,
face Superintendent Ramsey had another
party carry them to the old engine room,
there TO lay them out In rows on the floor.
The sight chilled the people with horror
Thirty-seyen men without a scratch lying
dead was indeed horrible sight
The few who escaped were greeted with
great demonstrations of Joy on reaching

The origin Of the fire is supposed to be
duo to spontaneous combustion, caused
by refuse and screenings IN tho bottom
Of the breast catching fire. 1t is sug-
gested that possibly the fire had heen

The town Of New Castle is Democratic
about four to one Mayor Herbert is one
of the most ''up TO the times" and public
spirited men ia New Castle He comes
OF one Of the finest families in Delaware.
His father was a native OF Philadelphia.
and was treasurer of the State Of Della
ware for four years. For thirty five years
he attended every Democratic State con-
vention. In 1886 was p candidate for
governor. He was the FIRST Democratic
sheriff the county had for long time.
Hon. Frank r. Herbert was elented
mayor Ia 1892 He is notary public and
in the insurance and real estate business.
My impression is, he was educated for
the bar. Anyhow, he is smart enough
to be lawyer He has had the benefit
OF exter sive travel, and Is very polished
gentleman according to Southern ideas.
New Castle has fne railroad connec
tions Eighteen trains pass there daily.

THE NEW COMMERCIAL ARRANGEMENT ADOPTED

THE NEW COMMERCIAL ARRANGEMENT ADOPTED
BY THE FRENCH CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
Paris. Nov 27-The Chamber of Deputies to-day
voted to adopt the proposed commercial arrange
ment with Canada. The opponents Of the arrange
ment urged the Chamber to take notice of the ad-
vantages which had been accorded to Canadian
timber and apples. which hurtful to the pro-
ducers Of Northern France. Canada's concessions
to the ,rade Of Southern France they argued. did
not compensate for the injury done to the northern
part of the republic.
VI. Berger replied that the Canadian convention
would facilitate the export OF French wines and
general French products. which would go to the
Orient by way of the new direct line OF steam
ers from France to the Dominion of Canada.
Comte de Pontbriant condemned the constant
changes In tariff. The convention. ne said. would
prevent the sale OF French apples and preserved
fruits
NJ. Hanotaux. the Foreign Minister contended
that the convention would be to the advantage Of
French commerce generally. This the first
time that Canada had concluded a treaty by virtue
OF the powers recently conceded to the Dominion
by the Imperial Government. RecOllecting her
origin. Canada had decided to conclude her first
t6aty with France. (APp!ause.)
NJ. Hemon said ii was a fact that the population
OF Canada largely composed Of descendants OF
the Bretons and Normans. but that ought not TO be
reason for the adoption OF a treaty with the Do
minion which would be harmful TO the agrculturists
dusry OF the country TO be injured merely 10 favor

sided at Armenian meeting in London this
ing. at which letters and kilograms were read IA
vorng the proposed Indignation meeting in Lon

The chairman in his speech said that he must

Commons. against the mistaken and unworthy
policy of Great Britain in perssting in screening
the Infamous agents of Turkey in Armenia Lord
Kimberley's compacency in his recent letter in
reply to the Armenian Society remarkable.
He thought the Foreign Secretary failed to appre-
ciate the feeling of Engshmen. 1t was little
short of criminal to have withheld consular re-
ports from Parliament, as had been done in the
last four years. especially in view of Mr.. Glad
stones emphatic utterances when denouncing the
Armenian horrors in 1889. The speaker appealed to
the press to assist to the utmost the Armenian
He loudly applauded.
Mr.. Hagopian. chairman of the Armenian Pa
triotic Association. appealed for united action.
Professor Agar Beet urged continued appeals to
the Governments and peoples OF Europe.
The meeting decided TO arrange for a gathering
in December Resolutions adopted appealing
TO the Government to publish the consular reports
the Armenian troubles, and proposing an inter
national consular inquiry into the massacre, anu
the adoption OF more decided policy In enforcing
the Berlin Treaty.
a long letter from Canon McColl was read, as
serting that the Porte was answerable directly
and indirectly for all the Armenian nassacres.

sioners utter farce and insisting that the
Powers should operate IN accordance with the
