gether at Sea.

B Baltimore, Md, June 24.-The Neptune
Line steamer Deano, Captain Evans,
from Rotterdam arrived today in bad
ly damaged condition. Shel had a big
hole in her bow and water in some of
her compartments.
Shortly after midnight Thursday,
while off Georges shoal near Nantucket,
Mass, the Delano collided with the oc-
can greyhound New York from New
York for Southampton. The night was
very dark. First Officer Cross was on
the bridge of the Delano when the New
York was first sighted by the lookout
man. The two boats were too close to-
gether to avoid a collision. The Delapo
was thrown to star board and the YES
sells coming together in slanting po-
sition. A hole twenty feet square was
torn in the Delano's bow and her bow
spirit, fore rigging and foretopmast were
carried away . The fore compartments
Immediately filed with water and but
for the safety bulkheads the steamer
must have gone down. The vessels re-
bounded and came together second
and third times. but no damage was
done by. these blows. The officers of the
Delano say there was great confusion
aboard the New York, and the passen-
gers were assured by the officers that
there was no danger and quiet was soon
restored. The vessels lay to for half an
hour when each sailed on it's course.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
Plans for the Coming Week in Senate
and House.

Washington, June "a The party lead
ers on both sides of the chamber agree
that this week will see the tariff bill
out of the Senate, but as to the precise
date there is divergence of opinion.
Messrs. Harris and Jones expect to see
the final vote taken not later than Tues
day evening. Mr. Aldrich, on the Re-
publ can side says it may be taken then,
but more likely it will be Thursday.
Mr.. Allison says the vote may be taken
Thursday and he hardly thinks it will
be reached before Saturday. The Re-
publicans have not abandoned the inten-
tion of fully debating certain PROPOSE
tlons found in the bill. Such as the
sugar schedule and its alleged connect
ion with the trust and investigation
now going on. Neither will they over
look the abandonment of reciprocal or
commercial arrangements made under
the provisions of the Mckinley act.
They reason that after the conferees
have made a report and the policy of
the controlling party as finally agreed
upon has become known, it will be am
pie time to discuss these subjects and
discuss them in the light of printed in
formation as to what the party in po wer
intends TO engraft in the law, and for that
reason there will not be much discussion
on these subjects this week.
1t is believed the income tax part of
the bill will be concluded tomorrow and
possibly the internal revenue paragraphs
A large mum bery, ,of amendgments are
still to be offered to the income tax and
the attack the Republicans intend max
ing on the increase in tax on whiskey,
may prevent those matters from being
disposed of in one day.
Tomorrow will be set aside for the
consideration in the House of business
relating to the affairs of the District of
Columbia. When the House adjourned
Saturday, the general deficiency appro-
priation bill was unfinished business.
The subjects in the bill undisposed Of
by the committee as whole are prom
ised to require an ordinary days ses-
sion for settlement.
Probabilities seem to be the other
general legislation5will not be consid-
cred before Wednesday. There are half
a dozen measures on the calendar whose
advocates are desirous of securing recog-
milton. A bill to admit New Mexico as
a state stands the best show for first
place. Another bill that nestles in the
good graces of the leaders, is that intro
dLced by Representative Cooper, Dem
ocrat, OF Indiana, authorizing the states
to tax green backs as gold and silver are
taxed. AS an alternative programme,
there are Mr.. fuckers joint resolution
| proposing amendment to the constitu-
tion to provide for the election of sena-
ors by the direct vote of the people, and
a bill reported by the committee or
| public buildings and grounds for the
erection of a government printing Office.

22O DEAD MINERS.
Horrible Result Of a Welsh Mine
Explosion.

There Are AT Least 200 Deaths, and
Distressing Scenes Are Witnessed at

Families of the Miners Went for News
-Bescuers are Searching the Mine But
Have So Far Found Only Bodies.
London, June 24.-An explosion occurred
today in the Albion coal mine near
Pont-Y-Pridd, Glamorganshire, Wales. Two
hundred men were under ground at the
time, and as soon as the shaft was fairly
clear of the dangerous gasses rescue party
descended, but found the way barred by
broken timbers and wrecked machinery
Eventually they left the shaft for the gal
lerles only to find thew works so badly dam
aged as to necessitate almost two hours de-
lay in getting at the men nearest the en-
trance. In the meantime no news, what
ever, of the imprisoned miners or rescue
party reached.the surface, and crowds gath
ered rapidly at the pit from other collieries
and nearby villages. The miners, wives
and children were there by hundreds.
awaiting the first news from below. and
making the usual distressing scenes. The
were indefinite and discouraging. Two
more rescue parties went down and with
other volunteers worked until ten O'Clock
this evening. Before any definite news
couli be got it was reported that hundred
men had been killed. At l1.30, however.
the estimate was reduced to eighty, The
works are SO badly choked with wrecakge
the work of exploring is very slow, and ac-
curate reports probably cannot.be had be-
fore tomorrow noon
LATER.
Further exploration of the Pont-Y- -Pridd
mine, in which the explosion occurred yes
terday, has shown the disaster far beyond
anything imagined last night. The number
of dead is 25l, the original report that only
2OO men were in the mine at the time, being
due to misunderstanding on the part of
the manager, who thought the shift of min
ers had just come up. Many dead bodies
are mangled beyond recognition.
The explorations of the mine are slow
and difficult, owing to the blocking of the
galleries with wreckage and dead horses.

CHINA AND JAPAN.
Said to be on the Verge of War Over
Korea.

Washington, June a4.-All advices re-
ceived here indicate the imminent pros
pect of an outbreak of active hostilities
between Japan and China. These. .coun-
tries have been several times on the
verge of war since 1879, but now it
seems as if hostilities could be no longer
averted and there appears possibility
that Korea may be made the battle
ground. The claim which China always
has set up of suzeranity over Korea.
while at the same time disclaiming tn e
responsibility for Korean action has
been fruitful source OF ill-feeling. Both
China and Japan are sen ding troops TO
Korea, but the numbers, as stated in
dispatches from Shanghi are thought to
be exaggeratea. ,aa.ttd a telegram received
ever, indicates the situation in Korea
as serious.

HIS ARTIFICE.
Paris, June 25.-When Santo, the as
sassin, was within a few feet of the
Presidents carriage, he waved paper
as if intending to present petition.
Meanwhile the assassin had been felled
to the ground by blow. He was sur
rounded by an angry crowd and cries of
"lynch him" was heard on all sides.
With the greatest difficulty the police
were ablesto protect him from the peo-
pie, and had not squad of mounted
guards surrounded and protected the
police on the way to the station, the
prisoner would have been taken from
them and beaten to death.
At.11.3 80 last evening the surgeon at
the prefecture issued the following:
The Presidents condition is alarm
ing but not hopeless. The wound is in
the region of the liver and hemorrhage
has now ceased"
An hour later the President was dead.
AT THE THEATRE.
At o'clock last night all were in
vired to attend the gala performance in
the Presidents honor and had gathered
in the Grand theatre Every seat and
outside boxes were filed The audience
awaited impatiently the arrival of the
presidential party. Suddenly, two men
ran up to the main entrance and called
out that the President was killed. The
news spread swiftly to the rear seats
of the theatre, thence passed like the
wind over the great audience. A few
women cried out in horror and the great
majority of those present refused to be-
lieve the intelligence. Several govern
ment officials present left the theatre to
obtain more information. 1t appeared
that all Lyons was at that moment as
sembling in Place Comedie. The multi
tude was packed together like a wall.
Suddenly landau proceeded by four
mounted soldiers, dashded out of Rue
De La Repu blique. In it were Adrien
Dupuy and Deputy Chaury. The crowd
mistaking the landau for the Presidents
carriage, cried: "Vive Carnot, Vive La
Repubique. Dupuy leaned from the car
riage and in tones of emotion said: Do
not shout, an attempt has just been
made upon the live of the President.
his words had an immediate effect upon
the crowd. On every side, expressions of
execration and vengeance filled the air.
They proceeded to the theatre and
M Riviaude advanced to the trout of the
Presidents box and said in voice brok-
en- with sobs: "The President of the Re-
public has been assassinated." The an
nouncement caused CONSERVATION among

The young assassin's full name was
given by. him at the police station as
Cezare Giovanni Santo. He is nearly
% years old, has very small moustache,
brown suit with a peaked cap of the

he looked continually to the right and
