Safely Landed I'm Cuba.

TAMPA, Fla, July 31.-The long delayed
Roloff expedition, which left Key West
early in June, has landed safely In Cuba.
Up to the 18th inst. the party was de-
tanned on an obscure Florida key, owing
to improper instructions given steamer
which was to convey them to Cuba Tho
provisions they had afforded subsistence
for few days, after which they obtained
food from adjacent keys The hardships
while on this island, exposed to the Gle
ments, were great and twenty-five of tho
goo deserted, making their way to Key
West and Tampa, where they were put
under the oath of secrecy. The expedition
was finally taken from the key by rescue
steamer, and were landed near Las Tunas
de Zaza last Saturday night.

THE NEW BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
Conservatives and Liberal UnionIsts Have
q Majority of 15e.


Majority of 15e.
LONDON, July 31.-With the exception
of the polling in orkneyspnd Shetland,
which was formerly represented by Sir L.
Lyell, Liberal, and the result of which
will not be known until the end of tile
week, the new parliament is now COM
plete The division Of parties is as fol-
lows: Conservatives, BAL; Liberal Union
lists, 70; government total, All. Liberals,
ia; McCarthyites, 20; Parnellites 1s;
Labor 3; total opposition, S59, Govern
ment majority, 1853. Conservative major
ity over all, 12
Thus the Conservatives and Liberal
Unionists, with a net gain Of 90 seats, will
have a majority of 152 the largest in the
memory of the present generation. The
Conservatives are made Independent even
Of coalition Of all the other parties, in
cluding the Liberal Unionists.
The aggregate vote In the contested cleo
tions In Great Britain was as follows:
Conservatives and Liberal Unionists,
1,725 455; Liberal, 1,e2s, ,a47; Labor, 90, ,566;
total, 8,404,e6S. But as ia Of the Union
ist candidates for parliament were re-
turned unopposed, no reliable estimate
can be formed Of the electoral strength Of
the parties.
The Liberal and Radical press are daily
engaged in trying to explain the defeat,
but to little purpose. The broad fact Of
the situation Is that the Conservatives are
not likely to be displaced for Ave or six
years, unless dissensions should arise in
the cabinet between the sections led re-
spectively by Mr. Balfour, Conservative,
and Mr.. Chamberlain, Liberal Unionist.

riot which occurred yesterday, resulting
In the death or deputy sheriff and a
pumber Of negroes, and the fatal wound
Ing of another deputy. The fight, which
lasted for over two hours, was between an
organized band of white miners, headed
by Deputy Shetiffs A. T. Wood and Joel
Baxter, who were trying to arrest Jim
Biggers, a negro, and a crowd of the lat
ter's friends. over 15o shots were fired
Mine Boss Silverhouse, of the Sloss Iron
snd Steel company, discharged Biggers for
violation of the mine rules Biggers re.
mained about the place making threats.
He refused to leave the company's prem
ises, and variant was sworn out for his
arrest for tresphssing, and Deputy Sheriff
Wood and Special Deputy Joel Baxter
went to arrest him. AS they approached
Biggers fired upon them with Winches-
ter rifle. A bullet passed through Woods
head and another through his heart, kill
wounded, but was able to get back to the
camp and give the alarm.
The whole force of miners at once or
ganized and went to arrest Biggers. The
latter, in the meantime, had called in a
number Of his negro friends and when
the two parties met a pitched battle re.
suited, the negroes finally fleeing to the
woods. 1t Is now said that q half dozen
or more were shot down, several Of whom
were killed outright and the others badly
wounded.
Deputy Woods, who was killed, was ex-
sheriff Of Talladega county. 1t is believed
that the arriv Rl Of the force Of officers
from this city will restore quiet and that
no further demonstration will be made by
the negroes.
Trouble between the white and black
miners employed at the Slosser company's
mines at Brook side has been brewing for
some time. There has always been i'll
feeling between the two races, and it
needed but the first shot to bring on a
fight.

4 KANSAS NgNDATION.
1t Causes Immense Destruction to
Property in Fort Scott.
DROWNED ON A PRINCIPAL STREET

While Attempting to Gross Bridge with
Their Father Two Boys Are Swept to
Their Death-The Father Rescued from
Tree Top.
FORT SCOTT, Kan. July 81.-An unpre-
cedented precipitation of rain In the
southeast corner of Kansas has again
flooded the streams and wreaked destruc,
tion to Life and property. In seven hours
t.22 inches Of water fell In the city, and
the entire southern portion of the town is
inundated. Two fatalities have SO far re-
suited from the sudden rise.
Walter Austin and Willie Gould, two
young boys, were drowned last evening on
one of the principal streets, and o. Austin,
father OF one of tho boys was carried 200
yards In the treacherous current and
finally rescued from the top Of tree by
boatmen. Mr.. Austin, accompanied by
the boys, attempted to cross Mill creek
bridge, which was surrounded by water,
in wagon. They proceeded 150 feet
through the water, when tho wagon and
horses were swept away. He made a des-
perate effort to rescue the boys, but was
helpless. The bodies of the boys have not
been recovered.
Tho damage to property will exceed that
of the flood of the 9th inst, which was
more destructive than any for years. The
crops on bottom farms will suffer ma
terially.
The Missouri Pacific railroad shops are
surrounded and the train service has been
partially abapdoned. Many families have
been driven from their homes by the tres
passing river, which is still rising, and
another storm is threatening The Mar
nation river, Mill creek and Buck run
have spread over sections Of land which
have not for years been submerged.

Commsnt by Rev. 8. II. Doyle.
TorIc -Christ's work for the world.-Joln
I, I-M. "a topical song service led by the mu-
sic committee suggested)
The prologue to the gospel of John
deals principally with the divinity of
Christ, His relation TO the world at Gre
alton, His coming into the world as
man, and His rejection by the world. In
this passage then we have not only
Christ's relation to God, but also to the
world, and several Of His works in re-
iation to the world are suggested.
1. Christ's work as the revelation of
God to the world. Christ is here called
the "Word." =" Words reveal something
and Christ was called the Word because
he was to reveal God to the world The
world was not in entire ignorance of
God Nature revealed the fact that there
must be Supreme Being and some OF
His attributes, but this knowledge
would not save, and therefore God sent
Christ to reveal Him. Christ revealed
the spirituality Of God, His fatherhood,
but most of all the way of access to and
reconciliation with God.
Q. Christ's work as creator of the
world "All things were made by Him,
and without Him was not anything
made that was made" But, although
Christ was the creator of the world, yet
when Ho came into the world, it did
not receive Him. "He casue unto His
own, but His own received Him not. "
As creator of the world IL belonged to
Him, yet this relationship was not nc,
knowledged when Christ came But all
did not reject Him, and "as many as re-
ceived Him, to them gave He power to
become the sons Of God. 1t paid to ac-
cept Christ. 1t still pays to accept Him
1t pays for time and for eternity, for
"godliness is profitable unto all things,
having promise Of the life that now is
and Of that which is to come"
8. Christ's work as the light of the
world. "m Him was life, and the life
was the light of men. ~ "That was the
true light, which hghteth every man
that cometh into the world" The world
into it, and He became its life by dis
polling the darkness and thus becoming
its light. AS the light Of the world
Christ scattered the darkness of the
world concerning God, sin, salvation
and the future life. He was the true
light, in that He was opposed to all
false lights, that He was distinct from
the imperfect lights and that He Him
elf was the only true light of the world

Over SIXTY New York Contractors Have
Signed the New Agreement.
NEW YoRK, July 8i.-The contractors
are coming forward In such numbers to
accede to the demands OF tho striking
tailors that 1t appears probable that the
strike will soon be ended More than sixty
contractors have signed the new agree
ment, which dlsplaces the pieco work sys-
tenn and In its place creates weekly scale
of wages. These are tho leading contract
ors of the city, and they employ from flf
teen to fifty workmen each As result
1000 tailors resumed work at their benches
this morning The settlement committee
will continue to hold daily sessions until
all the contractors are accommodated who
desire 10 be.
Mass meetings were held at waihalla
hall in almost continuous sessions from
10 o'clock yesterday morning, the princi-
pal speakers being Samuel Gompers, Hey.
man Robinson and Meyer Schoenfeld
Last night another monster meeting was
held at Cooper Union. 1t was a remark
able gathering Of strikers, hundreds Of
women and young girls being among the
most earnest and demonstrative of the
audience.
Charles +. Reichers, president Of the
United Garment Workers of America,
was chairman. "We must win this fight
or lose what we have already gained" /" he
declared. I'VE must do away with the
tenement house evil, the crowding Of hard
workers in the sweat shops, and the system
which allows that iniquity Last year we
did away with the task system. This year
we must do away with the system that
permits the contractors to bleed our work
srs. We must deal direct with the manu-
facturers."
Samuel Gompers, the national labor
leader, declared that the strike was in
line with the movement OF the working
men all all over the country for shorter
hours oflabor. He said: 1.-THE time has
come when hours OF labor must be re-
duced. May /, 1895, the organized labor
movement Of America will demand the
