Miners Overcome by Gas.

Angels Camp, Cal, July 25.-The
vicinity of the Utica mine here re-
sembles battlefield, with the dead and
dying lying round. Scores of men are
stretched out, while those most serious
ly affected are being conveyed to the
company's hospital. In attempting to
remove the bulkhead of the Utica north
shaft, fifty or sixty men were overcome
by the escaping gas AS one man
would fall another stood ready to take
his place. Finally the bulkhead had
to be blasted out, and the gas issued
in such volumes that no one could go
near.
The water in the sickle compart-
ment of the mine is about fifty feet
above the 800 level and it Is believed
the fire is extinguished, although this
is not certain. Flooding practically
ceased this morning. Granting that
the fire is out, it will take fully a
month to pump the water out of the
sickle. Angels camp will not recover
from the effects of the catastrophe for
a long time, as hund1e eds Of men with
families are thrown temporarily out OF
employment.

of the Recent Massacres
in China.
Victoria, July 25.-The Empress of
India arrived this evening with Toxic
advices to July IL.
The japanese authorities are in pos
session of information from China,
giving a new explanation of the riots
in SEE Chuan, and directly duplicating
the Picking government. Among the
commercial stipulations in the peace
treaty with Japan. that of opening the
remote interior to foreign trade has
met with the strongest objections from
the court and the tsung Ii yamen, and
it is alleged that Viceroy Liu was Sc
cretly instructed to foment disturb
ances in order to prove that the Upper
Yang tse provinces were unsafe to
strangers. By this means, it was
hoped that aliens might be prevented
from availing themselves of the newly
granted privilege. But since the out
RACES have been presented with who'll
ly unexpected spirit, the government
has taken fright and endeavors to es-
cape the responsibility by degrading
Lui and making him the scapegoat
This is more than the deposed viceroy
is willing to endure, and his followers
threaten, in case he is subjected to
public trial, as the French envoy pro-
poses, to publish facts iculpating
some of the highest dignitaries of the
empire. If Liu must fall, he is deter
mined that others greater than he
shall 60 down with him.

New York, July IA Herald dis
patch from Buenos Ayres says:
A correspondent in Rio Janeiro tele-
graphs that advices to the English le-
CATION there declare that England
claims the island of Trinidad as her
own. One cargo of coal, it is reported,
has been landed on the island already
In view of this it was decided by
Brazil's cabinet to formally protest,
and message to that effect was at
once sent to Brazil's minister in Lon
don. Fierce articles have appeared in
the Brazilian papers denouncing Eng
land for her appropriation of territory
belonging to Brazil, as that country
affirms. The correspondent says that
these articles ask particularly where
the Monroe doctrine applies now. They
desire to see it used as a political me-
dunn in settling the question.
Senior Cabral, the governor of the
territory of Amapa, has arrived in

Japan Wide Awake.

New York, July 27.-Captain Geo.
w. Goodwin, of the Dirigo, the first
and only steel sailing vessel built in
the United States, today talked on the
outlook for an increased trade between
this country and the Orient. Captain
Goodwin said:
1--WE have ON board ten tons of ia
pan rice, the first consignment of rice
ever brought from that country to the
United States in sailing vessel. Jap
anese merchants are much interested
in the experiment. Underwriters re-
fused to take risks on the rice. Our
cargo is in perfect condition. Com
pared with what is bound to be in a
few years, the trade with the Oriental
countries, especially Japan, is now in
its infancy. If Americans do not look
out the bulk of that trade will go to
Japan. They are preparing for the in
crease in commerce, which, they say,
is bound to come. -

New York, July PA special to
the World from Colon says:
Word comes from Panama that the
dock labOrers and brakemen ON the
Panama railroad there have joined the

FLOODS IN NEW MEXICO.
Torrent Rushes Through New Mexico,
Doing Immense Damage.

Silver City, N. NJ, July 25.-Be-
tween o'clock and midnight Sunday
night, five inches of rain fell in this
city and on the mountains to the north.
Before 9 o'clock the water was rushing
down the mountain sides III torrents,
and few minutes later the business
streets of this city were filled with a
flood from four to eight feet deep. The
grade of the streets is heavy, and the
water rushed through the streets with
such swiftness that crossing was i'm
possible. A foot-bridge which had been
so that the people in the
lower part of town could cross to
place of safety in case of flood, was
swept away, and all means of getting
out of the flooded district was cut off.
The night was intensely dark, and for
three hours the people Of the city were
panic stricken. Scores of people gave
themselves up for lost when some of
the weaker buildings began to crumble
before the destructive flood. Nine of
the buildings were washed down and
many others injured, but, strange as it
may seem, no lives were lost The
business part of the city beggars de-
scription. Many buildings are set
Ting, and the amount of the loss may
reach thousands of dollars more than
the losses which are now certain
Some estimates place the loss as high
as $500, 900, but this is probably Excess
sive. The railroad company sustained
heavy loss, and it Will take more than
a week to repair the track so that
train can be got here. Telegraph COM
munica ton has Just been established.

Protest Against the Durrant Play.

San Francisco, July "a. - Local
clergymen are making a vigorous pro-
test against the production of 1.-THE
Durrant Case play based on the
Emanuel church murders which was
recently written. In preaching on the
subject last evening Rev. w. w.
Case of the Howard street Methodist
church said:
1.-The dramatization of the horrible
murders at the Emanuel Baptist
church." he said, should be con-
demned. Theater managers who put
such play on the boards would do
more to corrupt the youth of the city
than all the hell-holes of iniquity that
flourish in San Francisco. Such plays
would tend to cultivate morbid spirit
and lead the young men and women on
the way to destruction.

To Manufacture Bikes.

Sacramento, CAL, July 26.-Paul
Steck, of firm of engineers, machin-
lists, etc., is in town for the purpose of
forming stock company to establish
a bicycle factory here. He says that
he has obtained satisfactory terms from
Gallatin & Livermore for the use of
electric power from Folsom, and that
the brazing, heating, drying and other
work in the factory can be done by
electricity, so it will not be necessary
to burn a pound of coal. The PROPOSE
ton has been laid before the Industrial
Improvement Association. Since the
introduction of cheap electrical power
into Sacramento the matter of starting
several manufacturing enterprises has
been discussed. Manufacturers in
various parts of the country are writ
ing for particulars of the new power,

SOUTHERN COAL COMBINE
VIII Control Almost the Entire Output
of Several States.

I
of Several States.
Chicago, July PA special from
Chattanooga, says:
Within the next three months the
manufacturers of the South are to feel
the grasp of the biggest coal combine
ever formed. 1t is to embrace and
control almost the entire output of
nearly all the mines in Virginia, Ken
lucky, Georgia and Alabama, the total
value of which is nearly 5000, 900, and
this is to be the capital stock of the or
ganlzatlon. This movement was start
ed months ago and later several meet
lngs have been held, and the last one
at Lookout Mountain two days ago.
For more than year prices on coal
and coke have been going down and
down, until coke is now being manu-
featured and coal mined at a loss to the
companies. Every mine and every
coal dealer has put its product on the
market at whatever figure it could
bring. 1t is to establish standard of
prices that the combine is to be formed.
In short the purpose of the organiza-
ton is to advance the price of coal to
all consumers, but especially to manu-
facturers, 2 per cent.
There were nearly thirty representa-
tlves OF the big mines at the meeting
on the mountain. Altogether the COM
bine will include seven eighths' of the
coal-mining interests of the South and
represent millions of dollars. The
mines interested are located in what is
known as the seven chief mining dis
tricts of the South. At present there
are no officers, except Mr.. Pratt, of the
Jelico mines, who was made temper
airy president until the permanent
officers were named. One effect of the
generalization in the price of coal and
coke has been a gradual decrease in the
wages of miners until the scale of wages
is now lower than it was ever known
to be in the mining districts. The
coal men claim that if the combine is
forced they will be able to restore
wages of the miners to their former
scales.
An advance of 2 per cent has already
been made on steam coal at Atlanta,
and similar advance will be ordered
in all other southern cities.

Was a Fraud.

The California Fruit Sold in London
Was Fraud.
London, July 25. - Reports have
California fruit which arrived here last
week by the steamer Paris from New
York, and was sold at Covent Garden
market at auction Friday last, was not
looked upon with favor in some quar-
tiers. Several leading dealers who pur
chased the fruit were interviewed.
They all said they were disappointed
with the goods, which, when opened
for inspection previous to the sale,
seemed firm and hard. But the dealers
say they became discolored when the
papers were removed and the fruit eX-
posed to the air. They also said the
plums were not Of desirable quality.
One of them said:
eve account for the large prices
paid for the fruit by the fact that fruit
is scare on the continent and in Eng
land. The next lot will not realize
the same prices.
Another dealer said:
81 lost the money l paid for the
fruit. The fruit is undesirable for
table use, so far as the English buyer
is concerned"
One of the largest dealers has writ
ten to White & Co., the auctioneers,
demanding a rebate, on the ground that
the fruit is not a desirable kind. The
dealers showed samples of the fruit in
support of their criticism.
