realize the situation better il they con
slider that three sales OF bonds in a little
over a year, ending February 8, increased
the national debt S162, 100000, but to
that great deficit would be added another
still greater on merchandise account, if
the increase in dutiable imports should
continue at the rate Of January and Feb
ruary. The exports Of merchandise in
those two months we're about $8,30O,O00
less than last year. No gain is to be ex-
pected until new crops here and abroad
are substantially known. Large crops of
the great staples, with the heavy stocks
in sight, would ruinously depress prices,
while small crops would not leave enough
margin for increase in exports. 1t is
therefore reasonably questionable, re-
marks the New York Tribune, whether
the country can export during the cal
endar year as much as it exported last
year, while the imports are increasing.
This is the natural and deliberately in
tended result of the new tariff, which 80
far cut down duties as t. stimulate I'M.
ports of foreign goods. The effect of the
increased competition upon home in
dustrles is not here considered. but only
the question whether the country can
afford to take from abroad this year
more goods by s16s, 100000 in value than
it took last year, when the government
mad to borrow nearly as much.

MIR. BlSSELL RESIGNS.
William l.. Wilson to BE Made Pos tmas
ter General.
By the United Press

Washington, Feb. 27.-Postmaster
General Bissell sat at rest all doubts
as to his purpose of remaining in the
cabinet by rendering his resignation 70
President Cleveland this afternoon.
There is no reason to doubt that Mr..
Bisselrs successor will be Congressman
William l.. Wilson, of West Virginia.
1t is also understood that Mr.. Wilson's
name will be sent TO the senate tomor-
row. But for the fact that the presi-
dent intended making Mr.. Wilson a
member of his official family, tender
of the Mexican mission would, it IS
said, have been made to him. The pres
ident has been sincerely desirous of APP
pointing Mr.. Wilson Ito some office of a
dignity and Importance commensurate
with the West Nirginian's abilities and
his loyalty to the principles of the DEM
ocratic party. When the president
learned ten days ago that Mr.. Bis
sell purposed soon TO retire from the
cabinet he decided that he should be
succeeded by Mr.. Wilson. This, at least,
is the story given out by Mr.. Wilson's
friends tonight, and there are substan-
tial reasons for believing that 1t is
we'll founded.

by the House.
BY the United Press.

BY the United Press.
Washington, Feb. 27.-The senate
spent five hours today in debate on the
amendment to the sundry civil appro-
priation bill, reported from the COM
mittee on appropriations, providing for
an issue of 500, 100000 certificates of in
debtedness bearing per cent. interest,
to meet deficiencies in the treasury and
also requiring future issues of bonds to
be offered to the public for at least
twenty days.
Mr.. German, Maryland, who was
recognized as the responsible author of
the amendment. spoke for over an hour
in advocacy of 1t, showing the probable
need of the treasury during the fiscal
year and declaring that the secretary
OF the treasury was entirely mistaken
in his estimates. The antagonists of the
amendment We're all found on the DEM
ocratic side of the chamber, in the per-
sons of Senators Hill, Mills, Voorhees,
and Villas. which was, perhaps, the
cause of Mr.. Gorman's subsequent al.
lusion to Sudden conversions-such as
We're read of in Scripture
The supporters of the amendment
were on the Republican side, and in
cluded Senators Sherman and Allison.
Finally, as it was clear to Mr.. German
and all other senators that the amend
ment-if held to be in order-would be
debated till March 4 next, Mr.. Cor
man withdrew the amendment, and the
appropriation bill was then offered and
agreed to- Unanimous consent was
given to have final vote taken on the
m nj,
sion was thereby avoided.
Bills Agreed To in House.
In the course of the day conference
reports on the following bills were
agreed to: The pension appropriation
bill; bill granting a pension of $50
month to General Harrison C. Hobart
the bill to equalize the duties and sal
aries of the steamboat inspection SER
vice. and the postofiice appropriation
bill. Upon each of the pension and
postoffice appropriation bills there was
quite a debate and with regard to the
latter the house voted by an over
whelming majority to concur in the sem
ate amendment limiting to railway
postal clerks hereafter to be appointed

order requiring them to live on the
routes where they are employed.
The senate amendment to the house

He was surprised at his house at mid
night by squad of thirty policemen
and, without any resistance, was con-
veyed to police station. When the ar
rest was made public great excitement
prevailed among his followers, one of
whom threatened to attempt rescue,
while others are of the belief that Bed
ward, through his own powers, can
escape punishment.
Bedward began his operations about
a year and a half ago. He started out
by proclaming himself prophet sent
by God to heal the sick. He erected his
altar on the bank of a stream called
Mona, a few miles back of Kingston,
and invited the people to come and
bathe in the waters that 'he blessed,
asserting that they could thus be cured
of any disease. In a month his morn
ing congregation often numbered 1000
or 5000 people. Old men too weak to
walk, cripples and lepers were carried
to the waters by their friends.

Disastrous Mining Accident at White Ash.

By the United Press.


BY the United Press.
Cerrilos, N. NJ, Feb. 27.-A disastrous
mining accident was reported from
White Ash, three miles from here, this
afternoon. Enough is known to show
that many lives have been lost. At 4
D. m. eleven bodies had been taken
out The accident occurred this morn
ing in thd mines of the Santa Fe com
pany. 1t was caused by an explosion.
At that hour the employees at the en-
trance to the mine heard terrific roar,
followed by the ground trembling. A
dense volume of smoke poured from the
entrance making it impossible to enter
until it had partially cleared.
There were forty men in the mine
wher the explosion t-,ok place. Al }
d. m. none of them had been rescued
and it is feared that many, if not all,
have perished. There is no way of as
cendng through the entrance to the
mine at present. The first body recov-
cred was that of a driver, who was near
the mouth when the explosion took
place Judging from his fate there is
little hope for any in the mine. over
half of the men employed in the mine
have families and they surrounded the
mine with woeful faces.
