SANFORD, y. c., Dec. 19.-(Special)
At nine O'Clock this morning, short
ly after day, force numbering sixty
seven men had gone on duty at the
Cumnock coal mines, six miles west of
here, terrible gas or fire damp eXplo-
sion occurred with fatal effect
Upon hearing the report the people
of the village and relatives of the en-
tombed miners hastened to the scene,
but for some time they were unable
to gain any tidings from below. After
pumping fresh air into the shafts for
some time several miners were prevail
ed upon to venture down and inFesti-
gate. They found and brought out
twenty-five men from stokes number
and 3.
Five or six of them were badly
wounded and some of them will prob
ably die, others were slightly wound
ed. 4 mule and two men were killed
in stoke number 2.
After considerable delay the search
ing party entered slope number !,
where they were greeted by a most
horrible and ghastly sight. Dead men
fearfully mutilated were found. Some
Of them were partly covered up with
pieces of coal, timber and other debris.
The searching party came up and re-
ported what they had found. At four
o'clock ten or twelve miners went
down to bring up the dead bodies, but
at last accounts none of the dead men
had been rescued.
1t is believed that forty-three men
were killed. Their names are not OBJ
tainable at this writing. Several of
them were negroes and foreigners and
the rest natives of North Carolina.
Several had families living at Cum
mock. Eight of the dead miners were
from Pennsylvania and expected TO re-
turn TO that State tomorrow to visit
relatives.
A quantity Of dynamite was IN the
mine and exploded, wrecl1ing coal cars
and splitting massive pieces Of timber
into kindling wood
Mothers, wives and sisters were
around the mines all day, weeping and
wringing their hands with grief, eT-
pecting every minute TO see the life
less form OF some loved one brought
up. Excitement runs high.

CANADA TAKEsUP CH0RUs
SAYS 1t is AN Attempt TO Fas'en a
Qurrel on Great Britain

ST. JOHNS, n. T., Dec. 19.-The 'Dai-
~ Telegraph says: "No one who reads
the Venezuelan correspondence can
come to any other conclusion than that
deliberate attempt is being made by
the Government of the United States
to fasten a quarrel upon Great Britain.
The dispatch Of Mr.. Olney is in tone
and manner rs insulting as If it had
been written by the late James G.
Blaine, and we may add, as illogical
ard unreasonable"
The Montreal Herald says Of the
Presidents message; In the discus
sion of the application of the Monroe
doctrine to the Venezuelan question.
Lord Salisbury has achieved signal
victory over Cleveland and his cabinet.
The matter will probably be amicably
adjusted on the basis originally laid
down by Great Britain Mr.. Cleveland
has not often yielded to the demands
of American politics. 1t is regrettable
that he should have done so on the
present occasion"
The Toronto Mail concludes a long
article on the Presidents message as
follows: THE commission is a
very good device from Mr..
Cleveland's point view, which
is evidently that of the poll
tician who is out of votes. 1t would
probably be long before the commits
sion could report, but in the meantime
Mr. Cleveland's firm vindication of the
doctrine would he winning votes for
his third term election. We may be
sure. however, that whoever wins or
loses in that election. not a foot of
British territory will be transferred to
foreign flag by any ruling Of their
hIuctpr and Monroe doctrine"

GENERAL ROLLINS.
Destination of the Gold Hunter was not Disclosed and There ia Much
 Speculation Regarding

SAN DIEGO, June 6-The report ia yesterdays Herald of the disappearance of General H. c Rollins, and the su /, pos itlon that he had been murdered either ! by his Indian associates or outlaws in Lower California, has caused consider able comment here, and while all the indications point to his probable dis ] appearance the belief is strongly preval- ent among those who know him best ir this city that he is still on the prospec;- ing tour which he arranged for takiI 2 when last hee.
 At the time he decided to leave Alamo, with the ey:d iEteutlon fl thoroughly prospecting some rich l,ca- tons with h. had heard of on the Iower peninsula, he cama 10 san Diego fer his outfit, and at the Hamilton company, where he purchased hls supplIes, be stated to Dav.d Hamilton that it wa his intention 10 be gene for some consid
 erable time. Since then he has beer in the city twice, and e~ch time stoprtd at the CoD mercisl hotel.
 In ali his conversation with parties ucIS dOOut ms IulouOSC lIlp ne WAS not known to specify the direction which h. expec ed to take, nor were his ecausipt ances at Alamo or Ensenada taken into his confidence, 1t seeming to be his de- sire to keep thIs part of his business as secret as possible, so that no thought of any harm coming to him had entered the minds of his friends here at his prolong- ed absence, 1t being generally supposed that he would turn up again some day with the account of where he had been and the results of his trip.
 Aside from the fact that be has not been heard from for few months. there IS nothing 10 positively indicate that he IS not safe, and from the best informa- tlon to be obtained here It is believed that the reports of bis death, eitherfrom natural causes of murderous attack. will yet prove uufourded.
 Old mining men who have had years of experience as prospectors on the pen- iGsulG when spoken to about the proba- blhty of General Rollins never beirc found scout the idea, as it is 10 uncom- mon i1g for miners and prospectors. especially Americans, to take long trips through the practically inaccessible regions of Lower California, where for weeks and months there is no possibility of communication with tie outside world and those who have gone through this experlence say that two or three months IS not considered long time to be away from civilization.

TERRITORIAL TAXES. of the Hoard of Equalization.

SossAon o1 tHe ISOafH oI 6QuaklZatIou'
 The territorial board of equalization met yesterday in regular session, sll members present. The main matter be- fore the board was the assessment of tEe several railroads of the territory, state ments being received from nearly all.
 The following fgurss were agreed upon by the board as just ard equitable for the taxation of the railroads named; Southern Pacific, per mile, s65OO; Atlan- tlc & Pacific. 5000; Arizona 6 South eastern, $500; Msricopa & Phoenix, S4i69; Mineral Belt $500.
 The assessment of the Southern Paci- tic is little changed from that of last year, and the figure for the Atlantic and Pacific IS that advised by the boards of supervisors of the counties through which runs the line. The Mari copa ard Phoenix assessment lsst year was S5l ,0OO per mile, but was lowered owing t. the decreased efficiency of the road on earnings, owing to the active competition of tax-sxempted opponent The Ariz)ns and Southea tern is the line of the Copper Queen Mining com pany from Benson to Bisbee. Only that portion from Fairbank to Biebee is as- sessed the balance being exempt under the law of two ears ago. Tbe Mineral Belt is nos uply the logging road of the ArIzona LCm6er company, and was assessed as having no value as com mon carrier.
 The balance of the roads of the terri tory will probably bs considered today Toe session If the board will last but a few dave, adjournment being then taken till August. when the complaints of aIy dissatisfied persons will be heard eccor- ding to the term of the statute.- GaZette
