EULALIA MINE DISASTER.
Robbing the Supports of the Roof
Causes Sixty-Seven Deaths.

Ell PASO CTex), April 26.-The latest
news of the catastrophe at the Santa
Eulalia mines, near Chihuahua, Mex.
Thursday night, is to the effect that
eighty-five men were working in the
mines, all of whom were MexicanS.
Recently contracts were let to a num-
Der of Mexican miners and laborers to
take ore from the old workings at so
much per ton. In their eagerness to Sc
cure large quantities of ore with the
least labor, these contractors began
tearing down the ore pillars which sup
ported the roof of the mine. They also
cut away masses of ore that had been
left between the chambers. Thus
weakened, the ground began to give
way at O'Clock in the morning, and al
most instantly sixty-seven of the men
at work under ground were cut eff from
escape.
Governor Ahumada is on the ground
with a large force of men, working to
recover the buried miners. Thirty
seven men have been recovered-ten
dead, seven dying and twenty fatally
hurt. AT last accounts there were thirty
men still in the ruins, with no hope of
recovering them alive.

GROSVENOR STILL CONFIDENT.
HE CLAIr1S M'KINLEY'S PROS.
PECT is A PLEASANT ONE.
In His Opinion the Present Situation
VerifieS His Prediction r1ade
Some Time Ago.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-GeneraI
Grosvenor gave out tonight his regu-
lar weekly statement of Mckinley
votes. AS usual, he declines to make
any figures upon other peoples
strength, combining his figures to a COM
parison of Mckinley votes and the
number necessary to a choice, 4o6. lie
also declines to discuss the accuracy
OF the tables of votes of anybody and
said tonight:
Il rely with absolute confidence upon
ultimate results to vindicate my fig
ures"
McKinley's strength, as General
Grosvenor puts it, stands to-day at
Ala. He further remarks: Il DO not
place any votes in Connecticut or New
Hampshire in the Mckinley table at
this time, although l see that the New
York Tribune" gives the names of
three Connecticut delegates. l prefer
to leave those States to make known
their standing when the roll of the con-
vention is called, and / may add in
this same connection that there are a
considerable number of delegates not
classed as Mckinley men in other
States than Connecticut and New
ddlnpSn1re, VINO may De reHeu upon TO
protect Mckinley from any combina-
ton looking TO his defeat.
Now, looking forward, the prospect
is very pleasant. There are about 300
delegates to be elected hereafter as
follows: Alabama 4, Georgia 4, Illinois
II. Vermont 8, Arizona &, California
Is, Michigan &c Nevada 6, West Vir-
ginia S, Montana 6, Missouri Is. Del
aware 6, Colorado s, Washington S,
Idaho 6, Wyoming 6, North Carolina
Is. Total 166.
And the balance, making up about
ECO, are scattered by districts over the
entire country
1T will be observed by careful anal
ysis of these votes to come that it is a
modest and conservative statement to
claim that Mckinley will have 125 Of
those votes and probably more Thus
it will be seen that my statement that
the 1st of May would see Mckinley
within reach of a majority was not
only not an eXaggeration, but has been
verified by results and will be con-
clusively demonstrated by actual fig
ures when the delegates are elected"

MANLEY FIGURES ON REED.
HE THINKS M'KINLEY is NOT
GAINING ANY GROUND,
And is of the Opinion That the Former
Has Good Show of Getting
the Nomination.

| WASHINGTON, April 26.--Mr. Man
/ ley or Maine gave out the following
statement this evening: CONGRESSMAN
Aldrich of Illinois left for his State on
Saturday. He will attend the State
Convention at Springfield on Wednes-
day of this week. His statement Of
April Goth, which was made upon ac--
curate and reliable information de-
rived from the delegates themselves,
was based upon the election of GOA
delegates. Of this number Mr.. Reed
was given 12S delegates, Governor Nc
Knley 204, doubtful 666 and all others
1876. 1t gave Mckinley 35i2 per cent. of
the delegates elected. The statement
was made with SO much care and ac-
curacy that it can be relied upon with
the utmost confidence
Il have taken Mr.. Aldrich's statement
as a basis for my statement OF dele
gates elected up to that date, adding
those elected from the 10th to the 10Th
of April inclusive, and have classified
with the following results. 1t will be
seen that there are many delegates
placed in the doubtful column. There
are in many instances contested dele
gates, and it does not seem proper that
prior to the action of the National Com
mittee, which has to act as a Commit
tee on Credentials for the temporary
roll of the convention, and prior to the
action of the Credentials Committee of
the convention, that anyone has a right
to assume what delegates will be seated
in the convention, and therefore | have
not presumed to claim how these dele
gates would vote, but have preferred to
place them where they belong, in the
doubtful column. In no instance have
l anticipated the election of any dele
gates. This statement only relates to
the delegates actually elected.
"Out of 80 delegates thus far chosen
in the block of States north of the Po-
tomac and east of the Ohio--a block of
States containing a great proportion of
the manufacturing and commercial in
terests of the country-Governor Nc
Kinley has secured only nine votes.
Governor McKinley's percentage of the
delegates elected remains precisely as it
did one week ago. The whole number
elected, Ill; for Thomas B. Reed, 161;
for Governor Mckinley, $50; for all
ether candidates, 211; doubtful and
contested, SO.

Recurring to the policy of the Drei-
bund in regard to the succession of the
Papacy, the object being to secure the
selection of a Pope to succeed Leo
XIII. who will be favorable to the in
terests of the Dreibund and less in
clined to democracy, as well as less
friendly to France than the present
Pontiff, it is stated that advices from
high Catholic sources divide the prob
able candidates for the Tiara into two
groups. The first of these, following
the present policy of Leo Kill, includes
Cardinals Svampa, Ferrari and Santi,
and the second with a policy supposed
to be less politically biased and there
fore more favorable to the Dreihund,
is headed by Cardinal Galmberto.
This group includes Cardinals Vim
cenzo, Serafino, Vannutelli and The
brothers Capacelatro. The two ablest
members of the sacred college, Cardi-
nails Parecchi and Rampolla, are not
considered for various reasons as be-
ing eligible. The question of the Papal
succession is certainly stirring the Sc
cret depths of diplomatic life.

chiefs, the breaking up of the tribes and
the allotment of lands in severalty offered
the only permanent solution of the vexed
Indian question. This policy has now been
adopted: The Indian has citizenship and "A

GAMBLING IN TULIPS.
A Strange Popular Craze In Holland Two
Centuries Ago.

A Strange Popular Craze In Holland Two
Centuries Ago.
Toward the middle Of the seventeenth
century one Of the strangest OF popular
follies took possession of the usually posi-
tive and hard headed Dutch. At that pc
Rod Holland had grown from small begin
nings into riches and luxury. With taste
for vivid colors. the merchants of HARLEM
began to center their admiration upon
tulips Gardens were laid out, new varie-
ties sought, emulation became rife and q
mania spread over the people. New forms,
shades or combinations were introduced
into the market, and fortunes were made
and spent on these lowly flowers Bulbs
reached fabulous prices, and the only SINH
lar craze in more recent times seems to
have been the sale of the famous peach
blow vase In New York city at the Nor
gan sale This latter, however, was con-
fined to few connoisseurs, while the tulip
craze swept an entire slow going, practical
Dutch community.
One bulb of choice variety was equiva-
lent to competence for an entire family,
whereas in HARLEM living was cheap In
a contiguous city for one plant was given
2 carts of grain, 4 carts of barley, oxen,

bulb was sold for $4,000 forms or about

other refusal was of IL acres of valuable
land. On the registers of another city to-
day can be seen the record of the sale Of 100
tulips for the benefit of an orphanage,
which brought in the amazing sum of in
our country-s36,0 600. The spread of this
craze is a study in psychology. Finally,
