An ex- plosion occurred and she was enveloped in flames. All the clothing was burned from her body and the flesh fell from her bones. She cannot live.
 THE 800 striking coal miners at Gal litzin, Pa., in obedience to an order posted by their committee, have all re- turned to work. The men struck for an increase of 90 per cent, but went back without accomplishing anything.
 Ir was reported at Nashville, Tenn, that mob of 15 men, led by Mcclure Williams, a notorious character, went to Celina, on the Upper Cumberland river, and in their efforts to take in the town . fight resulted, in which four men were Williams, the leader of the mob, the sheriff and one of his deputies, and Ed Parrott, who a few weeks ago killed brother of Will Hams.

THE campaign in Cuba is being closely observed by the administration. In the event that the insurgents attack the capital of the island in force, it is possible that the North Atlantic squadron may be ordered to Havana to be in position to guard American in- terests during the disturbed conditions that may be expected to accompany a siege. It is not probable that excep- tion could be taken to the presence of our vessels in such case by Spain, as it is customary for powers having large interests and many citizens in city so beset to have some force present for their protection.

 Question of Mixed Schools.
 PERRY, Ok, Jan. 1S.-Conservative people of this place fear trouble be- tween the white and black races. Ac- cording to the decision of the court schools were opened for admission of all races and color. The fight has been going on for three months. The school board voted few days ago to suspend schools, but the colored people sued out writ of mandamus compelling the board to open them again. This was supported by people who preferred mixed schools to none, so the board was compelled to recon sider its action and to-day the public schools of the city will contain both whites and blacks. Several white men declare they will keep their children from school, nor will they send them where colored children attend. Col ored people are firm and trouble is ex- ,,acta1

SEVEN LIVES LOST.
An Fnglish Ship Wrecked on vnncoovers Island-Terribie Suffering of the Crew

An Fpgllsh Ship Wrecked on vancouver's
 I.land-Terribie Suffering of the Crew.
 SEATTLE, WaAh., Jan. l3.-Ten days ,f suffering from cold and privation on g rocky bluff, during which time seven of the crew, including the cap. tain and mate, met their death, and the other mate and seamen met with terrible accidents, tells the tale of the wrecking of the big four-masted Eng fish ship Jeantee Cowan on Vancouver island, otherwise known as the Bone yard of the Pacific ocean. This fright full news was brought to this city this afternoon by the tug Tyee, which had hut few hours before landed IA mem- bers of the ill-fated crew at Port Townsend. The officers of the tug tell most narrowing story of the wreck and of the condition of the crew and of it's surroundings as found by them.
 The vessel struck New Years day. Capt. Thompson died several days after the ship struck the reef, and the cook and an able seaman and the man who ran the donkey engine died the fol- lowing day, the latter becoming vio' lently insane. The other three men who lost their lives were the second mate and two apprentice boys. Nine
 members of the crew were left on the shore in cabin about mile north oi the place where the ship went on the reef.
 The tug Tyee first sighted the wrecked ship on Saturday afternoon. She was plainly outlined on the shore of Vancouver island and could not be mistaken. No sign of the crew could be seen on the shore. The sea was running pretty high at the time the tug hove to, but two boats were low cred and q start made for the ship which was standing up majestically her lower topsail set and straight or to the westward. The stern was high in the air and the rudder broken square in two.
 A portion of the crew could be seer on top of high bluff, on which a tent had been pitched. A sight met tho gaze of the rescuers that will never bt forgotten for years to come. Seated about q fire were l3 men all wearing an expression of utter hopelessnes' and misery. First Mate Charles Le gall, who was lashed to a boatswain'' chair, suffering from fractured leg told Mate Hall, of the Tyee, the story of the disaster. He said the Cowar came from Cape Town, South Africa for Royal Roads, B. C., and was l0' days out when she reached Cape Flat tery on December 10. There was a ter rible storm off the cape and the vesse stood off the cape two days before trying to come in. Then she wa driven quickly to the northward by { strong southwest wind and sought shelter in the treacherous waters O
 Barclay sound to avoid being driver ashore on some exposed point. The sound afforded but little shelter, ant she was driven on the rocks at higt tide. This was two o'clock on tho morning of December 3l, and snow storm was coming on. The ship pseemet to be breaking in two and it wns de cided to leave her at once, and witf the aid of line made fast ashore thu entire crew was taken off.

HENEY CAvLINa, a Copenhagen jour nalist visiting this country, said to a Boston reporter recently: Journal ism in Denmark is decidedly different from the American. For instance, we have on our paper about 40 editorial no need for more reporters. We have no need for more reporters, because nothing ever happens. Why, we do not have a murder once in ten years So, of course, the papers there are more devoted to literary articles than to news"

COOLING DOWN.
The Stress of Feeling Between England
 and Germany Growing Less.

and Germany Growing Less.
 LONDON, Jan. 13.-Interest in the Transvaal question in its immediate bearings has revived to an apprecia ble extent, while the incidental strainipg of relations between Great Britain and Germany, which so completely placed the Boers in the background of the picture for time, has in its turn receded, but by no means disappeared. There is little apprehension of war with Germany, over the present com. plications at least, and the British public has reassuring sense that if there is to be war, England is ready for it. The prompt and efficient meas ures of the naval authorities and the formidable show of strength that is the result. give John Bull feeling of confidence. There are no further ex- plicit announcements of movements looking to an alliance of the powers against England to-day. Neverthe. less, it is keenly perceived by the pub lie that the sentiment displayed by the German government has a far wider bearing than the present dispute in the Transvaal, and therc are visions of future complications on questions of conflicting interests.
 A dispatch received from sources sympathetic with the Transvaal gov. ernment in Johannesburg last night asserts the plot for Dr. Jameson's raid and the coincident uprising of the Uitlanders was the most shameful in history. The blackest part of the plot, the dispatch asserts, was the intention of the agents of the Chartered South Afr; ;ca Co. to set loose the savages to invade the Transvaal from all points and to kill every white man. It had been engaged that all over South Af. rica provisional stations should be erected on the lines of the route. and the points had been fixed. The obiec, was to destroy Pretoria and to present England fiat accompli before any in, reference could reach them. Sketches of Pretoria and of the Rand made by military men have, it is said, been seized. This story, however, is de, nounccd in London as gross exagger. ation.
