ton parade Gen. Porter has appointed
A. n. Brakeman of New York chief of

started it will not be allowed to stop
until the disbanding point is reached.
Both military and civic organizations
Will be required to march in columns of
tWcnty-fOur front instead Of sixteen as
heretofore and in close order, the pur-
pose being to have 10000 marchers pass

The question of position in the parade
will be determined by the order in which

cadets from the naval academy at An
napQllS and the West Point Military
academy are expected. From Informal
ton received Gen. Porter does not ex-
pect as large a representation of the
National guard of PENNSYLVANIA S usual.
Circular letters to governors of states
are III course of preparation asking in
formation as to their personal escort and
the number of state troops who expect
to take part in the parade and similar in
formation will be requested from mayors
of cities as to civic organizations.
All organizations will be required to
notify the chief marshal of their desire
to participate in the parade prior to
certain date to be hereafter named in
order that there may be no confusion as
to positions. a storm circular also will
be prepared ready for distribution in case
Of heavy storm on March f, which
would necessitate some changes in the
programme.

with the secretary of the interior in re-
gard to the use of the pension office

of the building was freely rendered and
accepted. Gen. Nelson A. Miles of the

BIG MINES BURNING.
Another Great Disaster Overtakes
the Unlucky Nova Scotia
Galleries,

Halifax, n. S., Dec. 26.-Anothcr
great disaster has overtaken the Spring
hill coal mines. Just five years ago
the mines were wrecked by great
explosion and 100 lives lost. 1t took
the best part of a year to get the col
liery in working order again. 1t was
splendidly equipped, gave employment to
1000 men in the pits and had an output
of 310, 600 tons q year. From the mea
ger dispatches received, it appears that
I fire has complete possession of the I'M
foreground working of two or three
slopes.
About o'clock Thursday evening the
coal mines at Spring Hill were discov-
cred to be on fire. The fire originated
in the pipeway of the east slope in the
500 foot level. It soon ate its way into
the 1900 foot level and developed into
raging furnace. When Government In
spector Gilpin arrived fire was issuing
from every opening of the mine. Two
cupolas were burned down and the bank
head had to l~o torn away.
The miners worked hard to save their
source of livelihood. but all their eff
forts i'll that direction were fruitlcss.
L hey tried to prevent the air going into
the mine by stopping up every air way.
Mr.. Gilpln had to call the men from
this work, as it was attended with
great risk to their lives should an
cAplOSlOu OCCUR WHICH IulSHI NC cApSctcu
at any minute. The flames shot 100 feet
into the air, the reflection being visible
at Amherst. The extent of the fire is
not known but the most disastrous conse-
QuenceS are feared.
The loss of the east slope is believed
to be complete. The machinery will be
ruined. At D. IN. Friday the west
slope was reached all right but the men
will have hard work to save it.
The fire caught from an Overhcated
steam pipe connected with the driving
machinery. The men worked up to the
time the fire caught and got out safely.
The mine has three slopes, north, east
and west.
1t is likely that the most serious dam
age by fire will be confined to the east
slope, in which it started. The fire
seems to be burning itself out. The loss
will be enormous and the fire will cause
great restitution among the miners, as
even If the fire does not sDread through
the entire mine it is considered doubtful
if work can be resumed under any cir
cumstances during the winter.

Which shall be stronger and more binding

Meetings of representatives of coal
companies have been held recently in

bituminous interests are contemplating
the formation of new pool, stronger
and more binding than the present or

definitely fixed, but the meeting will take

Ex-Minister Phelps Talks Strongly
Against Interference in Cuba.
Burlington, Vt. Dec 26.-E. !.
Phelps, ex-minister to England. gives his
opinion upon the recognition of Cuba III
the following language:
have no doubt that the position of Secre-
tary Olney as recently published. is entirely
correct The question what the government
shall be recognized in a country where an
attempt at revolution is in progress is GER
tainly for the executive 10 determine and
not for Congress. No legislation by that
body can under any provision of the con
stitution decide it. They can. OF course,
pass resolutions upon the subject if they
please. but they in no respect con control the
discretion or the action Of the President.
Besides no government can be recognized
until it exists.
The government recognized by otEer gov
ernments when q dispute in respect to 1t
recognition by other nations of a govern
ment once in existence must always con-
tinue until it is actually subverted and
new one put in its place. When 1t IS over
thrown and another established that gov
eminent is entitled to recognition.
The rebels in Cuba, have no organized gov
eminent nor even an abiding place which
they can call their own. They are merely
Il guerrilla force which would speedily be
annihilated if drawn into 4 general eli
gagement with the much superior Spanish
army. 1t proves its existence by its deX-
terity in averting such an engagement. 1t
would be absurd 10 say that such force
CONSTITUTES Il government OF lldt the Spun
ish government in Cuba has been over
thrown, or that any diplomatic relations
could exist between these rebels and the
government Of the United States.
If this country interferes by arms in that
contest it must be by assisting the rebellion
in Cuba to displace the Spanish government
and to set up another this would be dec
laratiOn of war against Spain, country
with which we are and always have been at
peace and from which we have received no
injury and no prcvocation. 1t would be
gross and utterly unjustifable violation of
international law. which no country can af-
ford to perpetrate in the eyes of the world.
1t would, in my Judgment be fatal to that
restoration of business prosperity which is
now our most vital necessity.

DEATH OF COL. HATCH.
Interesting Personality of the Ex-Con-
gresham.

Hannibal, Mo-, Dee. Pick Congress
man w. III. Hatch died at O'Clock last
night of a complication of troubles re-
sulting from Bright's disease. He was
stricken early in the week and since
Monday his case has been considered
hopeless.
During his long career in Congress Col.
Hatch was almost constantly in the pub
lie eye. He had an interesting personal
ity. He conceived that his mission as a
statesman was to do all in his power for
the amelioration of the condition of the
agricultural classes, and it was out of
this regard for the farmer that arose his
celebrated anti-option bill, which created
universal comment and agitation, and in
many quarters of the country extreme
opposition.
Col. Hatch was also noted for his work
in Congress in favor of legislation for
pure food, especially with reference to
butter, a matter that was of direct i'm
portance to the farming classes. He
lived country life most of his time and
took a keen interest in agricultural pro-
duction and the status of the farmer.

Takes His Life.

committed suicide today by shooting him

was committed while Maetzcke was in

he has been an inmate in an insane asy-
lum. Three years ago he invented Il
street car fender. He told another man
of his design in order to have his project
adopted commercially. He claims that
this man had the design patented in his
own name and robbed him of all credit
and profit. Maetzcke brooded over this
until his mind gave WaT
