Fire In q Southern Coal Mine.

Birmingham, Ala, June 15.-The Hen
ry Ellen coal mines. fifteen miles east

Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad COM
pany. are on fire. About noon yester-
day the fire was found and the flames
had gained considerably Roadway.
Superintendent Ormsby was immediate
ly notified and the first thing he did was
to set about getting miners at work in
various parts of the mines to the out
side. At l o'clock every miner was ac-
counted for. The seam of coal is among
the finest in the district and should the
fire gain much Roadway great damage
will result. Representatives of he COM

senate for its action very soon, even
within wreck. it is said in some well-in-
formed quarters. II this be the case Il
may be taken for granted that the pres
fdent has taken steps to assure himself
OF a favorable reception for the treaty
in the senate and to guard against such
a mishap as befell the arbitration treaty
last session.
The present condition in Hawaii. it Is
said, has had much to do with favorable
consideration of the treaty Enumeration.
The present government of Hawaii and
the people who support it are very much
concerned about the japanese situation.
Private information received by Ha-
waiians in this city is to the effect that
the Japanese at any time may take ac-
ton looking to acquisition of the island.
The advices officially received are OF
much the same tenor. The sentiment in
the senate seems to be that Japan in no
way should control the islands or get
foothold there. This argument has been
used to prevent even notice Of abroga-
ton Of the present treaty in the tariff
bill. 1t is said that such notice might be
followed by japanese occupation, and
the islands could not be regained by the
United States without a struggle.
In this connection it is learned that
the conversations among the most prom
inent japanese residents Of Hawaii which
have been reported to the representa-
tives of the island in Washington have
been of a threatening character, and
that the American residents have more
concern than has been shown in the
published accounts. Several SEN
ators have received definite
Information concerning the existence of
the treaty and are acquainted with its
terms. though they refuse to discuss the
matter, having received the information
in confidence. The knowledge of the ex-
istence of the treaty has been commune
Gated to the members Of the committee
on foreign relations ard also to members
Of the finance committee.
The senate has been canvassed to a
certain extent by senators favoring an
nexation and while there are some sena-
tors who are non-committal, the sup
porters Of the proposition say they be-
lieve that they can count upon the two
thirds vote necessary to insure ratifica-
ton. The especial friends of the presi-
dent about the senate say that the treaty
has been made in accordance with his
views. and that it would have been sent
In some time ago but for his exactions
as to details.

Pension business Increasing.

Washington, June 15.-The war vet
Grams are rushing forward their applica-
tons for pensions under the new admin
istration, and the increase in the volume
of such business has been SO extraordi-
nary as to necessiate the detail Of thirty
additional clerks to the record division

urday the number of applications of all
kinds for pensions aggregated 1890.
