history of hard coal mining has tie
up been so complete, not one of the 357

alton. There is every indication for the
belief that the suspension which was

this week will be made permanent by
the miners general convention which
will meet at Hazleton tomorrow.
Absolute quiet prevails everywhere.
In pursuance of the request of the dis

QUEEN REGENT OF SPAIN.
crees to which her hand and seal will
ever be affixed as regent of Spain.
When the queen regent withdrew her
pen from the parchment comforting the
order of the Golden Fleece upon the
Duke of Cumberland, her majesty's
eyes We're moist. Her regency really
terminated at this time, although until
the king takes the oath in the presence
of the combined chambers May II his
mother remains officially the queen re-
gent
1t was a pathetic scene when the
ministers were ushered into the queen
regents cabinet. She received them
with the young king at her side. Pre-
mier Sagasta in an eloquent address of
leave taking delivered in behalf of him
self and his colleagues recalled the day
when the queen regent, fresh from the
grief Of her widowhood, honored him
with her confidence, although she
scarcely knew him. He compared that
day to this, when the yeung king. with
his devoted mother at his side, was
about to enter upon and exercise his
constitutional prerogative. II was
prime minister then, and I am prime
minister now,' said Senor Sagasta.
During the almost seventeen interven-
ing years." continued the speaker, "the
noble queen regent has been slave to
duty. She has sacrificed her youth to
the jealous guardianship of her chill
drcn. She has suffered much but her
majesty finds compensation today in
the happiness of the king
Turning to the king, Senor Sagasta
compared the difficulties which con-
fronted him today with the situation at
the death of the late king, his father.
"The present difficulties" said the pre-
mier. ''are not insurmountable. Spain
has not progressed as much as might
be desired, still she has made substan-
tial progress. Peace and tranquility
have been secured, the era of military
pronunciamentos is past, and the at
tentiOp OF the people is centered in ed
ucation and labor ~.
Premier Sagasta said also that he
hoped the new reign would be preg-
nant with greater achievements and
greater blessings to the nation than the
preceding reign had been.
The queen regent listened to Senior
Sagasta with increasing emotion.
Finally, with tears running down her
cheeks, she responded and thanked the
premier for his words.

The first car Of naphtha exploded

be heard for miles that the work of de-
struction really began.
A torrent of flame belched forth on

Suit Over Addick's Uas Deal.

Trial was begun in the United
States Circuit Court in philadelphia
yesterday of the suit of Samuel L.
Kent, ol Clifton Heights, against
J. Edward Addicks, Of Delaware, to
recover 100000 damages growing
out Of alleged Misrepresentation In
making contract for the purch ase
Of the right to manufacture acetylene
gas in Brookline, Massachusetts,.
Mr. Kent alleged that Mr.. Addicks,
as president Of the Bay State Gas
Company. represented himself as
authorized to make u contract.
A con tract, 1t IS claimed. was &C.
cordingly entered into whereby Kent
was to receive $500. 900 in cash, to
be paid iu installments Of 800. 900
eacn, aud 81. 500, 900 in Bay State
Gas Company stock to be held in es-
crow Tor six months and afterwards
delivered 10 his agents. 1t is charged
that MI Addcks tliled to live up t.
the contract and that on suit being
brough! against the Bay State Gas
Company, u judgement non.suit was
entered OH the ground that Mr.. Ad.
dicks had acted without the authori-
ty Of his company.
After several witnesses had been
examined John e. Johnson, repres.
enting Mr.. Addicks, asked fora nom
suit. contending that Kent had con-
tracted to sell rights he never pos
SesSed. The contracts between Mr.
Kent and the Electro Gas Company. j
and the United States AcetyIene
Liqu,ticatiua Company were carefully
g otfe<oEer by MIR. Johns,n, who ar.
sucd TO the Court that The terms Of
these instruments did NIT give to Mr.
Keno tie exclusive right to vend and
acetylone gas, but only
license to form company for that
end. The contract between Kent
and Addicks, continued Mr.. Johnson,
called for the sale of exclusive rights,
aud as the plaintiff did rot have
these, the CONTRACT was worth Moth
ing. The Court then adjourned
until this morning, when Silas W.
Petlt will reply on behalf Of Mr..
Kent.
