mand of both Japanese and Chinese

Washington, March S.-That there
is still a sharp difference OF opinion be-
tween the supposed friends of the Dol
liver-Hepburn railway rate bill was
made decidedly manifest yesterday.
The division is over the question
whether a rate made by he inter

suspended by the courts pending final
adjudication, and was brought to the
surface in a brief debate which fol
lowed a set speech by Mr.. Ciapp in
support of the bill. In reply to a
question by Mr.. Tillman, Mr.. Clapp eX-
pressed doubt as to the power so 10

any given findings by the courts. MIR.

sue with this statement. During the
day there were TWO speeches on the
rate bill, the one by Mr.. Clapp in sup

opposition.

relating to Arizona and New Mexico
stricken out. The motion to strike
out was made by Mr.. Burrows and it
was carried by the close vote of 81 to
S5, after having been lost in committee
Of the whole by the still closer vote of
35 to So.

Thursday.

Washington, March O. The house
yesterday passed the Indian appropria.
ton bill, carrying S~7,7S5.52S. 1t then
proceeded to tangle itself up over the
bill to abolish the grade of lieutenant
general in the army. The result was
an adjournment for lack Of a quorum
after members had beer locked in the
hall for half an hour and the assistant
sergeant-at-arms had been scurrying TO
the various hotels in search OF mem
bers. The vote TO consider the bill
showed an overwhelming sentiment in
its favor, and as it is the pending
business under call of committees, it
will probably be reached and passed
in due course.
Yesterday afforded the last oppor-
tunity for general debate in the enate
on the statehood bill and the entire
time of the session was devoted to
that order of business. The whole
time was occupied by three senator's,
Mr.. Beveridge, supporting the bill, and
Messrs. McCumber and Patterson OPP
posing it.

Paris. March ia mining ~catastro.
phe of incalculable horror and magni-
tude, resulting in the death of LOO
miners, has stricken the great coal
center of Northern France. An explo-
sion of fire damp at 7 o'clock Saturday
morning carried death and destruc-
ton throughout the network of coal
mines centered at Courrieres, and fire
followed the explosion, making rescue
difficult and almost impossible.
The catastrophe took place shortly
after 1,795 men had descended. There
was a deafening explosion, which vas
followed by the cages and mining APP
paratus being hurled from the mouth
of the Courrieres mine. Men and
horses nearby outside the mine were
''5her stunned or killed. The roof of
. mine Office was torn off.
Immediately following the explosion
flames burst from the mouth of the
pit, driving back those who sought to
enter and booming those within.
The whole of the region stands
appalled, at the terrible tragedy, which
has brought sorrow to 5000 fathers,
mothers, wives and children.
The last great mine disaster in
France occurred in 1885, when 293 per-
sons were killed and so injured; but
that and all others sink into insig-
nificance before Courrieres.
