iue the shsh's abdication today. The ma
tional assembly is not in session, but the
people are again in possession of the bar
ricades which surround the body's meet
ing place and defy the troops to roule

When the assembly reconvenes to-
morrow there is a strong probability
that formal demand will be made on
the ruler to guarantee Observance oil the
constitution or quit the throne. :.
The reactionary party, outnumoereo,
is yet threatening an attack on the foe;
The troops have barely prevented several
clashes, and the constitulionalists fear
the military may at any time join In On

The Jacobs Creek Mine Horror.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 20. six
O. clock this morning rescuers had brought
eight bodies out of the mine at jacobs
Greek and discovered thirty others ~
ing about in nearby entries to the pit
mouth. The mine is of a very gaseous
nature and 1t Is very difficult for rescuers
to penetrate far into the leads and en-
tries.
There appears to have been but one
explosion and after this fire set In, which
ia believed to have caused the death Of
some $50 men. Relief parties are being
organized In different parts and will
endeavor to enter the Inflated mine from
three different sections to search FOL
bodies.
Considerable slate and piles Of debris
we're discovered near the entries abou
300 yards In the mine, and this Is be-
lieved to have prevented some men who
we're found dead near that place from
| escaping.

THE SCENE yesterday In the House VI
Representatives between Representatives
J3hn sharp Williams and David A. De-
Almond Is regretted by the many thous-
aods they represent in Congress. Doubt
l.ss the principals themselves by this
tine equally regret the hasty words
which eliminated in a personal conn'c'
in the Capitol of the nation. From 'ne
unfinished accounts OF the colloquy which
ended in blows, it would seem that the
Mi,sourian was at fault, as the words ne
used toward Mr.. Williams were hssty and
uoparlismentary, and calculated to bring
about breach Of the peace at any place
and under any conditions. The good
book calls attention to lhe fact that the
tongue, though a little member, Is ex-
cee1iugly hard to tame. Mr.. DeArmond
and Mr.. Williams probably realize this
trnlh AZ well az others, and it is hopeful
b,th will profit by their experience.
