B.—The 79th anniver * 0 ( tte battle of New Orleans, which trough* to a close the "war of 1812,” was ce ebrated by the Business Men's Demo cratic Association to-night by a banquet at ie H ainan house. The event com n-eroorated particularly the memory of bja ,rho won the battle, Old Hickory, and aa3 participated in by about 1V) distinguished democrats.

The tov.sts were as follows: “The day we celebrate,” responded to by ei-Preside’nt Cleveland. "The twin cities, New York and Brook lyn,” by ex-Postmaster Heudrix of lirooklyn.

"The state of New York,” by Jacob A. Cantor. A TIME FOR REJOICING. Controller Myers, in declaring the time (or listening to the poarls of democratic wit, wisdom and eloquence at hand, said; “To ngbt a great victory is to be celebrated, f r not only has that able aud honorable business man, Roswell P. Flower, whose t anias shines brightly on the roll of this organization’s vice presidents, continued the proud line of democratic governors, but the ‘business and biilion congress’ is a mem ory only, and, thanks to an awakening of popular opinion, a democratic House of Representatives and a democratic legis lature stand to-day like a bulwark to defend the leopie’s rights, to voice the people's de mands aid to insure wise and economical administration of the people’s business. CLEVELAND’S SPEECH. Ex-President Cleveland spoke as follows: Me. President and Gentlemen— No one can question the propriety of the celebration of l!!is day by the organization whose invitation has called us log ther. Its right to celebrate on this c cea ion results from the fact that it is nn organization attached to the dootrines of true democracy, Laving a membership com pised ot business men, who, 1 1 a disinterested way, devote themselves to honest party work, and who lab r for the growth and spread of tbs political principles which they profess. This anniversary has not gained its place as a festival day in the calendar ot democracy by chance, nor through unmeaning caprice; nor is ’o served by the Democratic party merely be cause a battle was fought on Jan 8, many years ago, at New Orleans. That battle in it stit liftd no immediate political significance, anil considered solely as a military aohiave n" -t m comparison with maoy other battles !

Wo have t*.iu adop:e<l an issue great enougli to deserve the undivided j enortß o* our party, involving considerations which we profess to believe lie at the founda* , lion of the justice and fairness of popular rule, j If we are to act upon our declared belief in ( the power of that .Jacksonian spirit which was the inspiration of our party in the days of our j M*eat leader, we shall be steadfast to the Issue We , T e r * ified t is settlea ami rightly settled. The steadfastuebs we need will not permit a premature and distracting search for other and perplexing questions, nor will it allow us to be tempted or driven by the enemy iuto new and tangled paths, Me have given pledges to the people and they have trusted us. Unless we have outgrowa the democratic spirit of Jackson's time, our duty is plain. Our promise was n t merely to labor in the people’s cause until we should tire of the effort or should discover a way which seemed to promise easier and quicker i arty ascendancv. The service we undertook was not to advise those waiting for better days that their cause was hopeless, nor under any pretext to suggest a cessation of effort. Our engagement was to labor incessantly, bravely and stubbornly, see ing nothing and considering nothing but ulti mate success. These pledges and promises should be faithfully and honestly kept. Party faithlessness is party dishonor. Nor is the sacredness of our pledges and the party dishonor that would follow tneir viola lation, all we have to consider. We cannot trifle with our obligations to the peoule without ex posure and disaster. We ourselves have aroused a spirit of jealous inquiry and discrimination touching political conduct which cannot be blinded; and the people will visit with quick revenge the party which betrays them. 1 hope, then, I may venture to claim in this assemblage that, even if there had been but slight encouragement for the cause we have esjioused, there would still be no justification for timidity and faintheartedness, ltut with the success we have already achieved, amount ing to a political revolution, it seems to me that it would be the bight of folly, considered purely as a question of party management, to relax in the least our determination and per sistency. If we suspect anywhere in our coun sels, eompromissing hesitation or a disposition to divert the unity of party efforts, P t us bo watchful. The least retreat bodes disaster; cowardice is often called conservatism, and an army scattered into sections invites defeat. We have preached the doctrine that honesty and sincerity should be exacted from politicial parties. Let us not fail under the condemna tion which waits on shifty schemes and insin cere professions. 1 believe our countrymen are prepared to act on principle, and are in no mood for pohtic.il maneuvering. They will not waste time in studying couundruuis, guessing riddles, or try ing to interpret doubtful phrases. They de mand a plain and simple statement of political purpose. Above all things, political finesse should not lead us to forget that at the end of our plans, we must meet face to face at the polls, the voters of the land, with ballots in their hands, demanding as a condition of their support of our party fidelity and undivided devotion to the cause in which we have enlisted them. if, inspired by tbo true Jacksonian spirit, we hold to the doctrine that party honesty is party duty, and party courage is party expediency, we shall win a sure and lasting success through the deserved support of a discriminating, intel ligant, and thoughtful people. FREE COINAGE CAN’T PASS, Speaking on ‘ ‘The issues of the day,” Mr. Springer said; “lean state without any fear of successful contradiction that there is not the slightest probability of a free coin age bill becoming a law during this congress, nor is it likely that any amendment to the existing law will bo made. If any measure on this subject is passed it will be one which democrats, north, south, east aud west can and will cordially support. It is probable that some such measure, acceptable to democrats generally, may bo agreed upon and become a law dur ing this session of congress, in reference to public expenditures the democratic House of Representatives of this congress may be relied upon for a record of rigid economy. This will not be another $1,000,- 000,000 congress. A reduction of between $50,00,0000 and $100,000,000 a year by the present House of Representatives may be confidently expected as compared with the appropriations of the previous oon gress. One of the issues which should enter largely into the campaign next fall will be a demand for repeal or reduction of many of the existing permanent appropriations. THE TARIFF. "This congress will do nothing in the matter of revising the tariff. A bill for general revision of the tariff would have no chance whatever of success in the Senate, and would only amount to a declaration of principles, and to the making of a platform for the national convention in the ensuing presidential campaign. I prefer to leave the question of the platform to the national convention. It does not follow, however, that nothing can be done on the subject of tariff legislation. Many of he provisions of the McKinley bill are so out rageous aud oppressive as to demand immediate repeat or modification. Separ ate bills for this purpose should be reported to the House of Representatives, and pass through that body at the earliest moment possible. OBJECT OF THE BILLS. “These bills should have fi r their object the enlargement of the free list and the se curing of cheaper raw material. Aniens ure of most importance is one placing wool on the free list and repealing what are known as compensatory duties upon woolen goods. By the introduction and passage through the House or a series of bills attacking the most objectionable parts of the McKinley bill we may reasonably expect that some of thoso measures at least will re ceive the favor of the Senate and President, but in the event they should fail the effort made to secure their passage will call the attention of the country to tho necessity of such measures, and will furnish an issue before the people in the ensu ing presidential campaign easy of comprehension, direct in its attack and most effective for good resultt. Of one thing the country may be assured. 1 hat no step backward in tho cause of genutue tariff reform will be taken by the democratic members of tho present House of Representatives. The op position to the objectionable features of the KcKinley bill and the demand for tariff re form will be kept steadily in view and the issue will bo preserved as paramount to and overshadowing all others m the presidential campaign of 1893." PHILADELPHIANS FEAST. Tha Young Men’s Democratic Club Celebrate Jackson Day. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan.

The following letter from ex-President Cleveland was read: Lakewood, N. J.. Jan 3, 1592. Samuel Gustine Thompson , Esq., President, Etc.: Mr Dear Sir—l have made an engagement to celebrate Jacks.m'e day at home with a New York democratic organization, and therefore am unable to accept your invitation to attend the dinner of the Young Men's Democratic Association at Philadelphia, in cele bration of the same anniversary. I hope the democracy of the country will generally observe this day. and that the observance will serve to stimulate real democratic sentiment, which recognizes the responsibility of our party to the people and the duty we owe to those who have reposed confidence in our professions. Wo will thus be constrained to steady and persist ent advocacy of the principles which are con oededly democratic and will be prepared to re - sist temptation to win party supremacy by support of theories challenged as to their dem ocratic character and certainly dangerous and distracting to the harmony of our party Tem porary shifts and reckless expedients do not accord with the nature aud policy of true democracy. Its best hope and reliance have always been and must be in constant adberenco to its acknowledged principles, and in plain aud persistent presentation of those priuciplos to the Intelligence aud thoughtfulness of the American people. Yours very truly, Grovkr Cleveland. INMAN TO BE RE-ELECTED.j - He Agrees to Accept, at Gen. Thomas’ Request. New York, Jau. 8. —The following cor respondence, which occurred to-day, ex plains itself, and is of public interest as be ing the latest developments in the Terminal situation. It shows that there is no proba bility of John H. Inman having a successor as president of either the Richmond aud Danvilla or the Terminal company as long as he cares to continue as the official head of thoe corporations. John H. Inman, Eio., President Richmond and Danville Railroad Company: Dear Sir—ln behalf of the ommittee ap pointed for the purpose of nominating a presi dent and board of directors for the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company, to be voted for at the annual meeting to be held oil Tues day next, I beg to ray it is the desire of myself and associates that you accept for the ensuing year a re-election to the position of president of said company. Trusting that you will find it consistent with your extensive business arrangements to com ply with this request, I am. yours truly, Samcel Thomas, Chairman. MR. INMAN’S REPLY. Gen, Samuel Thomas, Chairman, Etc.: Dear General—Your kind favor of even date is at hand, in which you inform me that it is the desire of the committee appointed for the pur pose of nominating a president and board of directors for the Richmond and Danville Rail road Company, that I should accept a re election as president for the en suing year. I feel that I should frankly state that I do not desire to continue the burden of responsibility wnich I have car ried during the past two years as the executive head of the corporation. Inasmuch, however, as the various companies connected with our system are undergoing a reorganization, the object of which is to place the properties upon a more substantial financial basis, and as I am in full accord with the efforts of the security holders and their committee to secure this result, X regard it my duty to comply with your request, provided it can lie so arranged that lean be relieved of official duty at an early date, certainly not later than the day on which the members of the commit tee shall put into operation the plan tiiat may be agreed upon by them. With this under standing you are at liberty to use my name for any position that will, in your judgment, serve the best interests of the properties. Relieve me, very respectfully jrours, John H. Inkan. At the annual meeting Of the Richmond nnd Danville next Tuesday ail the old di rectors except three will be re-elected. The only changes will be W. E. Strong, of Work, Strong & Go., to succeed John H. Hail, deceased; T. M. liogan in place of John C. Calhoun and James Swan instead of Mr. Barbour of Richmond, Va. The Olcott committee is said to be mak ing rapid aud satisfactory progress with its work, and will probably announce its plan fqr the permanent adjustment of Terminal affairs next week. In anticipation of that announcement, aud on the general belief that the Terminal is already practically de livered out of all its financial difficulties, the securities of the company continue to boom, all of them having attained a higher range of values to-day than for many months past. M. J. V. HILL LEARNING THE ROPS3. Senator Gorman Giving Him the Points—The Back Salary. Washington, Jan. B.—Senator David B. Hill realizes that he has much to learn about senators and senatorial methods, aud he spent a good deal of his time at the cap itol to-day with Senator Arthur P. Gor man, who, he realizes, can and will tell him more about them than any other. Senator Gorman is, ot course, very willing to be of service to Senator Hill. They have long been friends aud are now political allies, but thoy have not as yet gotten to the point of premising each other the presidency, as the gossips insist. Senator Hill has not done anything about his back salary yet. He may have to take it if ho u paying full rates for his apartment, which is tho handsomest iu the hotel. He has hung some expensive paintings on the walls and is preparing to entertain, having already learned B, much of Washington ways. He will make his debut in Washing ton society at a dinner given in his honor shortly by Senator Dolph of Orogon, who was his schoolmate thirty-five years or more ago. A TREASURER MISSING.

French Papers Improve the Occasion to Revive Their Agitation Against British Occupation—Lord Salisbury's Diplomacy Wine Speedy Recognition for the New Ruler—Abbas Was at Vienna. Paris, Jan. B.—The death of the IChe dive of Egypt has afforded occasion for French newspapers to again take up and discuss at great length the long standing Egyptian question. They all agree iu toe belief that England will take advantage of the situation to prolong her occupation of the country, and all express a fear that the new khedive will prove only a puppet In the bands of the British. The Journal des Debats, in its article on the subject, demands the appointment of a regency to govern Egypt. LOOK UPON IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY. The Figaro and the Autorite consider that the death of Mohammed Tewflk has given France occasion to agaiu insist upon a definite settlement of tbo Egyptian ques tion. The Gaulois says that the porte will con cede much to England in return for partial restoration of Turkish authority in Egypt. Lord Salisbury, tho (tanlois adds, will probably try to enlist the sultan on the side of the driebund in return for some conces sion in Egypt. THE KHEDIVE’S SUCCESSOR. It is lieliovod in Fronoh circles in Cairo that the porte wilDonlv consent to the suc cession of Abbas, hereditary pritu e of Egypt, upon the understanding that Riaz I’asha, who was in May la-t deposed from the presidency of the council and the minis terial position he then held, again assume the position of president of the council, aud that extended authority be given to Mouk hatar I’asha, commissioner of the port at Cairo. ENGLAND’S CABINET AROUSED. (Copyright, 1892, by the If. Y. Associated Press.) London, Jan. B.—The cabinet council to day was intended to be the last until the eve of the opening of parliament. Lord Salisbury had informed his colleagues that he had arranged for a short holiday on the continent after speaking at Exeter ou Deo. 19. The death of the khedive, however, has upset their plans, and the ministers, instead of putting the final touches to their pro gramme for the coming session, are now considering the now situation in Egypt. As soon as the council met to-day, for some reason connected with the military position In Egypt, a message was sent to tho war office for Sir Redvers Duller, who re mained for a long time in consultation with the council. Sir Rod vers,Buller was at the head of the intelligence department in tho Egyptian war in 1883 and iu the Soudan expeditions of 1881 and Isßs, nnd was the readiest source of copious information ac cessible. DECISION OF THE CABINET. According to information gleaned in the best quarters, the cabinet ha* decided to treat the accession of Abbas i’asha as au event not altering in any wise the British policy. As Abbas I’asha will not attain his majority until July 14, tho ministers fore see aud probably have already been warned that France and Russia will incite the sulfpn and will supnort his claim as suzerain to establish a regonoy. Even six months of a regent nominated by the sultan might destroy British power in Egypt and cer tainly would lessen British prestige. The character of Abbas Pasha, which is not formed, might acquire under a regent u bias hostile to British interests. ABBAS HAS BRITISH LEANINGS. Abbas is credited with imbibing English idem aud sympathies from his tutor, A. I. Butler, who was long In the khedive’s serv ice and who is now a lecturer iu tha Brnze nose College, Oxford. Abbas speaks English freely, as well as French, German and Arabic. He is outspoken on tbe Egyptian question. During his sojourn in Vienna he freely expressed his conviction that British occupation was necessary. He has kept up his studies iu Englisii during his residence iu Vienna and has been a oonstant visitor to the English embassy s . A CALL OF CONDOLENCE. Mr. Phipps, an attache of the embassy, Minister Paget being ill, waited upon Abbas to-day at the Oriental academy in Vienna to convey tbe minister’s con dolence, and a telegram regarding the interview between Abbas and Mr. Phipps afterward reached the foreign offloe la London. It is understood that this tele gram was of a promising nature regarding the new khedive’s inclination not to trouble the British regime in Egypt. Abbas, with bis brother,started from Vienna to-day for Trieste, whence the khedivial yacht will taka them to Egypt. Couut ICalnoky, the Austro-Hungarian minister, who is a strong aud steadfast sup porter of British rule in Egypt, had a pro longed interview with Abbas and Mr. Phipps at the railway station aud cordially bade Abbas farewell. ABBAS’ TRIP TO EGYPT. Two Austrain officers of high rank ac company tho new ruler to Alexandria, where a detachment of the British squudron has been ordered to receive him. The action of tho British government points to its determination to keep a grip on tho nominal ruler of Egypt, Tho prompt re c ignition of Abbas as khedive by most of tbe European powers has been duo to tbe instant and unhesitating diplomacy of Lord Salisbury. Simultaneous communications from Cairo and London elicited telegrams from the Turkish grand vizier to Fehmi Pasha, president of the Egyptian council, intimating that the Sul tan as suzerian, named Abbas as khedive, end desired that the present ministry con tinue in office until Abbas arrived in the country. CARNOT’S TELEGRAM. President Carnot of Franco sent Abbas a telegram congratulating him upon h>s accession, but making no reference to a regency. Thus far English diplomacy appears to have risen effectively to the oocasiou. Lord Salisbury’s anxiety to secure a hold on the new khedive is due to knowledge that his predecessor was a strong personal factor in European politics, and not tho figurehead he was gouerally supposed to be, un i that the power of the new ruler, if he chooses to create trouble, is immeasurable. THE NEW RULER. Cairo, Jan. 8. —Abba* Pasha, eldest son and successor of the khedive, was in Vienna when the intelligence of tho death of his father reached him. He immediately tele graphed to the president of the council, an nouncing his intention of starting immedi ately for Cairo to assume thu duties which devolved upon him through his father’s death. The funeral of the khedive took place this afternoon. The route of the proceesiun front tho Helouan palace, whero he died, to Abdin palace, where the ceremonies were held, was lined by 20U.000 persons. The service* throughout were of a simple character, but though they were devoid of all ostentation, they were imposing. GERMAN OPINION. Berlin, Jan. 8. —German newspapers to day, in commenting udou tbe rosults that may be expeoteii to follow the death of the khsdive, express apprehensions that the death of the ruler of Egypt will give rie to a renewal of the Freaoh agitation to secure the withdrawal of British troops from Egypt. They are hopeful, however, that should this agitation be again started it will prove unsuccessful. ANARCHISTS AfiRESTHD. The Police of Walthall Claim to Have Unearthed a Conspiracy. London, Jan. 'B. —The police claim to have effected an important arrest of au anarchist residing In WolthalL A man recently passing the police station in Tot tenham court was arrested. Ho carried a parcel containing a bottle (abided chloro form. I'apers were found onhimgivii g details of anarchist plots, and giving the names of persons implicated in tbe conspira cies. The papers showed that the head quartars of the anarchists were at Walthall. The result was the arrest of a Fro chman named Victcr Cailes, Marie Pebelue, with whom he was living, and Frederick Charles. a search of their rooms. The arrests were followed by a searoh of the clut) room and residences of the prison ers and the discovery of bombs and molds for making them. Tbe police also dis covered whero the bombs were made. In the club room was found - an abundant supply of unarchist pam phlets. teaching tho manufacture of explosives, besides a quantity of material for bombs. The police have been watohing the place for three months, but until tbe fortu nate arrest in London yesterday of the sus picious character no evidence was secured that gave them a legal warrant for to-day’s arrests at Walsall aud searoh of club rooms. A CENTER OF AGITATION. The Walsall club, to which the prisoners belonged, has been tho center of anarchist propaganda for several years throughout the midland counties. Of the many lecturers who explained anarehistio doctrines to the club, Prince Krnpotklr.o, the well-known Russian agitator, was tho favorite. A firm of iron founders have informed the authorities that in November they were offered extensive orders for making hollow castings similar to tbe bomb which was produced by the chief constable in the court to-day. HISTORY OF THE PRISONERS. ( Copyright, 1992, by the .V. V. Associated Press.) London, Jan. B. —Tbe discovery of the neat of active anarchists at Walsall is a gen uine affair, loading to important issues. Cailes, who had fled from France to escape arrest, was sentenced at Nantes in Mav last to eighteen months imprisonment for inciting murder, pillage and incendiarism. The man calling himself Charles, whose real name is Slaughter, is self-educated, speaks several languages, and is a rabid socialist. Realtin, who has long been a propagator of socialism in the mid lands, is the virtual leader of the party. Their action oentcrod in Walsall.

A HUNDRED MINERS KILLED BY THE EXPLOSION AT KREBS. Between 330 a: and 400 Men In the Mine at the Time—Many of the In jured Expected to Die—Tbe Dav Shift Just Coming Out When thss Explosion Ocourred. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. B.—A special ta the Journal from McAllister, I. TANARUS., says: “A report taa reached here from shaft No. sof the Otago Coal and Mining Company at Krebs that a terrible explosion occurred there at 5 o’clock last evening, from the effects of which scores of lives will probably be lost. It was just be fore the shift changed off and came out of the mine for supper, when a puff of smoka was seen to escape from the mouth of tha single shaft to the mine and immediately following this there was heard a terrible re port, followed by a rumbling as if of rolling thunder. The men at the foj* of the shaft at once sounded au alarm, and made preparations to send down a rescuing party, but found that tbe mouth of the shaft had been com pletely "insed up by debris. When the mes senger left nothing had been done toward getting the men out, except to organize <% relief party, which was to begin work at once on the debris. There were betweeik 300 and 400 men entombed in tbe mine." THE DEATH LIST. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 8, 8 p. m.— A special to the Times from H ,uth MoAUister, I. TANARUS., says: "Twenty-four hours have elapsed since the terribly fatal explosion in tho Osage mine at Krebs, but it is stilt itnpi ssiblo to even estimate the number of victims. The number who came up olive after the explosion is still ui.determined and can be determined only by a house to house canvass, which is now being made as rapidly os possible. Front the facts now at hand it is bolieved that the killed will number fully 100 and tha injured 115, about one-half of whom will probably die from the effects of their Injuries. 400 MEN IN THE MINE. "At tVe hour of the oxplosion, 5 o’duolg yesterday afternoon, there were, as near as can bo leurned, about 4 0 men in the mine. They were the day shift, end were just pre paring to ascend when tho explosiou tools place, Six men who had already b"eit hoisted in tho cage had just stepped into the platform on the side of the shaft. The cage was blown through the roof of the tower and fifty feet into the air. A tongue of (lame shot up the shaft and above the ground fully 100 feot, which was followed by a terrible report* which was heard for miles around, ami shook all the neighboring country so violently that the people iu the surrounding mining towns four and five miles distant thought an earthquake was rocking ground. The men already above the ground were prostrated by the force of tho explo sion, but did not receive severe injuries. UKARTRENDINO SCENES. "The scenes about tho mouth of the shafd immediately following were fearful in the extreme. Weeping wives, motiiers and sis ters Hocked to the scene from tho village at the sound of the oxplosion, their faces blanched with dread and many of them hysterical to the point of Insanity. The air shaft, the only way of osoapo for the on tombeil miners, was the pointr whero the rela'ives of the miners con gregated. Many of the miners were able to make their way out of the tomb, and they were welcomed at tbe surface by their waiting frien Is. One man with a broken leg climbed all the distance of 10< foot through the air shaft and fell uncon scious as he reached the surface. < (there who were terribly burned labored painfully up tho ladder, strips of flash falling from their hands and arms as they grasped the ladder rungs. It ta believed that fully one-half of the entombed miners escapod by the air shaft. Many of them, however, received mortal injuries, and although none of them are known t<* have died, it is believed that In some casea death is not far distant.” PHYSICIANS FROM OTHER TOWNS. Tho news of the disaster spread quickly through tho villages surrounding Krebs. Every physician at once volunteered hi* serviaes aud hastened to Krebs to do hla duty of mercy. Hundreds of’miners from the Braldwood and MoAUister fields hur ried to the scene to do what thoy could ia assisting in tbe rescue of the entombed men nnd the recovery of the bodies of the dead. Tha work of rescue was begun at onoe and ha* continued through the dreary hours of last night and to-day. The work was terribly hazardous. The explosion had entirely changed the topography of the mine. Many tunnels were closed entirely and big loose bowlders were balanced perilously on the shelves and rack adjoining the air shaft) and main shaft, which a breath of air might) hurl down upon the rescuers. Notwith standing these dangers tbe rescuer* kept bravely at their work and at 5 o’clock this evening bad recovered about forty bodies. The rescuer* worked at both the air aud main shafts and bodies were resoued by both routes. Those identified were imuudiately claimed aud were carried away by relatives or friends, so that uu accurate count of tbe number has not been made. Those identified num ber twenty-three. AT THE MORGUES. At the various places used as morgues there were about seventeen unidentified bodies. The search by tbe rescuing parties still continues. There is one disheartening fact connected with the search up to tha present time, and that is that not) one live miner has l een found. All the bodies so far recovered hava been found to be burned, charred and maimed. Iu fully half the casog identifica tion has been possible only from clothes or tbo contents of pcokets. In some cases limbs have been severed from their bodies by tho force of the explosion, and in others bodies have been burned to a crip and charred almost beyond resemblance to human form. Thera are two enoouraging facts which urge tho rescuers on to work. No fire followed the explosion, at least there have been no signs of any, and there are known to be live men entombed in tbe tunnel behind the fallen bowlders. The rescuers can hear faint) knocking* aud far off shoutings. They are digging in the direction whence the sounds come, and hope yet to res ue some of them alive. The wreck about tbe mouth of tha mine and at the bottom of the hoisting shaft is so nearly complete that work is dreadfully slow. The cause of the explosion is still undetermined, and may never be known. BRAZIL’S MONARCHISTS. Tbe Recent Disturbances In tbe Re public Laid to Their Door. London, Jan. 8. —Advices from Brazil show that the opposition to the federal government, which has been manifested in several of the states, is due to tbe work of monarchists, who are steadily gaining io influence.
