Appointments in the Various Depart
ments—Proceedings of the Senate.
THE SENATE.
The decisions of Judges Taft and
Kicks in Ohio and Speer in Georgia in
relation to the right and duties of rail
road employes came up in the senate
Monday in connection with a resolution
instructing the committee on interstate
commerce to inquire into that and other
subjects, and quite a long and interest
ing debate resulted, which had not clos
ed when the senate adjourned. The
remarks of Senator Gorman and Voor-
hees as to the effect of those decisions
being to convert railroad employes into
serfs and galley slaves, were criticised
by Mr. Piatt as intemperate and merely
tending to excite the passions of
laboring men. A resolution for a
committee to wait on the presi
dent and inform him that the senate
is ready to adjourn sine die, was offered
and agreed to without queston; but sub
sequently a motion fo reconsider was
made by, Mr. Hoar aod entered to be
called upon hereafter. Mr. Hoar’s rea
son for moving to reconsider was under
stood to be his determination, if possible,
to force the senate to take action in the
way of investigating Senator Roach, of
North Dakota. Resolutions to investi
gate Mr; Roach’s case and that of Mr.
Power, of Montana, were offered by
Senators Hoar and Chandler and went
over .without action. In pursuance of
the same purpose, Mr. Hoar successfully
resisted a motion to proceed to executive
business.
The democratic succeeded in forcing
an executive session Tuesday morning
face of the combined republican opposi
tion. As soon as Monday’s journal was read
a motion to proceed to executive business
was made by Mr. Gorman and antago
nized by Mr. Hoar. The vote was taken
by yeas and nays,and the motion was car
ried—39 to 101, a strict party vote.Peffer
voting with the democrats.
In the senate, Wednesday, the resolu
lion offered by Mr. Call on the 20th of
March, declaring that the committee on
finance, naval affairs, military affairs,
judiciary, foreign relations, appropria
tions, commerce and inters'ato com
merce, shall each consist of fifteen mem
bers, was taken up and Mr. Call made
an argument in support of it. At the
close of Mr. Call’s speech the resolution
went over, without action. The resolu
tion reported by Air. Nance, from the
committee on privileges and elections,
was referred to the committee on con
tingent expenses (under the rule) Tor the
investigation of the claim of Joseph W.
Ady to the scat as senator from the state
of Kansas. The senate then, on motion
of Air. Faulkner, proceeded to the con
sideration of executive business.
In the senate, Thursday, a memorial
signed by seventy-seven members of the
Kansas legislature against the right.of
Afr. Afartin to hold his seat as a senator
frojh that state, and asserting that Ady
-■was legally and fairly elected, was pre
sented by Air. Sherman and referred to
the committee on privileges and elec
tions. The resolution reported Wednes
day from that committee for the investi
gation of the question came up again and
at the suggestion of Air. Harris, was laid
over till Friday. A motion to pro
ceed to the consideration of exe
cutive business was made by Air.
Vest and carried by a strict party vote
of-38,to 19. In consequence of a remark
made by Mr. Hoar, three or four demo
cratic senators who had voted, although
paired, withdrew their votes, while
claiming that they had reserved the
right to vote in order to make a quorum.
The senate then, at 12.30 p. in., pro
ceeded to the consideration of executive
business. The doors were reopened at 1
o’clock. Air. Chandler expressed a de
sire to address the senato on the Roach
resolution, but postponed his speech till
Friday at the suggestion of Air. Gorman,
and tbo senate adjourned.

Both the senators and the president are
anxious for this. The majority of tlie

American corn. Mr. Alattes is a mem
ber of the Nebraska legislature aud a
personal friend of Secretary Morton.
The democratic senators held a caucus
Wednesday morning and decided, that
there ehould bq.no investigation of the
Roach case at this session. The resolu
tion will, therefore, remain un’icted upon
ween the senate adjourns.. The caucus
decided to investigate the “claims made
by Ady to the. seat.,held by Martin. I'
was annrunced 'to' the caucus that tin
president would comp'ete the business hi
has for the senate by the end of the week,
and it is believed that the senate will

A COAL MINE HORROR.
Hundreds of Men Entombed and Great
Loss of Life;
A Londomcabkegriign-of Tuesday says:
A spark from an engine ignited a gas
coal-pit near Pont-y-Pridd, Wa'es, and
caused the gas to explode., .A large num
ber of miners were at work at'thff tljrie,
and the explosion caused terrible tf&yoc.
Three hundred miners are entortibed. in
the mine. The engine house is in flames
and there is the greatest fear that hun
dreds may have perished, The rescuers
who went down were' driven back with
out being, able to bring more than five of
the dead and the fate of the other miners
is in doubt. The most agonizing)«ceaes
are witnessed aud throngs of men, women
and children—relatives of those below—
are crowded about the mouth of the coal
pit.
WORK OF RESCUE.
At the entrance of the shaft,. a. rescu
ing paity was formed by thfe pit survey
or. The party got os far as the (anding
at the seam where the'fire started but
were driven hack almost' immediately try
the dense smoke issuing from the seam.
'I he surveyor took hisfflen - buck' to the
surface. After a half hour’s rest they
went down again and forced their way
ten yards into the workings. They found
four dead which they brought back with
them. Attempt to go further into the
workings were vain, as the woodworks
were burning and 1 rge ntasses < f. ruins
were falling incessantly from the roof.
One of the reselling party who ventured
too far was killed.
LATEST NEWS OF THE DISASTER.
The latest news from Port-y-Pridd is
to the iffect that the fire in the mine has
been quenched. The fumes of gas, how
ever, are still so n xious as to drive out
those who undertake tn explora-the mine
in search of the dead i.and^forilhe rescue:
of those who might be iiv.q^g.,- Many of
the < xplortrs are suffering severely from
the effects of the smoke and deadly gases
which.,they encountered. Further search
will be necessary to ascertain the. full ex
tent of the calamity,
FIFTY-THREE CORPSES.
At 11 o’clock Wednesday evening, the
pit had become so cool that three explor
ing parties were able to descend and go
some distance iuto the seam. They found
three dead men, but discovered no trace
of the main bo ly of miners, who were
cut off from escape by the flames.
Up to 2 o’clock Thursday rimming,
fifty-three corpsts had been taken from
the pit. Searching parties had found no
sign that any of the missing miners were
still alive. The be dies of eleven meh
were huddled behind a door, as if they
sought shelter there from a hurricane of
fiery sparks sweeping by. Other bodies
were tound in the return a rways where
the victims were caught while probably
trying to escape. A doctor has exam

An English State Secret.
I hope that the revelation I am about
to make may he considered as’ strictly
confidential. It must not be told across
the Atlantic. It is one of those secrets
which one learns with shame and repeats
in a whisper. It refers, in fact, to the
venerable house of birds. It has to do
with a thing which greatiy adds to what
the peerage calls the enjoyment of a
title. It is a secret of the vestiarium, or
robing room. It is no'hing less than
the long and carefully concealed truth
about the coronet. You know that it is
a crimson velvet cap, very soft and pretty
and comfortable, round which is the
gold co#onet set with pearls. Now, a
coronet is just a broad circular band, as
.v.rybody knows.
The iron crown of Lombardy is such a
band of gold set with great rubies
roughly cut, and without any palliative
of-velvet. With the bare crown stuck
firmly on his head there he was—a king,
just as with his wig adjusted on his head
there is the other man—a lord chief jus
tice. Very well, then. The peer’s cor
onet is not of gold at all. Iam assured,
by one who knows, that it is of copper
jit, and that the pearls iu it are not
i)carls,but silver thiogs as big as pigeons’
eggs. One more illusion is gone. We
-hall learn next that the velvet is cotton
v. 1 vet or sateen or soft merino, .or even
ted flannel. Only coppir guilt! Is it
nossibie?—Walter Besant in London

Whittier’s Spirituality.
Splritua'ism, as it is called in our day,
was a subj -cl which earnestly aod stead-
ly he’d Whittier’s atteation. There are
many passages in his letters on this ques-
ion which state his own mental posi-
i-m very clearly:
“I have had as good a chance to see a
ghost,” he once said, “as anybody ever
! ad, but not the slightest sign ever came
to me. I do not doubt what others tell
me, but I sometimes wonder over my
own incapacity. I should like to see
•erne dear ghost walk in and sit down
by me when I’ am here alone. -The do
ngs of the old witch days have never
been explained, and as we are so soon to
be transferred to another itate, how nat
ural it appears that some of us should have
glimps4S-of it here.”
■As the end of his life-drew near, it was
i asy.to see that the village home where
his mother and sister lived and died was
the place he chiefly loved, but he was
mire inaccessible to his friends in Ames-
bury, and the interruptions of a fast-
gnwing factory town were sometimes
less agreeable to him than the country
life at Oak Knoll. Once only
he expresses this preference for the
ilear old village home in one of his
letters:
‘ I have.been at Amesbnry for a fort
night, .. Somenow,.I seem nearer to my
mother and sister; the very walls of the
room seem to have Income sensitive to
the photographs of unseen presences.”—

Serious Danger
Threatens every man, woman or child living
in a region of country where fevf r and ague is
prevalent, since the germs of malarial disease
are inhaled from the air and are swallowed
from the water of such a region. Medicinal
safeguard is absolutely necessary to nullify
this danger. As n means of fortifying and
a climating the system so as to be able to re
sist the malarial poison, Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters is incomparably the best and the most
popular.
Nearly 100,000 persons are in our jails and
penitentiaries.
Many persons are broken down from over
work or household car. s. Brown’s Iron Bit
ters rebuilds the system, aids digestion, re
moves excess of bile, and cures malaria. A
splendid tonic for women and children.
Thirty-two states and territories have given

STORM IN THE NORTHWEST.
Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and Missouri
in its Path.
A Chicago special of Wednesday says:
Tuesday night’s storm wrought such
havoc with the telegraph wires that it is
almost impossible to obtain particulars of
the damage done in the west, where the
des’ruction seems to have been general
and widespread io the states of Iowa, Il
linois, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri.
Probably the grea'est damage was done
in Iowa," although the reports from Ne
braska indicate that when full particu
lars are received that state will lead in
the loss of property and human life.
Along the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul railroad, in Iowa and Ne
braska, the storm cut a wide Ewath.
The town ~of Akron, in the former
state, is wrecked, and Westfield, a few
milts distant, badly demoralized. Meagre
reports from localities in the interior
show that the devastation is widespread,
a though its full extent wilt not be
kuown for several days, owing to the
lack of telegraphic facilities and the
washing out of the country roads, ren-
dtring communication difficult and in
many cases impossible. Continuing along
the railroad in Nebraska,the storm swept
tip farm buildings, fences and bridges
and finally swooped down on the town
of Page, which it wrecked.
LATEST NEWS.
A spccialof Wednesday afternoon from
Kansas City, Mo., says: As communict-
ion gradually becomes opened up with
the small towns and hamlets through
Kansas and Missouii which were cyclone
swept Tuesday, and the neirs always
makiDg additions to th'- list of lives and
property is received, the real extent of
the storm becomes known. It is impos
sible to get the names of the victims,
however, and in most instances the ac
counts of destruction wrought are in
complete. Even in some places where
communication has been restored,
Dews is not available. The strioken
citizens are engaged with the important
duty of caring for the injured, the care
of the dead, and putting together what
was once their happy homes. Fifteen
people are known to have been killed;
thirty or forty were injured, while num
berless houses, a: well as smaller proper
ty, were destroyed. Much stock was
also.killed.
A MISSISSIPPI TOWN IN BCINS.
A Vicksburg, Miss., special says;
Conductor Thomas, of the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railroad, wired the
following Wednesday night: “The en
tire town of KobiDSonville, Coahoma
county, was swept away by a cyclone
about 4:30 o’clock this evening. All the
stores are in flames. Several negroes
and perhaps some white men are buried
in the ruins. The depot was completely
destroy, d and the night operator’s wife
killed. A colored child was nlso killed.
Only two houses are left standing.”
STORM IN TENNESSEE.
Jackson,.Tenn., was struck by a cy
clone about five o’clock Wednesday after
noon and a dozen buildings were wreck
ed. There was no loss of life, though a
number of persons were slightly injured.
Everything in tbe path of the
storm.was leveled. The damage in the
tutal districts cannot be learned.
BASHALITIES IN MISSOURI.
A Bpecial of 'lhursday from St. Louis,
Mo., says: Though two nights and a
day have passed since the cyclone tore
its way through Missouri, from south
west to northwest, the repor's of dam
age and loss of life Bre still coming in.
The towns which suffered most are com
paratively small and nearly all located in
the northwestern part of the state on a
strip lying to the southeast of Kansas
City. A summary of the casualities
shows the following result, the list of
dead and injured corrected to the best
possible extent:
At Higginsville, Mo., eight persons
were killed outright and three mere will
probably die and twenty-five wounded.
At Hawkins Bank eight people were
killtdand thirty one seriously injured;
at Lexington five were killed and three
fatally iojfired; at Stanbury, four killed
and one fatally hurt; at Steelville, seveD
killed. In addition there is a long list
of tcose who were more or le3s hurt, and
whose injuries will not prove fatal. As
if this horrible roll was not enough, the
storm left little to the survivors to be
gin life again with. Houses, barns,
stock and everything wss swept before
the storm’s fury. A. Hawkins Bank the
scene was most horrible. When the re
lief reached there not a soul in the place
had had a morsel to eat for twenty-four
hours, as provisions, cook stove 0 , etc.,
were all blown away. Farmers from the
surrounding country came nobly to their
assistance, and many are now beiDg
cared for in the immediate vicinity of the
bank.
- RUINS AT VPSILANTI.
According to dispatches of Thursday,
Ypsilanti, Mich., is in a lamentable
condition and business is suspended
owing to the bavee caused by Wednes
day night’s rainstorm. Almost all the
principal block—stores, the opera house,
postoffice, hotel and several dwellings—
were either demolished or badly dam
aged. Houses were lifted from their
foundations, buildings were unreofed and
walls tumbled into the Street, a mass of
ruins. So far as known, not a life will
be lost as a result of the storm. Rough’y
^estimated, the total loss is between
$100,000 and $150,000.
A Memphis, Tenn., special of Thurs
day says: It is hardly possible to exag
gerate the havoc made by the cyclone fire
at Robinsonville Wednesday. There are
parts of two houses and a water tank
’aiflrfctanding', and everything else was
"razed,' to the ground, and most of it
"burned. The number of killed, so far as
can he ascertained by a census of the
bodies found, is seventeen, one white
and sixteen colored, and about ten in
jured—two so seriously that they are ex
pected to die. The wounded who have
not been sent to Memphis, Tunica or
Lake Cormorant, are quartered in the
two houses still standing. The property
loss will reach $100,000.
PERU APOLOGIZES
For the Outrage Perpetrated on One of
Our Consular Agencies.
A Washington special of Monday says:
The Peruvian government has taken the
initiatory steps toward complying with
the demands of the United States that
reparation be made for the outrage com
mitted on one of its consular agencies in
Peru. It was not until Monday morniDg
that the name of the place attacked,
which was omitted in the first dispatch
from Minister Hicks notifying Secretary
Gresham of the affair, was made known
to the state department. The informa
tion was contained in a cablegram from
Minister Hicks, stating that the consular
agency is at Mollendo, Peru, and that in
answer to the demand for satisfaction
made by the administration the govern
ment of Peru immediately removed the
sub-prefect of the department in which
Mollendo ia situated, and promised to
provide suitable reparation; and, fur
thermore, that the government has ex
pressed its regrets for the occurrence.
This information is entirely satisfac
tory to the United States government.
The name of the consular agent at
Mollendo, which is omitted from tbe dis
patches received from Minister Hicks, is
William R. Griffith. He was appointed
from Pennsylvania, March 30, 1889.
Nc news has been received by Secretary
Gresham concerning the reported out
rage against a United. States consulate in
Bolivia.

The One With Blno Eyes;
A little Harlem boy who has an old
maid Aunt who is very fond of cats has
been in the a2t of officiating as exscu-
tioner whenever the kittens multiplied
around at his auntie’s to a degree that
even that venerable feminine cat fancier
could not support. As a natural result
he became very expert at putting kittens
in a bag, together with a big paving
stone, and consigning the whole iot to
the tender mercies of the Harlem river.
As it happened only the other day, the
little Harlem boy’s mother presented her
husband with a couple of daughters in
the shape of a splendid pair of twins.
As a great favor Johny was allowed to
go into the room to tee his newly arrived
sisters. He gazed upon them with a lan
guid interest for a few moments, and
then looking up at his father said sud
denly, “Say, pop, let’s keep the one
with the blue eyes.”
It was kept.—New York Herald.
A Lenient Pawnshop-.
The Monta di Pieta at Rome, which
has existed ever since 1585, is probably
the most lenient pawnbroker’s shop in
the world. Any person who brings a
pledge may borrow from $15 to $25
without paying any interest, but all that
is lent above that sum is paid for at the
rate of two per cent per annum. At the
end of two years, if the pledge is not re
deemed nor interest on the money paid,
it is sold and the overplus of the debt is
laid by for the owner, who has it in his
power to demand it within 100 years.—
Yankee Blade.
A Cat Exterminator.
An ingenious Brooklynite has come
out with an invention which bids fair to
relegate the bootjack to the attic with
tbe distaff and spinning wheel. He has
run a wire along his back fence. To this
is attached a strong electric battery. A
button at the inventor’s bedside sends
forked lightning through the wire, and
the current is turned on when the cats
begin their midnight parleying. One
wild feline screech and all is over.—Chi
cago Inter-Ocean.
Random Shots.
Many people are busy in the world
gathering together a handful of thorns
to sit upon.
The brave man is an inspiration to the
weak, and compels them, as it were, to
follow him.
Never wait for a thing to turn up. Go
and turn it up yourself. It takes less
time, and is surer to be done.
Forbearance and self-control smooth
the road of life and open many ways
which wouid otherwise remain closed.
It is well to be sanguine and full of
anticipation; we are the better off
for our hopes, even if they are never
realized.
What is experience? A poor tittle
hut constructed from the ruins of the
palace; of gold and marble called our
illusions.
An Unnecessary Announcement.
One of the melancholy but unnecessary
announcements in connection with an
obituary notice is the statement that the
deceased “left” half a million, less or
more. If some day the deceased takes
with him half a mill, the announcement
will be well worth printing. But how
melancholy for the heirs should depart
ing friends find a way of taking their
savings along!—Boston Commonwealth.

The Argument Used
B Y the makers of the second-class baking
powders to induce the dealer to push
i them off on Royal consumers is that
they cost less than Royal and afford
the dealer much more profit.
But you, madam, are charged the same price
for them as for the absolutely pure Royal, which
is perfectly combined from the most highly refined
and expensive materials. The lower cost of the
others is caused by the cheap, impure materials
used in them, and the haphazard way in which
they are thrown together.
Do you wish to pay the price of the Royal
for an inferior baking powder, made from im
pure goods, of 27 per cent, less strength? If
you buy the other powders, insist upon having
a corresponding reduction in price.

It is now a “Nostrum,” though at first it vraa

after compounding that prescription over a

it in a small way. A medicine known all

Why is it not just as good as though costing
