THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C. ’ FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1889. THE COMMONS EXCITED. A Warm Debate on Capt. Seagrave and Other Irish Matters. The Capt. Seagrave affair, which came up in the house of commons yesterday, grew out of the Mitchellstown massacre, in which Seagrave, asa member of the Irish constabulary, took Part. Seagrave was recently suspended by the government on charges made against him that he had been cashiered from the British army at the Cape of Good Hope in 1885, The Par- nellites only recently learned of this, and they forced the government to make inquiries as to the trath of the charges. The result has been to prove their truth. This is a good point gained by the Parnellites, as it puts the gov- ernment in the position of having appointed a man toa place on the Irish constabulary who had been dismissed in disgrace from the army. After the sensation in the house of commons occasioned by the government's admissions re- = Seagrave had subsided, Mr. Brad- ugh’s motion to reduce Balfour's salary by £500 was rejected by a vote of 272 to 211. Mr. Morley adduced a mass of details respect- ing witnesses for the Times with the view of disproving the government's professions of neutrality. Mr. Balfour, amid continued opposition laughter, described the charge that the govern- ment was connected with the Times, agh Houston and Pigott, as a scandalous and un- founded libel. Continuing, he said that the government volunteered no information for the purposes of the commission, but they were willing to give it to either side when required. Sir William Vernon Harcourt said that Mr. Balfour borg 1 teapot Mr. Morley’s case, The fact that Irish constables bad been sub- peenaed did not make it necessary for them to remain for months in London unless they were performing distinct services for the Times. Mr. Bradlaugh said that so far from being impertial, the government had withheld from the persons accused matters material to their defense. Mr. Healey said he had tried to cross-exam- ine Mr. Soames on his mode of getting up evidence, but the Times’ chief ally, Justice Smith—— ‘The chairman, interrupting, called upon Mr. Healey to withdraw his reference to her maj- esty’s fade. Mr. Healey contended that he did not refer to the judge, but to the commissioner; that the commission act simply called the commission- ers by their names. The chairman neverthe- Jess maintainea that Mr. Healey was out of order. When the division was called Mr. Chamber- lain crossed the house and sat chatting with Mr. Richie, a member of the cabinet. «His presence on the ministerial side of the house called forth from the opposition hilarious cries of “At last in your proper place.” The London Star says that Pigott’s diary “contains macn matter of ill-omen to the pre- varicators of thé treasury branch.” oe Like a Great Earthquake Shock. DYNAMITE WORKS NEAR TOMS RIVER, BLOWN UP AND TWO MEN KILLED. The region about Lakewood, N. J., was shaken as if by a great earthquake shock about lo’clock yesterday. At the same time the air was filled with a mighty roar, like the combined boom of a thousand cannon, and a vast cloud of smoke rose up and spread over the land- scape. The phenomena were caused by an ex- josion at the United States Dynamite com- any. eight miles distant, three miles from oms River. The explosion hs the mixing-room. Thomas Haggarty and Wm. Nicholas, both of Manchester, the only ocen- pants of the room, were instantly killed. Nich- olas was blown to atoms and Haggarty died in less than an hour. He was unconscious most of the time, and was unable to give any expla- nation of how the accident happened. His body was terribly mutilated, and he suffered | great agony during his conscious intervals, The shock was perceptible in all the towns and villages within 15 or 20 miles. At Toms R y of thé citizens were greatly v1 were violent! d_ perceptibly. hock was more vioient than it was during uy of the three former explosions at the same factory. The United States dynamite company located its factory near Toms River about four years ago. Three explosions have occurred there, in which five meu were killed and three maimed for life. | Election Frauds in West THE KIND OF JURORS THEY HAVE To TRY THE | CASES. | A dispatch from Wheeling. W. Va. 21, says: There was rather « remarkable occur- rence in the United State court to-day, which | shows the futility of any further attempt by the government to secure convictions in elec- | tion cases, at least with the present panel. William Meyers, alleged to be a minor, was on trial. and at 6:30 the jury came into court and said there was no possible chance of an agree- ment being reached. The court said it would send them back, when Foreman O'Brien said some of the jury were willing to convict if the could be assured in advance what the punish- ment would be. The court sharply reproved the jury for their attempt to compromise the cuse, whereupon the jury retired and in five iainutes returned a verdict of not guilty. The sensation was tremendous. and the verdict is the talk of the city to-night. It is not thought ay further cases will be tried by the district wrney. although seventy indictments are in his hands. For Enticing Farm Hands Away. AN EMIGRATION AGENT ARRESTED IN NORTH CARO- LINA ON A CURIOUS CHAK A dispatch from Raleigh, N. C., March 21, says: A white man named H. H. Cheek, one of the agents engaged in inducing negro emigrants to go south, came to grief here to-day. He left here last night with a party of about sixty negroes for Mississippi, but at Greensboro’, 80 miles from here, he was overhauled by a prom- jnent farmer of this section, named A. T. Mial, who had him arrested and brought back to this caty, charging that he had enticed away hands who were hired to work for him by the year. Cheek was arraigned this evening before a justice of the peace and found guilty, and in default of $200 was put in jail. His whole crew were left at Greensboro’, where they yet re- main. have been left without hands enough to work their crops, and Mial determined to make a test case.

England’s Supply Will be Exhausted in| What Other Governments 1990 and Our Anthracite by 2100. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Royal Statistical society of Great Britain has been collecting figures and measurements with a view to ascertaining exactly how long it will be before the English coal fields are worked out. The question is not by any means anew one, but the report recently issued by the society tabulates new and past estimates in a very instructive manner, The first calcula- tion quoted is that of Sir William Armstrong, who in 1861 stated that all the coal within 4,000 feet of the surface would be exhausted in about 212 years. Prof. Jevons, an excellent author- ity. came forward a few years later with a pre- diction nearly twice as gloomy; that is to say, he thought the last box of coal would be raised within 110 years. - This forecast was received with both anger and derision. Prof. Marshall | spent several years on the study, and in 1873 | corroborated Jevons and 0} d Sir William in nearly every particular, ‘The latest contribu- tor to the controversy is Price Williams, who is also largely confirmatory of the two last named. he Thus we have three able authorities, writing | at different periods and arguing from quite different standpoints, agreeing that the coal supply of Engiand is not likely to last beyond | the year 1990. The importance of these pre- | dictions can scarcely be overrated, for without @ constant coal output Great Britain would bea commercial wreck. It needed not the argu- ments used by the scientists named as a sequel | to their calculations to make it clear that if they are correct in their surmise the year 1990 | will witness, or at least herald, the downfall of | Great Britain as a great nation, No nation without a supply of coal, either in its own soil or close at hand, can ever attain to or retain commercial eminence, aud this is particularly true of a country which is very thickly popu- lated, and whose manutactories find employ- ment for a majority of its inhabitants. Another reason for the serious prospect for England in | this matter is the singular poverty of the coun- | try in such substitutes for coal as Inmber, nat- ural gas, petroleum and other heat-producing | products, Of course, ina country of such extent and with such resources as the United States, the coal problem is far less pressing, though even | here, as Price Williams points out, the supply is quite limited. On this side of the Atlantic the question has been inquired into in the in- terests of different localities, and it has been conceded that the anthracite coal supply of Pennsylvania has only about twice the life ahead of it that is predicted for the English mines. This, too, is supposing the consump- tion and demand will not increase as rapidly as there is every indication of their doing, Hence it will be seen that the question as to what | must be the fuel of the future is not one that | can be altogether laid on one eide. The | triumphs of science of recent years have al- most destroyed the force of the word “impos- sible,” and it may be that some inventor will | eventually solve the problem of how to store | and utilize the heat Roca the sun’s rays. This | seems really to be the only source of heat which is inexhaustible. see How Sam Bryant was Fooled. ‘CE TO MAKE $100,000 By Nor | story of Sam Bryant, the proud owner of Proc- | tor Knott. Some one had said: “Bryant says Come-to-Taw will win the Kentucky derby, | and he ought to know.” “I don’t care about that,” answered Board- “Owners are just as apt to be mistaken ny One else.” The night before the Kimball stakes were run for at Latonia last fall,” said Boardmen, | “I was at the hotel with Bryant,Tucker and one uw m: or two others. er bets his money pretty | freely, you know. and of course he wanted to | play the race.

Gibson, of Ohio, is very ill with pneumonia, the result of exposure {in Washington, inauguration day, -Congress- man Townshend, of Illinois, is dead, of the same disease, contracted or augmented at Washington, March 4. How many others are sick or dead as a result of the exposure at Washington that day, is not and ngver will be known. The statement, however, that a thou- sand deaths will be the result of the ex- posure in Washington when President Har- rison was inaugurated is probably under rather than above the limit. An ordinarily robust man can stand wetti! without either danger or inconvenience when he has an opportunity to afterward take care of himself. But when the crowd isso great that thousands have to go without rooms, and, as a consequence, a man who has been drenched by the rain has no opportunity to change his clothes or even procure a fire at which to warm himself, the resulting sickness is bound to be great. The best argument in favor of chang- ig the date of inauguration day is perhaps a sanitary one, and it would seem to be the part of common sense to select some time in April when there is at least a chance of having good weather. The experience of many that there are always storms in Washington during the first week in March, eaxshoartcrntonr cs Telephones Burned Out. From the New York Herald. The Electrical Review records a singular ac- cident to telephones in Cleveland which should serve as a warning to linemen in other cities. Oue of the Cleveland linemen while stringing awire toanew building dropped it from the top of a pole down upon the line carrying the powerful current of electricity for the motor cars. The result is said to have been the almost instantaneous burning out of a number of telephones in East Cleveland. This accident illustrates a new danger at- tending. exposed electric wires. If telephones are liable to be almost instantly burned out by accidental contact of their connecting wires with car-motor lines some means should be de- vised for protecting houses in which the tele- phone is placed. Brown and His “‘Wives.”* MANY A TRUE WORD SPOKEN AS A JOKE. Some months ago a Mr. and Mrs, Brown ap- peared in New Glasgow, N. S. An artist painted Mrs. Brown's portrait and placed it in astore window. A. M. Frazer, the town clerk, ina spirit of fun, told the proprietor it was the portrait of an abandoned woman, where- upon the proprietor threw it in the cellar. The SOURCES OF HISTORY. Are Doing and the United States Should Do. Eugene Schuyler, whose nomination for as- sistant secretary of state was withdrawn by the President, has an interesting letter in the New York Evening Post upon the project of Mr. B. F. Stevens for publishing photo-lithographic fac similes of various historical and diplomatic documents relating to the United States in the English and other foreign archives. Most European governments, Mr. Schuyler says, are more liberal than the United States, where the documents in the possession of the state department are guarded most jealously, and it is very difficult to obtain permission to see them. Some amusing examples of these difficulties were given by the late Frederick Kapp, who, when writing his life of Baron Steuben, was refused permission to consult the apers about him in our national archives. Troe European archives have been carefully arranged of late years in rooms which permit of easy access to them, with additional rooms for the purposes of historical study; and nearly all of them have also been well indexed, so that it is possible for the archivist to place at once his hands on any document. ir. Schuyler speaks with regard to this positively, because he has studied in the archives of Paris, the Hague, Vienna, Moscow, Venice and various former Italian capitals.’ At the Hague per- haps the authorities were too lax, for he was left alone for hours in a room filled with documents with no one to supervise him. The most comfortable place was Moscow, where all the documents relating to foreign affairs are preserved down to the beginning of the present century (the later ones being in St. Petersburg) in a building recently erected for that purpose. More than this, European governments have begun a system of publish- ing portions of their archives, in some cases the older ones, which are more difficult to de- cipher and ought not to be too much handled, and in others those pertaining to historical periods of very generat interest; and they are trying to complete the public documents in their own possession by others relating to them in foreign archives, WHAT OUR GOVERNMENT HAS DONE, The United States government, Mr. Schuyler says, made a good beginning in this direction, but it has not followed it up since the war as it should have done. It purchased the papers of Was! $20,000, and those of Hamilton for $26,000, in- cluding the expenses of publication, as well as large collections of papers of Jefferson, Madi- son, and John Adams, the last great acquisition in this line being those papers of Franklin, preserved in England, which have recently been turned to very good use by historical students, Besides this, the government printed the proceedings of the convention which formed the Constitution, and the secret journals of the old Congress, at an expense of 10,542; the “Diplomatic Correspondence of the American Revolution,” edite: by Jared Sparks, which was originally printed in Boston in 1829 and 1830, in twelve vol- umes, at a cost of $50,000, and was sub- sequently reprinted at Washington in 1807 in six volumes; the diplomatic correspond- ence from 1783 to 1789, printed at Washington in 1833 and 1834, in seven volumes, at a cost of over $16,000, and reprinted in 1837, in three volumes; the diplomatic correspondence trom 1789 to 1828. entitled ‘American State Papers, Class I, Foreign Relations,” which was pub- lished in six volumes at Washington, from 1832 tol and the collection of “American Arch- edited by the late Peter Force, of which nine volumes were published at Washington be- tween 1837 and 1948, at a cost of over $236,000. The State department possesses also a large mass of other papers relating to our revolu- tionary history which are almost unknown, ow- ing to the want of funds for indexing them, and the restrictions on the study of historical students; and, among a mass of other material, all the journais, law hocks. &c., of the Russian~ American company, which are very important for the history of the whole Pacific coast, and ought by ali means to be readily accessible, IN VARIOUS EUROPEAN ARCHIVES there still exists a mass of matter practically, and in many cases wholly, unknown in America, the careful study of which would throw an en- tirely new light on many events in our early history. Mr. Bancroft, in his_ preliminary studies for his history, made and had made copious extracts from the papers to which he obtained access, but many have become acces- sible and even known since that time. Henry Adams, too, possesses copies of very many for- eign state papers relating to American history during the early part of the present century, Even should these collections come into the possesion of the state department of the nation- al library, they would be imperfect. Unfor- tunately, it is not easy for students of American history to visit European capitals with suffi- cient ‘means and leisure, as well as official in- troductions to enable them to study the arch- ives thoroughly. Some of them find it dif- ficult to make a prolonged stay for such a purpose even at Washington, Boston, or Albany, and it is of importance, therefore, not only that our government should acquire every- thing which can throw a light on the history of our country, but that all of this should be printed, #0 as to be widely accessible. Papers relating to our revolutionary histor are in the Russian, German, Spanish, and Dute! archives, but naturally the documents pre- served in England are by far the most import ant to us, as it is necessary for any historian to see both sides of the question, Besides diplo- matic correspondence with. other governments during the American revolution preserved at the foreign office (and until 1783 this includes correspondence with European governments only) there are the various documents in the public record office, now gathered together from the various offices of the crown, and those relating to America alone, from the earliest times down to the year 1743, fill 700 volumes, ‘They include the military correspondence and reports, and the relations between the colonies and the board of trade and the other depart- ments of the government. In addition to these, there are the papers preserved in the British museum, in the Royal institution, in the Lans- downe, Germaine, Dartmouth, Auckland, and Carlisle papers—and those of other private families whose members were more or less concerned with American affairs, not all of which are yet brought to light. For the twelve years from 1772 to 1784 Mr. Stevens, who has for the last twenty-five years been engaged in searching for such documents, has catalogued or triply indexed one hundred and twenty thousand different papers, few of which have ever been published or consulted, and many of which are entirely unknown. The proposal of Mr. Stevens for making transcripts of the doc- uments existing in the English archives was strongly supported by Mr. Lowell when min- ister at London, by Mr. Evarts when Secretary of State, and by Mr. Frelinghuysen when Sec- retary of State; and both in 1683 and 1884 the matter was warmly recommended to the library committee of the Senate. Secretary Bayard also urged upon Congress the importance of purehasing Mr, Stevens’ papers on the Clinton- Cornwallis controversy, but without success, and now Mr. Stevens proposes a series of pho- tolithographic copies of the original documents. ‘The importance of utilizing Mr. Stevens’ large experience ought to insure the support of the government and also of all our colleges and Ee libraries interested in making American tory as complete and authentic as possible. sr spe err ieceaa ioe A Rich Display of Jewelry. From the Jeweler’s Circular, ‘The late inaugural ball gave an admirable op- portunity for observing the freedom with which American women, as a rule, indulge in personal ornaments, As the attendance at this ball was restricted to no one grade or clique, it fairly represented the taste and fashion of every station of society and every section of the country. A notable feature in the toilets was unquestionably the very lavish display of jewelry. Not only did the ‘creme de la creme exhibit faultless gems mounted with great taste and originality, but one saw much jewelry in which mediocre stones appeared, sometimes with harmonious and picasing effects, and sometimes in exceedingly bad taste.
