After Tux Stan's report of the proceedings in the Bering sea case before the Supreme Court yesterday closed Attorney General Miller continued his argument against the fil- ing of the petition and Mr. Choate replied. | The Attorney General then reviewed the evi- dence in part to show that there was reason to suppose that the court may have ascertained that seals had been killed within three miles of Oonamak Island. If this were so it did not matter how far from land the seizure tuok place. It might have been in the Irish chan- | | nel for that matter. Moreover, be held that | objection to” the jurisdiction based on the | ground that the seizure was illegal was mercly | 4 personal privilege, and that it had been waived by a failure to plead itat the proper | time. Supposing, however. that every necessary preliminary had been complied with, he main- tained that even if the seizure was illegal and @ violation of international law it c : the right of the United States to « ward on the high seas for violation of United States municipal laws, and in support of this he quoted the Ker ease, in which a man had been | Kidnapped in a foreign country and brought | here for trial and wherein the court had said it | could not interfere. e THE POLITICAL QUESTION. He repeated the argument of the brief as to the political character of the question and added: “Judiciary does not make boundaries, | it finds them. The political departments, the | legislative and executive, make boundaries both | in geography and in sovereignty. . “The courts can hear evidence, examine pa- pers, find the lines so fixed and adjudged, and decree rights, public and private, with ref-| erence to such lines, but they are powerless to | adjudge them to be right or wrong. “There is a duty imposed by the act of Con- gress upon the President. Somebody has got tuke the responsibility of deciding what con- stitutes the dominion of the United States in Bering sea,and who is tomake that decision ex- cept the chief execntive, who is called upon by his oath to see that the laws be faithfully ex ecuted within that dominion? If thir be 40, is uot his decision on that question conclusive? If it be not we may have an executive with the | ships of the government enforcing one claim | and the courts in the rear denying that claim. Certainly not an edifying epectacle even i contemplation, and not @ spectacle to which this court has ever given any encouragement. MR. CHOATE’S CLOSING ARGUMENT. Mr. Choate closed for the petitioner. He said that until now he had supposed that what was said by Chief Justice Marshall was still tre, “that we live under a government of laws and not of men.” If this view of the executive | power. which has been set forth, should be cepted by this court, then our boasted Consti- tution and laws for the protection of life, lib- erty and property would, it seemed to him, ly be worth the paper on which they were printed. If it be true, und he thought it had never been asserted until tive minutes ago, | that the President in the performance of any duty can pat a construction upon treaties and aets of Congress which shouid be conclusive upon this court why. he asked, has the United States any courts at all? If it be true that the President can deter- mine under an act of Congress what Congress itself bas refused to assert, that instead of a universally accepted law of nations, which is as much a part of the law as any statate on the | books, namely, that the territorial waters of | Alaska extend only three miles from shore—if the President ean extend the jurisdiction sixty | miles way need there be any other co-ordinate department of the government? If the Presi- dent can order the seizure of a foreign ship which was probably uever within the waters of the United States, and certainly could not have committed an offense against their municipal | laws, and without any warrant of law can for- cibly drag her into port and give jurisdiction to a district court, why. he isa more irrespon- | sible monarch than ever yet has occupied a throne. Dr. Choate’s argument was not concluded when the court adjourned. EX-MINISTER MIZNER. He Thinks His Barrutidia Incidest Should Have Been Overlooked.

Mr. Mizner expresses sur- prise in his letter at the manner of his Aismixsal from the service, and claims that in | view of his service in bringing about a perce | between the hostile armics, the act of his non- interference in the Barrandia matter should overlooked, even bad he been | “rong, which he disclaims. He says: “A resolution of the lower house of | Congress having been passed in October calling } for the papersin the case. itis to be regretted that | action was taken in the matter before # commit- tee had any opportunity to report. as Tam ab- solutely certain that a fall investigation of the case before that committee. including my pres- ence before itif necessary. would have ex- uined everything to its entire satisfaction.

OVER A HUNDRED KILLED. A Terrible Explosion of Fire-Damp ina Pennsylvauia Mine Shaft. SIXTY BODIES FOUND—HORRIBLE SCENES—TEE YLAME OF A MINER'S LAMP THOUGHT TO HAVE IONITED THE GAS--RUT THR CAUSE OF THE Dis- ASTER NOT ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED. An explosion of fire-damp occurred yester- day morning shortly after 9 in the mammoth shaft ut Scottdale, Pa., by which 110 miners were instantly killed and a large number in- jured. The explosion is supposed to be thd re- sult of the ignition of a miner's oil lamp, but whether this is true or not will never bo known, as note mgn is left alive of those who were working in the immediate vicinity of the ex- plosion. Those who were not killed are ins critical condition and many deaths are mo- moentarily expected. The most deadly agency in this explosion, as in every other of the kind, was wae afterslamp. Almost every body yet Tecovered bears the evident marks of suffoca- tion. A few men who are among the injured, realizing the awful situation, fell to the ground \and the After-Aamp passing over their heats they escaped its full force. Lmmyediately after the dull roar of the expiosion died away the deadly gas fumes swept up the shaft, poison- ing the atmosphere to such an extent that those on the bank were compelled ‘to retire te a distance. FIRE ADDS TO THE HORROR. Toadd tothe horror of the occasion fire broke out immediately in the workings. Start- ing frdm the place where the explosion oc- curred it passed along the tunnel into the larger workings, the flame inerensing in volume about every hundred yards or wherever the gas had acctimulated. ‘Those on the bank were qnickly alive to this new calamity, for the hotair rushed up the main shaft, forcing them back to a more retired position. As the tire passed into the older workings the gas would ignite and a series of light re- ports were heard, giving warning that the fire was spreading. ‘The machinery by which the huge fuus used to force air in the mine are | worked was uninjured by the explosion, and as soon as the fumes of the escaping gas moder- ated sufficiently to permit it they were called into requisition and air was rapidly forced into the mine. It was thought that would enable search parties to enter and begin at once the work of reseue. In this, however, a failure was evident for a time, and ‘the fire Durued fiercer than ever in the farther portions of the mine. At the time the explosion occurred the fall force of men were at work. What the exact number is cannot be learned. Superintondent Reighley. who had charge of the Dunbar charge of the Frick. mine. He at once dis- patched mossengers for help, and ina little time a large number of physiciaus were present, all of whom volunteered to do what they could. Relief parties were organized and the tool house fitted up asa hospital for the reception of the injured. RELIEF PARTIES AT WORK. An entry was effected and a relief party at once descended to do its work. The scene in the mine was in every sense horrible one. ‘The props in the tunnels were bodily torn away and in many places blocked the passage und had to be cut away. Penetrating as near as possible in the direction of the fire a large, number of bodies were discovered. e Their faces were swollen and distorted and their hands clinched, showing plainly the des- porate tight they had made for life. The tire had by this time passed on to the further work- ing, and the relief party premed forward to the spot where thetxplosion took place. A num- ber of bodies, or rather portions of them, were found lying in every direction. The fire had done its work. The bodies were charred and blackened, and in some cases burned to a crisp, crumbling to dust at the touch of the rescuers, SIXTY BODIES RECOVERED. Sixty bodies were quickly removed to the surface by the several relief relays und then the work had tobe stopped, the fire driving the workers back tothe main shaft. The in- jured were all near the entrance to the work- ings and had thus managed to escape the after-damp They were quickly given assist- ance. THE SCENE ON THE BANE. Following the roar of the explosion there was a sharp concussion, felt for at least a mile around. The frame shanties of the miners shook like reeds and it needed no messenger to inform the women and children of the awful calamity which had befallen them. The entire population rushed to the scene of the disaster, screaming and calling upon heaven for aid. Mothers took their children in their arms, and, regardless of the cold, ran to the mouth of the mine. Once there they were helpless, and cowered on the coal banks, wringing their hands d trying as best they could to comfort each other.” Several women fainted on the bank and were left to lie there unattended except by their weeping children. Each seemed absorbed, almost dazed with trouble. So far as can be learned sixty wives and families are left penni- less by the catastrophe, and in some eats abso- lutely breadless. for the mine has not been working its ful! force for some time. ety means possible will be resorted to in order to supply the widowed mothers and chil- dren with the necessaries of life. ‘The Frick Company will be liberal in this direction and it is understood that a subseription paper will shortly be cireulated to obtain money in sup- port of the unfortunate families. ‘The mammoth plant embraces 509 ovens, one of the largest plants in the coke region, but it is hard of access. It is situated'near the United works, where an explosion recently destroyed the entire shaft. The coitins have already been ordered for eighty persons. The only man who escaped from fatal mine was Mine Foreman IN THE LEGISLATURES, Action Taken by the Governments of Vari- ous States, The Connecticut house committee on canvass of the votes was in vession until 1 o'clock yes- terday morning discussing the form of their report. At 1 p.m. it was announced that they had decided to postpone their report until to- day. ‘The legislative committee appointed by the governor of Rhude Inland to recount the vote for Congressmen finished its labors Monday, the district in which the ballots were cast being the second.

Sullivan was made an Eik by New- ark Lodge during an engagement he played in that city last fall. On Monday itemembers were very much surprised at a report telegraphed from Chicago that Dr. Simon Qninlan, the grand exalted ruler of the order, had suspended the champion for glaring infractions of its rules. Detective John F. Cosgrove, who vouched for Sullivan when he was proposed for member- ship, was amazed at the news. “If Sullivan has done something wrong,” said he, “he ought to be ashamed of himself, but Ican hardly credit the news. We held our regular session Sunday night and we heard nothing of it then.” Mr. Coagrove visited members of the lod but those seen wero as much in the dark ax abont the matter. All were of the opinion # if the news was true Sullivan’ offense must have been an aggravated one since it called for such heroic action from the head of the order. In response to a telegrain of inquiry as to the cause for expelling John 5. Sullivan’ from the Elks, Allen Q. Myers, the grand secretary of the order, last night wired as follows: “For misconduct at Milwaukee.” ——— e+ —____ MISS GRIDLEY'S LONG SLEEP. She Awakes at Last After Slumbering Nearly Six Months, Miss Grace Gridley of Amboy, IL, eighteen years olg. has been sleeping withont a mo- ment'sawakening for nearly half a year. Last spring a revival of religion took place in Am= boy. Miss Gridley was among the most enthu- siastic workers. One evening the scenes at the meeting were more interesting than ever and Miss Gridley went home in an excited state of mind. She went to bed saying the was very sleepy and hoped her mother would not insist on her getting up too carly. ‘The next morning the girl failed to appear at the usual hour and her mother concluded not to disturb her. Later in the day Mra. Gridley went to her daughter's room and found her still sleeping. “I guess I'll let Grace sleep a while longer,” she said. “She must be very tired.” As the girl failed to wake up later the mother at- tempted to arouse her and found it impossible todo so. Physicians were called and every known remedy for trance was applied in vain. The girl slept on, days passed iuto weeks and weeks into months, and Grace, the “Sleeping Beauty of Amboy.” as she became known, still lay upon her couch, Ler breast gently heaving, her lips slightly parted. ‘Tenderly the mother and father cared for her. Food was adininis- tered in a liquid form through her half-parted lips by means of a apoon, the act of swallowing being almost imperceptit The case was a marvel medical frater- nity. Physicians from all parts of the countr7 came to study i:. The theory accepted by the majority was that the religious enthusiasm un- | der which the girl had labored for severai days | had prostraied the mental faculties and bad brought on this peculiar sleep. | As reported on Suturday last Miss Gridley is | at last awake and her awakening was almost as | strange asthe sleep itself. She is thoroughly | awake, no doubt, but goes ‘about the house in a listless manner.not seeming to notice any one and has not yet spoken « word. She seems to have lost the faculty of articu- | lation, and has so far only been able to answer | questions with « guttural sound bearing no re- semblance to speech. She takes her accustomed | seat at the table, but eats very little. Her de- | sire for food seems to have utterly left her. One of the straugest things about the whole matter is the tact that she has lost very little | flesh, and is nearly ax plump and rosy as when she entered upon her long sleep. AN EXODUS TO OKLAHOMA, ! Large Numbers of Colored People Leaving | Alabama for the New Territory. | Abig cxodusef colored people from Ala- | bama to Oklahoma is said to have set in. Fifty families of negroes have left for Kingfisher, and they will be followed in afew days by 200 | families. A colored man named Foster from Leavenworth, Kan., has been at Birmingham for some time working up the business, He | represents that the emigrants can secure rich farming lands in Oklahoma for almost nothing | and that it enough of them will go they cau : soon secure absolute control of the government | of the territory. The latter argument seems to be the principal inducement, A number of | colored men who owned good farms have sold | © everything and will join in the exodus. i Isanc Myers of Baltimore Dead, Inaac Myers, the second colored man to hold | a position under the federal government of Maryland, died Monday night in Baltimore. He was fifty-six years old. In 1865 he led the | great strike movement of the colored mechanics in that city. In the same year be bought a ship yard with moneys raised exclusively from colored peovle, thereby giving employment to hundreds of colored men whore positions were lost in the strike movement. Al i this time Mr. Myers ised a call for a national labor | convention of colored men. The convention met in Washington on January 10, 1871. It is ahistorical fact that this convention was the largest and best representative body of colored | men ever hekd in the Uniged States. Mr. Myers wus elected president. In the following year | Frederick Dougiass succeeded Mr. Myers as | president. Subsequently Mr. Myers held differ- | ent positions under the government. He was | rominently identified with every movement fox the advancement of the col race, and member of all their Masonic and other societies.
