Frenchmen Who Perished While Saving Others, THREE MARINE DISASTERS. DEPUTIES SENT TO PROTECT THEM. Non-Union Miners at Elkhorn, Pa., Threat- ‘ened by Strikers. Prrresvna, Pa., Dec. 21.—Eighteen armed deputies have been sent to the woal mines of Brown & Sons at Elkhorn, this county, to pro- tect the colored non-unionists who recently took the places of the strikers. 4 delegate convention of miners is in session ‘at Monongahela today to consider the strik and threats were made that after the cones tion adjourned the delegates and mings wot to w gree £0 march to Elkhorn and force the come out of the mines, Elkhorn is only a short distance from Monon- la City, and fearing that the threats would carried out the operators asked for deputies to protect their workmen. There are 150 Regroes at work, and the feeling against them is bitter. The miners bave been out three months and many of their families are in desti- tute circumstances. ‘ An effort will be made at the convention to have the strike declared off, as the men are dis- cottraged and growing restless. saben Sonal DIED LIKE HEROES, Fourteen French Villagers Lose Their Lives in Rescuing Others Ftom the Flames. Pants, Dec. 21.—A most disastrous conflagra- tion has occurred at Berson, a village of Gironde, and fourteen of the villagers were either burned to death in their homes or were killed while attempting to escape. The flames, fanned by a high wind, spread with frightful rapidity, and it was early seen that the efforts to fight the fire would be fruitless. Attention was then turned to the saving of the aged and little children, and it was in the work of rescue that many of the villagers lost their lives. ‘The greater part of the village was destroyed and the inhabitants are in great straits, owing to the lack of food and clothing. The residents of surrounding towns are doing all they can to alleviate their sufferings. i WRECKED ON LEE ‘Three Marine Disasters on the Coast of Virginia. Care Cuartes, Va., Dec. 21.—The three- masted schooner A. P. Nowell, from Suffolk to New York, lumber laden, went ashore early this morning off Hogg Island and became» total lose. ‘The three-masted schooner McEller has gone ashore south of Smith’s Island and is a total loss. She was abandoned at sea. The schooner Robert H. Parker has gone ashore about one mile southeast of Cape Charles light and sunk. A SHORE. ———— SLAVE TRADE OF THE PACIFIC. The Montserrat Salls to the South Sea Islands for Another Cargo. Sax Fnaxcisco, Cat., Dee. 21.—The tramp steamer Monteerrat, which recently carried a cargo of Gilbert Islanders to Guatemala coffee plantations, has now been bought by the slave dealers and will be used to transport by the wholesale these poor ignorant South Sea Island- ers to the unhealthy coffee plantations of Cen- tral America. The Montserrat left here December 4 for Guatgmala. She had on board Capt. W. Ferguson, the man who brought over 500 Gil bert Islanders on the brig Tasiti, and whom sickness forced to stay here. He thus escaped the fate of all on the brig, which foundered off the Mexican coast. Ferguson's presence on board is accounted for by a member of the former expedition, who has been approached within ten days with a proposition to ship fpr another trip when the steamer gets back here and fits out for the raid on the peaceful homes of the South Pacific. Ferguson’s errand is to seeure the aid of some of, the interpreters and natives, who went to the Sonth Coast plan- tations’ as whippers-in for another big load of slaves. Another cargo wasnot picked up with- out much difficulty, and the natives Ferguson intends to take back are to be used to spread glowing reports of the life of the natives in the new land. ‘The cruise will take in the Samoan and the Caroline groups before the Gilberts are touched, but little is expecteg from those islands, be- cause-the natives are not a Ixboring class. The four-masted schooner Alexander, now idte in Oakland creek, is also reported’ to be under charter to the slave dealers. The king of the Gilbert Islanders is slways hard up and the slave dealers pay him handsomely for his influence in getting laborers. Unless England, which lately assumed a protectorate over the Gilberts, steps in and forbids this ““blackbird- ing,” the island will be practically depopulated. The islanders are promised good wages and re- turn transportation, but two out of three fall victims to deadly fevers and change of climate. ——— RIVALING THE DAYS OF Excitement Caused by Gold Discoveries in Colorado. Dexven, Cot., Dec. 21.—Perhaps the great- est gold excitement since the days of '49 is at present attracting the attention of the entire west and thousands of people from Arizona New Mexico, Southern Colorado and Utab are rushing into these new fields. The excitement is unparalleled and towns along the Denverand Rio Grande both in southern Colorado and New Mexico are almost depopulated, Nearly 3,000 people are already upon the scene, and the new diggings are to have made pro- prietors wealthy in a day. Tt was for same time a matter of conjedture tn to the exact location of theve remarkable mines. Investigation makes them most ‘accessible from Durango and Dolores. It is said the Denver and Rio Grande is already sur- veying a line, and tons of provisions are being continuously forwarded. been received here ranging in weight from ten to fifteen ounces and are similar to those dis- covered in California gulch at the time of the Leadville excitement. —_—_—_. THE DANGER THAT LIES IN MILK. Alarming Discoveries Regarding Cows Near w York City. ‘New Yorx, Dec. 21.—Several Guinea pigs have recently died in the cages devoted to them of health of this city as the result of tubercu- losis. They contracted the disease after being in- oculated with milk taken from cans which had BEbeé at Nuggets of gold have | in the bacteriological department of the board | Montzngy, Mexico, Dec. 21.—It is learned here that Cecilia Salinus, who was yesterday sentenced to three years’ imprisonment by the | federal court at San Antonio for violation of ‘the United States neutrality laws, spent the months of August, September and October in Monterey and other points in the interior working up a sentiment of the revolutionary movement which was recently inaugurated on the Rio Grande bgrder. He was at that time indicted by the United States federal court and was out on bonds. He is known to have spent fully two months in the different military camps in the northern part of the repul distributed secretly a largo amount of revolutionary literature. He is be- lieved to have secured many adherents to tho cause among the army officials who are already to join the movement the moment the time ar- tives for the uprising and invasion. The high military and federal officials in this city no longer atfempt to conceal the fact that there are turbulent times in store for northern Mexico in the near future, It has also been authoritatively learned by Gen. Denardo Reyes, governor .* the state of Neuva Leon and commander of this military zone, that Julian Flores, who commanded one of the divisions of Catarino Garza's revolu- tionary forces, has been in Mexico the past seven months, and that he had the impudence to visit the City of Mexico, where he is be- lieved to have held a secret conference with the leaders of the clerical party. Flores is now thought to be in the vicinity of Matamoras. in the state of Tamaulipas. Ho isa wealthy and edneated man and is regarded in northern Mexico as being just the person to undertake the bold game that is now being played. A significant fact in connection with the ro- cent revolutionary outbreak is that Alexandro | Gonzales, father-in-law of Catarmo Garza, six weeks ago raised $26,000 cash by m z his extensive ranch properties in Texas. 8 mot was filed in the clerk's office of Neces county. Mang People think the amount has | gone into the fund to forward the revolutionary movement now in operation. San Antonto, TEx., Dec. 21.—Gon. Frank Wheaton, commander of this military depart- ‘ment, has a telegram from Fort Mcintosh stat- ing that a courier had just arrived there from San Ygnacio bringing information that the fed- | eral authorities had made an investigation and that the report that Mexican soldiers were held as prisoners at San Ygnacio is not true. The who soldiers crossed over from Mexico at the time of the trouble have remained on this side of the river of their own free will. They refuse to return to Mexico, but for what reason it is not known. It is believed by many that they are in sympathy with the bandits and it is expected they will join the outlaws when,| the opportunity offers. ——— DISTRESS IN THE SOUTHWEST. Indians and Settlers Suffering From: Cold and Lack of Food. Kansas Crrr, Mo., Dec. 21.—Reports received from Guthrie point to great suffering in the western part of the territory, while up in the Cherokee strip there are reported Indian troubles on account of shortage vf rations. Fort Reno has not yet been called upon for troops, but an official announcement saya that the Indian bucks of the Blanket tribes are danc- ing, while the women are starving. The rations were not nearly enough for a calm winter, not to speak of the sort of weather that is now pre- vailing. In one place ten Indians in one tepeo have had but ten pounds of meat for over a woek, with heavy, soggy bread and no coffee or other stimulant. ‘There are many sick in the tribes, who are dying rapidly, while tho vettlors who eae. in on the Arapahoe lands are suffering for lack of clothing aud food. They have lost all their stock by cold ar starvation and the ontlook for their own safety is gloomy. It is cold all over the territory and a regular blizzard bas been blowing for several days, with fine sifting snow. No colder weather has been experienced in many years, HOW THE MONTEREY BEHAVED. The Trial Trip of the New Coast Defense Vessel Highly Satisfactory. Sax Francisco, Cat., Dec. 21.—The manag- ers of the Union iron works have concluded not to give the new const defense vessel Monterey another preliminary trial run until tomorrow. The trial yesterday was regarded as highly satisfactory both’ by the contractors and the naval representatives who were present. The average revolutions of the engines yesterday were 180, and this was maintained for four hours without difficuity. It is expected to in- crease the mvolutions to 140 tomorrow and to 160 on the following day, and then'it is intended to have the offic While running ai speed of from eleven to thirteon knots yester- iy it was shown that the Monterey is a wet ship forward. Vater ran over her bow and grew in volume as the speed increased until right at the point of her bow there was a stendy torrent pouring on her from four to five fect above the deck. It rushed over tho forward part of the deck for a distauce of thirty or forty feet back of the hawse pipes. ‘The main volume of water was just at point of the bow where the hawse pipes, covered by immense iron hoods, are located, and these, with large anchors which ure cured on both sides of the hawse pipes, formed a breassworks, which caused the water to bank at that pomt. ’ The wave was broken before it reached within ten feet of the forward turret and ran off the sides without causing any flood near the turret, though there were small streams running along the sides for a consider- able distance back of the point. ‘The bay was smooth and the vessel was per- fectly steady without any tendency to pitch or dip her bow in the water. The members of the naval board expressed no surprise at the man- ner in which she throw the waves over her bow and stated that nothing ele could be expected of a vessel of the monitor type with a free board of thirty inches, as the Monterey ba During her run the engineer aboard took data in the engine room and the fire room,upon which the preliminary horse wer computa- tions will be made. The naval engineers who were aboard the vessel and members of tho trial board also say that so far as her machinery was concerned it has worked satisfactorily, and that there is every indication that when forced to her full power the new ves- sel will meot the requirements of the contract.

He also, in the same con- nection, presented the memorial of George L. Converse of Obio and others, a com- mittee appojnted by the convention recently held in New Orleans, asking Congress *to aid iu the construction of the Nicaragua canal. Both were ordered to be printed axa Senate docu- ment. In the same connection Mr. Sherman | ‘Ohio) reported from the committe on foreign relations a bill to amend the act of incorporation of the Nicaragua canal (which was placed gn the calendar),and he gave notice that he would, at as early a day as practicable, attempt to secure action upon it. THE CENSUS INVESTIGATION. The resolution recently offered by Mr. Vest (Mo. directing the committee on the census to investigate charges of partitan action against certain census enumerators was reported back favorably from the committee on contingent expenser nnd war agreed to. ir. Dawes (Mass.) reported back from the committee on Indian affairs. bill for the ad- jastment of the rights of Indians and Indian tribes to lands owned or occupied by them in the Indian territory, with a view to. the crea- tion of a state embracing that territory, and it | was placed on the calendar. ‘The House bill to incorporate tho Protestant | Episcopal Cathedral foundation of the District of Columbia wus reported and passed.

And, therefore, half hour was the limitation placed upon the discussion. The bill provides in the aggregate for an ex- penditure of about $550,000, Mr. Antony (Tex.) was a strong opponent of the measure,and although he permitted it to be reported to the House with a favorable | recommendation, he then resumed his antago- nism, and the House being without a quorum was obliged at 2:35 to adjourn. ee aor nt CAPITOL TOPICS. TO PRESERVE THE FORESTS. The old agitation locking to the evactment of more stringent laws for the preservation of forests was renewed this morrgng before the Heuse committee on public launis. when argu- ments were made in favor of the Paddock tor- extry bill by a delegution representing the American Forestry Association, which has been in session this week at the Agricultural De- partment. The gentlemen present were: Prof, | Fernow, chief of the forestry division of | the Agricultural Department; Secretary J. | D, W. French of Boston, Mr. | of Montreal, vice president for Canada; Dr, Jones of Ohio, member of the executive com: | mittee: Dr. N. W. Eggleston, Washington, re- cording secretary, and Mr.’E. A.

THE REPORTS OF THE DOCTORS ARE APOUT TUE SAME AS YESTERDAY IN REGARD To THEIR DIS- ‘TINGUISHED PATIENT. ‘There has been no appreciable change in the condition of Mr. Blaine sinee yesterday. After his serious relapse and attack of heart failure on Sunday the ex-Secretary bas rallied some-_ what and he seems to remainat that same point. He has hada respite, ‘That is about all that can be made of the reports of the physicians and | family today. Mr. Blame passed another fairly comfortable night, and asa result of the rest be seemed fo | be at least no worse this morning than he was yesterday. ‘This is all that the doctors would It is the same story as bad to be told yesterday. Should the sick man have another setback similar to the one be hadon Sunday it is hardivto be hoped that his enfeebled constitu- tion will be able to withstand it. All the members of the family except Mr. Blaine's son- in-law, Col. Coppinger. ‘are at the honse now, and while they at times leave for short strolls about the neighborhood none of them dare venture far away from the house on Lafayette square for fear that the case may take a sudden turn for the worse. There is the constant dread that the end when it comes may come suddenly, and it is understood that allare Prepared for the worst at any time. AN EARLY VISIT OF THE DoCTORR. Dr. Johnston and Dr. Hyatt paid an early visit to the bedside of their patient this morn- ing, arriving at the Blaine mangion not long after 8 o'clock. They remained for about an hour. When they left they told @ Stan re- rter who was waiting outside that the con- dition of Mr. Blaine was § out the anme as | it was yesterday. He bad slept well and took | bis nourishment to their satisfaction, but it) could not be said that he was any stronger or | that his symptoms were any more favorable than they were at any time during the past twenty-four hours. That was all they cared to ray. | Two cf the earliest callers today were Sena- tor Hale and Representative Boutelle, who hr boen such intimate friends of the ex-Secretary for so long atime. They were both admitted | to the house, but even they were not allowed to | | enter the sick room. Mr. Blaine ts able to talk with those about him, but he is not allowed to converse as much as he would probably like to | do, and even the most intimate friends of the famfty have been rigidly excluded from room, for fear that their presence might unduly weary and excite him. To the newspaper men waiting outside Mr. Boutelle said that from what they had beeu able to learn Mr. Blaine’s condition was very much the same as it was yesterday; at least it | was no worse than it had been at any time since the rally from the severe setback he had suf- | fered on Sunday. “But,” said he in a signifi- cant tone, “Mr. Blaine is very sick man.” — | THE SITUATION IN THE SICK ROOM. When the doctors left after their first visit | this morning the curtains in the south windows of the sick room were raised to catch the first yays of the sun as they came around from be- hind the Department of Justice building. Later, however, it was necessary to lower them, for the strong glare was more than his eyes could stand. Mr. Blaine’s bed is on the far- ther side of the room and facing the windows, and he enjoys to the full the view across the avenue and past the White House toward the river. Occasionally he ix strong enough to be ropped up in bed by pillows behind his shoul- ers, but it is not for long, and soon it is necessary for him to rest once more. Mentally Mr. Blaine is ail right, but he is pitifully weak and can move but htile without assistance. Trained nurses are constantly on | hand and Mrs. Blaine is by the bedside almost | all the time. Everything is done that can be | done to alleviate hix condition, but this is very little after all. and it “is probable that even the hysicians feel now that there is not much that ies within their power toaidhim. Time alone will tell the story. That his present illness may have a favorable ending is the hope of every one. and people of all political creeds are as ove in their expressions of sympathy at this sad | time. GENERAL INQUIRY AND INTEREST. Mr. Blaine’s condition is the eubject of gen- eral interest and inquiry at all times. Every ‘one who passes the house stops to look up at the windows and many stop to inquire at the | door. ‘To all the same answer is made—that he is about the same and holding his own as well as is to be expected. The herdic transfer man who stands at the corner below the Blaine house is supposed to be an authority, and hardly a serby fails to stop to ask information. This ie gets, as a rule,from the newspaper men, who make a headquarters of his little shelter when the weather is cold and disagrecable, and he always bas a polite answer for every ques- tion. . This morning young Mr. Blaine went out for quite along walk and about noon Mr. and Mrs. Walter Damrosch and Misk Blaine left the house, but they were not away a great length of time. ‘The physicians can be reached by tele- phone and would be able to arrive at the house in a very few minutes after hearing of any re- lapse, so that the family are prepared for any emergency. The slightest change is noted to | provide as far as possible against the recurrence | of the heart trouble and strong stimulants and restoratives are constantly at band. ‘To a reporter Dr. Johuston said today: “Mr, Blane is just about the sameas be was yesterday—that is to say, there has been no ap- preciable change since yesterday. I think I told you then that he was doing pretty well. No,” added the doctor, “there is nothing | special to say this morning about his condi- tion.”” AFRAID THERE 18 No HOPE, Representative Bingham of Pennsylvania was one of the early morning callers. The news he received at the door was good as far as it went,but Mr. Bingham felt no more than tem- | porary relief at it. ‘Tam afraid there is no nope,” he said. “It is the end that unfortunately must come to all of us, and Mr. Blaine is comparatively young. His loss will take a great man out of the na- Itis catia Premature to discuss, as yet, the removal of Mr. Blaine from Washington to climate more favorable to him. He has only recovered slightly from the severe attack of Sunday and is still’ ina state of extreme weak- which he has little thought of what is piace about him. Another attack, that would still further reduce bis vitality, is, of course, to be feared, though it is hoped’ to avert one, and even should the very best hap- pen and he tapidly recover it will be some time before his removal can be given the slight- | est conideration. At 2:30 this afternoon it was rej that Mr. Biaine was resting comfortably. He has been sleeping a good deal and has hada fairly good day. The doctors have not been back since morning. —_————_-2-—____. THE B. AND P. TRACKS. Capt. Terbeger Recommends That Those in the North Half of Square 267 be Removed. Capt.
