This morning a number of negroes went to Krebs and assisted in the work in onlya half hearted way aud one of their number was heard to say it served the miners right to have been killad. Word was passed frow mouth to mouth and the indig- nation and fury of the miners kiew no bound: The United tates deputy marshal, anticipating some such trouble, was on hand with a posso and drove the colored men from tho pluce at the point of Winchesters Terrible Anguish of Wom As body after body was removed from tho ground, women crazed with despair would throw themselves in front of the shaft in their efforts to determine at once whether it was that of father, brother or husband. Time and time again wera the women presseu back from the mouth of tho shaft, but as the work of rescus proceeded the “same scene was re-enacted. It was almost impossiblo to recognize any resemblance to human form in the bodies of many of those rescued. Heads, arms, legs, hands and feet in many instances wore toru from the trunks. The pit clothes wore either partially or entirely burned away and in several cases the flames had literally roasted almost all the flesh on the body. The dead were taken to a blacksmith shop uear the main shaft where a morgue had been improvised, and the living wei taken to their homes. The crowd vaceilitated botween the shafi und the blacksmith shop all day.

IN Investigating the Dublin Castle Explosion ~Quurreling Over a Sine Fane, of Egypt's Khedive—Happen- ings in the O1d World, ure (Copyrighted 1872y the New York Associated Press) Loxpoy, Jau. 8.—Tne cabinet council today was intended to be the last until the evening of the opening of Parliament, Tho doath of the khedive tas upsot their plans, and tho ministers are now considering tho situa- tion in Egypt. As 001 as the council met today, for some reason connected with the military position wn , the minister sent to the war oftice for Sir Redvers Bullock, who remained for a long timo in consultation with the council. Sir Redvers Bullock was at the bead of the Intelligence department in the Egyptian war in 1882 and in the Soudan expeditions of 1384 and 1855 ana was the readiest source of coplous information accessible. Imbibed English Ldeas, Accoridng to information gleaned since the council met, the eabinet has decided to troat the acceptance of Avbus Pashaas an event not aiteriug in any wise the Britisn policy. As Abbas Pasha will notattain his majority until July 14, tho ministers foreseo and probably have already been warned that I'rance and Russia will incite tho sultan ana wiil support his claim as suzerain to estab- lish a regency, Even six months of a regent nominated by the suitan micht destroy Brit- 1sh powor1a Kgypt and certainly would lessen British prestige, The chavacter of Abbas Pasha, which Is not yet formed, might acquire under a regent a bius hostilo to Brit- ish interests. Abbus is credited with imbib- ing Iuglish ideas and sympathies from his tutor, A. J. Butler, who was long in the kho- dive's service, and who is now a leeturer in Brazenos college, Oxford. Abbas 15 out- spoken on the Egypiian question. He recently expressed his convie that the British occupation was Abbas, with his brother, started from Vienna toduy for Trieste, whence the khedive's yacht will take thom to Egypt. The action of the British government points -to its determiation to keep a grip on the uominal ruler of Egypt. The prompt recognition of Abbas as khedive by most of the European powers has baen due to the in- staut and unhositating diplomacy of Lord Salisbury. Lord Sahsbury’s anxiety to secure a hola on tho new khedive is aue to knowledge that his predecessor was u strong povsonal factor in Europeau polifics, and not the figurehead he was eenerally supposed to he, and that the power of the new ruler, if he chooses to create trouble, is unmeasurable. Ave Sure 1t Was u Plot, The oxamination of workmen at Dublin castle with reference to tho recent explosion was without result bovond the discharge of tho suspects.

The body, duarded by an escort of soldiors and accom- punied by a few body servants, was taken from tho Helouan palace at 11 o'clock m the orning and it was conveyed by rail to Cairo. All the mmisters and members of the house- hold were awaiting at thestation the avrival of the body. When the train reached Cairo the coffin was removed from the funeral carand a procession was formed. Slowly the cortege proceeded to the Abdin palaco. The coftin was oscorted by a detachineut of military. I'rom the palace the royal procession was held to the mausoloum. Tho route was lined with British and Egyptian troops.

This anmversary has not gained its place as a festival day in the calendar cf democ- vacy by chance nor through unmeauing caprice} ror1s it observed by the democratic party merely because a battle was fought on Jaauary S, many years ago, at New Orlean Chat buttle in itself bad no _immediato polit- ical significauce, and considered solely as a military achievement in comparison with many other battles fought by Americans both before and since, it ned not be re- arded as an event domauding especial com- momoratior “The democratic zest and enthusiasm of our celebration of the day_vrows out of the fact that the battle of "New Orleans was won under the genoralship of Andrew Jacleson. So, while the successful general in that bai- tlo' is not forgotten tonight, democrats wherever they wre assembled throughout our land to celebrate the day, are honoring the hero who won the battles of democrucy and are commemorating the political courazo and steadfastness which were his prominont characteristics. [ tie He It is well thau there are oceasions 1iko this where we may manifest that love and affe tion for Andrew Jackson which have in overy democratic heart.

Thus, wherever party principlo or policy may lead 15, wo huve constantly bafore us an unquostioned example of the spivit in which our work should bo undertalien.

I'rom the time tho first blow was struck until the contest ended in his complete triumph, he allowed nothing to divert bim from his purpose, and por- mitted no other issuo to aivide his _energy or to be substituted for that on which he was intent. We have given pledges to.the peoplo and they have trusted us, Unless we have out- grown the democrutic spirit of Jackson's time, our duty is plain.

When the act was signed all contracts with agents were made void by its terms, The holders of claims were then freo to m such bargains with thoir agents as thoy | pleased, or could rofuse to mako any bargain at all The framers of the act found it necessary to take this step for the protoction of the claimants. Atthe time whon there seemed little chance that such an act would bo vassed hundreds of claimants haa contracted with agents to pay outrageous foes in caso the money could be collocted, Cases are known in which theclnimants had contracted to give upto the agents over ono-half the nount collected. Cases in which one-third was promised woero not at all ancommon. To allow these conteacts to stand would make the law not an act of justice, but an act of extortion for the benefit of the claim agents. The ciause was fnserted annulling all the contracts, good, bad and indifferent, and limitiug ‘the percentuge to ve charged by agents to 15 por cent, with an extra cont ullowanco for spacial cases, Tho ¢ onts naturally obected to this, asserting that it was boyond tho powers of congress, but the bestopinion of both houses was that contracts made to collect claims under a low that did not exist could be anuvulled in thse wanner. On tho 4th of Mareh, thoreforo, the claim ants who had signed contracts were as freo *from obligations to agents as thoso who had not. If they were satisfled witn theiragents and wished to sien a new contract within tho limit of compousution fixed by the law, it was their right, but nene of them wore under any legal obligation to do so.
