Vienna, Jan 24 — Ati explosion of fire
damp occurred today in the Fort
Schritt mine at Dux in Bohemia. Dis
patches tonight say 80 miners were
killed and scores injured.
The explosion occurred this morning
when the shifts were changing A cage
full of miners was lowered hail way
when the ground trembled, a loud rum
bling report was heard and the lowering
machinery broke. Help was sum
moned, the machinery repaired and the
cage raised. Ten of the occupants were
killed instantly by the shock; 10 euf
fered fractures from which they cannot
recover; five who had broken limbs
and internal injuries, will live. They
were half suffocated by gas rising in the
shaft and no man could live below.
An hour later the superintendent of
the mine and five miners from tbe night
shift went down in the cage. They were
unable to go more than 100 yards, hut
they found 14 dead bodies. Of the 50
men who were waiting for the cage be
low, 10 were killed and 40 partially
crnshed by falling timbers, or half suffo
cated by ioul air.
The dead bodies and the injured were
taken to the top, where the whole min
ing settlement had gathered to watch
the work of rescue. The men brought
up Baid they heard dries and groan*
from the mouth of a gallery about 300
yards from the shaft, and they believed
40 men at work in the gallery were im
prisoned by falling beams.
Another rescue party went down at
once and after three of them were car
ried back to tbe shaft unconscious, pene
trated to the entrance of the gallery.
The entrance was completely block-d
by wrecked woodwork. The rescue
party could see Beveral dead bodies on
thtvithitjii/i*."'
men iv the gallery were suffocated or
killed.
Twelve miners who worked in the ex
treme interior of the mine are also be
lieved to be dead.
Despite the apparent helplessness of
the aquation, a rescue party ie etill in
the mine, and thousands have gathered
at the pit's miuth.
Wheu the extent of the disaster be
came evident the women of the dead
men's families attempted to mob the
mine officials. The officials sent to Uux
lor police, and three companies of sol
diers are camped around the pit's
mouth tonight.

Ttlle Find* Eight of the Ac

Paris, Jan. 24 —Interest in the Pana
ma trial increases as the end comes
near. When Charleß de LeSßeps, Fon
tane and Gottu were brought in today
they asked leave to confer with their
counsel before the resumption of the
proceedings. The accused and their
counsel talked eagerly together. While
tbe consultation waß in progress E DFaI
entered and shook handa witb his leliow
defendants. He did not, however, join
in the conference.
Barboux resumed bis argument in be
half of his clients. He indicated no new
to the shareholders and the pubiic in
relation to the Panama enterprise He
did not, he said, expect to be able to
deal today with the charge of breach of
trust.
M. Barboux, continuing, said the pay
ments mad" to the preßS to obtain the
approval of tbe newspapers for the Pan
ama enterprise could not be held to con
stitute swindling The original esti
mates of all great undertakings are al
ways exceeded. As to any fault which
might be fouud with the plans adopted
f>r the canal, M. Barboux pointed" out
the conflict between the opinions of en
gineers on the Bubject. What could the
company do, he asked, in the face of
conflicting recommendations of equally
eminent engineers.? Figures showing a
profit of 6or 7 per cent on tbe invest
ment, M. Barboux continued, were the
estimates of competent men. Ferdi
nand de Lesseps had never played the
double part attributed to him. 'He had
not concealed the mistake made in the
original estimates of the coßt of the
canal. In 1884 he told the general
meeting of shareholders that G()0,000,0l)0
francs more W"uld be required to finish
the canal. His statement had been co
explicit that those who persisted
in misunderstanding it h<td only them
selves to blame.
Before the parliamentary commission
inquiry, today, testimony was adduced
in rebuttal of the statement by Stephane
that he had given Clemenceau Reinach's
list of deputies who had received bribes
M. Franqueville has finished the ex
amination of 18 persons connected with

cided that Ferdinand de Lessepe.
Charles de Leseeps, Henry Cottu.
vlarius Fontane, ex-Deputy Bans Le
Roy, ex-Deputy Garbrin, M Arton and
M, Blondin are culpable. Tbe decision

London, Jan. 24.—Tne government

to British authority, tbe khedive re
plied that be only yielded to force. Tbe
khedive has been strengthened in his at
titude by deputations from tbe provinces

"On tbe 22d day o! last December

name of Frederick J. Grant of Seattle
for envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary to Bolivia. Special
baste was ' made by the senate, which
went immediately into executive bob
aion, to confirm bim, the judiciary com
mittee having agreed not to insist on an
examination into the requirements of
the candidate. The haste made in con
firming tbe appointment wae due to the
fact that bad it been delayed Mr Grant
could not have entered upon bis dutieß
before January 4th, to which date con
gress on tbe 22d of December adjourned
Dispatches of that date said Mr. Grant
would qualify at once and proceed to
Bolivia by the way of England, where
aome matters involving the three gov
ernments must be settled as soon as
possible ".
Tbe telegram goes on to show how
t irant. instead oi going iv Bolivia, is at
Olympia, and deploreß tbe unusual
spectacle of a diplomatic minister of the

lock, and tonight talk of a new man is
frequently beard. Judge Turner prints
today over his own signa urs a long let
ter explaining his position, and in clos
ing be aaya: • I am not now in a posi
tion to end this contest with credit to
the Republican party by any personal
sacrifice. It will do the party infinitely
lees harm to continue it to the end of
the session than to submit to imoudent
corporation dictation which undertakes
to Bay to the representatives of the peo
ple whom they shall elevate to public
office. In the intereßt of the Republican
pa'ty of the elate, I accept the gauntlet
ihrown down by the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, and say to it and its
servants, agents aud employee, we will
fight this couteat to the end; win it if
you can."
The senate today unanimously passed
over the veto of Acting Governor Laugh

Proceedings."
By the Associated Press )
Sacramento, Jan. 24.—The asßemblr
committee appointed to investigate the
charges made by Assemblyman Bretz ot
Alameda against Assemblyman Kerns
of Los Angeles, reported today. Bretz,
during the vote for United States sena
tor in joint session of the legislature,
charged that the vote of Kerns, Popu
list, who voted for White, had been
bought and that Marion Cannon, Popn
list congressman from the Sixth district,
had been negotiator. The report is as
follows:
The committee beg leave to report as
follows:
That they have taken and given am
ple time to the matter of of said investi
gation to any and all persons who de
sired to be heard therein, either as to
facts or arguments.
That Thomas V. Cator appeared as
counsel for Assemblyman Bretz and no
one appeared ac counsel for any other
person; and from such consideration
and investigation we find :
That the charge made by Assembly
man Aaron Bretz aa set forth in said
resolution and which waß made in joint
assembly for tbe election of a United
States »?n»tnr in the assembly chamber
on January 18, 1893, was false and un
true in every respect.
That the charges made are groundless
and malicious, inasmuch as froru the
evidence we find no probable cause for
the utterance of tbe words used in said
joint assembly by said Aaron Bretz.
As aforesaid, we find that there waa
not the slightest evidence adduced be
fore said committee that money or cor
rupt means whatever, or that any means
other than those the most honorable
were used to procure the election of
Stephen M. TTnHe»A.Sta.t«« eea-*
We find that not the slightest taint of
corruption or wrong-doing in any re
spect attaches to either lion. Marion
Cannon or Hon. T. J. Kerns in the mat
ter of said election of said United States
Senator White.
Therefore, in view of said facts and in
view of tbe circumstances surrounding
the making of Baid charge, your com
mittee respectfully recommends that
Baid Assemblyman Aaron Bretz should
receive tbe eevereet censure of the as
sembly, and that he should be expelled
threfrom and his Beat be declared va
