NOTABLE GATHERING OF STATESMEN.
NEW YORK ) 3Iay21lrnj. . Therci
was a .notable gathering o statesmen.
a the Fifth Avenue hotel yesterday
morning ! Among them were Senator
Hale , of Maine , ex-Senator Banjunr ;
of Connecticut ; Gor. Foster , of Ohior
and Gen. Thomas Ewing. A number
of prominent politicians called u'X ] > n
them , who manifested great interest
in the issue at Albany , which formed
tho\vholejiubjectof conversation. In
conversation with Gen. Ewing , he
said : "The Conkling affair did not
make much difference in his state one
way or the other. The issue is con
fined to New York and ihe disposition
in Ohio was to let the divided-factions'
fight out their own battles here , and
hero alone. " Jn regard'to a deal itf Al
bany between ' 'half breeds" ' alid-th4
democratic members of the legislature ,
Gen.Ewing said : "He had no faith in
any such"deal. . The republicans
are not such fook as to.hand pverjhc.

THrtJ general then entered into .a gen
eral conversation on politics , and es
pecially on the coming prospects f
the democratic party. Ho feeis san
guine that the next presidential elec

from the last one. A reaction is set

from the present rupture in the

.Ho did not coincide in the opinion ex
pressed freely even in th'o republican
journals throughout the country that
Conkling would carry his "hostilities
to extremes in order to accomplish' his.
rcTcngo and'ruin his party if he'can-
not rule. It- was never-designed in
our republican system that any ono
man , or score of men , should overawe
the executive -and paralyze the func
tions of the administration. I believe
firmly that Conkling will" succumb to
the inevitable and gracefully retire.

C. Akin , government contractor for
the Missouri river , and chief of the
Peck line of steamers , arrived , last
evening , talked steamboat and expedited
'
dited business at the' rate of forty
knots an hour. The steamer Benton
arrived last evening with fifteen pas
sengers for Bismarck , and a heavy
load of freight for up the river. The
Eclipse , of the Yellowstone line , will

The steamer Sherman leaves for Bu-
ford with about 150 tons of freight.
Yesterday morning about thirty men
employed on the steamer C. K. Peck ,
refused'to go to work unless their
wages wore increased from § 35 to $50
per month , and at once assumed a re
bellious attitude , and by a system of
bulldozing attempted to make it un
pleasant for such as were willing to
acccpb-of the vacant positions. The
officers of the boat , seconded by
Colonel O'Connor , the agent of
the line , took prompt and de
cisive action in the matter , and at once
ordered the men to 'bo formally dis
charged , and the clerk to pay them .the
wages duo. City policemen Fortune
was also notified of the riotous pro
ceedings , and at once proceeded to
the landing and very effectually pro
tected the half dozen men that of
fered their-scrvices , in their right to
work for auch .wages as were offered
and they chose to accept. During the
remainder of the day no trouble was
experienced . , the new men .continuing
the work of loading the boat at the
rate of. thirty cents an hour.
SHOTS AND POTS.
Petty Still Carrying Off First
Money from the Lincoln
Shootists. *
The third day of the sport at Lin
coln began with a double bird match ,
three double birds , for § 70. Mr. J.
W. Petty killed all the birds , again
beginning the day with a victory. S.
B. Hathaway and Browning seconds
even , with Shelcnberger and Zedcr
third , and Logan fourth.
On the next match Mr. Petty missed
his first ball during the tournament.
'
It was a two in a team match , ten
balls. Messrs. Petty and Mills broke
nineteen out of twenty , Messrs. . Has-
tings'and Budd , of Des Moinea , Iowa ,
took second place , Messrs. Leider and
James third , and Messrs. Kaufmann
and Shelonberger fourth.
The day's great feature , howeverwas
a thirty yard race match from ground
traps , English rules , a fine English
setter dog retrieving the dead birds
instead of a boy. The match was
very finely contested.
Messrs. Tucker , of the Parker Gun
company , and Irwin , champion of
Kansas , next shot a match , which
ended in a tie. On shooting off Mr.
Tucker won by one.
Next on the programme was at ten
single birds , divided'in five different
prizes , amounting to about 6150. S. :
B. Hathaway won the first money.

Mine Disaster.
National Associated Prcea.
DEADWOOD , D. T. , Mav 0-f4ip. nu
At 7:30 : ' fi evening , aSjtnp fgfil ofiift'
of the Golden Terra niino'i , sixty men ,
were entering the tunnel for the ni jht ,
and when in three hundred .feet from
the mouth , the' works caved in , carry-
hig down the timbers with a tcrrifric
crash. The compression of the air
forced the rear portion of the
shift through * the tunnel as though
fired from a cannon , instantly killing
Thomas Green and seriously injuring
eight ' other t miners. Among those
known to be buried beneath the have
and probably killed aJu : James Far
ley , L. Weigan , J. Wedlock , John
Miller , Thomas P. Galvin , Angus
McLain , Jack Berry , Sack Eddy , Jo
seph Harkins and - . -McCormack.
News of the "disaster spread rapidly
and a thousand miners were soon at
the scene with picks and shovels , tand
'
at onto ibegan the task of digging'otit
their comrades. After hours of work
they were able to converse with James
Farley , who Said he was pinioned by
timbers and rocks , and exclaimed ,
"For God's sake , boys , hurry ; I
can't stand it much longer. " He
probably died soon after as no respons
es could be heard to the calls of the.
workmen. No bodies had been extri
cated up to an early hour this morn
ing , but the work is bcing prosecuted
vigorously and will be kept up until ,
the bodies are recovered. . The vicin
ity of tho- mine ia crowdcd with grief
stricken relatives and friends of the
imprisoned minors.
The Goldeh Terra mine is . owned
by the Homestako Company , and is
considered the best in tlie hills. The
point . .of the catastrophe is what is
knowtfta "Disputed ground , " between
the Cosher and Terra companies , 6'
secure posesslon of which both com
panies have been working with undue1
haste , timbering in a careless manner.
The chamber was 50 feet high , 200
feet long , and 100 feet wide. A. per
fect mountain of or < 5 and dirt , prob
ably 100 feet deep fell into-- and filled
this space. * - .

Tunneling the St. Lawrence.
Walter Shanleythe eminent tunnel
engineer , completed his report re
cently as to the feasibility of con
structing a railway tunnel under the
St. Lawrence river between Longrenll
and Hochelaga , and has dispatched it
to the governor in council and th6 rail
ways interested in the project. The
Times correspondent was permitted to
make the following summary : The
character of the- rock at a depth of
fifty-six-feet was found to , bo Utica
shale , lying in horizontal "deposits ,
which reduced by a largo percentage
the chances of meeting with fissures or
faults in the rock. The presence of
rock limestone , which was dreaded ,
was not discovered in any part of the
survey. Having to go much lower to
reach , the rocjc , the grades of
the track will bo heavier than
anticipated on the north shore ,
where the dip of the rock is low , the
water in the river comparatively deep ,
and the present track close to the
shore. The grade will be one hundred
and five feet to the mile. On the op
posite shore , where the conditions are
more favorable , it will bo eighty-five
feet to the mile. Attention is called
to the fact that as heavy traffic will
go principally toward the south the
steepness on the north shore will not
be' particularly objectionable. Eike
gradients are to bo found elsewhere ,
and even steeper ones are in existence ,
over which heavy traffic ia successfully
carried on. Two routes have been
surveyed. The cost of No 1 is esti
mated at $3,800,000 , and of No. 2 ,
$1,100,000 , ( These eatimates provide.
for the'ni'ghedt ' character of the work ,
nnfl ample allowances are made .for
contingencies. * , Koj. 1 .roilte will lie
selected , and" ft 'is Ccntcmplateo
'make a considerable reduction in. its
estimated cost by betf er alignment of
the approach 'to'tho north shore. The
tunnel _ , -will 'bo 'twenty-six feet
wide , and , twenty-three feet
high. givingample - room 'for double
* '
radks./ With 6rdinary' 'favorable'
cujcu'mstancea , the tunnel can bo corn-
plcfod 'within three Bara. * There are

Intornationiilj iand 'the intercolonial
with .Pall their connectionsand.'other
rofida as well.It . ia shown that allpf
these rends , throwing their influence
in favor of trafljo by the tunnel , will
cause an immense volume , of. trade " -to
pass through it. , If.the cost " "put at
§ 400,000 , anannnal"dividcnd of ? per
cent , would amount to § 28,000.Tho
tariff , will , of course , depend entirely
, upon. the number of cars -.passing
'through. Tw6 hundred and fifty cars
at gC each , five hundred at S3 , or ono
thousand at § L50r would yield 1,500
per day.f Three hundred and thirtce'n
working ( liys in the year would thus
give an annual revenue of § 469,500 or
7 percent , on a capital of $4,000,000.
The promoters of the 'project have
made arrangements in Now York for
getting all the moneyffor the work.
A Handsome [ Offer. .
The-programme this year for Deco
ration day cannot'be very elaborate ,
owing to a lack of funds. Much , no
doubt , will be done by prjvatc effort ,
and a proposition has bocn made
which should by all means bo assisted
to final accomplishment. It is to
paint a largo- banner , picturing a
Union soldier decorating the grave
pi a. confederate , with an allegorical
representation in the back ground of
the blue and gray joining hands.
"Mr. Herbert G. Conner , the artist ,
has. kindly consented to do the work
without chargp , , which is equal to a
contribution of one hundred dollars.
'All thht is wanted.is the canvass and
frame' wprk , which would cost less
than twenty-five VIollars. It is pro
posed to rest jthe banner * and
frame on bars , the whole * , to bo
carried by four uniformed men.
This banner would be a great feature'
in the prpcession , and it " would bo
emblimatic of that feeling between thp
north and south which' grows stronger
and stronger wjth time. .
1 Possibly the matter may bo accom
plished with one subscription , should ,
some such kind-hearted , citizen turn
up , but surely there will bo.-somd ono
to interest himself and collect the
amount from his friends. " * *
