Immediately following the sound
of the explosion , a llnmu oE tire
arose above thu month of the shaft
and timber and debris of all kinds was
Htrown around. Great excitement ensued ,
and crowds of people bun led to the scene.
The shaft in which the explosion occurred
Wna sunk about two years ago , , ami has
reached a depth of ilVHccl fionf the basoof
the shaft. The main heading run's out about
half a mlle fani where the narrow rooms di
verge from cither sl'i.lc. The theory
advanced as to the cause ot" the explosion is
that fire .dump had accumulated in on'o of
thcMi rooms and was accidentally lighted by a
miner's , lamp , but nothliig positive has yet
been learned.
The force of 11(0 ( explosion blocked the air'

Mr/rnotT , Mich. , Jan. 21. [ Special Tele
gram. ] Intense Indignation has been
arpused aihong citizens of 'the eastern portion
tion of , the clty-by the revelation of a dastardly -
tardly attempt at wholesale poisoning In Ihe
family of Mrs. ( Urardln , the widow o a pa
trolman'formerly on tho. Detroit force. In
lior.fninily nro seven children , grandmother ,
and two doirfestlcs. Mrs. Glrardln has a
friend In an Interior town' .of the stale , who
has several times separated from her hus
band because ol cruel treatment , and at such
times sha has lived for weeks at a'tlmo with
Mrs. ( ilrardin until she becamO reconciled
wl.lli her husband. This man has
been very angry with Lira. Glrardin for
sheltering his wife , and several times has mis
treated her. A couple of weeks ago slio re
ceived a letter Irom her friend , who was
again living at home , saying slio had .shipped
iv'present of fruit. It did not come'and
nothing was heard from' It until Saturday ,
wlien a box arrived containing two cans of
strawberries and two of whortleberries.
Sunday oho of the cans was opened for the
family dinner. The colored servant , Hattie
. White , In preparing the Banco tasted it , and
was soon taken violently sick. She was
saved by emetics. The can was examined
and largo quantities of a white substance
were found , which proved on an analysis to
ji ! ursonlc. The police were Informed , but
' liec'ted that the matter bo kept quiet pend
ing Investigation. The story has just leaked
i nut and It Is also learned that the husband of
Mrs. Glrardln's friend is in tlio shoo business ,
and the box In which the cans wcro packed.Is
ti bhou box. A letter was received from the
woman from Hay City to-day , saying she has
been obliged to leave homo again. The
theory held Is that her husband kept the box
back until his wife had loft homo und thinking -
ing she had come here shipped it on , with
the Intention of doing a wholesale job of
poisoning.

WASHI.VOTOX , .Ian. 21. [ Special Tele
gram. 1 The complication of the Iowa pen
sion agency light grows deeper as the time
for making n change approaches. A few
hiy. ago , the only contestants whoso claims
appeared to have any weight were Merrill
and Klnne , and the Indications were that
Merrill would win because of his soldier
record. It appears now , however , that the
democratic members of the delegation are
divided and all torn up over the' matter , and
while they appear calm on thcsurface there Is
an undercurrent of ill feeling among them
which iiay | break out into open hostilities at
any time. Captain Ulake ofIowa
county shows signs of growing strength , and
as far as the delegation Is concerned the fight
would seem to bo between Blake , Merrill and
Rhine. ' Hat political moves do not always
appear on the surface , which accounts for the
fact that there is another factor in the con
troversy which some of the democrats of the
delegation have no desire lo countenance.
Weaver has a candidate , of his own , and Is
doing some-very earnest woflcln his behalf.
Th Is man Is Weaver's business .partner , C5I1-
lett , and Weaver Is .extremely anx
ious to . place , him in some posi
tion . where he can secure n firm
hold .upon the national udder. He will make
( illicit pension agent. If not" he , ' ho will
becontented with the DesMolnes postofilcc.
In addition to the candidates named abox'c ,
Dr. McCoy ot Algona , who was In the-nriny ,
Is making a strong llglit for the agency , lie
is backed by popular sentiment to some ex
tent , but is likely 1o lose , as he is not sup
ported by any member of congress or leading
ringmaster of the democratic party of Iowa.
The point of agreement , of the democratic
parly Is now more remote than ever , and
Jerry Murphy Is not as happy as he was.

members of the house , spoke out to-day to n

that convinced him that the silver side of the
question was the right side. "I predict to
you now , " ho said , "that . no

pass cither branch of congress.
A bill to suspend coinage would bo beaten
in the house by a" majority of a hundred.
This war upon silver Is an outrage. You can
not express my opposition to It lee strongly.
The treasury officials arc responsible for

shall bring the. 'matter before the

"You can say one thing with perfect

that Is that no legislation looking to suspen

stration of that metal , will pass this congress.
There arc a coed many efforts being made
in that direction ami the dose Is being ottered
in a good many different forms. Hut yon
may depend upon It , nothing looking In that

LOXDO.V , Jan. SI , The weather to-dny was

the streets were coveted with snow and
slush. 1'romptly at'lDO : thcioyal party lelt

The route of the roval pageant liad been cov
ered with gravel. Thh prevented the horses
from falling and enabled morn progress to bo
nmde. Her majesty lode In an open carriage
drawn by eight horses. The household cav
alry acted us cscoit to the queen. Largo
crowds lined the streets through which the
loyal procession passed , anil her majesty was
greeted with hearty cheers all along tlio
ionic. The scene In the house ot lords was
very brilliant , Peers and peeress , judges ,
ministers and bishops were present in large
numbers In full court dress. Gas light was used
In the chamber owing to the absence of-.tlm
sun. This enhanced the beauty of the scene
as It showed more fully the brilliancy of thu'
jewelry and splendor of ; the dresses worn by
those present. The queen ljoled ( as if she
were , suffcrlng'from a.cold.
Her majesty , in a speech , said her .relations
with other powers continue friendly. . The
differences with llussla regarding the
Afghanistan bpundary had been satisfac
torily'adjusted. She trusts" the work of thu
Uusso-Kngllsh frontier demarcation commis

to secure continuance of peace in Central
Asia" , Referring to' tlio rising In eastern
Rouniella , her majesty says : Her object lit
the negotiations which followed tlio outbreak
had been to bring the inhabitants of that
country according' to 'their wish , under the
prince of Bulgaria's nde , whilp maintain
ing unimpaired the essential rights of the
sultan. Tin ? queen regicts the has been
compelled to declare war. against King The-
baw , of Buriuali , owing to acts of hostility by
himself and his subjects. The- gallantry of
ihe forces under General Pondergast had
rapidly overthrown the lluriuesp forces , and.
she decided the. Most certain method of insuring
"
suring ' peace ' was to be found
in the permanent incorporation ot Burmah
with her empire. Negotiations respecting
the right's-of the French on the coast of New
foundland had been satisfactorily Concluded.
With Spain also an ngicement- had been
reached giving the British the same commer
cial rights as Germans in the Caroline Isl

CIIICAOO , Jan. 21. [ Special Telegram. ]
Patrick Kgan was Interviewed this afternoon
regarding that portion of the queen's speech
which touches upon the Irish question.
"Pronouncements of that kind , " ho said ,
"mean nothing. It Is always Ilia rule in
royal speeches to ntlll/.o language that will
conceal ideas rather than express them. Her
majesty says nothing now.'o \ all know of
her dislike to homo rtilo movements. The
situation Is such that no matter what him
may say , parliament will bo compelled to
deal with the home nile question and grant
it to Ireland. Her reference to coercion IH
also vague , and will not lead to any material
results In Ireland. From experience wo
know that pronouncements of that kind pre
cede surrender. We know that this , our
national mo vein out , holds the key of the
position and wo are all quite confident as to
the result. "
"Under the menace , " said John Finerty ,
after ho read the queen's speech , "tho Irish
people must make up their minds to meet tlio
crisis with the courage displayed by tlio
American colonists In dealing with the
queen's grandfather , George III. The queen
of England has a personal grudge against
Ireland , because Dublin refused a' Mtu for a
statue of her husband , who onco' said of the
Irish that they ought to live on grass , and deserved -
served no more sympathy than the Poles.
The speech seals the fate of the Salisbury
ministry ; and then should Gladstone on re
turning' to power refuse to meet the Irish
demand in spirit , no reocuroe will bo
l ! L.t ? Ire'au ' ( * to obtain her rights
but to resort to first principles. In
other words , she-will be compelled to make
the physical sacrifice's that have been made
by all other people similarly circumstanced ,
What hui-methods will bo is simply a ques
tion of national resouices , If eho cannot
meet England inside the rules of war , the
will have to meet her outside of those rules ,
and she cannot bo blamed if the Increasing
brutality of Kngland forces her to adopt a
system o ( warfare not laid down in Englbh
military text boobs , but which are neverthe
less always practiced by English armies when
they Invade the domains of. weak antago
nists. " -
Th6 Speech lit the House of
Loxnox , Jan. 91. In the liouso of lords
thoUukoof Abercorn moved the address In
reply to the speech from the throne. Ho
spoke of the grave icsponsibllltles of those
who directed the affairs of the government ,
and said that one cloud was hanging over the
empire , and that was the state of Ireland.
He mentioned a number of duties which
ho said the government must per
form In relation to that country ,
among which were the maintenance of
the union , the suppression of * persecutions
of which ho s.itd the national league was
gullly and 'a defense oMliu loyal Irish mi
nority. lie said no statesman , whatever he
might bo , would sacrifice tlio interests of the
country , The Marl of Scarborough seconded
the motion ot the Duke of Abercon.
Earl Granvlllo congratulated Lord Sails-
bury , prime minister , on his possession ot
two such eloquent suppoiters.
In the lumsQof commons the nationalist
member for Langford gave ilotico ho would
ask leave to Introduce 'a bill to amend the
Iilshlaud act. The announcement was re
ceived by loud cheers from the homo ittle
lliejIlbei'S.

would be hotter to await the arrival of papers
from Lord'Dulferln before-making any Mate-

ternational laws. On this point ho said ho
lelt strongly , beeaiiM ! it had been reported hu
had given eneournt.'omi'iit to Greece. This
.stiitement he iMuplmtlrullv denounced as mi-
tine , and declared Knulnntl 'above all

to Ireland , the premier cald the government
had retrained fiom i enow Ing the crimes act ,
because there had been a * prospect of a re
turning condition of order in tliat country.
The experiment , 'however , luul failed ,
although every chauro had been given to
make it Miceerd. Nothing , , ho s.ud , could
exceed the patience of Urn Tiarl of Carnarvon
carrying out his mission of peace"
The disease , said Lord Salisbury , existed In
Westminster and not In liclaml , and the
government must try and stamp 11 out here.
ThO words of Gladstone , , ho declared , were
answernblo for many of thu Irish evils.

Gladstone Speaks ] | | H Piece.
LONDON , Jan. 21. Jn the .house of com
mons Gladstone said the conduct of Lord
Salisbury in the Roumcliaif mutter was an
honor to him and worthy of his name , and
was a credit to Kngland. The opposition
would lender Lo.r'd Salisbury every assistance
and grant him every indulgence in con
nection with the ' settlement of the Iiottnio-
lian an'd Burmese questions. In re-
gaid to Ireland Gladstone said
lie wished tlio queen's speech had
been more explicit. Ho 'was convinced
only a gentle and conciliatory handling of the
Irish question would be etl'cutuiil. He had
always striven to eliminate the elements of
wrath and passion in discussing Ireland.
The exercise of candor and justice would
alone alforU tliu smallest hope ot solving the
dllllciilty. "Whatever , " lie continued , "It
may bo'iiccessrary.to do-for Ireland should be
done promptly. 'In the name of heaven let us
nuijntain nip1 union. We luivo bisen main--
tnlninglt for cisl'ty'-llvn ' .yos. , six hundred *
years.'Let us not deviate from .the path
'of .good u temper 'and self cntntiunul ,
but forgetful. of. e.vcry prejudice Jet us strive
to do justice to tlie great- , the gigantic in-
tcioMs committed to our charge. " [ Loud
cheers. . ]
Gladstone spoke for an hour and twenty
minutes , and was greatly applauded llirougli-
.out. . Sir Mlchnc ! Hicks Beach , chancellor
of the exchequer , thanked Gladstone for his
kindly woids. ' He Challenged tlm opposition
to come to a decision in regard to their
attitude toward the unity of the empire. If
they disagreed with the government , let
them move an amendment to
tlii ) addicss in reply to the queen's
speech. If they agreed with the government
they should declare so. If the majority ot
the house so wished , Ihn present government
would 'remain in ollice. Hu humbly and
earnestly uskcd all tin ) members , of what
ever paity they belonged to , to support the
government Jn order lo enable it to conduct
tlm affairs ot the country. [ Cheers. I
The debate left the impression that both
rartles.aie anxious to conclliato tlie I'arnell-
Jtcs , and have-up desire to enforce- strong
coercive measures. At the same time it is
believed thoru Is no cliaucu , of either.the con
servatives or liberals pr.bposlng a I' this Mission
any homo rule measures likely tosatisl'y the
Irish. The ten&r of Parnell's utterances gave
evidence ol rc.tpproachiiicnl. with Gladstone
and of an abandonment of the hope of an
alliance with ( lit ! conservatives , it Is ex
pected Ihn debate will continue nil next week. .

ner.The trade dollar has a ludicrous history ,

down Its maiket value , and bought It In at
about scvenly-elglil cents , lo the loss ot the

*
Una , who has introduced a bill tojfhisenccr ,
jinvH that the Internal revenue system was
only originated for the purpose of carrying
on the war bet ween the sliiles ; that tho.sur-
plus in 'tho national treasury shows
that the internal revenues are no
lougor needed for thu purpose
of sustaining tho' government and paying Its
debts ; that the duties on 'Imports , 11' fairly ad
justed , will rafso all the revenue needed to
support'the government , and will at the same-
'
time afford' legitimate incidental' protection
to American industries ? tluit the internal
revenue laws are contrary to the genius nnd
spirit of our government , expensive In their
enforcement , und oppressive in their opera
tions.
This is about Ihn. line of argument gcnci'-
ully advanced by those opposed to internal
revenue. Jiut.tbero is 'not the slightest dan-
