UNGLE SAM HOLDS THE KEY OF FATE The attitude or America now will settle the fate of Corea politically and as an inde pendent power. Bear Admiral Shnfeldt says so. Blaine might, by a few words, prevent a Chinese cobble ot the kingdom. It is doubtful whether he will. There is some very interesting gossip and informa tion in this connection, bearing upon Corea's treasury and resources. "Washington, January 10. Copyright The little kingdom of Corea is in greater danger than ever of being swallowed up by China. It is now said that the kingdom is practically insolvent, and that the King, tired of the plottings which surround his throne, and disgusted with the emptiness of his treasury, has resolved' to abdicate in favor of Prince Min Yon Ik, and that Dr. Allen, the American Secretary of the Corean Legation at "Washington, is now at Horjg Kong in conference with this Prince at the instance of the King. The present King is tired of his fight with Li Hung Chang, the viceroy of China. For the past four or five years China has been plotting through its agents at the Corean court and otherwise to make Corea a province of China. She already controls its customs revenues, and all of the duties of the ports are collected by Chinese cus toms officers under the control of Sir Bobert Hart, the head of the Foreign Customs or China. All of the money which the King gets from such sources thus passes through the hands of the Chinese, and China knews to a cent just what the country is worth. TAXES DOX'TTIELD ENOUGH. There is a sort of system of taxation in Corea; but little is known about it, and where the King's revenue comes from is un certain. That the funds of his treasury are very low is well known, and the fact that he has not been able to pay the American officers, whom he employed to reorganize the Corean army, has been made the subject of complaint from Secretary Blaine. The Corean Legation here has steadily fallen off in numbers, and it is rumored that it is not long before it will be wiped out entirely. It is now only about eight years since Corea was first opened to the world by the United States. Bear Admiral Shnfeldt made the first in dependent treaty with Corea, and he was sent from the United States to China to ac complish this end. He spent some time at Peking as a naval attache of the legation, and then, taking a ship, he sailed to Corea, and on June 14, 1882, consummated the treaty at Chemulpo in the very house which is now occupied by Mr. Schonicke, the Chinese customs officer. A CLOSE FRIEND OP THE KING. Admiral Shnfeldt is a great friend of the present King of Corea. He has lived for some time in tne iorean c.pitai, and he knows perhaps as much about Corea and its affairs as any English-speaking man in the world. He has just returned from Japan to the United States, and I called upon him at his residence last night and asked him as to the future of the country. He said- "The future of Corea as an independent country hangs upon the United States, as China has nothing to fear from the inter ference of either Germany, Prance or En gland. These conntries are already tied up in their business interests with China. Prance has a $3,000,000 contract to bnild an arsenal at Fort Arthur. England is indebted to China for its release of its I sovereignty over Burmab, and it has large business interests in every Chinese port. The Germans are trying to make business deals with the Chinese, and they are cul tivating them. Italy has few interests in the far East, and the only other nations are Bussia, Japan and the United States. I BUSSIA AND UNCLE SAM MIGHT. I "Bussia already has an independent I treaty with Corea, and she might object I to its being swallowed up by China, though I hardly think she will. Japan is so much interested in pushing herself to the front as a modern civilized power that she does not want to enter into war with the Chi nese. The only nation left is our own. "So far as 1 have seen, however, the State Department docs not appear to be bothering itsell about Eastern questions, and it looks as though the United States would lose the chance she has now to make herself felt in the far East, and to make a connection with Corea which might be invaluable to her 20 Tears from now. "We lose every year by failing to protect and push our interests abroad. It was through Commodore Perry and the United States that Japan was opened to the world, and had we pushed our trade and taken advantage of the situa tions presented to us we might control tne trade of Japan to-day. As it is, the Ger mans, the French and English get all the big contracts given out by the Japanese Government, and America gets nothing but compliments. These countries control its foreign trade, and the immense imports which we get from Japan come in foreign vessels." THE CHEEK OF CHINA. "Do you think that China has any right to claim Corea as one of its tributary prov inces?" "I do not," said Admiral Shnfeldt. "The United States, Bussia and Japan have re cognized Corea as an independent kingdom, and whenever Corea has gotten into trouble in the past, the Chinese have washed their hands of its affairs and told other nations that they had nothing to do with it. Tnis ws to at the time ot the massacre of the French missionaries inlSGG. The Chinese then said Corea was free and that it must fettle its own troubles. It was the same in regard to the General Sherman affair with us, but when I made the treaty with Corea, the Chinese wanted me to make it out to tl-em as an independent Government of China. I refused to do this, and Corea was acknowledged by us as an independent power. It would be so acknowledged by the whole world to-day, if America demanded it. ONLY A SIMPLE SAT SO. 'It would take no fichting, but merely the assertion that we had recognized their independence and proposed that the recog nition should be respected. The Chinese vould not dare to insist upon their demands. They are not a fighting nation, and are not a naval one. They have some good war ships; but, as soon as a gun was fired at any of their ships, all of their naval officers and sailors would run ashore." "How about the present King of Corea? "Where do his revenues come from?" "No one seems to know where they come from," said Admiral Shufeldt, "There ii a sort of system of taxation in the country, aud some of the taxes are paid in kind and eoine in copper cash. The King himself has immense private estate?, and I doubt not that he has a lot or money in the palace. Corea has great possibilities, both agricul turally and minerally, and the gold output ot the country is great. The gold mines, be long to the King, and I remember once when going from Gensan, the western port of the country, around to Fusaw, that we carried $20,000 in sold dust. A GOLD DUST SKEASUBY. "The King's treasury in the palace, in all probability, contains a great amount of gold dust, and there is no doubt but that he will have enongh to live on, whether he abdi cate or not. As to the distribution of the revenue, I am not certain according to what principle it is divided; but the supplies of the Foreign Office seem to have oeen de cidedly low, and there has been some com plaint about the payment of our officers. I do not doubt but that the King intended to have paid his debts promptly; but Ameri cans are not accomstomed to the slow meth-, ods of the East, and those of the officers who were coming home were very much dis gusted by not receiving their salaries on everv par dav. I understand that the Coreans are very fond of General Dye, and 1 that they will keep him. "I hope that the United States will stand np for the independence of Corea, though I hardly expect to see the State Department do so." Fbank G. Caepentee; A BATTLE0F GIANTS.

The main struggle over the location of the "World's Fair will be inaugurated to-morrow, when the two giants in the contest, Chicago and New York, will measure swords before the Senate committee. The New York Fair Committee has come down here in force. Nearly a hundred of them, prominent busi ness men and politicians, headed by Mayor Grant, ex-Mayor Hewitt, ex-Secretary "Whit ney, Chauncey M. Depew, and Cornelius Vanderbilt, arrived to-night, and have taken quarters at the Arlington Hotel. To-morrow evening Congressmen Belden and Flower will tender them a reception. ' The speakers on behalf of New York be fore the Senate Committee will be the gen tlemen named above, while Senators Far well and Cullom, Bepresentati ves Mason anjl Taylor, Mayor Cregier and Mr. Cragin, the general manager of the Chicago Fair Com mittee, will represent the interests or the "Windy City. There being no session of the Senate, the whole day will be devoted to the hearing ot the claims of the two rival cities. The New York men have already scored one point over Chicago in the House. All the World's Fair bills that have been in troduced in that body were referred by the Speaker to the Committee on Foreign Af fairs, of which Mr. Hitt, an Illinois man, is chairman. The New Yorkers were quick to see the possible advantange which might accrne to Chicago from this arrangement, and have been making a bard fight to have a special committee appointed to consider the matter. To-day they received a definite promise that this should be done. The com mittee will be composed of nine members, each of the four cities being represented by two members, the ninth being unpledged. ALLEGHENY'S POBhlC BUILDING. The BUI for it to be Reported Favorably to Concress. , "Washington, January 10. An im portant recommendation wasagteed upon by the Senate Committee on Public Buildings aud Grounds to-day. It was decided to re port to the Senate a bill for the condemna tion and purchase of the two squares of ground directly north of the site of the Con gressional Library and east of the Capitol grounds, upon which to erect a suitable building for the Supreme Com J. The com mittee also deciaed to recommend the pas sage of the bill aonrooriatin? 50.000 for the erection of a statue of Columbus, to be un veiled in 1892. It is to stand where the Peace Monument is no located, atthe foot of Capitol Hill, on Pennsylvania avenue, the monument to be transferred to a location yet to be selected. The committee also decided to report fa vorably the bills authorizing the purchase of sites for or construction of public build ings in the following cities: Allegheny City, Pa., $250,000; Beaver Falls, Pa., $30, 000; St. Paul, Minn., $1,600,000; Sionx City, la., $500,000; Grand Bapids, la., $200,000; Kansas Citv, $2,000,000 (a reduction of $500,000); Milwaukee, $2,000,000 (an in crease Jrom $1,200,000); San Francisco, $800, 000; San Diego and Oakland, $100,000 each. SUPPED SOMLONE'S MIND. Secretary Wlndom Says No One lias Talked Snrveyorahlp to Him. rrnoji a staxt coereepondekt.i Washingtoh; January 10. "Windom said to-day that the papers, in the matter of the Pittsburg surveyorship,would be taken to the President to-morrow, but he couldn't say the subject wonld be reached. He had a number of important matters to present to the President, and possibly the consideration of the Pittsburg contest might have to be deferred. Bepresentative Dalzell visited the Secretary this afternoon, and presented the claims ot Case at length. The Secretary listened with apparent interest, and "was very pleasant, as he always is, but did not indicate his feeling in the matter. Mr. "Windom said that no one had pre-' viously offered to talk of the snrveyorship contest, which was rather curious, in view ot the iniormation given by Bepresentative Bayne to the correspondent of The DIS PATCH "Wednesday evening, that he had that day called on the Secretary, and con versed with him in regard fo the successor of Surveyor Barr. Possibly, in the rush of business, the Secretary had .forgotten the occurrence. POSTPONED FOR A MONTH. - One Weil Virginia Contestant Who Wasn't Quite Bendy Washington, January 10. The House Committee on Elections this morning took up another "West Virginia contested election case McQinnis vs. Alderson and heard some arguments by General St. Clair for the contestee. It appeared, however, that the contestant's brief covered only his prima facie case, so that the committee granted him 15 days to file a complete brief, and then gave the sitting member a like space of time to pre pare his answer, thus postponing the further hearing 30 days. TROTTER HAS TO TROT OUT. The President Calls for His Resignation and Gets It. "Washington, January 10. The resig nation of Mr. Trotter, the colored Recorder of Deeds for the District, has been received at the "White House, upon a request made by the President It is supposed a new ap pointment will be made shortly. An inquiry made by Senator Ingalls has developed the fact tbat the office has paid (10,000 in fees during Mr. Trotter's incum bency of two years and ten months. A bill is pending in'Congress to make the posi tion a salaried one. WHERE C. 0. D. GOODS ARE SOLD. The Commissioner of loternal Keveaae De cides as Did the Supreme Coart. "Washington, January 10. The Com missioner of Internal Bevenue, by a recent decision, reversed the ruling heretofore made and held by former commissioners on the O. O. D. subject. The following extract is made from his decision: 1 am of the opinion that when a person makes a bona fide offer to pnrchase goods, .and di rects in the same order that the goods shall be sent by a common carrier, or anyone else, to a place designated by him, the price R be paid at the place of delivery, and the order is accepted by the seller, and the goods are separated from the other goods of the seller, as the goods ot the purchaser, and are delivered to the carrier with Instructions to. deliver to the purchaser at the place named by .him and collect the pur chase money at that place, that the place of sale, under law of Congress imposing a special tax upon wholesale dealers, is at the polat at which the goods are ordered, and set apart, and delivered to the carrier. The, true test is, was the offer od the pan of the purchasers bona fldo one to boy, and was it so accepted by the seller? If the putcbaser should decline to receive the goods and pay for them, could the seller maintain an action for the price thereof T Any other rule, it seems to me, would be doing great violence to the acts of Congress Imposing these taxes. THE NEW COKE SCALE. Operator Believe the K. of In Wont to Break the Agreement To Get a New Scale Figuring- on the Prices. Superintendent Lynch yesterday stated that not five per cent ot the men in the re gion understood the meaning of the scale just presented and he did not believe that the Scale Committee themselves had gone into the figures to ascertain what the ad vance would'be or they would not have pre sented it. He said the Scale Committee generally are able and fair men and when they were shown how impracticable the scale was that? they wonld drop it. He did not think that there would be any trouble between the representatives of the men and the operators. ' Superintendent Lynch objects to the in terpretation placed by the K. of L. on the agreement, and thinks that their object is to violate the old agreement with the view of getting a new one. He says that during the 18 months his firm had a sliding scale with the men their received about 20 per cent more wages than their fellows at other mines. Subsequently, another agreement was made, and broken. Finally, another agreement was brought about by the in fluence of the Frick Coke Company. Now it is claimed by the operators that the K. of L. people have served notice on them to terminate the agreement in direct- violation of its terms. They give the men credit for being honest in their intentions, and think it strange that the men did not accept the proposition to submit it for construction to any judge in "Western Pennsylvania. A schedule is being prepared showing first, the rate of wages paid at present: sec ond, the rate this proposed new scale on $1 50 coke and on $1 75 coke; also showing the rates paid under the old Frick scale on $1 50 coke and $1 75 coke. The rates paid under the old Frick scale were higher all the time than were paid by the rest of operators. There will be at least 30 differ ent rates for mining in the majority of the mines, and in no mine less than 15. Men in the same mine doing the same work will be paid different rate. "While it is claimed the wages are based on the selling price of coke, yet the wages to be paid under the new scale to the men working in Leisenring No. 2 shaft will be 5 per cent less than the wages to be paid to the men tor doing similar work at Leisenring No. 1 and Trotter shafts. A TERRIFIC SCARE. Awful Explosion In a Building Where Nearly 500 People Were Employed Only One Person Falally Injured ' Dlnny Others Scalded. STZCIAI. TELEOBJLM TO TUB DISPATCH.! Chicago, January 10. An explosion followed by a cloud ot steam and smoke that rolled above the big Montauk block, on Monroe between Clark and Dearborn streets, startled thousands of people at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Almost at tbe same moment a hundred white faces appeared at the shattered windows of the big five-story bnilding of the John Morris Stationery Company, at 118 and 120 Monroe street. The 200 horsepower boiler in the basement of the building had burst. The shock in Monroe street was terrific. The g ouud trembled, and some of the big buildings were shaken as though by an earthquake. Only one man was directly in front of the building when the shock came. He was George Frickson, of Cicero. The glass cut him in the neck and face. The concussion broke the rear windows of the Clark street buildings abutting on the blind alley, and shattered the great plate glass fronts on Clark street. Adams street build ings abutting on the alley looked as though they had been bombarded by small ordnance. A panic seized the people in the streets near the scene of the explosion. "While the confusion was at its height a voting man, bleeding from a cut in the cheek, staggered out of the door leading to the Monroe street stairway of the Morris building. He was followed by 350 girls and boys, who had raced from the upper floors the instant they recovered from the shock. Fire and police alarms were sent out, and it was not long before engines and patrol wagons were forcing their way through the crow .. Ladders were quicklyraised to the windows, and firemen scrambled throuzh the broken sashes with their hose. The fire, however, was all in the basement and the first floor. It was soon, put ouc Thirteen people were injured more or less seriously. One, George Burgess, whose skull was fractured, will die.

BT DTOLAP'S CABLE COMPANTr.3 London, January 10. Parnell's letter to the Board of Guardians of Ennis, County Clare, Ireland, has been stolen by some parties unknown since the Bead Board meeting on "Wednesday last, and great ex citement prevails in consequence of the theft. At the Quarter Sessions to-day, Judge Kelly positively refused to receive the reso lution of the grand jury, worded thus: ""We, the grand jurors of the general Quarter Sessions, held at Ennis, unanimously ex press our undoubted confidence in Mr. Par nell, one of the foremost advo cates of Ireland's best interests, and the illustrious leader of Irish people." The Judge's refusal has caused great sur prise and dissatisfaction among the Nation alists, and corresponding exultation in the "Unionist party, which, however, is in the minority. After all the threatening trouble between England and Portugal, the question now as sumes a more friendly aspect; the Countess DeParis,motheroftbe young Queen of Portu gal, having interceded with Queen Victoria and the influence of the crown having been brought to bear on the side of a peaceful settlement of the African dispute. The British Government refuses, how ever, to withdraw the order issued to the East African Naval Squadron uutil re liable advices are received from the con sular officials confirming the evacuation of the forts in the disputed territory by the Portuguese.

THE LOYE OF 'PEACE. Minister Phelps Speaks of This Prominent Trait In the Ex-Empress Charac terHer Last Talk With Blm on tbe Subject. Beeltn, January 10. Me. Phelps, the United States Minister, made an address be fore the Anglo-American Society here, in which he praised the patient pursuit of duty tbat characterized the German race in every rank from prince to peasant. Hedwelt npon this trait as revealed by the Empress Augusta in the last audience he had with her. The labor of the audience was then evidently beyond her strength, but she assumed it because it was part ot a sovereign's dnty. "One thing," he said, "that struck me on that occasion, was that every topic seemed to lead her unconsciously to the same sub ject of the love of peace which appeared to strangely occupy and fill her mind. "Whether speaking of America'1 mate rial and moral growth, or of Frauce and the exhibition, she always reverted to peace. Detecting a gleam ot merriment on my face at this, she, in a winning, half pettish tone, reproached me, and adding, 'think what I know of war,' and mnrmuriug something of which only the words 'father and son' were audi ble, she dismissed me, with the earnest in junction to promote peace between Germany and America." Mr. Phelps conclnded: "The wires have told tbe story ot her death in every capital, and the echo returns an expression of uni versal sorrow, not for the consort of the Prince and King and Emperor, but for the good woman dead." It is announced to-dav tbat the funeral ceremonies of the Empress will be identical with those of tbe late Emperor. SATISFACTORY TO ENGLAND.

The Younger members of tbo Southern So clety Condemn Their Late Tlce Pre.I- dent No War Issues In the Dnvls Resolutions. rsnCIAI. TELEOBAM TO TBE DI8FATCH. Net? Yoek, January 10. A great many of tbe members of the Southern Society, particularly the yonnger ones, talk very bit terly against Vice President St. John, who resigned from the society because of the Jef ferson Davis memorial. There was a large attendance at the clubhouse last night and to-night. Some of the angry young men said that Mr. St John ought not to be al lowed to resign, bnt that he should be ex pelled. Several members declared that they would sign a recommendation to the Execu tive Committee that this course be pursued. One man said: St. John won't be much loss to us. He was always in the way, objecting to everything. Why. he did not even want us to maintain a clubhouse. We ought not to be sorry that he has resigned, but that he should rush off Into print about it and spread himself in tbe news papers before tbe Secretary of the club re ceived his letter of resignation. Tbe Davis resolutions were entirely proper. There is no disloyal feeling in this society. The war and Its issues are dead aud buried. There are many Republican members of this society, and there was no politics in the Davis resolutions. There were Republicans present who voted for the resolutions as a fitting compliment to a great Southerner. Dr. J. H. Parker, the Senior Vice Presi dent of the Southern Society, who presided at the meeting at which the Davis resolu tions were passed, said to-day: I think Mr. St. John was hasty, and will re gret his action, but I don't think there is any strong sentiment in the society In favor of ex pelling him. There was nothing improper about the resolutions and nothing in them tbat I could see tbat was calculated to stir np ill feeling. I, as a member of thedxecntire Com mittee of tbe society, was in favor of passing these resolutions, or others like them, immedi ately after Mr. Davis' death. Mr. Davis was a distinguished Southerner, and the resolutions simply honored blm as such. I am sure that a great majority of tbe members of the societv favored the resolutions and their spirit and were somewhat Indignant tbat tbo Executive Committee did not act in the matter, lam sorry that St. John resigned, f pr he is a good fellow, and I like him very much. But no one' man is essential to the prosperity of the South ern Society. The society will go right on lust the same, and, as a matter of fact, the society is increasing In numbers, prosperity and in fluence every day. Mr. St. John said to-day that he did not propose to keep up a running fight with the members of the. Southern Society in the newspapers, as otherwise he would have no time to attend to the banking bnsiness. He added: My letter of resignation, which has been pub lished, explains my course fully, and, I think. Justine my action in tbe minds of all right thinking men. I stand to the sentiments in tbat letter. 1 am out of the Southern Society be cause I could not consistently stay there. So far as can be learned there are no other resignations on acconnt of the Davis resolu tions besides those of Mr. St. John and Mr. Gibson. The annual election of officers of the society occurs in March, and a strong effort will undoubtedly he made then to 'oust the majority of the present board of officers.' President John C. Calhoun, of the society, is personally very popular, but many of the members condemn him for his inactivity in the Davis matter. A prelim inary caucus for the purpose of nominating an opposition ticket to the "regular" ticket has, in fact, been already held. A Small Fire. An alarm from box 87 about 8:30 o'clock last night, was caused by the burning of Adam Randall's baker shop, on Oakland avenue, in the rear of Greenhouse's saloon.

There were only three families evicted to-day jtwo of Hungarians and one of Italians. There was considerable excitement, bnt no vio lence. After the Sheriff, accompanied by 33 Pinkerton men, armed with "Winchesters, had thrown ont an Italian family at "Wal ston, about 300 of their countrymen col lected and began yelling and firing into the air. About 200 shots were fired, and they were getting more excited as the music of tnelr re volvers Increased. This happened about i o'clock this afternoon. Master Workman Wilson arrived on the scene just at this time; went among them and told them they most keen quiet aud not break the peace or they would rnin the cause. Wilson says he believes II he hadn't appeared when be did there wonld have been one ot the bloodiest riots ever seen In tnis country. He says tbe Italians were terribly excited and were worked up almost to that pitch where a crowd becomes a bowling, insane mob. It is thought there will be a great many more evictions to morrow. It is a difficult matter to maintain peace, bur every precaution will be taken to induce the foreign element to respect the law. Tbe evicted lamilles are being cared lor by their friends. Tbe miners' agents are taking care of their effects, and making preparations to house and feed them if necessary. Another warrant was issued to-day charging another Pinkerton man with assault. WAR AMONG COUNTY OFFICERS. Mercer's School Superintendent to Bring Holt Against the Treasurer. rspxciAi. txlkoram to thz dispatch t Mekcer. January 10. There is a speck of war between County Superintendent McCleery on one side and the County Commissioners and County Treasurer on the other. Numerically speaking, the superintendent is on tbe weak side; but, as he is a heavy weight, he will likely come out on top in the winding up of the struggle. The difficulty arose over the payment of tbe $200 which the law provides toward defraying the expenses of the Teachers' Institute. The expenses this year, according to vouchers fur nished, were something over $700. The amount received from the enrollment fees, lectures, etc.. with the balance on hand from last year. lacked 103 of meeting this year's expenses. The treasurer, acting under the advice of the Commissioners and their attorney, refused to pay any more of the 200 than enough to meet the deficit, leaving $97, which. Superintendent McCleery claims, must be paid. He maintains tbat tbe case is one in which the Commissioners have no rieht whatever to meddle; that when tbe vouchers for expenses and the roll showing tbe attend ance were presented to the treasurer he had no discretionary powers whatever, but that it was bis plain duty, under the law, to pay the $200. He has, therefore, ordered bis attorney to bring suit against the treasurer for tbe 97. He is inclined to the opinion tbat the great interest taken in the case by the Commis sioners is due to tbe fact that they were not furnished dead head tickets to the evening en tertainments during the Institute. OLD RESIDENTS INDICTED. Connection' With Certain Dark Deeds Committed Nerfr Flndlay. In JSPICIAI. TEI.EOHAJI TO TUB DIsrATCII.1 Fuidlat. o., January lft On the evening of February 7 of last year a gang of masked men entered the residence of Wesley Oman, near Arlington, this connty, and found the family seated around the fireside. They immedi ately bound them to chairs and bedsteads, using sheets and bed clothing for that purpose. They then ransacked the house, securing J1S5 in money. They expected to get 0,000 which was secreted abont tbe premises, but failed. Since that time tbe Omans have spent consid erable money for detectives, who have been working diligently on tbe case. One of them, John R. Lowe, of Toledo, while engaged in ferreting out the matter, was taken sick and died at the Humphrey House, in this city, last July. It is hinted tbat his death was the result of foul play, but the physicians called it dia betes. Another young detective was then put npon the case, and as a result of his investigations the grand jury this week found indictments against Jerome Kibler. of Flndlay; Henry Kibler, of Flndlay; Charles Morgan, of Ar lington; Henry Bates, of Arlington; James Fox, of Arlington, and Albert Decker, of Canonsburg. These men are all old residents of tbe county. From the first the identity of the robbers was suspected, but there was never any direct proof. It Is believed tbat most of tbe indicted parties have become alarmed and have left the county. A PARMER'S LDCKI ESCAPE.

Mr. Taylor passed through town this evening on his way to Morris Cross Roads, to close the sales of several farms in that neighborhood. There are thousands of acres o(a 0-foot vein of this i oal In Southern Fayette, and there is every reason to believe that tbat section will De an important one in coking matters in the future. A-W.BHs, ofBlissA Marshall, said to-day that he believes Bouthern Fayette will be the scene of active coal and Iron develop ments before the end of the year. "The min erals," he said, "of that section of the county are among tbe best in the tate." It is thought the Baltimore and Ohio will ex tend a branch road to Morgantown next summer.

The Remains of Three Victims of the Lonls vllle Accident Recovered Thlr teen Yet Remain Trjlsg to Fix the Blame. Louisttlle, January 10. It now tran spires that 16 men were killed last night by the sinking of the caisson at the new rail road bridge, instead of 14, as at first re ported. Hamilton Morris and Lewis Cox were the other two men lost. Three bodies were,recovered during Thursday night, bnt none have been taken out since. To-night the effort to recover the bodies in the caisson by pumping in air has been given up, and in the morning men will be sent in by the excavation shaft. It is hoped then that the 13 remaining bodies will be taken out and the inquest will he held at once. The body of Hamilton Morris Tas recovered in the pipe at the top of the sand before,the ma chinery broke to-day. A telegram from John Enoch, Sr., of De troit, asks for the body of his son, John Knoch, not Knox, as heretofore sent out, who was foreman of the men drowned. Also William Naylor, of 3813 Atlantic street, West Philadelphia, asks after Pat Naylor. The relatives of Frank Magay, of Newark, N. J., and James. Mc Adams, of Hyde Park, Pa., have not been heard from. Savy, Smith & Co., tbe contractors, claim through agent General Superintendent Willard, tbat the accident was not due to negligence; that Knoch was an especially competent man, as shown by previous work here, and that he was not drinking, as they employ no drinking men. xne story or Atoms crouch, one or the men who escaped, is that Knoch disobeyed Su perintendent Mitchell by letting the caisson down 18 inches at a time instead of three as directed. He says, too, that Knoch turned off the air completely after the caisson was lowered instead of partially and the rush of water and sand followed at once. The others who escaped corroborate this. Night Superintendent Murphy says tbat in a File in the business he never saw such an acci dent and lavs the blame on Knoch. Joe Fahrlnger, who was in the pumping boat, says he ran to the month of the escape pipe as soon as he heard the rush of air and met Abe Taylor and the others as they came out and they all tried to close the lower door oi the air locks and save the others, bnt found it impossible.

THE PENNSY'S PLEA, Charges of Unfairness, Made 'Against Three Bailway Companies DBKIED BI THE DEFENDANTS, It's True the Big Railroad Made Loir Rate In Certain Cases, BDT THIS, TIS SAID. WAS UNNECESSARY An Arjmnent Tbat Iron-Clad Units Would Injurs, Their Business. The Pennsylvania Company andPenn sylvania Bailroad have filed an answer to certain complaints made by the New Yort Board of Trade and Transportation before the Inter-State Commerce Commission. Tbe defendants were charged with unjust discrimination. This charge is denied anct dismissal of the complaint is asked. Washetotok, January 10. Answer was) filed to-day before the Inter-State Commerce) Commission by the Pennsylvania Bailroad Company, the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago Bailway Company and the Pitts burg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Bailway Company,, defendants in a complaint filed against them by the New York Board ot Trade and Transportation. The complaint charged, among other things, that since) April 4, 1887, the defendants have been guilty of unjust discrimination, in that they have been in the habit of charging their regular tariff rates upon property when de livered to them at New York and Philadel phia for transportation to Chicago and other western points, while charging other persons; rates much lower, and even as low as SO per cent thereof, for a like and cotemperaneous) service, when the property is delivered to them at New York aid Philadelphia by ves sels and steamship lines nnder through bills; of lading from foreign ports and foreign in terior points, etc. ALL THE CHABGES DESIED. Defendants, in their answer, deny that they are guilty of unjust discrimination and' that either of them is interested in the management and operation of steamship lines running from New York and Phila delphia to foreign ports. The Pennsyl vania Bailroad Company, the defendants! say,is,however,the owner of capital stock and bonded indebtedness of tbe International Navigation Company to the extent of less than one-sixth of the entire aggregate of such capital stock and indebtedness. The said International Navigation Com pany is interested in several lines of steam ships between Philadelphia and New York and foreign ports, but the Pennsylvania' Bailroad Company takes no part in, nor does it assnme any control or supervision of, nor does it claim or exercise any excep tional facilities, with reference to said steamships by reason of said stock and bond ownership. THESE WAS AX AGEEEMEHT. The answer admits that, nnder an ar rangement expiring October 1, 1889, the de fendant companies formed with certain ocean steamship lines through routes and by means thereof", were engaged in connec tion with said steamship lines, as common carriers, in the transportation of property under a common arrangement for a continu ous carriage between points in Europe and the city of Chicago and other Western points via New York and Philadelphia: aud defendants say that by the universal practice of carriers constituting a through route nnder a common control, etc., for con tinuous carriage, tbe initial carrier fixed the rate, and subsequent carriers under that practice did not file the tariffs of rates lor through shipments. Defendants also admit that they did receive, as their portion of the through rate, a less amount than thesT fnll inland rate, but say that if a state ment contained in the complaint, a TABLE SHOWING BATES CHABGED hundred pounds, and in cases where im ports were carried by the American line to Philadelphia, is correct in the special in stances there set fortb so far as the through rate is concerned (which is not admitted), yet the divisions therein shown credit de fendants with a less sum than wa: actually received. But defendants aver that said rates, so far as correctly stated, represent exceptional instances of extreme low rates, the current and prevalent rates approxi mating more closely the sum of the inland and ocean rates. The defendants say they are advised that the acceptanceof a proportion for the inland carriage less than the local inland rates was necessary, and they give their reasons why they think such rates are justifiable. Their chief reason is that such rates have been rendered necessary in order to obtain traffio) via New York and Philadelphia, as AGAINST THE COMFEZITIOX of the route via Montreal, for by this latter route 00 of the 800 miles of railroad car riage is upon Canadian railroads, not sub ject to the jurisdiction of the Commission, and only 300 miles upon lines of railroads within the limits of the United States. De fendants say that the agents in Europe of the ronte to Chicago via Montreal, compet ing with the agents of the defendants through line to the same point, tendered to the shippers the option pf movement from Montreal, either by the railroad via Detroit 'or by tbe water ronte via the Merchants line of propellers, and constantly bid for said traffic at a through rate lower than that fixed cotemporaneously by the defendants through line. Delendants therefore aver that the said through rate and the division of the rate, were, for these reasons, justified under tha law and in this behalf, invited the jndg ment of the commission. WANT THE COMPLAEJT DISMISSED. Inasmuch, however, they say in conclu sion, as any order which might be mada restrictive in tbe fnture of the practices by the defendants as herein admitted, wonld work great and unjust prejudice to them unless all tbe competitive lines from the sea shore inland were also in like manner restrained and restricted, it is suggested to the commissioners that nnder their ampla powers in this behalf warranted, they causa the said carriers by competitive routes to ba . made parties to this inquiry. The defendants pray, "therefore, that tha complaint in this case be dismissed. IT WENT UP IN BM0B. The Lotos Fight Falls to Materialize, and the Old Board Wins.
