THE KHEDIVE IS DEAD.
Death of the Ruler of Egypt from
Influenza.
Cario, Jan. 9—The Khedive of Egypt died
yesterday afternoon. He was stricken with
influenza several days ago, and the attack
resulted in his death.
Tewfik Pasha (Mohammed Tewfik), Khe-
dive of Egypt, was born November 10, 1852,
being the eldest son of the late Khedive
Ismail, He succeeded to the Viceroyalty
of Egypt by a decree of the Ottoman Empire
August 8, 1879, upon the forced abdication
of his father, and redeived the investiture on
August 14. Thettitle of Khedive, instead of
that Vali or Governor, was conferred upon
his father by an imperial firman in 1866.
At the same time the law of succession was
altered from that which had been established
in 1841. Instead of successfn devolving, as
heretofore, according to the usual principles
of Mohammedan law, upon the senior male
descendent of the founder of the dynasty. it
was to go to Ismail’s eldest son; and thence-
forth in thesame manner of primogeniture,
excluding the other branches of Mohammed
Ali's family. This favor was granted to the
late Khedive in 1866 by Sultan Abdul Azin,
in consideration of a large money payment,
but in violation of the ancient and sacred
law, and of the Convention with the Foreign
owers. The consequence of that arrange-
ment of 1866 was the accession of Tewfik in
1879, instead of Halim. the fourth son of
Mohammed Ali. Tewfik married in
January, 1873, the Princess Emineh
daughter of the late El Haumy Pasha, and
has two sons and two daughters.

AN NFUL MINE HORROR.
200 MINERS ENTOMBED,
A Terrible Mine Oatastrophs in the
Indian Territory.
M&Allister, I. T., Jan. 9—About 5 oclock
this evening an explosion occurred at mine
No. 11, a coal shaft operated by the Bage
coal and mining company, near Krebs.
The noise of the explosion was heard by
the whole surrounding country, and the
people of the Little town were not long in
surmising the dreadful meaning of the con-
cussion: The top of the shaft was at once
the objective point of every man, woman
and child above ground, and soon the most
harrowing scenes were enacted by the
friends and relatives of the poor un-
fortunates who were imprisoned in the
mine. There is only the slightest chance of
rescue for those not already dead.
All was confusion for a time and no one
seemed to know what todo. The result was
that much valuable time was lost in com-
mencing the work of rescue,
the frantic conduct of the women tend-
ing to interfere with the efforts of the
cooler headed men to bring order to the
chaos. They succeeded last, however,
and a force was organized to go down to the
mine to.render what assistance was possible
to the victims, They had not returned when
the last word was received from Krebs, and
it is not known how many men were
rescued.
The scene at the mine baffles description®
Miners from other sections came pouring in
to the settlement, offering what assistance
they could in the way of rescue, but owing
to the flimsy nature of the earth through
which the shaft hud been made they were of
little assistance.
Just before the explosion occurred the
hoisting cage had arrived at the top with
half a dozen mén. As thelast man stepped
trom the cage the explosion occurred and
the force of the concussion forced the cage
nearly 100 feet in the air. A second later a
scorching flame shot upward, driving the
men back to a place of safety.
There was many sad scen es witnessed ag
the bodies of the dead were brought to the
surface. Wives and children gathered
around, weeping and moaning; strong men
turned away to hide the moisture that
would gather in their eyes, in spite of their
utmost effects to keep it back. It will be
fully a week before all the bodies of the en-
tombed men can be reached and brought to
the surface. Work will be pushed as fast as
possible, however, and every endeavor will
be made to get at them.
AT LEAST 100 DEAD.
It is impossible yet to give an estimates
even of the number of lives lost, but it it
generally believed that it will reach at least
100, and very likely more. Many of thy
men who succeeded in getting out alive will | ;
die, owing to their servere burns.
What caused the : explosion cannot be
stated, but it is supposed that some miner
fired a blast without warning, a proceeding
in direct violation of the rules of the mine.
SIXTY DEAD—117 WOUNDED ALL THE
> BODIES RECOVERED.
McAllister, I. T. Jan. 12—All the bodies
have been taken out of the Osage mine and
the list stands now, 6) dead and 117 wound-
ed, several of whom will surely die.
The funeral of the majority of the victims
took place today. y
Supt. Cameron said today: “Ths com-
ny can inno way be held responsible for
he explosion as the mine has been carefully
examined by experts, who claim that the
ventilation was good and there was no gas
in any part of the mine. ‘The fault was in
the entry man firing his shots contrary to
orders, which were not to be fired until 5:30
P- m., when all the men would be out of the
mine. The fan never stopped running, and
, the 196 live men weretaken ont within seven
hours after the explosion, thus showing
Splendid management. The mines will be
cleared within 10 days and it will take 150
car loads of slate and rock to clear the first
passage.”
ITS CLUTCH CONTINUES,
Ravages of the Grip in Various Sections
of the Country.
London, January 9.—Details received in
regard to the prevalence of influenza
throughout Europe show that the disease is
of a very severe type, and is daily increasing
in its ravages. In many towns in France

mortality has been increased 30 per cent. In
Stammerdorf, a suburb of Vienna, 15 deaths
have occurred in two dsys, and all the
schools have been ordered closed. Valencia
is suffecing badly, many inhabitants being
prostrated. The disease is also spreading in

enza is a medium of contagion. A family
consisting of six members, have been found
dead in their isolated dwelling near Reih-
weisen, in the Sudetic mountains, on the
Bohemian frontier. Evider.ces existed that
¢ the four adult members had died of influen-

lations which require cattle imported from
the United ~tatesto be slaughtered at the

taken up and was by Mr, Vest explained
and advocated. After some discussion the

tion prescribing the order of to day’s busi-
ness in the house. A long discussion ensued
regarding a provision of the resolution that
no private bilis introduced to day be printed.
A satisfactory amendment was made aud
the resolution was finally adopted. A large
number of reports from the beads of execu-
tive departments was laid before the house,
as well as several documents from the presi-
dent, among the latter being one regarding
the Russian famine, which su ted to con-

lic character were introduced and referred.
iMr. Pickler of South Dakots. announced

WEeDNESDAY~—In the Senate among the
apers presented and referred were the
ollowing: From the President of the
American National Red (ross Association
urging the Government of the United
States to take steps for transport of donations
of grain to the starying Russian peasantry;
fromthe Ghamber of Commerce of Seattle,
Washington, praying that Congress, by more .
liberal appropriations, enable the War and
Navy Departments to place the country in a
thorough condition of defence, so as be
prepared to maintain the natural dignity
an to protect its humblest citizens

The Vice President laid before the Senate
three messages from the President, transmit-
life a eements made by the commissioners

ed at great length the question of referring
the Senate joint resolution authorizing the
Secretary of the Navy to transport contribu-
tions for the relief of the suffering poor of
Russia, and a petition to the effect
at ibe United States should
extend its aid to Russian sufferers.
‘After a long debate Mr. Holman of Indiana
moved to strike out the appropriation
clause. He would not see any reason why
the United States should charter a ship to
transport the provisions contributed by her
citizens to the sufferers of Russia. The
Russian government was amply able to do
this herself. Mr. Heolman’s motion was
agreed to; yeas 166, nays 70. Mr. Breckin-
ridge of Kentucky remarking that it was
perfectly clear that the United States navy
had no ships which could be used and that
the resolution was now a useless one, moved
to postpone its consideration indefinitely.
This motion was agreed to, 93 to 87. This
is equivalent to a defeat of the measure.
