MINES AND RAILROADS.
Several residents uf Freelaud who
work in Upper Lehigh collieries receiv
ed notice on Saturday that they stand

laid otl' until the 10th Inst.

tive month that tho miners' wages have
been below basis.
Tho Neilson Colliery, at Shainokin,
was closed down on Friday for an in
definite period, aud the mules have been
hoisted from the inside workings. Six
hundred men and boys will bo thrown

the United Mine Workers will be held at
No. 2 Drifton tomorrow evening, at
Stockton Wednesday evening and at

FIRST NAVAL BATTLE.
American and .Spanish War-hip* Have
Met in Hie Pacific Ocean.
The first battle of the war took place
yesterday morning in the harbor of
Manila, Philippine Islands, in the Paci
fic ocean, and resulted in a great victory
for the United States fleet under com
mand of Commodore Dewey. As a re
sult the three largest Spanish vessels
are sunk. The finest ship in the Spanish
Meet was the Maria Christina, which was
destroyed aud her commander killed.
The Castillo, was scuttled, the San Juan
de Austria was blown up arid the rest
scattered. Not a single American ves
sel was lost. Spanish official accounts
-ay the American fleet made a lauding
• f their wounded. This is a confession
ihat Dewey controls the harbor and can
reduce the city at his pleasure.

It is reported that the coal operators
are afraid a strike will he ordered as

ietv to get companies organized to take
the place of the old militia gives color to

their agents throughout the region.

Disastrous ( awin at Duryea.
At about 9 o'clock Friday morning the
village of Duryea was thrown into a
panic of excitement through the gradual
settling of from one-half to three-quarters
of a square mile of ground, much of
j which is in the resident portion of the
town. A low rumbling noise gave the
; people the first intimation of danger,
j and before most of them could move
their homes were thrown off the founda
tions or the slamming of doors and
j breaking of windows told them of the
I danger.
The men. women and children rushed
j iu consternation from their homes, and
i the most intense excitement was felt.
I To add to their dilemma, the water
1 main leading through the village burst.
| ami the water ran in deluge into cellars
I and through the immense fissures which
formed from the cave. As the surface
I gradually sank houses rocked and the
| falling of chimneys and glass mad© a
| continuous din. In many houses the
j frightened occupants were, held fast
| through the twisting of doors so that
i they could not he opened. The Mien
I were active, however, and with hammers
: and hatches the doors or windows were
| knocked in. permitting egress.
I Among the buildings seriously datn
| aged was the German Catholic church.
; the walls of which w here shattered and
j the altar with all its ornaments was
: thrown on the Hour. From all over the
, village come reports of damaged prop
erty.
j The concussion from the fall inside the
i mine was terrific, as an immense volume
! of dust was thrown out of the shaft of
the llulstead colliery, to which the vein
i settled is a part. The officials are in
j ignorance of the extent of full or damage
iu the interior, but old miners assert
; that more fails will come.

ed iu the Dominion.
Ottawa, Canada, April 28.
{ Editor Tkiiiunk.- The Canadian par
i liament. having disposed of the bill to
j construct a railroad to the Klondike
| gold fields, is dragging out the remainder
j of its session with little interest under
; the head of that perennial source of dis
cord, the tariff. 1 wonder what leglsla-
I tivo assemblies the world over would do
j if they did not have this old thread-bare
subject to fall back upon while waiting
| for something else to turn up. The
I parliament, since its opening in Feb- ,
| rimy, has been occupied with the con
i sideration of a bill, introduced by the .
1 government, that had for its object the i
I building of a railroad to the Klondike. '
j The road was to he one hundred and j
; fifty miles long. The provisions of the
hill were somewhat startling. No money ,
was to be paid by the government for j
the road, but for each mile the company
was given the choice of 7,500 acres of
land in the Northwest region, besides
au unconditioned monopoly of the. traffic
I for the next ten years,
i In vitw of the rumor about the great
richness of the land in the Klondike,
i this enormous grant for a narrow-giiage ;
1 railway seemed out of reason. Yet it
j was warmly supported by the govern
| ment, although it met the undivided J
opposition of the Conservative party. :
The opposition, however, was not snlli- '
cient to overcome the government ma
jority. and the bill was passed iu the !
commons. It then went to the senate,
whore it was defeated a few days ago.
During tlx* debate uu the bill I had !
occasion to notice some of the peculiar
ities of parliamentary proceodure. It
was not unusual to see a member rise in
j bis place and

in the French language, to be followed
by au English speaker, und he in turn
succeeded by another French talker.
I This, I learned, was a privilege granted
Jby the constitution. It bas prevailed
i over since the new constitution of 1791.
when it was proposed as a compromise
to quiet tho fierce-rivalry of tho French
and English for supremacy of language, i
The members of the Dominion parlia
ment, however, do not avail themselves I
; of the privilege as much iu late years ;
|as formerly. The French speaker no |
j longer commands the same hearing as j
i tho English speaker, and it is the aim of
! every member to be able to debate iu
the latter tongue. But it is still the
custom to read all bills, motions ami
resolutions iu both languages.
In the province of Quebec, the di>- :
tinctlvely French section of the Domiii- ;
ion, the language of the founders of the
country has a much stronger hold, in i
the provincial legislature ull bills and ;
other documents are required by law to
be printed iu both languages, and the
business of the legislature is almost
I wholly conducted in the French tongue,
i The cabinet of the Dominion, unlike j
i our president's cabinet, takes an active i
i part in the conduct of affairs on the j
j Hour of the house of commons. The
i cabinet is composed and formed from j
j members of the party in power. The |
j premier is also a member of the house. 1
I Sir Wilfred Laurier, the present premier.

■ Liberals, lie is a typical politician.

The senate i- a body that- does not
attract much attention. Its members
1 are appointed by the governor general
and hold office for life. It contains all
; the old fogies of Canada's body politic. 1 ,
j They are like so many pegs, that lit into

J custom, rather than of necessity or use
