Like Peals of Thunder—A Mad Rush
for the Ladders to Escape.
LONDON, Jan. 11.—The Wheal Owl mine,

of the doomed as the water rushed at them.

of the men supposed to have been
drowned escaped alive. The total number
of the missing is now 19. It is believed
that the disaster was caused by a miner
blasting a hole which, tapped the old work-
ings. Survivors report that the inrush of
water sounded like peals of thunder and
was followed by a rush of wind which ex-
tinguished all the lights. The cries of the
men during the mad rush for the ladders
were heart-rending, Many of the miners
had narrow escapes, The pumps of the
mine are now completely choked and sev-

MORLEY'S ACUTENESS.
Undoing What Balfour Did—The Trish
Members Applaud.
LONDON, Jan, 11.—Concurrently with
the appointment of Sir Joseph West
Ridgeway, formerly Under Secretary for
Ireland, under the Salisbury -Balfour re-
gime, to the Morocco mission, Sir Robert
(x. C. Hamilton, governor of Tasmania,
has arrived in London. Hamilton, who
is a Liberal and a man of large ability,
was Under Secretary for Ireland in 1886.
Balfour wanted to get Hamilton out of the
way on account of his knowledge
of Irish affairs, which might prove
embarrassing to the Tories, and had hila
appointed governor of Tasmania, while
Ridgeway, a Conservative of Conserva-
tives, was made Under Secretary. The
Unionist newspapers all praise the appoint-
ment of Ridgeway to the Morocco mission,
being unable apparently to see that Chief
Secretary Morley has merely shunted
Ridgeway off', in order to obtain the ser
vices of Hamilton, who will be of immense
service on the Home Rule Bill and will go
to work immediately on that measure.
Hamilton will be a most valuable aid to
Mr. Morley on all Irish questions, with
which he is very familiar. The Irish
members applaud the move, while grinning
in their sleeves.
The mutterings of the coming session
have already begun on both sides. Joseph
Chamberlain and Sir Henry* James are vis-
iting the Duke of De'Voushire at Chats-
worth. A meeting of Unionists will short-
ly be summoned to decide where they will
sit in the House of Commons. It is be-
lieved that Chamberlain has been engaged
during the recess in preparing scorching
speeches to greet the advent of the Homo
Rule Bill,
