Honvier thereupon left the meeting, declaring that lie would resign. "President Carnot's difficulty is increased by the reports that his father and brothers are involved in the Panama canal scandal. President Carnot himself, and not M. Ilibot, was the one who sent to M. Tirard the dispatch: 'Icall upon you as a friend of my family not to refuse oflice. If you do, I will resign to-morrow.1

BLAINE ON HIS DEATHBED.
llollef Tlmt the Ex-Serret:iry Cnnnnt R.* cover Troin Ilia lllncn,. NKW YORK, Dee. 15.—The following special dispatch from Washington has been received: "James G. lilaine is now on his deathbed. The strengthsapping malady from which he has suffered for so long a time has assumed a form which warns his family and friends of a speedy termination. The disease attacked his lungs a short time ago and its course lias bullied the skill of his physicians. The visit of Dr. Iv G. Janeway, of New York, to Mr. lilaine is indicative of the extreme anxiety of the family. "When the fact became known that Mr. Blaine's lungs were succumbing to the ravages of disease plans were laid to convey the distinguished invalid to
Pasadena, Cal., in the hope that a mild and soothing climate might, enable him to rally. Mr. Blaine's weakness, however, increased so rapidly that it was deemed unsafe to move him, and the trip to California was abandoned. There is reason to believe that the exsecretary's death may occur at any day."
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—"Very much better," was the reply given Wednesday evening at the family residence to the inquiry about the health of Hon. James G. lilaine.

KU FA or MANY MlNKIiS. I.OMKIN. Iee. l". A fearful explosion has occurred at the limiifurliuig colliery, Wigan, and not less than tiftv lives have been lost. Th« men went to their work as usual in tli«* morning and after the colliery had been inspected in the usual way. They had not been at work long when a terrible explosion shook the earth f»r a great distance, and a cloud of smoke shot-up through the shaft into the air. A multitude of people rushed toward the mine, and the greatest excitement prevailed. It was soon ascertained that a large number had perished, and the wailing and weeping of women and children made an indescribable scene. Steps were immediately taken to ascertain the full extent of the disaster. and a erowd of volunteers promptly offered to explore the pit. It is believed that the explosion WJS caused by accumulated coal gas which had escaped the notice of the ofticial charged with the inspection of the mine.
A Hundred Imprisoned.
A hundred men remain in the mine unable to get out owing to the lire followed the explosion, and is raging fiercely in the making it diflicult for resto get at the imprisminers. Notwithstanding the
which which mine, oners oned (ire and other obstacles. the work of rescue is proceeding, and volunteers are not deterred bv danger or difficulty in their efforts to save their fellow miners from a terrible death. Hundreds of women and children surround the mouth of the mine waiting anxiously for news of fathers, husbands. brothers and sous.
Twenty Mi'n Kt'-I'm'(1.
Twenty miners have been brought up by tile rescuers from the mine. The remainder are still imprisoned below, The men were nearly exhausted when brought to the surface. The women and children crowded around to see who they were, und those who recognized tliem as their relatives ov whelmed them with caresses. The men who arn still below are imprisoned in a seam that is under where the tire is raging. Strong hopes are entertained that many of them will be rescued alive.
A Scoro of Dead llodie*.
Desnite the efforts to extinguish the fire the tlames sprend to the engine house at the head of the air tunnel. This Stoppeil the pumping of air into the mine and added greatly to the peril of those who were in the pit. The lire was lioL-snl.idued until 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Some little time after the bodies of twenty of the miners who had been suffocated by the noxious gases generated in the mine after the explosion wero brought to the surface by the rescuing party. Though the work is extremely dangerous the exploration of the workings is continued in the hope that some of the miners in the pit at the time of the explosion may have reached places of safety, where they are awaiting the approach of the rescuers.
Horrible Scenes iu the ."Mine. The rescue, parties report horrioie scencs in the mine. In the main roads the bodies lie in twos and threes as the men fell, face downward and heads towards the entrance of the shaft. Large sections of roof and galleries have collapsed. Amid the ruins were found mangled bodies and half-burned limbs. The ruins have blocked many parts of the. mine and therefore the. men searching for bodies are unable to give any definite idea of the number lost. Several miners who were just alive when found died on their way to the surface orshortlyafterbeingtal.cn from the car. One rescue party reached the surface half suffocated by the heat and smoke caused by fresh outbreaks of the fire.
The rescued miners believe that the explosion was caused by sparks from the engine house, which is said to have caught lire a few minutes before the explosion. Men were sent through the mines warning the laborers and many of those nearest the shaft escaped. The miners who worked farther from the shaft tried to rush through fire and smoke and were suffocated ill the effort.

KX-SKSAL OLT HI.AL* STEAKS. PUM.AIIKI.TIHA, Dec. 15.—At the third day's session of the American Federation of Labor Wednesday morning lliu committee on resolutions reported a plan to create national or international unions whenever seven local unions of any craft had been formed. President Goinpers thought that it would not always be practicable, owing to the wcakuess of newly formed unions.
The debate was suspended by the appearance of ex-Senator Henry W. Blair, of New Hampshire, who addressed the assembled delegates on his proposed improvement of the common-school system.
Want tile Military I'nwrr Chocked. A special committee was appointed for the consideration of methods for limiting to their proper functions the military and judicial powers, which it was resolved had been used in contravention of law and government during recent labor encounters.
Another resolution en the same topic was reported favorably, providing that as the strike and boycott had failed as weapons of organized labor, a campaign of education should be inaugurated by the federation and the power of the ballot should be arrayed in the struggle for union supremacy. For this purpose the executive council was recommended to use such funds of the federation as should be found necessary. The resolution was referred to the special committee with several others aimed against the military.
A request from the Waiter's alliance that all central bodies composed of local unions be abolished and the local organizations be allowed direct representation iu the federation was negatively reported aud refused. Utiani tnous consent was given for immediate consideration of a resolution to send the federation's greeting to lliu striking glass-blowers of New .lerse.v.
KesolutlitilH lntrodui-rd.
Numerous resolutions were introduced. Among them were the following I'avoring the assistance of labor men iu the inspection of certificates of returninir Chinese: prohibition of Japanese immigration: for a congressional investigation of the t'unir d'Alene troubles for establishing friendly relations with the Knights ol' Labor: favoring the opening of s.-hoolhouses for public meetings for the removal Of federation headquarters west of Cincinnati: for the exposition of the labor problem iu public schools.
A'number of communications from affiliated bodies were received during the afternoon. One asked .support for a federal law to punish corporations which issue scrip or metal tokens of value less than five dollars in payment of their debts: another favored the. opening of the world's fair on Sunday, and a third was agai.ist the employment of aliens on public works.
A recommendation from the grievance committee was adopted that the Duquosne and Alvin factories of Pittsburgh be declared non-union if they refuse to sign the scale amended by the Machinists' and the Kleetrical I'.mploycs unions by January I.
Another recommendation was also coneurrcd in revoking the charter of the Cleveland (O.I Sewing Machine Iron Workers' union and instructing the members to join the National Sewing Machine union.
The THritt'y lli'Hf ion llrought I |. A breeze over the. tariff was provoked b.v a negative report on a resolution asking an extra session of congress for the passage of free-trade legislation. An attempt was made to discuss the resolution, but th.- chair decided that any discussion on the tariff was not germane to the issue before the federation and that, the resolution was out of order.
