message. The meeting Is called to "give expression to this feeling of disapproval. Should It a?p-ar that the chamber Is unanimous or contains a strong majority against th President, the effect will be Important. The chamber consists of a thousand members, and Includes nearly all the leading business men of New York city. "The rt Quest to President Orr to cail the meeting was drawn up by Charles Stewart Smith, ex-presldent of the chamber and one of it3 most distinguished members. His avowed object is the censure of President Cleveland, whose action he publicly describe as a blunder which, if pursued as proposed by his message, would be the crime of the century. Mr. Williams, president of the Chemical National Uank, the first, or almost the first, of New York banks, said to an Evening Post Interviewer: I think the message wicked. Mr. Tappen, president of the Gallatin National Dank, another Important institution, said: 'I am entirely opposed to President Cleveland's action, which I think most ill advised. Mr. Simmons, president of the Fourth National Bank, said: I am opposed to the President's position, lie has been prtclritate. and his proposed course wouli violate the Monroe doctrine All these are bankers and citizen of hfsh standing. Those who are in a position to know, say that the feeling gainst the President in business circle is becoming dally stronger. On the other hand the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce has Indorsed the President. This possibly Indicates that, as on other questions, the East and the Wet are going to divU. . "To the list of eminent authorities on International law who condemn the President's doctrine is to be added Professor Von Hoist, of the University of Chicago, historian of constitutional law. Abram S. Hewitt, one of the foremost Democrats In America, talces strong ground against the President, denying the Monroe doctrine require the United State to interfere in any way between England and Venezuela. "There is clearly a change for the better In the temper of the Senate, fur there was DO talk of lushing the bill as in the House, and even Messrs. Morgan and Lodge desire to be thought in favor of deliberation. Mr. llawley. of Connecticut, Republican, spoke in a similar sense, and the bill went over until to-morrow." GEXnilAL .MEIt'niTTS TLA.

In Case of "War He Would Immediately Invnde Canada. CHICAGO. Dec. 13. In the event of a war with Great Britain Chicago will be safe. A no les distinguished military man than Major General . Wesley Merrltt, commanding the Department of the Missouri, says: ."My Impression is that we would, I should hope and Judge, take the Initiative and Invade Canada at once and make that country the seat or war. The immediate seizure of the Welland canal, to hold it or destroy it, would solve at once the problem of the defense of the lake ports. "There Is nothing to fear from Canada. No Invasion cf our country could be undertaken there. We could overwhelm that country with a force outnumbering ten to one anything England could collect or muster, and then not leave our seacoast unprovided with men to defend every port." SALISBURY IS A DULLY. Mlchnel Dnvltt'a . Opinion of the Premier of Grcnt Britain. SAN FRANCISCO. . Dec. 19.-MIchael Davitt. M. P., founder of the Irish Land League and home-ruler, arrived In this city to-day from Sydney, Australia, on the steamer Alameda. In an Interview to-day Mr. Davitt said: "Salisbury is a big bully. It Is time something was done to check him In his wild career. England has beenoing around the world for years bullying and Imposing on little countries. Now, if she is to be allowed to become more and mere tyrannical and unjust in the carrying out of this policy among the republics of the western world, 13 is absolutely necessary that some powerful nation here shall assume the task of doing police duty, so to speak; of standing up between the oppressed and the would-be oppressor from abroad and saying 'Hands off.' It strikes me that the Monroe doctrine, carried out, places the United States in Just the position that I have suggested it Is necessary for some powerful government to fill. I rejoice to se9 the country recognize her own power and dignity and duty, and I am further pleased to hear that President, legislators end people are all so well in accord on the subject. "But there will be r.o war. If the American government remains firm. Salisbury will give way." . GnosvrAoii not iv lixe. Ue Doean't Like Cleveland Interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine. NEW YORK, Dec. 19. Congressman Grosvenor, of Ohio, assailed President resident Cleveland's Interpretation of the Monroe doctrine at the reuloa of the Elev enth Army Corps to-night. When Mr. Grosvenor was introduced by General De Cesnola, president of the association, there was a general expectancy that he would discourse on the President's Venezuelan message. The anticipation was instantly realized. "It Is a long time, in my Judgment," Mr. Grosvenor ?aid. "before we shall be called upon to face another war. I don't look soon for open hostilities. I think that either Congress or, the British nation will be stampeded one or the otherbefore long. These threats of foreign wars are useful. They locate germs of wonderful patriotism. It is cheap and safe to make them. It does not cost a great deal when the President's message is read. All you have to do Is to swear by the message although I don't doubt that the President can be enlightened as to the true interpretation of the Monroe doctrine." At this point, Lieut. W. Beidleman, exaiayor of Easton. Ia., shouted excitedly: "Don't be so sure of that." "I am not o.uite so sure," went on Congressman Grosvenor, "that the Monroe doctrine Is Involved in this Venezuelan matter. Suppose that Spain, after her fruitless and bootless task to fubdue Cuba, and being Impoverished financially, should sell Cuba to England. I don't know that the United State could interfere under the Monroe doctrine." Republican 1'phold the President. NEW YORK. Dec. lD.-At the regular meeting of the Republican county committee to-night the following resolution relating to the Venezuelan controversy was adopted: "Upholding the Monroe doctrine In all proper cases has been the consistent principle of the Republican party since Its organization. The Republicans in this city reJot-i in the enunciation of that doctrine by the President of the United States In the Venezuelan imbroglio, and regret that in other cases such as the Corrinto affair where the propriety of this application was ven clearer than in the present Instance, K was not enforced. We congratulate the Republican House of Representatives on Its prompt response to the demand that the national dignity and honor be upheld." Chairman Lauterbach said: "My connection with the Pacific Mall Steamship Company enables me to obtain an Idea of the contempt In which we are held by the Central and South American countries. This opinion was somewhat changed during Harrison's administration, "but a number of mistakes made by Cleveland brought it on' u again. I am a 'Jingo,' and I believe the President la right. Olnex Severely Criticised. NEW YORK. Dec 13.-3eru Nelson A. Miles was tendered a complimentary, banquet and reception last night at the Hotel Netherlands by his comrades of Lafayette Post. No. 140. G. A. R. General Miles made co reference to the Venezuelan situation, but Governor Coffin, of Connecticut, in responding to the toast; "The Nutmeg State." aid: -Anything 1 may say of this matter may fall short of conviction. I am sure there will be no division of sentiment shown in the matter of the President's message. Ojr people are one in commending his patriotism, and the manner In which he has met this crisis. I regard it as unfortunate, however, that our Secretary of State should have stirred up British feeling. Let us be just. I believe it is a time for careful reflection and consideration. We ehQuid be carelul In what we say to our mother; we are of one blood, anj accursed be the j-rson who shall be guilty of precipitating a war between mother and daughter." Irishmen to the Front Again. CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 13.-About forty of the. leading Irish-Americans of this city, representing all of the various Irish societies, held a meeting last night to discusj the Venezuelan affair.

It was also ocldd that in ending the resolution to the Governor Major Gleason should make It clear that the thousand Is only a be

ginning and when more are wanted more will be forthcoming from this city. AVnr Shlpa Ordered Home. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. W. The cruiser Charleston is lylig temporarily disabled at Nagasaki, Japun.

Through the century It has experienced a steady, healthy growth, until it has reached magnificent proportions, until its tonnage of documented and undocumented vessels Is eight millions greater than that of Great Britain, Germany, France, Spain and Italy combined, employed in like business. In 1893 there were passed through the locks at Sault Ste. Marie, in eight months, a little over eleven million tonnage, two million more than the Suez canal carried In the entire year. If the toast has reference to our ships engaged in foreign carrying trade, a subject of much graver importance from a national point of view, then the picture I am comSelled to draw is, indeed, a mortifying and umillatlng one for a rich, prosperous and powerful maritime country, once the only rival of Great Britain on the ocean, to look upon." "The American Business Men" was the subject of a few remarks by Gen. Horace Porter. He asserted that since the abolishment of slavery manual labor had been dignified. Of our young men he said they should be taught that every honorable path is open to their success, that they nave ample opportunity, that if they possess or can acquire the necessary qualities they can become conspicuous leaders, can put themselves in command, can get to the front, can stand among the men who can convince when others cannot advise. The speech of Hon. Don. M. Dickinson was on the subject of "American Commerce." Much of his address referred to Cuba, touching which he said, in part: T do not advocate the forcible acquisition of Cuba, nor do I make a plea for annexation if she shall achieve her Independence. I do urge, however, that we shall at least perform our duty by the Cuban insurgents and by Spain; always within the rules of international law, even If, in the performance of that duty, Cuba shall be Incidentally aided In achieving her Independence." Spain had not been our friend, and Mr. Dickinson referred to Instances to show the lack of friendship. The inhuman methods practiced in the conduct of the present war by the law of nations, he said, called for the intervention of this government. "The Cubans should be accorded belligerent rights. Self-protection nay, self-respect-demands recognition." Mr. Dickinson submitted figures on the wonderful growth of lake shipping, which he submitted as an argument and an appeal to the best thought of the country when the West and South ask for an open waterway to the seaboard. Several other speeches were made before the banquet closed. THE TEXAS DEFECTIVE NEW BATTLE SHIP'S TRIAL AGAIN RESULTS IX A FIASCO. Unable to Stand the Test and Iler Engines Had to Slow Up Trouble -with Structural Work. NEW YORK, Dec. 19. Once more the official trial of the battle ship Texas has had to be postponed, this time after she had very successfully accomplished threefourths of the task allotted to her. The cause of the postponement was in no way attributable to the contractors for the engines, but to structural defects. The ship returned to her anchorage off Tompklnsville, S. I., to-night, and will await Instructions from the Washington authorities to Captain Glass as to his further movements. Sea and weather conditions were all that could be desired for a successful trial of the big battle ship when she left her anchorage off Staten island this morning. Exactly at 10:30 o'clock the word was passed to the examining engineers that the trial had begun to test the horse power of the ship's engines, for which the specifications called for 8,600. The conditions were that for each unit of horse power developed In excess of this amount the contractors were to receive J10O bonus, and, on ths other hand, for each unit under that number they had to forfeit J100. The contract price was 13G4.5CO, the contractors being the Richmond (V'a.) locomotive and machine works. For tae first three hours of the trial the general average speed attained was 17.8 knots, the maximum being 18.6 knots. Tie ship was kept In her eastern course until she reached a point about twenty-five miles south and six miles east of Shlnnock light. She was then turned leisurely and headed for New York again. By this time every one on board was delighted with the showing made so far, and it looKed as if the vessel wcuia more man accomplish everything required by the specifications during the four hours' run, as in fifty minutes more the trial would have been completed, but It was soon apparent that tnere was something wrong down below, as her speed slackened very perceptibly. The trouble was in the engine aJid fire rooms. Large quantities of cold water were being used to keep the Journals cool. The water ran into the crank pits and vas then sent to a main drain pipe which extends through the engine room. The water falls into cisterns in the fire room, where the bilge pumps are used to carry it away. The pumps were totally Inadequate for this. In consequence the place became flooded and work had to be stopped. This same difficulty was found on the preliminary trial, and was, therefore, not duo to any accidental choking or straining. When, it became known that the trial had to be postponed once more there was the deepest regret expressed, as It is quite probable that another trial may not take place for a couple of weeks yet. Tho ship will. very likely, bo sent back to the Brooklyn navy yard to have changes male which will obviate the trouble which stopped to-iay's tr!al. Everything considered, tne showing male by the vessel to-Jay was very satisfactory and there Is no doubt that after being' prepared for anotter effort it will prove successful. BBBBBSBBB1BSBBBBBBBBBBBBSBBSBBBBBBBBBBSBSSSBBBSBBBBSBBS FAST ON A LEDGE. The Steamship Spree Stranded Xear Totland Ray. SOUTHAMPTON, Dec. 13. The steamship Spree stranded this morning at 5:10 o'clock on Warden ledge, near Totland bay. It was expected that she would be floated on the morning tide, but the effort was unsuccessful. Various stories are afloat in regard to the grounding of the steamer. According to one report, just prior to running on the ledge, she suddenly altered her course, and It Is stated that her pilot, Austin, ordered her helm to be starboarded when he intended it to be ported. Another story is to the effect that the captain give

tho order for the change of course, unknown to the pilot. In any case, the Spree is firmly fixed cn the rocks and she ha a slight list to starboard. When it was found that the Spree cculd not be gotten off. her specie, passengers and mails were conveyed in tugs to this port. There was no panic on board the Spree. When she ran ashore and since she grounded she has not been making water. It is believed that the steamship, when lightened, will be gotten on without sustaining much damage. She carried about ninety saloon passengers. The Strathnerls Xot Sighted. VANCOUVER. B. C, Dec. 19.-The Empress of India, Jun arrived from the Orient, has not sighted the disabled Sirathnevis.

A CAROLINA HORROR FORTY-THREE COAL MI.NERS KILLED IX AN KPLOSIOX. Catastrophe . In the Old Eaypt" Mines, Famous Dnrlns; the War In North Carolina RALEIGH, N. C, Dec. 19. At 0 o'clock thla morning, shortly after the day force, numbering sixty-seven men, had gone on duty at the Cumnock coal mines, six miles west of here, a fire damp explosion occurred with terrible effect. On hearing the report the people of the village and relatives of the entombed miners hastened to the scene. After pumping fresh air into the shafts several miners were prevailed on to venture down and investigate. They found snd brought out twenty-five men from shafts Noa. 2 and 3, five or six of them being bedly wounded and some will probably die. A mule and two men were killed in slope No. 2. After considerable delay the searching party entered slope No. 1, where they were greeted by a most horrible and gbatlly BghL Dead men fearfully mutilated were found, some of them partly covered up with pieces of coal, timber and other debris. At 4 o'clock ten or twelve miners went down to bring up the dead bodies, but at last accounts none of the dead had been recovered. It is believed that forty-three men were killed. Some of them were negroes and foreigners and the rest natives of North Carolina, Several I had families living at Cumnock, Eight of the dead miners were from Pennsylvania and expected to return to that State tomorrow to visit relatives. A quantity of dynamite was In the mine and exploded, wrecking coal cars and splitting massive pieces of timber into kindling wood. The dead are. White Council Poe, W. Tyson, J. O'Brien. A. T. Andrews, G. Morrison, M. Bently, II. Morrison, Dan Morrison, Charles Poe, J. Gunter, Gulnn, J. Shamberger, William Swalls, William McDonald, Lucian Holland, Charles Strakey ar.d John Schmidt. Colored L. Cnankle, j-i. White, A. White, J. Reeves, W. Jenkins, Wm. Baldwin, Fisher Reeves, Walter Kolton, Clay Harris, Jack McGree, Jesse Lambet, Gus Lambet, John Norwood and J. R. Thompson. The Cumnock mines were opened about fifty years ago as the Egypt mines, and Just before the civil war a commission of ordnance experts reported in favor of establishing there a great gun plant, as iron ore of good quality is quite near. During the war the coal was used at the Fayettevllle arsenal, to which the plant from Harper's Ferry, Va., had been removed. Some of the coal was also used on blockade running steamers leaving the port of Wilmington, but as it made a good deal of smoke peveral of the vessels t were thereby betrayed and were ; captured. A year before the war i there was an explosion in the mine which caused a few deaths. After,, the war the mine -was virtually abandoned, but about fifteen years ago was pumped out and some mining done, but the output was small. Five or six years ago a company composed of Pennsylvanlans was formed which bought the mine, and two years ago expended J2u0,C00 on new machinery. This company changed the name this vear from Egypt to Cumnock, after a noted mine in Scotland. This year a contract was made to furnish the Seaboard Alr-ilne with three hundred tons daily. Two weeks ago Governor Carr and State Geologist Holmes visited the mine and went to the lowest level, which Is about 450 feet deep, the shaft being about fifty feet deeper. The output they found to be about one hundred and fifty tons dally. There had not- until to-day been any special trouble with gas In the mine. The force of miners numbered about seventy-five, all save very few of these being from the surrounding country. These few men were Pennsylvanlans, brought there by Langdon and S. P. Henszey, the principal owners of tho mines. As this is the only coal mine In the State, interest In its work has naturally been great. CITY NEWS NOTES.
