It is generally supposed that mining is the most hazardous of all pursuits, but recent statistics go to Ihow that it is really safer than railroading. These figures are to the effect that in 1892 there was but one fatal accident to every 378 employes and one non-fatal one to every 158 in the coal mines, whereas there was one man killed for every 320 mev: employed and one man injured to every 28 in the railroad service. Hereafter, for the first time in the history of the country, the Stars and Stripes will float over the national capital every day. whether congress is in session or not, a provision to that effect having been inserted in the sundry eivil appropriations bill. The credit for this new departure is due to Sena- i tor Hale. ^ The Philadelphia Press says that while the sleeping car companies make a dividend of from eight to ten per cent, a year tnc private freight ear companies realize from twenty-five to thirty per cent, and in some cases fifty percent.

The gravel pit is within about twenty feet of Camp Columbia, where a few weeks ago a number of our prominent young society people were taking an outing.

REST AHEAD. The Present Week Expected to Witness the Close of the First Session of the FiftyThird Congress - Nothing Now to Do But Clean Up the Fag End. Washington, Aug. 20. —There is good reason to believe that the week that opens to-day will see the close of the first session of the fifty-third congress. The work of the senate is finished; the last of the appropriation bills was completed and the conference report adopted Friday, and there is nothing now for the senate to do but to clean up the fag ends of a busy and very entertaining session. About the only thing that keeps senators here is the tariff bill; and the general impression now is that the president will permit it to become law just as soon as the treasury officials are ready to carry it into effect. That he does not intend to veto the bill is clear, for the law points are not being prepared at the government printing office. After this it is likely that the senate may meet for a short time daily and then adjourn pending the reception of the tariff bill. Until it is known just when to expect this measure from the president it iS not likely that a joint resolution fixing a day for adjournment will be introduced. In the meantime there will be an effort (and perhaps a successful one) to pass the house bill to repeal all laws authorizing a rebate of the internal revenue tax on alcohol used in the arts. Mr. Sherman in his “plain talk” on Saturday showed the necessity for

the passage of that measure; and Mr. Allison will be heard on the same point and on the whole subject of this session’s tariff legislation to-day. There was nothing much for the house of representatives, apparently, but to wait for the action of the president on the tariff bill and then adjourn. The adoption of the Murphy resolution in the senate Saturday is taken as an expression of the determination on the part of that body to do no more business, and the futile efforts of the managers of the quorum to vote on the Sugar trust and bounty resolution demonstrated the fact that, like the house, the senate was practically without a quorum. Therefore, it is assumed that none of the bills yet in conference between the two houses will be further considered at this session, for it is not likely that they could be passed, even were the conferees to come to an agreement thereon. Among this class of measures are two proposed judicial changes, one relating to the powers of commissioners appointed by territorial courts, and the other to the payment of state taxes levied against corporations in the hands of receivers appointed by United States courts. The committee on rules has notified hairmen of committees applying for a day on which to consider business reported from them that no more allotments of time for that purpose will be made. As long as the house remains in session, bills may be considered and passed by unanimous consent; but nothing that does not meet general approval stands any show of getting through. Just before the house adjourned last Thursday an effort was made to gain consideration for the bill reported by a conference committee and agreed to that day by the senate prohibiting the immigration of anarchists, ltut objection was made by several members, and the probabilities now are that it must go over untill next session. COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED. A Quartette of Makers and Shovers of the Queer Run In. Chicago, Aug. 80.—City detectives yesterday arrested four expert counterfeiters, who have been flooding the neighborhood of Western avenue for several weeks with spurious silver coin, dollars, halves and quarters. The men caught are Thaddeus Strankewicz, Joseph Rosinenitch, Casper Steaken and John Kilogski. Their • victims were store and saloon keepers. One of the detectives discovered Rosinenitch paying for drinks with one of the “queer” dollars and with the aid of other officers ran down the rest of the gang. Strankewicz had. a little jewelry store as a blind for his part of the business,'plating bad money to make it passable. The police, armed with search warrants, made a concerted raid on the homes of the gang and found plenty of the coin on them. The outfit for making the stuff was also found secreted on their premises.

DRIVEN TO SUICIDE By Fean of Losing a Petty Government Position. Washington, Aug. 20.—Capt. E.,W. Nicholson, superintendent of the United States treasury stables, committed suicide yesterday afternoon by shooting himself in the breast. The wound did not cause immediate death, and he was taken to the Enrergency hospital, where he died a few hours later. The deceased was from Indiana, his son, Meredith Nicholson, being an editorial writer on the Indianapolis News. The only cause that can be assigned for the act was despondency. It is said that Capt. Nicholson, who was a republican, was very anxious to visit his family in Indiana, but fearing that if he left his duties to make the visit he would lose his position, he became depressed in spirit and ended his life. THE VIGILANT’S MISHAP. Bow She Lost Her Centerboard When dost About to Start In a Race.

A GLOOMY VIEW* Chinese Lmtne Faith Is the fnsprcRaabilItjr of Wei- Hal-Wei—rorelirn Workmen LmtIbc Their Arsenal*. and the Feelln* Acalatt Then KoodIbc Hlfh. Si London, Aug. 20.—The Shanghai correspondent of the Central News gives a gloomy view of affairs at Wei-Hai-Wei, the fortified city on the Shan Tung promontory. There is little^ doubt that the Japanese intend to attack this Chinese stronghold shortly, despite the tradition of the Chinese* that the place is impregnable. The lights along the promontory have been extinguished and the buoys have betas removed, and the Chinese are constantly adding to the defenses by laying torpedoes and submarine mines. ' \ Nevertheless, on three successive nights last week Japanese tornedo boats entered the harbor and recent noitered the forts. The crews of the Chinese torpedo boats, which He in the harbor, had no inkling of the nearness of the enemy until the Japanese vessels wefig leaving. The Wei-Hai-Wei forts then opened fire, but it was too late to accomplish anything. The success of these three Japanese expeditions has shaken greatly the confidence of the army in the impregnability of Wei-Hai-Wei. The supposition is that the Japanese are preparing for a combined land and sea attack on the stronghold. The garrison is being increased to meet such an attack and heavy guns are being added to the artillery in the interior line of defenses.

The foreigners who were employed in the Wei-Hai-Wei arsenal are leaving the place. Nearly all the Englishman and Scotchmen have gone, and within a few days only natives are likely to he left in the shops. The feeling against foreigners is running high among the military in the city. The soldiers have fired several times upon foreigners who were leaving the shops, and have been checked only with' difficulty be their officers. Often the foreigners are insulted as they depart. None of them have been wounded as yet, but their escape has been almost solely due to the strenuous efforts of the officers who have been charged with the responsibility for their safety. The main "Japanese squadron has been sighted again in the gulf of Pe Chi Li. ' : The natives of the seaports have been forbidden t^use Japanese coins. THE EZETA CASE. The Warrants for His Arrest Not Yet Arrived from Washinicton. San Francisco, Aug. 18.—The warrants upon which it is supposed Gen. Ezeta will be arrested have not yet reached the city. Attorneys who represent the Salvadorean government have not heard from them, and the federal officials are in the dafk even as to the status of the case. The first discussion of the matter between officials occurred this morning when United States District Attorney Garler visited the office of Commissioner Heacock. He discussed the Ezeta case and said that unless the government had discovered that it had made a mistake in giving Ezeta asylum on the Bennington, and intended to restore the case to its original status by taking him back to San Salvador, he would have to be tried here. The fact that the Bennington had remained outside territorial jurisdiction made it impossible to reach him by any process; but, should he be landed, it would not require a warrant from Washington to effect his arrest. He could be apprehended on complaint of any one and examined as to the charges against him. An indictment for crimes with wljich he is charged would make a prima facie case against him, but otherwise it would be necessary to produce witnesses to the crime. It is understood that there are such witnesses now in this city.

DODSON WON The Great Twenty-Five Mile Rond Race at Denver. Denver, Col., Aug. 20.—At 10:07 o’clock yesterday morning the great twenty-five mile road race was started over the Sand Creek-Brighton course, under a cloudless sky. There were nearly 100 entries and the greatest enthusiasm was manifested.
