ORIGINAL EAGLE S JL JnLJLlj ing of the Senate committee on judiciary to- morrow morning, when tbe nomination of Judge Woods is to be taken up, and then ask for a postponement of considera- tion, on the ground that they had not been given timely notice to at near to submit their arguments against confirmation. It is understood to-nig- ht that they will be present at the meeting to-morro- w, having been informed that should they not appear, after notice was posted to them as long ago as last Tuesday, the committee would re- port the nomination, tbcro having been no proper objection filed demanding considera- tion. The following appeared in to-day- 's Washington Post, ard shows that the two Indiana Senators ur their friends have not ceased to conduct their warfare against Judge Woods through the columns of the newspapers and by an appeal to prejudico rather than the sober judgment of the Sen- ate committee on judiciary, tbe tribunal which is to first pass judgment: "Senator Voorhees, who has been in Indi- ana for two weeks, will return to-morr- ow prepared for his fight against the confirma- tion of the appointment of Judge Woods to the new circuit judgeship. Senator Voorbees and his colleague, Senator Tnrpie, will mako this fisbt a hot one from the outset. The discussion of this matter in the executive session of the Senate may lead to a review of the campaign of 1S8S in Indiana. The ehartres which the Senator from Indiana will bring against Judge Woods will, it is said, be supported by copies of court rec- ords in Indiana and statements decidedly sensational in their character. It remains to be seen whether or not this attack upon a Republican nominee will precipitate an assault upon Judge Dallas, the Democratic member of the court chosen by the Presi- dent from Pennsylvania, and against whose appointment some Republican opposition has been manifested." It . understood that every possible effort will be made to secure a postponement of action by the committee, so that, should there not be a report made to tee becate upon the nomination, it will not necessarily mean that the objections raised or charges submitted are of a serious nature. Sena-toi- s Voorhees and Turpie have had almost a month in which to formulate their pro- ceedings against th& nomination of Judge Woods.

Of course the agitation of the ques- tion can go on in and out of Congress for an indefinite length of time without really accomplishing anv practical results, but if a monetary conference can agree upon some plan which would receive the approval of tho countries interested, tho whole ques- tion mar be satisfactorily settled. I do not think this agitation that is going on now is doing any good, but that it is doing harm all the time, whereas the other might bring about a satisfactory result. As to the time when the congress should be held, I have not given that subject any particu- lar attention." "But I am in favor, acd have' been for a long time, of a conference between the principal commercial countries of the world with a view of establishing a com- mon ratio and restortmg the use of silver as one of the money metals. I believe in the use of both gold and silver, and if the con- ditions were reversed, and gold were at "a discount as compared with silver. 1 would be in favor of such measures as would re- store thsm to paritv." What do yon think of the prospects of the passage or the measure proposed!" "1 think that the measure, if properly framed, will pass both houses, although, in my opiuion, what are known as the ultra free-coinag- e men would oppose it. 1 do not think it is good policy for tbe Demo- cratic party to adopt a free-coins- ge platform, for the very obvious reason that there is a division in tbe party itself upon that question. In fact, it is a policy which ought not to bo adopted without tbe gravest consideration. I do not consider that the silver question has a9 yet received adequate .consider-atio- n from tho people of the country. I think that the people generally have given it a superficial examination, and have come to their conclueions largely upon what they supposed to be a necessity for a larger volume of circulation, without much re- gard to the real merits of this particnl&r proposition." SOMEBODY nAS LIED, And That Imputation la Not Resting; on the American 8allors, Either. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 10. Intense feeling is again aronsed as the reports come in of the testimony given Dy tbe sailors of the United States cruiser Baltimore. On the face of the testimony the outrage is more grave than was first stated, and if it were not for the flat contradictions coming from Chili there would be little further delay in President Harrison's special message. It was reported to-d-ay that the message would be sent to Congress to-morro- w, but that is not at all probable, as it will not be pre- pared until the officers as well as the sail- ors have testified and Judge Advocate-gener- al Remy has submitted his report or given telegraphic indication of the general conclusions. It is already apparent from the testimony thus far taken that there will be . an irreconcilable differeno be- tween the two governments on the ques- tion of facts. One' side or the other has lied, and the natnral disposition here is not to discredit the version given by the American sailors. The official documents which Minister Montt handed to Mr. Blaine the other day as giving the findings of the Chilian procurator fiscal, stated that the Baltimore incident originated in a brawl between intoxicated sailors, and further, that "the police did all they were directed to do in suppressing the disorder." But it is contended by the authorities that the Baltimore sailors directly con- tradict this Chilian version, as they agree that the incident did not originate in a brawl, but in a preconcerted conspiracy, which, was carried into effect by attacks on the Americans at five or six points in Valparaiso at tbe same moment. Moreover, the sailors 6ay the Valparaiso police con- tributed totheattacK and the Indignities, Congressmen who have called on the Presi- dent say that he is watching the daily de- velopments of the inquiry at Vallejo, and that he now feels more than ever that the attack on our sailors was due to malice toward Americans as a nation, and not to the individuals concerned. Furthermore, it is said the President is growing tired of Chilian legal methods of redress. It turns out the procurator fiscal's investi- gation is merely preliminary and similar to the indictment of a grand jury in this country. The trial of the otlonders is yet to come, and it may be many months be- fore a verdict is reached. It is very doubt- ful if the President will consent to await tho tedious methods of Chilian courts. Sailors Foully Slardered. San Fhancisco, Jan. 10. United States District Attorney Carter, who has been as- sisting Judge Advocato-cener- al Remy in the Baltimore investigation, at Vallejo, said to-nigh- t: "There is no doubt but that Riggiu and Turnbull were foully murdered, that the assaults on the Americans were unprovoked, and that many were outra- geous. The testimony points very strongly to the' fact that while ' the at- tack resulted from a quarrel between Riggin, Talbot and a Chilian sailor, it was seized upon by the Chilian nub as a pre- text for a general attack. It was also fully shown that the police and soldiers in Chi- lian uniforms made little effort to dispel the crowd and protect the Americans, and that they even joined in tbe assault. Al- though there were instances of arrests made, and even of protection given to American sailors during that time, 1 still affirm that Riggin and Turnbull were foully murdered." NOT EARNING THEIR SALARIES. The New Congress All Tangled Up and Noth- ing Being Accomplished. Washington, Dec. 10. The Fifty-secon- d Congress is now in the second month of its existence, yet it has not materially ad- vanced any legislation, nor is the present week likely to work any change in this particular. The Senate is waiting on the House, where the appropriation bills must originate; and, in the absence of rules con- ferring tho necessary authority, the House committees are unable to report any measures on the calendars. There is noth- ing of general interest (unless tho old Weil and L'Abra bills may be thus characteri- zed), and there is little prospect of reports coming from committees at an early day in the week, so that beyond listening to speeches and considering nominations in executive session there will be little for tbe Senate to do. The House has no pro-sram- me of business for this week. It is still embarked on the sea of "general par- liamentary practice7 and until 4 code of rules be framed tbe course of tbe proceed- ings will depend on tbe conditions that arise from day to day. The committees nave as yet done nothing more than effect an organization, so that it is unlikely that any measure will be on the House calen- dars in season for action before the next week. -- r Under the temporary order of the House, made to facilitate business prior to the adoption of a full set of rules, Monday will be devoted to the introduction of bills un- der a call of tbe States. The committee on accounts expects to report early in the week a resolution making the usual assign- ment of clerkships to committees. There is some opposition to tho allowance of clerks to the smaller committees, which may lead to a prolonged debate on the ne- cessity for economy in expenditures. Mr. Blount, chairman of the foreign af- fairs committee, has moved a reconsidera- tion of the vote by which the House refused concurrence in the benate resolution mak- ing an appropriation to charter a supply vessel for tbe relief of Russian famine suf- ferers, and if the opportunity comes he will endeavor to have tbe House agree to a ref- erence of the resolution to the foreign af- fairs committee.

Representative Springer Wants to Ileal the llreach on the Sliver Oaestlou. 5pf clal to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 10. An important phase of the silver question has just been developed, as a result of Mr. Springer's speech to the Business Men's Association, in New York, last Friday night At that time Mr Springer hinted that a certain project was on foot by which the silver question would bo so treated as to satisfy the peoplo of the West, North and South. He said, however, that tho project did not contemplate a free-coina- ge bilk These re- marks have occasioned much comment here, particularly among the silver men, who could not understand bow any project could bo adopted which would give satis- faction to every section of the country, and yet would not attempt to satisfy the radi- cal free-silv- er section. This speculation has brought put the ex- act details of Mr. Springer's plans for dis- posing of this very troublesome subject. It is nothing short of a programmo to have the entire silver question post- poned until an international monetary conference can be held in Chicaao, in 1803, asafeatnroof the Colombian exposition. Mr. Springer has already suggested his plan to a few of his intimate friends, and it will be laid before Uongress at an early date. Those who have known of the plan look npon it as a most adroit political move, for it is well recognized that there is au irreconcilable difference between the silver and the anti-silve- r Democrats of the House. Up to the time the Springer prop- osition was suggested there appeared to be no way of healing this' breach. The elec- tion of Crisp as Speaker made it wider than ever, as it gave the silver men an op- portunity to say that tbe defeat of Milts meant that the tariff was not to be tbe main issne to the exclusion of silver. It is the silver question, also, which has brought about the main division of sentiment among Democrats as to tho candidacy of Mr. Cleveland, for the silver Democrats cannot reconcile themselves to Mr. Cleveland's anti-silv- er views. MILK IN THE COCO AN UT. Speaker Crisp's coinage committee, com- posed overwhelmingly of free silver men, indicated further that the silver question would be precipitated on the House and cause party division on the eve of a presi- dential election. How to avoid this split has received the attention of Messrs. Gor- - manAIIill and many Ather shrewd party leaders, but they have thus far failed to hit npon a plan which would put off the per- plexing question and yet give satisfaction to all sides. But in this emergency Mr. Springer comes forward with what appears to be the most feasible means of dealing with the question. In President Harrison's recent message he said, in his treatment of finance: "1 have endeavored, by means of official and unoflicial agencies, to keep a close ob- servation of the state of public sentiment in Europe upon the question of bimetallism and monametallism, and have not found it to be such as to justify me in proposing an international con- ference." However, on this point Mr. Springer does not agree with the President, lie thinks that the best conclusion of the silver question can be reached by anlinter-nation- al conference, in Chicago, inlS'A at which the great money countries of tbe world would be represented. Tho disputed qnestions of tbe ratio between gold And silver, and' the proportion of each metal to be coined could be considered and an inter- national agreement arrived at if possible. Mr. Springer proposes, therefore, to submit a proposition to Congress directing the President of tbe United States to invite the nations of the world to this monetary conference in 193. With such a proposi- tion agreed to all parties and factions could put aside the prevailing silver question lor a time and wait for tho results of the in- ternational conference. Such is the project, as Mr. Springer him- self has outlined it, to some of his personal friends. It has notas yetreaohedthe ears of tbe radical silver men. and it is not known how they will view Mr. Springer's plan of choking off their hobby until 1803. Aside from the merits of the. proposed conference it will be conceded by politicians that Mr. Springer's idea is a most ingenious one for quieting factional disorders until after the presidential contest. With such a confer- ence agreed to there would be no longer any diver issue to harols Mr. Cleveland. Even the extreme silver men would be able to satisfy their constituents by point- ing ahead to the international conference. In short, the Springer programme, if car- ried out, would remove tho silver question from national politics for a year at least, and would thus put an end to one of the most troublesome factors in national af- fairs. HOW IT COULD BK DONE. Said Mr. Springer: "In view of tho fact that the Columbian exposition will be held in Chicago durfng the year 1803, and, there- fore, prior to the assembling of the first ses- sion of tbe next Congress, it seems most ap- propriate that this international congress should be held in that city during that time. This congress should be a popular one. It should be a congress, not a secret confer- ence or commission, as in the past, and should have a large representation from this government and tbe governments with which we maintain diplomatic relations. Its proceedings should be published the same as the proceedings of Congress, and representatives of tbe press should be ad- mitted to all its sessions. It would thus become a great educational occasion for the enligbtment, not only of tbe people of this country, but of all other countries in ref- erence to the subject to be considered by it. Tbe representatives on behalf of the United States shonld be appointed by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of tbe House of Representa- tives. At least more than four of whom should be members of tbe same political party, and who should represent, so far as possible, the different shades of opinion upon the coinage of sil- ver. Those appointed by the President of the Senate should be members of the Sen- ate and those by the Speaker of tbe House should be members of the present House of Representatives. It might be well also to authorize tbe Secretary of State and the Director of tbe Mint in office to act also as representatives from the United States. If international agreements could be secured upon the subjects mentioned, and if such agreements could meet tbe approval of e.ven some of the leading nations of the earth, this would be the greatest achievement of the century. But if none ct such agreements oould be secured the education npon the subject which will result I from the publication of the proceedmgsof the congress woulfif nabe our own Congress when it assembles in De- cember. 18Va, to ttaci) a conclusion upon the subject ot Mltey coinage that would best promote the" interest ot our owu peo- -. pie," Senator Carlisle was jeen by yonr corre- spondent and askvfluj .views of . th ; wif- - La Grippo Flainly Shows that It Will Kot Co a Respecter of Fersons.

A Supposed Pasting Cold Develops Into Influenza and Pneumonia. tSrcclalto tl.e Indianapolis JoarcaJ, London, Jan. 10. Alarm has been caused in the royal household by the serious ill- ness of the Duke of Clarence and Avon-dal- e, eldest son of the Prince of Wales. The Duke has been showing signs of illness for some days, but it was hoped he Lad nothing more than a passing cold. Yester- day and to-da- y, however, it has become ap- parent that tbe Dnke has a severe attack of influenza, and that it is complicated with pneumonia. This combination has proved fatal in so many instanoes of late that the royal family feel an anxiety greater, perhaps, than tbe same attack would nnder ordinary circumstances ex- cite. Among the people, also, tbe news of the Duke's illness arouses more sympathy than would have been the case a month ago. before bis engagement to Prince as Mary of Teckhad been announced. Tho Dnke has been much more popular since It became known that he was to marry for love a woman of English birth. So serious is the present attack that all appointments made by the Prince have been canceled, and tbe marriage, ap- pointed lor the 27th of February, for which great preparations are beiug made, will, of course, depend npon his recovery. When the news of her lover's condition was car- ried to the Princess she showed the deepest anxiety and wanted to go immediately to his side. Inquiries are pouring in from all quarters as to the Duke's condition. Should tbe Dnke become a victim of the disease which has been playing havoo in England and on the continent, his place as to heir to the throne, after the Prince of Wales, would be taken by the sailor prince, Qeorge, who is a .more popular favorite than auy other member of the royal family. Already there is speculation on this sub- ject, although at present there is no reason to apprehend a fatal result of tho Duke'a malady. The Plague In London. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal London, Jan. 10. There is no abatement of tbe plague of influenza in London, and the hospitals are taxed to their utmost ca- pacity in accommodating tho numerous cases pouring in upon them. Matters are made worse by the fact that a number ol regular physicians on the staff of almost every hospital are stricken down with the disease and unable to perform their share of the increased work. Many of tbe stu- dents at Guy's Hospital, too, have fallen victims to the prevailing Private practitioners aro also overwhelmed by the number of influenza cases to which they aro summoned. The leading physicians, whose patients are of the class willing and even anxious to imploy trained nurses, re- port it impossible to till the demand for such attendants. Skilled nurses can com- mand their own price, and it their number was many times multiplied all could ob- tain good places. Mlas Medill, or Chicago, Dead. Pais, Jan. 10. The sudden and unex- pected death of Miss Josephine Florence Medill, the youngest daughter of Joseph Medill. editor of the Chicago Tribune, oc- curred here to-da-y. Miss MediU's illness had been almost trifling. Last month she had an attack of the grip or influenza, and had, it was thought, fully recovered. Last Friday she was well enough for a drive, but the exposure induced a relapse, and she gradually succumbed to a fatal conges- tion of the lungs. STILL TItADLNG IK SLAVES. The Sultan or Morocco Fromnlates Grars Charges Agalnkt llrltUh Offlclala. Special to tlie Indianapolis Journal. London, Jan. 10. A sensation has been caused by the publication of a letter from a gentleman whose position gives him op- portunity lor knowing the inside history of affairs in Morocco, and who hints at tho probability of interesting rovelations be- ing made as a result of the present im- broglio between Ecsland. France. Italy and Spain in connection with the Tangier rebellion. The writer says the Sultan of Morocco is incensed at the action of tho foreign representatives resident in his do- minions, especially against the British. This ill feeling is not without justification, as will appear when all the facts aro known, if they ever are. Why," aeks the Sultan, "If England has determined to crush slavery, does she ap- point a slave-deal-er to reside as an official at one of my citieef' This mnst be admit- ted to beapertineut inquiry, not only from a Moroccan point ot view, but in any lighl in which it may be ciamined. Tbe Sultan izocs on to propound other embarrassing qnestiors. "Why," he asks, "does England claim exemption from taxation on commer- cial transactions in slaves! Why does she imprison my subjects, and torture and even murder them; in other cases being content with extorting ransom from them, their only crime being that they have publicly approved my action in only exercising my sovereign riants! This probably may lead to the discovery of what has long been suspected in certain quarters, namely, that some British ofliciat in Morocco has been abusing his position tc enrich himself by engaging clandestinely in the slave-trad- e, ihc Moorish ollicials have been afraid to interfere, not knowing bowfarthe British government would go in defending its representative, who could easily make out a prima facie case of inno- cence. Investigation will, itis thought by mauy.shovrs that not only the English, but other representatives have been guilty of the practices complained of by the bultan. A SOCPASESn JCDITIL How a Deaatlful Girl or the Mahdl's I fared Took Her Revengci , Special to the Indiana jolls Journal. London. Jan. 11. Father Ohrwalder, the Austrian missionary, who recently escaped from captivity among the Mahdists, tells a thrilling story as to how tbe orig- inal Mahdi came to die, like Hoi-ferne- r. by tbe hands of a Soudanese Judith. The father of tho woman who slew tbe Mahdi was a respectable citizen of Khartoum. When the father was cap- tured tbe dervishes butchered his younger children and euelaved his wife, and seized his property. Ibe daughter, a girl of unusual beauty, wai taken by the Mahdi to be an inmate of bis harem. Tbe Mahdi. although known to tho general body of his fol- lowers as an ascetic, really led- - a licentious life, and usually selected the more beautiful captives as an addition to his numerous wives. The young woman pretended to submit without a murmur, but she enter- tained ft deep purpose of' revenge for th4 o o OFF NO W WHEN Overcoats ELUE BLOOD IX THE DOCK. Alleged Swedish Count with a Clever Tongue for larnins Cornea to Grief. New York. Jan. 10. A young and cood- - lookihg Swede giving bis name as Count Clarence von Hosen, of Stockholm, was ar- raigned in the Yorkville Folice Court to- day on complaint of Martin Suva,- - who keeps a Swedish boarding-hous- e and intel- ligence office at No. 408 Third avenue. The Count is charged both with obtaining money under false pretenses and grand larceny. Suva stated to the court that he met the prisoner on Dec 5 and was told by him he was a member of a wealthy Swedish family, but was in temporary hard luck. His grandmother, he said, was Mrs. Clara 13. Moore, of 510 Broad street. Philadelphia, who was worth millions of dollars, and who bad promised him a Christmas present of $500. lie also told Suva that Thomas. Hill, of Chicago, a prominent citi- zen and philanthropist, was his uncle, and showed papers representing numerous financial transactions, including an f 8,000 mortgage on Denver property. The Count also showed Suva five certifi- cates of stock in tbe Illinois Building and Loan Association, of Bloomington, 111., for 100 each, which he represented were fully paid up and negotiable. This stock he of-- f erred to Suva for $338, and Suva took it, paying $33 down and promising the balanca in a few days. Meanwhile he communi- cated with the secretary of the association, and pending an answer not only boarded the Count but also liquidated an old board-bi- ll of $50. The Count explained to Suva that the reason he was willing to sell the certificates was because he was engaged to marry his cousin, a beautiful girl, of At- lanta, Ga., worth $200,000 in her own right, and be wanted to consummate the engage- ment as speedily as possible. A few days ago Suva received an answer from the sec- retary of tbe building association inform- ing him that the certificates were worth- less. Then Suva had him arrested. Justice Kyan remanded tbe Count for examination to-morro- w. IELL0W FEVER ABOARD. Six of a British Steamer's Crew Attacked by tho Disease and Four Pie. Special to tbe Indlanapolia Journal. New York, Jan. 10. Captain Lawson, of the British steamer Moorish Frince, which arrived at quarantine early this morning, reports that six members of the steamer's crew had tfeen sick with yellow fever, four of whom died. The steamer arrived at Santos, Nov. 11, and remained there until tho 2oth of the same month, when she 6ailed for Rio Janeiro. A fireman was stricken with the fever on the day before sailing for Rio Janeiro, lie was sent ashore to the hospital. The steamer en- tered the harbor of Rio Janeiro Nov. 26. The same day the chief mate, John Hughes, was taken to the hospital, where he 'died Nov. SO. At the same time Hughes was taken sick Willy Tachn, a German seaman, was also stricken with the dread disease and transferred with the mate to the hos- pital. Nov. 28 the second engineer, George Cairncross. of Dundee, Scotland, was at- tacked. He died Deo. 2. The third engin- eer, Robert Richardson, of England, was taken sick on Dec. 2 and died the next day. before be could be removed from the steamer to the hospital at Rio Janeiro. Deo. 5 the engineer's steward was also taken sick. He was transferred to the hos- pital, and the steamer sailed for New York the next day. touching at St. Lncia Dee. 80. No other cases have occurred. The steamer is detained at quarantine for disinfection. CONGREGATION ASPHIXIATED. Worshipers in an Ohio Chnrch Seriously Orerccrae by Inhaling Natural Gas. Tiffin, O., Jan. 10. While services wero being held in Grace Reformed Church, this morning, a young woman suddenly fainted. She was carried out, and when she reached the open .air her body became stiff. Her face was pale and she had the appearance of a dead person. A few seconds after she was taken sick four of the members of the church fainted and were carried to the parsonage. The cold air bad the same effect on them as it did on the first victim. Physicians were immediately summoned, and the sutlerers were restored to consciousness with great difficulty. It is supposed that all will recover. Tho physicians say that the people were as- phyxiated by natural gas escaping from a flue in the church. The entire congrega- tion was affected, and many are still Butter- ing. Dr. Hilschman, pastor of the church, is unable to preach this evening, and is completely prostrated from the effects of tho gas. - WOE-STRICK- EN FAMILY.

Borman, of No. 1127 West Mulberry street, buried their old- est son, who died on Friday from diph-theret- ic croup. Twelve hours later Marie, their daughter, who was recovering from diphtheria, died from the effects of a dose of carbolic acid, given by the child's moth- er in mistake for medicine. Carbolic acid was used as a disinfectant throughout tbe bouse, and Mrs. JJorman administered a teaspoonful of it to little Marie, supposing she was using prescribed medicine. For hours the distracted parents and physi- cians worked over the child, but without avail. As a result of their double loss tbe parents are very ill, and under the con- stant care of physicians.

This was a day of mourning at Krebs, the scene of the recent mining disaster, in which so many men lost their lives. The funerals of most of the victims whose bodies have been recovered were held to-da- y. There were no religious services, excepting in a few cases, and the only ceremony observed in connection with the funerals was that of secret organizations, of which most of the victims were members. Fifteen of the dead bodies were buried yesterday. All the coffins available then -w- cr-csd,-aBd the other burials were delayed until to-da- y, when coffins were received by express from the nearest towns in the neighborhood. The caskets were of tbe simplest selection, and were furnished by the mining com-pan- y. There was only one hearse in the town of Krebs, so tnat it was necessary to use every sort of vehicle to convey the bodies to the cemetery. Ordinary "lumber wagons'' were the greatest in number do- ing duty as f ancral carriages, and in some cases "dump" carts from the mines were brought iuto requisition. The funerals took place at 10 o'clock this morning, thirty-seve- n bodies being placed under the ground. The graves of the identified dead were marked by plain head-stone- s of wood, with the names and ages printed thereon. The nnidentiiied were piaced in graves by number. Their clothes found upon them and the contents of their pockets were retained by the min- ing officials, and are all marked with num- bers corresponding to tbe respective num- bers of the graves for tbe purpose of future identification. Death added three more victims to the list of killed to-da- y, making tbe total num- ber fifty-eigh- t. A canvass among the phy- sicians attending the injured discloses the fact that the deaths of seventeen more are likely to occur within the next tweDty-- f oar hours. Those who died to-da- y were S. Powell, Albert Arlinger and Emanuel Lorenzo. Tho rescuing parties discon- tinued their work to-da- y at noon, having satisfied themselves that there were no more bodies buried in the debris. They are also satisfied that there are none of their comrades within the chambers of the mine. Every pile of debris was thoroughly searched, and every gallery and chamber investigated. No more bodies werf found, ind no signs of life were found. The joint committee of miners and mine officials will begin to-morr- the official investigation as to the cause of the acci- dent. THE WAR IN KANSAS. Uneasy Feeling Disappearing and Guilty Men Lyiriff Loir, Waitincrfor Judicial Action. Special to the Ioi:acapoU Journal. Akkalon. Kan., Jan. 10. The permanent presence of troops has removed all further apprehensions of trouble in this section. The uneasy feelingof last week has all disap- peared, and men ore resuming their usual vocations as if nothing had happened, con- tent tnat the courts should settle all dis- putes. The sheriff contest settled in favor of the contestor. while leaving that office in possession of the friends of Judge Bot-ki- n, h;is no particular significance lor the six prisoners now held under suspicion of being connected with the murder of Dunn. Only two will be held for trial, Anderson and Lech, they having been recognized by Sheriff (iuy man and others who were at- tacked by the mob. No more of the thirty warrants will at present be issued, as the county attorney does not have evidence that will hold them. The warrants were based upon suspicion, only, at the time of great excitement. It having been revealed that the witness Hutchinson, who is sup- posed to have given the conspiracy away, might be in danger, be will bs removed to a place of safety as soon as possible. m m The 3IcKlnly Inauguration. Colttmuus, 0., Jan. 10. Several clubs and military organizations arrived to-da- y to participate in the inaugural exercises of Governor McKinley w. The main body of the organizations are expected to- morrow, iucluding the Blaine and Lincoln clubs, of Cincinnati, and tbe Garfield Club, of Davton,4cO in number. Preparations have been made for the accommodation of the visitors, and it is expected the parade will be one of the largest which has accom- panied any inauguration of a Governor of Ohio. Major McKinley attended chnrch at Wesley M. K. to-da-y, and, escorted by the Cleveland Grays and tho Euclid Light Guards, of Cleveland, attended services at Trinity Episcopal. Murdered Hie Step-So- n. Chicago, Jan. 10. Frank V. Locke, a saloon-keepe- r at Larabeeand Oak streets, snot and instantly killed his stepson, Jo- seph Kawales. shortly before 11 o'clock last niubt. Kawalee was a tough character, and Locke claims the shooting was done in self -- defense, The South Dakota Blan Coming Back Intu the Fold. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 10. Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, who voted with Senators Plumb and Paddock against the McKinley tariff bill, says he will hereafter be found in a straight line with bis party on all tariff, issues. He says: "I voted against the conference report on the McKinley bill because I believed that tho report in fail- ing to make certain concessions demanded by the people of the Northwest, had done us a wrong. 1 hoped that tbe conference report would be defeated in order that in the reconsideration of the matter our claims would be recognized. I am certainly a Iirotectionist. and not, as some supposed, a "Then the Democrats are not altogether sale in counting upon you to vote for free wool, free binding-twin- e and free every- thing else?" "If they are doing that," was the Sena- tor's reply, "they will get cold comfort from me." Senator Pettigrew is being urged as the representative of the Northwest on the ap- propriation committee, although he has has taken no steps himself in this direc- tion. He believes, as do a large number of Western Senators, that the large amount of power and responsibility now vested in tbe Senate committee on appropriations is alto- gether out of proportion to the small num- ber of Senators on the committee. Per- sonally. Senator Pettigrew is in favor of the division of the appropriation bills among the several appropriate committees, as is done in the House. "I believe." he says, "that such a change would be con- ducive to economy, and would certainly put the appropriation bills in tbe hands of men thoroughly fitted to deal with them." MINOR MATTERS. Talking-Matc- h for tbe Position of Reading Clerk of the House. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 10. Tests in the con- test for appointment to the very difficult and trying position of reading clerk have been going on ever since the House organ- ized last month. On the start there were about forty aspirants. That number has now narrowed down to four men with po- sitions in waiting for two of them. Promi- nent in tbe contest is Mr. William J. Houchtaling, of Albany, N. Y., a descend- ant of the distinguished Dutch family of Houghtalings. He was a friend of the late Secretary Manning, and filled for a long while the important position of examiner of civil service examinations in tho Treas- ury Department. May Abolish the Fee System. Washington, ;Jan. 10. An effort will be made by a number of Democratio Repre- sentatives in Congress to have the appro- priations committee recommend that the fee system in federal offices be abolished so far as can well be done. A number of Con- gressmen, especially in the Southern States, urge that the certainness of the fee system results in much hardship to people in their States through deputy marshals and other court officers straining the laws for the purpose of making cases in courts, and thereby increasing the emoluments of their offices. It is nrged that the government would really save a great deal of money by paying salaries to such employes as are necessary in fee offices and requiring that all fees shall be turned into the United States Treasury. Vigorons opposition, however, is expected to this reform, and the appropriations committee has not yet got to work, so that it is uncertain what will be the outcome. Treasury Agents Exonerated. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 10. The Treasury Department has exonerated, after investi- gation, tbe special agents of the Treasury Department from all blame in connection with the reappraisement of goods imported by McCreery & Co., of New York. Secre- tary Foster, in this connection, took oc- casion to say that Supervising Special Agent Tingle possessed his entire con- fidence as an honest and trustworthy official. General News. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 10. The general pas- senger agents of the C. & O., B. & O. and Pennsylvania railroads have agreed, at a meeting here, to give half-far- e rates over their lines to the G. A. R. reunion hero next fall. Senator and Mrs. Calvin 8. Brice will re- side at the Arlington during the season. Mrs. Brice made her bow to New York so- ciety about a week ago at a ball given by her parents at C93 Fifth avenue. The Alr-Brak- es Wouldn't Work. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Steubenville, O., Jan. 10. WThat might have been a bad passenger wreck occurred on the Panhandle road here, at 1 o'clock this morning. The first section of a train stopped here to cool a number of hot jour- nals. While lying here, the second section came living around the curve and crashed into the vestibule sleeper Venetia, in wnich there were five passengers, who were in the front end of the car. No one was in- jured other than being badly frightened and jolted. The wreck was a result of dis- regard of signals, as the red block was turned east, showing that tho train was on the track. Engineer Caniff saw the signal, he says, and whistled down brakes and ap- plied the air-brake- s, which refused to work- - Dullness Embarrassments. Marshall, Ma. Jan. 10.

ing of the Senate committee on judiciary to-morrow morning, when tbe nomination ofJudge Woods is to be taken up, and thenask for a postponement of considera-tion, on the ground that they had not beengiven timely notice to at near to submittheir arguments against confirmation. Itis understood to-nig- ht that they will bepresent at the meeting to-morro- w, havingbeen informed that should they not appear,after notice was posted to them as long agoas last Tuesday, the committee would re-port the nomination, tbcro having been noproper objection filed demanding considera-tion. The following appeared in to-day- 's

Washington Post, ard shows that the twoIndiana Senators ur their friends have notceased to conduct their warfare againstJudge Woods through the columns of thenewspapers and by an appeal to prejudicorather than the sober judgment of the Sen-ate committee on judiciary, tbe tribunalwhich is to first pass judgment:

"Senator Voorhees, who has been in Indi-ana for two weeks, will return to-morr- ow

prepared for his fight against the confirma-tion of the appointment of Judge Woods tothe new circuit judgeship. Senator Voorbeesand his colleague, Senator Tnrpie, will makothis fisbt a hot one from the outset. Thediscussion of this matter in the executivesession of the Senate may lead to a reviewof the campaign of 1S8S in Indiana. Theehartres which the Senator from Indianawill bring against Judge Woods will, it issaid, be supported by copies of court rec-ords in Indiana and statements decidedlysensational in their character. It remainsto be seen whether or not this attack upona Republican nominee will precipitate anassault upon Judge Dallas, the Democraticmember of the court chosen by the Presi-dent from Pennsylvania, and against whoseappointment some Republican oppositionhas been manifested."

It . understood that every possible effortwill be made to secure a postponement ofaction by the committee, so that, shouldthere not be a report made to tee becateupon the nomination, it will not necessarilymean that the objections raised or chargessubmitted are of a serious nature. Sena-toi- s

Voorhees and Turpie have had almosta month in which to formulate their pro-ceedings against th& nomination of JudgeWoods.

replied the Senator, "that it is the onlypractical thing that can be oone a uimtime. Of course the agitation of the ques-tion can go on in and out of Congress foran indefinite length of time without reallyaccomplishing anv practical results, but if amonetary conference can agree upon someplan which would receive the approval oftho countries interested, tho whole ques-tion mar be satisfactorily settled. I donot think this agitation that is going onnow is doing any good, but that it is doingharm all the time, whereas the other mightbring about a satisfactory result. As tothe time when the congress should be held,I have not given that subject any particu-lar attention."

"But I am in favor, acd have' been for along time, of a conference between theprincipal commercial countries of theworld with a view of establishing a com-mon ratio and restortmg the use of silveras one of the money metals. I believe in theuse of both gold and silver, and if the con-ditions were reversed, and gold were at "adiscount as compared with silver. 1 wouldbe in favor of such measures as would re-store thsm to paritv."

What do yon think of the prospects ofthe passage or the measure proposed!"

"1 think that the measure, if properlyframed, will pass both houses, although, inmy opiuion, what are known as the ultrafree-coinag- e men would oppose it. 1 donot think it is good policy for tbe Demo-cratic party to adopt a free-coins- ge

platform, for the very obvious reasonthat there is a division in tbe party itselfupon that question. In fact, it is a policywhich ought not to bo adopted withouttbe gravest consideration. I do notconsider that the silver question hasa9 yet received adequate .consider-atio- n

from tho people of the country. Ithink that the people generally have givenit a superficial examination, and have cometo their conclueions largely upon what theysupposed to be a necessity for a largervolume of circulation, without much re-gard to the real merits of this particnl&rproposition."

SOMEBODY nAS LIED,

And That Imputation la Not Resting; on theAmerican 8allors, Either.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.Washington, Jan. 10. Intense feeling is

again aronsed as the reports come in of thetestimony given Dy tbe sailors of theUnited States cruiser Baltimore. On theface of the testimony the outrage is moregrave than was first stated, and if it werenot for the flat contradictions coming fromChili there would be little further delayin President Harrison's special message. Itwas reported to-d-ay that the message wouldbe sent to Congress to-morro- w, but thatis not at all probable, as it will not be pre-pared until the officers as well as the sail-ors have testified and Judge Advocate-gener- al

Remy has submitted his report orgiven telegraphic indication of the generalconclusions. It is already apparent fromthe testimony thus far taken that therewill be . an irreconcilable differeno be-

tween the two governments on the ques-tion of facts. One' side or the other haslied, and the natnral disposition here isnot to discredit the version given by theAmerican sailors. The official documentswhich Minister Montt handed to Mr. Blainethe other day as giving the findings ofthe Chilian procurator fiscal, stated thatthe Baltimore incident originated in abrawl between intoxicated sailors, andfurther, that "the police did all they weredirected to do in suppressing the disorder."But it is contended by the authoritiesthat the Baltimore sailors directly con-tradict this Chilian version, as they agreethat the incident did not originate in abrawl, but in a preconcerted conspiracy,which, was carried into effect by attackson the Americans at five or six points inValparaiso at tbe same moment. Moreover,the sailors 6ay the Valparaiso police con-tributed totheattacK and the Indignities,Congressmen who have called on the Presi-dent say that he is watching the daily de-velopments of the inquiry at Vallejo, andthat he now feels more than ever that theattack on our sailors was due to malicetoward Americans as a nation, and not tothe individuals concerned. Furthermore,it is said the President is growingtired of Chilian legal methods of redress.It turns out the procurator fiscal's investi-gation is merely preliminary and similar tothe indictment of a grand jury in thiscountry. The trial of the otlonders is yetto come, and it may be many months be-fore a verdict is reached. It is very doubt-ful if the President will consent to awaittho tedious methods of Chilian courts.

Sailors Foully Slardered.San Fhancisco, Jan. 10. United States

District Attorney Carter, who has been as-

sisting Judge Advocato-cener- al Remy inthe Baltimore investigation, at Vallejo,said to-nigh- t: "There is no doubt but thatRiggiu and Turnbull were foully murdered,that the assaults on the Americans wereunprovoked, and that many were outra-geous. The testimony points very stronglyto the' fact that while ' the at-tack resulted from a quarrel betweenRiggin, Talbot and a Chilian sailor, it wasseized upon by the Chilian nub as a pre-text for a general attack. It was also fullyshown that the police and soldiers in Chi-lian uniforms made little effort to dispelthe crowd and protect the Americans, andthat they even joined in tbe assault. Al-though there were instances of arrestsmade, and even of protection given toAmerican sailors during that time, 1 stillaffirm that Riggin and Turnbull werefoully murdered."

NOT EARNING THEIR SALARIES.

The New Congress All Tangled Up and Noth-ing Being Accomplished.

Washington, Dec. 10. The Fifty-secon- d

Congress is now in the second month of itsexistence, yet it has not materially ad-vanced any legislation, nor is the presentweek likely to work any change in thisparticular. The Senate is waiting on theHouse, where the appropriation bills mustoriginate; and, in the absence of rules con-ferring tho necessary authority, theHouse committees are unable to report anymeasures on the calendars. There is noth-ing of general interest (unless tho old Weiland L'Abra bills may be thus characteri-zed), and there is little prospect of reportscoming from committees at an early day inthe week, so that beyond listening tospeeches and considering nominations inexecutive session there will be little fortbe Senate to do. The House has no pro-sram- me

of business for this week. It isstill embarked on the sea of "general par-liamentary practice7 and until 4 code ofrules be framed tbe course of tbe proceed-ings will depend on tbe conditions thatarise from day to day. The committeesnave as yet done nothing more than effectan organization, so that it is unlikely thatany measure will be on the House calen-dars in season for action before the nextweek. --r

Under the temporary order of the House,made to facilitate business prior to theadoption of a full set of rules, Monday willbe devoted to the introduction of bills un-der a call of tbe States. The committee onaccounts expects to report early in theweek a resolution making the usual assign-ment of clerkships to committees. Thereis some opposition to tho allowance ofclerks to the smaller committees, whichmay lead to a prolonged debate on the ne-cessity for economy in expenditures.

Mr. Blount, chairman of the foreign af-fairs committee, has moved a reconsidera-tion of the vote by which the House refusedconcurrence in the benate resolution mak-ing an appropriation to charter a supplyvessel for tbe relief of Russian famine suf-ferers, and if the opportunity comes he willendeavor to have tbe House agree to a ref-erence of the resolution to the foreign af-fairs committee.

a radical ritorosmox.Representative Springer Wants to Ileal the

llreach on the Sliver Oaestlou.5pf clal to tbe Indianapolis Journal.

Washington, Jan. 10. An importantphase of the silver question has just beendeveloped, as a result of Mr. Springer'sspeech to the Business Men's Association,in New York, last Friday night At thattime Mr Springer hinted that a certainproject was on foot by which the silverquestion would bo so treated as to satisfythe peoplo of the West, North and South.He said, however, that tho project did notcontemplate a free-coina- ge bilk These re-

marks have occasioned much commenthere, particularly among the silver men,who could not understand bow any projectcould bo adopted which would give satis-faction to every section of the country, andyet would not attempt to satisfy the radi-cal free-silv- er section.

This speculation has brought put the ex-

act details of Mr. Springer's plans for dis-posing of this very troublesome subject.It is nothing short of a programmo tohave the entire silver question post-poned until an international monetaryconference can be held in Chicaao, in 1803,asafeatnroof the Colombian exposition.Mr. Springer has already suggested hisplan to a few of his intimate friends, andit will be laid before Uongress at an earlydate. Those who have known of the planlook npon it as a most adroit politicalmove, for it is well recognized that there isau irreconcilable difference between thesilver and the anti-silve- r Democrats of theHouse. Up to the time the Springer prop-osition was suggested there appeared to beno way of healing this' breach. The elec-tion of Crisp as Speaker made it widerthan ever, as it gave the silver men an op-portunity to say that tbe defeat of Miltsmeant that the tariff was not to be tbemain issne to the exclusion of silver. It isthe silver question, also, which has broughtabout the main division of sentiment amongDemocrats as to tho candidacy of Mr.Cleveland, for the silver Democrats cannotreconcile themselves to Mr. Cleveland'santi-silv- er views.

MILK IN THE COCO AN UT.Speaker Crisp's coinage committee, com-

posed overwhelmingly of free silver men,indicated further that the silver questionwould be precipitated on the House andcause party division on the eve of a presi-dential election. How to avoid this splithas received the attention of Messrs. Gor- -manAIIill and many Ather shrewd partyleaders, but they have thus far failed to hitnpon a plan which would put off the per-plexing question and yet give satisfactionto all sides. But in this emergency Mr.Springer comes forward with what appearsto be the most feasible means of dealingwith the question. In President Harrison'srecent message he said, in his treatment offinance:

"1 have endeavored, by means of officialand unoflicial agencies, to keep a close ob-servation of the state of public sentimentin Europe upon the question of bimetallismand monametallism, and have notfound it to be such as to justify mein proposing an international con-ference." However, on this point Mr.Springer does not agree with the President,lie thinks that the best conclusion of thesilver question can be reached by anlinter-nation- al

conference, in Chicago, inlS'A atwhich the great money countries of tbeworld would be represented. Tho disputedqnestions of tbe ratio between gold Andsilver, and' the proportion of each metal tobe coined could be considered and an inter-national agreement arrived at if possible.Mr. Springer proposes, therefore, to submita proposition to Congress directing thePresident of tbe United States to invitethe nations of the world to this monetaryconference in 193. With such a proposi-tion agreed to all parties and factions couldput aside the prevailing silver question lora time and wait for tho results of the in-ternational conference.

Such is the project, as Mr. Springer him-self has outlined it, to some of his personalfriends. It has notas yetreaohedthe ears oftbe radical silver men. and it is not knownhow they will view Mr. Springer's plan ofchoking off their hobby until 1803. Asidefrom the merits of the. proposed conferenceit will be conceded by politicians that Mr.Springer's idea is a most ingenious one forquieting factional disorders until after thepresidential contest. With such a confer-ence agreed to there would be no longerany diver issue to harols Mr. Cleveland.Even the extreme silver men would beable to satisfy their constituents by point-ing ahead to the international conference.In short, the Springer programme, if car-ried out, would remove tho silver questionfrom national politics for a year at least,and would thus put an end to one of themost troublesome factors in national af-

fairs.HOW IT COULD BK DONE.

Said Mr. Springer: "In view of tho factthat the Columbian exposition will be heldin Chicago durfng the year 1803, and, there-fore, prior to the assembling of the first ses-

sion of tbe next Congress, it seems most ap-

propriate that this international congressshould be held in that city during that time.This congress should be a popular one. Itshould be a congress, not a secret confer-ence or commission, as in the past, andshould have a large representation fromthis government and tbe governments withwhich we maintain diplomatic relations.Its proceedings should be published thesame as the proceedings of Congress, andrepresentatives of tbe press should be ad-mitted to all its sessions. It would thusbecome a great educational occasion for theenligbtment, not only of tbe people of thiscountry, but of all other countries in ref-erence to the subject to be considered by it.Tbe representatives on behalf of theUnited States shonld be appointed by thePresident of the Senate and theSpeaker of tbe House of Representa-tives. At least more than four ofwhom should be members of tbesame political party, and who shouldrepresent, so far as possible, the differentshades of opinion upon the coinage of sil-ver. Those appointed by the President ofthe Senate should be members of the Sen-ate and those by the Speaker of tbe Houseshould be members of the present House ofRepresentatives. It might be well also toauthorize tbe Secretary of State and theDirector of tbe Mint in office to act also asrepresentatives from the United States. Ifinternational agreements could be securedupon the subjects mentioned, and if suchagreements could meet tbe approval of e.vensome of the leading nations of theearth, this would be the greatestachievement of the century. Butif none ct such agreements oould besecured the education npon the subjectwhich will result I from the publication ofthe proceedmgsof the congress woulfif nabeour own Congress when it assembles in De-cember. 18Va, to ttaci) a conclusion uponthe subject ot Mltey coinage that wouldbest promote the" interest ot our owu peo--.

GRIP ATTACKS IIOYALTY.

A Supposed Pasting Cold Develops IntoInfluenza and Pneumonia.

tSrcclalto tl.e Indianapolis JoarcaJ,London, Jan. 10. Alarm has been caused

in the royal household by the serious ill-ness of the Duke of Clarence and Avon-dal- e,

eldest son of the Prince of Wales.The Duke has been showing signs of illnessfor some days, but it was hoped he Ladnothing more than a passing cold. Yester-day and to-da- y, however, it has become ap-parent that tbe Dnke has a severe attackof influenza, and that it is complicatedwith pneumonia. This combination hasproved fatal in so many instanoes of latethat the royal family feel an anxietygreater, perhaps, than tbe same attackwould nnder ordinary circumstances ex-

cite. Among the people, also, tbe news ofthe Duke's illness arouses more sympathythan would have been the case a monthago. before bis engagement to Prince asMary of Teckhad been announced. ThoDnke has been much more popular sinceIt became known that he was to marry forlove a woman of English birth.

So serious is the present attack that allappointments made by the Prince havebeen canceled, and tbe marriage, ap-pointed lor the 27th of February, for whichgreat preparations are beiug made, will, ofcourse, depend npon his recovery. Whenthe news of her lover's condition was car-ried to the Princess she showed the deepestanxiety and wanted to go immediately tohis side. Inquiries are pouring in from allquarters as to the Duke's condition. Shouldtbe Dnke become a victim of the diseasewhich has been playing havoo in Englandand on the continent, his place as to heirto the throne, after the Prince of Wales,would be taken by the sailor prince,Qeorge, who is a .more popular favoritethan auy other member of the royal family.Already there is speculation on this sub-ject, although at present there is no reasonto apprehend a fatal result of tho Duke'amalady.

The Plague In London.Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal

London, Jan. 10. There is no abatementof tbe plague of influenza in London, andthe hospitals are taxed to their utmost ca-pacity in accommodating tho numerouscases pouring in upon them. Matters aremade worse by the fact that a number olregular physicians on the staff of almostevery hospital are stricken down with thedisease and unable to perform their shareof the increased work. Many of tbe stu-dents at Guy's Hospital, too, have fallenvictims to the prevailing Privatepractitioners aro also overwhelmed by thenumber of influenza cases to which theyaro summoned. The leading physicians,whose patients are of the class willing andeven anxious to imploy trained nurses, re-port it impossible to till the demand forsuch attendants. Skilled nurses can com-mand their own price, and it their numberwas many times multiplied all could ob-

curred here to-da-y. Miss MediU's illnesshad been almost trifling. Last month shehad an attack of the grip or influenza, andhad, it was thought, fully recovered.

The Sultan or Morocco Fromnlates GrarsCharges Agalnkt llrltUh Offlclala.

Special to tlie Indianapolis Journal.London, Jan. 10. A sensation has been

caused by the publication of a letter froma gentleman whose position gives him op-

portunity lor knowing the inside historyof affairs in Morocco, and who hints at thoprobability of interesting rovelations be-

ing made as a result of the present im-

broglio between Ecsland. France. Italyand Spain in connection with the Tangierrebellion. The writer says the Sultan ofMorocco is incensed at the action of thoforeign representatives resident in his do-

minions, especially against the British.This ill feeling is not without justification,as will appear when all the facts aroknown, if they ever are.

Why," aeks the Sultan, "If England hasdetermined to crush slavery, does she ap-point a slave-deal-er to reside as an officialat one of my citieef' This mnst be admit-ted to beapertineut inquiry, not only froma Moroccan point ot view, but in any lighlin which it may be ciamined. Tbe Sultanizocs on to propound other embarrassingqnestiors. "Why," he asks, "does Englandclaim exemption from taxation on commer-cial transactions in slaves! Why does sheimprison my subjects, and torture and evenmurder them; in other cases being contentwith extorting ransom from them, theironly crime being that they have publiclyapproved my action in only exercising mysovereign riants!

This probably may lead to the discoveryof what has long been suspected in certainquarters, namely, that some British ofliciatin Morocco has been abusing his position tcenrich himself by engaging clandestinelyin the slave-trad- e, ihc Moorish ollicialshave been afraid to interfere, not knowingbowfarthe British government would goin defending its representative, who couldeasily make out a prima facie case of inno-cence. Investigation will, itis thought bymauy.shovrs that not only the English, butother representatives have been guilty ofthe practices complained of by the bultan.

BAD DAY AT KREBS.

Funerals of Thirty-Seve- n Victims of the Mine 1

I) isister, with Onlj One Hearse.

McAlister. Ind. T.t Jan. 10. This wasa day of mourning at Krebs, the scene ofthe recent mining disaster, in which somany men lost their lives. The funerals ofmost of the victims whose bodies havebeen recovered were held to-da- y. Therewere no religious services, excepting in afew cases, and the only ceremony observedin connection with the funerals was thatof secret organizations, of which most ofthe victims were members. Fifteen of thedead bodies were buried yesterday. Allthe coffins available then -w- cr-csd,-aBd

the other burials were delayed until to-da- y,

when coffins were received by express fromthe nearest towns in the neighborhood.The caskets were of tbe simplest selection,and were furnished by the mining com-pan- y.

There was only one hearse in thetown of Krebs, so tnat it was necessary touse every sort of vehicle to convey thebodies to the cemetery. Ordinary "lumberwagons'' were the greatest in number do-ing duty as fancral carriages, and in somecases "dump" carts from the mines werebrought iuto requisition.

The funerals took place at 10 o'clock thismorning, thirty-seve- n bodies being placedunder the ground. The graves of theidentified dead were marked by plainhead-stone- s of wood, with the names andages printed thereon. The nnidentiiiedwere piaced in graves by number. Theirclothes found upon them and the contentsof their pockets were retained by the min-ing officials, and are all marked with num-bers corresponding to tbe respective num-bers of the graves for tbe purpose of futureidentification.

Death added three more victims to thelist of killed to-da- y, making tbe total num-ber fifty-eigh- t. A canvass among the phy-sicians attending the injured discloses thefact that the deaths of seventeen more arelikely to occur within the next tweDty-- foar hours. Those who died to-da- y were

S. Powell, Albert Arlinger and EmanuelLorenzo. Tho rescuing parties discon-tinued their work to-da- y at noon, havingsatisfied themselves that there were nomore bodies buried in the debris. Theyare also satisfied that there are none oftheir comrades within the chambers of themine. Every pile of debris was thoroughlysearched, and every gallery and chamberinvestigated. No more bodies werf found,ind no signs of life were found.

The joint committee of miners and mineofficials will begin to-morr- the officialinvestigation as to the cause of the acci-dent.

Senator Pettigrew,of South Dakota, who voted with SenatorsPlumb and Paddock against the McKinleytariff bill, says he will hereafter be foundin a straight line with bis party on alltariff, issues. He says: "I voted againstthe conference report on the McKinley billbecause I believed that tho report in fail-ing to make certain concessions demandedby the people of the Northwest, had doneus a wrong. 1 hoped that tbe conferencereport would be defeated in order that inthe reconsideration of the matter our claimswould be recognized.

"Then the Democrats are not altogethersale in counting upon you to vote for freewool, free binding-twin- e and free every-thing else?"

"If they are doing that," was the Sena-tor's reply, "they will get cold comfortfrom me."

Senator Pettigrew is being urged as therepresentative of the Northwest on the ap-propriation committee, although he hashas taken no steps himself in this direc-tion. He believes, as do a large number ofWestern Senators, that the large amount ofpower and responsibility now vested in tbeSenate committee on appropriations is alto-gether out of proportion to the small num-ber of Senators on the committee. Per-sonally. Senator Pettigrew is in favor ofthe division of the appropriation billsamong the several appropriate committees,as is done in the House. "I believe." hesays, "that such a change would be con-ducive to economy, and would certainlyput the appropriation bills in tbe hands ofmen thoroughly fitted to deal with them."

sitions in waiting for two of them. Promi-nent in tbe contest is Mr. William J.Houchtaling, of Albany, N. Y., a descend-ant of the distinguished Dutch family ofHoughtalings. He was a friend of the lateSecretary Manning, and filled for a longwhile the important position of examinerof civil service examinations in tho Treas-ury Department.

May Abolish the Fee System.Washington, ;Jan. 10. An effort will be

made by a number of Democratio Repre-sentatives in Congress to have the appro-priations committee recommend that thefee system in federal offices be abolished sofar as can well be done. A number of Con-gressmen, especially in the Southern States,urge that the certainness of the fee systemresults in much hardship to people in theirStates through deputy marshals and othercourt officers straining the laws for thepurpose of making cases in courts, andthereby increasing the emoluments of theiroffices. It is nrged that the governmentwould really save a great deal of money bypaying salaries to such employes as arenecessary in fee offices and requiring thatall fees shall be turned into the UnitedStates Treasury. Vigorons opposition,however, is expected to this reform, andthe appropriations committee has not yetgot to work, so that it is uncertain whatwill be the outcome.
