MINERS DROWNED.

Thirty-Seven Unfortunates Caught iu
a Flooded Mine.
The Mansfield mine, a few miles
from Crystal Falls, Mich., caved in
Thursday night and a number of
miners were entombed beyond hope of
rescue of any of them alive. The ac
cident occurred during the night,
The water of the river rushed into the
mine and the men were entrapped like
rats. It is not possible that any es
caped. Most of the victims are^Cor
nish men and nine-tenths of them are
men with large families. The number
of tllQ victims is now placed at thirty
seven. Mansfield is an isolated sta
railroad. G^n the The Chicago mine and Northwestern
was the only ac
tive one in the Crystal Falls district on
^ucount of its being a producer of
high-grade bessemer ore. It had a
producing capacity of about sixty
thousand tons per annum, and gave
employment to about one hundred
men - The Mansfield mine has always
been considered a dangerous one to
^ork in, and Thursday_night s disaster

predicted.

morning, a letter was read from the
secretary of the treasury in teply to e
resoliiijpn ttf inquiry, showing that
five million ounces of silver were ex¬
ported during July and August each.

govetnineUt that the priming offlce,and uirect

gan submitted ail amendment to the
repeal bill. It provides that citizens
of the United States are entitled to
aiul shall enjoy all the rights and priv¬
ileges defined in the act of January
16th, 1837, supplemental to the
act establishing the mint, and
to add to the Value afid seeti
riiy, of shell tights; the sectetary
of the treasury is required to deduct
from the custom duties that are or
may be imposed by law upon imports,
20 per cent, of such duties, when such
imports are made in United States
vessels or in vessels of the country
where such imported articles were
produced; provided stick (country
shall by law provide that the standard
silver dollars coined in the United
States mints and of the present stand¬
ard shall be legal tender for all debts,
public or private, in such country and
so long as such law's shall be maintain¬
ed in full force and effect. The re
peal bill was taken up, and Mr. Dolph
continued the speech begun Monday.
During its delivery Mr. Teller asked
Mr. Dolph if the Sherman act were
unconditionally repealed, would Mr.
Cleveland approve any legislation fa¬
vorable to silver, and Mr. Dolph re¬
plied that in such ease lie certainly
didn’t expect that the president would
approve a thing of that sort.
49tii Da ' -In the senate YVednes-.
day, Mr. Morgan, from the commit
tee on foreign affairs, reported back
without recommendation the bill mak

propriations. Mr. Peffer offered a
resolution for the appointment of a
committee of three senator!, to ascer¬
tain what legislation is needed to im¬
prove the banking system so that fi¬
nancial panics may be avoided, abetter
circulation of currency secured, and
the safety of deposits assured. It was
laid over till Thursday. Mr. Morgan
asked immediate consideration of the
resolution directing the judiciary com¬
mittee to inform tlie senate what pro¬
visions of the act of 1837, establishing
the mint and regulating coinage, are
still in force, and authorizing it to re¬
port by b 11 or otherwise. Mr. Mc¬
Pherson believed that the adoption of
the resolution would delay pending
financial legislation, and on liis objec¬
tion the proposition was laid over.
Tlie silver bill was then taken up and
Mr. Butler took the floor against the
repeal.
50th Day.— After a quarter of an
hour spent in morning business by
the senate, Thursday, the only feat¬
ure of which was a proposed amend¬
ment to the rules by Mr. Hill, author¬
izing senators paired and not voting
to be counted to make a quorum, the
senate went into executive session to

oeal bill was taken uji Monday morning
before a very small audience, and Mr.
Dinsmore took the floor in its advo
Cflev _ Mr. Benson, of Alabama, fol
lowed in the support of repeal. He
appealed to his fellow-members of the
north and south to help wipe from the
statute books laws so obnoxious to the
intelligent citizens and voters of the
great section he represents. Northern
men who were willing to invest money
in business in the south and trust the
business men there tocaje for it,
ought to be as willing to trust them to
enforce the laws regarding elections.
48th Day.— Tuesday., the house
without transacting any morning lms
iness, resumed the consideration of the
federal election repeal bill and was
addressed by Mr. Northway in oppo
sition to the measure. He was always
ne said, in favor of the under dog in
the fight, and iu this fight the United
States was the under dog and the states
were the upper dog. He affirmed the
constitutionality of the federal laws.
49th Day —The house in transacting
routine business Wednesday, passed a
joint resolution tendering the thanks
of the United States to the foreign
governments which generously and ef
fectively participated in the M or Id’s
Fair. The bill to promote the safety
of national banks by prohibiting flit
officials of such banks to borrow mou
ey except by consent of the board of
directors was then considered. The
lull went over without action. The

busioess.
5 ° IH DlI —The house
tarV Carlisle his answer to its resolu
tion asking why the Sherman act had
not been enforced during July and
August. The communication was re
ferred. The house passed the bill au-
thorizing the sale of the old custom
house in Louisville, Ky. Bills were
passed for the inspection of boiler
plates at the place of manufacture and
placing the secretary of agriculture in
the line of presidential succession ; al
so for the relief of the Church of Jesus
Christ of the Latter Day Saints, The
federal election repeal bill haring been
taken up, Murray, of South Carolina,
concluded his speech in opposition to
the measure and criticised the election
hlethoda in # oerne in South Carolina,
claiming that the presence di federal
soldier supervisors was necessary to
conduct a fair and free election. W hen
Murray concluded, Ben Bussell, of
Georgia took the floor. He made n
folistitVionnl argument, interspersed
with cold facts drawn from the actual
iug that he had listened with interest
to the gentleman from Indiana and

next hearing. The 20t,h oi October
was fixed for hearing argument in the
case of O’Neill vs. Joy, of the 11th
Missouri district.
The president has issued orders that
no one except cabinet officers shall be
admitted to his office without first sig¬
nifying the nature of their business to
Private Secretary Tliurber. The new
order applies to senators and represen¬
tatives and under it Mr. Thurber is to
exercise his discretion as to whether,
representative or any other persons
shall be admitted to see the president.
Mr. Cleveland issued this order to re¬
lieve the pressure upon him that he
may have more time to attend to pub¬
lic business.
THE LEGAL BATTLE
Over the Central Railroad Renewed
at Washington.
A Washington special says: The
scene shifts from the quaint, stiffy lit¬
tle United States court room iu Savan¬
nah to the conference chamber of the
supreme court of the United States.
Justice Jackson and the galaxy of law r -
vers renewed the struggle Thursday
morning over the remains of the pros¬
trate Central railroad of Georgia.
Major Bacon, of Macon, made the
first argument. He made an able,
earnest plea for the saving of the
Southwestern railroad. His con¬
tention was that the Central railroad
should be first sold and its assets
exhausted before the Southwestern
should be sacrificed. He was followed
by Mr. Beaman, of the firm of Evarts,
Beaman & Choate, on the same line.
The terminal’s counsel, Henry Craw¬
ford, followed Beaman. He took the
position that the Southwestern shoul
be held jointly liable with the Central
and Macon A* Western.
The contention is over the five mill
ion of five tripartite bonds on which
the Central, Macon A* Western and
Southwestern are joint securities.
Colored Democrats of Virginia.
At a general conference of the Vir¬
ginia state league of colored demo¬
cratic voters held at Richmond Thurs¬
day night E. A. Randolph was elected
chairman. A series of resolutions
were adopted, which are to be issued
in the form of an address, urging the
colored democratic and independent
voters to support the democratic state
ticket this fall. They also endorse
President Cleveland “and his course
toward our entire international and
•.'-reign relations.”
