TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY STRONG MEN SMOTHERED INSTANTLY. A PITIFUL SCENE OF WIVES AND MOTHERS. McAllister, I. T.—A report has reached here from shaft No 5 of the Osage Coal and Mining company at Krebs, that a terrible explosion occur¬ red there at 5 o’clock last evening, from the effects of which 200 lives probably will be lost. Just before the day shift changed off a puff of smoke was seen to escape from the mouth of the single shaft to the mine and a second later the ground shook and heaved in the vicinity as if an earthquake was in progress. Sim¬ ultaneously with this a deafening ex¬ plosion took place. Then at the top of the sbatfc sound¬ ed the alarm and preparations were made to send down a rescuing party, but found the mouth of the shaft fiiled with debris, and the fate of the entombed miners seems settled. When the messenger left the mine the rescuing party were about to being work on the debris in the hopes of getting an entrance to the mine. The mine is located five miles east of here. This morning it is learned that there were 350 men in the mine at the time of the explosion, and it can be safely asserted that 200 lie dead at the bottom. At 7 o'clock this morning ten dead men were brought out, and only one recognized, the remains were so bad¬ ly mutilated. The bottom shaft has been reached and a mass of dead bodies exposed to the view of the rescuing parties. Eighty'five men came out by an old entrance, and forty-two were saved through the shaft, but most of these will die from burnsand injuries re' ceived. This leaves 223 men in the mine who are doubtless dead. Thou¬ sands of anxious mothers and wives were wa'chi tig the cage as it came to the surface, hoping to see their loved only to turn away disappointed. The explosion was caused by firing a shot when gas was in the mine. LIVINGSTON’S RESOLUTION. The following is the full text of the resolution introduced in the house o! representatives last Thursday. It has been referred to the commit¬ tee on rules. Whereas, There is a widespread de¬ mand for financial r.-fo:m, and this de¬ mand is being intensified daily by the depressed and poorly compensated pro¬ ducers and laborers of this country, therefore be it Resolved, That a special committee of seven be appointed by the speaker, to report as early as practicable. 1. The amount of national bank notes outstanding, the amount based upon United States bonds and United States currency ; also, the amount of United States bonds held by national banks as basis for circulation, and the rea on for their not being used for that purpose, together with the contraction of the volume of national t ank currency, the rate of interest charged by national banks and the profits of the system since its inauguration. 2. The amount of contract oa in ever species of currency th >.t has ben us d as a part of the cr.-ulating medium since the year 18 5 ;the amount of cur¬ rency now in the United States, i - ki d and where located, and how distribute I by states. 3. The a no 'Glib of currency in k n held by the United States treasury and by national banks as reserves, and also the probable amount held by other banks for the same purpose . 4. The volume of business transacted by the United States during the year 1890, with the amounts based respeetfuly upon cash and credit, 5. To what extent is foreign capital invested or used in the United States : a 1 so As effect upon the industries of the country, and the manner in which the interest; and dividends of such invest¬ ments are paid, and to what extant do such investments control ths products and labor of the country and hiw and why. 6. Also to report such suggestions and amendments to the present financial system, as in the judgment of the co n mission, may be. to the best interest of he people of ihisoo mtry. AT T 11 E CAPITOL News from the Political Center. What Occurs to Interest You at Washington. It is a matter for congratulation that Sp -aker Crisp is rapidly recov¬ ering. His con tic red illness is be¬ coming very embarrasiug to the democratic majority in the House, as there is a natural hesitation a tnong those who are capable of di' recting the policy’ of the party, about assumiug a function that belongs properly to tbh Speaker ; conse' quently there has been some con¬ fusion. which thoughtless people have taken for dissention, and re¬ publican newspapers have not been slow to exaggerate this idea, and some democrats, fortunately few in nutnbei, have allowed themselves to fall info the error ot believing such statements to be the truth: It is probable that had not Mr. Cri p heed stricken down, a demo¬ cratic caucus would have been held before this, at which the general policy to be pursued by 7 the majors ity of the House during the session would have been mapped out and some agreement reacaed as to who should assume the •eadersbip of the House on the floor, but it has not been thought advisable to hold this caucus in the absence of Speaker Crisp. Representative Blount, of Georgia chairman of the Committee on For¬ eign Adairs, thinks the House made a mistake in defeating the jointpes olution authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to charter a steamship to carry the food which has been con tributed to the famine-stricken Russians, and that it was done through r misapprehension arid the lack of proper information. He has moved a reconsideration of the vote, an I expects that the resolution will be passed wheu itagiin comes up. The declaration of the State press idents of the Farmers Alliance, who have been holding a conference here, against committing the Alliance to the third party movement has ix cited much comment here. The Idano and Florida Sen itorial contested cases will be decided this week by the Senate committee on Ejections. It is practicaly settled that the committee will report in avor of Call an l D ihois, who aD ready 7 occupy the stats.
