A MINE DISASTER .
One of the Most Destructive
on Record.
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.
