his letter is a very instructive
lesson on protection to home industries.
His picture OF manufacturing and CONNER

he saw when he visited the same spot

WASHINGTON, February ls.-The pro-
gramme Of the dominant party in the Sen.
ate for the coming legislative week is
substantially identical with the uniulflled
programe outlined last Sunday for the week
which ended yesterday. Final action upon
the House billto reduce internal revenue
taxation with It's multifarious tariff amend
ments is now confdentally predicted for TO-
morrow nighttthe Chairman Of the Finance
Committee having given notice he will insist
upon pressing it 70 a final vote before
Tuesday, as the Chairman OF the Com.
mittee on Appropriations will then claim
the floor as the indispensable condition OF
securing sufficient time for action upon the
annual appropriation bill. OF these the
army bill is first TO be considered, leaving
the Navy, the Fortifcattons and District Of
Columbia appropriation bills to be called
up from the calendar for action by the
Senate during the remainder OF the week.

Investigation has developed that the
fascinating game Of draw was invented
somewhere about 1915 or 1877, by Mr..
Kirkman, OF Tennessee, turfman Of
some note. The game Of straight or plain
poker, Of course, dates much further back.
Draw may now be said to be the national
game, and is, perhaps, doing more harm in a
quiet and unnoticed way than dealing in fu-
lures or any other species OF gaming. AL
most everybody knows little something
about the game, (which appears simple
enough, and vet It has been prayeIy
considered and adjudged that the
very height Of human wisdom is to know
when TO lay Q hand down. Some years

From Our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, February lS.-The house
tariff bill is virtually dead, and the Senate
bill barely lives. Tomorrow is suspen-
sion day and Judge Kelley is ordered by
the Ways and Means Committee to ask
the House to pass the House bill repeating
internal taxes with the reduction Of tobacco
tax put in by the Senate. The Democrats
want to defeat it but will not be able to
hold their men together sufficiently to
prevent two.thirds vote in its favor.
On Tuesday the Appropriation Commit
tee will take up the sundry Civil bill which
will probably take several days. The
Election Committee has two cases that
may take two days debate, and this uses
up this week. The River and Harbor bill
is watching chance to work its way before
the House, and is privileged the same as
though 1t came from the Appropriation
Committee. This does not give the Tariff
bill a chance TO get the floor again
for general debate in Committee Of
the Whole. The next week being the last
six days OF the session 1t is in order all the
time to move to suspend the rules, and as
there are over two hundred bills on the
Speakers table from the Senate and six
hundred on the calendar, and all have one
or more friends who want TO see them
passed, 1t Is sale to say there will be
men on the floor clamoring for recog.
milton to suspend the rules all week,
and when the hammer finally falls down on
last hours OF the third OF March no one
supposes that any bill Is likely TO be passed
by a two.thirds vote in the House. The
Senate bill is now in shape, but there are
a number Of Republican Senators who will
not vote for 1t, including Sherman. Came
ron, Mitchell onn Aldrich. II II is
amended, to secure their votes It
will become Objectionable TO others who
are now Tor It, who will try TO beat it. In
short, its only chance TO get through Is to
be passed by the Democrats and few
free trade Republicans, and then it
will lie on the Speakers table. Morrill,
is going to try and force night session
tomorrow and sit out vote on 1t, but his
prospects cf'success are net cheerful. The
Senate Appropriation Committee Is SO far
behind with the appropriation bills that
they must take the floor on Tuesday or lose
some OF their bills. f.lt5

THE Women's Union Benevolent Society
lss effected so comprehensive an organiza-
ton and has already shown such vitality
and strength, that it is worth the while Of
the County Commissioners to consider
whether the society may not be made .
useful adjunct 10 their Board. Commis-
sioners find the work Of visitation and sat
isiactory inquiry great tax on their time
and, in many cases, nearly impossible.
The Women's Union has its organization in
every ward, and for It's own purposes
will carefully cover the ground which the
Commissioners severally would cover II
they could. II it could bearranged for the
women to seek out worthy objects Of the
county's charity within the city limit
and make report to the Commissioners
it is probable that the work would b
much more satisfactorily done thar
now. 1t is understood, Of course, tina
the society is not sectarian. We dc
not know how the Commissioners or the
Society will look upon the suggestion, bu'
it is respectfully submitted for their con
sideration. A like arrangement has pro
duced good results elsewhere.

The manner Of coal mining in this sec.
ton must be briefly explained before IN
understanding can be had Of the situation.
A deep shalt Is sunk, known as the main or
hoisting shaft, and beside this are bnit the
engine house and pumping works. Access
to the mine Is attended by means Of o
double cage Or elevator, worked by steam.
From the main shaft passages radiate in
every direction in which coal Is to be found.
The rule Is that these passages must be four
iset high and six feet wide. In some
places seven feet Is reached according to
The condition Of the dirt or rock and the
width and depth Of the coal. In the Dia-
mond No. 2 the excavations extend over
eighty acres. A primitive tramway runs
to the main passage or road. Thence 1t is
hauled by mule power to the hoistipg shalt,
As the miners work into the coal they prop
up the walls Of their passages and rooms
with soapstone and props Of lumber.
In addition TO the main hosting shaft
eaph mine is more or less literally pro-
vided with air and escapement shafts. The
Diamond No. 2 had two Of these. The
one by which the men escaped was about
lb0 yards from the main shaft and the
others were above the old workings. The
point where the cave In occurred was ID
