water, but the pipes mad beeR diseon,
necteG n no water was to be had. The
signal wire had siso been taken ont,
and there was nothing left but TO fight
for life. Under the guidance of cool
headed leaders, the men worked their
way around the burning tunnel to other
connections with the main engine shaft,
and thence to the surface. While the
scenes below were being enacted the cry
above, that the mine was on fire, had
reached the homes of the miners, and
the wives, children and friends of
the men below soon crnwed
around the shafts, wild with
grief and anxiety. AS each man came
weeping wife and children OF anxious
friends, and the cries of grief were
changed to shouts OF rejoicing. The
men kept coming up until 1t was known
that all but eight had been rescued. For
these no possible hope remains, as the
only avenue of escape is cut off. They
were doubtless somewhere between the
sixth level, where the fire originated,
and the surface. Their anne are: An
tony Lapgin, Andrew Hansen, Joe Roe,
Antony Kalskie, Gustav Tavs, John
| Flick, Joe Mossoglie and John Wander
i bilt.
At the spot where the FIRE originated
no one was working and this fact, taken
In connection with the ~disconneoting Of
the water pipes and the breaking of the
| signal wire, leave no room to doubt that
the fire was the work of an incendiary.
just one year g the mine took fire
under circumstances which pointed
strongly to incendiarism. 1t Is limited
that an interested syndicate is at the
bottom of these fires, and that the work
is that of their hired accomplices for the
purpose of checking the production Of
copper, and hence booming the price.
The management had a standing reward
Of 90, 600 for the discovery of the man
who set the fire a year ago, and IL hu-
man agency can discover the perpetrator
of this deed, it is openly declared that he
will be hurled headlong down the burn
ing shaft. The other fire burned for
thirteen weeks aud did millions of dol
lars's worth of damage. 1t was nothing
In 1erceness as compared to the present
one.
Later-The fire Is still burning flercely
and is apparently beyond control and
will consume the timbeYing In q large
part Of the mine. No hope is enter
tanned of the rescue of the eight miners
who were cut off from escape at mid
night Thursday. Mine officials are pre-
pairing TO fight the FIRE with carbolic acid
gas In the same manner as last year. An
Immense volume of smoke ia issuing
from the shaft and crevices, though all
are covered.

The possibility that the election of the
next President may be thrown into the
House OF Representatives seems very re-
mote at the present time; yet it has been
considered very often of late and has lent a
national interest TO contests that otherwise
would be almost purely Of local interest
The seating Of the Republican contestant
White, of Indiana, makes the Congressional
delegation of that State Republican by one
vote. Had the Democratic contestant been
seated the delegation would have been Dem
ocratic. With Indiana Republican, in the
event that the House Of Representatives
should elect the President voting by States
the balance would be left even between the
Republicans and Democrats counting Michi-
gan Republican and without caanting Rhode
Island at all. where successful contest by
Judge Bradley for bis Republican opponents
seat, might leave that State neutral. 1t
is probable, however, that tho Republican
from Rhode Island will keep his seat and
thus give his party majority of one State.
eThe Michigan delegation was Republican be-
fore Congressman Moffatt died, six of her
eleven congressman, being Republicans. On
the election of his successor, therefore, de-
ponds the vote of Michigan In the House;
and also, probably, whether the House of
Representatives shall be tie SO far as the
vote by State: is concerned. This fact gives
the contest in the Northern Peninsular of
Michigan unusual interest The Democrats
of Washington see their chance. and, accord
Ing to the Detroit Tribune, have sent West
large sums Of money. The party in the Dis
trict are very active; and the Republicans
find that they must put in their best work to
hold Michigan Republican State in the
House of Representatives.

The Australian System.

Some months ago, what is known as the
Australian system of voting received consid-
cradle public attention. The North Ameri-
can Review contained an article explaining
its advantages, and this was followed by a
general discussion, participated In most Wig
orously in New York city, where the evils
of the present voting system are most notori-
Gus. But the first discussion of a political
turn comes from Massachusetts,, where a
legislative committee is discussing reform
in the election laws. The Australian system
is receiving considerable attention in this
convention. By this system votes are print
ed at public expense, and delivered to the
voter only when he approaches the polls. On
this vote are printed the names of candi-
dates for all Offices The voter passes to one
Of number Of private boxes or compart-
ments, and there, by himself and free from
salutation, intimidation or oversight he
puts cross over against the name of the
candidate for whom he votes. He then pass
es directly to the polls, no one but election
officers being allowed about the ballot box.
The advantages urged for this system are that
it makes bribery Improbable, because the
person buying the vote can have no means
of knowing whether the vote has been given
according to agreement; and that intimida-
tion is impossible because political strik-
ers are kept away from the polls
Another feature of the system, fea-
ture. too, which is its chief recommended
The Portland daily press., 1888-02-11

ton in New York city, is the provision Tor
printing the ballots at State expense.
This prevents the leyying on candidates OF
large sums of money, ostensibly for printing
ballots, but really for other purposes. In
New York this abuse has grown to alarming
proportions The bill now under discussion
in Massachusetts embodies these leading
features of the Australian system, but would
apply only to the cities. Mr.. Richard III.
Dana advocates measure that would apply
to the towns as well as the cities, and will
present bill. The whole question will
probably be discussed thoroughly by the
Massachusetts legislators, who may be par
doned IL they look with unusual caution on
a political innovation imported from the
South Sea. But the fact that the system
was first tried in country where great
political reforms would hardly be expected,
ought not, aud probably viii not prevent
its merits receiving full and impartial con-
sideration.

The New York Tribune's committee that
has just reported on the needs of farmers in
connection with the tariff, have added to
their report petition for the more efTectual
protection of agriculture, which is recon-
mended to the consideration of farmers all
over the country. The petition asks Con-
gress forlegislation that will prevent fraudu-
lent importations of cattle on pretence that
they are for breeding only; for duty Of 20
cents per bushel ON barley, with proper
tionate increase of duty on malt; for duties
Of % cents per bushel on potatoes and on
ions, 81 per 100 on cabbages So per ton on
hay, 10 cents per pound on hops 20 per cent
on beans and peas, cents per dozen on
eggs, 3Oper cent on fowls and poultry and
on vegetables in their natural state or in
salt or in brine, not otherwise provided for, ,.
with no removal or reduction of duties on
market garden products now dutiable; for
such increased duties on flax and on linen
goods as will effectually encourage the prep
araton of fibre and manufacture of goods
for the abolition Of all duties on sugar, with
bounty to home producers; to prevent i'm
ports of leaf tobacco suitable for wrappers
at the duty imposed on other leaf tobacco,
and repeating all internal tax on tobacco !;
to restore to wool growing the substantial
protection enjoyed under the tariff of 1867,
so modified as TO meet the later forms Of for
eign competition and Of evasion. The conf
mittee believe these recommendations would,
II adopted, result in much benefit to farm
ers all over the country. Between this and
the Democratic method of helping the far
mer by putting all raw materials on the free
list, the farmer ought not to find it difficult
TO choose.

Mr.. Bayards fishery commission seems to
be in danger Of being entirely forgotten. The
conviction has so thoroughly taken possess
ion Of the public mind that it is destined
to do nothing but draw a large sum of money
out Of the treasury for expenses that nobody
thinks much about it now. Yet 1t promises
to be not entirely in vain. Through it
the Hon. Joseph Chamberlain is likely to
get an American wife, another proof of the
fshermen's assertion that the Americans are
always destined to be beaten in negotiations
carried on through commissions.
