The Mules Lived.

RIca HILL, Me-, April s.-Seven
mules were found in the wrecked coal
mine to-day, all alive. They had access
to an abundance of grain and water and
were in fine condition. This explodes
the theory that the explosion was caused
bs natural gas or by foul vapor of any
kind, as such an explosion is always fol-
lnwed by choke damp, which would
have killed mules. The coroner's jury
rendered verdict censuring State Mine
Inspector Wolfe, but to-day's discovery
is regarded as a vindication of his testi-
mony that there were no indications of
gases in the mine at his last examina-
ton. A full Investigation will be made.

sTEpHENsoN's SUCCESSOR.
Political Activity in the Ninth
Wisconsin District.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the GloDe.
ASHLAND, Wis, April SIT is gener-
ally understood that Isaac Stephenson
has got all he wants of congressional
honors. In fact, it has been given out
in that way by his most intimate
friends, and he has in no way attempted
to deny it. The fact that he is out of
the race being generally admitted, has
set the tongues of Ninth district politi-
clans at work, and there is every indica-
tion that there will be scramble for
the place. There are a great many can
didates in the field, and Ashland never
having been hOnored there is a strong
demand among Republicans, at least,
that she be recognized. The names of a
number of gentlemen well known
locally have been spoken of, but there
is but one who has strong
following that has anything like
chance for the nomination. and that is
ex-Lieut. Gov. Sam. Fifeld, editor of
the Press. Gov. Fifeld has spent
great many years in the service of the
state at Madison in both houses of the
legislature, and has good record. If
any Ashland man gets the nomination
it will be Gov. Fifield. There is no pos
sible
CHANCE FOR DEMOCRAT
living in Ashland, and thus far that
party has not made any move toward
selection in any other part of the dis
trict. There is considerable good timber,
nevertheless. and it is not improbable
that when the time comes the Republi-
cans will find formidable apponent in
the field. Col. Knight has said he would
not be candidate, though, if he should
reconsider the matter, many Re-
publicans believe he would be
elected, as he would receive many
of their votes as against any man their
party might select. 1t is universally
conceded that the district, though Re-
publican. would surely go Democratic
if Mr.. Stephenson should consent to
denomination. Col. Upton, of Marsh
field, war veteran and big manu-
facturer, is said to be willing to try his
hand at representing the biggest Wis
consin district, but whether he would
run well against strong Democratic
nominee from the mining districts is a
question of grave doubt among his
friends. A Republican from the north
eastern part of the state, who visited
here few days ago, was of the opinion
that Stephenson, whose campaigns have
always been engineered by Mr.. Fifield,
would be pleased to throw his mantle
upon that gentleman's shoulders when
he got ready to step down and out, and
it is not improbable that he will do some
work to bring about that result.

am the only person West who thor

biggest and best men could find to put
against him. He stopped and knocked
out twenty-fOur in succession, without a
defeat. Fighters who would fight draws
with Jake Kilrain, Jack Ashton and

of tWenty-fOur stayed over three rounds.
Any fighter that could best him in Phil

could break the town. The advantage
he has over the majority of men is he
never drinks, smokes or abuses himself
