SENATE.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 5.-Senator Sher-
man began a speech on the Presidents
message yesterday. Voorhees, denounced
the statements Of Sherman, Teller and
other Republicans, as insinoere and mis-
leading. and asserted that by way of
preparation for the coming Presidential
election Republicans were endeavoring
TO put the President and Democratic
party in an attitude of hostility to Amer
lean manufacturing interests. Under
the leadership of Cleveland the
Democratic party demanded such
revision O. the tariff and
reduction Of the revenue surplus as is
most favorable to all interests. The
fros.s of November would blight these
Republican misleadings.
He eulogi2ed the President. saying his
message on taxation proved him to be a
fearless and honest statesman, and the
principles he enunciated were as old as
the Government itself Every honest
mind had to revolt against such wanton
robbery as is shown by Sl0,000,0C) per
month surplus snatched from the people,
and yet the Senator from Colorado had
sneered at the idea of the surplus being
of any consequence.

manager of the mines, who is living here.
to the effect that an explosion had oc-
Cured in pit No. 5, near Wellington.
Several people have arrived from the
mine and give the particulars. The first
explosion sounded like distant thunder TO
those near the pit. Instantly Il mass of
dust and inky black smoke shot into the
air from the mouth of the pit. and peo-
pie in the ~vicinit. knew instantly what
had happened, and 4 rush was made tor
the mouth of the pit, as it was known II
large number Of men were working i'll
the mine. To Their horror il was found
that the cage would not work, the cxplo.
sion having injured the machinery.
Ropes We're procured and the work of
.'aising the men singly began.
Carpenters set tn work, aud in the
course of an hour or 50 a temporary cage
was lowered, and ninety-scven men were
and sent to the top. Meantime the cage
Mas sc fixed rs to reach the bottom.
and the work Of rescue went on.
Twenty of those still in the mine
were found, several being dead and 9TH
crs in such a bad condition it is feared
they will not survive. Someof the young
wives, with children. are frantic with
grief; standing or sitting, worn out by
watching around the mouth of the fatal
shaft. Occasionally. when n body is
brought up aud recognized a heartrend-
ing scene is enacted. Others, dazed with
watching and fountains of tears. are 81
lently watching the cage ascend from the
depths below. where their dear ones are
entombcd. A large gang of men are now
down the shaft trying TO rescue the min
ers or recover their bodies.
1t is now believed that nearly ninety
lives were lost in the explosion. The
bodies of twenty white miners have been
taken from the mine, and there ars
about seventy more men still in the mine,
and there is no reason for believing that
any of them are alive.

THE GRANDEST DAY.

Brilliant Scenes at the Storming of tho
Ice Palace by the Fire King.
ST. PAUL, jan. 27.-This is the third
day of the carnival, and it was marked
by several important events. The inter-
national snowshoe races occurred in the
afternoon, and there was a lively compe-
tition. But the grandcst and most
attractive event was the storm
ing of the Ice Palace by
the Fire King and his forces.
Ills fiery majesty joined his forces at
Seven corners and marched over the
usual route to the palace. Each man
carried a blazing torch, and when the
word was given the Fire King, clad in
his robes of flame mounted his fiery char
lot drawn by four equally fiery stceds,
and escorted by an army OF little red
devils and his glittering followers. set
forth to give the Ice King u roasting.
The parade was by far the largest that
has SO far been held. On reaching the
palace the forces were placed in strategic
position and the storming began. For
over half an hour the 100, 900 or more
spectators were treated to probably the
finest display of pyrotechnics they ever
witnessed. The crush Mt the depot of
people from outside towns anxious to get
home after the st0rming was something
fearful. Extra trains were running till
we'll into the morning.

Affair.
Over Seven Miles Of Display Wit
messed by Nearly 100000
People.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 1.-The long-heralded
industrial parade, that was to be n part
of the carnival, came off this afternoon,
and to say that it was the biggest thing
OF the kind ever held on this OF any other
continent, would be simply stating the
truth.
The procession started promptly at
1870 and for nearly four hours
the line wendell its way down
Third street. Every industry in
the CITY had some sort OF q display, and
many Of them were costly and elegant.
The best patent medicine advertisement
writer in the world could have obtained
pointers on how to advertise.
All of the suburbs of st. Paul
were well represented in the
parade and many people who
have lived in the city for years were IL
prised to learn that the resources and
industries of the city were SO great.
AS viewed from the windows OF the
American Press Association. there seemed
to he 100, 900 people packed into Third
street from Bridge square to Sibley
street. and the crowd never once tired
of viewing the novel panorama passing
before them.
All business houses Of the city sus-
pended business during the afternoon.
and even Uncle San.my's minions Laid

The riches, or most valuable display
was that of the fur dealers. who had
four large floats we'll covered with furs.
An immense sausage machine was i'll
the procession, but it was not followed
by a load Of dogs.
The most beautiful display was that OF
the florists, which represented a lawn
where Il fountain played. flowers bloomed
in all their spring-timc glory, IL rabbit
played about, and the gardener rested on
his rake, content with his scrupuously
clean landscape.
The Hotel Ryan bath-tub and barber
