many heartrending scenes 1t was with
difficulty that some of the frantic women

from throwing themselves down the shaft
Hundreds of willing hands commenced
the work of getting at the imprisoned men,
but the earth had caved in in such large
quantities that none OF them had been
reached throe hours after the explosion
All the bodies so far recovered were SO
badly burned that they can not be identi-

NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.

The Torrey Bankrupt Bill Indorsed-A
Speech by Henry Watterson.
LoU1svILLE, KY, Dot l6-At yesterdays
session of the National Board of Trade the
Torrey Bankrupt bill was indorsed and q
memorial adopted reciting its virtues and
recommending it to Congress for enactment
Aresolutis n was passed requesting the Pam
American congress to take action for the
establishment OF a unit of coinage common
to oil American people, Other resolutions
were adopted providing that our rivers and
harbors should be improved and main-
tained by the general Government; that
Congress shall organize q naval reserve
force, and that Congress be asked to foster
a merchant marine by every legitimate
means.
The meeting was closed in tho evening
with grand banquet and an address by
Hon. Henry Watterson, who spoke on the
general state of the country. In speaking
OF tho tariff Mr.. Watterson sald
Il have never believed that we shall have free
trade IN this country until tho manufacturers
themselves lead the free-trade movement That
this Is only question OF time I have always
believed. But, meanwhile here is q system o1
taxation devised exclusively for war purposes,
yet outlasting those purposes o quarter OF q
century. For my part I can live under any
kind Of tartn that the rest can. and care as
little for expenses, too, for In my day ]
have paid as high as $500 for q pair OF boots and
10 for glass OF ice-water seasoned with nut
meg-in Confederate money; but, really, it does
seem to me that at the moment when our pub
ic mon are cozening their wits to find the
means OF spending the excess OF revenue the
tariff yields US it is about time that we con.
slider whether it would not be better to save
more and spend less"
Mr.. WatterSOn then turned his attention ia
pensions, and said that unless q stop was put
to the present wastage of money and corruption
OF morals, that which was begun In National
indulgence would end in National disgrace. In
closing he drew q glowing picture of the new
South.
