TIE Hill FARM MINERS.
The Rcseuers Drsnk Through Gob-Wili
Reach the Miners Soon.

DUNBAR, Pa, June 24.-The report
that the rescuers into tho Hill Farm
mine this morning was false. The report
arose from tho fact that the rescuing
party broke through heavy "gob" into
a small opening, From this cause the
course OF ventilation was changed, and
nearly an hour and a half was spent in
bratticing 1t tip 80 they could 20 ahead.
The carelulness with which the miners
are working Is shown from this. Mr..
keighily would not permit men 10 ad.
vance until the air had been thoroughly
tested. During the day good progress
has been made, aud the inspectors
think they are where tho limo OF coal
should be.
Mr.. Woman, who for years was boss
OF the Mahoning mine, and under whose
direction the coal In This part OF 1t was
mined, says that the working party is
very near the coal, and then he added:
"When We strike 1t we can 90 at the
rate OF six feet an hour" This will
bring them into the mine during the
early morning hours. All hope OF
finding the men alive has been aban.
doned.
Robert Watchorn, Secretary Of the
United Miners, has just returned from
the pit. He says the rescuers have been
going in straight line for the burning
mine. Everything that eau be done is
being done now. Watchorn fears an.
other disaster, and Inspector Black says
II danger is scented, operations will BE-
suspended at once.

to the young iady's house and that she
received him in the conservatory. What

foreigners arriving in New Eagland

there, the very place they had usually
secured their missionaries for foreign
countries. He found both whits aud

port OF that committee. 1t simply rec.
ommended that the House non.c concur
in each and all OF the Senate amend.

conference on the same.
Mr.. Bland, OF Missouri, moved that
the House concur in the Senate amend.
ments.
With these motions pending the de.
bate began, Mr.. Coneer taking the ini.
tia,ive. lie defended the action OF his
committee, saying that 1t had reported
wise and conservative measure The
Senate had not debated nor considered
the bill it had passed and sent back to
the House. Now free coinage meant
that man might take Si66 worth of sill.
yer to the United States mint and take
$50. 1t meant n profit Of Sl3,O00,OOO a
year TO the bullion owners OF this coun.
try. This Congress had appropriated
Sl50,C00,0C0 Tor pensions. Every
one OF those dollars were worth 100
cen's, but on silver basis they would
depreciate and the gallant pensioners
would ,suller loss. Not only have
these paid lobbyists been plying their vo-
cation here, but various other means
have been resorted to by silver epecula-
tors to procure legislation. Pool after
pool has been organized in this city to
speculate in silver, and he himself had
been invited TO Join them. Money has
been deposited In banks In this country
by hundreds and hundreds Of thousands
ready to purchase bullion as soon as this
legislation should pass.
Mr.. Bland knew nothing about the
lobby. He wanted it understood that
he was for free coinage, but II he could
not get it he would vote for this bill, ii
ho could get two amendments.
Mr.. Hill criticised the Bland act rs
failing in lis purpose OF securing parity
between gold and silver
Mr. Bland explained that the amend.

pose.
Mr.. Brewer, OF Michigan-In other
words, the bill when it came back was
not 60 Bland as when it went over
there. 5s.HEs
Mr.. Bland-No; it was more Allison
than Bland, and | am afraid this bill
will be, too.

the Senate MeRsure. ..-
WAsnISGToN, June 24.-The House
Committee on the Judiciary, after hav.
ing under consideration for four meet
ings the Senate "original package bill,
has decided to report to the House in its
etead substitute agreed on by the com.
mittee this morning, with one dissent
ing voice.
1t is broader in scope than the Senate
bill, inasmuch Gs its provisions apply to
all articles OF interstate commerce,
wheseas the Senate bill only applies to
Intoxicating liquors. The substitute Is
as follows:
Whenever any article ofcommcrce is
imported into any State from another
State, Territory or foreign nation, and
there held or offered for sale, the same
shall be subject to the laws Of such
State; provided, that no Discrimination
shall be made by any State in favor of
its citizens against those Of any other
States in respect to the sale Of any article
Of commerce, or in favor OF its own PRO.
ducts against those OF like character pro.
duced in other States; nor shall the trans.
portation Of commerce through any State
bo obstructed except in the necessary
enforcement Of the health laws to such
State"
Representative Reed, OF Iowa, will pre-.
pare the report Of the bill, aud Repre-
sentative Adams. who voted against the
bill, will probably make minority re-
port.

Decision OF the New York Supreme Court

SARATOGA, N. y, June 24.-The Court
OF Appeals decision in the sugar case
