Oninion on the Sennte Silver Bill.

WAsHINGToN, June l7.-Opinions as to the
possible action of the house on the senate
silver bill differ very widely. There is a
belief on the part of some that before any
action is taken, a caucus will be held to de-
eide upon the course to be pursued. There is
II sentiment even among the friends of the
bill as it passed the senate, that it will get
into conference and that out of that confer
ence will be involved Il bill providing for the
purchase of 100000 ounces of silver monthly,
the certificates issued in payment thereof to
be legal tender and not rcdeemable in bullion.
Such measure it is generally believed
would receive the presidents approval. The
free coinage advocates express the opinion
that the house will pass the senate bill.

AT THE BURNING MINE.
A Slight Hope Raised That the Impris-
oncu Men Are Alive.

DUNBAR, Pa, June l7.-All night long the
rcscuing parties remained at the mouth of the
manhole Of the Farm Hill mine, but their
efforts to help the unfortunate men entombed
in the burning mine were fruitless. The
sights about the pits mouth are all the more
pitiable because of the twenty-four hours an
guish that has rolled over the heads of the
relatives and friends of the entombcd miners,
and hundreds stand steadily at the
mouth gazing at the columns of
smoke, that grow thicker hour by
hour. The indications are that the
coal is now burning instead of timber and
roofing. The mine inspector is making siren
uous efforts to enter from the MahOney
drifts. An air fan to furnish ventilation TO
the mine will be put in operation this after
noon in the Ferguson pit as work will also be
commenced there The mine is so located
that flooding the fire is impossible and smoth-
cring it means certain death to the men
below, providing they are living. Nearly all
the mines of this region are closed down, and
men, money and provisions are pouring in on
every train. a slight hope was raised at
noon by the return of one of the rcscuing
party, who reported that far down in the
slope he heard a mule braying This leads to
the belief that the men NAV vet be living.

Wilcox Visited by a Big Storm.

WILCOX, Neb., June 17.-[Special to THE
BEE. This section was visited last night by
the heaviest rain of the season. An enormous
amount of water fell and this morning there
are ponds in every direction. Crops have
been injured by the drouth, but we are sure
now of getting a fair amount at least of small
grain. About II o'clock the two-story brick
building of Hyatt 81 Kennedy was badly
racked, part of the roof was blown off and the
front wall badly bulged.
The windmill of the b. & NJ. railroad was
torn to pieces and several other windmills in
the town are wrecked and several small build
ings overturned. The damage to the town is
probably $1,000. The damage on Hyatt a.
Kennedy's brick building is fully covered by
tornado insurance.
Some of our citizens were circulating sub
scription lists on Saturday for the benefit of
the Bradshaw cyclone sufferers. We are
very thankful this morning that we do not
have to ask for help ourselves. 1t certainly
looked for II few minutes as though the Brad
shaw disaster was to be repeated.

A GOODLY LAND.
The Black Hills Empire and the City
Hot Springs.


Hot SPRINGS, S. D., June 17.-TSpecial
to TIE BEE. - Lieutenant Frederick
Schwatla the great Arctic explorer fingered
at the Springs for several days and left yes
terday for Chicago He was much impressed
with the resources and surroundings of the
town and in fact thinks the Black Hills
country an empire in itself. Fall River, the
southwest county of South Dakota, is un-
doubtedly one of the best counties in the
state and the census returns will show a
larger increase, both in population and deYel-
opment, than any other county in the Da-
kotas Fall River county is bounded by Ne
braska on the south, Wyoming on the west,
Custer county on the Mouth, and the Sioux
reservation on the cast, and contains 1916
square miles, four-fifths OF which is fine agri-
cultural and grazing lands. The agricultural
lands are of unequaled fertility and the
grazing lands will support thousands of head
of stock the year around with but little
trouble TO the owner, as the southern hills
excel as winter range.
This country is naturally tributary to
Omaha as the Fremont, Elkhom Il Missouri
Valley and B. Il M. roads both run entirely
through the county from south to north and
will both have lines into Hot Springs within
the next two months Omaha should pay
more attention to the trade of this country
and especially the southern portion of the
Black Hills. Lincoln and Sioux City are
both in the field for the trade and are repre-
sentcd by good men who are located here
Hot Springs is certainly destined to become
the great distributing point for an immense
trade, and that in the near future.
Crops in the southern hills and northern
Nebraska are in a splendid condition and
never looked better at this time of year a
bOuntiful harvest is now almost assured.

MISCELLANEOUS.

w. H. Remington Of Omaha called at THE
BEE bureau this afternoon.
w. Il. PEBBLES left for his home at Pender
today.
Democrats in the house and senate are
going back to their old doctrine that all lands
west of the Tooth meridian should be with
drawn from public entry till all lines east Of
the line both public and private, have been
properly inhabitated for agricultural and
other purposes. There is no doubt that if
they had a majority of congress and the
presidency they would accomplish this OBJ
ject, placing the far western lands into re-
tirement under the arid land act. This
would enhance the value OF lands in the cen
tral states and south.
1t is understood that the senate will this
week take up the conference report on the
dependent pension bill and agree to it. The
house adopted the report last week, but the
senate has delayed final action until the sill
yer bill was gotten out OF the way.
There seems to be a very wide divergence
of opinion held by members of the house COM
mittcc on judiciary respecting the propriety
of adopting the Wilson original package
amendment to the interstate commerce law
Some of the staunchest prOhiDtionists in the
house are not so eager for the amendment as
they were some time since, believing that its
adoption will result in the final overthrow of
the prohibition law. And then the high
license principle appears TO be gaining ground
so rapidly that the amendment may fail in
the house, even though il should be reported.
The most weighty objection laid against
the Wilson amendment is that
it carries the statea back to the
days of confederation and gives them so much
states right power that if it should be
adopted there would be a constant centraiza-
tion of power in the states eventually result
ing disastrously to the federal interests or
the country.
There was great deal of talk around the
capitol today about the prospects of the fed
eral election bill, which was adopted by the
house republican caucus, but there are few
who believe it can go through the senate.
The democrats intend to talk it to death if
possible, while it is an open secret that sew
eral republican senators oppose it upon gen.
eral principles, and especially because they
believe it sectional. PERRY S. HEATH.
