Secretary Proctor today sent telegram to

ment at New Orleans in regard to the relief OF
food sufferers in Mississippi, instructing him

A Number OF Miners Entombed BY the
Cavins In OF q Mine In Pennsylyania-
Rescuers Driven Away By Fire Damp.
wILKEsBARKE, Pa, May 16.-A cave
in occurred yesterday near Ashley in
No. mine, operated by the Lehigh &
Wilkesbarre Coal Company. by which
twenty-five men were entombed.
Soon afterward not only relatives OF
the twenty-five imprisoned mine labor
ers but thousands of others gathered
upon the spot discussing the best
methods of effecting their rescue. The
company took prompt action toward
lberating the imprisoned men, but
things were in such chaotic condition
that results were by no means certain.
Many believed that the rescue of the
men alive was well nigh an impossible
ity, while others, as they watched the
continual movement of the surface and
extensive workings of the mines, shook
their heads in grave doubts
The present cave in is in the workings
of No. slope of the Lehigh &c Wilkes
barre Coal Company, Immediately ad-
joining the mine in which the extensive
cave in occurred twelve years ago i'm
prisoning ten men for over a week, but
who were finally rescued alive. The
present cave in extends over half mile
square and inc .udes portion OF the
thickly settled village called Maletta
Patch. A large number of houses have
gone down with the surface but only a
few of them have been badly damaged.
The following is list of men who are
known to be imprisoned: John Hanson,
Anthony Froine, Michael Schalley,
John Allen. assistant fire boss; Michael
Henry, Charles James, Frank Gallagher,
Robert Roberts, Harry Jones, Ellis
Williams. Owen Williams, Daniel Sulli-

A NEBRASKA DECISION.
Elevators May Be Erected on Railroad
Property By Private Parties.

Elevators May Be Erected Railroad
Property By Private Parties
LINCOLN. Neb., May 15.--About a
year ago the Farmers Alliance at Elm
wood, Cass County, applied to the Mis-
souri, Pacific for permission to erect an
elevator on the compsny's right of way
at that station. This the company de-
MED. The Alliance applied to the
State Board Of Transportation for re-
lief. The board heard the case
and after deciding among other
things that an elevator was an
appliance necessary for the shipment of
grain and that the granting of the right
to erect elevators to other parties and a
refusal to grant the request of these
complafhants was an unjust and un-
reasonable discrimination, ordered the
company to grant the complainants a
site for an elevator.
This order the company refused to
obey and Attorney-General Leese ap-
piled to the Supreme Court for writ of
mandamus to compel the company to
obey the orders of the board.
The Supreme Court granted the writ
yesterday. The decision is Justly re-
garded as an important one, as it settles
the question of the power and jurisdic-
ton of the Board of Transportation over
this class of cases. 1t also settles the
rights Of the people to erect elevators
at the conpany's stations and to be ac-
corded equal shipping facilities with all
others. This was test case on which
the fate of fully dozen other cases in
various parts of the State depended.

FARMERS REVIEW.

Crop Bulletin Based on Reports Frum
Thirteen States-Compiaints Of Drought.
CHICAGO. May 16.-The Farmers Re-
view says: The report from corre-
spondents in the thirteen States covered
by our crop bulletin indicate that the
general condition of winter wheat in
this territory is 20 per cent. lower and
of spring wheat 10 per cent. lower than
the usual average of condition at this
season.
Relative to winter wheat, Wisconsin
and Kansas reports show some improve
ment in condition since April 80. In
Kansas this is due to the prevailing
drought having been broken by local
showers in m any parts of the State. In
Wisconsin, on the other hand. the pre-
vious excess of moisture has dried out
to some extent and conditions have be-
come more favorable to growth. In
Michigan and Ohio the condition of
wheat has not changed since our last
report. A few correspondents in Mis-
souri, report improvement in the condi-
ton of wheat. but the general average
for the State indicates a marked decline
during the past ten days. Illinois, In
diana and Kentucky reports also show a
decline, caused probably by cold weather
and an excess of moisture.
We summarize as follows the reports
of correspondents relative to the condi-
ton of wheat: Winter wheat-Illinois,
Il per cent, Indiana 81, Ohio IS. Ken
tucky s., Missouri 79K, Kansas eS,
Michigan -, Wisconsin 20. Spring
wheat-Illinois, 81 per cent, Wisconsin

THE PicKLER PLAN.
Macune Continues His Afguments-Criti-
cisms and Doubts.


cisms and Doubts.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Mr. Macune,
representing the Farmers Alliance, con-
tinued his argument before the Ways
and Means Committee in favor Of the
Pickler bill to establish sub-treasuries
for the receipt of agricultural products
and was questioned by members Of the
committee respecting the details and
probable effect of the bill
Mr.. Bayne wished to know IL one ef-
feet would not be to encourage over
production. Mr.. Macune replied that
It would not. for Just as soon as the
farmers calling became more profitable
than others there would be an influx Of
men into that business which would re-
suit in a reaction and finally the restora-
ton Of an equilibrium. To his mind no
fixed volume of currency, no matter how
great, would meet the needs of agri-
culture. 1t wanted an elastic medium.
The farmer sold his crops in the fall
when prices were lowest and bought his
supplies before harvest when prices
were highest Crops were marketed in
two or three months of the year and
this marketing annually caused great
stringency in money.
Mr.. Flower feared that the plan
would lead to banking on livestock,
iron, lead and silver ore. They were
getting along now in the latter direc-
ton at the other end of the Capitol. In
time the people would have every thing
''in hook" In the course of ten years
the Government would be nursing the
children and the women working in the
field. The true remedy for the farmers
ills was the manufacturers plan. They
should regulate production, raise only
enough produce to meet the peoples
wants and thereby get fair prices.
Mr.. Mscune proceeded to explain the
process proposed to regulate the issue Of
produce certificates. He said that the
necessity for excluding imports of agri-
cultural products was obvious If the
quality of the certificates was to be
preserved. The certificates would con-
stitute the soundest and best currency
in the world. Probably not one-half
of the S5O,OOO.OOO appropriation asked
for to put the new machinery in action
would be required, but the sum should
not be absolutely fixed at a minimum
as in time it would be necessary to ex-
tend the system to include all of the
the products of labor not covered by
patents
In conclusion Mr.. Macune said that
the National Alliance had not sent out
single printed petition and that those
petitions and demands now pouring in
upon Congress were the spontaneous Of
ferings of the farmers of the United
States, who were convinced that they
knew what they wanted and were going
to have it.

The Great Kansas City Horse Wins the
kentucky Derby.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 15.-The feat
Ires of the opening day of the spring
meeting of the Louisville Jockey Club
were the great crowd, some very lively
though not particularly heavy betting,
and the mud And then the Kentucky
Derby was run in the slowest time on
record The nearest approach to it was
in 1883 when Leonatus galloped away
from Drake Carter and the rest in a:43.
The Derby was the third race on the
programme and Riley won it because he
was long way the best horse started
None of the other five could touch him
on that muddy track.
There were six starters, as expected
Riley, with Corrigan's green and white
cleaning fresh and clear, was the first
TO show on the track, with Murphy up
and was received with tremendous
cheering, meant as much for the rider
as the horse, Then came Prince Fonso
with Overton up in orange and black,
followed m order by -Palisade, with
Britton in the Melbourne stables blue
hoops and white cap; Bill Letcher, with
Allen up: Robespierre, ridden by Fran
els: and Outlook, ridden by Breckin-
ridge. Letcher and Robespierre were
greeted with rounds of applause.
