HARRISON'S DENOMINATION.
A Very Thin and improbable Story Concern
ing the Presidents Future Intentions.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, June IA Press special
from Washington says: Ex-Civil Service
Commissioner Oberly's organ prints q
double loaded, large headed Story contain
ing the following alleged exclusive infor-
nation from the White House: A gentle
man who enjoys the most intimate relations
with President Harrison and with whom
the executive talks concerning important
matters in the most confidential manner
called at the White House one day during
the past week. The conversation turned
upon the silver question and the probable
ity of the passage OF a free coinage bill by
Congress. The Presidents visitor urged
upon him the benefits of such an act and
the great popularity to be gained by sign
ing it, as well as the advantages which
would accrue to the Republican party by
reason of such legislation. The President
listened to his friend patiently and seri-
ously, and then replied in these terms:
II am not here for the purpose of acting
in the interest of myself or of my party,
but in the interest OF the whole country
and The people. When my term is out
expect to return to Indianapolis and re-
sumo the practice of the law"
''rhese declarations were made in the
tone and manner characteristic of Presi-
dent Harrison and which indicated plainly
to his friend that he had thought long and
deeply on the subject and had made up his
mind upon it. Having arrived at a DELHI
crate determination in this way, the
Presidents decision is unalterable; it can
not be shaken by personal appeals, nor can
he be driven from it by partisan considera
tions. So his friend came away fully CON
WINGED that President Harrison was not
and would not be candidate for re-nomi-
nation and reelection, but that he had
reached the final and settled conclusion to
serve out his term, doing what seemed best
to him in all matters as they arose, and
then to return to his quiet life as practic-
ing lawyer in the courts of Indiana
The Republican leaders here generally
ridicule this talk Chairman Belden, of the
congressional committee, who is exceed
ingly close to the President declares that
Mr.. Harrison is not in the habit of discuss
ing such questions with persons who would
tell the newspapers all about it, as it is sc
long before campaign begins He believed
the article was fake. Senator Hale char
acterized it as nonsense, and Senator His
| cock agreed with him.

The Dunbar Nine Disaster.

DUNBAR, Penna., June 19-The progress
made last night by the rescuing party has
not been as satisfactory as hoped. The men
are still working steadily, but there has
been great deal of fallen wreckage en-
countered. 1t has been decided to attempt
an entrance through another lead 1t is
barely possible the men are still alive, as
the draft last night suddenly increased,
which can only be accounted for by either
fall of rock or men digging TO meet the
escuers.
The town is wild with excitement to-
night. The rescuing party heard coming
through the wall of the coal and slate on
which they were working faint sound oft
repeated, which was Enthusiastically that of
a miners pick. The news spread like wild
fire to the surface and thence through the
village. In short time a thousand men,
women and children were crowded about
the entrance to the mine. Mean while the
rescurers set to work with renewed vigor
Only two men at time can work in the
passage where they are aad these are
being constantly relieved. The miners
express varying opinions as to the length
of time it will take them to reach
the imprisoned men, some saying ten hours,
others twenty -four. The rescurers fear no
danger and are not likely to meet with any
trouble. There is the widest speculation
as to how many of the unfortunate men are
alive. The miners express fear that
most of them were killed by the explosion.
Late to night General Manager Haggard
said they have hopes of reaching the men
before daylight. a corps of physicians is
waiting in readiness and every provision
| is made to take care of such as may be
alive. The suspense among the anxious
watchers above Is awful.

THE COLD SNAP
Of Last March has Done Great Damage to the
Countrys Fruit Crop

Especial to THE misunderstanding Dispatch
New YORK, June 19.-American commits
sion merchants say that the cold snap of
March last extending from Florida to Can
ada, and taking in the eastern and middle
states, nipping the blossoms of trees. will
result in a large shrinllage of the fruit SUP
ply. Mr.. Goodsell informed your reporter
that the peach crop of New Jersey and
Delaware, which last year amounted to
considerably over million bushels, would
this year hardly reach five hundred flush
els, and these would be of inferior quality.
He also said that the large shrinkage.
though not to such great extent in some
directions, extended over the entire fruit
supply OF New England and the middle
states, and that the loss to agriculturists
was estimated at not less than four or five
millions of dollars.
-Ten years ago." said Mr. Goodsell,
''this blow would have been irreparable.
and the country would have had to endure
fruit famine with what grace it could,
but this year the gate of deliverance is
opened in California. The crop of that
state this season is unusually large, and
the unprecedented energy expended in
fruit culture during the last decade has
produced a supply equal to the present de-
mand." AS an indication of the increased
yield of fruit in California, Mr.. Goodsell
instanced Riverside, which shipped in 1880
fifteen carloads of fruit, while in 1855 the
fruit shipped from there amounted to 926
carloads

A MEMORABLE DAY.
The Citizens of Bohemian Visit
the City of Butte.
THE VILLAGE OF WHITEHALL,
Montana, Is the Scene of Heartrending
Accident-COlOnel Ingersoll DenOunces1
ViyisectiOn as the He'll of Science.

BUTTE, Mont, June 19.-[Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. To-day will long
be memorable in the history of Butte, it
being the occasion of visit from the citi-
zens of Bozeman in a body. The recent
completi of branch of the Northern
Pacific between these two places has
resulted in much closer commercial and
social relations of which to- ay's visit was
but the expression. The train bearing the
excursion consisted of eight coaches and
each one was loaded to the door, the total
number being over eight hundred. They
were met at the depot by the mayor and
city council and members of the board Of
trade besides hundreds of citizens gathered
to extend a general welcome to the
visitors. After Mayor Walton had
extended to them the freedom of the city, an
eloquent address of welcome was delivered
by Hon. w. a. Clark. The visitors were
| then taken over the city in carriages after
which lunch was served in the Lyceum
theatre. The day was then given up to
| sightseeing and in getting better acquaint-
ed. The excursion left shortly before mid
night tonight more than pleased with
Butte and her citizens. Itwa a complete
success and will result in feeling of
friendship which will be of great benefit to
both places.

preventing collisions at sea.
To authorize corporations to become
surety in certain cases in courts of the
United States.
The Senate resumed consideration of the
legislative, executive and appropriation

Ali the committee amendments having

and OF the assistant commissioner from
S., 600 to $500. Without action the bill
was laid aside.
A message of the President in relation to
reciprocal commercial treaties with the
Latin American nations was laid on the
table. In connection with it Hale pre-
sented an amendment to be offered to the
tariff bill as follows: "And the President
of the United States, who is hereby author
lied without further legislation to declare
the ports OF the United States free and

ADDRESS PRESENTED TO STANLEY
pute With Germany-Gold Shipments
From New York

LONDON, June 19.-Replying to ques-
lions regarding the transfer of Heligsland
to Germany in the house of lords tonight
Lord Salisbury said there were no grounds
for supposing the inhabitants objected to
the transfer except as regards conscrip-
ton, and this was provided against in the
agreement
In the commons the government is
nearly defeated in the vote on the first
clause of the licensing bill, it stand
ing 22S yeas to pa nays. The
Conservatives had expected Storey to
continue his speech to-day but he
did not resume and a division was taken at
once. During the count there was panic
on the government side, several Parnell-

were absent.
1t is stated tonight that Archbishop
Walsh has written letter to the Freeman's
Journal severely lecturing absentee Par

satisfactory explanation of their absence
he will find it hard to place further trust
in the Irish party.

The Silver Bill Referred.

CoICAGo, June ia Washington special
to the Herald says that while nine tenths of
the members of the House of Representa-
tives are expecting fight over the ques-
ton of reference of the silver bill to-day.
the bill is reposing calmly in the custody
of the committee OF coinage, weights and
measures, and no one knows when it will
be reported. As the committee is said to
be unfavorable to the measure it may be
presumed that the bill will not be reported
in hurry. The speaker, under one of the
new rules, quietly referred the bill with
out laying it before the House. Reed is
opposed to the BILL but he made careful
canvass of the House yesterday and de-
clared free coinage bill would be carried

authorizing the President to declare the
ports of the United States free to the pro-
auctions of any American nation upon
which no export dues are charged, so long
as such nation shall admit free to its ports
the manufactures and products of the
United States
The President, in transmitting the COM
munication, says: $50 often and persist
emily has 1T been stated that our tariff
laws offered an nsurmountable barrier to
a large exchange of products with the
Latin American nations that l deem it
proper to call especial attention to the fact
that more than 81 per cent. of the products
of those nations sent to our ports are now
admitted free. If sugar is placed upon the
free list, practically every important ar
ticle exported from those states will be
given untaXed access to our markets, eX-
cept wool. The real difficulty in the way
of negotiating profitable reciprocity treat
les is that we have gwen freely so much
that would have been of value in the
mutual concessions which such treaties
imply that / cannot doubt, however, that
the present advantages which the product
of the near and friendly states enjoy in
our markets, though they are not by law
exclusive, will, with other considerations,
favorably dispose them to adopt such
measures by treaty or otherwise, as will
tual exchanges. 1t will certainly be time for
US to consider whether we must cheaper the
cost of production by cheapening labor in
order to gain access to South American
markets when we have fairly tried the
effect of established and reliable steam
communication and convenient methods of
money exchanges. There can be doubt
think that with these facilities well estab-
lished and with a rebate of duties upon i'll
IL,
ture of goods for export, our merchants
will be able to compete in the
ports of the Latin American nations
with those of any other country. If, after
| Congress shall have acted upon the pend
ing tariff Legislation, it shall appear that
under the general treaty making power, OF
under any special powers given by law, oul
trade with the states represented in the
! conference can be enlarged, upon a basis
of material advantage, it will be promptly
done"
Secretary Blaine to-day received a tele-
gram from the chairman of the National
MiIlers convention, Minneapolis, which
says the millers are greatly agitated ovel
the report that an additional duty of 81
cents per barrel will be imposed on Amer
lean flour in Cuba, thus prohibiting
the American flour trade, and asking
information. Secretary Blaine replied he
had no Official advice, but II correct, the
advance would make the duty 1871 pei
barrel, and was evidently intended by
Spain to be prohibition. He added: 81
has been constantly said heretofore the
last six months that the western farmer
demand an unconditional repeal of the suga
duty. 1t is within the power of the west
ern farmers by encouraging system o
reciprocity, to secure in exchange for tn
repeal of this duty the free admission o
their bread stuffs and provisions into tn
markets of 40,000000 of people, includin
Cuba In my opinion, this is the most Pre-
fitable policy for the western farmer"

An Address to Stanley.

LONDON, June Stanley was presented
with an address at Berwick to-day. In
reply he spoke in the most enthusiastic
terms of the wisdom of Salisbury's settle
ment with Germany of the African cues
ton. BY the agreement 500 square miles
of territory are added to the British pos
sessions in Africa. Instead Of dolorous
TRADE against the prime minister, Stanley
said now is the time to sing pean in his
honor 1t is now possible to realize the
great dream of those concerned in the ex-
ploration and civilization of Africa from
the Cape of Good Hope to Cairo
Stanley, in receiving the freedom of
Newcastle, repeated his laudations of Sal
isbury, dwelling with enthusiasm upon the
prospects in Africa. He said he was conf
dent that if he could muster all the chiefs
of the regions that England had acquired,
they would acquiesce in the opinion that
the date of agreement would be a red letter

Philip M. Peabody, of this city. The Colo

part the crimes of passion, we take into
consideration the fact that a man is liable
to be caught by whirling passion. and that
from brain on fire the soul rushes to
crime. But what excuse can ingenuity
form for man who, deliberately, with un-

Heartrendering Accident at whitehall,

BUTTE, Mont, June 10 Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. The little town of
Whitehall, about thirty two miles from
this place on the .Bozeman branch, was the
scene of a terrible tragedy shortly after
6 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Hubert,
comely young French woman, undertook
to hasten the breakfast fire by pouring
kerosene upon it from a large can, In
some way the oil was igEited and in an in
slant the unfortunate woman was deluged
in burning fluid. Frightened beyond con-
troll, she ran screaming into the yard and
made such frantic effort to escape the
flames that all attempts Of her husband to
save her were futile. Her clothing was
burned entirely from her body by the time
she could be brought within reach of as
sistance and nothing could bone to save
her life. She fingered on until IL O'Clock,
suffering most horrible agony until almost
| the last moment when death came to her
relief. The entire community is in mourn
| lug over the sad affair as Mrs. Hubert
was general favorite.

REEDS PROGRAMME
For DOmineering the House Fails
for Once.
THE AUTOCRAT OF CONGRESS-
Undertakes to Bulldoze Democrats and Re-
publicans Alike by Treating the Silver
Bill as His Own.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1S.-TSpecial
telegram To THE HERALD. The Reed pro-
gramme was defeated to-day and the House
resumed the control of its own business. 1t
was the first time this session that Speaker
Reed has stood helpless before a House
which refused to be bound by the gag of the
previous question and insisted on &C tally
debating the matter before it. The speaker
tried one of his bold assumptions of power
and il he could have draggoncd his own fol-
lowers into supporting him it would have
been a clever trick of political merit when
he referred the silver bill to the committee
on coinage without the consent of the
House. as l telegraphed you last night,
he took the heroic course to smother it. He
took position in which no Democrat,
whether a believer in free silver or gold
basis, could sustain him. He sought to
draw the party line and TO place on the Re
publican side of it the opponents of free
silver and on the other side the whole
Democratic party. The assistance which
the eastern Democrats stood ready to rem
der him in any fight against free coinage he
deliberately threw away in the hope of max
ing up the loss from his own party In this
he failed. Many of the eastern Democrats,
those who would have looked upon the
fight between the silver men and the
speaker with absolute Indifference, as they
did not much care which won, although
they could not but resent the speakers
extraordinary action towards those who
voted to leave the silver bill in the posses
sion of the House. But as one of them
MIR. Turner, of New York, expressed il
after adjournment: az am a good free
coinage man until the votes come to be-
taken on the bill.n The House refused tC
leave the silver bill in the hands of the
committee on coinage and adjourned with.
out making final disposition of it.
The vote was not a test of the relative
strength of the friends and opponents O.
free coinage, for no Democrat who opposed
free coinage would vote to sustain Speaker
Reed, and on the other hand, number O
free coinage Republicans did vote to sus
tain him. The probability is that the bill
will soon get into conference and that from
that conference will be evolved a bill
which will make the purchase of $4,000
ounces monthly mandatory and make tn
notes legal tender while taking away iron
the secretary all discretionary powe
in the matter of redemption. Such
measure, Senator Teller informs me to
day, will be entirely satisfactory to tn,
free coinage men. They will, he added, b
satisfied with nothing less, preferring t
return empty handed to their constituent
upon the record made by them and try
over again in the next Congress.
