have found nineteen dead in the mine: six
more are missing. and it is probable they are
also dead. Ii Is said that all Of the entombed
miners are dead At Z O'Clock this morning the
resculng party discovered one of the Hunga-
rian brothers named Russ in an abandoned
working. He was still alive and said that hs
thought the other men were all safe in one OF
the breasts. This gave rise to the rumor that
all the men were SAFE. Russ died on being
brought 20 the surface. All the men, with the
exception OF those rescued last evening. Il N

Mr.. vEsr's SUGGESTION.
Mr.. Vest said that he was in sympathy with
the general purpose Of Mr.. Plumbs amend
ment, but he suggested whether ten millions
reserved was not too small
Mr. Plumb replied that he did not think that
ten millions was the limit fixed by his amend
ment. Ii simply said that the total amount IN
'he treasury. including such amount as may be
retained for the redemption of treasury notes,
shall not exceed sllO. .O6O. 600
MT Sherman-That is fixed by law at $780,
the matter
Mr.: Plumb-I do not think it is. The law is
not imperative. 1t is permissive only. The
largest amount of Treasury notes presented
LOT redemption in.any one year was Il. coo.
ana me total amount presented in eleven years
was only s2s, 100000
Ihe discussion was further continued by
Senators hiscock and sherman the latter
quoting the law setting apart a hundred
millions OF gold for the redemption of green
backs and declaring that any Secretary of the
treasury who would disregard it would be inn
peachable for a high crime and misdemeanor
Mr.. sHERMASs ARGUMENT.
Mr. Sherman went on TO argue against the
violation OF the sacred pledge given to the
world that sl0O, 600 in gold would be held
in the Treasury for the redemption of Treasury
notes. 1t would be, he said, shock to the
public credit
