A FATAL TUNNEL ENTERED.
Clearing . Workings Wherein Eight
Miners Lost Their Lives.

The men who are clearing up the workings
Of the South Wilkesbarre. Pa, mine, in which
the bodies Of the eight men killed in the dis
aster last February are still entombed, yester-
day entered the fatal tunnel in which the fire
broke on. which cut the men off fro m all chance
of escape. They are proceeding very slowly,
for the tunnel is blocked by fallen roof and
rubbish, and it has to be cleared out and new
timbers put up. 1t is probable that the bodies
of the men will be found in the tunnel where
they were overcome by the fire in attempting
to escape

A CHlLD'S CRUEL TREATMENT.
Her Mother Keeps Her in a Darkened
Room for Six Years.

The Newburgh, MY, Society for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Children yesterday caused
the arrest of Eliza Steckler, German woman,
charged with imprisoning her nine-year-o old
daughter and allowing her none OF the advan-
tages or privileges OF life.
For six years the child has been confined in
a kitchen, With closed blinds, except when she
was occasionally given an airing in the yard
The woman had become insane from trouble
and the long confinement had made the child
an imbecile, and she could scarcely speak a
word. The mother was sent to the almshouse
and the child to the Children's Home

THE OLD MISSION CEMETERY.
Instructions About Its Removal to Hol,

Instructions About Its Removal to Holy
Rev George Montgomery, Chancellor of
the Archdiocese, has written the following
letter regarding the removal of the old Mis-
sio nDOlores Cemetery:
To Whom II May Concern-I beg to say that
by order OF the municipal authorities the bodies
now buried in that portion of the old Mission
Cemetery, fronting Dolores street. will have
TO be removed.
The portion OF tie cemetery thus affected Is 80
by 20 feet. For the information OF those own
ing plats there, viii say that the same number
of feet that they own in the Mission Cemetery
will be given TO them in Holy Cross Cemetery,
san MateO County, and the work of disnterring
them.
The only expense they VIII have to Incur Will
be the transportation Of the bodies, including
Znc-llned box, required by law, and for the re-
mOyal OF monuments.
j would ask hose interested In this matter to
suffer no anxiety about IL; The work Will be
under competent supervision. and VIII be done
as expeGlIlously as possible and with all due re-
gard for the prophecies OF the case.
l take this opportunity OF saying to those who
may own plats in any part OF the old Mission
Cemetery that, as il is only matter OF very
short time when al! the bodies there Inferred
will have TO be removed, 1t would be 10 the ad-
vantage of plat-ow to avail themselves OF the
offer made 10 those In the part affected by the
present order. The same terms Will be extended
10 them, and the work eau then be done gradu-
ally and satisfactorily TO all concerned. For
further Information apply at the Office OF Calvary

BLAINE, DEPEw AND REED.


In the East an idea prevails that either
Secretary Blaine, Chauncey Depew or
Speaker Reed will be the next Republican
candidate for the Presidency. The East
does not propose 10 give the West but one
term. Harrison and Allison and other
Western aspirants, il there are any, are not
regarded in the East with special favor.
OF the three mentioned Mr.. Blaine is the
one whose vision is as broad as the CONT
nent. Blaine is an American before he is
an Eastern man, but the other two are. in a
sense. local men. Mr.. Depew would easily
broaden out, but his ideas and associations
are essentially Eastern. He spends
month or so in Europe nearly every year,
but there is no record of his ever having
seen the Mississippi. He has been twice to
Chicago, once when the last Republican
National Convention was in session and
again week or so ago Sneaker Reed is a
tremendous party engine, but he will prob
ably have to wait term or two for the
Pres dency. He made no Western friends
the other day when he took the floor in the
house and succeeded in getting party vote
to adopt the bullion redemption clause in
the Silver Bill, which the Senate promptly
disposed of.

HUMoRs OF THE CENSUS.

The census is cutting into tender spots.
Cities which have plumed themselves upon
containing larger population than they
really housed are in an agony lest the CEN
us-taker should tell the truth and explode
their boasts. One of these is Minneapolis,
MINI. Every one knows that between
Minneapolis and ST. Paul-which are only
eight miles distant-the rivalry is so in
tense that st. Paul man would rather fast
in his own city than feast in Minneapolis,
and vice versa. When strangers visit Min
nesota they are warned that if they break
fast in one city they must dine in the other.
under penalty of being mobbed in one or
the other. The other day the census-taker
took his figures for Minneapolis, and a
dreadful rumor got whispered round that
his footings knocked off cool hundred
thousand from the newspaper estimates of
the population Of the city. The people
rose as one man. A volunteer corps of
enumerators was mustered. Citizens were
besought TO call at certain Offices in each
ward, and give in their numbers. Four
thousand men and women volunteered to
count the people, and at latest dates they
were doing it with vengeance. In the
meantime. St Paul, which has been through
the census mill in the usual way, crashes
its teeth, and insists that the Superintend-
ent of the census shall throw out the Min
neapolis volunteer count as unauthorized,
fictitious and fraudulent
Dragging on population, which is a COM
mon fault in juvenile communities, is di-
version which cuts both ways. If city, in
order to exaggerate its own Importance,
lays claim in one census to larger popula-
ton than it really contains, it finds itself
confronted at the next census, when brag-
ging may have gone out of fashion, by fig
ures which apparently indicate decline and
decay. We know how it was ourselves, in
the matter of the school census. 1t is prob
ably easy for Minneapolis, by duplicating
returns, to make out that it has still further
widened the difference between itself and
St Paul; but it will not be long before the
census-taker will be round again, and If it
does not show the usual increase over 1890,
people will be justified in saying that it has
seen it's best days, and Is on the downward
turn.
The census will probably contain many
surprises. Among these, perhaps, will be
the discovery that the wheat and corn

THE SILVER BILL IN THE SENATE.

The three votes taken in the Senate on
amendments to the House Silver Bill we're
IN the interest Of silver. First the Senate
voted down the amendment reported by the
Senate Finance Committee on the House
bill striking out the provision that the
Treasury notes issued in payment of silver
bullion shall be legal tender in payment Of
all debts public and private. The Senate
voted to accept the amendment striking out
the bullion redemption clause and rejected
the third amendment striking out the sec
ton providing for the free coinage of silver
when the market price is 81 for % grains.
If the bill as it stands is accepted by the
House We shall have silver act requiring
the purchase and coinage Of $4,000, 600 worth
Of silver each month; that the notes issued
in payment of such bullion shall be legal
tender for all public and private debts, and
that free coinage shall follow Immediately
upon the appreciation of silver to the old
ratio of 1855 to gold. The rejection of
the bullion redemption clause in the House
bill removes the only real objection to the
House bill. If the House accepts the bill
as it now stands it will provide as good a
silver act as is possible under present condi-
tiDUS

EDITORIAL NOTES.

China has determined to hasten the sur
yey of the proposed railroad to Kirin, the
chief town of the provinces of Central
Manchuria. This determination has evil
IDENTIFY been the result of Russian progress
on the Trans-Siberia Railway. The new
line is regarded as absolutely necessary for
defensive purposes against both natural
and foreign foes. 1t would be of vast
strategic importa nee connecting the small
railway system already constructed with
the large military post established by the
Emperor Kanghi during the wars with the
Eleuts.
The motive for Spain's determination to
place large fleet in the waters of the
Philippine Islands is now apparent. About
year ago China's request for permission to
establish consulates in the Spanish colonies
of the Pacific was declined. China has
since followed this up with a naval demon
stratiOn, the Peiyang squadron, under Adj
mirals Lang and Ting, having cruised in
the waters of SPANS possessions to show
that she has a very decent fleet.
The discussion of the proposition to appro-
pirate So 00O.000 for new mint building at
Philadelphia has resulted in strong opposi-
ton to the measure, Western and Southern
congressman arguing luiI IueIS IS no Ted-
son why the Government should maintain
mint at Philadelphia. The present estab-
lishment was located in that city when 1t
was the capital, but now it is claimed the
new building should be located at Wash
ington.
The Senate has radically amended the
House Silver Bill by substituting Plumb's
free coinage provision for the one directing
the monthly purchase of S4,500,0O0 worth of
silver bullion. The passage Of this bill,
however, has not solved the silver problem,
for it remains to be seen whether the ideas
of the Senate, the House or the President
shall prevail. 1t is hoped that concessions
will bring about satisfactory solution.
The Senate Tariff Bill will probably be
reported to-day. The Senate Committee on
Finance has made much more rapid prog
ress than expected, but there are a num-
Der of points the committee was unable to
agree upon. The bill has, however, been
completed so far as practicable, and the
solution OF knotty points will be left to the
Senate.
The milk supply of Philadelphia. if the
telegraphic reports are not exaggerated,
must be in a shocking condition. Evidently
the diaries are not run by Quakers.

such stupendous strides in population in
the two decades ending in 1880. have not
kept up their rate of progress. 1t is doubt
full if Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin
and Minnesota have increased as much in
population during the past decade as their
previous growth had led people to expect
States with but one or two resources cannot
digest large influx of new people-except
for brief period. When the farmer got
81 bushel for his wheat and 80 cents
bushel for his corn on the farm, Europe and
the New England States emptied their sur
plus population into these new sections of
country without crowdiDg them. But the
production was overdone, and States which
have no other source of subsistence but
growing these two cereals have been rather
repelling than attracting settlers for some
