Munroe prohibiting aliens, other than those
who have declared their intention of becom-
ing citizens of the United States, from being
employed on any stste, county or municipal

ton, passed the house to-day by vote of
50 to 3.
Mr.. Ballentyne moved to take UP his bill

This bill would put an end to division bills.
1t was defeated by large majority.
The Democratic senators and representa-.
lives held caucus last night to consider
the senatorial situation. They were in
session three or four hours, but what was
done, if anything, cannot be ascertained.
as none of them will as much as drop an
animation.
The senate spent the day discussing the
house bill requiring persons removing stock
to drive back all that do not belong to the
band. The bill is for the protection of
farmers and small stock owners against
those driving large bands of cattle.

HELENA, Mont, Feb. Especial tele.
gram to THE HERALD. Bob Ingersoll
made brief argument in the supreme
court this morning in the mandamus pro-
ceeding in the Davis will case. The an.
nouncement that this great orator was to
address the court was sufficient to fill the
court room and Railways of the building
leading to the room.
The alleged will was called up for pro.
bate in the lower court Monday when the
contestants secured writs of prohibition
and mandamus on the ground that no legal
jury had been drawn. The Judge of the
court appeared before the supreme bench
to-day and made his return, claiming that
there was legal jury in his court Inger-
soil argued on behalf of the contestants
that there was not.
Other prominent lawyers present en-
gagged in this fight for the millions left by
Davis were Judge Woolworth, of Omaha,
Judge Trimble, of Iowa, and Nathaniel
Meyers of New York.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The estimate sent
to Congress by the secretary of war to
supply the deficiency in the quartermas-
ter's department shows the cost of the
Indian campaign just closed was 81, 300, 900,
The principal items of this are $685. 900
for the transportation of troops and sup
plies, S1SS,000 for extra clothing, camp and
garrison equipage necessary to fit out for a
winter campaign; SIC, 900 to replace horses
broken down in the campaign and for the
purchase of ponies and SS7, 900 to cover the
differences in cost of supplies purchased
for troops in the field and contract prices
at the posts from which the troops were
drawn.
There were other expenses under the
supply department that will probably
bring the cost of the campaign up to s., 600,
coo, sum sufficient to have given the
Sioux the 100000 annual appropriation
promised them for period CT twenty years.
The House committee on territories to-
day agreed to report substitute for Man
sur's bill for opening the Cherokee outlet
to settlement 1t will provide in brief for
payment to the Indians for the land at the
rate of S1.25 per acre, and for opening the
land to settlement under the homestead

ions to prevent illegal entry to lands prior
to their opening, and will carry an appro.
priation of 81. 490,0 600.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. mckinley asked
unanimous consent that during the re.
mainder Of the session the House meet al
II am, but Rogers, of Arkansas, objected.
The House then went in committee of the
whole on the diplomatic and consular an.
preparation bill. During the debate on the
bill, McAdoo, Of New Jersey, gave his
hearty assent to the position taken by the
secretary of state relative to reciprocity
with Canada. The United States should
have unrestricted trade and commercisl
union with Canada or it should have no
commercial relations with her. The only
resolution of the problem, IA solution
unsought by the United States,n was that
the people of Canada should in their SOW
erelgnty ask for annexation, which was
the ultimate destiny of Canada
The bill. after further discussion, was
laid aside with favorable recommen lation.
and the committee proceeded to considera.
ton of the sundry civil appropriation bill.
Gambler spoke in favor of the amendment
instructing the secretary OF the treasury
not to approve the payment of any expense
attendant upon the meeting of the Worlds
Columbian commission or board of LADY,
managers, except such meetings as may be
called at the time of the dedication and
opening of the Worlds fair. Pending fur
ther discussion, the committee rose and the
diplomatic appropriation bill passed.
The conference report was adopted on the
bill providing for an additional Justice of

THE PACIFIC CABLE.
Sir John Macdonald Receives ar
Important Communication
From Hon. Audley Coate, of Sydney, Con-
corning the Same-What the Colonies
are Willing to Do-The Route.
Especial to TIE MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch. l
OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 4.-Sir John Mac
donald has received an important commu-
nicaUion from Hon. Audley Coate, M. L.
c., of Sydney, N. S. W., regarding the pro
iected trans-Paciflc cable. Mr.. Coate.
among other things, says: 'tAs one of the
original projectors of Pacific cable to
Australia, l have the honor to send you a
few particulars as to the present condition
of negotiations on this side. 1t was at first
arranged that the cable should start from
San Francisco, but after conference held
in London, in 1888, the whole negotiations
tended toward the Canadian Pacific shores,
with Vancouver as it's terminus The
official letters from Canada to the govern
ment OF Australia on the subject of COM
merce and mail service through the Pacific
have been well considered, and the opinion
Is that conference, to which Canada will
send two delegates, should not take place
during the time the federal convention is
sitting, but that any early day thereafter
should be named. The federal convention
referred to meets in Sydney March 2, 1891,
and will, in all probability, last for over
two months.
~ have just returned from visiting
Queensland, New South Wales, and Victo-
RIA on matters connected with the cable,
and | have seen the premier and postmas-
ter-general of each colony. They have
each promised me they will appoint two
delegates to a conference to meet the
Canadian delegates, and that the Pacific
cable project will be discussed at that con-
ference, and whatever the recommends
tons of that conference may be. they will
submit them to their several parliaments
and give them their best support, to which
Tasmania has agreed to do likewise.
Within the last week three of the gov
ernments of Australia guarantee to share
the loss, if any, with the eastern extension
OF the cable company. The projected route
is Vancouver to Hawaii, thence to Samoa,
thence TO Fiji, thence to Auckland The
whole cost will be e2,0O0,O0O, and the guar
antee is expected to extend to about
$50, 900 per annum.
THE feeling in Australia is that each
colony should contribute on basis of its
population, Canada coming in on fair terms.
Hawaii passed an act of parliament some
years ago, which is still alive giving as her
share $4,000 year for fifteen years, and a
similar amount is expected from Fiji"

The FIGHT ON DUBOIS

LEGISLATION AGAINST ALIENS

Distinguished Lawyers in Helena

WASHINGTON, Feb Especial telegram
to The HERALD. The eastern papers are
printing daily kilograms from Boise City
about the Idaho senatorial complications.
AT the capital the situation is very gener-
ally discussed, and both Shoup and Nc
Cornell are asked a score of times day
TO shed little light on the subject. Gov
ernor Shoup received two kilograms today
from Boise. One was sent by his brother
and the other by Joseph Pinkham. Both
agreed Claggett would in the end be de-
feated and that he would within few
days abandon the fight Pinkham's tele-
gram was very bitter against Claggett and
his followers, whom he characterized as
''mugwumpsn
There is an impression here, notwith-
standing these rose-colore6 statements,
that the situation in Idaho is more alarm
ing to Dubois than he and his senatorial
associates are willing to acknowledge.
Mcconnell tells me that counting the Dem
ocrats, Claggett already has twenty two
votes and that by adroit combinations he
may secure six more. Shoup says if this
be done that the real fight will come when
an attempt is made to unite them in favor
of one man. He thinks this is the rock on
which they will ultimately go to pieces.
Meanwhile the Democratic Senators here
are hoping that Claggett may succeed.
They believe if he should be elected that
enough of the silver Republicans will unite
with them to give him his seat They
argue that if Claggett shall be seated
through their influence he will vote with
them on the principal question in dispute
between the two parties, which would be
tantamount to a net Democratic gain of
two as the Senate is now constituted.

The House Coinage Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-When the House
coinage committee met this morning Repre-
sentative McCarty read a communication
from William E. St. John, the New York
banker, arguing in favor of the Senate sill
yer bill and ridiculing the predictions of
dire disaster made by opponents OF the bill
if it should be enacted.
Francis G. Newlands declared Germany
would never have succeeded in demonetiz-
ing silver without the cooperation OF ons
of the strongest nations of the earth the
United States. Bismarck himself had since
pronounced the movement mistake But
in that movement Germany had found as
an assistant not a Eropean nation, but the
United States, a nation struggling toward
specie payment. When the Bland act had
passed, bankers predicted all our gold
would leave the country. Yet in 1880 after
the passage of that act the gold in >circula-
ton was s26S, 000,00 as against SIC, 1000, 900
in 1870 Predictions of disaster had thick
ened during the ten years following yet in
1890, after the passage of the present act,
the gold circulation increased to 1886, coo goo.
AS it was nearing the hour of adjournment
Bartiue moved that when the committee
adjourned to- day it be to meet tomorrow
mt 10 80 O'Clock. After d somewhat testy
debate the motion was carried on a viva
voce vote.

The Cause of the Indian TronbIes.

MINNEAPoLIs, Feb. 1.-THE Erening Jour
nal tonight publishes an interview on the
recent Indian trouble, in which, after a
defense of the Indians in the recent
scrimmage, by prominent Dakota
man whose name is withheld, Gus
Beaulieu, a resident of st. Paul, and
widely known among the Indians of the
northwest, says: 1.-The whole truth of this
sad business will come out some day. ]
think 1T was two months preceding the
Custer massacre that Miles and his soldiers
rushed in upon Indian village in Montana
and shot down every man, woman and child
in it without mercy. There were between
two hundred and three hundred Indians
killed. The village being far from the
telegraph, information of the horrible af-
fair was not known till after the Custer
massacre, and then, of course, the public
mind was so occupied with the Custer mas
sacre that no attention was paid to the
previous massacre of the Indians.
After speaking of the breaking of trea-
ties, he said: THE Indians throughout
the entire northwest are collecting facts
regarding the white outrages in Montana
and the failure Of the government every
where to keep treaties. Certain chiefs
will be designated to go to Washington to
present their wrongs and grievances, and
more especially to expose the whole truth
in regard to the outrage committed before
the Custer massacre

DROWNED IN A MINE
The Terrible Fate of Eighteen
Coal Miners.
THE SORROW OF THEIR FAMILIES
The Water Came from Some Old Abandoned
WOrkings-An Account of the Wrongs
of the Indians.

HAzLEToN, Pa, Feb. A terrible acct
dent occurred at Jonesville this morning
whereby eighteen men lost their lives The
accident occurred in slope TO-, operated by
j. G. Hayden & Co. The workings are
situated Immediately under old workings
known as No. s, which were worked out
some five years ago and filed with water
The cause of the disaster was due to the
drilling of hole through pillar, which
liberated the immense body of water con-
fined in the old workings, flooding the new
workings and drowning all the men in that
portion of the mine. The dead are Law
renee Reed, James Grifiths, Edward
Gallagher James Ward, Harry Bull, Joseph
Matskowitch, Bareey McCloskey, Patrick
Kelly, James Wiasto, Mike Smith. John
Berno, Tom Glik, Tom Askaskay, Joe
Astro, Bosco Frinko, Thomas Breko and
two unknown Hungarians. Several of
these men are married, and have large
families.
William Brisden one of the seven men
who escaped from the mine, says he felt
the wind coming when the men broke
through the old slope. He yelled to his
companions to run for their lives or all
would be drowned. In moment the rush
OF water came, and Brisden, Henry Glib
| bon, John Moline, John Boyle, Charles
Boyle, William Coyle, and Patrick Coll
barely escaped. The water rose rapidly
and before any attempt could be made to
rescue the rest o. the workmen the water
flowed in, and in five minutes the slope,
which is GA feet deep, was filled to the
mouth, and the eighteen men who but q
few hours before with light hearts left the
bright sunshine ard clear sky to descend
into the dark cavern, were buried in a
Watery grave.
News Of the disaster created the widest
excitement, and the mouth of the slope
was soon thronged with people. The
scenes of anguish that ensued cannot be
depicted. The weather, which was bitterly
cold, did not have any effect toward dimin-
lshing the crowd, and it was only after the
terrible result was made plain that none of
the entombed men were living or could
possibly be reached until all the water was
pumped out of the slope, that the grief
stricken friends of the unfortunate men
could be induced to 60 to their homes.
The firm of Hayden & Co. will pump the
water out as rapidly as the machinery
placed in position can do the work. How
long it will take is a question, since no
definite idea of the volume Of water can be
ascertained Some of the miners say it
will take four weeks.
Many theories are advanced as to the
cause of the great disaster. Some charge
IL to neglect to notify the workmen Of the
dangerous proximity of water.

Parnell and the English Liberala.

DUBLIN, Feb. 1.-THE Freeman's Journal
to-day announces that Parnell held short
friendly and important conference with
O'Brien at Calais on Monday The Nc
Carthyites are also in conference. The re-
suits of these deliberations will be published
at the end of the week.
There is no truth in the report that an
absolute settlement of matters in dispute
in the Irish parliamentary party has been
arrived at. ParneH yesterday informed his
colleagues that he believed that in a few
days home rule, such as he had always de-
manded, would be assured.
The Express says Parnell compelled Nc
earthly to accept the attitude Parnell vainly
asked him to assume in November. The
