WOMAN IN THE CASE.
A snsckmaii'ag scheme That Works IN
Far Washington.

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 5.--A story is
printed here Co the effect that young
and very pretty woman who goes under
the name OF Mrs. Emma Grey has been
blackmailing state officers and politicians
at Olympia Her plan was To send an
intended visitor her card and invite him
to call at her apartments. As soon rs a
man was seated she locked the door and
told him she would scream and summon
help IL money was not forthcoming. The
police made al effort to induce two OF
the victims 10 prosecute the woman, but
they would not do so.
She told several persons that her right
name was Emma Holman: that she was
the daughter OF Congressman Holman. OF
Indiana, and has shown letters which
would tend to confirm her; but Ii Is be-
iieved here that the woman IA well con-
nected In the east and that she has got
hold of letters addressed " a friend OF
hers from some one by the name OF Hol-
man. She came TO Olympia about two
weeks ago.

Senator ingalls, Feels That He
Must State His Posi-
ton.
He Always Was Opposed to anything
Like Closure, Even When
Presiding,
And Regarded the Elections Bill as q
Cumbrous, Unfair and In
expedient Measure.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Sin the senate
among the bills reported and placed on
| the calendar was one for an increase oil
pension TO the widow OF Gen. Custer 10
500 per month. Mr.. ingalls, rIsng to a
question Of privilegeK made state
ment In regard 10 his attitude ON the
closure rule and election bill which, he
be said, had been the subject
OF c eminent. of censure and of
inadversion. He had been opposed, he
said, unalterabiy opposed TO the adop-
ton OF the closure rule for many rea-
sons sufficient and satisfactory To him
self. There were those present who
knew that, many months ago, while oc-
cupying the chair In the absence OF the
vice president, he had resisted many
urgent opportunities and many strenuous
solicitations 10 co operate In that direction
by methods which he then believed and
now believed were revolutionary aud
subvertive of the fundamental principles
OF a constitutional government. He had
not since seen any occasion TO change or
modify his convictions He now and
always had been In favor of n just
and impartial election law;
directed alike against force and
fraud. non-partisian and applicable
equally TO all parts OF the nation. The
measure under consideration, did not, In
many OF its details, receive the sanction
OF his Judgment. Ii appears 10 be cum
brous, complicated, or obscure In many
OF It's provisions, and dlfficult OF applics-
tion. In order TO guard against the en-
actment OF any such measure into a law,
In his absence and without amendments
which he regarded as essential to pre-
vent dangers not less distinct than those
which 1t was intended TO owiate, he had
reserved the right TO vote In his absence
with the republicans who favored
the consideration of other important
measures unless these notifications were
made. He had no arrangement, agree
ment or understanding, express or I'm
piled, direct or indirect, remote or con-
tinRent, To have his vote converted
against the passage OF the election bill,
and In that statement he was con-
vinced he would be confirmed and
by Senator Allison. from
Iowa. He was as ready DOW As he al
ways had been to proceed with Its con-
ssderation. He had been republican
since tho party began. Since that
period he had never espoused cause
which he believed 10 be wrong because IL
was popular. and had never refused to
a cause which he believed TO be
right because Ii was unpopular

WASHINGTON, FEB, 5.-The presidents
of the state organizations OF the Ma

the purpose OF formulating certain
measures for presentation To congress.
The committee on silver legislation
has made It's report, urging upon con
gress the demand heretofore made by
the National Farmers alliance for the
Tree and unremittent coinage OF silver
upon the same terms and conditions that
gold IL now coined. The report says In
part:
We regard q as "a high duty enJoined
upon congress by the constitution TO pro-
vide for the unlimited coinage OF both the
precious metals, gold aud silver to the end
that the people OF the several states may
be provided with "A circulating medium.
We express our surprise. regret and indig-

HAzLgroN, Pa, Feb 5.--A terrible

dent occurred In slope 10, operated by j.
c. HAYDEN a. Co. The working. Is sit

ings, known as No. 8, worked out some
FIVE years ago aud filled with water. The
cause OF the disaster was Dire IN the
drilling of a hole through pillar, which
liberated an immense body OF water con
fined In the old workings, flooding the
new workings and drowning oil the men
la that portion OF the mine.
The 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 can
not be depicted. The weather, which
was bitterly cold, did not have any effect
toward diminishing the crowd and II 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 go to their homes.
The firm OF Hayden e. Co., will pump
the water out as rapidly as the ma

tion. since no definite idea OF the column
of water can be aseertained. Some OF
the miners say it will take four weeks.
Many theories are advanced rs to the
cause OF the great disaster. Some
charge 1t to neglect TO notify the work
men OF the dangerous proximity OF the
water.

ASPEN, Col, Feb. 5.-The Mollie Glib
So mine has probably made the richest
strike OF any on record In this state.
The discovery OF rich ore was made more
then two months ago. Everything has
been kept very quiet, and the owners
hase had secret motive In concealIng
the facts. 1t IL only within the past few
days that the strike has assumed man.
moth proportions. Tons OF ore have
betn hoisted In the last three days, aud
. conservative estimate places the value
At t30. 900. This Is the lowest figure.
The ore Is OF two classes. An assay on
thA old fashioned pink spar, q carload
OF which Gillespie shipped 10 Den
yer by express two or three
yo4rs ago, ran 1900 ounces. There IL n
stu higher grade, specimens OF which
arr more than half pure silver. An AS
say OF this class to-day returned $500
ouAces- Taking these figures as a basis
foS calculation the ten tons would lie
eth about S75, 900. This ore comes from
the fourth level north, which mine Is
aip chipping about ten tons of ore day

ever made on Smuggler mountain. A
neV ore chute has been uncovered In the

STILL CUESSiN
Late Gossip About the Probabilities Of
windows successor.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Sit Is thought
by party men that the president will de-
eide, In view OF the pressure brought To
bear upon him BY the SILVER men. 10 APP
point some man already In the harness,
10 the position made vacant by the death
of Secretary Window. The silver men
are clamorons for the appointment OF a
man who will represent the demand, as
they say, in favor OF recoinage In contra
distinction TO the interests OF Wall
street. No one has n right 10 say as to
what the president will do in the present
dilemma. But IL Is safe TO predict that
the man who fills the vacant chair will
not be In favor of anything that looks
like fiat money, although OF course he
will carry ont the provisions Of any law
that congress may pass and the presi-
dent shall sign, governing the finances.
The fact or this strong pressure To
take into his cabinet a politician OF
free coinage tendencies may convince
the president that IL would be
advisable to step entirely outside
the political field and select man al
ready In the official circle OF the treas
ury department, a man not only familiar
with the business management of the Of
fee but with the policy and purpose OF
the late secretary. Gen. Nettleton Is
being mentioned as just such man, and
