RAY HAMILTON's FATE.
Story Tending TO Confirm the Dc
of tho EN-

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Feb. 4.-Samuel
shaw, a clerk in Lewis Il Co.'s ticket agcn, y
In this city, was on hunting expedition in
the western part OF Wyoming last August,
j. ranchman named Nathan w. Mott, at
whose place Shaw stopped, made a trip to
Yellowstone park during that month, re-
turning August 2S. Three days later a
gentleman named Harty, II storckecpcr at
Haines Forks, on the Union Pacific,
stopped at Motifs ranch on his way home
from the park, bringing news of great eX-
cltement that existed ut Sdrgents when he
stopped there August %, over the reported
drowning of Robert Ray Hamilton, whose
body had just been brought in. Harty saw
the body and stated that preparations were
being made for its burial.
On hearing Hamilton's name mentioned
Mott recalled the fact that he had seen a man
OF that name at Sargents when on his way to
the park, and had also met him on the Snake
klver when returning from the park. This
was August 22. Hamilton, who was on
horseback, said he had just shot an
antelope and intended to cross the river to
get pack animal of u settler to carry his
game home The meeting occurred near the
confluence OF Buffalo creek and the Snake
river and very near the spot where Green re-
ported finding the body Mott and Harty
compared notes on Hamilton's appearance
and agreed that the body seen by Harty must
have been that of the man whom Mott saw at
Sargent and afterward met on the bank of
the Snake river
Mott had not at the time of meeting Ham
ilton heard anything of the scandal connected
with his name

"What did you find the sentiment to be

THEY WANT FREE COINAGE.
vigorous Language from the National
Farmers AIliance.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The presiden is of
the state organizations, National Farmers
Alliance, met this morning for the purpose
of formulating certain measures for presenta-
tion to congres S.
Tonight the committee on silver legislation
made a report, urging upon congress the de-
mand heretofore made by the National Far
mer's Alliance for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver upon the same terms and
conditions on which gold is now coined. The
report says in part:
1--WE regard it as high duty enjOined upon
congress by the constitution TO provide for
the unlimited coinage of both precious met
ais, gold and silver, TO the end that the peo.
pie OF the several states may be pro
vided with circulating medium. We ex-
press our surprise, regret ana indignation
that this duty has been so long delayed and
neglected, contrary, as we believe, not only
to the duty we have mentioned, but to the
best interests of the masses Of the people
who are suffering the pangsof poverty and
stagnation Of business, caused by the want
of sufficient circulating medium, We
believe and charge that such delay
has been occasoned by uneue influence
in our government policy, by those whose in
terest is to contract the cnrrtncy and sub
serve monopolies and money lenders. We
express our earnest condemnation of the
exercise of arbitrary power which has pre-
vented q fair consideration OF the free coin
age Dill at the last session or congress and
hope the bill which passed the senate
the present session will be speedily
reported to the house and enacted into law.
We say to the representatives in the coinage
committee that any efforts TO unduly delay a
report on the bill, so far as to prevent action
thereon by the house, in tie few remaining
days of this congress, wall merit and receive
still further condemnation by the farmers and
laborers of this country. We have
waited many years for the simple justice of
having both precious metals restored to free
coinage and hereby declare our determination
to press the fight on this line until this relief
is accorded to the laboring and producing
masses OF our nation, md TO hold respon-
sible the men, irrespective Of party, who OBJ
structin any way the legislative enactment
Of just measure so strongly demanded by
the laboring classes OF all parties"
The council will eudeav, 10 obtain hear
ing before the house con mites tomorrow
and present this report. he sub-treasury
| and land loan propositions are being consid-
cred by another committee.

TERRIBLE REINE DISASTER.
seventeen Men Drowned in a Penn
syivania Coal Tunnel

HNzELToN, Pa, Feb. "A terrible acci
dent occurred at Jancsville this morning
whereby eighteen men lost their lives. The
accident occurred in slope 10, operated by j.
c. Hayden & Co The working is situated
under old workings known as No s, worked
out some five years ago and filled with
water The cause of the disaster was due to
the drilling of hole through pillar which
liberated an immense body OF water confined
in the old workings flooding the new work
ings and drowning all the men in that por-
J ton of the mine.
William Brisln, one of the seven men who
escaped from the mine, says he felt the wind
coming when the men broke through into
the old slope. He yelled to his companions
to run for their lives or all would be drowned
In a moment the rush of water came and
Brisln, Henry Gibbop, John Boyle Charles
Boyle, William Coyle and Patrick Cole
barely escaped The water rose rapidly,
and before any attempt could be
made to rescue the rest of the
workmen the water flowed in. and
in five minutes the slope, which is 62i feet
deep, was filled to the mouth and eighteen
men, who but n few hours before, with light
hearts left the bright sunshine and clear sky
to descend into the dark cavern, were buried
in a watery grave.
The news OF the disaster created the widest
excitement and the mouth Of the slope was
soon thronged with people The scenes
picted, The weather. which was bitterly
cold, did not have any effect toward
diminishing the crowd and 1t was only after
the terrible result was made plain that none
Of the entombcd men were living or could
possibly be reached until all the water was
pumped out of the SLOPE that the grief
stricken friends of theunfortunate men could
be induced to go to their homes.
The firm of Hayden ~ Co. will
pump the water out rs rapidly as
the machinery placed in position can do the
work, How long it will take it is question,
since no definite idea of the column of water
can be ascert aimed. Some of the miners say
it will take four weeks. Many theories are
advanced as to the cause of the great disas-
ter. Some charge it to neglect to notify the
workmen OF the dangerous proximity of the
water.

GOpERNOR BOID TALKS.
He Expresses Himself as Pleased
with the TX e suit

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb A. Special Tele-
gram to The BEE Governor Boyd ex-
pressed himself as pleased with the vote in
the house and said that it had not been unex-
pected. He was satisfied the independents
could not stand together on question which
in no manner could lead to question OF
fealty to the tenets of their party. Regard
ing the objection made to the resolution,
namely, thatit was stitutional, the gov
ernor said that neither he nor several good
parliamentarans and lawyers whose names
need not be mentioned entertained any doubt
that it would stand the test of judicial in
quiry.
The Boyd men of all parties were jubi-
land tonight because they claimed
they had been victorious after an appeal TO
the intelligence and conscience rather than
the preiudices of their allies among the in
dependents.
II is generally felt here, Notwithstanding
the desperate fight made by number of the
alliance people, that the effect of the vote
upon the senate cannot be otherwise than
encouraging Some of those outside the in
dependent ranks claim that the joint resolu-
ton relating to the control will in the latter
body tomorrow be voted upon favorably,
while others hold that it may be indetin-
itely postponed The resolution could have
been introduced today, but for some reason

been referred. If it should be brought in to.
morrow it may be laid over under the rules,
and if it should his action will be interpre ted
as favorable to n still further recogni-
ton of Boyd and a desire to enact
some needed legislation Immediately and a
still greater desire to let Boyd show his right
to the gu bernatorial Office in the courts.
Governor Boyd has prepared his message
and will deliver it Friday morning at II
o'clock in the house agrceably to the resolu
ton.
There is no doubt entertained that the SEN
ate will accept the invitation rendered in the
resolution and Join the house in listening to
the maiden effort of the present incumbent

BROUGHT ON A ROW.
Effect of a Russian Courtier's Zeal
on Naval Discipline.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 4.-[Special Cable
gram to THE BEE. I-Prince Bariatinsky and
other members of the suite of the czarcwitch
are returning home in consequence of trouble
on board the Russian iron clad Pamiatz Azona,
on which the czarewitch, accompanied by
Pence George of Greece, is making a tour of
the east. The origin of the trouble is obscure
1t is known, however, that Prince Baria-
tinsky, without consulting Captain Lob
mann, commander of the Pamiatz A2ova, un-
dertook to give orders to the crew, and that
on one occasion he ordered the boats to be
launched for the purpose of giving the
czarewitch an ocean row. Captain Lohmaun
promptly countermanded the order, as there
was quite heavy sea AZ the time and he
feared that the lives of the czarewitch and
his party might be endangered. Some of
the members of the crew sided with Prince
Baratinsky, and Captain Lohmann in order
to restore discipline had to threaten to use
the most severe measures. Finally the cap
tain sent the malcontents out of the ship,
replacing them with men from the warshps
escorting the Pamatz Azova.
