a Mas of Rock Falls, Narrowly Missing
Party Of Anaconda Mine Searchers.
BUTTE. May 49, Especial to the
TRInUNF. Searching for bodies in the
Anaconda mine vein has been vigor-
Ously prosecuted over since the accident
until this morning, when mass of rock
fell near the place where number of
men were working, the men barely cs-
Gaping with their lives. This so fright
ened the miners that they were 10th to
return to work. The ground is settling
everywhere in the vicinity of the cave in.
Besides this the temperature of the mine
is excessively warm and the stencil from
the decaying bodies prevents the men
from working but Il few minutes at a
time. 1t was deemed advisable to dis
continue work on the 500 level until the
caving and settling of the ground ceased.
Accordingly Supt Kane this evening
stopped all work in the mine and told
the men nothing would be done until
Monday or Tuesday next. There are
three more bodies buried in the mine.

Great suffering and Loss of Life-Enor-
nous Damage TO Crops
LONDON. May 19.-Advices received
hero from Maritius state that hurri-
cane unprecedented in its violence passed
over that island on April % causing
ennrmous damage to shipping. The
majority of the vessels at the island were
blown ashore. The western half of Port
Louis, the capital was devasted. houses
were blown down, gigantic. trees were
uprOoted and that part of the town was
about wiped out of existence. The loss
of life was appalling. A large number
of persons were caught in falling houses
and crushed to death, while others lost
their lives by being struck by flying
debris while they were attempting to
seek places of safety. The roar of the
gale was deafening and people rushed to
and fro in aimless confusion with no idea
of what they were doing. Rain fell in
torrents Thunder crashed with awe
inspiring volleys while the flashes of
lightning were binding. Never before
in the history of the island has such
warning of elements been known and
never was there such widespread fear
among the inhabitants. The exact num-
ber Of dead is not known. Every effort
Is being made by the authorities to
alleviate the suffering that has been
caused by the disaster. The governor
has issued orders for military tents to be
distributed to shelter homeless and food
is being issued to those who lost every
thing by tho storm. Half of the crops of
sugar. rice, coffee and pepper have been
utterly ruined and the loss in this direc-
ton is extremely heavy.

CAUSE OF INDIAN WARS.
The Red Men Swindied Out Of SO: 800
by Claim Attorneys.

OKLAHoMA CITY, May 17.--Colonel
Lee, one of General Miles inspectors,has
completed an investigation into the COM
plants of the Arapahoe and Cheyenne
Indians that they were robbed by a
number of attorneys in the recent sale
of their lands to the government. From
what can be learned Colonel Lee carried
back to Chicago some startling facts,
which, it is said will result in showing
conclusively that coterie Of lawyers
succeeded in getting away with sG1 800
for doing nothing. Lees report may be
laid before congress, and an investiga
tion ordered. Each of the Indians eX-
amined denounced the payment of the
attorneys as "A robbery and a swindle.
and declare that they were imposed up
on. Two of the tribes are very much
excited over the affair, and the hottest
ones talk of going upon the warpath
The kiowas and Sioux Indians are also
said to be excited over the alleged steal
and there is talk among the Indians that
if their wrongs are not rcdressed, they
will take revenge out of the white set
tiers.

with the situation said that IA congress

LONDON, Aug. 2z.-The net loss to 10 Of
the principal English fire insurance offices
interested in the recent fire at Newfound-
land reaches close upon s1 1000, 900. The
exact amount assessed is e934, ,455, or an
average of nearly $50, 900 for each company.
The insured speak highly Of the very gen
srous manner in which their, claims have
been met Indeed. the insurance Offices,
with much public spirit, realized that the
occasion was one for i'm mediate action,
hence their prompt and liberal settlement
with their clients. One company will have
to sign checks to the value Of over s12O, 900.
The Mansion House fund for the relief of
the sufferers by the disaster is growing
sapidly. The response to the appeals OF the
provincial Mayors, II not in many cases SO
generous as might have been expected, is on
the whole satisfactory. A great deal more
money is required, for the approaching
winter must necessarily entail much misery
to the poor inhabitants, however generously
they are assisted. The work of rebuilding
is now in full swing, and thereby some en-
plcyment is given, but much remains to be
done, both in the way OF providing adequate
shelter and food.

TARIFF THE ISSUE.
General Adlai Stevenson Almost Ig-
nores the Force Bill in
HIs OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Ture Free Trade Recommended to the
+, Voter, With No Coating.
EDITOR DANHs ADVICE NOT FOLLOWED

BLOOMINGTON, ILL, Aug. N.-The
Democratic campaign in Illinois was opened
here to-day. A large number of people
gathered here from various points In the
central part of the State. The. town was
literally decorated. The Democratic
parching clubs of Bloomington, Peoria and
other cities formed and marched in pro-
cession to Franklin Park, where the ad-
dresses were delivered.
The speaking was opened by General
John M. Palmer, who, in his rugged, of.
hand way, pleased the assembled multitude
immensely He was followed by Hon.
Adalai E Stevenson, candidate for Vice
President, who made the principal address,
Most of Mr.. Stevenson's time was devoted
to the tariff the force bill being made a
secondary affair. On the tariff the speaker
said:
The Tariff the Important Issue.
The tariff is the all important issue of the
campaign upon which we have now entered.
Shall there be revision of our tariff laws,
reduction of taxation, or shall it become the
policy Of our government to maintain per-
manently high protectionf The position OF
the two lesding political parties upon that
Republican party, as illustrated by its
recent enactment of the Mckinley law,
stands for high protective-in other words
q prohibitory tariff. The Democratic party,
as emphasized by its utterances and it's acts,
is the advocate of tariff reform. The issue is
squarely presented. Upon the one side are
the advocates OF high protective or pro-
few at the expense of the many. On the
other the advocates of such reduction of
tariff duties as will give to our manufact-
urers the benefit OF cheap raw MATERIAL and
lessen to the consumer tho cost of the neces-
saries of life.
The argument advanced by the early ad-
vocates of Q protective system was the
tries" Yet Mr.. Clay, the author of the
famous tariff bill with which his name Is
tnseparably associated, declared such pro-
lection to be only temporary, ana that so
soon as such Industries were able to stand
alone tariff duties should be reduced. The
compromise tariff law of 1888, of which MIR.
Clay was the author, provided that at
begin . rapid reduction Of duties
not exceed 20 per cent. In view Of the fact
that protection to the 'infant industries"
has more than trebled since tho passage
of the bill Of which Mr.. Clay was the author,
Clay would himself, If living. be now de-
nounced as free trader by the protection
lists. Instead OF being lessened. protection
has, year by year, under Republican rule,
tries have grown stronger and more power
full, they have demanded yet greater prorec-
ton.

The appointment of Lord Ribbelsdale to
the post Of Master of the Buckhounds
caused much disappointment to the :Liber-
ais, as 1t was thought to indicate an inten-
tion to continue the cruel sport of hunting
tame deer in Windsor's great park. It
seems, however; that the remonstrances In
newspapers have been brought to the
Queens notice, and she readily acquiesed
in Mr.. Gladstone's suggestion that the CON-

been made which cannot be well cancelled

to make many enemies every season.
Tho Interviewer of Parnell.
Lord Ribblesdale Is known to fame chief.
ly Is the ''man who interviewed Parnell. /"
The young lord by accident travelled in the
same railway carriage from London to
Holyhead, In August, 1887 Parnell did
not know who his fellow traveller was, but
the latter knew Parnell, and determined to
interview him. HE never a. much as
looked at me-" wrote Lord Ribblesdale, in
O magazine article based on the adventure,
s'but, having arranged his effects with al
most old-maidish precision, composed him
self to read" His Lordship start
ed in with the weather, but Par
nell was ''discouragingly unanimous. 4"
Ultimately, however. the Irish leader
grudgingly talked about the bill for
relieving tenants In arrears with their rents,
which was then the main topic of political
interest, and in the end the amateur reporter
obtained very good story about that and
other interesting matters relating to the
Irish question. Parnell never admitted the
accuracy of Lord Ribblesdale's account of
the interview, which he said was obtained
under false pretensek
