EXPLOSION IN A COLLIERY
AND THE MINE INTERIOR Is
BURNING
only Twenty Miners Out of One Hun.
dred Have Been Rescued-The
Situation Critical


LONDON, Dec. IA fearful explosion
occurred to-day at the Bamfurlong col
lery, Wigan, and not less than fifty
lives have been lost The men went to
their work as usual this morning, and
after the colliery had been ins pected in
the usual way. They had not been at
work long when terrible explosion shook
the earth for great distance and clouds
of smoke shot up through the shaft. A
multitude of people rushed toward the
mine and the greatest excitement pre-
vailed. 1t was soon ascertained that
number had perished and the wailing
| and weeping of women and children
made an indescribable scene. Steps were
Immediately taken to ascertain the full
extent of the disaster and crowd of vol
unteers promptly offered to explore the
pit. 1t is believed that the explosion
was caused by accumulation of coal gas
which had escaped the notice of the off
cials charged with The inspection of the
mine
The situation is most critical A hun
dred men remained in the mine with
their lives endangered, being unable to
get out owing to the fire which followed
the explosion and which is ragin fiercely
in the mine, making it difficult for the
rescuers to get at the imprisoned miners
Notwithstanding the fire and other OBJ
stacles, the work of rescue is proceeding
and volunteers are not deferred by dan
ger or difficulty in their efforts to cave
their fellow miners from a terrible death.
Hundreds of women and children sur
round the mouth of the mine, waiting
anxiously for news of fathers, husbands,
brothers and sons Some of the womer
volunteered TO assist in the work of res
cue. but their assistance was not re
quired. No effort is being spared to put
out the fire and bring the men to the sur
face. Until this is accomplished the loss
of life will be difficult to estimate.
LATER-Twenty miners have just beer
brought up by the rescuerers. The re
mainder are still imprisoned. The rescued
men we're in an exhausted condition
when Brought to the top. AS each CAM
to the surface the women and childrel
crowded around to see who they were
and those who recognized their relative

that many Of the men will be rescue'

bitter strife. We will boycott theWorld's

coin will be nailed to the wall as a badge
of shame. We will hold meetings all
over the land. No competition was held
in the award of the catalogue to a sea D

INTERSTATE COMMERCE
ARGU MENTS BEFORE THE SEN.
ATE COMMITTEE.
naHWay Men Favor Senator Cunom,s
amendment Saying Ii Will be of
Good TO All Parties Concerned.

Railway Men Favor Senator Cuilom,s
mendment Saying IL Will be OF
Good TO All Parties Concerned.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l4.-Eyery mem.
Der OF the senate committee on inter
state commerce was present this morn
ing to listen to the arguments of rail-
way magantes in favor of the amend
ments introduced by Senator Cullom
making it lawful for any common carrier
subject to the provision of the proposed
act to enter into contracts or agreements
with other common carriers, having for
their object the establishment and main
tenance of just and reasonable rates and
the prevention of unjust discrimination.
The room was we'll filled with railway
men who represented more than one half
OF the railway interests Of tie United
States. President Geo. B. Roberts, of
the Pennsylvania railroad, was the first
to appear before the committee. He said
that the interstate commerce law was
being violated every day, not by the
railway companies but by shippers and
manufacturers. He was in favor of the
bill, which if enacted into q law would
in his opinion be not only beneficial tc
the public but also to the rail ways.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Of the New York
Central, followed He said there was
general misappreh"nsion in the public
mind on the subject of the relations O,
the railway companies to one another or
the subject of rates and competition
Under the provisions of the proposed ac
pools or agreements would be formed BY
the Pennsylvania and New York Centra
with the weaker roads which would en-
able them to live, and the shipper or tn
manufacturer would not suffer in conse
quence. Mr.. Depew discussed tn,
merits OF the inter state commerce law a
length and stated that the companie
desired to comply with the law au'
established standard rates which ha,
been of benefit to the public
and remunerative to the com
panies. He believed the enactmen
Of the amendment would do much to in
sure q strict compliance with the inter
state law and it would at the same tim
result in the construction OF more line
and develop the country.
President Ingalls,, of the Chesapeak
and Ohio railroad, said that unless con
gress came to the relief OF the railwa
companies the weaker ones would 60 int
bankruptcy and the others would join t.
getber 10 self defence. If this amend
ment to the la " is adopted it will not r.
suit in increased rates, but it will resu
in equal rates and in many cases reduce
, ones, and the railways, in turn will bel
enforce the law.
A. F. Walker said that the propose
: law would have the effect of encouragiu
healthy competition and would crea
satisfaction among the railway compani
and the public and would be q stimuli
to capital to further develop the countr

Free Coinage or silver Purchase.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA meeting O.


WASHINGTON, Dec. IA meeting of
the executive committee of the American
bi metallic league was held to day. 1t
was stated after the meeting adjourned
that the committee had passed resolu
tions declaring that they will deter
minedly resist the repeal of the act of
July 1890, requiring the purchase of
54, 900, 900 ounces of silver year, unless
the free coinage of silver is at the same
time substituted for the present law
They declared that the repeal of the act
of 1890 without the substitution OF free
coinage would lead to ruinous fall in
silver, attended necessarily by an equally
ruinous decline in wheat and cotton,
which constitute most important exports,
and would be disastrous to business gen
orally and especially to our agricultural
