New YORK, Dec. 21.-The New York
Press has Just made nearly complete
poll of the members of the SD congress.
Personal letters were sent to 216 Dem

tions, and it has received replies from

reductions in the present tariff!
q. Do you favor the repeal of the
present silver law?
81. Do you favor the passage by con-
gress of an act providing for the free
coinage silver law?
Most Of the congressmen-elect an
swered fraii2:fJ on the coinage issue.
When they do not answer question five 1t
is generally because of, in the language
of congressman elect Peoples of Iowa,
they are sat sea and want more light.
The opiniens of the westerners and
southerners in favor of free silver Is
blunt and decided, while in the conserva-
tive agricultural district of Montrose
Pa comes the patriotic remark of Con
gresham Searle: "Yes, and no asking
England or any other nation what we
want"
Congressman-e elect Campbell, of Iowa
answers: "We must and will have more

A Novel Motive Power.

New YORK, Dec. 2l.--The surface car
tracks that have SO long lain idle in
Twenty eight and Twenty-ninth streets
are to be operated by a line of ammo
mia cars" Ammonia gas is to furnish
the. motive power instead of horses,
steam, cable or electricity. Numerous
advantages are claimed for the new sys-
TEN by its promoters, chief of which is
economy.
The average cost of running a car one
mile under different systems is Horse
power, $21.25; cables, $19.S9; electric
trolley, $19.71. The inventors of the
ammonia system declare they can oper-
ate the new line at an outside average
cost of $7.6S a mile for each car. 1t is
claimed further, that while the cost of
plant necessary for line of fifty electric
cars is nearly $250,00O, that required fol
ammonia cars would not be more thar
S25,OOO. The invention is based on the
principle of the evaporation of anhydrou'
ammonia, which is simply ammonia con
tanning no water. As the liquid is evap
grated the pressure of the gas operates
the piston of an engine placed under al
ordinary street car.

Mr.. RIaine's Condition.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-In an interview
DR.. W. W. Johnson, who is attending Mr..
Blaine, said Mr.. Blaine might survive
several days OF he might pass away at
any time. The family had come TO the
full realization of his condition. He said
Mr.. Blaine appeared to have retained the
strength he gained yesterday after recov-
ering from the attack of heart failure
which brought him so low yesterday morn
ing.
Prior to yesterday the family were 10th
to admit that they anticipated dissolution
1t was apparent to them at that time
however, that the gravest apprehensions
must be admitted. The greatest care Is
being observed to shield Mr.. Blaine from
any disturbing influences. For this
reason only the nurses and physicians
we're admitted to the sick room to-day.
The following bulletin was issued by
the physicians: although Mr.. Blaine's
condition during the last week has given
serious anxiety, yet at the present NOM
ent he is decidedly better and in no i'm
mediate danger. 1t is impossible to pre-
dict what changes may occur, but his con-
dition this morning gives more hope
full feeling as to the progress OF bis
disease"

A terrible mining accident was narrow
ly ayerted at Hadley, in the Cooks Peak
mining district, last week. The cage was
decending from the $50 to the 800 foot
level. Four miners were inside. Imme-
owing to some misunderstanding in re
gard to the signals to the engineer on the
surface, the cage became uncomfortable,
aud rushed down the shaft with lightning
rapidity. Within FIVE feet Of the bottom,
the engineer, realizing that something was
amiss, applied the brakes and succeeded
in breaking the fall to a considerable eX-
tent As it WAS all the inmates were
badly cut and bruised. Had the brakes
not been applied the instant they were,
every miner would undoubtedly have
been hurled to instant death.

Fatal Accident.

Butte, May l7.-ISpecial to the
TRIBUNE. The Anaconda mine was
the scene of another accident today
which resulted in the instant death of
two more miners, Michael Burns and
Maurice Shea. Just how the accident
occurred is not known as the circum-
stances were such that no one witnessed
it. and the bodies of the unfortunate
men were not discovered for some time
after it happened. About 80 feet west
of the hoisting works is what is known
as the waste chute, a perpendicular shaft
about six feet square, which runs down
to the 200-foot level, and down which all
the waste ore is run. The waste is piled
up here as fast as it accumulates and is
then shoveled down into chutes
Shea and Burns went to work as
usual this morning shoveling the
waste in the opening and were
never seen alive again. Their lead
bodies were discovered at G3O this even
ing by IA car boy. Burns neck was
broken. while Shea's death was caused
by his forehead striking against some
sharp and hard object, probably the
corner OF rock. His left shoulder is
also fractured winch would indicate that
he struck on his head with great force.
The chute being about half full of waste
the men fell about 100 feet. and from the
position Of their bodies when found they
must have fallen head first.
There are several theories suggested as
to how the accident occurred. One is
that the men were working right on the
edge of the chute and one of them lost
his balance and in falling pulled the
other down with him. Another is that
the waste on which they were standing
suddenly gave way and carried them
down.
Burns was H. years of age and S iea
was lad of 10.

ed citizens, prominent in business and
social life. Mrs. Haynes was young
and very attractive woman and was as
sassinated while alone in her home DR..
Haynes lives just outside the city limits
on Woodlawn boulevard, two and half
miles southwest Of the city hall. Five
hours later in the very heart of the city
a beautiful young lady, Miss Teen Haw-
ley, was also shot and killed by some un-
known person. Miss Hawley was killed
without warning in the privacy of her
room in her mothers cottage home.
Between the hours when these foul
assassinations occurred. in still another
and far distant section of the city two
women were laid low by an assassin's
bullets These last two were inmates of
bagniOs.
The assassin shot and killed Mrs.
Haynes during the absence of her hus-
band at the Elk Lodge When his victim
was dead the murderer took her gold
watch and chain. diamond ring and ear
rings and proceeded to the Hawley resi-
dence where he shot and killed Miss
Teen Hawley. who was seated on tho
bed with her mother when the
assassin's bullet came through
the screen. The assassin then
directed his steps to the bagnio of
Nine. Rivers. where he fired from the
front porch through window. killing
Maude Kramer. After this he crossed
to the next street where he mortally
wounded Rose Stewart. who was about
to retire to her room at Nine. Williams.
This fatal shot was fired from the side
walk. the ball entering beneath the right
arm. These four foul assassinations
created intense excitement which is in
creased by the fact that there is no cew
to the criminal. Several arrests on sus-
picion have been made. but the guilty
man is believed to be at large.
