SAD DAY AT KREBS.
Funerals of Thirty-Seven Victims of the Mine
Disaster, with Only One Hearse.

MCALIsTER, Ind. T., Jan. 10.-This was
q day of mourning at Krebs. the scene of
the recent mining disaster, in which so
many men lost their lives. The funerals of
most of the victims whose bodies have
been recovered were held to-day. There
were no religious services excepting in
few cases. and the only ceremony observed
in connection with the funerals was that
of secret organizations. of which most of
the victims were members. Fifteen of the
dead bodies were buried yesterday. All
the collins available then. were. used, and
the other burials were delayed until to-day,
when coffins were received by express from
the nearest towns In the neighbOrhood.
The caskefs were of the simplest selection,
and were furnished by the mining COM
pany. There was only one hearse In the
town of Krebs, so that it was necessary to
use every sort of vehicle to convey the
bodies to the cemetery. Ordinary lumber
ing duty as funeral carriages. and in some
cases dump" carts from the mines were
brought into requisition.
The funerals took place at 10 o'clock this
morning. thlrty-seven bodies being placed
under the ground. The graves of the
head-stones of wood, with the names and
ages printed thereon. The unidentified
were placed in graves by number. Their
clothes found upon them and the contents
of their pockets were retained by the min
ing officials, and are all marked with num-
bers corresponding to the respective num-
bers of the graves for the purpose of future
Identification.
Death added three more victims to the
list of killed to-day, making the total num-
ber fifty eight. A canvass among the ply
sicians attending the injured discloses the
fact that the deaths of seventeen more are
likely TO occur within the next twenty
four hours. Those who died to-day were
s. Powell, Albert ArlInger and Emanuel
Lorenzo. The rescuing parties dlscon-
tinued their work to-day at noon, having q
satisfied themselves that there were no
more bodies buried IN the debris. They
are also satisfied that there are none of
their comrades within the cham bers of the
mine. Every pile of debris was thoroughly
searched. and every gallery and chamber
investigated. No more bodies were found,
and no signs of life were found

STILL TRADING IN SLAVES.

The Sultan of Morocco Promuigstes Grave
Charges Against British Officiais-
Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Jan. 10-A sensation has been
caused by the publication of q letter from
q gentleman whose position gives him op-
portunity for knowing the inside history
of affairs in Morocco. and who hints at the
probability of interesting revelations be-
ing made as result of the present i'm
broglio between England. France. Italy
and Spain in connection with the Tangier
rebellion. The writer says the Sultan of
Morocco is incensed at the action of the
foreign representatives resident in his do
minions. especially against the British.
This i'll feeling Is not without justification.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1o.-An effort will be
made by number of Democratic Repre-
sentatives in Congress to have the appro-
priations committee recommend that the
fee system in federal Offices be abolished 80
far as can well be done. A number of Con-
gressmen, especially in the Southern States,
urge that the certainness of the fee system
results in much hardship to people in their
States through deputy marshals and other
court officers strainIng the laws for the
purpose of making cases in courts and
thereby increasing the emoluments of their
offices. 1t is urged that the government
would really save q great deal of money by

And That Imputation Is Not Resting the
American Sailors, Either.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-lntense feeling is
again aroused as the reports come in of the
testimony given by the sailors of the
United States cruiser Baltimore. On the
face of the testimony the outrage is moro
grave than was first stated, and if it were
not for the fiat contradictions coming from
Chilli there would be little further delay
in President Harrison's special message. 1t
was reported to-day that the message would
be sent to Congress tomorrow, but that
is not at all probable, as 1t will not be pre-
pared until the officers as well as the sail
ors have testified and Judge Advocate
general Remy has submitted his report or
given telegraphlc indication Of the general
conclusions. 1t is already apparent from
the testimony thus far taken that there
will be an irreconcilable dlfferenc be-
tion of facts. One side or the other has
lied. and the natural disposition here is
not TO discredIt the version given by the
American sailors. The official documents
which Minister Montt handed to MIR. Blaine
the other day as giving the findings of
the Baltimore incident originated in q
brawl between intoxicated sailors, and
further. that 1.-The police did all they were
directed to do in suppresslng the disorder"
But it is contended by the authorities
that the Baltimore sailors directly con-
tradict this Chilian version, as they agree
that the incident did not originate In
brawl, but In a preconcerted conspiracy,
which was carried into effect by attacks
on the Americans at five or six points in
Valparaiso at the same moment. Moreover,
the sailors say the Valparaiso police con-
tributed to the attack and the indignities.
Congressman who have called on the Presi-
dent say that he is watching the daily de-
velopments of the inquiry at Vallejo and
that he now feels more than ever that the
attack on our sailors was due to malice
toward Americans as q nation, and not to
the individuals concerned. Furthermore,
1t is said the President is growing
tired of Chilian legal methods of redress.
1t turns out the procurator fiscaPs investi-
CATION is merely preliminary and similar to
the indictment of q grand jury in this
country. The trial of the offenders Is yet
to come. and it may be many months be-
fore verdict is reached. 1t is very doubt
full if the President will consent to await
the tedious methods of Chilian courts.
