The Disaster in the Austrian Silve
Mine Worse Than First Reported.

The Disaster in the Austrian Silver
Mine Worse Than First Reported
PRAGUE, June Sowing to the great
excitement that prevailed when It was
known that the fire that broke out Tuesday
night in the Birksberg silver mine, near
Piziebram, had caused the death OF a mum.
ber of miners, many contradictory states
ments were made as to the number Of those
who had perished. One of she first reports
had it that forty had been killed. Now,
however, that the excitement has died out
TO great extent 1t is estimated that fully
400 OF the employees lost their lives in the
disaster. Among those killed were five
students from the mining academy, who
were studying the working of the mine TO
gain practical knowledge Of mining opera
tions. Gas continues to form in great
volumes in the mine, and the Maria shaft is
SO filled with 1t that the volunteers seeking
to recover the bodies are greatly hampered
in their work. In fact, it is tnonght now
that it will be a fortnight before all the
bodies are taken out.
Large trenches are being dug in the
churchyards in which the dead will be
buried. These trenches are large enough to
hold $50 bodies.

CANADIAN DISCRIMINATION.
A Conference at the State Department
on the Complaints.

a Conference at the state Department {
1.-THE Complaints.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Secretary Blaine
and Gen. J. w. Foster. representing the
United States, and Sir Julian Pauncefote.
the British minister; Hon. George e. Fos-
ter, the Canadian minister of finance, and
Hon. Mackenzie Bowel minister Of customs.
representing Great Britain and incidentally
the dominion government, had a conference
at the state department to-day in regard to
the trade regulations between the United
States and Canada. The main question at
issue is alleged discrimination on the part
OF Canada against the United States
in the matter of tolls on the Well
land and st. Lawrence canals, which
discrimination is held to be in violation of
article q Of the treaty of 1871. 1t appears
that the dominion government, at the OPEN
ing OF the session, issued an order regulating
the tolls on the two canals, and there has
been much complaint on the part of the
citizens otthe U nited States for years past
that the order creates marked discrimina-
tlon against American ports and American
lines OF transportation in the interest Of
Montreal and oontesting lines of transporta-
ton. This practice has been a frequent
su oject OF complaint to the British minister
In this city in recent years and
was one of the subjects considered
at the conference with the Cana
dian commissioners in February
last. AT that time assurance was given
that the discrimination would not be con-
tinued, but the Canadian order In coun-
oiP' regulating the canal tolls for the cur
rent year issued since the above conference
contains all the objectionable features of
discrimination complained Of in the previous
orders. The matter was again brought TO
the attention of the British minister with
an intimation that the President was con-
sidering the propriety Of sending special
message to congress on the subject. 1t is
said, therefore, that the Canadian ministers
have brought about the conference with a
view Of reaching an agreement that will
obviate any desire on the part Of this gov
ernment to resort to retaliatory measures.
The conference will last several days

THE PLATFORM.
The committee on platform reported q
very voluminous document embracing
twelve planks before 1t touched on state
affairs.
The second plank demands continued lib
eral appropriations for southern rivers and
harbors
The third promises legislation for the re-
lief Of the agricultural classes. Fourth Is
as follows:
We deuounce the Mckinley tariff bill as un-
just to the consumers Of the country and lead
ing to the formation of trusts, combines and
monopolies, which have oppressed the people.
The sixth plank denounces the efforts OF
the Republican party to pass the force bill +.
The eighth is as follows:
We demand that congress shall pass such
laws as shall efectually prevent dealing in
futures OF all agricultural and mechenlcal pro-
ductions. providing such a stringent system OF
procedure in trials as shall secure prompt con-
viction and imposing such penalties as shall
secure most perfect compliance with the law.
g. We demand unlimited coinage Of silver.
10. We demand the abolition Of national
banks; the substitution OF legal tender treas
ury notes in lieu Of the national bank notes g,
issued in sufficient volume to do the business of
the country on a cash system, regulating the
amount needed on a per capita basis as the
business interests OF the country expand and
that all money issued by the government shall
be legal tender in payment OF all debts, both
private and public; and we also demand the
repeal OF oil laws imposing a tax and other
restrictions upon the state banking system.
IL. We demand that the amount of the circu-
lating medium be speedily increased TO not less
than S50per capita; demand a graduated
income tax; we believe that the money of the
the hands of the people, and hence we demand
that all national and state revenue shall be
limited to the necessary expenses OF the gov
ernment economically administered.
IL. Transportation being means OF ex-
change and public necessity. the government
should control the railroads in the interest OF
the people.
The platfor.n ignores the presidential
question entirely.

BUSINESS PICKING UP.
BETTER WEATHER THE SECRET OF
THE IMPROVEMENT

Crop Prospects at the West Improved
Helping the South-The Corner in
Corn the Only Exciting Feature Of
the Produce Market.
New YORK, June ar. g. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says that the tone
of the commercial reports from various
parts Of the country indicates that business
has to some extent improved. More favor-
able weather has helped both the retail and
wholesale trade In many quarters and has
materially improved the crop prospects at
the west, while little Improvement in the
price of cotton has operated as a stimulus
to business of the south.
There has been no difficulty or disturb-
anoe In the money market and the volume
OF the currency in circulation has Increased
during the month of May about $6,500, 900,
amounting TO 81 ,62S. .000, 900 June l. Col-
lections throughout the country are, on the
whole, better than OF late and partly salts
factory, and, excepting the speculative
corner at Chicago, there has been M
especial excitement OF any kind in busi-
ness.
The market for cereals has been oom-
paratively tame, and wheat has declined
half cent, western receipts being unusually
large.
THE COTTON MARKET.
In cotton belief that the acreage will
be much diminished has helped spectators
to advance the price one-fourth cent,
and transactions have been moder-
ntely light Nevertheless the stock
of cotton In the country con-
tinues far beyond the record of previous
years, and there Is every reason to believe
that even a great reduction in the acreage
will scarcely reduce the aggregate supply
for the year below the quantity usually re-
qutred for consumption.
THE IRON MARKET.
The iron business shows considerable in-
crease In transactions, though there is aa
much complaint as ever Of low prices.
Both at Pittsburg and Philadelphia pig
iron is weaker and there are doubts whether
bottom has been reached, though at Chi~
cago the market Is considerably stronger
and authorities hold that the stocks of pig
iron In the country are now considerably
lower than they have been. The market
for bars is weak at the lowest figures ever
known, and the new demand for structural
iron is not quite as large as has been ex~
pected. AT Philadelphia there is an in-
crease in the sales of iron, and hardware 10
quite active. At Pittsburg finished products
OF iron and steel are in good demand,
though prices are the lowest ever known,
and the glass trade is fairly active.
Business is still retarded by bad weather
at Little Rock and Memphis, improved
little at Nashville. but very dull at Savaus
nah. Cotton strengthened at New Orleans,
and there is a better feeling in business gen.
orally, while sugar is in fair demand and
rice Is steady.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven days,
as reported TO X. g. Dun g. Co, number for
the United 175 and for Canada 80.

Assault on the Drummer.
ATLANTA, GA, June 3.-A true bill for
assault and battery was found against Il.
o. Ozburn, a sergeant of the Atlanta polios
force, to-day, under sensational circum-
stances Several days ago a drummer by
the name OF Moore, in the employ of the
Atlanta Paper Company, insulted Ozburn's
niece, who Is also employed by the paper
company. by placing his arm around her
waist and attempting to plant a kiss on her
pretty lips, and when the gay drummer was
arraigned in police court. Sergt. 0zburn
lost his temper and proceeded TO administer
the masher sound thrashing right under
the judges eye. After it was all over and
Moore had been sentenced to pay
a fine OF 800 and costs, he acknowledged
his insulting conduct by signing a card
stating that he deserved both the fine and
the thrashing which the irate officer gave
him. But Moore was discharged by his en-
ployer for his behavior. and to day went
before the grand jury and had Sergt.
Ozburn indicted for consolation.

WEALTH OF THE COUNTRY.
The Assessed Value Indicates Over

$1,000 Per Capita.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The census bu-
reau to-day issued a bulletin on the subject
of the assessed valuation OF property
in the United States in 1890. The
bulletin shows that the assessed value of all
property, excluding railroad property, ex-
cept in certain specified states, has increased
from SIC ,902, 993 543 in 1880 to ga ,65l, ,585,-
465 in 1890, an increase during the decade
of $7,74S, ,591 ,922, or 40 81 per cent. should
it be found upon the completion OF the in
quiry In relation to the true value
of all property in the United
States that the same relation exists
In 1890 between the assessed valuation
and true valuation as existed in 1880.
the absolute wealth of the United States
according to the eleventh census, may be
estimated at S63, Gas, ,000,0O0. or more than
81 900 per capita. as against S5l4 per capita
In $780, $3.50 per capita iu 1870, and $50
per capita in 1880. Owing. however, to
the fact that in some states properly is as
sessed at its full value and In others at only
fraction Of its value. comparisons of the
wealth Of the states is quite impossible. The
lists Of the kinds OF taxaUle property vary
greatly in different states.
