LONG SEARCH ENDED
Finding the Bodies of the Hill
Mine Disaster.
TWBNTY-NINE BODIES RECOVERED.

The Horrors of q Search That Has
Lasted for Nearly Two Years as
Told by One of the Searching
Party-The Men Were Smothered
to Death.
PITTsBURG, March 24.-The mystery
surrounding the Hill Mine Farm at
Dunbar, where so many miners were
entombed by the explosion and fire
nearly two years ago, has been solved.
Twenty-nine bodies have been found.
Only one of the bodies has been iden-
titled, and that was of Richard Bageley,
whose gold watch and other articles
were found on his person.
The men all died from suffocation or
drowning, as there were no indications
of a fire in the place where they were
found. One of the men who was in the
rescuing party when the explosion and
fire occurred, and who was afterwards
among the number that tried to cut a
new way into the mine where it was
supposed the men were still alive, was
interviewed by reporter, and said:
A Searcher's Story.
''Three weeks ago we drew out the
water from No. 3 flat. Two men entered
the flat to investigate. They were Gen
eral Superintendent Hill and Superin-
tendent Lang At that time they dis
covered that the fire had not done any
damage in the fiat, and the men working
there must have died from suffocation.
Near the slope entrance stood three
loaded cars untouched by the flames.
The numbers of the cars and the name
of the driver, Elmer Dewey, were upon
the cars tackled to the frames. At the
time there was three feet of water in
the fiat.
After satisfying ourselves that the
men in there had not been burned, we
cane out and closed up the fiat entrance
till the water could be drawn from it.
The. pumps were put in order and we
made good progress. True, we had
difficulties to overcome, but from the
was commenced difficulties were not
considered. Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Lang
We're always with us, under heat that
wonld kill man not used to it.
A Fearful Task.
"Time and again we were disheart-
ened, but encouraged by the superin-
OtliNlCIil VIC MClll OD. lie tIlu HIS come.
Before the week is over the bodies of
the unfortunate men who persisted in
the mine will be brought to the surface
The search for them has been horrible
one. Fancy yourself cropping along in
the darkness and putting your hand
upon bloated corpse. The sensation is
simply indescribable, but it was a work
OF duty, and 1t had to be done. The
stencil in that fiat was awful. The
water taken out, the air bad, black
damp prevalent-it was not much Won
der that we were sick.
why have we not brought out the
bodies2 Simply because of the excite
ment that would be raised, and because,
also, they We're not in condition to be
brought ont We have found three
mules; two of them are perfectly pre-
served, and one of them is in bad shape.
Not far up the fiat entrance we came
across Dan Shearins little dog. Poor
Ban he lost his life along with the other
boys. think that the bodies will be
taken out tomorrow"

PRICE ONE CENr.
ANENT BEHRING SEA
Still Guarding in Secret the Latest
Correspondence.
GUT TIE SUBSTANCE LEAKS OUT.

The General Character of Lord Sails
bury's Note Described as Evasivc
and EGuivocating-Th President,
in Responding, Assumes a Vigor-
GUS Attitude and Is Upheld by the
Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-The presi-
dents latest message on the Behring sea
question was sent to the senate yester-
day. The full text Of the message is
still guarded with the greatest secrecy.
Ut is learned, however, that the presi-
dents message incloses Lord Salisbury's
latest note and the presidents answer
thereto. Lord Salisbury's note may be
described as synopsis of the detailed
reply to the state department note which
is to follow by mail. His refusal to
consent to renewal of the modus
viyendi Is accompanied with several
counter propositions, the reading of
which was received with Unsurpassed
irritation by the senate. The general
character OF the note is described as
eyasive and equivocating.
The Presidents Reioinder.
The presidents rejoinder was also
transmitted to the senate. 1t is
pungent communication in which the
president broadly, but in diplomatic Ian
guage, hints that Lord Salisbury has
not met his overtures in a straightfor-
ward, businessliie manner. The presi-
dent insists upon renewal of the modus
yivendi, without reference to insig-
Aifcant or irrelevant conditions, and
closes his note with the stirring asser-
tion that if the government of Great
Britain declines to assist in the protec-
tion of the seals during the arbitration
of the claims of the United States, he
will proceed to enforce the laws and
exclude poachers from Behring sea if the
military force of the United Stares is
required to accomplish it.
Upheld by the Senate.
The note created o sensation in the
senate.
The gravity Of the case has led to a
renewal of the strongest efforts of the
senators to prevent the public from be-
ing made acquainted with the facts un-
iii the correspondence has progressed
further. There was no expression of
opinion by the president in his letter
of transmittll, but this was not needed,
in view Of the clearly defined position
assumed by him i'll his rejolnder to Lord
Salisbury, which appeared to meet with
the unanimous approval of the senators,
although the debate itself was too short
to disclose officially the standing of the
senator's.
Although there has been nothing in
the nature of direct vote upon the
treaty of arbitration, and there is well
defined opposition to it as a surrender
by the United States of her rights ac-
quired by treaty from Russia, it can be
stated that the treaty will soon be rati-
fed by the senate. But resolution
will accompany it reciting that there
does not appear to be any sufficient
reason for the abatement by the United
States of its claims to jurisdiction, pend
ing arbitration, and authorizing the
president to use all the force of the
military arm of the government To
secure the protection of the rights of
the United States.

THE NATIONS MONEY.

The New York Evening Post gives
a clear synopsis of the various kinds
of money which go to make up our
currency.
/. Gold coin. Everything else
rests upon it, including the standard
silver dollar The gold dollar is the
"unit of value" and the only one
known to the law. The meaning of
the pharse "unit of value,n since silver
dollar was introduced into our coin
age in 1878, seem to be restricted to
custom house valuations the rating of
foreign coins and other technical mat
tiers. lnasmuch as gold is the only
thing in our yarigated currency that
stands on its own bottom, it results
that gold bullion answers the same
purpose as gold coin for monetary use.
2. Standard silver dollars. There
are abont 100000, 900 Of theso in actual
circulation, answering the same pur-
pose as small notes. The remainder
of the silver dollars, about $247,00O,-
600 are held in the government store
houses, most of them being represent
ed by
Silver certificates Accordingly to
the latest report there were $326,680,-
S03 of these in circulation, and there
can be no more of them. These pieces
of paper are not legal tender
4. Greenbacks. These are the legal
tender notes issued during the war,
amounting now to $349,881 ,016, of
which about $l0O,0Oo,000 are held by
the national banks as a part of their
reserves. No more can be issued.
3. Legal tender notes under the act
of 1890. These are issued in payment
for silver bullion bought by the Gov
ment under said act at rate of 4,600,-
600 ounces per month. With silver
selling at 81 cents per ounce, the
monthly output Of notes would be
about $3,900,000. This is continuing
operation. The whole amount at
present is about $l00,00O,000.
6. National bank notes. These
amount to $167000000, or thereabouts.
They are not legal tender between in
diyiduals, but are such at all national
banks, each bank being required to re-
ceive them at par for any Indebtedness
due to itself.
T. Gold certificates and legal ten
der certificates are not in general cir
culation. They are issued by the
treasury on the deposit of gold, or of
either kind of legal tender notes, for
the convenience of banks.
8. Subsidiary coins. These it is
not necessary to describe. They in
clude everything less than dollar
that circulates as money. They are
not legal tender beyond SIS. The treas
ury redeems them as legal tender
money whenever requested to do so.

Deafness Cant Dc Lurea

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is arly one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an innamed con-
dition Of the muscous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out, and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
