MINoNK, H., Dec. 21.-At 5 o'clock
this afternoon a fire, which is still
burning, in the mine operated by the
Chicago & Minonk Coal Mining COM
pany, held 800 miners in deadly peril Of
their lives. All Of them made their
escape, and but few were injured. The
man most seriously hurt is George Erb-
land. who caused the disaster. He is
desperately burned and his chance of
recovery Is very slight. Erbland started
the fire by attempting to light his torch
While standing near a large can Of
kerosene. The gas from the oil
famed up as Erbland lit his torch,
and in his efforts to eXtinguish the
flames he upset the can of kerosene.
which at once gave the flames great i'm
petus. The eau was upset close 10 the
dry timber lining the walls of the main
shaft, and this was ablaZe in an instant.
The fire spread with an appalling rapid
lily, and for a time il seemed as though
the 800 men in the shaft must perish.
About 100 of them were, however, taken
I'D the main shaft before the fire rem
dered ii useless TO attempt to escape by
that route. Two hundred men were
al the bottom of the shaft, and the
fire was spreading furiOusly. The
widest kind of rumors were
aioat, and panic prevailed around the
mouth Of the shaft, where the families
Of the imprisoned miners and others at
tracted by the disaster had formed a
large crowd. Ii was found that there
was not sufficient hose 10 reach suffi-
ciently far down the shaft TO be of use
in extinguishing the flames. and the
illinois Central at once dispatched an
engine TO Eureka, few miles away, for
more hose. 1t came within a remark
ably short time, and two gallant
fellows at once made an attempt
TO descend the shaft. The smoke,
however. was pouring out in such
dense clouds that the men were dragged
back half-suffOcated and two others at
once seized the hose and started down.
They were drawn back nearly dead. a
third attempt met with no better success.
and il was then seen that unless the
men succeeded in escaping through the
ventilating shafts their hope of life
was gone. There are three ventilating
shafts, one north, one northeast and one
northwest OF the main shaft. To these
the men in the mine had rushed crazed
with fear. burned with falling embers.
and choked and blinded by the
smoke which was aapidly filling the
mine. Fortunately every man reached
the foot of one of the three ventilating
shafts. and was quickly drawn to the
surface. Inside an hour after Erbland
attempted to light his torch all the men
were safe above ground. Many of the
men reached the upper air in des-
perate condition, half-stTangled and
blinded with the smoke. but medical
aid and fresh air soon brought them
around. and all will recover, with the
exception of Erbland, whose injuries
were received from the explosion OF the
can of OIL At midnight the fire is still
burning, and is absolutely beyond con-
troll. The only way of extinguishlng
the flames will be to food the mine. and
this may be done tomorrow. 1t is i'm
possible tonight to approximate the
amount Of damage done.

AFTER TAMMANY.
New York State Democracy Meet
and Organize.

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-The New York
state Democracy, which aims at the
overthrow of Tammany Hall, and boss
ism throughout the state, met in Cooper
Union tonight to perfect a permanent
organization. The hall was crowded
and there was great enthusiasm. EX-
Secretary OF the Treasury Fairchild was
elected chairman. In accepting
the Office Mir. Fairchild said in part:
I'VE have met 10 discharge a patriotic
duty in doing what we can TO set on foot
a movement which has for its object the
association Of the rights of majorities
inievery meeting of Democrats called, to
do something SO simple and elementary
in country governed by the votes OF
all, that one who is not learned
in the recent political history of
the Democratic party in this
state may well wonder wherefore
the need of this. And yet the future ex-
lstence Of the Democratic party in his
state demands that such action be taken.
and that 1t be resOlutely supported by
all who care for the maintenance of
Democratic ideas in government"
Resolutions were passed authorizing
Chairman Fairchild TO appoint an eX-
ecutiye committee not exceeding 100
which shall constitute the general COM
mittee of the new movement. This
committee will be charged with per-
fecting the organization in this county
Of the state Democracy and TO stregtheu
and populariZe the Democratic party
throughout the state. Speeches were
made by John ". Gof. Theodore Sutro
and Augustus a. Healy Mr. Golf said
that the crime of losing the constitu-
tional convention, which has fallen TO
the Republican party, could be laid at
the doors OF hydra-headed bOssiSm. and
for twenty years the Democrats of this
state will not have the opportunity 10
relieve that great misfortune.

TOPEKA. Kan. Dec. 21.-A special
from Abilene, Kan, to the Capitol
says: Letters written by one R. F.
Rock. and dated at Topeka, were found
here and outlined a scheme of
kidnapping Ruth Cleveland next month.
Five people were named as implicated
in the deal. 1t was at first thought to
be fake, but developments show that
it is probably the scheme of crank
who has been banging around the city
recently, but has gone East. The police
are reticent about the matter, but it is
known that two women are involved in
the plot. The date for the abduction
was set for some time in January. Steps
have been taken for the arrest of the
parties to the conspiracy, who are now
under surveillance, as soon as it is
thought that all involved are known.

ANTI-OPTION BILL
Must First Pass Through the
House

WASHINGTON, Dec. q. - Senator
Washburn, OF Minnesota. who pressed
the anti-optiOn bill in the last congress.
will not Introduce the measure in the
senate. because the bill on its face is to
raise revenue and must originate in the
house. Senator Washbnrn has been
discussing witt constitutional lawyers a
bill which would directly prohibit deal
ing in options, as be wanted. if possible,
TO present bill of that kind which would
receive the support of many senators
who do not believe IN using the taxing
power 10 prevent dealing in futures.
He has concluded that such a bill can
not be successfully maintained, and
that the anti-opuon bill must be based
on the prohibition or restriction by leg
islatiOn. This being the case. the bill must
first pass the house. Chairman Hatch,
OF the agricultural committee, says that
be Will not attempt to introduce this
bill until after the holidays, as it has
been decided that there must be a QUO
rum Of the house favorable 10 the bill
present before it can be referred to this
committee. The raising of the point OF
no quorum on the reference Of the pure
food bill yesterday shows him that he
could not proceed without the friends
OF The bill being in attendance.

EXECUTIVE BUSINESS
Occupied the Time of Senators
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-ID the senate
today a good part of the time was de-
voted TO executive business, and many
nominations were confirmed. Mr..
Proctor rep, Vt), introduced a
bill to annex the territory of
Utah TO the state Of Nevada. Referred
to the committee on territories. Mr..
Mitchell rep, Or. asked 10r the re
printing of a memorial on the subject
OF bankruptcy, and in connection there
with said there was a general impress
sion. by reason of certain action taken
elsewhere, that all hope of securing
legislation upon that subject was dead.
The impression was not justified by any
means of fact.
At l2:45 the senate, on motion of Mr..
Mills Dem, Texas, proceeded 10 the
consideration of executive business.
When the doors were again opened the
corrected house joint resolution. .provid-
ing for the holiday recess Of congr ess
from today until Wednesday, Jan. 8,

Cured in. At 1:50 the senate took a

the recess at 2:30 the senate resumed
It's session, and. after transacting some
routine business. at 2:45 again went
into executive session. The legislative
session was resumed at $40, and the
chair laid before the senate a communi-
cation from the secretary Of state, Il
response 10 the resolution Of
the senate calling for informa-
ton as TO whether permission
had been granted any foreign cable
company TO land its cables or lines on
the coast Of the United States since
March l. 1898. The secretary of state
said no such permission has been grant
ed since March l. 1898. either conditional
ly or unconditionally,k knowing Of no law
Of congress authorizing him or any other
executive officer TO do so: that several
times prior 10 that date permission was
refused unless completed on prescribed
conditions, and that he knows Of DO
reason for granting such permission
. since March I, 1898, that did not exist
prior to that date. Mr.. Frye {Rep., Me-,
the author Of the resolution TO which the
communication of the secretary of state
was a reply. asked that the communica-
ton lie on the table. as he desired 10
call the attention Of congress TO some
matters connected with it. Then, on
motion Of Mr.. German Dem, Md. the
seuate al 3:45 .. m. adjourned until

THREE KILLED.
Four Men Run Down and Three
Lose Their Lives.

GREENsBURG, Pa, Dec. 21.-This
evening at 6 o'clock four men, who
were walking on the track. were struck
by Passenger Engine No. 81. of the
Pennsylvania railroad, a quarter of
mile east of here. Three of them were
instantly killed. The other escaped with
a few scratches. The train was running
very fast, and the four men were hurled
into a ravIne 100 feet below. John
Scott. an Englishman, the one sur
vivor. knew only one Of the men VINO
were killed. He was his companion,
and he stated to the PENNSYLVANIA rail-
road physician that his name was
Arthur Cavebaugh. He said that they
had been working at Mcdonald as
miners, and were on their way 10 Will
Jamestown. Pa, where they expected
employment. The other two dead men
are unknown. Scott and Cavebaugh
met the others this morning, and they
did not give their names. They
only said they came from Colo
RADIO. All three of the dead
men were we'll dressed. one
of them wearing fine kid gloves. Be-
hind the statement OF the one man who
escaped are some mysteTiously impOr-
tant disclosures that the railroad au-
thoritieS are exercised over, and which
are not 10 be made public at this time.
Scott. after telling the story first men
toned, made another statement, which
involved secret crOss-queStioning in q
private Office at the railroad station by
the railroad officials and the authorities
there. All efforts TO learn something at
tie sitting were fruitless.

THE BARCHARD TRIAL.
The Son Is Placed on the Stand in
His Defense.

Special TO the Globe.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Dec. 21.-The state
finished its testimony in the Barchard
murder trial this afternoon, and made
out strong case. The defense, in its
presentation to the jury, said it would
Introduce proof showing that John
Barchard's death was not the result of
a criminal act, and that under no cir
cumstances did the defendant have any,
thing to do with his death. Barchard
was then put on the stand. and told his
story, which was quite lengthy, and
saYored Of the dime-novel style. He
talks very much as if he were not well
balanced mentally. and it is thought
that the insanity theory will be ad-
vanced by the defense before the trial
proceeds much farther. Barchard eX-
plains his fight after the finding of the
body Of the murdered man by SAYING
that the neighboTs were plotting his
death, and that he intended 10 appeal to
the authorities for protection.

HerDert this evening gave out his de-
cision in the case of Commodore Stan
ton, detached from command of the
South Atlantic sQuadson Tor saluting
Mello in the harbor at Rio. The sec
retary restores Stanton 10 duty, and
assigns him 10 the command of the

garded as perhaps the choicest station
to command among them all. The con-
Guiding portion of Secretary Herbert's
letter is as follows: The department
has never for a moment considered that
you were Intentionally guilty of wrong
in this matter, but only that you COM
mitted q grave error OF Judgment. For
this reason. and TO satisfy the authori-
ties of Brazil, who were offended at
your action. you were detached from
your command. The department now
feeling assured that no further action
will be necessary 10 prevent a recur-
renee of such errors. viii as soon as
practicable restore you 10 command.

The house waited patiently for an
hour for the adjournment resolution to
come from the senate. The tellers in the
meantime vainly tried to secure quo

that the vote on this motion stood 141 to
