HARRISON FOR JUSTICE,

CHICAGO. Jan. 24-At an informal con-
ference OF lawyers today, at which the
question of filing the supreme court va
cancy caused by the death of Justice
lamar was discussed, a suggestion was
made that commended itself AS an eQuit-
able mode of providing place for ex-
presidents when they possess the required
legal attainments. 1t was to petition
President Harrison to resign and let Vice
President Morton succeed hiuf rs presi-
dent, Mr.. Morton then 10 nominate Mr..
Harrison to the supreme bench. The law
yers say that President Harrison's recog
ujZed position a a lawyer would make the
appointment tiJ one strictly on its merits,
while it would furnish the president with
hard work, the best sOlace TO domesti c
grief, and make it unnecessary to return
TO his deso.ate Indiana home. The sug-
gestlOn was received with favor

today, and PresidenU-elect Cleveland and
Mr.. Bayard, now Mr.. Cevelsnd's guest,
and the first two named gentlemen enter
ed into conference with Mr.. Cleveland,

entering the cabinet.
The only other member thus far thoug BIT
to have been selected besides Mr. Carlisle
is Mr. Lamont, who, 1t is claimed, is
booked for secretary of the navy. From a
most reliable source comes the informa-
tion that Chairman Harrity of Pennsyl-
vania has been tel graphed for. and is TO
be rendered the postmaster generalship.

Cleveland's cabinet.as follows:

THE PRIZE RING.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24-The lovers of
pugilism will have plenty of local enter
tainment this week, as two fights are on
the bills. Tonight at the California club
Purtell met Barron, the Australian.
Those who ought TO know said that Pur-
tell ought to have won, as he is only 19 aud
has science and strength; but, as the
Australian had never been defeated aud
had knocked out all opponents in short
ordeT, he was well backed.
Barron won from Purtell in the seventh
round.
Tom Tracy, the undefeated Australian
welter-weight, and Billy Gallagher of
California, the best 143-pound man. will
meet at the Pacific club next Friday
night. The mill promises to be one of the
most exciting ever witnessed in the state

sneclal nLsnatcb to the Daily Easl..


GUTHRIE, o. T.. Jan. 24-Yesterday the
monotony of legislative life was varied by
a passage-at-arms, as it were, between
Representatives Cunningham and Orms-
bee It is refreshing TO find IN the council,
as well as in the house. members Of the
legal profession who have some pride. 1t
was common remark that the last Iegls-
lature was remarkable for its ignorance OF
common law What it did or did not do
cannot be considered precedent. 1t be-
hooves this legislature TO look TO 1t that
the same be not said of them. The rep
resentatiye from Logan was and Is
thoroughly in sympathy with the idea
enat the legislature should be provided
with all the conditions Of success. He
only asked that these conditions be made
legally The minority in the council the
other day held the same way The dis
cussion came up over council bill No. %,
providing for additional offices. 1t Is
quite questionable whether the governor
of the territory would affiX his signature
10 a bill that he knew had not the
warrant of law. 1t is TO be hoped that
this matter will be quickly adjusted and
the legislature get down 20 business.
One Of the greatest needs is a law en-
abIng the school districts TO bond Tor the
erection of school buildings The law
should permit the voters of the respective
districts TO decide for themselves whether
they will vote the bonds. Guthrie and
Oklahoma City pay out nearly $1,000 an-
uually for shacks. They are tired Of it, as
are other towns in the territory. But this
is not the worst OF it. Our children are in
Il-ventilated and poorly lighted rooms
The sick list is appalling and the amount
Of injury done the eyes by insufficient
H. ht can hardly lie estimated. We feel
assured that the present legislature will
see the propriety of permitting the people
20 decide for themselves whether or not
,hey Will build school houses. We need a
clear, simple school bond bill. The school
houses will be built for all time, and it is
proper that those who are TO come to
Oklahoma should help bear the burden,
Rnd tins they will gladly do. The legisIa-
Jure. in the name of the children and OF
the public morals of the territory, is called
upon 10 enact good bond law.

THE EGYPTIAN sOUABgLE.

LONDON, Jan. 24-The latest dispatches
from Cairo state That the hostility of the
khediye toward the English shows no
signs of abating. In answering the threat
uttered by Lord Cromer, 10 the effect that
a complete change of government might
be necessary III the event of resistance 70
British authority, the khediye replied that
he only yielded to force. The khedive has
been strengthened ia his attitude of antag-
onism toward the English by deputations
from the provinces. headed by local Off
ciais hostile TO British control. These
deputations have addressed the khedive
in hatterjng language, congratulating aim
on his opposition 20 the English.
PARIS, Jan. 24-Tbe excitement in
France over the action of the British in
Egypt is increasing. The course taken by
England is looked upon as proving the de-
termination of Great Britain 10 persist in
the occupation of Egypt. The newspapers
unanimously call upon the government TO
vindicate the rights of France.

Alton died at the hospital, and Henry
Wiegand died at Alton junction. There
are yet nineteen who are considered
fatally injured, and the probabilities are
that they all will die.
Switchman Schuman c. Cation, who is
said to have left the switch open at Alton
Junction last Saturday, has returned, and
says that be had no inteution of running
away; that be did not leave the switch

4 PIT OF DEATH,
Eighty Hen Killed by an Explosion in an
Austrian Mine.

VIENNA, Jan. 24-An explosion of fire
damp occurred in the. Fortschritt mine at
Dux, in Bohemia, today Dispatches
from Dux tonight say that eighty miners
were killed and scores injured. The ex-
plosion occurred this morning when the
shifts were changing. A cage full of
miners had been lowered halfway down
the shaft, when the ground trembled, a
loud rumbling report was heard and the
cable attached to the cage gave such a
lurch that the lowering machinery broke
A rush of air and dust from the pits
mouth, the sound of crashing timbers and
the cries of the men in the cage gave
warning to the men above OF the extsnJ of
the disaster. Help was summoned. the
machinery repaired after delay of half an
hour, aud the cage raised. Ten of the occu-
pants of the cage had been killed instantly
by the shock; ten more had suffered in
Juries from which they cannot recover.
while five who had broken limbs and in
ternal injuries, will live. They had been
half-sutfOCated by the gas rising in the
shaft, ana said that no man could live
below.
An hour later the superintendent of the
mine and five miners from the night shift
went down in the cage They were unable
to proceed more than 100 yards from the
shaft into the gallery, but found fourteen
dead bodies. OF the fifty men who had
been waiting for the cage, ten had been
killed and forty partially crushed by fall
ing timbers, or half sutfocated by foul air.
a short distance from the shaft the super
lntendent found four bodies which were
crushed beyond recognition. The dead
and injured were taken to the top, where
the whole mining settlement had gather
ed. Another rescuing party soon went
down. After three of them had been car
ried back to the shaft unconscious, they
penetrated to the entrace of the gallery.
The entrance was completely blocked by
the wrecked woodwork. The rescuing
party could see several dead bodies on the
other side of the tim bers: but they were
unable to get at them, and returned to the
top eDlptyhanded.
1t is believed that all the men in the
gallery were suffocated or killed by the
shock of the explosion. Twelve miners
who worked iu the extreme interior of the
mine on the night shift and who had not
started for the shaft 50 soon as their COM
panions, are also believed to be dead.
Despite the apparent hopelessness of the
situation another rescuing party is in the
mine and thousands have gathered at the
pits mouth. When the extent of the dis
aster began TO become evident the wo-
men of the dead mems families attempted
to mob the mine officials, accusing them
Of carelesSnesS in the management of the
mine and of Indifference as to the fate of
their husbands and brothers The mine
officials sent to Dux for police, and three
companies of soldiers are camped in the
fields around the pits mouth tonight. The
miners families.are still on watch and
will probably remain in the fields all
night, despite the inclemency of the
weather.
