CLEVELAND STANDS FIRM.
He VIII Net Listen to Proposals for Silver
Compromise.

WASHINGTON, DC, Oct. 2.-Mr. Car
Isle has consulted again with President
Cleveland on compromise terms, but
with no satisfactory results. 1t
is understood that the reply he
has authorized Mr.. Carlisle to
!. give to the advocates Of compromise is
that he will listen to no compromise in
yolving the further purchase OF silver
until the supreme effort has been made
by the friends of unconditional repeal
to avail themselves of their conceded
strength as a majority of the Senate,
and to force vote. If the effort fails,
then he may listen to compromise
as the less of two evils.
Senators who have been most active
In trying to effect a compromise on the
repeal bill do not express themselves as
discouraged by the outlook this morn
ing. They say that nothing is likely to
transpire in that direction during the
present week, but express the opinion
that the beginning of next week will
see change in the situation, by which
time the Senate will be more thorough
ly impressed with the futility of the
effort to pass the pending bill in its
present shape and that this further de-
lay will have the general effect Of con-
vincing senators of the impossibility OF
any mans getting just what he may
want. The extreme men on both sides
are still holding out stiftly, however,

NEW MINE LAW NEEDED,
Michigan Will Move for Better In
sDectiOn of Shafts.

spection of Shafts.
MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. 2.-The awful
disaster at the Mansfield iron mine last
Friday has already led to a popular
movement for the modification of the
Michigan law providing for the inspec-
ton Of mines. During the six years
this law has been in force there has not
been single instance where the re-
sponsibility for an accident has been
fixed upon a mining company, nor has
it brought about any change in the
methods Of mining that would insure
greater safety to miners. AS the law is
framed the election of the mine in
spector in each county devOlves
upon the county board of supervisors.
Two-thirds of the supervisors in the
mining districts are resident managers
or chief clerks of the mines, thus max
ing the mine inspector dependent for
his election upon the very corporations
whose methods he is charged by law to
scrutini2e carefully and condemn when
ever he finds them likely to endanger
the lives of employees. The legislature
Of 1894 will be urged to make the mine
Inspector elective by popular vote in
officers. 1t is also suggested that the
county system of inspection be abOl-
lshed and Il state inspector elected.
1t is now known that twenty-eight
persons persisted by the flooding of the
Mansfield mine Their bodies will
never be recovered.
