SEA AACHlNG PARTIES AT WORK | They Were Obliged to Quit Their La bors on eco unt of More SqueezinS- Fifteen A Acres of the Mine Fell. W1LKEsBARRE, Pa., Feb. IA There i no change in the condition at the Gaylord mine, in Plymouth, up to this evening The reecuing party who are working tt reach the entombed timbermen are now clearing out the old manway that run. alongside of the plane which Is filled witt colm. When this can be cleared it will give the searching squads means of enter. ing the breast which divides the Gaylord from No of the Delaware and Hudeou collisry. Other men are at work boring through pillars in the mine with hope of finding the men, but little headway has been made.
 At 6 p. m. the searching party which had been increased to 100 men were work ing against great difficulties, They were obliged to quit and hasten to the foot of the shaft on account of more squeezing. The officials are reticent. but it has been made known that over fifteen acres of the inside workings of the Gaylord fell during the day and more is likely to come down during to night.
 The surface in the neighborhood Is also beginning to crack. and seams can now be seen fully eight inches in width. The old wol lkings of the Parrish colliery adjoining are also showing signs of weakness, and Q number of talls have occurred since morn ing. The officials of the Delaware and Hudson company, which is mining coal near by, have taken every precaution to protect their portion of the mine.
 WILL PUT A DUTY ON SUGAR. 1t is Believed That Such a Move Is
 Essential for the Passage of the
 Tariff Bill Weatern Men Arc
 Pleased.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. IA The members of the subcommittee met this morning with the other members of the finance commit tee, every member being present but MT. Vance, who Is i'll. tis understood the main topic of discussion was the sugar schedule. While the majority of the com mittee expressed themselves as opposed to a tax on sugar, 1t was demonstrated that such tax was absolutely essential to se- cure the passage of the bill, or lssst to pre- vent It's recommitment.
 Following this mesting, Senators White and Cafferey held long conference with the Louisiana delegation of the house, the result of which was that the fight for sugar should be made on the floor of the senate if sufficient duty was not received in committee. Senator White of Cali fornia was before the sub committee in the interest of California fruits. He believes more revenue will be derived from fruits under the prospective senate schedule than Is now provided for in the house bill. He also made an argument for @ duty on sugar.
 Tte He,!e.n m are fe sling very happy over the concessions they claim have been made them in regard to the lead and lead ore. The Wilson bill will be materially changed in this respect, the change grow ing out of a desire on the psrt of the democratic silver men to return thu cordial support they received from the west and the northwest in the fight against the re- peal of the Sherman act.
 Under the Wilson bill lead ore is prscti- cally on the free list, the nominal duty of 15 per cent. being put upon it. As the 1t will carry 8 duty of one cent pound, and the two provisos in the house bill will be eliminated. One of these provisions thus stricken out admits free all lead ore found in silver ore where the latter shall be of greater value; another is retaliation ppon any foreign government that shall impose an export duty on lead ore or silver ores con tsining lead exported to the United States. and in that event the duty on pig lead ,etc. ], fit only to be manufactured shall remain as 1t is under the present law. This retail istory proviso will bs stricken ont and the duty on pig lead kept as 1t is in the Wilson bill at cent pound.
 The effect of the senate oommittee's change is, therefore, to put lead of all kinds on the dutiable list at 8 uniform rate of 1 cent pound.
