THE WILSON BILL.

House Ways md Means Committee WRtoh-
Ing tho Senate Caucus with Intercst-No
Material Change Looked for.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 9S-Members
OF the wavs and means committee OF the
house are watching with the keenest
interest tho action OF tho senatorial
caucus on the tariff bill. The statement
made in the caucus that the Wilson
bill had been framed without any con-
suItation with President Cleveland or
Secretary Carlisle ia denied by members
OF the committee. An Associated Press
reporter talked to-day with all the
Democratic members OF the committee
in the city. 1t disclosed that they were
not apprehensivc that the senate action
would materially change the policy and
the schedules OF tho Wilson bill. Re.
preventative Whiting, however, is tho
one Democratic member OF the commit
toe who openly takcs q different view.
DO authorized tho following statement:
u have from the start inaisted that
mono oil tho great staple products OF the
country should 90 on the free list and I
therefore sympathizs with the efforts OF
the senators to restore to the dutiaolc
list the natural products OF the country.
/ believe conservative mon will arrco
that this is the wise course for the bust
meas interests. What is best for the
country will in the end DO bes: ior tho
Democratic party"
Representative Bynum, OF tho COM
mittee, said:
II do not yet understand tha: the
senate caucus is materially changing
the Wilson bill, but on the contrary
that caucus has taken the bill from the
finance committee, where tho Wilson
bill was being changed. Whatever the
senators may 10 will not interrupt the
purpose OF this Congress to reform the
tariff. There will be either revenue
reform bill or an abaalonnent OF the
Democratic party"

IMPRISONED IN a MINE.


Five Miners Hurled, but All believed to
Hnye Escaped Injury.
ASHLAND, Pa, Feb. 2S.-Five mon are
tonight imprisoned in tho Boston Run
mine in this place, as tho result OF q
fall OF coal which occurred to-day.
Thoro is every reason TO bolievo that
the mon will be released before morn.
ing, aud it is known that they arc alive
and probably unhurt. Tho mine Is
operated by the Reading Coal and Iron
Company and at the timG OF tho acci-
dent thore were seven men at work in it.
They were: Joseph and John L.
Meeks, twin brothers; Charles Mahon,
Louis White, Edward Mengel, James
Kramer and William Ervine. '
They were in one OF the upper lifts,
when large fall OF crop and surface
coal took place, filling the gangway and
chokingit up completely, thus cutting
off all means OF escape for the impris-
oned men.
As soon as the accident was discovered
Superintendent Neith and squad OF
rescuers entered the mine and began
the work Of extricating the men from
their perilous positions. They found
but little trouble in making good head
way. rs the fall was loose and very
light. At3 o'clock they heard tappings
on the other side OF the wall upon
which they were working and few
minutes later their shouts were an-
swered by faint, but cheerful cries
from the imprisoned miners.
At o'clock tho rescuers camo upon n
pocket in which they found the Meek.
or brothers safe and sound without
scratch OF nny kind. From them they
learned that the other men were about
fifty yards further in the mine, having
run in that direction when the fall
came. II there should be no further
cave-in there Is no reason to doubt that
tho rescuers will reach them by 2
o'clock in the morning. Superintend.
ent.Veith says he has no fears for the
safety of the men, and believes that all
OF them are uninjured.
