PRINCETON rHEoLosIASs WIN.


Isut the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Holds Them Down to IA Compare
tive Small Score.
The Young Mems Christian Assoca.
ton was defeated by the foo. ball team
from Princeton Theological Seminary
ut the Rlverview grounds Saturday
afternoon, the latter winning by the
score of 14-0. The home team was out
classed by the visitors. but this is not
remarkable when II is understood that
Princeton had several crack players on
the team she brought TO Wilmington.
There was Bradshaw, who used to play
on the Varsity team several years ago,
and Gayley who was once a member OF
the University of Michigan football
team. Then there was Wood, who is
rated as a tirst-class half-back, and who
Is entered already for the first team next
year. Despite these handicaps the
home team played Il comparatively good
game and held Princeton down to IA
points.
The game was witnessed by about
500 people, and two minute halves
were played. The men lined up as

A SPLIT ON SILVER.
The Democratic Silver Confer.
ence at Omaha.

The Democratic Silver Confer.
ence at Omaha.
OMAHA. Neb., June 2O.-Several hun
dred delegates to the Democratic state
silver conference tomorrow arrived to-
day. The affair is going to be exceed.
ingly warm. that is evident. Rumor has
it that an effort will be made to prevent
the carrying out of the original radical
intention of the party who issued the
call, and instead of denouncing the ad.
ministration and declaring for the
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l,
to lndorse the Chicago platform and
recommend to the Democratic state
convention the nomination of Bryan for
governor OF senator, or both. Some
representatives of the administration
wing say that they would stand by
Bryan for governor. provided he would
declare for the Chicago platform, and
that then he might put his own con-
structiOn on the platform.
According to several of the silver
leaders it is quite probable that the Chi
cagO platform will be indOrsed, for they
hold that it is properly Interpreted by
Bryan and it is not intelligently sus-
ceptibe of any such construction as is
given it by Cleveland. 1t is known
that several of the silverltes are not At
all anxious to openly split with the ad-
ministration. The committee OH reso.
lutionS, it is said. has also been selected
in advance, and draft of the resolu-
tlons has already been cast.

Sixty Thousand Tons Of Coal From

Sixty Thousand Tons of Coal From
England.
NEW YORK. June 20.-When the coal
strike first began to assume serious pro-
portions several large operators in this
city, fearing that they would not have
coal enough to enable them to fill their
contracts, ordered from abroad. Eug-
land, Wales and Nova Scotia being the
principal sources of supply which they
sought. Within the short space of ten
DAYS some $4,000 tons were thus ordered.
This was fully four weeks ago, and of
this 10000 tons there are yet to arrive
about 10000 tons. Some steamship COM
panies have also been importing coal at
their own risk as matter of specula-
ton. and are said to have done fairly
we'll at 1t.
At present, however. no more foreign
contracts are being made, for the strike
seems to be tending toward a settle
ment, and bituminous coal is arriving
from West Virginia at the rate OF sew
enty to eighty cars per day. From the
Cumberland section coal is also arriving
freely, and. as the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company has released large Quan.
titles that have been sidetracked along
its lines and brought it to tidewater, it
looks as If the worst of the famine was
over. Last week and the week before
coal was selling as high as $6 per ton,
but 1t was offered here yesterday at
81. so per ton.

They Will Assist the Government
in an Emergency.
NEW YORK, June 2O.-With reference
to the meeting OF bank presidents held
yesterday afternoon, at which it was
then said in Wall street they had con-
cluded to furnish gold required for ex-
port, today's Evening Post says the
meeting resulted In no such action.
The Post says: ut is on the authority
of some of these bankers who were
present that the statement is made that
that was not done; that the meeting
adjourned sine die, each bank being
left free, as before, TO determine for
itself how much of Its gold it would
part with to any of its customers for
export. All those present expressed
themselves as quite willing to do all in
their power to aid the government in
an emergency, but it was the prevailing
sentiment In this matter that the ques-
ton was to be left to the discretion of

Fifty Have Narrow Escape-
Four Bodies Burned.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 2O.-A fire
broke out in the Mary Lee coal mine.
ten miles from here, today, cutting off
fifty men from escape who were work.
ing in the rear part of the mine. The
imprisoned men made dash for the
opening, rushing through hre. smoke
and flames. Four of the number were
taken out. Their names are:
James Whalen, superintendent of the
mine.
G. w. Baskins.
William Mckenzie.
Unknown white man.
The run to escape the fire was made
in the tram cars, and a. soon as thG
opening was reached the rescuera
assisted the Frustrated men 10 the
surface. With the exception of the four
dead, it is thought that all the
rest escaped, though some are missing
and unaccounted for. When it was
known that the mine was OIL fire, ths
fifty men who were imprisoned began
making efforts to escape. The greater
part OF them were loaded into the tram
cars, which were drawn through the
flames and smoke by means Of wire
cables as rapidly as possible. Others
took their chances on making a
dash through the smoke. Some
got out alive while others were less
fortunate add fell victims to the smoke
and fire. Among the latter was Supt.
Whalen, who was Frustrated. and died
just as he was brought out.
The work of rescue went OH for sew
eral hours, and by dark every man who
was alive had been taken out of the mine.
Many of those who were brought In
tram cars were sutfocated.

SUGAR SCANDAL OVER.
Three Reports Will Likely Be
Made by the Committee.

WASHINGTON. June 2O.-It is possible
that the senate sugar trust investigat-
ing committee will have no more wit
nesses before it. and that the final
report Of the committee will be made
next week. The report, however, will
be withheld for the present. in order
that the committee may be in position
to examine other witnesses in case any
should be suggested. The committee
has had before it all the persons whose
names have been suggested. including
the authors of the newspaper charges,
all the United States senators not ab-
sent from the city, Secretary Carlisle,
the principal officers of the. sugar trust
and others interested in refined
sugar, the brokers through whom
1t was charged that senators had
Speculated in sugar stock during the
pendency of the present tariff bill. two
members of the house of representa-
tiveS, whose names have been mem
toned in connection with sugar leglsla-
tion and speculation. and the mar who
was reported to have heard the cOnver-
sation at the Arlington hotel between
senators and members of the trust.
I'VE have" said Senator Lodge today,
''eXamined all whose names have been
mentioned, but if there are others who
can give us Information we should like
to have their names that they may be
called to testify. We want all tue light
Oh the subject that it is possible to OBJ
tain, but should say that if no other
witnesses are suggested-and know of
no others-we shall soon be ready to
report"
1t is generally believed that there will
be two, if not three, reports on certain
features of the investig alton. Senators
Gray and Lindsay are expected to unite
in one, and Senator Davis and Lodge in
another, while it is uncertain whether
Senator Allen will join with the Re-
publican senators or put i'll all inGe-
pendent report of his own. All the
members will probably unite in what
ever may be said concerning speculation
by senators. Senators Gray and Lind
Say have been engaged today i'll looking

posed minority report to the senate i'll

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The dura-
tion of the debate on the income tax
will probably depend largely upon Sem
ator Hill, and he has expressed the
opinion that two days time will he

Senator Aldrich also expressed the
opinion today that two days would be
all the time required for this debate.
There is disposition on the Repub-
lican side to allow the Democratic mem
bers of the senate to settle this questi
largely among themselves. and the re-
marks on the Republican side probably
will he briefer and fewer in number
than has been expected. Senator Hill
will begin the proceedings tomorrow
with set speech. attacking the tax
vigorously, but it is not believed that
other Democrats. whether favoring or
opposing the bill. will have set speeches

the Populist senators will have consid-
cradle to say on the question. and it is
also probable that Senator Hill's speech

a great deal of rain accompanied the
storm. but quite shower fell after it.
Much damage of minor nature was
done all over the city. Shade trees and
sbrubbery were blown down or broken

SOME INCOME TAXCHAN GES
FINANCE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
LIKELY TO BE ADOPTED.
PROPOSED By SENATOR VEST.

Life Insurance Companies, Build.
ing and Loan Associations to
Be Exempt - Incomes Over
So, 500 in Trust to Be Taxed
The Form Of Oath for Corpora
tion Officers.
WASHINGTON. June Ex-senator Vest
today introduced the amendments which
he announced heretofore would be
offered by the finance committee to the
income tax provisions before that part
of the tariff bill was reached. The first
ofthe amendments provides that mutual
life insurance companies shall not be
required to pay an income tax on the
sums repaid to their policy holders as
dividends or interest OH the surplus
premiums held by such companies.
The provision regarding building and
loan associations is changed to read as
follows: THAT nothing herein con-
tanned shall apply to the loaus made by
buildin and loan associations to their
shareholders for the purpose of enabling
them to provide for themselves homes"
1t is also by the amendments made
the duty of persons acting as trustees
for estates or trusts to render returns
on them when the incomes annually
exceed $500.
Another amendment requires the in
ternal revenue commissioner to pre-
scribe the form of the affirmation or
oath required from the president or
chief Ottlcer of a corporation or company
in giving the net proceeds of his COM
pany. lr the paragraph relating to
these returns by corporations there is
change which provides penalty for re-
fusing to make returns instead of for
refusing to pay the penalties, which is
evidently the correction Of an incon.
gruity i'll the former print.
Another amendment exempts fra
teInal beneficiary societies. orders or
associations operating on the lodge sys-
TEN and which provide for the payment
OF life, sick, accident ami other benefits
to the members of such societies and
their dependents. from the operations
of the law.
An exemption is also made in the case
of such savings banks, saving institu
tiOns. or societies as have no stOckhold-
ers or members, except depositors, and
no capital except deposits; those that
shall not receive deposits to an aggre-
gate amount in any one year of more
than $1,000 from the same deposition;
those that shall not allow an acculnula-
tion or total deposits by any one depos-
itor exceeding $4,000; those that shall
actually divide and distribute to their
depositors, ratably TO deposits, all the
earnings over the necessary and proper
expenses of such bank. institution, or
society. except such as shall be applied
to surplus; and also those that shall not
possess in any form surplus fund ex-
ceeding 10 per cent Of the aggregate de-
pOSits.

TEN TRAMPs TAKEN.
A Gang Of Coxeyites Captured
Near Moorhead.


FARGo.N. D., June 20.-This morning
Deputy Marshal Loomis. with his asso-
ciates, Deputies Hurd, O'Connor and
Bowles, assisted by Chief Sullivan, Of
Moorhead, captured ten Coxeyites near
the Great Northern crossing. east of
Moorhead. Most of the prisoners were
positively identified as being among
those at Dawson when the Northern
Pacific train was captured last week.
They are absolutely certain of the
identity of the engineer as being one of
the prisoners. In searching the pris-
oners several revolvers were found, and
three switch keys were taken from the
engineer. Among the guns was one
taken from Steve Regan at Daw-
son. Regan is the Fargo man who
was knocked down by blow from an
iron bar in the hands Of a Coxeyite. He
has been wired to come to Fargo at
once and identify some of the prisoners.
1t is thought three of the prisoners be-
long to the crowd who fired at a brake
man last night. They are jailed at
MoOrhead.
