tigating committee met this morning at

bers of the Senate.

| arguments were advanced to the menb bers
I
conservative senators to secure a change

| they know about the connection Of the
trust with the sugar scheduled legislation.

a negative answer or make a technical
denial without perjuring himself,

reported to-day from Masurin. An ex-
plosion of fire damp occurred last night
in the Joahan and Franziska mines at
that place. About 200 miners are said to
be entombed, Both mines are on fire.
The ventilation shafts were destroyed
and the fire is spreading in all directions,
The explosion took place at 10 o'clock

there. This explosion was almost imme-
diately followed by a series of other ex-
plosions in the mines, the most disastrous
of the latter being in Joahan's pit, where
eighty miners were killed. The rescue
party which descended into one of the
pits at 5 o'clock this morning also
perished. The ventilator shafts of sew
eral Of the pits were destroyed by the
fire, which spread in all directions. As
sistauce has been sent to the scene of the
disaster from all directions The Joahan
and Franzska mines are owned by Count
Won Larisch.
At O'Clock this afternoon the fire had
not abated, and men were set to closing
the pits with brick work. 1t was then
thought all the bodies in the mines had
been recovered.
A dispatch from karwln says only
twenty men injured by the explosion were
got out of the mines. Several of them
were dying when brought to the
surface. The rescue party which
was lost consisted of ten
men. Count Larisch has been at
Karwin since last evening, and has super
intended the efforts to save the men and
extinguish the fire. In 1885 there was a
fire in the same mines. IL lasted eight
days, and mining experts say that this
time it will continue to burn for at least a
xypeig

ize Marriages.
London June 15.-The Earl of Dunraven
moved in the House of Lords to-day the
second reading of the deceased wife's
sister bill. He said the experience of the
United States and Canada, which did not
forbid man marrying his deceased
wife's sister, was sufficient refutation of
the objections of the bishops. 1t was a
hardship and a cause of expense that a
man, to marry his deceased wife's sister
and legitimiZe his children by her, must
go abroad to have the ceremony per-
formed.
Lord Herschell. the lord chancellor,
spoke in favor of the bill.
The Arch bishop of Canterbury and
Lords Selborne and Dudley spoke against
it.
The bill was lost by a vote of 129 to 100.
The Prince of Wales, Lord Roseberry
and most of the liberals support the bill,
Lord Salisbury, the Duke of Norfolk,
most of the other tories and some twenty
bishops opposed it.

Fire at Omaha.

just as the men were going to work in the
big beef house of the Hammond packing
plant at South Omaha at a. M, flames
were discovered on the second floor. and be-
fore anything could be done they had spread
to the third and fourth floors. The private
fire department of the Hammonds started
to fight the flames. but the water pressure
was so light that it was mpossible to accom-
plish anything, and word was sent to Omaha
and ali the available apparatus was hurried
to the scene, for as high wind was blowing
the fire threatened to spread to the house of
Swift & Co., and to the stock yards.
All the efforts of the firemen were confined
to keeping the fire from spreading, as there
was no possible show of saving the big beef
house, four story structure, 200x200 feet.
which originally cost 100000, and was filed
with valuable machinery and large amount
of beef.
The efforts of the fremen proved sue
cessful, but only at the cost of two lives.
At II o'clock one of the walls of the burn
ing building fell and two fremen, belong
ing to the private department of the packing
company, were buried under tons of burn
ing timbers and red hot brick.
The killed were; John Steele, Henry
Peters.
On the Hammond plant 81 100000 insur-
auce is carried, $2S0,00o of which covers the
damaged portion, and some think it will
cover all loss.
Hank Peters, one of the injured, died.
Manager Noyes received telegram from
Hammond, Ind, the headquarters of the
company, instructing him to at once begin
arrangements to rebuild the plant.
