Fatal Results of Fire in an Alabama
Mine.
BIRMINGHAM (Ala.l, June 20.-Fire
broke out to-day in the Mary Lee mine,
ten miles from here, cutting off fifty men
from escape who were working in the
rear part of the mine. The imprisoned
men made rush for the opening. rush
ing through fire and smoke. Four of the
number were taken out dead. Their
names are: John Whalen, Superintend-
ent of the mine; G. w. Baskins, William
Mckenzie and an unknown man. Some
who made the run were rescued, and it is
thought the rest escaped.
The work of rescuing went on for sew
eral hours, and by dark every man who
was alive had been taken out. 1t is be-
ieyed all the men have been accounted
for. Those working far back in the mine
could not pass out, and they were loaded
in tram-cars and drawn through the
smoke and flames.

Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.
OMAHA, June 20.-Between 6:3O and
O'Clock this evening Omaha was visited
by one of the strongest gales experienced
here in years. The wind came from
about two points west OF south and DIew
in gusts for about half an hour, attaining
at times a velocity OF nearly forty miles
an hour. It was accompanied by dense
clouds of dust, which obscured the sky
and made it as dark as midnight. Much
damage of a minor nature was done all
over the city. Shade trees and shrubbery
were blown down or broken off and IN
some cases traffic was blockaded by trees
falling across the street. At the Jefferson
Square, near the center of the city, nearly
every tree was blown down. Part OF the
roof of the Woodman Linseed Oil Works
was blown off. The Murray Hotel was
partially unroofed. The glass roof OF the
Omaha Bee building was damaged some
and portion Of the terra Gotta orna-
mental work on the Boyd Opera-house
was blown of.
At Courtland Beach one man was
caught in boat on the lake and drowned.
His body has not been recovered and it
is not known whether the victim is Bra
den. the boat tender, or OBrien. his
assistant. At the Ames-avenue street.
car house one of the electric wires was
blown into tree aud Foreman Parish
climbed up to fix it. He received fatal
shock from the fire.
There are most serious reports from
Lincoln. It was 1umored, directly after
tho blow at Omaha, that the Capital City
had been visited by tornado. Many re-
ports of buildings being destroyed and
lives lost were rife, and as telegraph COM
munication was interrupted for an hour
or so it was impossible to learn the truth.
AS soon as the Western Union could get
a wire working the Lincoln office reported
that the storm there was similar to the
one in Omaha, only severe gale. with
no serious damage and no loss OF life as
far as could be learned.
Passengers who came in on the Burl-
ington trains which passed through the
storm report that the damage in the cOun-
try was but slight. From all directions
word comes of high wind and light rain.
1t seems to have been merely a squall at
the close of an unusually hot and suItry
day.

Cured fully with his own conclusions.

Inclosed find opinion of the Attorney

PORT TOWNSEND, June 20.-In the
tlons there appears to be a seri
Gus conflict between the Customs
officers and commanding officers of the
Behring Sea patrol fleet. The schooner
George r. White of Seattle, which ar
rived last night from Sitka, reports being
boarded by officers of the revenue cutter
Corwin, whose commander sealed up her
arms and ammunition and ordered the
schooner to return forthwith to Puget
Sound. Captain Chenworth of the White
asked permission to proceed to the Japan
coast, which is outside the jurisdiction of
the American and British laws, or else to
remain in the port of Sitka pending q
communication with his owners prelimi-
nary to obtaining permission from the
Treasury Department to go to the Japan
Sea. These requests were refused by
Captain Munger of the Corwin and Com
mander Clark of the Mohican, both of
Puget Sound Immediately, under threat
of seizure.
These facts were reported to the Col
lector of Customs to-day by the master
of the White. Collector Saunders said
the Behrlng Sea commanders are exceed
ing their authority. The Collector con-
tends that the White had perfect right
to proceed to the Japan coast and resume
sealing if she chose. The same privi-
lege is accorded the Canadian sealers by
British men-Of-war.
The matter will be reported to Wash
ington.
Contrary to this policy Customs Off
GERS cleared the sealing schooners James
G. Swan and Columbia, and permitted
The masters of the schooners were or
dered not to take guns or ammunition on
board. This order was obeyed, and the
Indian crews are now armed with spears.
1t is believed that both vessels will take
on firearms when outside Cape Flattery.
The masters of the schooners were eau
toned not to kill any seals. The schooners
are commanded by white men, manned
by Indians. 1t is not likely the vessels
would go to Unalaska on pleasure voy
age, and the only other apparent object
is to seal.
Seven sealing schooners under similar
conditions cleared and sailed from Vic
toria this week for the North Pacific
Ocean. Owners of sealing vessels claim
the Behring Sea officials are very arbi-
trary. and that their rulings are subject
ing their crafts to unnecessary hardships
which will result in financial loss.
