THE END OF TIE TARIFF DEBATE
VIII Be Reached in tho Senate rms
Week, Possibly by Tuesday Night
Pro~raume in tha house.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June A.-There is
little doubt in any quarter that the present
week will see the end of the tariff debate
in the Senate. Estimates as 10 the time
when the final vote shall be reached range
from Tuesday until Saturday, but ma
iority of the Senate has expressed tne
opinion that the final vote Will De
taken on Wednesday or THURSDAY.
With the thermometer ranging from
95 TO 99, as il did on Saturday and to-day,
Senators find every reason far dispatchlng
the business as rapidly as possible In
view OF this fact Senator Harris sun
thinks il possible to conclude the work on
the bill by Tuesday night. To accomplish
this, however, means very RAPID WORK,
comparatively few speeches and the posi-
bic postponement Of important items,
such as reciprocity, until the conference
reports shall be made
Railway pooling is expected TO be the
main subject for discussion before the
House during the coming week, with the
admission of New Mexico TO Statehood
and the taxation of greenbacks as incident
al questions.
Speaker Crisp's illness during the past
week has prevented the arrangement OF
any exact programme, but Representative
Catching's rule committee, SAID that three
bills mentioned above were hkely 10 oc-
cupy the house, although no order OF pre-
cedence for them had been arranged.

267 men and boys descended the

only seventeen have been saved. A large
number OF bodies are buried beneath the
earth falls, and il has been found lmpossl-
ble as vet to extricate them. Those not
killed by the explosion, or crushed TO
death by the falling earth and rock, were
undoubtedly ssphyxiated by tRe after
damp. The bodies of those recovered who
were killed by the actual explosion, when
was terrific, were terribly mutilated. Ia
many cases arms and legs were blown
completely from the trunks. Limbs from
missing bodies have been found in seyera!
parts of the mine.
Late this evening the rescuing parties

New YORK, June s3-A bomb was ex'
nloaed at the meeting Of the Central Lsoor
Union to-day when an officer Of the union
announced that the Washington street
labor bureaus were shipping large numbers
OF men to the coal regions under very peeu-
liar circumstances.
The Central Labor Union is one OF the
largest in the country, aud IL was recently
asked by Pennsylvania mining ASSOCIATIONS
TO assist their agents in an investigation OF
the labor bureaus, about 6fty OF which are
scattered along Washington street
Il was stated at the meeting today thatN
the men who are sent away are practically
Shaughaied They are made to sign
one-sided ironclad agreement without Dc,
ing told anything Of their destination, and
are then shipped away. Most OF the men
are foreigners, aud IL is SAID that every
shin that arrives brings hundreds OF men
