TEMPORARY RELIEF.
Talk of Short-Term Bonds or Ger
tificates,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The presi-
dents anti-recesS message today took
both houses of congress by surprise.
It produced a number of conferences
tonight, the result of which will prob
ably be a complete change of plans for
a. holiday recess and the inauguration
of the real work of the session two or
three weeks in advance of the time
when 1t would have been but for the
message. In the senate an effort will
be made tomorrow to secure recon-
sideration of the adjournment resol-
ution, and the house will proceed to
business as if no adjournment resolu-
ton had been adopted. The speaker
will appoint his committees, and 1t ap-
pears most probable that if the senate
fails to reconsider it's adjournment res
olution and sends 1t to the house, THAI.
body will decline to accept the senate
amendments and thus leave the whole
question suspended in the air between
the two bodies for the time being. This
is the general result of conference
between some of the leading republican
senators held with Speaker Reed to-
night. There is some doubt as to how
the senate silver Republicans may act
on the question of reconsidering, but
if they cooperate with their anti-silver
colleagues, it is believed such motion
will carry. The discussion among the
leading Democrats in the senate to-
night is opposed to reconsideration, but
the Republicans think it doubtful
whether they will adhere to their op-
position tomorrow. If the Republicans

RECOVERY OF THE BODIES.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Report of the Commission Comes
to Congress-.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-The annual
report of the interstate commerce COM
mission was transmitted to congress
today. 1t gives a short history OF
traffic agreements among railroads,
and says that two of these recently
formed associations have been held
unlawful by the commission, which
under statutory authority has taken
steps to prosecute by requesting the
district attorneys for the proper dis
tricts to institute necessary legal pros
ceedings to punish the offenders. The
recent trunk line association agrees
ment is referred to as being reported
incomplete, or not then ratified. Tha
former recommendation as to pooling
are repeated, congress being asked to
provide necessary safeguards to pre-
vent the abuse of the pooling agree
ment if it is to be legalized. The re-
port again condemns ticket brokerage
and legislation is asked to secure ne
cessary reports more promptly and
provide for uniform msthod of keeping
railroad accounts; also to prescribe tha
form of rate schedules and joint tariffs
and what they shall contain. Uniform
location of hand-holds on cars and
fixed standard height OF. drawbars are
also recommended.

SCARCITY OF GREENBACKs.
New Workers DIDN'T Know Soon
Enough What They Wanted


NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-The Evening
Post says:
"A curious condition of affairs was
developed today in connection with the
withdrawal of gold from the treasury
and assay office for shipment tomor-
row. In consequence of the sudden
Tightening of the money market, gold
greenbacks Omitted States legal tender
notes. with which to draw the gold
out of the treasury. But for this
much larger amount of gold would be
shipped tomorrow. 1t is only possible
to get large amount of gold out of
the treasury quickly by the presenta-
ton of gold certificates or greenba cks
of large denomination. Large amounts
of greenbacks of small denomina toms
could, of course be obtained, but 1t
would take the treasury officials so
long to examine and count them that
in the withdrawal of millions of dol
lars some days would be required for
the purpose. In such cases the treas
ury would naturally not care to do
the work any faster than was abso-
condition Of affairs continue, that is,
should drawers of exchange, the for
eign and international bankers, have
to ship gold, even if the high rate for
money continued, and sufficient green
backs could not be obtained with
treasury, it would Immediately go to
a premium and specie payments would
then virtually be suspended. The rates
for exchange could be advanced to
meet the cost Of procuring the gold.
Regarding the inability of gold
shippers to secure a sufficient amount
of greenbacks of large denomination
from their bankers, a bank president
said that was the fault of the shippers
themselves. If they had called their
loans yesterday, he said, their banks
would have come in large creditors at
the clearing house today and so have
been we'll supplied with larger bills.
The trouble arose today through some

makes 1t appear that if the commits

facts respecting the Venezuelan bound

try and to personally locate the line,
the work will consume much more time
than is generally believed to be neces-
sary. Outside of the voyage to Vene-
Zuela, which would consume not less
than a month, to and fro, the journey
through the wild interior of the coun-

small flying force of eighty lightly

the Uruan outpost, where the collision
occurred and which marks one end of
the line claimed by Great Britain, could
not be made in less than twenty-three
days, SO that if the commission is to
make proper examination of the
country, the task, including the sea
voyage, will probably occupy almost
six months

EXPLOSION IN A TENNESSED
MINE CAUSES TwENTY-NINE

ROOF OF THE. MINE FALLS.
NO POSSIBLE WAY OF ESCAPE
FOR ANY WHO WE'RE NOT

ALL THE BODIES TAKEN QUIZ
ASOnizinS Scenes at the Mouth a
the Mine When the Corpses
Were Recovered.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 10
Twenty-Five miners lost their lives
today in the Nelson mine, entry No,
10, near Dayton, Tenn, by an ex-
plosion of fire damp. The explosion
was succeeded by a terrific crash,
which indicated that the roof of the
passage through which the men had
entered had fallen in. No avenue Of
escape was left. The mine is the prop
erty of the Dayton Coal & Iron COM
pany. 1t is three miles from the
town of Dayton and reached by a
spur track. The men, both white
and colored, including several boys,
entered the mine to go to work at
o'clock this morning, but nothing
Of the awful catastrophe was known
until IL o'clock, when the drivers
at entry No. 10 found their way
blocked by a solid wall of coal and
slate. The Nelson mine has been
worked for twelve years or more
and the entry where the unfortunate
miners are entombed ran back more
than two miles from the mouth.
The mine is of the kind, common in
Southern coal fields, known as drift
or level-veined mine, worked in the
direction of the vein straight into
the mountain, but before the entry
is reached a long slope extends to
level several hundred yards up
from the foot of the slope, where
tram cars drawn by mules connect
with the outside by a cable, which
hauls the coal up with remarkable
rapidity.
DISTRESSING SCENES.
At the mouth of the drift hundreds
of. women and children soon gath
cred and their grief and despair were
heart-rending. Mothers wringing
their hands, weeping little daugh-
ters and little children, sweethearts
and grey-headed grandparents, all
in the greatest distress, for they
have been told there is no hope, form
a spectacle from which one turns
sick at heart The mines are ven-
.tilated by air shafts or passages. so
I the caving in of the wall at the
entry cut off the draft and death was
certain to those who breathed the
poisoned air. The following is par
tial list of the men in the mine:
Tom Hawkins, single; John Leech

Practical Advantages of Good Roads
Strikingly Set Forth.
The practical advantages of good
roads are strikingly set forth by a
writer in Lippincott's Magazine, the
vicinity of Moorestown in New Jersey,
being selected as an illustration. This
is in Burlington county, ten miles from
Philadelphia. Radiating from Moores-
town are twenty-four miles of good
macadamized roads, built by an issue
of town bonds and by means of the
state aid law of 1891. Before these
roads were constructed real estate in
the neigh borhood of Moorestown was
absolutely dead; since they were built
it is much in request, and near the
town almost city prices have been paid
for land. The contrast in this respect
between Moorestown and other towns
possessing equal natural advantages is
great. Furthermore, instead of four
horse wagons built to carry SO "a
bushel baskets, farmers Whereabouts
now use two-horse wagons carrying
125 baskets of the same size. Argu-
ments of this kind cannot fail to make
an impression on the minds of people
in all farming communities Just the
same results as at Moorestown might
not follow everywhere, but something
approximating to them surely would,
if good roads were provided. The long
and short of the matter is that good
roads pay. This is now matter of alb

SIMPLE WIRE FENCE.

The One Here Illustrated Was Made by
an Eastern Farmer.
The trouble with all woven-wire
fences is that they will wrinkle in go-
ing over hills or through hollows, I
use No. annealed galvanized wire,
strung the distance apart l wish the
wires to be. I use on the end of each
wire an iron spool. The wires go
through the end post and are wound
on the spool. use long, broad sta
pies, but do not drive them home, so
that the wire is loose from one end to
the other end. To keep the wires from
spreading so that animals can crawl
through, fasten them together with
pieces of the same wire cut three
inches longer than wish the wires in
the fence to be apart. One end of
these wires is bent in the shape of
letter U, by bending it in hole bored
one and one-half inch deep, in one
half inch round iron. Unless one use
something to keep the wires in place
when these tie -pieces are fastened on,
the fence wires will be drawn together
use piece of hardwood board, one
half by one inch, four feet long, with
fat piece of iron screwed to one side
of it. This stick has notches filed
three-eighths inches deep in the wood
and iron, to correspond with the
wires, so that when 1 place the stick
against the fence, one wire goes ina
each notch. My stick is four feet long,
and has notches cut in it every six
inches. Where wish my fence wires
to be tied together, place my notched
stick. and hang tie with hook on
the other side OF the fence from me,
and the lower end of the tie hanging
