RAPID CITY, s. D, FRIDAY MARCH s. 1896
AN AWFUL MINE DISASTER.
Terrible Explosion I'm New Mexico
Colliery.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, March L.
from Cerrillos, was the scene of ter
rible explosion little before noon yes
terday. Thirty-seven men We're work
ing in four levels when the disaster
occurred. Up to 10 p. m. twenty five
bodies had been taken out horribly
burned and matilated and difficult of
Identification. One of the rescued,
John Stupes, says that when he heard
the explosion himself and five COM
rades started for the main slope, but
could not get out and retreated back
into the mine to a pool of water,
where they immersed themselves, and
by agitating the water managed to
get air enough to live on for the four
hours of their confinement, but when
the resculng party reached them
they were in the last stages of
asphyxiation.
Owing to the smoke, dust and nox-
ious vapor that filed every approach
to the workings two hours elapsed
before any progress could be made
toward effecting rescue, and the
efforts were cruelty rewarded, for up
to Z o'clock but one miner had been
reached His dead body was found
near the entrance. Three hours later
the rescuers succeeded in reaching
the left fourth level and the dead
bodies of several men were brought
out The sight about the mine was
heart-rending in the extreme. Fran
tic wives, many Of them carrying
babies in their arms, having children
clinging to their skirts or to them,
stood at the entrance of the mine for
hours, amid tears and prayers, watch
ing and waiting, while hundreds of
men vainly struggled to gain an en-
trance further into the mine.
1t is thought the explosion was
caused by the miners breaking
through into some old abandoned
work, thus liberating the gas that
had accumulated The mine was
worked through single incline shaft
extending 5000 feet in at an incline
of thirty degrees, and seems to have
been defective as respects ventilation.
The mouth of the shaft is the sole
means of egress. Nobody seems to
know just how many men went into
the shaft in the morning. Ordinarily
150 men are employed, but it is said
scarcely half the usual quota of men
were at work. Represe n tative Lead
en-, lately employed there, says he is
confident that not less than eighty
five men must have been in the work
ings at the time Of the explosion.

AMENDMENTS OBJECTED TO.
House and Senate May Be Deadlocked
Over the Sugar Bounties Provisions.

House and Senate May Be Deadlocked
Over the Sugar Bounties Provisions.
WASHINGTON, March Much dis
satisfaction is expressed by members
of the appropriations committee of
the house over the amendments added
to the sundry civil bill by the senate.
Particular dissatisfaction is mani
tested against the sugar bounty pro-
vision since the house has already
voted upon the question in different
ways and always signified it's oppo-
sition. That it will do so again is
not doubted by the Democrats and
there may be a serious difference
over the question.
Another ma atter that troubles mem
bers of the house is the number of
public buildings for which appropria-
tions have been added to the sundry
civil bill. The Democrats of the
committee will make fight against
these additions and the members
whose items originally received the
committees sanction are fearful that
the buildings for their own districts
may be endangered by the additions
and that complications will be brought
about which will threaten the success
of all the building provisi ons.

AGAINST HYPNoTIsM.
yhe Missouri House Passes Bill Pro-
hitting It's Practice.

Hhe Miss Ourl House Passes q Bill Pro.
hitting It's Practice.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. March 1. One
of the livliest debates of the session
was held in the house this morning
over the bill introduced by Mr.. Da-
wilson of Marion prohibiting the
abuse Of nesmerism and hypnotism.
The bill was finally engrossed with
an amendment providing that the
legitimate teaching of hypnotism in
medical institutions might not be in
terfered with.
The opponents Of the fellow SER
want bill scored another victory in
the house by preventing it's engross-
ment.
When Speaker Russell called the
house to order g quorum was not
present, but business was disposed Of
rapidly, bills being read by their in
PRODUCERS and ordered to engross-
ment without explanation or debate.
Members who were disposed to pro-
test against such methods were over
ruled by those who mad bills on the
calendar. The session is SO near an
end that only in this way can the
house calendar ever be cleared.
The house killed DR.. Tubbs' bill re-
ducing passenger fares on main lines
to two and one-half cents per mile and
on branch lines to three and one half
cents per mile.
The bill creating commission of
three to be appointed by the governor
to settle the boundary line dispute be-
tween Missouri and Iowa has passed
both houses. and now only awaits
the governors signature to become a
law.
The senate has now considered and
reported favorably from the commit
tee of the whole every appropriation
bill passed by the house. To-day it
reported the bills for the pay of the
civil officers and for appropriating
one-third Of all the revenues for the
school fund. 1t also passed the bills
appropriating money for the payment
of interest on the bonded debt; and
| the redemption of state bonds and
| for the school fund. This clears up
all the appropriation bills of any con-
sequence, save the one approprlating
money for the university and other
institutions.

Late Washington News
of General Interest.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Mr. Gal
linger briefly addressed the senate at
the opening Of the session to-day in
favor of plan presented by the
Daughters of the Revolution that q
copy of the declaration of Independ-
ence be conspicuously displayed in
every postoffice.
The deficiency appropriation bill
was reported by Mr.. Cockrell, leaving
only one blll-the understanding
before the appropriation committee.
Consideration of the sundry civil
bill was then resumed and Mr.. Petit
grew offered an amendment appro-
priating 100000 for seed for the
drought sufferers of the Northwest.
After short debate it was agreed to.
--33 to II.
Mr.. Bate of Tennessee urged an
amendment of $l25,OO for govern
ment participation in the Tennessee
state centennial in 1896, and sharp
debate ensued with Mr.. Hoar It was
agreed to-53 to Is.
Mr.. Stewart moved to reconsider
the amendment already adopted for
participation by the United States in
an international monetary confer
ence. He wanted to propose an
amendment instructing the United
States delegates not to agree to any
ratio below 16 to l.
Mr.. Wolcott said that he greatly
regretted this division of opinion
among senators from the silver states
who had so long stood together. The
senator from Nevada, Stewart, de-
clared this was scheme of the gold
bugs, Was he forgetting the gallant
fight of the friends of silver the world
over which had just eliminated in sue
cess before the British parliament and
German reichstag in favor of an inter-
national conferences? France, too.
was taking the initiative Success
was almost at hand. 1t was the work
of the friends of silver throughout
the world. Were the friends of silver
to pause at such Q moment of success?
The senator declared himself for
tions of the world united in Offering
the greatest advantage to silver It
had received since it's demone etization
it would be criminal to cast it aside.
Mr.. Stewart again denounced the
proposed conference as "a trade with
our oppressors." Whatever others
might do he would never consent to
such scheme.
The Stewart motion to reconsider
was defeated. year 8, nays SO. The
affirmative vote was as follows: AL

Martin, PETER, Pugh and Stewart.
The negative vote included many
leading silver men, such as Teller,
Jones of Arkansas, George, Wolcott,
Cameron and others.
At 1925 o'clock the sundry civil bill
passed, Stewart alone voting in the
negative. Cockrell, German and Alli-
son were appointed as conferees and

SENATOR BAKERS PLATFORM
The New Kansas Statesman Declares for
American Silver and Reciprocity.

American silver ana RECIPROCITY.
WASHINGTON, March 1. Lucien
Baker, the new senator elect from
Kansas, was on the floor of the sem
ate for the first time and was intro
duced to his associates by Mr.. Martin
whom he succeeds.
Mr.. Baker said later of the money
question: I'm common with the vast
majority of my people, ! believe in
the enlarged used of silver and the
monopolization of the American
product Of the metal. Some thing is
radically wrong with the country.
The repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act did not bring the
promised relief, nor is there any pros
pect of prosperity as a result of
Democratic tariff tinlzering. On the
tariff, it seems to me sound poll
icy to admit free those articles
that we can't raise or make in this
country, but if anybody wants to
bring in articles that we do produce
or manufacture, let them pay for the
privilege. Then there is no doubt of
the advantages of reciprocity, and
that policy, so ably eXpounded by Mr.
Blaine, should be fostered and devel-
oped. In addition to this, give silver
fair play and an equal chance and
there is no reason to doubt that the
United States will lead the world in
commercial activity. Honest men
will then be given an opportunity to
work and no American citizen will re-
main an involuntary tramp"

w. L. WILSON.

friends of Mr.. Wilson and to Mr..
Wilson himself. The selection is one
which the president made of his own
motion without any urging from
Mr.. Wilson's friends and largely in
recognition of the members services
in leading the tariff fight in the house.
No member has been on more intimate
terms with the president than the
chairman OF the ways and means COM
mittee and his speeches in the house
have always been understood to voice
the opinion of the administration. It
was noted yesterday that Mr.. Will
sons speech upon the amendment to
the postofice appropriation bill to
compel railway mail clerks to live at
the end of their route-perhaps the
last speech he will make as a con-
gresham, was an earnest plea to con-
gress to support the postmaster gen
eral.
No man in congress has greater
popularity among members of both
parties than Mr.. Wilson.
William l.. Wilson, the new post
master general, is best known to the
country in connection with his recent
tariff work in congress. He has been
tariff student since he first entered
congressional life in 1882, but it was
not until the present congress that he
became chairman of the ways and
means committee and as such the
official leader of the majority in the
house. Prior to his first cleo
tion to congress in 1882 he had
taken little part in politics, ex-
cept in being a delegate to the
Democratic national convention at
Cincinnati and subsequently an
elector at large in West Virginia.
Early in 1882 he was chosen president
of the university of West Virginia.
This would have fixed his sphere of
work had it not been for political
eruption and party split at his home
in Charleston, w. Va, which was
settled by the opposing factions unit
ing on him. He finally won by nine
votes. He was then reelected to
six successive CONGRESSES. He re-
ceived good committee assignments
from the first, going on the judiciary,
appropriations and ways and means.
His experience shortly after the war
as professor of law in Columbia col
lege equipped him for the work on
the judiciary committee. In the four
congressional eras of recent tariff
changes-the Morrison bill, the Mills
bill, the Mckinley bill and the Wilson
bill-he took leading part. He did
much of the work of constructing the
Mills bill and he and Repre-
sentative Breckenridge started on
successful tour of platform
speeches throughout the East, in
dorsing President Cleveland's tariff
revision message. During the Mills
Crisp contest for the speakership he
cast his lot with Mr.. Mills and when
Mr.. Crisp won he designated Mr..
Springer chairman of the ways and
means committee. When reelected
speaker, however, Mr.. Crisp named
Mr.. Wilson chairman of the ways and
means committee and in this capacity
he framed the measure which was the
basis of the present tariff law.
