The pension bill, presented by the
Chicago delegation, was adopted as d
whole amid great cheering. The bill
which will now be presented to the
next congress provides for the payment
of a pension to all carriers who are in
jured in the service, and the retirement
of carriers on half pay after twenty
years service. The money is to be oh.
tanned by deducting per ceat from
the salaries of active carriers each

Cus o n by Fire In n Michigan Copper Mine
Thirty Men Supposed 10 be Lost--Only
Ore Poor Chance of Escape Through au
Abandoned IIecIa HIino shaft-Pathetio
Scenes at the Mouth OF tho Mine.
HoUGHToN, Mich, Sept AT 1890
o'clock this afternoon fire was discoy-
cred by timbermen in the thirty
seventh level of the Osceola copper
mine. The timbermen at once rushed
to the shaft and when brought TO the
surface in the big bucket gave the
alarm. Thirty miners were at work
at the time, and up to a late hour to-
night but one person had beon res
cued, pump boy, and he died shortly
after reaching the open air.
The blaze on the thirty-seventh level
is 2, 900 feet below the earth's surface.
The underground workings are heavily
timbered with pine and as the fire
spread 1t generated great quantities OF
carbonic acid gas. which sank to the
lower level, so that death from suffo-
cation is as certain to all in the level
below the thirty-seventh as to those
above.
Smoke is pouring in dense volumes
from the mouth of every shaft in the
mine, and escape through those open
ings is impossible. The fire is evil
IDENTIFY gaining very rapidly.
The only hope for the thirty i'm
prisoned men to effect their escape is
through an old drift which opens at
about the fifteenth level into the south
Hecla branch of the famous Calumet
and Hecla mine, but that drift was
abandoned years ago, and doubtless is
choked up with decayed timber. But
it is the only possible avenue of es-
cape, and the hopes of the miners
friends cling desperately to it.
Gathered about the shafts of the Os-
ceola are the wives, mothers and chill
dren of the unfortunate men, anx-
iously awaiting further news from
their loved ones The scenes are very
pathetic, but beyong the doubtful as
surance that the men may have found
the abandoned Hecla drift, little COM
fort can be extended. Every effort is
being put forth to rescue the unfor-
tunate men, but hope is not high.
The Osceola is, next to the Tam
arack, the chief copper producer in the
Clark Bigelow group. It has been in
continuous operation since 1888, and
paid average dividends of $4,000 an
nually.
Upwards of 200 men were at work in
the levels Of the mine when the fire
started. Many of these were taken to
the main shaft and brought to the
surface in the great buckets in a faint
ing condition. 1t is now utterly i'm
possible TO quench the fire by the
usual methods and prepare ations are
being made to close the mouths Of the
shafts to shut off the air. The side
shaft leading to the thirty seventh
level is hermetically sealed, but the
other shafts will not be closed so long
as hope remains 1t is believed it will
take month to extinguish the flames.
This is thought to be the worst disas-
ter in point of loss Of life in the cop
per mining history of Michigan

The Gold Reserve Is Low, but No Alarm Is
Felt by Officials.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA telegram
received at the treasury department
states that 81, 600, 900 in gold had been
withdrawn for export from the sub
treasury at New York. Slight gains,
however, were made at Chicago and
other points, aggregating s1S6,00o, so
the true amount of the reserve at the
close of business was sos, 513, SEQ. The
cash balance was S1S1, SIT. 16s.
The treasury officials maintain their
usual reciticence on the subject, but
there is no doubt that they were sone<
what disappointed and surprised that
the syndicate permitted the business
day to close without making any de-
posit. From the first the officials have
confidently believed 500, 600, 900 was
the lowest point the syndicate would
permit the reserve to reach, and hence
their inaction at this time is not under
stood

That the Corn Crot viii BE Enofmous.
NEW YORK, Sept. ?.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade saws:
There is no real reaction in business.
Gains which were recognized as tenn
porary are vanishing, but there re.
mains decided increase over last year
at date, although prices average g. 8 per
cent. lower than year ago. It needs
no keen observer to see that the reac-
tion against rapid advance in prices is
strong. Hides were the first to rise,
but decided break has come Wheat
jumped over 20 cents to 81 cents, but is
now slow of sale at about d5 cents
Wool was late in rising, but has
lost about q cent in average
price within the past fortnight
Iron still rises, the strike having
hindered shipments of ore, but with
troops guarding the ore begins to
move. Cotton is strong, but has
paused. The general tendency to cur
tail purchases where prices have
notably advanced grows clearer in
boots and shoes, In wool and in some
products of iron.
The brightest feature in all the hori-
zon is the certainty that the crop of
corn will be enormous. Frosts now
can only affect a small fraction, and
the surplus will go into the manufac-
ture of meats, because at S5.7 cents at
New York, nearly cents lower than a
week ago, there is no other profit
able use for corn. The latest
reports of wheat threshing have
induced the best western judges
to raise their estimate of the yield over
10000, 900 bushels, and with $50, 600, 900
bushels added to 100000 bushels
brought over, the supply will exceed
all probable demands. Atlantic ex-
ports have been only t,347, 352 bushels,
flour included, against 2,799 $50 last
year. Pacific shipments continuing
large.

tied by cloudburst shortly after
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Rain fell
at intervals all the afternoon, culmi-

known in twenty years. Water came
down in streams. The rain was accom-
panied by terrific electrical display,
and by high wind, which did great
damage. The First M. E. church
and several private residences were
damaged by water. On Main street,
for half block, on each side of the
Willow branch, several business build
ings were flooded. In all the low lying
districts the occupants were driven

were flooded, and the loss from this
will be heavy. No fatalities are re-
