WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Interest in the
currency problem was revived to-day, when
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, introduced in
the Senate the compromise bill originally
outlined in these dispatches. Mr.. Jones had
asserted only day two ago that he
would never introduce his bill until he had
received assurances from the White House
that his bill, IL passed, would be welcome
at the White House. Day after day has Mr..
Jones sat in Secretary Carlisle's office wait.

PRODUCTION of the bill was taken by many
meaning that Mr.. Cleveland had spoken
at last and that he had finally surrendered
to the demands of the silver men as ex-
pressed in the Jones bill Any such infer
ence, it can be definitely stated, is prema-
ture. Indeed, it is said. that to Senator
Ransom, who yesterday sought some eN-
preston from the President Mr. Cleveland
frankly announced that he was as firm in
his opposition to the demands of the silver
men as ever before. The Jones bill. which
was originally hailed with so much enthus-
fasm as the solution of the currency prob
lem, consequently, deserves no more consid-
Grafton at this late day than If it had been
introduced by Mr.. Peffer or even Mr.. Vest.
An interesting solution of the problem
Will De OIIeF6u next WeSh MI. AiilSou VIII
introduce a bill providing for the issue of
fifty million dollars in exchequer notes.
These notes are to bear per cent or. If
possible, only 2i5 per cent. interest and are
to run for brief period five years at the
utmost. They are to be issued by the treas
ury as currency, attempt to float the
issue as bond issue being contemplated.
Mr. Allison intends only to meet the pres
ent difficulty of the treasury and to avoid
in so doing the objections that are raised
by the opponents of bonds and national
banks He argues that the fifty millions
thus obtained will carry the treasury along
until about April, by which time Mr.. Car
Isle insists the revenues frora the tariff
bill will be amply sufficient to meet the
expenditures of the government. In Offer
ing this expedient, Mr.. Allison gives as the
reasons for its temporary nature the ac-
knowledged fact that none OF the bills IN
troduced iii the Senate. from the Vest ab-
s,lrdity even to the Sherman measure, has
any chance of passage, while the condition
of the treasury makes some reEe impera-
tive. The gold reserve in a few days Will
be dangerously near the sixty NJ. ion mark,
which has heretofore resulted u. the issue
of bonds while atsthe same time the treas
ury authorities do not now feel their former
confidence in being able to float another
bond issue at figures which the government
can accept Mr.. Aldrich is cordially III

FIVE MINERS KILLED.
Fatal Explosion of Gas and Powder
In q kentucky COIliery.

STURGIS, KY, Jan. 23.-About 11;N
o'clock last night an explosion occurred
at the mines of the Tradewater Coal Com
pany. Five men were killed. The names of
the dead are: Albert Hall, James Wal
ton, James Coffee, Robert Hail and Miles
Fitzsimmons. The bodies were recovered
this morning. The damage to the mine
property will be 81 900. All the dead men,
save one, have families.
The explosion SO great that it cracked
the roof of the mine near the entrance. Two
mules were also killed. Not a, few miners
think the explosion was caused by dust bat
the general opinion is that the gas, which
accumula led in the rooms while the mines
were abandoned, was rushed forward by the
falling of heavy slate into the main open
ing and there ignited by tho lamps of the
miners. Three kegs of powder, one OF which
was open, were found in the mine, the two
unopened kegs being exploded, and the one
exposed being untouched.
