Need Food and CIothes.


In the Hooking and Sunday Greek
valleys of the Ohio, where pros
perity and happiness once held sway,
backed by healthy industry and good fell
iowship, ut least 10000 miners and their
families are now destitute and dependent
entirely upon charity, and their condition
is SO serious that starvation must come
to some ere relief can reach them. Hun
ger and sorrow and suffering have taken
the places of wealth, happiness and
health. The miners troubles began about
year ago. There was some difficulty
with the mine Operators regarding wages
and the workmen struck. The strike con-
tinued for weeks and months, until all the
savings of the miners and the unions were
exhausted. During the last part of May
the difficulty was settled and the miners
returned to work, the operators agreeing
to pay 60 cents ton to miners in Ohio
and 65 cents in Pennsylvania. Presently
the operators of Pennsylvania violated
this part of the agreement and refused to
pay more than 55 cents ton. This gave
them chance to underbid the Ohio op-
orators and work began to be slack in
Ohio.
Things went from bad to worse in the
Hooking and Sunday Greek valleys. The
miners had been in the custom of receiv.
ing their pay in the form of "scrip'' good
for purchases at the company's stores.

to give up the cares Of Office was reached
some weeks ago, the chief reason there
for being Mr.. Bissell's unwillingness to
sacrifice more time and money for the
honor of holding seat i'm the cabinet. He
has been influenced to large extent by
the discovery that considerable share
of the law business of the firm in Buffalo
of which he is still member is drifting
into other hands, and Mr.. Bissell thinks
ii time for him TO return home for the
purpose of looking after his own inter
ests. He is not by any means a wealthy
man, and his expenditures in Washing
ton have amounted to at least three times
his salary as a cabinet officer, more than
swallowing up his salary and his private
income together.

Uncle Sam Must Do It.
But since that time the sentiment for
Hawaiian cable has waxed strong, the
stirring events in Hawaii during the last
two years having illustrated the necessity
for quick communication. Clear-headed
statesmen in Washington now agree in
urging and advocating an American-Ha-
waiian cable. and the conviction grows
steadily that il must come without delay.
And since the reciprocity treaty with Ha-
waii prevents the Hawaiian Government
from granting a cable lease or concession
to any other power, the only way out OF
it is for us to lay the cable ourselves, just
as Great Britain laid a military cable
few years ago along our eastern sea-
board, from Bermuda to Halifax, for the
advancement of her own interests, al
though incorporating 1t under the quasi
private title of the Halifax and Bermuda
Cable Company. If we do not do it, either
rs Government or through individuals
with Government patronage, ii is almost
certain that British cable will be seen
to creep before long from the Fiji Islands
nortbeastward to Vancouver, British Co
lumbia, by way of Tanning Island, in
stead of Neckar. which the British failed
TO secure last summer, thanks to the vigi-
lance Of the Hawaiians, or lease by way
of Midway Island. or Ocean Island, or
Gardiner Island, all lying northwest from
the Hawaiian group.

MANY DIE in A MINE.
vWENTY-SIx KILLED IN A Los
CERRiLlOS, N. NJ, SHAFT.
Forty-two Miners Entombed by a
Fearful Gas Eek Exp1osion-Caught in a
Trap the workmen Are Blown to
pieces or Suffocated by Smoke.
Death Roll May Increase.


A frightful explosion of gas in the
White Ash coal mine, three miles south
east of Los Cerrillos, y. NJ, occurred at
IL o'clock Wednesday morning, and as u
result many homes in the valley are desc
late. Twenty-six miners are known to
have been killed, and eleven have been
taken out alive. But these are more or
less bruised or burned, and the death roll
may increase. This mine is the soft coal
producer of the valley and is operated by
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
way Company. From it all markets south
of the place, including the Southern Pa
cific and Mexican Central Railways, are
supplied. The output averages sixty cars
per day.
The mine has four levels, which branch
off from the inclined shaft, and the men
were at work scattered in all of them. The
fact that there is 3,4OO feet of working
and no air shaft accounts for the accumu-
lating of the gas, and for three hours
after the explosion the deadly vapOr pour
ed forth from the single entry in such
volume as to indicate that the mine had
caught fire. When this was announced
as probability the pitiful cries of both
men and women who had gathered around
the entry were heartrending. Frantic
wives, many of them carrying babies in
their arms, having children clinging to
their skirts, or to them, stood at the. EN-
trance of the mine for hours amid tears
and prayers, watching and waiting, while
hundreds of men vainly struggled to gain
an entrance further into the mine.
Usually 160 miners are employed in the
Ash shaft, but the day being Ash We'd
nesday there were. only forty-two men
inside at the time of the explosion. Five
of these made their way to the outside be-
fore the gas reached them. Some of the
bodies taken out were burned almost to a
cinder and others so badly mangled and
burned that recognition has been very
difficult. 1t is thought the explosion was
caused by the miners breaking through
into some old abandoned working, thus
liberating the gas that had accumulated
The mine was worked through a single in
cline of 30 degrees, and seems to have
been defective as respects ventilation.

BATTLE WITH BANK ROBBERS.
Council Bluffs Officers Have a Fight

Council Bluffs Officers Have Fight
with a Gang of Desperadoes.
For short time Monday evening the
business streets of Council Bluffs were
transformed into battlefield, and timid
people beat rapid retreat in their efforts
to seek places of safety. The fusillade
was caused by an attempt of Deputy
O'Brien and three other officers to arrest
three men suspected of robbing the bank
at Griswold, Iowa. O'Brien and one of
the alleged robbers were seriously and
perhaps fatally wounded, while motor
man was struck by glancing ball. Two
of the three men were captured, though
the third made good his escape.
During the afternoon the Council Bluffs
officers were notified of the robbery of the
National Bank at Griswold, Iowa, and as
result the men were on the lookout for
the suspects. Just after dusk as one of
the officers was patrolling his beat he no,
ticed man sitting in the Office of the Kiel
Hotel who answered the description tele-
graphed from Griswold. Deputy Sheriff
O'Brien was notified, and after taking a
look at the man he concluded that he was
one of the individuals who were wanted,
but not feeling like attacking bank rob,

Senute raNOTs At
The world has waited long for Pacific
cable, but there Is a good prospect that
1t will net have to wait much longer. The
recent petition of the Hawaiian republic
for permission to grant cable concession
or lease to British company, transmit
ted to congress by President Cleveland
with,u favorable Endorsement, has result
ed inuemphasizing two important facts-
first, the vigorous opposition of the Amer
ican people to n British cable. from Ha-
wall; and, second, their equally strong
desire for an American cable TO Hawau
from San Francisco. A Hawaiian cable
means a trans-Pacifc cable eventually,
for a southern link already exists from
Australia to the Fiji Islands, and its con-
tinuation to Hawaii and the extension
of the proposed American cable onward
to China and japan are bound logically
to follow soon, for commercial reasons.
The proposition engrafted by the Senate
on the diplomatic and consular BILL au-
thorizing the President to contract for the
laying of an American cable TO Hawaii,
and appropriating 100000 as a begin
ming, probably cannot be deferred be-
yond the next Congress at the farthest.
The present cost of ocean cables is
about 200 per lineal mile, for making
and laying, and according to the Govern.
ment survey of 1891 by the photographic
Office of the Navy Department-the best
Hawaiian cable route ascertained-that
one lying within favorable natural lane
800 miles wide, with oozy bottom, from
Salinas Landing, in Monterey Bay, Cali
fornia, to Honolulu-covers distance of
-2,107 miles by plumb line. Hence at that
rate the cost of making and laying the
Hawaiian cable would be 50, ,52S, 400; and,

rrnenf concessions franchises and unfore-

The first inkling they had was Jan. 8
when delegation from the Hooking Val
ley Trades Assembly called on Gov. Nc.
Kinley and stated to him the facts of the
case, and asked for aid.
A Generous Response.
Gov. Mckinley Immediately ordered a
carload of provisions sent to Nelsonville,
the Columbus Board of Trade assuming
the expense. Carload after carload of
supplies has since been sent to the suf-
ferers in response to urgent requests, un-
til to-day the number of loads is nearly
q score.
The present indications are that ii will
be necessary to send several carloads of
provisions into the valley every week for
not less than three months, and possibly
longer. 1t was the first intention of Gov.
Mckinley to issue general appeal to the
people of the State for contributions. He
decided, however, not to do so at once, but
TO call on the various cities in turn as
long as possible. and then to issue gen.
eral appeal if it should become necessary.
His idea In this method of procedure was
to preclude the possibility of there being
a great food of contributions sent into
the valleys, which might encourage waste
and exhaust the supply before the time of
aeed had passed.
The capital city, as before stated, was
the first to respond. Then Cincinnati
was called upon by the Governor, and the
Chamber of Commerce of that city sent
seven carloads to the sufferers. John Nc

Der single-handed and alone, he called to
his assistance Deputy Sheriff Hooker,
and in company with Officers Peterson
and Ware the party entered the hotel Office
and invited the suspected man to take a
walk.
AS the fiye men left the hotel two 9TH
ers, who had been sitting near, arose and
followed, keeping several yards behind.
The suspect was conducted toward the
county Jail and just as they reached the
steps of the court house Deputy O'Brien
dropped behind, telling his prisoner to
walk in front. AS he did this the two men
who had been following the party whip
ped out their revolvers and commenced
firing at the officers. This was the signal
for general encounter, and, pulling their
guns, the officers returned the fire, the
prisoner and the two strangers separating
from the officers and shooting as they ran.
For some minutes the fusillade was
kept up, citizens and other officers join
ing in the battle, which had become gen.
eral all along the line, until the despera-
does were overcome and two of them plac-
ed under arrest. They gave their names
as John Reilly and James Wilson. AS
soon as they were secure behind the bars
the officers started to look for the wound
ed, and in the search they discovered that
Deputy O'Brien was severely wounded,
a ball having struck him in the abdo-
men, entering the body and lodging near
the spine. Reilly was hit in the groin,
the ball penetrating some two inches.
The third man, who is supposed to have
been one of the robbers, escaped and fled.
In searching the men at the Jail their pock-
cts yielded a large number of postage
stamps and a quantity of small change.
A sack of nickels was also found which
they had evidently thrown away.
