PROPOSED STATE LEAGUE.
Winston May bs in the Six Club
Circuit.

From Raleigh comes the news that
an effort will be made to organize a
State league for next season. A meet
ing was to have been held in that city
last week for the purpose of organic
ing the Raleigh Baseball Association.
A gentleman well posted on the
game tells the Charlotte Observer:
There are several good ball towns in
the State, and Charlotte, Wilmington,
Raleigh. Winston, and Danville, Va.
can be numbered among the best, and
with enc other good town six club
circuit can be formed, which, with a
small salary limit and good manage
ment, should pull through the season.
Many of the cities have had no
teams for several seasons and there is
no doubt in the world that the people
are baseball hungry and will support
the teams of their respective cities.
The above seems to be the general
opinion of the baseball enthusiasts of
the city and all they need is some one
to take the initiatory step.

THAT MINE DISASTER.
Partial List Of the Men Entombed.-
A Great Loss

The following is a'partial list of the
men who are entombed in the Egypt
coal mine and doubtless all killed {:
Doe Thompson, L. FL. Holland, Joe
Smalls, M. Bentleys, Ned Bentleys,
all of Pennsylvania; Jack Johnson and
Charles Johnson, If Moore county, N.
c., Will Jenkins, of Raleigh; and
Tom Monroe, G.. A. Andrews, Joe
White, M. H. Quinn, Jere Lambeth,
Gus Lambeth, Will Mcdonald,
Charles Poe, Will Baldwin, Wright
Tyson, G. l.. Poe, J. A. Gunter, James
Reeves, Lewis White, Joe Stark, and
George Monroe, of Cumnock.
The Cumnock mines are 125 miles
from Wilmington and forty miles
from Raleigh, and are owned by
Messrs. S. P. Langdon and Samuel r.
Henszey, formerly of Philadelphia.
Both Of them reside at the mine.
More than 100000 in machinery
was put in during the past year, and
the mine was being regularly worked,
with an output OF $50 tons Of bitumi-
nous coal per day. Extensive coal
chutes for handling the coal of this
mine for export and tidewater supply
were erected last summer at the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley railway ter
minus on Point Peter Wilmington.
The company has recently COM
menced coaling ocean steamers at the
chutes here. They also have a con-
tract to furnish coal for the locomo-
tives Of the Seabord Air Line rail-
way, and do an extensive business in
cities in this and other States.
The accident yesterday is the first
serious one that has ever occurred at
the mine.
LATEST NEWS FROM THE DIS sTrp
Reports as to the amount of dyna-
mite in the mine conflict. Some OF
the miners say there were five cases,
or 25O pounds, in the mine, while the
superintendent thinks there were
only fifty pounds of the explosive
there. The theory of the cause of the
catastrophe generally held Is, that
the first explosion was Of coal gas,
that then the dynamite exploded, and
after this came the sitting latter
damp" that suffocated all who re-
manned alive.
While the work of rescue was going
on the mouth of the shaft was sur
rounded by a large crowd of people.
On one hand was an old mother whose
husband and sons were buried in the
bowels of the earth. Near by stood
young wife with baby in her arms.
Brothers, sisters and relatives from
far and near stood around weeping
and wailing. Yesterday morning
when the bodies were brought to the
surface several were recognizable.
The negroes rould not be distinguished
from the white miners, all being
covered with sOoty coat of coal and
many having the face and eyes burned
out. The miners who escaped alive
tell thrilling tales. One man, Jos.
Smith, had reached the foot of the
main shaft when he thought of his
son, who was in the division where
the explosion occurred. He rushed
back into the darkness to where the
gas wss burning, snatched up his son
who had fallen into a stupor and
carried him to the foot of the shaft.
Both were BADLY burned but they will
live.

Rev. Mr.. Grissom Explains About the

Mr.. Grisson, one of the owners of
the Advocate, makes the following
explanatory
Conference wanted to appoint the
editors OF the paper and fix their COM
pensation, this compensation to be
paid by the owners and the editors to
be installed whether agreeable or not
to Messrs. Grissom & Groom. 1t should
be remembered, however, that confer
ence has no monetary interest in the
paper, whatever. and this encroach-
ment was naturally objected to by Mr..
Grissom, and then it was he said be-
fore he would submit to it he would
sell to the conference his stock at par
and head subscription list with 81 200
towards buying it.
AS result OF it all a committee was
appointed to confer with a similar
committee from the Western Confer
ence next year and see what could be
done. In the meantime, without a
dissenting voice, the Bishop was re-
quested to appoint Mr.. Grissom editor,
which was done.
With any other body this attempted
action would be characterized as a
thigh handed ceeding'-trying to
control mah's private property with
out any compensation whatever. Un-
der the circumstances conference
might. in some degree, dictate the
policy Of the paper, but this is as far
as they could possibly go.

THERE'S WAR In THE AIR
THE MONROE DOCTRINE MUST
AND WILL BE UPHELD.
The President Sends O Vigorous Spe-
cfaI Message to Congress Touching
England's Proposed Encroach-
ment Upon Venezuela

ment Upon Venezuela.
The President on the II, sent mes
sage to Congress relating to the
| Venezuelan question, and appending
| the answer of Great Britain, which
says the Monroe doctrine is inappli-
cable to the state of things in which
We live at the present day and espe-
cially inapplicable to the controver-
sy involved in the boundary line
between Great Britain and Venezuela.
Cleveland continues without attempt
ing an extended argument in reply to
these positions that the Doctrine,
upon which he stands, is strong and
sound. Its enforcement is impo1 tant
to the peace and safety of the nation
and is essential to the integrity of our
free institution and the tranquil
maintenance of our distinctive form
of government. The Monroe doctrine
cannot become obsolete while our Re-
public endures; therefore we may
properly insist upon this doctrine
without regard to the state Of things
in which we live, or any change of
condition here or elsewhere.
Mr.. Cleveland says that nothing re-
HALLS OuU VI dCCGpU Uu0 SlUudUlOQ ana
deal with it accordingly. The United
States should carefully investigate any
dispute and posecute thorough ex-
animation. He suggests that Con-
gress make an adequate appropriation
for the expenses Of a commission to be
appointed by him.
TIE President concludes his special
message as follows:
When such report is made and &C.
cepted, it will, in my opinion, be the
duty of the United States to resist, by
every means in its power, as a wilful
aggression upon it's rights and inter-
ests, the appropriation by Great
Britain Of any lands, or the exercise
of governmental Jurisdiction over any
territory which, after Investigation,
we have determined Of right belong
to Venezuela.
In making these recommendations,I
am fully alive to the responsibility
incurred, and keenly realize all the
consequences that may follow, I am,
nevertheless, firm In my conviction
that while it is grievous thing to
contemplate the great English-speak-
ing peoples Of the world as being
otherwise than friendly competitors
in the onward march of civilization,
and strenuous and worthy rivals in ali
arts of peace, there is no calamity
which a great nation can invite
which equals that which follows a
supine submission to wrong and in
justice, and the consequent loss of
national self-respect and honor, be-
meath which are shielded and defend
ed peoples safety and greatness.

Postmasters and Samples by Mail.

The Commissioner has received,
through the Postotfice Department,
communication from the postmaster
OF one OF the large cities, in which he
asks If he is justified in holding a
quantity of samples of tobacco,
mailed by a tobacco manufacturer to
various points throughout the coun-
try, on account of the absence Of the
internal revenue stamps. Reply has
been made TO the postal officials that
the absence Of an internal revenue
stamp from any package of tobacco is
prima facie evidence that the tax has
not been paid, and that it is an
established ruling of the internal
revenue office that any postmaster
will be justified in his action in re-
fusing to accept unstamped packages
to be transmitted through the mails.

LOOKS LIKE NO RECESS
! THE HOUSE READY TO MEET A
PUBLIC EMERGENCY.
The Ways and Means Committee b..
gins the Work of Framing a Bill
Designed to Meet the Require
msnts of the Treasury,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-Congress
has for the second time during the
| secend week of the session, and on the
eve of its holiday recess, listened to
President Cleveland's appeal for the
unfolding of the honor and integrity
of the American nation. It has sacri-
feed personal convenience for the
public good, and both Houses are to
remain In session indefinitely for the
purpose of enacting legislation to
effect the solvency of the Treasury.
In response to the urgent appeal of
! the President, based on the statement
! that the financial situation is critical,
| the House, under the guiding hand Of
Speaker Reed, pigeonholed the reso-
| luton providing for adjournment
mittee on Ways and Means at once
set themselves to the task of franz
ing a bill that is hoped will
receive the support of a majority of
| the members of the House, and de-
signed for the purpose of putting into
the treasury the much needed gold for
| the maintenance Of the reserve fund.
The Ways and Means Committee held
brief and informal session today, but
,
the basis OF the proposed legislation.
Judging from the views held by the
leading Republicans, however, it is
thought that the new measure will
provide for the raising by tariff
legislation Of the revenue which the
Republican party claims is necessary
for the payment of the current obi
cations of the Treasury. attaching to
it prOvisO giving the Secretary of
the Treasury authority to sell long
time, low interest bearing bonds for
the purpose Of obtaining gold. The
House will meet again on Monday,
and some of the leading Republicans
are sanguine that even in the short
time intervening Chairman Dingley
and his colleagues Of the Ways and
Means Committee may be able TO
bring in bill, and if they succeed in
this the Speaker and his newly
appointed lieutenants on the floor
will prepare program of action that
will call for suspension of the House
! rules and the passage of the bill by
unanimous consent, with only such
time for debate as is necessary to
make its provision thoroughly known.
The bill will then be sent to the
Senate and what will happen there no
man can tell.

Latest Intelligence from the Mine
Disaster at Cumnock

Harry Fink and Ed. Swigert, miners
in the coal mines at Cumnock, passed
through Raleigh Saturday on their
way home to Pennsylvania, with the
bodies OF Covey and McKoy, two Penn
sylvanians killed by uthe: explosion.
They said search for other dead bodies
had ceased, as it is positively known
that only thirty-nine men were killed
and that all the bodies have been
found. 1t is now positively known
that the explosion was due to fire
damp, as the dynamite did not ex-
plode, but has been found intact. The
superintendent says If it had exploded
not a man in the mine would have
escaped. The depth of the Cumnock
coal mines is 554 feet. The longest
slope is 1,3Q0 feet, and is at an angle
Of 10 degrees.
