yer coinage, and expectation that all
the elements favoring that policy may
yet be concentrated, incline them to
a waiting attitude. Their uncertainty
retards improvement, notwithstand-

that the monetary action at the st.

the people.
The weakness of wheat, which has
declined 10 cents, and of cotton,
which is an eighth lower for spots,
though less for futures, have full ex-
PLANTATION in decidedly good crop pros
poets. Returns OF harvesting thus
far support the best estimates as to
wheat and the condition of cotton has
been decidedly improved by rains.
1t isnot wholly a welcome but neces-
sary conclusion that prices for the
great staples are not likely to be
higher.

OF Over SsO,OOO,OOO.
WASHINGTON, June 29-The mineral
products of the United States for the
calendar year 1895 are reviewed at
length in the mineral sources report
of the United States geological sur
vey. The report, which was compiled
by Dr. David I. Day, chief of division,
shows the total value of the product is
S6ll 7O5, 900 This stands against a
production valuation of S527 ,36s. go for
1894. This is an increase of $50, 900, 900.
The value of the various mineral
products for the year were as
follows; Pig iron, 500. l9s, $50; silver,
S61, 66, 800; gold, Si7, 0Ou, coo; copper,
S3S, 6S2, $40; lead, Sl0'G6j, O4O; zinc,

nickel, S3,O9l; platinum, 5000; total,
S97O, 453, 979.
The report, in summarizing con-
ditions, says: The general increase is
a long step towards recovery from the
depression to which the mineral in

less than the greatest we have ever
known, which was over S64s, 900, 600 i'd

instead Of value received, 1895 is
greater. In other words, prices are

100 MINERS BURIED.

HAVE PERISHED.
They We're Making Repairs in a Mine
At PittstOn, Pa, when the Roof
cNVed in ON Them-Tha Work OF
Rescue

WH.KEsBARRE, Pa, June 2S. While
ninety miners were at work in the
Red Ash vein OF the Twin shaft at
Pittston about o'clock yesterday
morning, the roof eaVed in and 1T is
believed all of the men persisted.
About forty of the imprisoned men
were English-speaking miners, the
others foreigners.
Thirty PolGnders and Huns were en-
tombed, and it is thought the fetal
number OF bodies in the mine will
reach 100.
The men were at work propping up
the roof when the fall occurred. The
alarm was Immediately given by the
ringing of the fire bells, and rescuers
were put to work without delay. At
o'clock yesterday afternoon the first
bodies were found in the slope some
distance from the place where the
men had been working. More than
two-thirds of the victims were mar
ried men. Among them were Acting
Mayor Langan, who was inside super
intendent of the mine, and }. II. Ly-
mott, a ward councilman.
A conference of prominent mine
superintendents from all over tho
Wyoming valley was held last night
and the situation in the mine was dis
eussed. The conclusion was reached
that to prevent further loss of life the
work OF rescue must proceed with
care. 1t is also the unanimous belief
of the superintendent that the mine
is now tomb and that it will be some
days before the reScuers reach the
bodies.

The Kansas Senator Opposed to Popu-
lists IndOrsIng Amy Candidate.
WASHINGTON, June &C. - Senator
PETER of Kansas, who left for home
to-day, said concerning the Populist
attitude on the Presidential question:
"While the Democratic convention
doubtless will be for free silver, yet it
will not be expressive of those other
great questions OF land tenure and of
labor which the Populist party regards
as vital. had hoped that there
might be some Rmalgamation of Dem.
ocrats, Populists and silver men and
Others on a declaration of principles,
and. If need be, a new name But the
time for that has gone by, aud all that
remains is for the Populist party to
maintain its integrity by nominating
its own candidates on its own plat
form Concerning the Populist candi-
dates, personally favor the nomina-
tion of Governor Holcomb OF Nebraska
for the first place on the ticket, and I
had considered Nugent Of Texas as
the strongest man for second place up
to the time of his death Under the
circumstances, Tom Watson OF Georgia
is probably the most available man.
This combines the West and the South,
the two sections to which we look for
results"
