MINERS ENTOMBED.
DISASTROUS CAVEIN ON BATTLE
MOUNTAIN, COLORADO.
Nine Men Caught and All Are Prob
ably Dcad-Work of Rescue
Is Slow.

Victor, Col, Jan. 5.-A terrible ac-
cident occurred Saturday at the Anna
Lee mine, OF the Portland company
on Battle mountain. Nine men were
caught in Il big cavern and four who
were in the cage when the ground
gave way are probably dead. Five
others who were in the mine are sup
posed to be dead. The names of the
miners working in the Lee shaft are
Superintendent Sheldon, Foreman
Lewis, Jack Maloy, Mike McGuirk,
Tom Maloy, Cosgroye, Paddy Nee,
Lund, Thomas Harmon.
Sheldon, Lund and Harmon were 60
ing down in the cage when the cave-in
occurred. They were in the cage be
tween the third and fourth levels
when the shaft pinched. 1t Is possible
they were thrown into one of the
drifts and are safe, but no tidings can
be had from them.
Work was begun Immediately and
great efforts were made to reach the
men. 1t Is doubtful, however If this
can be done in time to save them on
account of the general character of
the disaster. 1t is believed it will
take week or ten days to reach the
entombed miners. The cause of the
disaster cannot be definitely stated,
but 1t Is said that the timbers were
insufficient to sustain the great weight
to which they had been subjected,

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, Jan. 3 In the senate
John sherman made ~ speech on
finance, He began, by asserting that
while congress would support the pres
idvnt in maintaining the honor and
integrity of the country in the field
of diplomacy, II would not approve his
recommendation ON thNmurc Airport
ant subject of inancials policy, parttc-
uarly currency. The president was
mistaken in attributing our financial
difficulties to the demand for gold for
United States notes instead of the de-
iicieney in revenue caused by the logis-
lauou of the last congress. AS a
remedy the president proposed the CON
version of United States notes into
bonds including an interest bearing
debt OF about hve hundred millions,
causing Il sharp contraction of the cur
rcEcy. arresting the progress of every
American industry competing with for
cign productions. sherman presented
statistics showing that for the first
time since 1866 the country began 10

interest which would be readily taken
by the people through national banks,
sub-treasuries and postoffices. Con-
tinuing, the senator said: "As the
term lawfully includes gold coins,
there is disposition by banks to con-
vert heir United States notes into coin,
thus aiding in depicting the reserve.
This ought to be prevented by a pro-
vision of law that bank reserve of
lawful money shall be United States
notes or treasury notes only. The re-
DENTON fund is the safeguard of the
money of the people and its use for
any other purpose is a practical repud-
iation of public faith. Careful study
of the systems of banking, currency
and coinage adopted by the principal
nations of Europe Convinces me that
our system, when cured of a few de-
fects developed by time, founded on
bi-metalliC coinage of gold and silver,
maintained at par with each other
with a free national hank in every
city and town of Importance. issuing
their notes secured beyond doubt by
United States bonds or some equiva-
lent security, redeemable on demand
in United States notes and treasury
notes equal to the amount now out
standing with provisions for ratable
increase with increase in population,
always redeemable in coin in the
treasury and not to be invaded by de-
ticiencies in revenue, would make our
money current in commercial circles
in all climes, better than the best
that now exists in Europe, better than
that of Great Britain which now holds
the purse-strings of the world"
The senate passed with only six dis
senting votes the resolution against
the private sale of United States
bonds. There were lively tits be-
tween leading members of the two
great parties as to the contribution
of campaign funds by big eastern
banks.
In the house Friday Chairman Ding
ley of the ways and means committee
introduced a bill authorizing the pres
iient to conclude negotiations with
Great Britain, Russia and Japan for
the appointment of a joint commission
to investigate the questions affecting
the fur seal herd in the north Pacific
ocean and the Boring sea and consider
and report what further regulations
are necessary for it's presentations.

was poWerless to affect the currency

publican, gold increased from $2iG,-
100000 on April l, 1885, to $500 000,-

Wilson act Under the circumstances

redeemed should only be reissued for
gold coin and such reissues should be
mandatory when coin is deposited in
the treasury. With this provision
scarcity of currency would create such
demand that gold would be freely de-
posted in exchange for more conven-
lent United States notes. The redemp-
ton fund should be segregated from all
