In regard to the petitions that have been
received in behalf of the Cubans. Mr.. Nor
gan referred to the great volume of these
requests that have poured in from all parts
OF the country. Mr.. Hale took exceptions
to them, saying that they were formalit:es,
being mere signatures on printed blanks,
that did not indicate any real outburst of
sentiment, but reflected credit rather on
the enterprise of the Cuban agents in this
country, who have sent them out in all d.
rectioIs. Mr.. Morgan refuted this state
ment and exhibited a bundle of these
papers, sending them across the chamber
to Mr.. Hale. to let him see that there were
few, If any. of them produced in that fash
ion.
THE Senator can investigate" said he.
to see whether or not anybody has been
putting up fraud on the Senate and
House in this manner
Mr.. Frye suggested that it was just as
easy to get remonstrances signed in this
way as petitions and he asked Mr.. Hale II
he had heard of any remonstrances being
presented against the recognition of Cuban q
belligerent rights
Mr.. Hale answered that he had received
hundreds of letters from business men all
over the country"
Mr.. Frye protested that he was not talk
Ing about letters. but Mr.. Hale insisted
that they had more effect than "cut and
dried petitions
Mr.. MOrgnn's Criticism.
After Mr.. Frye had urged that there had
not been single remonstrance on the SUBJ
ject to either house. Mr.. Morgan expressed
himself very emphatically on the subject
OF the evil custom of the men who are
called business men, who own estates and
property, setting themselves up against
Congress and the public sentiment of the
people. widely. universally and sincerely
expressed, IN private communications to
Congress for the purpose of keeping down
any legislation that might cost them a Et-
tie money or little disturbance of their
peace or their business relations. Men who
seek privately, he went on, to influence
senatorial action, and are not willing to
come out openly with their public protests
and memorials and avow what they pro-
pose to have the Senate do, are not much
in the way of an enemy when the Amer-
can people happen to have one.
The debate closed shortly after 5 O'clock
with Senator Morgan still on the floor, and
the Senate adjourned.

Troubles at Bay City,
Michigan Has Another Heavy Storm.


A terrible storm of wind, rain and
lightning which had some of the char
acteristics as a cyclone struck the
southern portion of the state. At De-
troit trees, chimneys, signs, wagons
and people were tossed about like toys,
street cars traffic was badly crippled,
but only one person was injured very
severely-by lightning. Reports from
Galesburg say grain was greatly dam
aged by being beaten to the earth.
Three houses and the opera house at
Crosswell suffered from lightning, but
not seriously. ID. r. Evans house at
Worthwhile was struck by lightning;
several cows on the Thompson farm
were killed and the hired man consid-
erably injured. Wilson's hardware
store was considerably wrecked ut Mt.
Morris. Edward II. McGoldrich, aged
%, of Galesburg, was killed by light
ming on a farm while taking refuge
under tree; his horse was also killed.

stroyed by lightning with loss of

THE FOUR QUARTERS
NEWS OF INTEREST FROM ALL
OVER THE GLOBE.
Ninety Miners Imprisoned In a Mine by "a
Cavern, Without Any Hopes of Their
Rescue Aliye-Washington County Wis.,
tied by IA Cloudburst.
Ninety Miners Buried Alive.


While 90 miners were at work in the
Red Ash vein of the Twin shaft, at
Pittston, Pa, the roof caved in, and it
is believed that all of the men persisted.
About 40 of the imprisoned men were
English-speaking miners, the others
foreigners. The men were at work
propping up the roof when the fall oc-
Cured. The alarm was Immediately
given, and rescuers were put to work
without delay, but after II hours work
not single body had been found. At
that hour all hope of finding any per-
son alive had been abandoned. Supt.
Lathrop, of the Lehigh Valley Coal
Co., who is authority, says it will be 10
days before the bodies are reached.
Later-After 60 hours hard work it
is almost a settled fact that of the small
army of men who are entombed in
the Inflated Twin shaft at Pittston not
one survives. Not only is every APP
proach to their dark tomb barricaded
by enormous masses of rock and debris,
is a large quantity of water which in
creases in volume every minute. Thus
the chances of recovering their bodies
are more remote than ever Promi-
nent officials say that weeks or months
may be consumed in clearing away the
fallen coal in order to reach the bodies
of the victims.

Ohio Democrats Declare for silver and
Boom John X. Mclean for President.
The state convention of the Demo
Gratis of Ohio resulted in new presi-
Dental banner being flung to the politi-
ton was silver. On that Issue all the
nominations were based. Neither the
temporary nor the permanent chair
man nor any others referred to any
thing else in their speeches and the
platform covers only that one issue.
Gen. A. j. Warner presided. The fol-
lowing nominations were made: Secre-
tary of state, Chiffon A. White; judge
of the supreme court, f.. j. Blandin;
dairy and food commissioner, Patrick
McKeown: member of board OF public
works, William Beaumont.
Ex-Gov. Campbell has been the IA
vorite of Buckeye Democrats for the
presidential race until the silver wave
struck and on this question he was fol-
lowing the gold standard doctrine too
closely. Therefore the name of John
X. Mclean was presented as OHIO IS
choice and he received 61S votes out OF
673. The delegates-at-large are, John
r. Mclean, Allen w. Thurman, l.. f.
Holden, f. Il. Finley. Mclean is pro-
prietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer and
has been advocating free silver for
years in his paper. l.. +. Holden is
proprietor of the Morning Plain Dealer
and the Evening Post at Cleveland and
has also been a strong advocate of free
silver. +. Il. Finley, while in congress,
was an ardent silver man. Allen w.
Thurman, kept up a silver organization
in Ohio when that element was in the
minority at Democratic conventions.
He is son of the late Allen
e.. Thurman, who ran on the ticket
with President Cleveland in 1883.
Chilver A. White, who heads the ticket
for secretary of state, served in con-
gress during Lincoln's administration.

notify ex-Gov. Mckinley of his nomin
alton for the presidency left Cleveland
in a special train and were met at Can

tee organized in that city. In car
riages and tally-hos they were taken
to the Mckinley residence at the
head of big procession. When the
ex-governor appeared before the as
sembled thousands Senator Thurston,
us chairman of the committee, made
characteristic eloquent speech de
livering the official notification. The
crowd was enthusiastic and repeatedly
cheered the sentiments expressed.
When quiet was restored Major Nc
Kinley arose and delivered his reply,
accepting the nomination in words full
of patriotic fervor, pledging himself to
stand by the platform adopted by the
Republican party and declaring that
potection and reciprocity were needed
to make our county prosperous

New York Democrats,

One day sufficed for the Democratic
state convention at Syracuse, n. y.
The platform adopted declares that
the decline in the commercial value of
silver has brought about disparity
between that metal and gold which
can only be adjusted with the cooper
alton of other governments. Until an
international agreement can be reached
it declares for the maintenance of the
existing gold standard. 1t also reit-
crates the tariff for revenue only"
clause and indorses Clevelands
administration. A resolution express
ing sympathy with the insurgents in
Cuba was adopted. The delcgates-at-
large are as follows: David Il. Hill,
Roswell 7. Flower, Edward Murphy,
Jr.. Frederick Il. Coudert. Alternates-

A Whole Family Killed without Cause

The American three-masted schooner
Mabel Hooper, of RoclSlald, Me-,
brings news of fresh atrocities by the
Spanish troops in Cuba. Near Sagua,
province of Santa Clara, an American
named Gonzales owned tobacco
plantation, but failed to take his to-
bacco to the Spanish officer at Sagua
when ordered to do SO. He explained
that the Spaniards had taken all of his
horses SO he could not cart his crop
This was apparently satisfactory and
Gonzales was escorted home by body
of troops He was then told to take
his family into his house, and the
troops then built fires around it, The
family endeavored to escape but were
shot down as they came out. Gonzales,
his wife and four little ones were all
murdered.
