IN DUBOIS INTEREST.
Fusion Between Silver Republi-
cans and Democrats Being
Talked of in Idaho.



Boise, Ida, Dec 26--It now seems
during the coming senatorial contest,
which will commence a week next
Monday, to effect a fusion between the
silver Republican and Democratic
members of the legislature in the in
terest of Dubois. 1t seems the ma
tional Democratic committee gave Du-
bois to understand that it's influence
would be lent in that direction, and for
the purpose of carrying out the plan,
Secretary Gardner, of the Democratic
congressional committee, recently visit
ed Idaho. There is no little opposition
among the Democratic leaders and
Democratic members of the legislature
to the plan, these holding that the
Democratic party must keep faith with
the Populists until they carry out to
the letter the convention contract to
assist in the election of a Populist to
succeed Dubois. other Democrats,
however, insist that the party in Idaho
should stand by the national organiza-
ton and help it to fulfill it's pledges; so
it would seem it was only a question as
to which compact shall be violated. If
such fusion should be made in the
legislature, it is the intention to carry
it on to the future politics of Idaho.
The question viii come up first on the
organization of the legislature, and
again on the contests to unseat silver
Republicans irSfavor 2opulists.

Sixteen Underground, and It Is
Thought Many Have Been Killed.

S14Ceou Underground, anu II Is
Thought Many Have Been Killed.
Princeton, Ind. Dec. pa terrific
explosion occurred in the coal mine
of Maule & Son, one mile from this
city, at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.
Sixteen men were in the mine at the
time of the accident.
The men, after a lay off of one day
on account of Christmas, went down
in the mine to clear up the debris of
a small explosion which occurred last
Sunday morning, which, however, did
little damage. Coal was discovered
in the Maule mine only year ago
and the mine has been in operation
less than nine months.
1t is believed the mine was not Suffi-
GENTLY provided with circulating fans
to remove the foul air. and from this
cause the explosion probably occurred.
The number of killed and injured is
not yet known.
At 1920 p. m. the rescuing party had
gotten two men out alive and the
groans of others could be heard.
Those known to have been in the
mine when the explosion occurred are:
Robert Maule, married, treasurer and
general superintendent of the Maule
Coal company.
James Turner, single.
Robert Peneylight, married.
David Nolan, married.
A Collegiate, married.
Will Cruise, single.
John Holmes, married.
James Riat, married.
Carl Poneylight, single of Belleville,
Ills.
William d. Grills, married.
Will Booker, married.
Frank Turbie, married.
Thomas Price, single.
When the disaster was made known
the mine officials sent word to every
man in their employ and in a short
time had them at the shaft ready to
descend, but their efforts were baked
by the great clouds of gas which
greeted them.
The big fan was Immediately put to
work land has been in operation five
hours.
The force of the explosion was ter
rible The mine officials are doing
everything IN their power to reach the
men.
The state mine inspector is expected
to arrive tomorrow morning and an
investigation will follow.
At 1130 the rescuing party recov-
cred David Nolan and James Turner,
who, it is believed. win live. 1t is now
thought that Manager Maule will be
brought out alive. The work is be-
ing pushed to the utmost and the men
hope to bring others TO the top before
morning
2 a. m.-Four men have been taken
out alive. among them Arthur Colgate
and a miner named Noble. Both are
badly injured. Colgate lives in Evans

IS A VERY SICK TAN.
Condition of Senator Warren, Who
Was Recently Operated Upon.
Especial to The Herald.)

Especial TO Inc Herald.)
Cheyenne, Dec. Estate Treasurer
Henry G.. Hay returned from Chicago
today, where he called upon Senator
Warren, who is lying i'll at the Auditor
ium. Mr.. Hay states that the senator is
still a very sick man, despite the reports
that he is improving. At the operation,
which was performed on Dec. H. the
surgeons found that the appendix was
too badly infiamed to permit of an ampu-
tation. Since then, the wound has been
kept open, and the sac is discharging
about pint of pus every "a hours. The
operation itself was successful. but there
is considerable danger of blood poisoning.
Mr.. Hay states the attending physicians
think that at the expiration of 20 days
the appendix will have shrivelled up and
the Inflammation will disappear. Mr. Hay
was very hopeful, but when asked if he
thought the senator would recover, shook
his head and said, He is a very sick
man."

Marshall, Mo-. Dec. ga man was
arrested at Gillian, near here yester-
day on suspicion of being one of the
gang who robbed an express car on
the Alton road at Blue Cut, Wednes-
day night. The man has plenty of
money but refuses to state how he Sc
cured it. He gives the name Tom Nc
Donald and claims to have come from
New York.
Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 26.-From the
known description of the Blue Cut rob-
bers little faith is placed in the claim
of the Saline county authorities that
Mcdonald is one of the robbers. The
work of 81 dozen detectives had proved
futile in getting a trace of the gang.
The trip to the Cracker Neck region to
arrest suspect was fruitless.

The Three Friends Case.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The only in
formation received by the treasury de
partment concerning the seizure at Key
West of the reported flibuster-
ing steamer Three Friends was
contained in a telegram from the col
lector of customs at that port stating
that the vessel was detained on sus-
picion. under the general instructions
circular issued by the department to
detain any vessel suspected of violat-
ing the neutrality laws.
The officials of the department tele-
graphed the collector of customs at
Fernandina, from which port she is
supposed to have sailed, when her de-
parture was reported in the news
papers, asking whether the vessel had
cleared properly. but up to o'clock.
when the inquiry was received no reply
had arrived. The report of the Three
Friends has been referred by the treas
ury department to the department of

SPANS CLAIM.
Said to Have Been Strengthened By
the Action of the Three Friends.

Said to Have Been Strengthened By
the Action of the Three Friends.
New York, Dec. ga Herald special
from Washington says:
SPANS clam for damages against
the United States, growing out of the
Cuban filibustering operations has
been strengthened by the conflict be-
tween the alleged filibustering steamer
Three Friends and a Spanish coast
guard vessel.
The Madrid government has long
commended, through its legation at
Washington, that the federal authori
ties have not used due diligence to
prevent the departure of filibustering
expeditions in aid of the Cuban in
surgents. This last voyage of the
Three Friends will be submitted as
the strongest evidence yet obtained in
support of the contention that the
United States government has not ex-
ercised proper diligence. The vessel
was libelled last May, on a charge of
having violated the neutrality laws.
She was released under 900 bonds
in accordance with a provision of the
neutrality laws, her owners and Off
GERS binding themselves to appear fer
trial. The Spanish minister vigorously
protested against the vessels release,
and insisted that she should be held
in custody until the charge against her
had been passed upon by the courts.
The claim of the Spanish government:
for damages will be greatly strength
ened by the fact that Minister De Lone
had protested against the release of
the Three Friends on the former oc-
caSion.
The Spanish claim will also be
strengthened by the fact that the lega-
ton had, just prior TO the departure
of the last expedition, notified the
about to carry such an expedition to
Cuba.
On behalf of the government, how
sible precaution was taken to prevent
the departure of the expedition. The
customs officials and the officers of the
department of justice were notified that
such an expedition was reported to be
forming, and they were directed to do
everything in their power to prevent
it's leaving the United States. The
commanding officers of the naval yes
sells and of the revenue cutters on the
Florida coast were also notified to be
on the lookout for the Three IS<ends,
or any other vessel that might attempt
to violate the neutrality laws.
The administration authorities be-
lieve that every possible effort was
made to prevent the expedition getting
away, but such secrecy was observed
that the Three Friends was at sea
with the expedition before the officials
knew of her departure. Two naval
vessels and a revenue cutter at once
started in pursuit, but failed to over
take her.

Why Judge Prior Refused Certif-
cate of Incorporation to Hebrews.

New York, Dec. 26.-Judge Prior, in the
supreme court today. denied the appli-
cation of the Agudath Hakehiloth, a
Hebrew organization of New York for a
certification of incorporation. In refusing
the certificate, Judge Prior says:
In the certificate submitted TO me
observe the annual meeting of the pro-
posed corporation is appointed to be held
on each and every second Sunday of
January of each and every year 1t is not
a religious corporation. and it's annual
meetings are for the. performance of pre-
cisely such secular business as is trans
acted by other civil corporations.
The question is not whether such
meetings are illegal, but whether they
should be approved. The act referred to
is an aggression upon the Christian Sab
bath, and the law which scrupulously
protects them in their observance of their
the religious susceptibilities of Others"
