CARLISLE PREDICTS DISASTER.

The Treasury Secretary Reiterates His
Declaration Abont Free Coinage
WASHINGTON, June 81 - Secretary
Carlisle reiterated yesterday to a cor
respondent the predictions which he
made in his Chicago speech of disaster
to follow the adoption of free coinage
in this country without international
agreement. Creditors will not wait
for the actual passage of a free coin
age law" he says, bat as soon
as such a measure receives the APP
proval of the people they will de-
mand their money, and if not paid,
will enforce collection by judicial pro-
ceedings and sale of property. Payment
of all obligations held abroad will
be demanded in gold at once and every
Investment of foreign capital in this
country will be withdrawn" Assist
ant Secretary Curtis said: THE
adoption of free coinage would have
an immediate disastrous effect All
gold coin would certainly be boarded,
contracting largely the volume of the
circulating medium. AT the same time
currency not redeemable in gold would
rapidly depreciate in value. Interest
rates for the use of money would rise
very high and the usual cure for this
condition, the sending of money from
abroad. would be prevented by dou BIT
as to the value of money in which such
loans would be repaid

CLEVELAND, O., June 2L-Mark Han

think the silver question is a matter of
great consideration to the working
men, saying:
The thousands of working men. who are en-
ployed in the manufactures of this Country,
do not care iota about this question of free
silver. They say they do not. and it is apparent
that what the industrial classes Of America
want is better times. a dawn of pros
perity, and some assurance that they
will ere long receive better wages, or at
least stipend equal to that which they
were getting before the financial depression
which followed the democratic victory of 1892.
J am convinced of the correctness Of what am
saying because 1 have talked with my men on
this subject have 5000 to 5000 men in my
employ and know by personal investigation
that the men who are working in the shops

The Conclusion Heard for Many Miles, and

Appalled, and Women Faint.

WILkEsBARRE, Pa, June 29.-While
80 miners were at work in the Red Ash
vein of the Twin shaft at Pittston
about three o'clock yesterday morning,
the roof caved in and it is believed all
of the men persisted. Thirty Poland
erS and Huns were entOm bed, and it is
thought the total num- Der of odios in
the mine will reach 100. More than
two-thirds of the victims were
married men. The conclusion was
SO great that it was heard for miles
around. The foundations of nearly
every building in Pittston were shak.
en- and windows and doors ratified as

the mine, persons were thrown from
their beds. The first thought was that
great earthquake had occurred, and
the inhabitants rushed pell-mell from
their houses. The ringing of the fire
bells and the shrieking of the big mine
whistle told the story.
Crowds of people gathered about the
mouth of the shaft and mum bered
thousands by daybreak. Stalwart
men stood appalled,, and frantic wom-
en-, who had husbands or sons in the
doomed mine, waited in despair.
When it was given out that there was
little or no hope of rescuing the men
alive, women and girls tainted and
were borne away.
The rescue work was promptly be-
gun, but at two o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon il became necessary to swear
in extra policemen to control the crowd
around the mouth of the shaft. 1t had
increased to fully 1000 The latest re-
ports were that the situation at the ILL
fated mine was unchanged. The res
cuers were hard at work, but making

FARMERS ENCOURAGED.

Government OmcIaIs Certain That ThHs
Years Harvest VIII Yield Large Profits.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-There is new
hope for the farmers The year 1896
promises to bring them rather better
returns for their labor than last year
and better than the year before. The
wheat crop of the country is sure to be
the largest since 1892, and larger than
the average of the last 16 years This
years wheat crop is unoficially esti-
mated by the department of agricul-
ture at AIS, COO, 900 bushels. This has
been exceeded only six times since
1880. The Importance of the wheat
crop to the farmer is not so much in
the total yield as in lis market value.
According to the present outlook,
the value of this years wheat
of tie last three years. The
department of agriculture does
not presume to estimate the prices of
any commodities in advance of the
market, but unofficial information is
to the effect that the average value of
wheat this year is likely to be about
81 cents, against 81 cents last year, 40
cents in 1894, "a cents in 1898 and &c
cents in 1892 If the estimate of 81
cents for this years crop be borne out
by the market quotations during the
remainder of the year, the total value
of the 1896 wheat crop will be $780,
