"The introduction Of the Republican

in 1895.
"The Democratic party will maintain
its stand in favor of free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
of IL to 1, independent of the consent of
any foreign nation-in short, independ-

Causes Severe Loss of Lite.
CARBoNADo, Wash, Dec. 1.-THE
accident in shaft No. Z of the Carbon
Hill coal mines, 40 miles east of Ia
coma, although not SO serious as first
reported, caused loss of 80 lives.
There were rs men at work at the time
of the explosion and "A have reached
the surface alive. Five of these are in
q serious condition. Governor Rogers
and relief train were early on the
scene.
The origin Of the accident is yet un-
known, but it is supposed that miners
working between the 3OO-foot and 600
foot levels broke into the old mine
workings, which are filed with gas.
An explosion followed as soon as this
outpouring gas came in touch with the
first miners lamp. The conclusion was
sufficient to blot out the lives Of nearly
half the miners in shaft No. z.
Governor VIII Investigate.
Governor Rogers will conduct q
searching examination as to the cause
of the explosion. He telegraphed State
Mine Inspector Owens, now at Spo-
kane. to attend the inquest and ex-
anime witnesses himself. The question
of insufficient ventilation of the mine
in accordance with the state law will
be thoroughly gone into.
The Carbon Hill mines are owned by
the Pacific Improvement company, an
offshoot of the Southern Pacific Rail-
way company. The output of 100 tons
a day is shipped to Tacoma by rail, and
thence to San Francisco and Oakland.
The mines are the second largest in the
state and have been in operation for
nearly 20 years.
Most of tho victims were Firms, Poles
and Welsh.

Mason Of Illinois Speaks on His
Resolution of Sympathy For
the Beers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Nor
gan of Alabama has introduced joint
resolution to prohibit com binations be-
tween corporations to control interstate
commerce and transportation. The res
olution is as follows:
"That any contract, agreement or
combination between two or more cor
porations which has for its purpose the
control of the price of anything which
is the subject of, or enters into, inter-
state commerce, or the cost of the
transportation thereof, SO as to increase
the same at any place or locality in the
United States, or to discriminate in
favor or against any class of dealers,
traders in or consumers of such articles
within the United States, is contrary to
the public policy of the United States,
and every such contract, agreement or
com bination is illegal and is prohibited.
"Any person being a member Of any
corporation, or acting as its agent, Of
ficer, or employe, who enters into any
such contract, agreement or combina-
ton, or knowingly assists in the execu-
ton or performance thereof, is guilty
of misdemeanor, and is liable to pros
ecution for such offense, on information
or by indictment, in the district court
of the United States in and for the dis
tlict in which such offense is COM
mitted. And on conviction thereof
such person shall be fined in a sum not
less than 800 and not to exceed $500,
and also be imprisoned for a term. in
the discretion of the court in which
such conviction is had, not less than
one month and not greater than two
years."
Mr.. Morgan gave notice of his inten-
ton to address the senate on the reso-
luton at later date.
One of the features Of the session was
the speech by Senator Mason of Illinois
on his resolution expressing the SYM
pathy of this country with the Beers.
His speech was long one and was de-
livered with characteristic vehemence.
