Thirty-Two Coal Miners Lose Their Lives
In Washington.

In Washington.
Carbonate, Wash, Dec. 9.-Short1y
before II AS o'clock yesterday forenoon
this coal mining village was stunned
with the first report of terrific subter-
ranean explosion in the mine of the
Carbon Hill Coal Company, the tunnels
of which run miles under the town.
There was an ominous rumbling,
smothered sound for n few moments
and then it ceased abruptly. The peo-
pie knew ut once what this meant and
stood around with blanched faces.
Apprehensions OF some fearful dis
aster were confirmed In n little while
with information that the morning
shift In tunnel No. had been caught
in an explosion Of fire damp. Between
seventy and eighty men were at work
In the mine ut the time and the belief
was that all must have been killed, as
there was no chance OF escape. Those
who were not killed outright would be
hemmed In by the falling walls and
timbers and suffocated by the gasses
and smoke before any opportunity Of
relief could come.
The Inhabitants flocked to the mouth
of the tunnel. Women, wives of the
men supposed to be in the shift, ran to
and fro screaming and wringing their
nhnus Win anguish, crying cnlidren
clinging to their skirts.

Du,y Of silver R,prpl,c.p..


Secretary OF State Pntrie Of Idaho
Silver Republican. who recently sent
out letter to many OF his party
throughout the state, asking for their
views on the desirability Of going back
to the Republican party. has received
n great many responses, only two OF
which nre in opposition to his own
view that the time has come to return.
One OF the replies from ex-Attorney
General George NJ. Parsons, one OF the
Silver Republican leaders. After stat
ing the reasons for the organization OF
the party in support OF silver, Mr.. Par
sons says:
"The conditions that caused us to do
this no longer prevail Prosperity is
strongly in evidence throughout the ma
tion. The cry of silver has lost It's
force md power to rally men under
strange political banners
Colonel william ]. Bryan advises
good Democrats to return to the Demo
cratic fold, and within Its lines fight
our differences on the silver question.
II his advice is good as to Democrats,
licans?
'In the Silver Republican platform
of 1893 we declared ourselves to be in
favor OF an honorable union with nll
other political forces who are willing
to make the restoration OF silver the
one paramount issue, and who are
ready TO subordinate II to all other
questions This declaration was the
open test of our fealty to silver. and,
putting aside nll other considerations,
we Joined the Democracy In Its behalf.
But the Democratic party has made
1t plain that henceforth silver Will be
simply an issue to catch the Western
vote, and that party proposes to subor-
dinate 1t to other questions, most prom
inent among them being the furling OF
the flag.
'1f my loyalty to silver is to be sand
wiched between disloyalty to our na-
tion and national dishonor, then l am
for my country without silver.
"In our party platform we declared
for protection to American Industries
and American labor, for reciprocity, ex-
tension OF commerce, protection to our
seacoast and the upbuildng OF our ma
Wy. and we also declared 1t to be our
firm conviction that every Island every
strip OF land. over whose soil has
fioated the stars and stripes and whose
soil has been wet with the blood Of
American manhood. is ours by an In
defensible title, TO be held 80 long rs

will carry dismay to the Democrats.
Legislation against the trusts. SO far
as any Of these combines are harmful,
is almost certain to be enacted In the
present session of Congress, and this
will head OF the demngogic attempts
of the Democratic bosses to make an
issue on this question. AL the legisla-
ton of any consequence which has
ever been enacted by Congress against
the trusts was, OF course. passed by
the Republicans and signed by Re-

Fifty-six Republican members Of the
pennsylvania Legislature and seven
ty-six Democrats have signed a remon-
STRANGE addressed to the Senate Of the
United States against the admission of
Matthew Stanley Quay under his ap-
pointment by Governor Stone. This is
considerably more than a majority of
the Legislature, and It 10 said that the
signatures OF majority of the Republi-
can members will be obtained before
the petition is presented. This re-
monstrance is based upon the failure
of Mr.. Quay to secure n majority of the
Legislature Of his state, aud 1t Ii con-
tended that the members who opposed
him were fairly representing the senti-
ment of their constituents; that Gov
ernor Stone appointed Mr.. Quay to the
vacancy as an act of personal friend
ship and gratitude and not because II
was desired by the state. The remon-
STRANGE will. Of course, have consider
