pay day at the mine and that there was
no empty wagons to load accounts for
many not going into the mine that morn

day there would have been more than a
hundred men in the mine and the result
would have been even more appalling than
ii is.
The scenes about the morgue yesterday
and last night were such as to bring tears

bleeding bodies were carried from the

back by the strong arms would weep pitt

SENATE FINANCE BILL.
Republicans Hope to Keep II Front
thtg. heinz Amended


S4r Being Amended.
New York. December ga special TO
the Herald from Washington says: scna-
tor Aldrich of Rhode Island, who win
have charge of the republican currency
Bill In the Senate. will try to put II
through that body without an am,A ment.
This is the plan decided upon by the
republican leaders. Republicans who may
FAVOR changes in the bill are expected to
abstain from Offering amendments and
bring the matters they think should be
changed to the attention Of the finance
committee. In this way much time VIII
be saved and the republicans will be able
to present at all times united front
to the opposition The leaders believe they
can carry out their programme.
Gree the bill is in conference, the re-
publican conferees from the two houses
can get together and draft the final COM
promise measure. which will be agreed
TO by both houses and will become a law.
Ihere is every probability that this meas
ure will resemble the senate bill more
than the house bill. 1t is expected to
contain the senate refunding feature and
the house provision authorizing the estab-
lishment of National banks with s25 900
capital.
1t is probable that the conferees will
decide to incorporate in the bill the pro-
vision recommended by Comptroller
Dawes TO so modify the permission to
National banks 10 issue currency up to
the par value of the bonds deposited as
to make 10 per cent of that circulation an
emergency circulation. This is to be done
by imposing a tax of per cent on the
additional 10 per cent the banks are to be
allowed to issue.
While republican leaders hope to be
able to prevent the offering of amend
ments from their side OF the chamber, ex-
cept by Senators Wolcott and Chandler,
who oppose the bill they will be unable
to control the democratic side. and many
amendments are expected from that quar-
ter. This will give more political sig
nificance to the debate in the senate than
attended the discussion in the house

the Spies.
New York December 25.-A dispatch to
the Herald from London says; 1t APP
pears that storm is brewing on the sub
ject of the course of the government to-
conduct at the outset of the war met
with much criticism.
1t is said that General Butler, previous
to the war, sent series of dispatches
warning the government against attacking
the Beers, giving details of their condi-
ton for war, which have been verified
by recent events. But his dispatches were
very distasteful to the government and
were put away out of sight and General
Butler was harshly criticised General
Butler, it seems, drew attention to the
way in which the English were misled
by the blindness Of the intelligence de-
partment which from what Has taken
place, was totally unaware of or pur-
posely misinformed by the Beers as to
their arms and numerical strength.
1t is well known here that British
agents We're sent from time to time to
find out what the Beers were doing in
the way of armament. The Beers knew
all about it, but simulated naivete and
conducted the visitors around forts which
they chose for their own purposes, where
old guns were set up and shown with an
affectation of pride by Presi..at Krugers
men, who were cunning enough to in
spire the strangers by their plausibility.
Thus, the British intelligence department
received the most minute reports OF the
cslibre. range and number OF the cannon
possessed by the Beers, but were l,erely
gulled by the willy burghers.
The English government sent out guns
in equal cal.bre to what the agents had
been allowed to see. In the same view
IL Is thought that the Beers understated
their numerical forces. and small arms.
