The bodies Of George Tomkess, Will

been recovered. The scene at the mouth
of the slope when the bodies were brought
to the surface was hemtrending.
Thus far but little headway has been
made toward eNtingnishing the flames,
the chief object being to take out the
mules first. A large FAN is now being
placed IN position in order TO clear the
slope of the smoke thus enabling the fire
fighters to work with safoty.

ON THIS PROPOSITION The UNION REPUBLICANS STOOD AND STILL STAND

ton shall have the first choice
of all the nominations to be
made, the minority the first
choice Of all the remainder; and
thus in an alternate manner
until all the nominations are
completed:
That the question Of the cleo
ton Of two Senators TO the Sen
ate Of the United States shall be
disposed Of by the adoption Of
one or the other Of the two fol-
lowing propositions;
First: That each faction shall
have undisputed choice to the

Or, second: That the voters of
each Senatorial and Representa-

rule, nominate their respective
legislative candidates; that loyal
support shall be given the same
by all Republicans without re-
gard to past factional divisions,
and that the whole question of
the election Of Senators to the
Senate of the United States shall
be left to the Legislature itself
when assembled without prior
reciprocal obligations or pledges
of any kind upon the members
thereof as to their disposition of
the matter:
That, if the foregoing propo-
sitions should seem to be unfair,
in that it is denied that the ma

That all the foregoing propo-
