 New York. March 18.-Ignoring lower European markets and possibly not aware of the strained relations existing there owing to dissensions in the east ern question as also dormant dissatis faction on the part of the laboring classes at home, our market opened strong and ran Into wild speculation with constant and uninterrupted ad vances during the morning hours. There cannot be a question about the market offering great chances for reali- zation of profits and judging from the very heavy transactions it must have been made use of in many stocks which recently have enjoyed immense appre- ciation in value. The advances were not all uniform and some like the coal CTS on the news now before the public regarding impending strike, even sold lower than Saturdays close; in the main, however, the market was un- doubtedly strong and whenever weak ness on sales for realization showed It. self fresh support made it's appearances in other groups. The public in general through the public press is becoming educated to the belief of still higher prices, and yet there are some branches of trade, which are in almost helpless condition. Very little attention is paid to the condition of our banks or that money may from now on become dearer; it seems the bull sentiment is again on and must run it's course for a time at least The market also showed quite revival in speculation in the steel stocks at noteworthy ad- vances. The time for conversion for the new securities is near at hand and from

Efforts to Rescue Cumberland
Miners Failed.

Vancouver, B. c., Feb. 16--Every ef-
fort to rescue the forty white miners and
twenty-five Chinese who are entombed
in Union mine has so far been unsuc-
cessful. Work had to be stopped some
time last night after a second explosion
in No. shaft and the difficulties in No

There is a hundred feet Of coal and
debris to bore through yet to reach NO
s workings and there is little hope that
any of the men will be found alive. All
night shifts of men worked under Super
intendent and Mine Manager Little. Ev-
erything is working smoothly. Thirty
men are sent down at a time and they
remain only fifteen minutes. Even then
some of the rescuing party are taken out
more dead than alive.
They are Immediately replaced by thirty
new men who stay in the after-damp at
fected tunnels as long as possible, until
they are overcome. The steamer Joan is
waiting here this morning for the arrival
of Premier DunSmuir. president or the
Union ColIiery company and part owner,
who will return from trip to eastern
Canada by the noon train His party Will
go on board the steamer and make the
trip direct to Union in record time, arriv-
ing there about O'Clock this afternoon.
Aid is being sent from Victoria, Nanaimo
and nearby cities Very little news Is
coming over, the one government tele-
graph wire from Union, which is old,
working badly.

BELMONT DESERTS.
Says Democrats Must Repudiate
the Tammany Leader.

New York. Feb. 16.-Long before Rich

tinued supremacy Of Tammany in the city
government. he will md many OF his
against him. Perry Belmont yesterday
gave voice to the sentiment that IS being
shaped by such men as Abram 5 Hewitt
Charles s Fairchild and George Foster
Peabody.
Mr.. Belmont did not support Bryan in

The first break OF Mr.. Belmont from
Croker took place before the head Of
Tammany went to Europe. It was made
manifest when Croker sailed. At that
time a great bunch of flowers was in
the state room of the. chief On satin
ribbon the names of those who presented
the flowers to Croker appeared The
names included all the officers of the
Democratic club. Among them was that
of Mr.. Belmont. He then took occasion
to announce he had nothing to do with
sending the flowers to Mr. Croker, and
resigned as a director of Cookers club.
His first real note of opposition was yes

a sERInIIs PROBLEM.
How to Make the Railroad Board
Non Partisan.

Non Partisan.
Who win be the non partisan member
OF the railroad commission2 Is the ques-
ton that IL now bothering the men
who are looking after Office and who
keep tab on the offices.
According to the railroad bill which
was adopted in the caucus yesterday the
board cannot contain more than TWO Re-
pubIcanSs one man must be non-Ker-
tisan or a member Of one of the other
political parties The Populists have no
hope that a member of their party will
be appointed on the commission Tt
will be q Gold Democrat One who voted
the Republican ticket" they say
They have assumed more than the Re
publicans even intended they should
have in looking at the matter in that
light A non-partisan board does not
mean that the board shall be composed
of members of the different parties. It
may mean that it shah be composed Of
members Of no party. but it does not. A
nom partisan board would be a board
with two Republicans and on& man who
takes no part in politics. It is figuring
of this kind which places D. J. CraW
ford on the possible list for an appoint
ment or the board He is not a polite
ians he Ii a railroad man. The other
members could be Republicans, his
friends say and he would make the
board non-partisan.
If the executive council decides that a
party man must be placed upon the COM
mission the chances are that 1t will be
either Barney Sheridan or James Fixe.
Sheridan voted with the Republicans
last year. at least he is credited with
so doing, and they naturally feel CRATE
full to him. Another man who is men
toned Is T. D. GassoWay, of Columbus.
who was in the house two years ago as

Of men who are not Republicans who
want the job If the executive council

ulist, but they are not figuring very hard
