WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Mchigan and
California struck boldly to-day against
any favors for Cuba i'm the way of tariff
reductions. Both these are big beet-sugar
producing States and both have solid Re
publican delegations in Congress. The
representatives have watched with anxiety
the development OF the sentiment in favor
OF the reduction of the duties on Cuban
sugars and tobacco. When il was an
nounced this morning that the ways and
means committee would really hold hear
ings to determine whether the tariffs
should come down on these articles they
acted promptly. A caucus was called. and
the representatives from these two States
were in conference in less than two hours.
They adopted strong resolutions against
any reductions. They will also decline TO
go into a Republican caucus which might
try to bind them to a party programme
on this issue. Wisconsin and Nebraska
representatives also held an informal
caucus. with result along the same lines
as Michigan and California, although not
so strong. The representatives from these
beet-sugar producing States were very
much worked up over the situation. They
lively fashion. They say the Republicans
were practically committed TO a policy OF
no tariff tinkering and that under the cir
cumstances the ways and means commit
tee should not have held any hearings,
but fatty said they were not needed be-
cause no tariff changes were contemplated.
AS near as can be learned from the
White House. the President will be very
in he
along these lines. 1t is understood that a
little later on he will entertain at the
White House Tomas Estrada Palma, be-
fore he goes TO the island to assume his
new duties, and that on that occasion he
will find some way of bringing to public at
tention. in the words of Palma, the plea
of the Cubans. This might be done by an
exchange of formal greetings.

Payne also stated that the committee was

LITTLE HOPE THAT ANY OF THEM
WILL BE RESCUED ALIVE.
Names of Victims of the Disaster at
Negaunee, Mich.-Quarrymen
Killed and Burned.

NEGAUNEE, Mich, Jan. Sup to 10
o'clock tonight there had been few devel-
opments at the Negaunee mine. the scene
of yesterdays disastrous cavern. The
work of rescue continues with undated
vigor. Though the work is greatly re-
tarded by quicksand and water this diff
ficulty is being overcome by the aid of
extra pumps, and from now forward the
work of rescue will proceed more favorably.
Hopes of finding the men alive are about
abandoned
President Cole and leading officials of the
Oliver Mining Company arrived here from
Duluth in special car and havs been at
the scene of the disaster directing the work
of rescue. President Cole himself aided in
the work and penetrated the most danger
Gus parts of the mine in the attempt to
locate the entombed men. 1t is now
thought that three of the men supposed
to be located near the cage level will be
reached within a few hours, while days
may be consumed in the search for the
others.
The officers of the Negaunee mine to-
night announced that only nine of the
workmen met their fate as the result of
the cave-in. Not until this afternoon was
Ii possible to determine who the victims
are, as the men who escaped were slow
to report to the office. The dead, according
to this estimate are: William Williams,
pit foreman; John Sullivan. pump man;
John Pearce, John Pascoe, Jacob MattSOn,
Erick Lofty, Jacob Hanala, William Hok-
amen, Louis Mattson.
Captain James Piper in charge of the
mining operations, says, II will be a week
and probably ten days before the bodies
can be recovered. The drift In which the
men lost their lives is filled with water
and there is large mass OF ore and rock
to be removed before the bodies can be
reached. That portion of the mine where
the disaster occurred is in bad shape. The
large mass of dirt that went down loosened
the timbers in the shaft and the drifts ad-
joining the one closed up. Two extra
pumps have been put in and one or two
more will be added tomorrow. Division
Superintendent William II. Johnston to-
day said that no effort will be spared &c
recover the bodies. 1t will be an expensive
job owing to the large amount of dead
work necessary in making the drift secure

STORM BOUND A WEEK
IMPRISONED on A LIGHT SHIP
WHILE DAUGHTER DIED ASHORE.
Sad story of Captain JOrgensen
Wireless Telegraph Messages.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Nantucket lightship. off the
coast of Massachusetts, gives an account
of the manner in which Captain Jorgensen,
of the lightship. learned of the illness and
death of his daughter through the wireless
telegraph system. Says the dispatch:
Informed by wireless telegraphy OF the
illness and death of his daughter on the
mainland, and yet kept an unwilling pris-
oner for seven days because of the ex-
tremely rough sea which prevented incom-
ing steamers from taking him off. Captain
Jorgensen, of the lightship, finally sue
ceeded in getting on board the steamship
Astoria, which carried him ashore. Life
on the storm-swept nghtship has been al
most unbearable for Captain Jorgensen
since the receipt of the first news of his
daughters illness. The girl who was only
nineteen years old. has been i'll from the
effects of vaccination at her home in Brain
tree Mass. News of her condition since
she was first taken i'll had been daily
flashed to her father at his lonely post by
means of the Marconi system. AS the daily
bulletins told of her rapid loss of strength
and the premonitory symptoms of lockjaw
which finally developed. Captain Jorgen-
sens distress of mind became greater day
by day. At last came a dispatch announc-
ing her death Dec. 80. Although the
seas rolled almost as high as ever on Jan.
8, he resolved TO make desperate effort to
get ashore. Almost a hurricane was blow
ing at the time. but a message was flashed
% the shore for the lighthouse tender Aza-
lea TO take him off. She approached to
within a few hundred yards OF the light
ship, but the tremendous force of the seas
finally prevented her getting near enough
TO take the captain off. Messages were
sent TO Captain Jorgensen's family TO delay
the funeral long as possible. although
he had almost given up hope of getting
ashore in time TO attend il. Not until this
week was it possible for any of the incom-
ing steamers 10 get near the lightship TO
enable Captain Jorgensen 10 make the
perilous journey from the lghtship to the
steamer in a small boat"
