Ghastly Details :of the Michi-
ifgan Mining Horror.
Vv'AS THERE CRIMINAL NEGLECT?
It is Charged That the Mine Was Worked
Directly Under a Rivor Without PgOpcr
Supports—A Rigid Investigation to be
_ Institutcd.
CRYSTAL FALLS, Mich, Sep. 30.—-With
a terrific rush the water of the Michigamme
river broke through a bed weakened by
mining into the Mansfield mine yesterday,
drowning 28 men who were at work di-
rectly under the cave-in. There were 46
men in the mine when the accident oc-
curred, but 18 of them who were working
in the lower levels managed to escape.
The names of the drowned miners are:
San.- Peters, James Strongman, W. H.
Pierce, Chas. Pohl, Ole Carson and Joe
Kohla, all married; Swan Johnson, Mike
Ilhrrington, Frank Rucko, Al Torresani,
Frank Johnson. Sam Johnson, Shellimo
Zadra, Peter Turry, Nicolo Fontani, John
Regula, John Holmstrum, Ross Fortimato,
John Kirsche, John Warner, John Aacan-
gelo, August Cologne, Vigilis Zeadra,
John Raudala, Oscar Lundquist, Auto
Stelfano, O. Constauti and Celesti Negrj:
For more than two years the chief
workings have been directly under the bed
of the river. There has been much trouble
with water, and predictions have not been
wanting that the river would some day
break through the roof of the mine. The
news of the disaster sped on swift wings
throughout the little hamlet and a wild
cry of alarm was voiced by the inhabitants
as they rushed from their homes, gather-
ing about the shaft, just as the last one
of the 18 men was brought to the surface.
then the cause of the accident was ex.
plained to the anxiousinquirers a cry of
horror went up, as they realized that the
long expected and much dreaded accident
had taken place at last and brought with
it the results so long feared by the wives
and mothers. None of the bodies have
been recovered, and it is believed that it
will be necessary to divert the channel of
the river before they can be secured.
MARQUETTE, Mich., Sep. Bil—John M.
Longyear, of this city, is one of the chief
owners of the Mansfield property. He said
that the land has been leased to Calhoun
and Tenuy, of Chicago, and that they had
formed the Mansfield mining company.
Mr. Longyear’s belief is that the disaster
was caused by “robbing” the mine. That
is, by working in a reckless manner and
taking down pillars of are in the upper lev-
els that should havo been left to support
the roof. Mr. Longyear would not affirm
that su_ch was the case, but believed it prob-
The mine inspector of Iron county
will conduct a most rigidoxamination into
the cause of the disaster. The vein of ore
was only 16 feet wide and the nature of
the ground was such that experts say it
was easy to afford an adequate support to
the hanging wall of the mine.
CRYSTAL "FALLS, Mich, Sep. 30.-—Al‘
ready talk of suits for damages against
the operators by relatives of the dead
men is being heard. The mine was being
operated by the receiver of Corrigan, Ives ,
& Co. of Cleveland.

Slatute Discovered Which Admits Her
Without Paying Poll Tax.
VANCOUVER, B. 0., Sep. 30. -The report 5
that has been circulated in jthc east con-
coming the Chinese Wife of Missionary
McKay paying poll tax is not true. 011
landing at Vancouver the customs ofiloers
were in a quandry how to treat the case.
They were rather inclined to impose the
tax as a solution of the question. From
this fact, no doubt, the erroneous report
obtained currency. The fact is, after con—
siderable indecision and delay, the statute
homing on the case was unearthed. This
Statute provides that a Chinese ~ woman
married to a man of another nationality
shall be deemed of same nationality as her
husband. When the officers were thus en-
lightened, the reverend gentleman and his
wife came ashore and apologies were made
for undue detention. 5

,MESSRS. HARRIS AND MORGAN TALK
The Proposed International Agreement
Declared an Idle Dream—Animosity
Against President Cleveland—Federal
' Election Law Debate Creates Little
{Interest in, the House.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 30.—-Two of the most
distinguished senators on the democratic
side of the chamber —Harris of Tennessee
and Morgan of Alabama—made vigorous
attacks in the senate yesterday on the
silver purchase repeal bill. Mr. Harris as-
serted that the repeal of the Shannon act
would be the last recognition of silver as
money, and that the republicans who were
now siding Mr. Voorhees would desei t him
as soon 115' they accomplished their purpose
and would oppose any measure that might
be presented to utilize silver in any way
and to any extent.
Mr. Harris expressedhis readiness to .ac- ‘
eept any fair and reasonable compromise
and his determination to vote against un—
condi tional repeal. '
Senator Morgan r: 'diculed the proposed
international agreement as “an idle dream
only to be realized by the fervid imagina-
tion of 'every enthusiastic statesman,”
(meaning Mr. Allison, rep., Iowa).
He also characterized it as “a tub
thrown to the whale,” and spoke eloquently
of“ the failure of the. struggle for American
independence, if this country could not
establish its own financial system without
the consent of Great Britain. He opposed
the bill and, argued for the constitutional .
rightof the free coinage of silver. At the
close of his speech he developed :1. good
deal of animosity against President Clove-
land and intimated that the democrats
“woulth love him for the friends he
had made.”
- Senator Cameron (rep, Pa.) presented a
petition bearing the signatures of Mr.
Wharton Barker and probably more than
a hundred business men and firms of
Philadelphia, asking the senate to preserve
the protective character of the tariff and
the integrity of silver as a money metal.
In the house instead of interest in the
discussion of the federal election repeal bill
increasing, it is rapidly diminishing. At
no one time in the house yesterday after
the bill was taken up were there more
than 100 members present, and the aver-
age attendance throughout the debate
would not exceed 25.
Gillett of Massachusetts was the chief
speaker. He spoke against the bill as did
Lacey of Iowa. Blair of New Hampshire,
Dearmond of Missouri and Wheeler of
Alabama advocated the repeal. But the
surroundings Were depressing and none of
the gentlemen could do themselves justice.

NEW YORK, Sep. 30.—Commissionor
Shields yesterday issued a warrant for the
arrest of Chu Fong, manager of the Chi-
nese theatre, on the charge of assisting in

Deputy Marshal Grant decided to post-
pOne the arrest until after the ceremony.
A lawyer subsequently“ appeared before
the commissioner and gave bonds for the
Chinaman’s appearance. Lee Chunk is

and Chu, it is said, gave $300 for her to

WASHINGTON, Sep. fill—Complaints are
being received at the interior department
that the railroads running-through the
Cherokee outlet are discriminating
against the town sites located by the gov-
ernment and in favor of sites established-
by themselves. This discrimination, it is
reported, has gone so furthat mail trains
do not not stop at Enid where the land of- '
lice is located and where there is a. town
of 20,000 peOple, but run their mail trains
5 -, through the town to their own town site
nearly three miles beyond and send back.
the mail by wagons.
Discrimination is also reported against
the town of Perry
The interior and postOfii'oe department
officials have the matter under telegraphic
investigation, and will promptly right
whatever wrongs are being perpetr'atéd.
Secretary Hoke Smith has the matter
under his personal charge and is deteié
mined that the settlers on the government
town sites shall have every mail facility
that is needed. It is said at the post, of-
fice department that if the facts are as re-
ported the railroad companies are liable to'
a severe penalty and that it wilibe exacted.
It is feared that thrgugh misrepresentation

subject of interstate trade is very generally
gratifying to consumers. On the other
hand considerable complaint is being made
by packers, especially in, the east. These
'packers declare that such inspection will
involve much interference and annoyance
in theil business. The secretary has de-
cided, however. that his order ‘of the 13th

of shabby figures slumbered o'r mcved
about on the seats beneath the trees of
the park. On'a bench besid'e‘the little
fountain sat a group that arrested my
attention. Three figures were reclining
most touching one another. One was
but little more than a boy. A bundle
done up in 11 called handkerchief was in
his hand. His sunburued face and his
sturdy shoulders gave evidence that he
was from the country—probably a farm-
in the City. His boots were covered with
red clay. He was leaning against a thin
figure clad in somewhat shabby gar-
ments.
This man pOssessed a dark and sinister
