Three Have Been Found Impractlcable. but Others Have Been Suggested. VICTORIA, B. 0., Feb. 14.-——Postmaster General Kidd of New South Wales, speak- ing of the reported abandonment of all three of Sanford Fleming’s proposed cable routes as impracticable, says he has all- along foreseen this, and that even if the great stretches intended were work le it would be impossible to repair a cabl once laid on account of the great depth. He favors a route from Bundaberg, in Queensland, to Fiji, thence to Samoa, the Fanning islands and Honolulu. He thinks Fleming’s proposition not likely to meet with any favor from the Australian colo- _ nies because they will not take it up as a government. undertaking, and he will therefore have to form a syndicate to carry out his views. ' In the meantime Audley Cote, manager of a rival scheme promoted by the French government, is in England working and appears to have made arrangements or continuing the French cables. He is ex- pected to forward a proposal for carrying out the extension to Vancouver, the cable to be worked and managed from Fiji on- ward under the direction of British officers. Mr. Kidd thinks such a proposal would meet with favor in Australia. 'ro so". IN AN OPEN BOAT. Two Frisco ,Boys Started For Alaska to Search For Gold. TACOMA, Feb. 14.:—-Tw0 San Francisco boys were picked up unconscious in mid- ocean last week by the lumber schooner Coronna. They had been without food for four days, and a signal of distress had been tied to the sprit of their little fishing boat. Walter Ralph and Eddie Schuler were attending school at San Francisco, when stories of—fabulous finds of gold along the Yukong river fascinated them. They stole a fishing .boat, rigged it with one small sail, and after spending all the money they had for provisions set sail for Alaska. \Vhen the lads were out six hours, a son’- wester caught them. In 10 days their food ran out. The six- teenth day out the schooner sighted them. They were got aboard with the greatest difficulty and did not regain consciousness until after they had been dosed with stim- ulants. Narrowly Escaped a Collisibn. FAR ROCKAWAY, N.

Congressmen Busy Discussing Its Mer- its and Drawbacks. ' A DULL DAY IN THE SEN ATE. After Routine Business, Mr. Gray of Delu- vrare Continued in. Defense of Pres- ident Cleveland’s Course In the Hawaiian Matter. ( WASHINGTON, Feb. l4._--The debate on the Bland silver seigniorage bill was re- sumed today in the house. Some routine business preceded it. The speaker laid before the house the Hawaiian message from the president transmitted yesterday. At the request of Mr. Burrows it was read. The message and correspond- ence were referred to the foreign affairs committee. Mr. Brown (1nd.) attempted to have the house concur in the unanimous report of the committee on elections in the VVhat— lay-Cobb contested election case from Ala- bama confirming Mr. Cobb’s title to his seat, but Mr. Pence (Colo) objected, and on motion of Mr. Bland the house then went into committe of the whole for fur- ther consideration of the seigniorage bill. Mr. Bland sought to make an arrange ment to close debate at 1 o’clock tomor— row, but his suggestion met with a chorus of objections from the Republican side. Thereupon Mr. Kilgore (Tex) was recog- nized to complete his speech begun last Friday. He began by denying the statement made by the opponents of the bill that it would force the secretary of the treasury to redeem the treasury notes of 1890 in sil- ver. It would not in any way interfere, he said, with Jhc redemption of these notes in gold Or silver at the option of the hold- er, but having been redeemed silver coin or certificates would go out to take their place in the country’s currency. Mr. Bell’s Contention. Mr. Bell (Tex), who followed, contended that the real question at issue was wheth- er the United States should exercise its right of sovereignty to issue paper money or issue interest bearin g bonds upon which the national banks would issue national bank notes. In the Senate. A bill was reported by Senator Coke (Tex.) and passed continuing in force the act for the protection of fish in the Poto- mac river. Senate bill making Labor day, the first Monday of September, a legal holiday, was reported by Mr. Kyle from the committee on education and placed on file; then, at 12:30, Senator Gray (Del. ) resumed his argu— ment on the Hawaiian resolution. He reiterated his statements of yester- day that the revolutionary leaders were not willing to carry out their plans until assured of the support from the United Stat-es forces and rcadan affidavit in which it was deposed that John H. Soper, now commander of the national military at Honolulu, had declined first to accept this command, but afterward accepted, saying, “I have had satisfactory assurances from the old man himself (Minister Stevens) that the American force will give their support, and I intend to take a hand.” The senator proceeded to argue that the provisional government could not have stood one hour without the support of the United States forces. He also quoted from the letter of Mr. Dole and other members of the provisional government declaring their inability to prevent disorder and praying that the American flag be raised for the protection of the Hawaiian Islands. Even to Mr. Blount Mr. Dole stated that the provision— a1 government could not move along with- out the aid of United States troops. “There is doubt from the evidence,” said Senator Gray, “that Mr. Stevens longbe- fore this had been actively promoting What he calls annexation sentiment, and that he was in close communion with those desir- ing to bring about a. change in the govern— ment and to set up another that would treat with 'the United States, or, as the president says, bring about a state of things in which the United States would represent both sides} of the bargain. “He used the United States forces to at- tain this result. In view of all this there can be no two opinions as to the duty Of the president. Every patriotic American ought to see that his duty was to with- draw this treaty and rescue our govern- ‘ ment from the dishonorable and disgrace- ful attitude in which it had been placed by the unauthorized acts of this petty minis- ter to a petty kingdom. Praise For Cleveland’s Course. “The executive, in disregard of the ca- luminies of his partisan opponents, dared to do the right thing. He dared to dothat which will stand the scrutiny of years to come and to commend to the posterity that comes after us the wisdom, the honor and the integrity of the government that they will have inherited. The executive has appealed to the honor and judgment of his countrymen, and I am willing to abide the result of that appeal. “A great deal has been said about the American flag being hauled down at Hawaii. I say that .when the flag of the United States is hauled up by the order of a Democratic president it will be hauled up under circumstances that will keep it where it is until the winds of heaven have blown it into rags. . “It will never be hauled up in dishonor so as to put the great people whose'sym- bol of honor and authority it is to tile blush. It will never misrepresent the magnanimity and greatness and courage of the people of the United States as it dit’ when it was hauled up at the request 01 this revolutionary junta in the Hawaiian Islands.” ' Postmaster-s Appointed. \VASHIXGTON, Feb. 14,—The fourth class postmasters appointed were: New J ersey—Howell, J.

Mine Accident at the Gaylord Slope Ir. Plymouth. THE NAMES or Tut VICTIMS It Is Generally Believed That All the Men Vere Caught In thaFall and In- stautly Killed-«An Ill Fated Mine—A Pitlable Scene. WILuEsnAnnE, Pa., Feb. 14.-—-An exten- sive cavein occurrsd at the éTaylord slope Of the Kingston Coal comp.3-,-, Plymouth, today. Seventeen men are missing. Res— ' cuers are hard at work, though there is but little hope of getting the men not alive. ' ; The Gaylord mine or slope has been con- sidered an ill fated colliery for more than a year past. Only a month ago there was a cavein of the surface which weakened the roof of the whole mine. So far as can be learned the accident today was can-:ed by a further depression of the surface. This in time caused the roof of the chambers of the mine to fall, shutting off all meaxrs of escape for those men who were within the cavein circle. The superintendent of the mine reports that only 13 men are entombed, but 17 are missing. A number of men working in another part of the mine heard the run-- bling sounds of the cavein and were fortu- nate enough to escape. The relatives of the cntmnbcd men are gathered at the mouth of the slope, and their cries of distress would move the stoutest heart. Everything is being done to reach the cntouibed men. The Men Entombed. The following are the names of the men entombed: Thomas Leyshon, Michael \Velsh, Peter McLaughlin, John Arner, Dan Morgan, Joseph Ords, Thomas Pic- ton, Thomas Jones, Richard Davis, John Morris, James Kin gdon,Thomas Morrison, Thomas Cole. , Nearly all are married, with large fam- ilies. It is generally believed that all the men were caught in the fall and are dead. John Cuddy, who wasat work with the entombed men, escaped with his life by a hair’s breadth. The fall cut him off from the other workers by about two feet, mak- ing a sort of dividing wall between him and his companions. Immediately after the roof had fallen in he could hear the men who Were entonibed groaning, then all was silent. He ran and gave the alarm, and the work of rescue was at once begun. At niftime was it [be— lieved there was any hope of taking the men out alive, but the rescuers worked hard nevertheless. The Jolmstown Hero Ill. PITTSBURG, Feb. 14.——Hon. James B.
