Mrs. Tsui ICwo Yin will make her debut
In pollto society at n ball which the Chln o
minister has announced for next Thursday
nlsht. She Is the wile of tha minister , nnd
until now has keyt hor.iolf In strict seclu
sion , customary among Chinese women. A
ball nt. the Chinese legation is always
anticipated with doliphtm Washington for
It Is iho most picturesque event of the
season. At times it hni boon token ad
vantage of by tbo horde of free lunch society
fiends who haunt oflloial receptions to break
through all rules of decorum und decency
for the purpose of getting n look at Chlnoso
peculiarities nnd a taste of Chinese dishes.
This was carried to a scandulous extent at
thd ball of the Chlnoso minister nboul four
jroars ago. People who had not been invited
crowded into the house nnd took possession
of the refreshment room. The attendants
mid waiters were powerless to keep back
the hungry mot ) . Men put bottles of cham
pagne in tholr pockets nnd carried oft liberal
supplies of odd cakes , twisted Chinese cigars ,
bird's nest pudding , etc. , ns souvenirs. Tbo
Chinamen looked on with astonishment at
this exhibition of our modern civilisation.
There was no attempt to stop It , and the
crowd hold full sway until every thine movo-
nblo hud been carried off. Slnco that time
precaution has boon takou to keep a largo
force of police on hand to calm the prouon-
filtlos of the guests.
Rrrorinlnc Ok-stliil Customs.
The denut of the minister's wlfo * tves the
coming ball an unusual novelty for It Is
vcrv unusual for Chinese women to take part
in sochil events outside of tholrown countrv.
Bui Mrs. Yin has given several evidences of
reforming Celestial customs. Only live
months aeo she gave birth to n daughter ,
which is the second Chinese oabv born in
the Chinese diplomatic circles of this coun
try. Owing to American curiosity , the care
of" the babv has boon almost ns great as the
care of a ball. When thn little Colestlan was
first trundled about In Dupont circle in front
of the Chinese legation , n mob of women and
children made nn onslaught on the nurse ,
baby carriage and baby , until they were
threatened with being crushed. The city
, nnthoritlos had to detail u squad of police to
* ! c ° ' 't thl ) Infant nboul the park , nnd ever
l cti then four stalwart policemen guard the
dailv rides of the llttlo ono. The ball will
mark Mrs. Yin's reappearance from u long
privnor , customary with Chir.eso women
.iftor the birth of n child , and will also mark
hcr lint mingling with the other ofllcial
women of the capital.

Senator PotUgrow of South Dakota , who
voted with Senators Plumb and Poddock
Acnlnst the McKlnley bill , says ho will hero-
nftcr bo found In a straight line with his
party on nil tariff issues. Ho says : "I voted
ntralnst the conference report on the McKinley -
Kinloy bill because I bollevod that the re
port , in falling to make certain concessions
'demanded by the psnplo of the Northwest
had done us n wrong. I hoped that the
conference report would bo defeated in
order that in the reconsideration of the
matter our claims would bo recognized. I
am certainly a protectionist , nnd not as
Homo suppose n low tariff advocate. "

Justice Brewer npaln dissented from his
associates in n rmlroad case which was
decided the latter purl of this wenK. In
announcing his dissenting opinion there was
great earnestness shown by Justice Brewer ,
who Is familiar with the manner In which
railroad compinloi In the west strike down
cities in which they nro noi In a hiuilod wny
interested for the purpose of building up
tholr own towns to sell corner or Inside
lota. Mr. Brewnr's volco rose hl h nbovo
the din of the court room ns ho intimated In
limnistnbnula language that the position
ussu mod by the majority of the bench that
n railroad company has the right to locate its
own stations without regard to to the Inter
ests of the public was neither justified by
Vaw nor common decency. Ho said ho was
vcrv familiar with the motives which
prompted railroad companies In the west to
tear down n thriving town iu order that il
WiKbt build up another town upon its own
ground.
l.lncs of Distinction Obliterated.
President Harrison dined with senator and
Mrs. Dolph last week and thus pnvo further
ttvldoncos of his purpose to break down
lenntorial exclusion. His first dinner out
ilnco the opening of the projont oniclalsoa-
jon was thai with Senator McMillan of
Michigan. These acceptances are in marked
contrast with the custom that has been rig
orously observed for many yoari. It was
thought to bo essential to presidential dig
nity that ho should not accept any Invitations
p , beyond 111 o cublnot circle , ami sonio prosl-
* \ Jont-s have oven refrained from going to the
cabinet bousos. But Mr. Harrison gees to
dinner parties just us uny pnviuu ciuiou
would , although his innovation has not yet
extended bovond the senatorial houses.
Slnco ho has broken down the rule , however -
over , the question bus arisen bow far ho can
extend his democraticIdeas. . If ho dines
with senators , ho should of "course bo open to
Invitations from representatives , and If ho
nccopt the hospitality of representatives ,
whv should ho not mingle with the ordinary
American cltuon. And If ho accepts thu
hospitality of the cltl/on , is ittn bo confined
to the Invitations of the wealthy Mr. Vandor-
bill or to the humble Mr. John Smith. Those
questions navor have arisen under the rigid
old rules which descended from George
Wnshington , but now that thu rules are sol
asida nnd thu president is going about , Itrr.uv
bo expected that the hexd of the nation will
wipe out all lines of distinction nnd will ba
one of the people socially as well as officially.
'If they uro doing so. " was the senators
reply , "thoy will got cola comfort from mo. "
Senator Pottigrew Is being urged ns the
representative of tha northwest on the appro
priations committee , although ha has taken
no steps himself In this direction. Ho be
lieves , nx do a largo number of western sen
ators , that the largo amount of power and
responsibility now vested in the sonata com.
nlttoo appropriations Is altogether out of
proportion to the small numburof senators on
the commlttoo. Personalty Senator Potti-
grow Is in favor of the division of the appro
priation bills among the several committees
| j Is done in the house. I bollovo ho says
thntcuch a change would ba conducive to
economy nnd would certainly put the appro-
prlitloii bills In tbo bauds of men thoroughlv
jlted } to deal with them.
n of thu Confer I.iinl Illll.
Tha so-called Conger lard bill has roap-
pturod. It excited much Interest in the
V'ifty-llrst congress , haying boon reported
f/om the house committee on iicrlcullura. It
L.uscd the house owing to strong pressure
Jrom the eastern opponents of the Chicago ,
Omaha and Kansas City packers , nnd then
failed In the senate.
Mr. Droslus of Pennsylvania has rolutro-
-jlucod the bill In this congress. It was
I : iiVtOMMtly referred by Speaker Pro Tom
II uiinW iillau to the committee on ways nud
I. yhoan against/ the protest of Mr. Broslus ,
| V XfvhQ wished It referred once moro to tbo
r committee on nKrlculturo. As the bill is
precisely similar to tno oleomargarine law ,
-which unpodos an Internal revenue tax on
Mha product , the rdferonco to ways nnd
means ia tha only proper ono. As a mutter
of faot the tame bill was U t year reported
from Senator Paddock's commlueo back to
the senate with the recommendation that it
bo referred as a revenue tacusuro to the
senate committee on finance.
Senator Paddock's general antl-adultcrn-
tton bill , known us the nuro food bill , covers
the ground of the Inrd bill nnd innddltlon
the debasement ot food and debasement of
food products , from which our agricultural
communities suffer. It will bo probably
taken up for consideration In his committee
on Tuesday.
Mlsccllnricmn.
President Harrison tins not yet Indicated
whom he will nppolnt to tha vacant brlga-
dlorshlp. General Schollola is pushing
Colonel Peter Swain. The Illinois delega
tion uro urglntf Colonel ICilKcnu Carr , Sixth
cavalry ot Forl iobrar.1 nnd Senator
Proctor is using every cfforl to secure tha
selection ot Colonel Otis , Twentieth In
fantry. Colonels Carllno and Whcaton nro
still on the ( 'round doing tholr best for
recognition. General \Vhcuton Is endorsed by
twenty-two United States senators and n
seoro of the officers of the old nrmy. Senntor
Mnnderson yesterday mndo n powerful effort
In his behalf bctoro the secretary of war ,
ana .says thai his case Is made up and IIICKS
nothing nf completion. The appointment
will be Interesting as Indicating the policy
which the president Intends lo pursue re
garding the ranking colonels Hearing retire
ment who oin bo piomotod before leaving
the service if tbo cbiol executive so elects.
The advancement of Colonel Otos would
moan tbo retirement of Colonels Andrews ,
Carter , Swain , Wheaten and Carr ns
coloncii , because nil leave the .service on ac
count of ago before Colonel Oils , while
several could bo made brigadier generals ana
retire If given opportunity before Colonel
Otis , who does not rotlro until 1UJ- , roaches
tbo ( H year limit.
The extension of the leave of absence
granted First Lieutenant Augustus Mo _
Comb Fifth cavalry , Is still further extendo
to January 15 , 189.3.
Mrs. Mandorson's reception last week was
very largely attended , and Is referred to In
all of today's local panort. The wife of the
senior senator from Nebraska is ono of the
most popular and most sought nftor of the
ladles of the senatorial circle , and her weekly
receptions are always notable social wants.
Mrs. Mnnderson was assisted in receiving
this week by Miss Summers of Omaha , who
Is a decided society fivonte In Washington ,
whcro she has a number of relatives , ana to
whom she Is an annual visitor.
Miss Nina Marshall of Omaha spent the
holidays In Washington with Pennsylvania
school frlouda , and left yesterday for her
school.
Senator Paddock has returned from Ne
braska , whcro ho has been slnco Senator
Plumb's funeral. Ho reports business pros
pects "as greatly Improved In bis state , owing
to the marketing of the crops. "Omaha , "
said Senator PuddocK , "has suffered least
from tbo general depression of anv of the
largo western cities and is in splendid con
dition to recoup Itself through the Increased
prosperity of the stato. to which It Is trlbu-
torv. "
Both Senators Mundcrson and Paddock
yesterday put in hard worlc with tbo senate
committee on public buildings nnd
giounds for Hastings and h.ivo re
ceived assurances of nu airly re
port on the bill. They pledge a
foutth favorable report and passavo of the
bill in thn senate , and will give every assist
ance nnd cooperation to Mr. MoICoiulmn In
tbo house. Both senators are fooling some
what sere over what they consider the
ungracious response made bv the Hastings
papers to tholr hard and successful work
in the senate of four years in behalf of a
public buildine In that citv. They profess
themselves , however , willing and anxious to
once moro pull oil tholr coits In the face of a
democratic congress nnd do their best ,
rogaraless of appreciation or applause.

SPRINGER SPEAKS ON SILVER

In WiiHlilngtoti.
WASIIINOTOX , D. C. , Jan. 10. The slh'or
question , as a legislative Issue , Is oaca moro
awnkenluir the liveliest apprehensions of
both political parties ut the national capital ,
and within the past few days thU topic tins
been the subject of even moro discussion
than has the tlmo honored ( sslio of tariff re
form. Bui there Is suddenly being mani
fested nmonir tbo democratic leudiirs n dis
position to prevent the silver question rjach-
ing thoalgnliy of a pirnmouutis9ua to the
prejudlcs of tariff reform agitation , nnd it is
nald that , prompt measures are to betaken
taken to stamp the financial question as n
secondary issue , sna If not to relcgato It to
the future for solution. Hi least to prevent
these fatal embarrassments that might re
sult from hopelois party division upon the
question.
Representative William M. Springer of
Illinois , Senator Carlisle of Kentucky , a
member of the finance committee of the son
ata ; Senator John Palmer of Illinois nnd
Hoprcsontatlvo Joseph H. O'Neill ' of Massa
chusetts , arc tha prominent democrats who
are said to bollovo tno best solution of the
silver question lies In nn International ngroo-
ment , nnd who will therefore favor the
bill now being prepared for the
relegation of the question to an intcrnutiomil
congress to ba hold in Chicago In 1803. Such
disposition of the quoulon by this congress
would , ot course , prevent the silver quostloa
from becoming ono of the hurrasslng issues
of the coining eimpalgii and enable tba
fierce political battle of 18'JJ ' to ba foucht
once moro upon the burning Issues of tariff
reform.
Stringer1 * Ideas oil the Qumtlon.
"What course do you think should bo
pursued by nho democratic party in thi
congress with reference to the silver ques
tion I" nn Associated press correspondent
tonight inquired of Mr. Sponeor.
' The course which has berololoro been
to the frco coinage of silver , " replied Mr.
Springer , "is not a mailer of doubt I am a
bl-motalllst and as such I cannot supporl any
policy which would retogala sliver to Ihe
rear or alimlnata it from political discussion.
On the contrary 1 would make It n great in
ternational question and settle it upon lines
as broid as possible , and ntlhe orrllcsl time
practicable. My experience , however , in
matters of legislation teachoi me that the ob-
joci which is mosldesirablecanncl always bo
accomplished. But lhal which is , desirable
and \\hlch nl the sumo time , may DO attained
ought to be the aim of nil legislation. What
then is attainable during this congress so far
as silver is concerned I The house is demo
cratic by n lanro majority. The sonata is at
present republican It would bo next to im
possible for both houses of this congress to
agree upon a silver bill of nuv kind , bul
even if an agreement should bo
reached between the two houses
for securing free coinage or niaklnz more
liberal provisions in that direction , the
president stand ? ready to interpose his veto.
Hence no legislation upon this subject , how
ever desirable it may be , can bn attained
during this coneross. This is what I in
tended to state in ID v remarks at the Jackson
banquet in Now York Friday evening lust.
It Is n mere question of faot , that U all. The
situation carrloi up then to Mirch 4 , 1833 ,
uhon the proiont congress expires
by limitation of law. The next
congress , which will bo elected
in November next , will not assemble In
regular session until the first Monday in December -
comber , IS'JJ. ' This is the earliest limn ut
which it is p03siDlo to enter upon the consid
eration of measures which may thereafter
be enacted into law with reference to the
coinage of silver. "
Jlltcrmitlnmil Conference Desired.
"Now , " continued Mr. Springer , "can any
thing bo done in the meantime which would
enable congress to roach n prouor conclusion
on the silver quostlnn when the time arrives
at which practicable legislation may be
entered upon ) This , it seem to me ,
ia the practical question for thn con
sideration of congress at this tlmo.
congress could , with great propriety during
this session , pass nn act. authorizing tbo as
sembling of an international monetary
congress which would have for Its object and
whoso duty It would bo to formulate , subject
to the approval of the countries sending rep
resentatives thorato , a uniform monetary
system and to fix the relations which gold
and silver should bnar to each other and tno
nomenclatures and values of all coins here
after to bo issuod.
In view of the fact that the Columbian ex
position will bo hold in Chicago during the
year 18U3 ana , therefore , prior to the assomb-
ing of the flrst session of the next congrois ,
U seems mosl appropriate that this Interna
tional congress should ba held in that oily
during that tlmo. The congioss should bo n
popular one. It should bo a congressnot a
secret conference or commission as in the
past , and should have a largo representation
from this irovornmont and the governments
with which yfo maintain diplomatic
relations. its proceeds should no
published the sumo as tha proceedings of
congress , and representatives of the press
should bo admitted to all its sessions. Ib
would thus bocoma a great educational
ngo'ioy for the enlightenment , not only for
tha people of this country , bul of nil ether
countries , In reference to the subject to be
considered by 11.
IScprc entutl\eM Hlionld IIo Appointed ,
Tha representatives on behalf of iho
United Slates should bo appointed by tbo
president of the sonata and the speaker of
the house. At least , moru than four of them
should bo members of tba same political party ,
and who should represent so fur as posslbla tbo
present shades of opinion uuon thu comugo
ofbllvor. Those appointed by the president
of the sonata should bo members ot thu
senate , and these by the speaker of tha house
Miould ba members of the present hous-o of
representatives. It mliht bo well also to
authorize the secretary of state nnd the
director of the mint , In ofllco nt Iho time , tenet
net nlso as representatives from the United
States.
' The president has baon authorized , In behalf -
half of tno United States , to Invlto thu gov
ernments with which wo maintain diplomatic
relation to send representatives to this Inter
national coneross ; and he should bo in
structed to Inform such governments that the
government of the United States earnestly
desires to secure uniform systems of coinage
and of weights and measures , to bo adopted
thereafter by all commercial nations In order
to facilitate , so far us poislblo , exchanges of
commodities and to simplify monetary trans
actions : that tha government doslios an
international agreement as to the relations
which should bo maintained bolwooii gold
and silver , and that. In order to secure this
and iho uniformity as to weights and
measuios on earnest effort should bo made by
the respective covnrninents of iho world.
Tba president should ba further Instructed to
call the attention of all covernmonts with
whom wo maintain diplomatic relations td
tha great advantage which would accrue by
tbo adoption of such uniform systems , nnd
that the government of the United State *
wilt wait with deepest concern the delibera
tions nnd tbo conclusions that may bo
reached by an International congress with
tuo earnest hone that tbolr efforts may bo
crowned'wlth success.
Will Not Illnil Ameilcn.
"Ho should further be authorized to Inform

of tnis country , tbo law making power
of the United States will Ifeol nt liberty
to adopt Mich moahurcft in rofofooco to the

"If International agroatnont could bo

such agreements could meet the approval nt
even some of thu loading nations of the earth
this would bo tbs eroatait of the coutury.
But If none of such ngroamonts could bo

"Tno democratic party , " concluded Mr.
Springer , "Is n party of the people. It bo-
lloves in meeting every great question , dls-
cusai-g It nnd settling it alter the fullest
discussion possible upon such basis as
will best conserve too best Interests

most importance that when the nllvor
question Is settled , II bo .settled rightlv. And
nil will concede thai if il bo possible to ob

based upon such agreement would be the

Waiting on the House ,
Tbo Fifty-second congress is now in the
second month of its cxistqiico , yet ; It has not
materially advanced any legislation , nor is
tbo present week llkolv to Work any change
in this particular. Tin- senate i.s waiting on
the house , through which , the appropriation
bills must originate , nndin the absence of
rules conferring the necessary authority the
house committees are unublo to report
any measures. On the [ calendars of the
senate there is nothing ot general
interest , unless thq , old Weil
and la Abra bills may bo thus characterized ,
nnd there Is llttlo prospects' ropbrts coining
from committees nt nn curly day in the week
so that beyond listening to speeches and con
sidering nominations in executive session
th-jro will llttlo for the sgnato to do.
Situation in the ITougn.
The house has nn program for business for
tills week. It Is still embarked on Iho sen of
"general parliamentary practice , " nnd
until a code of rules Is framed ,
the course of proceedings will depend -
pond upon the conditions , thai arise
from day to any. The committees have as
yet done nothing moro than , to affect nn or
ganization , so that it U unlikely that any
measure will be on Iho housa calendars In
season for action before tho'noxt week. .
Under the temporary 9rdor of the homo
rondo to facilitate business pnor to the

COUNTRY EDITORS ARE TO BE PROTECTED.

Congress by n IttprmeututUo Wliu
All the Won of 11 Pre
carious Existence.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jan. 10. [ Special to
Tan Dr.E.J The cause of the country editor
will bo plnaded In this congress by Congress
man Owen bentt of Illinois , Congressman
Scott was formerly editor of the Uloomlng-
ton , 111. , Bulletin , dally nnd weakly , on
tinted paper. Congressman Scott conducted
a Job department iu connection with his
newspaper , and Incidentally discovered that
strongest competitor was Uncle Sam , who ,
conforming to mi act of congress old and
timeworn , engages In printing what is
known as "special request" envelopes , Those
envelopes contain the customary return di
rections , and In many cases form a neat little
business card In the upper left hand corner
of the envelope.
The act which authorizes the printing of
these envelopes prohibits the printing of a
business advertisement , or anything more
than is absolutely necessary for an adequate
return notice. But of late years tun Post-
office department 1ms been climbing over this
barrier ana in roalitv putting business cards
on those envelopes , us in the following ox-
umulo : "Return to John Brown Drug
Co. , Piedmont , Mo. " Now , it is hold
to bo n violation of the act to
print the card like the following :
"Heturn to John Brown , Druggist , Piedmont ,
Mo. , " but by adopting the former plan and
merging the business ana address Into the
title of the linn the losal obstacle is over
come.
Undo Sain Is Unfair.
Uncle Sam really engages In the business
of turning out business onvolopjs in direct
compsttllou with all the job printing oillces
In the country. He is also an unfair com
petitor , because ho prints thorn at the actual
cost of putting out ordinary stamped
envelopes , and while gaining no profit for
the government robs the printer of his living
profits.
CongiossTian " . "lit w'ill introduce a hill in
the house in a few days prohibiting tbo Post-
ofllco department from piinlluz envelopes
and engaging in business In competition with
private tlrms. A similar bill \va s Introduced
in the senate a few years ago at the instance
of the typographical unions of the csuntry
end was put to sleep In committee.
"This proposition is buncomo , " said the
thira asssstant postmaster general this
morning. "Tho fai't is the liw was enacted
solely toocuro the prompt return of mls-
carrfod letters , and for no other nurposo , nnd
by nutting out these envelopes for the same
price wo do stampsd envelopes "we insure the
moro general use of the return card and
greatly facilitate the mail sorvica. The law
whiehjiuithorizss tbo printing of those en
velopes prohibits the department from
charging moro than the actual cost of print
ing and delivering them , so wo are then in
no sense a competitor of tha job printers. In
fact , there are only thirteen persons em
ployed In the wo k. "
These envelopes nra not printed at the
Po t6lllco department but for ton years past
the contract has boon lot out to a firm at
, Hartford , Conn.
How the Iliislncss I Tun Groit'it.
Ttio business has grown stoidllv slnco 1835
until last year tlio jrovcrnni in pat outibt- ,
74l.f > iX ) of these special request envelopes ,
which wus moro than half of all the stamped
envelopes sold.
Itis needless to add thit Congressman
Owan Scott will oppo3U with might and
main the project of I'oitmaster General
VVanamaker for cheaper postage. The post
master general believes that , the tune has
net cam ? for penny poatago , but that u step
in thai direction may bo taken bv furnishing
stamped envelopes at the face value of the
stamps , thus making the envelope ) free.
This would give Uncle Sam a monopoly of
the envelope trade. The stampos are made
on the envelopes at the same time tha latter
are mad * and the sacrifice to the government
uould not bo groat.

Justice Brewer of the United States court
shartiB of the homely practical.Kansas views
which have put the farmers alliance In pos
session of that state , and have clevalod such
men as Poffer nnd Simpson to congress.
Justice Browcr U as much opposed to
corporations , monopolies and trusts as tbo
most , radical labor agitator. Ho is not-op
posed to their having their full Joeal rights ,
but ha believes they have much moro than
their rights , and are constantly don } ing the
public thjfrjuit duos. In this respect Jus
tice Drawer differs with most of his asso
ciates on the supreme bench. During the
last week he has given ovidenoe , during the
hearing of two railroad cases , of his views
that the law has been distorted until the
rights of the railroads wore secured , but tha
rights of the public were ignored.
One ot the cases was an appeal of the
Grand Trunk railroad from the verdict of
f > , OOJ damage secured by the representatives
of Elijah Smith , of Detroit. Smith was
killed while driving along the Holdon road
north of Detroit and the point where the
Grand Trunk crosses the road. To show the
supreme justices Just how the accident oc
curred a large chart of the Northern Holdon
road had been set up In the mldplo of tbo
court room. The attorney for the railroad
pointed out how Smith came along the road
una drove on tuo tracxs without tuning tno
usual precaution of looking out for an approaching
preaching train.
Protection fur tlin Public.
"This was contributory negligence , " said
the attorney , " ( or Smith ought to have
halted before ho reached the tracks to BOO
that no train was approaching from behind
the obstruction of trees nnd bushcs.it This
lack of vlgllauco seemed to impress the jus
tices , with the oxccdtlon of Brewer , who
was not impressed at all.
"On your own statement , " interrupted
Justice Brewer , "is it not clear that the ob
structions to the view at the point where tba
rouil crosses the tracks makes it all the moro
obligatory upon the railroads to put u flag
man at that point to protect human Ufa ) "
This broka the argument right in tba
middle nnd there had to be u pause for re
pairs. The attoruoy explained , howevtT ,
that "that-was another branch of the case. "
It certainly was another branch , but the In
cident showed the drift of Justice Beowor's
viuws or. the relations of the railroads to the
public.

Victims of HcAlrnter Mining Accident
I.ald to Host Moro Deaths.
MoALKSTKii , I. T. Jan. 10. This was a d y
of mourning at Krotxs , the tcono of the recent -
cent mining disaster In which so many men
lost their lives. The funerals of most of tbo
vltlmi , whoso bodies have been recovered ,
were hold today. There were no religious
services excepting In u few cases , and ths
only ceremony observed la connection with
the funerals was that of the secret organiza
tions of which most of the victims wera
members. 1-1 ftoon of the dead bodies were
burled yostordav. All tha colUus available
then were used , and tha other burlnU were
delayed until today , when oolllns were re
ceived by express from the nearest
towns in the neighborhood. The rns-
kots were of the simplest plno variety
nnd were furnished bv the mining companv.
There was only ono hoar.io In the town of
Krobs. so that it was necossoiy to use every
sort of vehicle to oouvoy the bodies to the
cemetery. Ordinary lumber wagons were
the greatest In number , and in some oases
dumping carts from the mines were brought
into requisition.
The funeral1 ! took place at 10 o'clock this
morning , thirty-seven bodies being placed
under the ground. The graves of the Iden-
tilled dead were marked by plain headstones
of wood , with the names nnd ntos of the
victims printed upon them. The unidenti
fied were placed In graves by number. Their
clothes found upon them and the contents
of their pockets were retained by the mining
odlcmls and arc all markoa with numbers
corresponding to their respective numbers of
the graves for the purpose of iutura idonti-
tlcatlon.
Death addoa tliroo moro victims to the list
of killed todav , making the total number
fifty-eight. A canvass among the physicians
attending the injured discloses the fact that
the deaths of seventeen moro of tho. injured
nro likely to occur within the next twenty-
four hours. Those who died today were S.
Powell , Albert Arllngor 'and Emanuel
Lorenzo.
TUa , rescumc parties discontinued their
work today ill noon , having satisfied them
selves thai there were no moro bodloi buried
in the debris. They nro also satisfied that
there are none of their comrades confined
within the chambers of the mine. Every
pllo of debris was thoroughlv searched und
every gallery and chamber invcstientod. No
moro bodies were found and no signs of llfo
were found.
The Joint committee of minors and mine
ofllcials will begin tomorrow oftlelal Inquiry

do not believe that it would in the slightest

belinvo that 'rco coinage would be disastrous
to them. The people of Texas , at least ,
many of them , think It would bo a great

are groundless. If wo persist In the agita
