Send Their Views to the House—They Take Kxoep Ion to Most of tho Suggestions Made by the Majority Report.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—The minority report of the republican members of the ways and means committee was made to the house yesterday. When congress reassembles Chairman Wilson will open the debate on the proposed legislation and will be followed by Mr. Burrows on behalf of the minority. A notification has been served upon Gen. Black that he would be expected to address the house on the subject among the earliest talkers, and to hold himself in readiness accordingly.

Outside -of the members o£ the ways and means committee no definite plan of debate or how long it will continue has yet been agreed upon. It is the expectation, however, that debate will continue at least until after the middle of February, and possibly longer, although Chairman Wilson has advocated a shorter period for talk. The house has agreed to call up the tariff bill Jan. 3.

The report declares in favor of the policy of protection and says the democratic platform is utterly wrong and indefensible and the cause of the present depression of business. The admission of "free raw materials"' is denounced as a delusive advantage to some sections of the country and a detriment to others. Regarding free wool the report says: "If the woolens of America need, as this bill assumes, 30 and 40 per cent to enable them to 'have a fair chance in our own markets, where is the unlimited foreign trade which awaits them in countries where they are stripped of the 30 and 40 per cent protection and obliged to pay freight and all other charges and fight business connections existing for scores of years?"

The system of imposing ad valorem duties is declared impracticable, inasmuch as prices are largely a matter of opinion and impossible to determine. On this point it says: "So great liave been the objection in actual America,n practice to the ad valorem duties that among the names which can be cited against it are some'of the most illustrious in American history, Hamilton, Gallatin, Crawford, Webster, and Van Uuren, with Buchanan and Daniel Manning. Such, too, has been the experience of all other nations, and their tariff bills show such an exclusion of ad valorem duties as makes even the act of 1890 seem objectionable on that very account."

Another serious objection to the bill, according to the report, is the enormous deficit certain to be caused, coming as it does upon an already depleted treasury. How this deficit is to be made up is as yet uncertain.

The report then takes up the schedules of the bill seriatim, beginning with chemicals, and analyzes the changes made and comments on the probable-effect of these changes on the industrial future of the country.

For putting a horse in a fine healthy •Condition use Morris' English Powders 'They tone up the system, aid in diges- the bill is proposed to go into effect tion, cure loss of appetite, relieve con- the report says: "Ihe time allowed stipation, correct kidney disorders and destroy worms, giving new life to an old or over-worked horse. 25 els, per package, 5 for $1,060, Sold by Nye &

The retention of the duty 011 iron ore and wool is advocated as a vitally necessary aid to our manufacturing industries, indispensable if we would wish a continuance -of our past prosperity. With regard to the time that

by this bill is of no more service than no interval at all. The manufacturer must lose an entire season, for if he manufactures goods his loss will be greater than, though he kept his mills' closed. The terms of the bill are equivalent to an edict from the committee commanding every woolen man5 ufacturer to shut down and keep shut down until the bill becomes a law, and turning thousands of operatives into the streets."

Talking of the coul fields, vrliicii would be brought into direct competition with our own the following is said: "The products of the coal' deposits of Nova Scotia, immense in extent and richness of possible output, can be marketed in New England, if our tariff duties are stricken off, at a less cost tfian the coals of Pennsylviania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the coal from the remoter southern states. This is a matter of history. "Learning a lesson from experience a syndicate has already been formed to

operate.

Canadian fields and dispose

of their products in the Xew England market. "The Canadian coal deposits along the line of the North Pacific railroad are sufficient in area ard near enough in location to supply our northwestern states. Transportation by way of the great lakes gives foreign coals easy entry to the Mississippi valley. Foreign vessels briugingeoal as ballast to JCew Orleans and other southern ports even now compete with the coals of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. There are extensive Mexican coal mines just across the Bio Grande already opened up and coa\mines extensively operated only seventy miles away ready to furnish all the fuel Texas needs for its locomotives, steamers, factories and houses. To put coal on the free list is without reason and against reason and finds

110

semblance of defense save in

the unjustifiable desire to exploit a theory at the expense of the American people."

The minority conclude their exhaustive report by expressing their disapproval of the changes proposed in the administrative part, of the act They will have none of it.

Mr. Tarsney of the ways and means committee is talking about taxing whisky SI.50-.. per gallon, which is pretty steep, and it won't be adopted. Said jMr. Tarsnev: "It is well known

that any proposition to collect revenue from whisky will not make the money available for at least two years. Now, I will otter a plan to make the whisky tax $l..ri(i a gallon and have it go into eir'pof, in two years. That would afford an opportunity to work off present stock and apply the tax to the whisky manufactured at that time."

SENATE AND HOUSE.

Proceedings of Iloth Branches of Con-

Kress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—A small number of senators faced the vice-presi-dent yesterday, on the last day of the session before the holiday recess. As soon as the journal had been read a message from the house communicated a corrected resolution for the recess from yesterday until the 3d of January, 18114, striking out "Monday, Jan. 1, 18lt4," and inserting "Wednesday, Jan. 3, 1804."

Less than seventy-five members were on the floor when the house met at noon yesterday, numbers having already started for their homes or to spend the recess elsewhere.

Mr. Wilson gave notice in the house that on the first day after the reconvening of congress he would call-up the tariff bill.

Mr. McCreary, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, gave notice that he was assured that within ten days after the reconvening of congress two days would be granted for the consideration of the Hawaiian resolution reported from his committee today-

Mr. Boutelle gave notice that on the first day of the reconvening of congress he would call up the privileged Hawaiian resolution intr. duc.'d by him.

HAWAII RESOLUTIONS.'

Democratic Majority in the House WOi Have Its Own Way. WASHINGTON, Dec. i!2.—The lionise committee on foreign affairs has agreed to report a substitute for the Hitt Hawaiian resolution. The substitute condemns the action of Minister Stevens in Hawaii.

As soon as the journal was read in the house Mr. Boutelle of Maine, who was on his feet, sent up a resolution which he said was privileged. The speaker directed the clerk to read it. The resolution questions the authority of commissioner Blount to order the American naval representatives at Honolulu. Mr. Boutelle vainly-sought to discuss the question of his right to discuss the resolution (which was refered to the committee on naval affairs), but the speaker cut him short and said it could only be considered at this time by unanimous consent. Mr. Boutelle asked unanimous consent and Jlr. Talbot of Maryland objected.

Senator -Proctor's Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—In the senate yesterday Mr. Proctor of Vermont introduced a bill to annex the territory of Utah to the state of Nevada, and it was referred to the committee on territories.

Hoosler Democrats Anxious. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—If congress should adjourn without the nomination of a new postmaster at Indianapolis the democratic congressmen from Indiana will be disappointed. Mr. Byaum has made a charge of offensive partisanship against the present republican incumbent, Mr. Thompson.

The chief count in the charge is that on the night after the recent election Mr. Thompson decked himself out in holiday attire and, mounting to the upper deck of a tally-ho coach, rode through the streets of Indianapolis tooting upon a big tin horn in honor of the republican victory. Mr. Albert Sahn is being urged as a successor Mr. Thompson.

IN A BURNING MINE.

TWO HUNDRED MINERS HAVE A NARROW ESCAPE.

Caught in a Coal Mine at Mlnonk, 111.— The Firs Will Have to Be Allowed to Burn Itielf Out—Destitution Must

Follow.

PEOKIA. 111.. Dec. 22.—The coal mining town of Minonic, a small place in Woodford county, was yesterday afternoon the scene of a fire disaster. The mines are owned by the Miner T. Ames estate of Chicago Among the largest of the shafts is that of the Chicago and Minonk Coal Mining company, situated a mile from the main portion of the town. Three hundred men are employed and the shaft is 520 feet deep. At 4:30, while the men were all at work,George Erbland attempted light his torch. He was standing close to a large can of kerosene and as he applied the match there was a terrific explosion, sending the inflammable fluid in all directions, lirblancfs clothes ignited and he was horribly burned. The timbers used as supports in the shaft quickly caught fire, as did a number of cars standing on the track, and almost instantly the mine was a fiery furnace.

The shaft quickly filled with smoke and the 300 miners sought to make their escape. Those who were nearjest the main shaft accomplished this with comparative ease, but 200 others "were not so fortunate. They were imprisoned, and for two hours or more it seemed as of they would surely perish. News of the fire spread throughout the place, and in less than thirty minutes the shaft was surrounded with men, women and children, the families of the men, and it was with difficulty that many of them could be restrained. All the available fire apparatus of the town was brought into requisition, but it was insufficient to reach the flames. The Illinois Central rashed an engine to Eureka, a few miles distant, and borrowed hose enough. The smoke was belching from the shaft in perfect clouds. Two men started down with line hose, but before going very fair they were overcome by the smoke and had to be pulled back. The effort was renewed time after time, but with no better success. All this time the fire was spreading, and it is now burning more furiously than at any time and there is no telling where it will end. Effort was being made to get to the imprisoned miners, but there was nothing that could be done for them.

After dark they began eoming out the eseape shaft. They had succeeded in working their way through the smoke and flames, and at 9 o'clock in the evening the last man reached safety, many of them being so overcome that they could scarcely stand The loss will be heavy and the fire is a sad disaster to the town, as these miners, who are in a rather poor condition, are thrown out of work at a time when there is liable to be a great deal of suffering among them.

Eight Thousand BushelB of Wheat are Also Dunieil—Loss, 830,000. TAVISTOCK, Ontario, Dec 21.—The Tavistock Milling company's flour mill* together with 8,000 bushels of wheat, was destroyed by fire last night. Loss, 530,000 insurance, 810,000.

RED LAKE FALLS, Minn., Dec. 22.— The New England house and a store building adjoining burned yesterday. Loss. SO. 000. A servant girl in the hotel jumped from the second story. F. A. Lowe, a barber, lost 82,000 in notes and S200 in collections of old coins.

Condition of the Cotton Crop. NKW YORK, Dec. 22.—Bradstreet's report says: The 1893-'94 cotton crop report from an area comprising 95 per cent of the cotton growing section of the United

States

points to a model

picking season. As to the quality of this year's crop, the replies seem to be less favorable than in previous years, due to influences prior to the picking season. There is a general report that the movement of the crop to market is faster than last year, and the reason advanced is financial necessities of planters and refusals of banks to carry cotton as freely as in former years. A summary of the retxirns received indicates that the total crop of 18!t:t-!)4 will approximate about C, GOO, OOO bales.

"Will Not Extend the Wheel Trust. TKRKK 11 ATTIC, Ind., Dec. 21.—Crawford Fairbanks, president of the Standard Wheel company, denies a statement that at the recent meeting in Chicago plans were perfected to form a trust. He says no effort will be made to further extend the trust, the Standard Wheel company being now operated in that form. The meeting was the regular monthly meeting and members of the trust, he declares, considered'the advisability of further reducing the price of wheels.

Tax on Whisky and Cosmetics. WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.—While it has not been definitely decided to place an

the democratic members of the ways and means committee are practically unanimous on the question. Cosmetics and perfumeries are also likely to be taxed.
