the next fiscal year will nearly reach the enormous iam of $:.0O.0Oi),0uQ. The work of compiling the figures is, howeter, sufliciently advanced to show tbat this estimate is in excess of tbo actual requirementa. 5-ince the passage of the disability hill there haa leen a rapid increase in the amount needed to pay the pensions. For the year lh'JQ-Ql the total appropriation on account of pensions was about fli5.000.CO0. Last year there was an increase to $14l,UO,C0a Dot, as General Kaum will state, in his report, this amount fell short of the actual demands by about $ 18.000,000, so that there is a deficiency of that amount. Concress will be asked to make an appropriation of about ? 10.(00. ttX) lor the comintr fiscal year, about $1000,000 of wbich is in anticipation of an increase of that amount over the actual expenditures of the Just year. It is the judgment of General Kaum that, while this amount is likely to be increased for the next year or two. .yet ho feels confident that the maximnnv limits are nearly reached. It is argued that the ere it bulk of the pension aporopriation at present is need in makiuir tirnt payments, carrying arrearg, aDd. therefore, as soon as the great rash of application under the disability act is over, a rapid decline in tirst payments will occur. It is understood that the tirat payments last year aggregated over $o0.000,(XX), which covered the back pay in the eil.000 cases allowed. The Secretary of the Treasury has received the estimates of expenses for the ensuing fiscal year from nrly all the executive departments, and will bave them in shape in time for transmission to Conpress at the beitinning of tbe session. In pursuance of a general plan these estimates have been reduced to the lowest possible figure consistent with the requirements of the service as Tiewed by the present officials. It is said to be the purpose of the administration to avoid any warrant for a charge of extravagance in the recommendations. The estimates for pensions will probably be unofficially furnished tbe appropriations committee before the end of this week. MINOR MATTE 113.

The attention of Superintendent liosbyahell, of the United States mint at Philadelphia, was to-day called to a statement that he bad delivered several of the world's fair sonvenir halfdollars to a member of the world's fair commission, and that this act was in viola tion of the act providing for their coinage.

Mraiares Democrats Will Posh. Special to tbe Indianapolis JonrnaL . Washington. Nov. 21. It is believed that tho anti-option bill will be pushed to a linal passage at tbe coming session of Congress. Democrats In the House say tbey will send to the Senate at an early stage of the session this winter a bill repealing the tax on national-bank currency. They think they will put the Kepublicans in an embarrassing position. If the Republicans pass tbe bill Democrats hold that it will be a prscedent for their repeal of the State-hank tax. There is no relationship to the two propositions. Republicans obJ'ect to the repeal of tbe btate-bank-tax aw because money issued by State banks is made a fraud and swindles holders of that currency. , General Nettleton Retires. Washington, Nov. 21.

WANT TIIE STATE DIVIDED

Kansas Politicians and tho Prc?s Stirred Up Over a New Question. Division of the State Advocated Because the Sf ctions Cannot Live in Harmony Chance for a Republican to Be Chosen Senator. LATEST KANSAS FREAK. People or All Parties Reported to Favor a Division of the Ntate. Topeka, Kan., ov. 21. The aeitation of a new question is now stirring political circles. It is the division of the State into two equal halves. The discussion of the question baa been goiug on over since election in a nniet way. but now the newspapers have taken it up and are antuinff it with more or less vehemence. The Kepublicans of tbe west half of the State favor the proposition, for that section of the State is stronaly Kepnblican. while those of tbe east oppose it because the division would make that half anti-Republican. Tbe Demo crats generally favor, the division, for the reason that in the event of the death of the People's party they would be in con trol the eastern half, where all the large cities are located, and where their majorities are. Aside from political reasons there are many good grounds for tho division. Tbe two halves of tbe State have entirely dissimilar interests. The eastern bjlf is metropolitan and largely inter ested in manufactures, while the western half is given on toagricnlture. Thecliinate of the two regions isdiilerent ana their Eeopleare separate classes. Finally, each alt is dissatisfied with the other on political and business grounds, and nan never live in barmonv with one another, it is probable that steps may be taken this winter to secure the divisiou of the State. Kansas May Choose a Republican Senator. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 21. The spectacle of a Democrat in the Speaker's chair of the Kansas Legislature is not an improbability. There will be but three Democrats in the body and they will hold the balance of power. It is Bern i-oflici ally announced here that the Democratio candidate will open headquarters in a day or two and make tbe race for Speaker. His name is Joseph Rosenthal, and be is a banker at Santa Fe. Haskell county. A dicker with the Kepublicans is reported, by the torms of which Rosenthal proposes to help them organize the House. Ho thinks that tho contest can be made successfully. . This would mean a Republican successor to Senator 1'erkius. Rosenthal opposed fusion. Otliciui returns show that the Kansas Legislature on the clay of its organization will stand as follows: Senate People's oarty, 5; Republicans. 15. House Republicans, tiL'; People's party. 5S; Democrats, S; Independent Republican-Populist. 1; It requires sixty-three votes to organize tbe House. Tbe Republicans are one short of a majority and the Populists live. The three Democrats belong to the straisht Democratic taction, and it is expected tbey will act with the Republicans on organization. If they do the Republican candidate from tbe tied district will be seated. This will give tho Republicans a majority of eitrbt in tbe House, and tbe Populists a ma jority of ten in tbe Senate. Several con tests have been made by the Republican candidates for tbe House, so that it ia probable that tbe Republicans will have a clear majority on joint ballot if they succeed in organizing the House. ta-MH8j0SaBMMPMw f TVASnOCKN INDIGNANT. He Accuses Bolter Macune of Lying About the FarBirt Alliance. New Orleans, Nov. 2L George F. Washburn, chairman of the Eastern division national committee of the People's party, says: "1 pronounce Dr. Macune's manifesto, published in last Sunday's newspapers, to be absolutely incorrect in every particular wherein it relates to Mr. Tanbeneok or myself. First, at Indianapolis we were eminently successful in every undertaking, wero not defeated in a single in stance ana never have been aince, much to the diecointiture of Dr. Macuue and his friends; second. I positively denied tbe St. Louis interview alleged to have been held by Mr. Macune, published in bisown paper (the Economist) last Friday, and be snows it is not true that Mr. Tanbeneck and myself made np a slate or controlled the election of delegates in selecting otlicers for the Farmers' Alliance. The newspapers of Memphis, as well as citizens in general, discussed daily the merits of the rival candidates. We merely exercised the same right. Dr. Macune was not defeated through our influence, but because of hia own record. He has appealed to every natioual convention the Farmers' Alliance lias had, askiug for vindication of something improper be was charged with having done. It is rule or rnin with him. and ho now understands be cannot do either with the Alliauce." Simply n Popnllte Machine. Atlanta, Gs Nov. 21. Dr. C. W. Maenne, editor of the National Economist, who was recently defeated for president of the Farmers' Alliance, is in Atlanta. He predicts the total disruption of the Alliance if at tbe national conference the Southern delegates do not attend. "The Alliance is now," he said, "simply a third party machine and will remain so for one year at least." - DOUGLASS PRINTS A CIRCULAR.

Tbe Colored Orator Evidently Ha a Good Opinion of Cleveland nnd Ilia Party. Washington, Nov. 21. Hon. Fred Douglass has received so many inquiries since the late election from members of the colored race who are anxious to learn his views as to the probable effeot of Democratio accession to power, tbat he has put his answer in the form of a printed circular, to save the labor of replying to each by letters. In this circular he expresses the opinion that those persons who have apprehended a violent change for the worse, both in the general condition of the country and in that ot the colored people, North and South, will find themselves agreeably surprised by the little difference which the change of administration will make. There will, he thinks, be made by the new admiuistration no disastrous assault upon the enterprise, iudustry and welfare ot the country. The Democrats will, Mr. DougJars believes, endeavor to overhaul the tariff, and in some cases chanacs will be made, but tbe principle of protection will be neither ignored nor abandoned. As to tbe etteet of the election of Mr. Cleveland upou tbe condition of the colored people of tbe South. Mr. Douglnes says that be has his fears as well as his hopes, 'lt ia bard." he says, "to tell what will happen. One thing 1 may with safety say. It is this: It will be very hard to make the condition of the negro in the South much worse than it is now, and has been during the present administration. I believe that the President-elect will see and act upon the wisdom of justice, peace and good will, alike to tbe white and colored people in tbe South. I am sure that he will give no support or encouragement to lawless violence anywhere. 1 say this because I know tbe man. and that he stands high.ahove the meanness tbat would strike down any becanse they are weak, unpopular and defenseless." Cleveland ltebnfied by Murphy. Nr.w YortK. Nov. 21. The Tribune says: 'While Kdward Murphy, jr., was in New York last week Mr. Cleveland sent for him and requested him to withdraw as a candidate for United States Seuator. It may not astonish anybody who is conversant with the situation to learn that Mr. Murphy declined to grant Mr. Cleveland's request, and that the atmosphere of the room In which tbey conversed went down several degrees. Mr. Cleveland's positive choice for Mr. Hill's colleague in the United States Senate is known to few persons,

bnt a prominent New Tor Democrat, who is believed to have specially good means of getting his information. aid yesterday tbat among bis select circle of intimate friends the President-elect made no secret of his desire to bave William C. Whitney there." Mr. Murphy is a candidate for United States Senator. This is authentic. When asked if he would be a candidate, this evening he replied: Yon can eay f bat I am a csndidate. and that I will continue to be a candidate." Fnrthcr than this declaration he was disinclined to talk. Arkansas Election-Law Violators Indicted. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 21.

James O. Field, Popnlite candidate for Vice-president, has written a letter to General Weaver in which he reviews the result of the late election. The faot that one million votes were polled for the People's party in the face of certain defeat he regards as encouraging. The poor showing in the South be ascribes to a combination of unfavorable circumstances, among them tbe force lull and race prejudice. The Northwest is congratulated on its grand victory. ELEVEN MINERS MANGLED Two Killed, Two Fatally Injured and Seven Maimed and Badly Bnrncd. Twenty-Five Kcs of Plastinc Powder Explode in tbfe Blanch Coal Pit Near StentenYilleX with Frijrbtfol Effect-. Stkpbenvillk, O., Nov. 21. At the Ulanch mine, of the Wnst End colliery, twenty-five kegs of blasting powder exploded with a frightful roar and deadly consequences at 12:15 o'clock this afternoon. Bad as it is, it was providential that the explosion did not ooour ten minutes later, or every home at the Blanch mine would have been mourning its dead to-night. The explosion was caused by a fizzing fuse throwing fire into a miner's powder can, tbe explosion of which tired others, until tbe volume of Uame was sufficient to explode the whele stock .of loose powder. The miner's had been losing powder by tbeft, and they kept a day's supply in boxes, which were left open at the noon hour. The men in the mine had jnst began to come in wbere tbe powder waa stored. and in a few minutes more most of them would have been there. A stunning explosion in the mine, a great blast of flame and smoke from tho mine's mouth, and then a roar was flung out to the country road thattoldonly too well that tbere was diatb and disaster at tbe mine. The scene that followed cannot be told in words. The women who had b a abend brothers, sons or sweethearts in the smoking pit were frantic 'Crowds came swarming to toe mine's moutb, just as tbey dropped their work or left their table, their faces white with dread, and tbe one eager inquiry on every lip: "Who's in tho mine!" Wives and mothers were tbre. tearfully imploring tbe men to go in wbere all knew tbat death lurked in the air. either to rescue those who were not past rescue, or learn tbe worst at once. Aa soon as tbey had time to recover from the shock the mine-boss and a squad of brave fellows took their chances on the bad air nnd went in. Soon tbe rescue party appeared, hearing the-following scared and mutilated viotims of the explosion: JOHN PRA8KY, dead. WK8LEY ANDERSON, colored, dead. Michael Ciiokek, fatally wounded. Wm. Anderson, colored, lejra broken, b!p dislocated, face torn and otherwise dreadfully mutilated. Will die. lie was Koln? Into the luiue when the powder exploded, and it blew him fifty feet along tbe drift and over a trestle. John Anderson, colored, blown alone the drift and his bead wedged under a coal car, may recover. Lawrence Cxmpeell, burned about tbe arms and bead. John Zagino. burned about the arms, back and head. Sent to Plttsbunr to the hospital. Ed Cook, of Cleveland, burned eo that he will die. John Gillespie, of Akron, O., badly burned about the head. Matthew Wright, burned about tho arms, bead and back. (iF.oiiGK TtETERs, burned and injured internally. John Ramset, bnrned very badly about the body, but will recover. The explosion did comparatively little damage, so far as is now known, to the mine or its equipment. Tbat more ot tho miners were not suffocated was due to the prompt action of miners James Clark and James Hordon, who, when tbe big door tbat closes the drift was blown irom its fastenings, quickly placed it in position again. The works belong to L. C. Smith, of New Cumberland; William bmith and John Mr-Xuit, of Wellsville, O. Tbe mine bas been in operation since May, 1891. and lifty men wero employed there to-day. There is still one man unaccounted for in cennection with the disaster to-day, a miner named John Iiulley. . Strike ot Vuun Students. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CoLOtnus. O., Soy. 21.

Deoent people all over the' county are up in arms over the outrage, and no expense will be spared in bringiug the Ktiilty to justice.

The National Grange assembled in its fifth day's session with Overseer Davis presiding, and N. B. Douglass, of Massachusetts, as overseer.

It also urates tbe women of the grange to raise the needed funds for the errection of a temple to Ceres in Washing ton city during Columbian year. This part of the report was urged by all the com mittee. Mr. Khone submitted a supplemental report It reviewed the depressed condition of agriculture, and says a decrease of 50 per cent, in tbe value of farm lands and products in twenty-five years demands the careful consideration of the country.
