FLOODED A MINE.

An Awful Disaster Near Crystal

Weak Supports Give Way and the Michi~ gamme River Pours Into the Mansfield Shaft — Twenty-Eight 3 Miners . Perish.

DROWNED LIKE RATS.

- CrysTAL Farrs, Mich.,, Sept. 380.— With a roar and rush the waters of the ‘Michigamme river broke through the Mansfield mine shortly afte:r 9 o’clock Thursday night, drowning twentyeight of the /employes at work directly under the stream. The eighteen men who eS'aned were employed in the lower levels. The accident occurred between 9 and 10 &’clock but did not become known wuntil later. None of the bodies have been recovered and it is believed it will be necessary to divert the channel of the river before they can be secured. '

Following is a correct list of the dead:

Sam Peters, married; James Strongman, married; W. H. Pierce, married, ! Swan Johnson, Mike Harrington; Frank Rocko, Al Torresani, Frank Johnson,' Sam Johnson, Shellimo Zadra, Peter Turry, Nicelo Fontani, Charles Pohl, married; John Regula, Ole Carlson, married; Joe Kold, mar ried; John Holmstrom, Rosc. Fortimato, John Kirshe, John Randala, John Warner, Ogear Lundquist, Chris Arcangelo, Anto Stefano, August'Cologna, O. Constanti, Vigills Zadra, Celesti Negri DRibER : The Mansfield mineis situated o e banks of the Michigamme river, ‘apout 6 miles east of Crystal Falls, the egunty seat of Iron county. It has been fvorking’ between three and four years and has shipped about 60,000 tons 6f Bessemer ore. The ore lenses dipped rapidly beneath the stream and 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 first level was 35 feet below the bed of the river. The lower levels, five in number, ran parallel with the first, the sixth, or bottom level, being 428 feet below the surface of the water. In the process of mining all the levels save the sixth have been stopped out, leaving only timbers and pillars of ore to bear the weight of the floors of ore above. The generally agccpted theory ‘as to the cause of the disaster is that the timbers on the fifth level.gave way ~and allowed the levels above and at last the river to crash “down upon the fated men. : / sl

The night shift had gone down, and though. some one noticed that more water thamisual was coming into the mine no special alarm was felt, as the pumps seemed to be -able to keep the drifts free. So the work went on in its usual course until the roar of water made the first announcement of danger. 'So fast came the flood that it is doubtful if the men in the upper levels were able to reach the shaft at all. :

Most of the survivors were at work on the bottoem level, which was not stopped out, and therefore did not cave. Andrew Sullivan, a night boss, was on this level and heard the crash above. He divined what had happened and called |to his men to follow him up the ladder-way. The draft caused by the cave extinguished their lights and the men were compelled to feel their way through t&e darkness. All but four men on th's level reached the ladderway in saféty and the ascent was begun. When the men reached the fourthilevel a torrent of ‘water poured down the shaft. The.- men could proceed, but could breathe only at the landings as the several levels were reached, so great was the pressure caus'ed'?bf,the influx of water. They were nearly dead when they reached the surface. Their four comrades remained on the sixth level, their avenue of escape having been cut off by the water. . 5

Tony Buletto, the skip-tender at the fourth level, was standing mnear the shaft with Frank Roeco, a night boss, or foreman, when the first crash came. They knew what had happened and anticipated the result, but Rocco heroically refused to go up in the skip until he had warned his men of the danger imminent. He went back into the drift and perished with his comrades. Buletto came to the surface in the skip and is the only man who "went to work on thé fourth level last night left to tell the story. The scene at the mine location has been heartrending. Weeping women and crying children have erowded up to the gaping pit to view the last resting place of husband and father. The spot. has been visited by thousands of curious people throughout the day, and the tragic event is the one topic of discussion in the Lake Superior country. No specific censure of the mining company is being manifested. | MARQUETTE, Mich., Sept. 30.—John M. Longyear, of this city, is one of the chief owners of the- Mansfield mine property. He said that the land had been leased to Calhoun & Tenney, 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 ‘tearing down pillars of ore in the upper levels that should have been left to support the roof. : ; s The mine inspector of Iron county: will conduet a most rigid investigation to ascertain the cause of the disaster a$ the Mansfield mine. :

THE SILVER DEBATE.

Synopsis of the Discussion in the United .1 | States Senate. '

On the 25th Mr. Stewart (rep., Nev.) arraigned President Cleveland for alieged violation of the.constitution in seeking to infiuence ~ the legislative devartment of the government, - speaking of his resolution declaring that *‘the ' independence of the coordinate departments of the government must be maintained and that | the use of the power and influence of one department to control the action of another isin violation of the constitution and destructive to our form of government.” ; Mr. Stewart began with a citation of the - president’s speech on the occasion of comnfem- ' orating the hundredth anniversary of the lay- . Ing of the corner stone of the capitol. This - speech had been made by a president having ;‘ more than 100,000 federal officers to dispose of - and with a Veto power which had been de- | signed only for extraordinary occasions, backed . by concentrated capital and encouraged and flattered by a venal press, He described Mr. f Cleveland orn that occasion as turning his - face toward the senate wing of the capitol and . in sngry and menacing tones using the follow- | ing language: “If the representatives who j here assemble to make laws for their fellow- | countrymen forget the duty of broad and disin- | terested patriotism, and legislate in prejudice | and passion, or in behalt of sectional or selfish l interests, the time when the corner stone of the | capitol was laid and the circumstances sur- | rounding ‘it will not be worthy of commemo- , rating.” : y l ‘This declaration, Mr. Stewart said, had been cheered and encouraged by a thoughtless multi- ! tude and construed by a venal press as a re- §‘ buke to the senate. & s

_He chargéd that the president, in disregard -of his oagh of office to execute thelaws, had ! permitted the secretary of the-treasury to violate the order which made the purchase ,of . 4,500,000 ounces of silver bullion per month .mandatory, by exercising’'an unlawful discre- | tion in purchasing a smaller amount. | He said the president of the United States. ' had no exalted opinion of the senate or the | house. 'He regarded it, doubtless, as an ap- | pendage to the executive department. = Senator | Stewart then read from a letter written ’ by the president accepting an invitaticn to attend the centennial celebration of Wil- | liams ' college, in which he said he soon | expected to “have a session of congress ion his hands.” “A session of congress | on my hands,” repeated Senator Stewart, in | simnlated seriousness. “That remark spoke | volumes in interpreting how . the president regarded the coordinate branches of the governI ment. Would a man who fully appreciated the | responsibility of his office even by accident | makßke the remark that'congreés would ‘be on l his hands?” Congress has assembled as an ini dependent branc¢h of the government, and was | on nobody’s hands.” | Mr. Stewart yielded the floor to Mr. Cameron ! (rep., Pa.), who made a speech in which he inI dieated that if the silver people are driven to the wall by the tariff-reformers they will never | permit a tariff bill to pass the senate. He l urged that there ought to be no attack ! upon the industries of ope state or section, for if this was. insisted 'upon the ‘ result would be a situation. in which { there could be no legislation in the senate | without unanimous consent. In concluding his | remarks, Mr. Cameron said: “My propositions j are these: I propose a gold loan of so many hundred million dollars as congress may deI cide to be bought at the market rate and held { in the treasury as the gold reserve ‘lB held in ‘ the bank of France and by the governments of i the Latin union. I propose 1o open our mints ‘ to the free coinage of American silver, imposing a duty on the import of foreign silver. | I propose, further, to repesl the tax on state ! bank cir_culation. I would also press once more ‘ for actien in favor of our shipping. To nmieet in { part the deficit in our income tax for next year | I would reimpose the duty of two cents a pound . on sugar and repeal the bounty. Then I would | wait a year to see how the system worked and i how far we were affected by foreign influence.” { Mr. Bate (dem., Tenn.) denied the claim that . the Sherman law was responsible for the | stringency, and said. that the real cause of the | trouble was the republican tariff. That was | the real issue of the last national campaign, | and the democrats had made a mistake in not i pushing tariff reform with the same vigor { they had manifested to repeal the silver pur- + chase law.

Mr. Stewart again took the floor. He criticised the use of the word “intrinsic” as applied by the president to the value of gold and silver, and said that the president did not know what he was talking about. He read from newspapers various articles as to the attitude of the | president, finally coming to the published telegram from the president to Chairman Wilson, . of the ways and means committee, congratulating him -on the passage through the house of the repeal bill. In the Hundred odd years of American independence, said Mr. Stewart, there was no precedence for such action. It seemed from that dispatch, he said, that the president regarded congress as his servant, and was thanking it as a good and faithful servant for doing his bidding. On the 26th, after Mr. Perkins (rep., Cal.) had make his maiden speech, taking sides with the repeal bill, and declaring himself a sincere believer in the use and coinage of both gold and silver, Mr. Stewart resumed the floor. He read from a paper an article on the president’s.alleged rebuke to the senate. e Mr. Palmer (dem., Ill.) wanted to know if it were consistent with the proper .relations between the senate and the president to read in the senate grave charges against the executive for' which he (Senator Stewart) would not be responsible. Mr. Stewart replied that it was consistent for him as a senator to defend the senaté when the press said the president was rebuking the senate and calling senators criminals. / e . In a running debate that followed Mr. Stewart said let the president’s friends deny that he (the president) had used patronage to control legislation. Mr. Palmer retaliated by say, ing that if the senatdr (Stewart) would indicate any senator or representative ‘(\md charge him with being thus influenced by executlve patronage he (Palmer). would deny it and then vote for an investigation. Mr. Stewart closed his speech for the day with a passionate indictment of England as a monster that stalked through the country, breaking down the interests of seven states and territories; that claimed to direct the legislati@n of congress, and whose voice had been ‘heard last week on the east front of the capitol rebuking the senators. ~ Mr. Morgan (dem., Ala.) rose to a personal explanation, and, touching the president’s words at the capitol, said he did not construe the remarks as a rebuke to either house of congress. He denied that he entertained personal and political enmity towards Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Voorhees (dem., Ind.) said he desired to account for the attitude of. silence observed on the democratic side of the chamber in the face of the assault. It was that it had mot been thought necessary to say a single word in defense of Mr. Cleveland from the time he was born in New Jersey up to the present hour. :On his side of the chamber, and (he had reason ‘to believe) on the . other side of the chamber, and all over the country Mr. Cleveland’s defense had been fully made by the American people themselves. He ventured to say that in American history the career of Grover Cleveland, his character, his achievements, his honor, his patriotism and his abilities ~would stand in the foremost lipe in spite of all ‘the agsaults which had been mipde. Whether senators differed from Mr. Cleveland, or agreed with him; nobody failed fo recognize his stal‘wart and powerful character and his high in ‘tegrity. He hoped that this little tribute would be taken as sufficient to account for the fact

that the democratic side of the chamber would not feel called upon to enter upon any defense of the president unless something far more important was charged :irlnst him than had been charged up to this ti . : On the 27th the resolution offered by Mr. Du_bois (rep:, Idaho) to postpone action on finan: cial, tariff and federal election measures until next January was taken up, and Mr. Dubois made an argument in its support. L ~ Messrs. Mitchell (rep., Ore.) and Chandler - (rep., N. H.) opposed the measure. - 3 Mr. Wolcatt (rep., Col.), in the course of his remarks in faver of postponement, referred to Mr. Gorman (dem., Md.) as the leader of the steering committee, in terms which the latter evidently considered offensive. ~ Mr. Gorman declared it was plain to every‘body that the resolution under discussion was

merely for the purpose of filling up the time of the morning hour; that .could not be denied. He then took ‘up the scehes of the last few days and said that the _history of the senaté could show no paraliel "He said “the ichief actors in ‘them are doing much to: belittle this.great body and bring it down to the level of a county convention or a meeting of some city council. Ibelieve that the time 4yill: come, and speedily, when the chief actors will regrét the part' they have played and make atonement.” He wanted to know if Mr. Wolcott referred to him as of the steéring comiitgse. - o b 0 Mr. Wolcott said he had heard there was a steering committee, and that Senator Gorman ‘wos the democratic head and Senator Aldrich ita republican. * R L Mr, Gorman. then said he had “been & member ot this DoAY 10F ovep welrs peart: Binde't boy ﬁemxmocﬁom@aﬂuwmml ‘have seen ‘soénes enncted ih’ which &1l the

greatest senators that have lived took part The vital interests of the country have been involved. Bu& this is the first time I have ever | ‘seen o ‘senator who has listened at the key- . ‘holes of committee-room doors or received his information from eavesdroppers tell the senate | of what took place and what was said at pri_vate conferences.” Continuing he said: “lam " not the mouthpiece of the president, but I cannot allow the assertion that he used his patronage to influence congressional action go by ! without declaring that there has been no occu- | pant of the executive mansion who has, in the ' administration of his office and the distribution ' of patronage, been so careful to avoid any action that might be construed as an attempt to swerve congress from its legitimate courge. He - has been so careful that he has scarcely done . his party justice.” - : | Mr. Aldrich (rep, R. L) denied that he at | any time had undertaken in any conference to l represent anybody but himself. He intended hereafter, speaking'upon his responsibility as | a senator and as the representative of a state, | to cooperate with the senator from Maryland, oi* any.senator who would save the senate from further humiliation, if possible, in the eyes of the American people. e Mr. Wolcott replied to Mr. Gorman’s remarks. He said he had not cast the slightest reflection upon that senator by intent or otherwise. What rankled in his mind was that he had been characterized as one of ‘a sleering committee, but he (Wolcott) had not named him. If the senator was a ‘‘steerer” he ought not to have objected to a reference to that fact. He would: not have risen to reply to the senator had it not been for the fact that he had seen fit to suggest that he (Wolcott) had listened at committee-room | doors, and he had been followed by his faithful ally and pupil, the senator from Rhode Island,. with the same intimation. - - . .

Mr. Gorman stated that he had'said that the senator (Wolcott) obtained his information from eavesdroppers who listened at the door. o “I understood,” Mr. - Woloott persisted,.'the sénator to intimate that I had listened at com-mittee-room doors.” Nobody knows better than he that I would scorn a dishonorable method or dishonorable means. lam glad he now says thathedid not say so.” S Mr. Wolcott closed with a passionate appeal on behalf of the silver-producing states, and the Dubois resolution went on the calendar. «

Mr. Pasco (dem., F'la.) spoke on the repeal ] bill. He argued against unconditional repeal, | but also opposed an obstructive policy. & | Mr. Tellér (rep., Col.) said the criticism that ‘had been made on the president had not been a personal assault. -It was an official criticism of official acts; and if the doctrine were to prevail here that a senator, was not to criticise official conduct there would be an end to this coun-try-of free government. If Mr. Cleveland were an unpopular president his encroachments would do no harm. Harm came in this case from the fact that the people were willing to trust him. e © On the 28th Mr. Peffer (pop., Kan.) sentto the desk and had read the letter of the president to Gov. Northen, of Georgia. The letter did not dissipategsaid Mr. Peffer, the confusion in the public mind as to the president’s real opinion on the monetary question. He might be a monometallist; he might be a bimetallist; but there was nothing in the president’s letter ‘to show what kind of a metallist he was. Mr. Peffer said there was but one thing the president insisted wupon .and that was the repeal of the Sherman law. While pretending to be a bimetallist. as a number of senators pretended to be; while pretending that he favored the use of gold and silver, the president made it plain if anything in the letter was plain that he would measure by a gold standard, wheréas the history of the country has been just the reverse. Gold had been measured by the silver standard, and Mr. Peffer insisted that the system had not been changed so far as concerned the law. He said his amendment, which is the pending one, would give the country bimetallism. v Mr. Peffer declared that ‘‘whenever the administration, represented by its friends upon this floor, are ready to accept the pending ‘amendment or some other amendment which will brihg about the restoration of the law of 1837, they can pass the repeal bill in twenty‘five minutes.. I do not believe there is a senator here who would -care. to say one word more if only the chairman of the committee on finance would ix&ﬁ)ca.be to us that he was ready to accept that mpromise. Then he could shake hands across the bloody chasm, pass the bill and take a rest for a week or two." Speaking for myself and the people I represent, that is the only compromise we offer or will accept. Anything less than that would be a surrender.” 2 . : }

Before he reached the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Beffer said, while'hé was willing to. continue with his speech in the evening and to address the senate till sunrise, he did not desire to exhaust-the patience of the senate By asking the senators to remain longer than they v?hed to. An executive s?ion was then héld. 7 : !

On ‘the 29th ult. Mr. Harris (dem., Ténn.) spoke against repeal. He favored the coinage of the entire American product of silver, at any ratio to be agreed upon, saying that that of sixteen to one would be satisfactory. He said he had always understood that Senator Sherman believed and had stated that the limited coinage provided for by. the Bland-Allison act would bring the United States to a silver standard and drive gold out of the country. Mr. Sherman replied that he believed, as he always had, that the continued purchase of silver, either under the.Bland-Allison act or the act of 1890, without limitation, unquestionably would bring the country to a time when gold: would disappear from circulation and silver would be the only standard. The free coinage of silver, in 'his opinion, would result in a silver standard. The act of 1890 would tend in the same | direction, and in time would undoubtedly bring the country to a single silver standard. Therefore he favored the abandonment of the system. He (Sherman) thought the coinage of from two to four millions per month would have that effect also. At the close of his speech Mr. Harris expressed himself ready to accept ‘any fair and honorable compromise, but said that -he would vote against unconditional repeal. : ¢ Mr. Morgan (dem., Ala.) declared himself opposed to repeal and ridiculed the proposition of an international agreement governing the coinage of silver, and made an argument ir faver of the constitutional rights of the people. He said we are told even by the president of the United States, that:functions of congress for the regulation of money cannot be properly exercised, and ought not to be exercised in these chambers, except in concert with some foreign -powers. That is the proposition. We are told that we cannot exercise it wisely or justly until we have obtained the consent of some foreign power. If that propositioa is true then we might just as well declare we are not a government and that we have not got the power, under the constitution of.the United States, for taking .care’ of the important and serrious interests gf the people. We might just as well declare, so far as this particular debate is concerned, and so far as the influences and considerations that operate in this chamber as a pressure upon us are concerned, that we have never accomplished our independence of Greaf Britain. If it be true that we still consult Great Britain, that we must still act in harmony.with her, that we cannot legislate for our people till we get' her consent for a certain measure, then we have -not achieved our independence; and perhaps it was a mistake that we ever made the effort. ‘“‘That idle dream of international unity in regard to ‘this matter,” said Mr. Morgan, ‘‘can be realized only in the fervid imagination of every enthusiastic statesman.”’ S 3 .
