says an ex- plosion ¬ ocoured in a coal mine at Ply- mouth ¬ Pa this morning and four men were badly injured HOUSE OE LORDS United States Senators are Mak- ing ¬ Apes of Themselves Trying to Learn How Secret Session Do- ings ¬ Get Out when their Own Members Divulge Them Panmcrlcan Congress Divided nn the Qup- stion of a ust ms Union Quandary on the gnr Question AMERICAS FIGUREHEADS Special to the Gazett- eWashixgtox March 5 The senate committee investigating the question in- volving ¬ a proposition to abolish the press gallery is making itself ridiculous What the senate should do is to abolish secret sessions The newspaper men ascertain the proceedings of these secret sessions from senators themselves and if the sen- ate ¬ desires to stop the publication of their star chamber proceedings they had better put th ° inquisition upon their own mem- bers ¬ and not upon the correspondents The smelling committee propose to imprison several newspaper men who will not di- vulge ¬ the sources of their information Some senators are of the opinion that ail corruspoudeuts should bo chained until they give up their secret information Senator Tellers remedy which is the ouly sensible suggestion yet made is to abolish secret sessions The whole coun- try ¬ is now laughing at the ludicrous con- duct ¬ of the senate in tryine to ascertain where the correspondents get their in- formation ¬ when the blame rested en- tirely ¬ with themselves Blackburn wants to abolish the press gallory This does not alarm the correspondents They would simply IGNORE THE SENATE and the senators altogether in their dis- patches ¬ A general boycott would en- sue ¬ Senator Hawley who is himself an editor stated that the correspondents were blameless Their papers demanded the information and they got it The whole thing is a perfect farce and the senators engaged in it should be totally ienored hereafter by the correspondents Concerning this subject a leadinsr Repub- lican ¬ senator states that the real object of the investigating committee is to pavo the way for open doors He addei that the present agitation of the subject was a veritable tempest in a teapot He called ntteution also to a fact not generally knowu that there are very lew matters which transpire in executive session that it would be a violation of- tlie rules for a senator to talk about It is the general opinion that the sen ¬ ators take an oath not to reveal exec- utive ¬ session secrets The fact is how- ever ¬ that they are bound to no secrecy whatever and the only crime which they commit when they give verbatim ac- counts ¬ of executive session proceedings is that they violate one of the standing rules of the senate TIIE TANAMERICAN CONGRESS is divided on the question of a customs union The majority say that the estab- lishment ¬ of a customs union as is gener- ally ¬ understood would require not only a partial sacrifice of the national sov- erignty of the American nations but more radical ohanges in the respective constitutipns than they are willins to ao- cept The majority believe that the principle of unrestricted recipiocity is acceptable and that its adoption would in all probability bring about as favor- able ¬ a result as those obtained by free trade among the differeut states of this Uulon A customs union on that basis however the majority deem as imprac- ticable ¬ as a continental system SUGAR At present the ways and means com- mittee ¬ are in a quandary on the sugar question and it is probable no tariff bill will be roported before April 15 The Comanche National bank of Comanche Tex was authorized lo be- gin ¬ businoss today with a capital of 550000 PROTESTING AGAINST RELIGIOUS BILLS Wasiiingson Maroh 5 Senator Stockbndge presented today two im- mense ¬ packages remonstrances against the passages of any bill in regard to the observance of Sabbath or Lords day or any other religious or ecclesiastical in- stitution ¬ or rite against the adoption of any resolution for the amendment of the national constitution that in any way gives preference to the principles of any religion above another or that will in any way sanction legislation upon the subject of religion The remonstrances contain the individual signatures of 308 377 citizens from different states and ter- ritories ¬ TAUXBEE BETTER Washington March 5 The attend- ants ¬ at the Providence hospital report Mr Taulbee a little better this morn- ing ¬ APPROVED BY TnE PRESIDENT Washington March 5 The president approved the act providing for an assist- ant ¬ secretary of war EEPUBLiCANS AT NASHVILLE After AssptQblinc In Convention they March to tbe ttate House and are Enter- tained ¬ by Tenncsseeans Nashville Tenn March 5 It was after 11 oclock when President Thurston rapped the national convention of Re- publican ¬ league to order Proceed- ings ¬ were opened with prayer after which telegrams and let- ters ¬ were read from President Harrison Republican congressmenHon- T C Piatt of New York and others Invitations tendered to the governor of Tennessee and members of the state legislature to seats on the floor of the convention wero accepted with thanks and the invitation tendered the league to attend a reception at the statehouse at noon was accepted unanimously and adjournment until 2 oclock was taken for this purpose The members then formed in line and headed by theEvans- villebrass band marched to the capitol where they were heartily received by the governor of the state and the joint houses of the legislature Upon arrival at the state capitol the band played Dixie and as the league marched into the house the scene was most remarkable Inspired by the strains of the old tune members of the legislature arose and with shouts and waving of handkerchiefs and flags wel- comed ¬ the visitors It was some time before order was secured Speaker Clapp then arose aud in a brief address said ho was glad to welcome the Republican league to the homes of Jackson Polk and Johnson In the name of the legislature gentlemen of the Republican league I welcome you and 1 promise not to count you present to make a quorum Governor Taylor was then introduced and added a cordial welcome to the Re- publican ¬ Icasuo President Thurston in response gave a glowinc tribute to the hospitality of- Teunesseeans aud warmly thanked them for their hearty welcome to their state LOTTERY SCHEME Charter Obtained from the Choctaw Council Attempt to Dispose of Jt to the Louisiana Lottery Company EreoJol to the Gazette Paris Tex March 5 It has come to light through the report of Indian Agent Brunett to the interior department that at the special session of tho Choo tow council in December a bill was passed incorporating what is known as the Choctaw orphan asylum lottery com- pany ¬ The members of this company are Dr E W Rush and George F- Thobor of this city W M Cravens of Fort Smith John G Farr of Anthers I T John F Morris of LaFlore I T- H T Jackson of Tuskohoma I T and H C Harris of narris Ferry Tex It is presumed that the incorporators are the principal orphans After pro- curing ¬ the charter two members of the company went to New Orleaus aud en- deavored ¬ to sell it to the Louisiana lot- tery ¬ but the offer was declined unless government protection could be guaran- teed ¬ Another member then went to Washington to confer with President Harrisou and the secretary of tho inte- rior ¬ but it is believed to little purpose So quietly was the thing worked through the couucil and so carefully was tho se- cret ¬ guarded that few people were aware that such a scheme was on foot until a dispatch was sent out from Washington telling about it Tho incorporators were surprised and alarmed They refuse to talk but express the fear that it will be the means of their losing half a million of dollars As they have been out little except their time and trouble how this can be is not apparent They fear congressional aoiton and this is what the people want The people of this territory look with distrust upon tbe scheme and believe that it is a fraud of the first magnitude It was doubtless the purpose of tbe incorporators to unload the charter on the Louisiana lottery com- pany ¬ but the manazers of that concern were too wily to be caught The officers of this company are Adam Morris presideut George H Thebo vicepresi ¬ dent and general manager Dr E W Rush secretary John G Saul treas- urer ¬ and W M Cravens attorney The offices of the company would osten- sibly ¬ be at Antlers but in reality m this city People here hope that congress will nip the thing in the bud by prompt and vigorous legislation THE ENTOMBED MINEKS The Mine Yet Burning and Searching Parties are Driven Back No Traee of the Unfortunate Hen Wilkes Barre Pa March 5 The situation at South Wilkes Barre shaft this morning remains unchanged One exploring party after another has de- scended ¬ the shaft only to be driven back by cas and smoko The companys offi- cials ¬ are now busy flooding tbe mine Dense volumes of smoke are still ascend- ing ¬ from the air shafts and the destruc- tion ¬ in the interior of tho mine will be enormous At 8 oclock this evening the last exploring party reported the fire is rapidly eating into the shaft and has made headway over 700 feet from the starting point of last Monday night All hopes of finding the viotims or any part of their bodies has been given up as they have all probably been cremated SEARCH ABANDONED Wilkes Barre Pa Maroh 5 It was decided to send another rescuing party Into the burning tunnel at South Wilkes Barre early this morning After several hours of search for the eight missing miners the party returned to the Burface- at 11 oclock and reported they could fiud no trace of the men Officials say all hope of finding the men is now aban- doned ¬ The work of flooding the tunnel still goes on slowly but huge volumes of smoke are rolling out of the air shaft which shows the fire is still burning Manchester Trade Review Manchester Eng March 5 Tbe Guardian in Its commercial artiole says There is no sign of more life be- yond ¬ an increase in business in light and fancy goods for India Progress in yarn departments is poor Despite the yield- ing ¬ of sellers buyers seem to Do waiting for a further decline Producers are hoping for revivals and are not disposed to lose sales for distant delivery at prices obtainable for goods in quantity Firm- ness ¬ Is maintained by old orders which are being worked off in narrow margins and by the continued idleness of ma- chinery ¬ Export yarns are dull Orders are consequently rare except at prices muoh below the ourrent rates There is- a fair business in jaccouets and mulls for India Prices are a trifle lower The sales of prints are light Business in heavy goods Is steady THE INEVITABLE Overthrow of the Salisbury Gov- ernment ¬ at Next Elections Sir Richard Websters Beward for Try- ing ¬ to Canonize Forgers Per jnrers Conspirators Tho Berlin Government Will Not Ask the Reichstag to I as3 tbe Socialist 111 Death oi Master Lincoln Thoj See It ConilnST Special to the Gazette London March 5 The result of the election in the Xorth division ot St- Panicras has stricken the Conservatives with dismay for in the success of the Gladstonians upon tho issue of the ac- ceptance ¬ of the Parnell commissions re- port ¬ as a vindication of Parnell the Tones see the handwriting on the wall warning them of inevitable overthrow at tho next general elootions So well seated is this fear that the government will now concentrate all its energies in- an effort to stave off anything calculated to force a dissolution in hope that chance may bring up something that will possi- bly ¬ swerve popular opinion from tho track upon which It Is now run- ning ¬ Should the government majority on Smiths motion fall below that shown by the vote on Parnells amendment however it is difficult to see how nn appeal to the country can be lone averted Before the present debato ends it is expected that Parnell Mr- Porley Sir William Harcourt Attorney General Webster and other leaders will speak TO REWARD WEBSTER The statement is made on excellent authority that Lord Esher will resign the position of master of rolls about Easter and that the place will be given to Sir Richard Webster The bestowal upon Sir Richard of this lifo position carrying with it a salary of 00 per annum and an exoffioio seat on the bench of the court of appeal will of course be reerarded in tbe light of- a reward for the questionable service he has rendered to the government in the Parnell prosecution but it must be ad- mitted ¬ that he should receive some- thing ¬ handsome to compensate him for tho decline in popular estimation which he has sustained through his efforts to canonize forgera perjurers couspira- tors spies and other rascals in tho ser- vice ¬ of the Times and the government SOCIALIST BILL Tho Berlin government has decided not to ask the reiebstag to pass the socialist bill for obvious reasons resultant from the recent elections but will content itself with merely asking the legislative body to strengthen and continue the operation of tho bill relating to dyna- miters ¬ and kindred offenders pending its observation of the character and availa- bility ¬ to the governments needs of the new bouse- It has been settled that the body of Master Abraham Lincoln shall for the present be entombed in a vault in Lon- don ¬ whore it will remain until such time as Minister and Mrs Lincoln shall be able to accompany it to America for final interment Young Lincoln Dead London March 6 Master Abraham Lincoln United States ministers son died at 1107 this morning During the morning the lad was in a comatose con- dition ¬ He was unable to retain nour- ishment ¬ and the doctors stated definite- ly ¬ his death was merely a question of a few hours He suffered no pain Mr Lincoln and his family were at the bed- side ¬ of the dying boy from early in the morning until he died He passed away quietly Upon being informed of the death of Master Lincoln the queen sent a message of sympathy to Mr Lincoln The body will be embalmed and sent home for interment FUNERAL TO TAKE TLACE FRLDAV Funeral services will be held in Mr- Lincolns house on Friday next Only intimate friends of the family and off- icials ¬ of the United States legation will be invited The body will be placed temporarily In the catacombs at- JKensal Greens whence it will be transferred to the family tomb at Spring- field ¬ 111 Mr Lincoln desires that the funeral shall be conducted with

London March 5 On February 20th- Hebe encountered a hurricane which created a very heavy sea Her decks were sweDt and she labored heavily In order to ease her the foremast was cut- away In some manner the outting away of all fore rigging was neg leoted and when the foremast fell it carried with it the mainmast and mizzen topmast The vessel was leaking but the pumps were useless and it was Im- possible ¬ to clear her of the water In her hold Seas continued to come aboard and the boats were smashed and the mate and four seamen were swept against the bulwarks and ieverely injured The cabin and forecastle were filled with YOL X1Y NO 115 water and all provisions were destroyed The bark was leaking eighteen inches an hour On the afternoon of February 22 tho Eras was sighted aud it was hoped by those on the Hebo that boats from her would rescue them but they wero disappointed The pumps wero finally got in working order and tho men though worn out with cold and hunger manned them Oir tho morning of Feb- ruary ¬ 24 the Colonist hove in sight and noticing the barks signals bore down to her After a desperate strug- gle ¬ in the heavy waves and at the risk of their lives the boats crews succeeded in getting alongside of the bark and in taking off everybody aboard her Bruisers Bruised London March 5 While Chesterfield Goode and Charley Mitchell tbe pugilist were drinking at the house of George Baird tho sporting man they became involved in a quarrel and finally resorted to blows They olinched aud in tho scuffle that followed both fell down a flight of stairs Baird who was

pital ¬ where his injuries were pronounced serious Mitchell has not yet been ar- rested ¬ Later Mitoholl was arrested this af- ternoon ¬ SHORT 30000 Thats About the Amount of tho Dsflclt In the Missouri Treasurers Accounts St Louis Mo March 3 At Jeffer- son ¬ City It is now considered a pretty well settled fact that State Treasurer Poland is short in his accounts some- thing ¬ over 30000 Even Governor Francis is In doubt as to the exact amount owing to what he terms irreg- ularities ¬ in the books The bondsmen who have talked about the matter agree that the deficit is over 530000and all who possess any information ad ben to this sum or very near it Treasurer Poland was at the state capitol this morning and reiterated his former de- nials ¬ of a shortage Tho whole matter is now in the bands of the committee of investigation appointed by the governor Ho said 41 must decline to discuss it further Until Treasurer Noland makes a full and free statement It will probably never be known where all tho money went or what it went for It is now claimed that the bondsmen were all awaro- of tho shortage and they intended to make it good and were ready to pay tho money the minute they know the exact amount of the deficit In this they reckoned without the governor who assumed that if thero was a short ace bis investigation must show it and then it would be time to notify tho bonds- men ¬ and make tbe states loss good Ho went upon the theory that it wa3 uselpsa- to attempt to place a certain sum of money in the treasury without showing where it came from and without the same being charged on the auditors books This is the straw that broke tho camels back Some of Treasurer Xolands friends question the right of the governor to suspend the treasurer but AttorneyGeneral Wood says Gover- nor ¬ Francis has not exceeded his author- ity ¬ and that on receiving information that there was a deficit he will commence quo warranto proceedings in the supreme court to the end that a writ of ouster may- be issued It is now developed that Governor Francis while in New York received a telegram from his private secretary M- A Fanningwith reference to the trouble in the treasurers office and at- onco hurried home and to Jefferson City taking charge of the treasurers office at once Then the bondsmen met and do- oided that the defioit must be met and tho matter hushed up but to this propo- sition ¬ the governor demurred on the ground that such action would be unlaw- ful ¬ and he could not afford to com- promise ¬ himself in that way Hence the Inevitable exposure 4 LEAGUE

diseussion concerning the reduotion of the number of olubs In tbe league to eight but no definite result was reached President A G Spalding was seen during recess and asked as to the nrobablo admission of Detroit to the league and as to tbe tenolub schedule Ho said the policy of the league was not to increase but to deoreaso tbe number ot clubs and there was but little possi- bility ¬ of

a result as those obtained by freetrade among the differeut states of thisUulon A customs union on that basishowever the majority deem as imprac-ticable

LOTTERY SCHEME

Louisiana Lottery Company
EreoJol to the GazetteParis Tex March 5 It has come
to light through the report of IndianAgent Brunett to the interior departmentthat at the special session of tho Chootow council in December a bill waspassed incorporating what is known asthe Choctaw orphan asylum lottery com-
pany¬
The members of this companyare Dr E W Rush and George F-
Thobor of this city W M Cravens ofFort Smith John G Farr of AnthersI T John F Morris of LaFlore I T-
H T Jackson of Tuskohoma I Tand H C Harris of narris Ferry TexIt is presumed that the incorporatorsare the principal orphans After pro-curing
¬
the charter two members of thecompany went to New Orleaus aud en-
deavored¬
to sell it to the Louisiana lot-tery
¬
but the offer was declined unlessgovernment protection could be guaran-teed
¬
Another member then went toWashington to confer with PresidentHarrisou and the secretary of tho inte-rior
¬
but it is believed to little purposeSo quietly was the thing worked throughthe couucil and so carefully was tho se-
cret¬
guarded that few people were awarethat such a scheme was on foot until adispatch was sent out from Washingtontelling about it Tho incorporatorswere surprised and alarmed Theyrefuse to talk but express thefear that it will be the means of theirlosing half a million of dollars As theyhave been out little except their time andtrouble how this can be is not apparentThey fear congressional aoiton and thisis what the people want The people ofthis territory look with distrust upon tbescheme and believe that it is a fraud ofthe first magnitude It was doubtless thepurpose of tbe incorporators to unloadthe charter on the Louisiana lottery com-pany
¬
but the manazers of that concernwere too wily to be caught The officersof this company are Adam Morrispresideut George H Thebo vicepresi ¬
dent and general manager Dr E WRush secretary John G Saul treas-urer
¬
and W M Cravens attorneyThe offices of the company would osten-sibly

be at Antlers but in reality m thiscity People here hope that congresswill nip the thing in the bud by promptand vigorous legislation

SHORT 30000
Thats About the Amount of tho Dsflclt In theMissouri Treasurers Accounts
St Louis Mo March 3 At Jeffer-son
¬
City It is now considered a prettywell settled fact that State TreasurerPoland is short in his accounts some-
thing¬
over 30000 Even GovernorFrancis is In doubt as to the exactamount owing to what he terms irreg-ularities
¬
in the books The bondsmenwho have talked about the matteragree that the deficit is over 530000andall who possess any information ad bento this sum or very near it TreasurerPoland was at the state capitol thismorning and reiterated his former de-nials
¬
of a shortage Tho whole matteris now in the bands of the committee ofinvestigation appointed by the governorHo said 41 must decline to discuss itfurther
Until Treasurer Noland makes a fulland free statement It will probably neverbe known where all tho money went orwhat it went for It is now claimedthat the bondsmen were all awaro-of tho shortage and they intended tomake it good and were ready topay tho money the minute they know theexact amount of the deficit In thisthey reckoned without the governorwho assumed that if thero was a shortace bis investigation must show it andthen it would be time to notify tho bonds-men
¬
and make tbe states loss good Howent upon the theory that it wa3 uselpsa-to attempt to place a certain sum ofmoney in the treasury without showingwhere it came from and without thesame being charged on the auditorsbooks This is the straw that broke thocamels back Some of TreasurerXolands friends question the right ofthe governor to suspend the treasurerbut AttorneyGeneral Wood says Gover-nor
¬
Francis has not exceeded his author-ity
¬
and that on receiving informationthat there was a deficit he will commencequo warranto proceedings in the supremecourt to the end that a writ of ouster may-be issued
It is now developed that GovernorFrancis while in New York received atelegram from his private secretary M-
A Fanningwith reference to the troublein the treasurers office and at-onco hurried home and to Jefferson Citytaking charge of the treasurers office atonce Then the bondsmen met and do-
oided that the defioit must be met andtho matter hushed up but to this propo-sition
¬
the governor demurred on theground that such action would be unlaw-ful
¬
and he could not afford to com-promise
¬
himself in that way Hence theInevitable exposure
