PEARS THAT THE TEIS05EES TTCEE BCEKED
Awful uncertainty still rules at Dunbar.
The drill has entered the Farm Hill mine,
and a party of four brave men have gone
down to complete digging away the coal.
A furious fire broke out at the mine last
evening, making a grand, yet horrible spec
tacle. tFBOM A STAPF COBr.ESPOXDEXT.1
v Dunbab, June 23. The most critical
period since the work of rescue was com
menced was reached to-night. It soon be
came evident to all the men that while the
fearful fire continued in the Hill Farm the
slope was liable to cave in every minute
and turn the smoke bacK into the mine, so
it would be impossible to enter. The miners
became very impatient to cut through at once
and end the agony. A consultation of the in
spectors, Secretary "Watchorn, Master
"Workman Kerfoot 'and Peter "Wise was
held in tbe blacksmith shop, and by the
dim light of a lantern they deliberated.
The fllrn Who Go Into the Mine.
Secretary "Watchorn was made Chairman,
and Inspector Loutitt, Secretary. The first
proposition was to close all air passages
leading to the burning mine, bnt this would
take a week, and it was voted down.
Then Secretary "Watchorn, Inspectors
Keighley and Loutitt and General Man
ager Hill offered to go into the face
and chop through the coal. The
. offer was finally accepted, and tbe
inspectors agreed to act as guards,
arranging themselves along the entry for
the bottom of the manway. Nobody else
was allowed to enter the mine, and these
four men, having taken their lives in their
hands, will find ont what is ahead of them
either further obstruction or the room for
which they have aimed.
It Is Life or Death.
The work is fraught with the greatest
danger, and as Secretary "Watchorn was
pulling on his gum. boots, he remarked
with heroic determination. "It is victory
or death." As he shook hands with the
reporters before he went down, he said:
"If I don't come out alive, remember me
to the boys," and tben turning away he
auickly disappeared with the others down
the main way. The risk that all the men
are running is fully appreciated by their
comrades on the outside. The universal
prayer is that they may cut through and
come out alive. About 12 ieet remains to
be removed, and if nothing occurs it will
be accomplished in a few hours.
Becoming Fiercer Every moment.
Everybody lealizes that the dead bodies
must soon be recovered or it will be impos
sible to get tbem. The general impression
at 2 o'clock this morning is that the fire has
bnrned its way up from the bottom ot the
slope, when it burst forth into the air. It
was thought bv some that an opening had
been cut from the Ferguson side and the air
had stirred up the fire, but this is denied.
The flames shooting out from the mouth
of the pit are becoming fiercer and higher
every hour. "What the outcome will be re
mains to be seen, but the above is the situa
tion at present "When the men will be
taken out is still an open question.

Caute of tbe Fire.
rTBOM A STAPP CXjnitE6POaDEKT.T
--Dtjnbae, June 27. About dusk this
evening great volumes of black smoke be
gan to pour out of the Hill Farm mine.
Higher and higher rose the boiling clouds,
tumbling over each other in their rapid up
ward flight, and forming a massive pinnacle,
that stood out in bold relief against the
darkened sky. Away up at the top, wafted
by the winds, the blackened vapor .and
gases rolled to theleft into a graceful course,
making a mighty bow, that, unlike the bow
of promise, filled men with terror and fear
ful foreboding. The miners about the Ma
boning pit mouth looked at each other and
wondered what was coming next.
""' A Wall or Fire.
Suddenly, without warning, a ash of
light reddened the black mass and in an
other instant a rushing hell of flame shot
forth from the burning pit. At last the
awlul fire had reached the surface, and for
' miles around the distant hills were quickly
brought to view. Great crowds soon flocked
ttotbe bright scene, and broke down the wire
fence that encircled the mine and helped
lhe,,police to keep back the people. Think
ojjan enormous canyon 2,000 feet long filled
vlh 'ideyonriag flames and concentrated
fireJand yon wilh. get some idea
olfewhat this conflagration is like.
Crawling on my hands and knees with
Secretary "Watchorn, I got directly in front
.aflhYpit month and looked down into the
throat of the monster. The tanks near by
were opened and a heavy stream of water
ran down, hut it was licked np at the
entrance as easily as the sun dissipates a
light fog in the early morning. Coal and
timber in abundance were feeding the
flames, and the thought of 32 helpless men
imprisoned behind such a fiery furnace
made the flesh creep. The heat is simply
terrific Alas, for those who have been
hoping in vain for the recovery of loved
ones alive. '
Terrible Beyond Description.
The sight of this crackling, warning fire
made hearts sink. Old miners stood by
dumb with fear and awed by the terrible
force of the flames. "I have seen many
mine fires," remarked Secretary "Watchorn.
"but I never saw such a terrible conflagra
tion. Before it burst out I could see it leap
ing and bounding along the slope, eating up
everything in its track. If it was danger
ous to pierce through from the Mahoning
mine, this fire makes it 10,000 times more
hazardous. The suction power of this
fire cannot be estimated. I think
this ought to convince everybody that
it is simply impossible to cross over
to the men from the Ferguson side, and how
thankful the men ought to be that they
didn't cut through as some of them wanted
to; true this fire could have been put out
early alter the disaster by closing the mine,
but the owners have given the imprisoned
men the benefit of the -doubt. There is no
dodbt in my mind that the mine is filled
with smoke, but I think it can be easily
blown out." At 11 o'clock this evening
Secretary Watchorn rushed into the tele
graph office and informed the reporters that
a hole had been pierced through from the
Mahoning side, and all the men had been
ordered out of the mine.
Tbe Sllne Renched nt Last.
Miner Barnhill, of Leisenring, is the man
who has the proud honor of holding the
drill at the supreme moment. The lamps of
the men commence to flicker at once from
the draft created, and it was difficult to keep
them lit The inspector in a moment realized
what had happed, and sent the rescuing
party to the surface. They claim to be in
the room for which they have been steer
ing, but the public has been disappointed
so often in the last 11 days that these state
ments should be taken as opinions, and for
what they are worth. Nobody is in the mine
now except the inspectors, who are holding
a consultation. The hole has been plugged,
and the next step is to examine the air and
to determine whether it is best or not to pro
ceed in the face of the fierce fire raging in
the Hill Farm slope. At this w iting it is
believed by many that tbe fire was fanned
into fierceness by the draft that worked its
way through the slight barrier that remains,
and this is taken as a strong evidence that
the rescuing party is almost into the Hill
Farm mine. The work has become exceed
ingly dangerous, and nothing hasty will be
done, or that will entail tbe loss of more
lives. The progress all day was painfully
slow.
Just why the fire should be stirred np bo
savagely at this time is a mystery. In
spector Keighley thought the timber had
been burning out on tbe slope and a heavy
fall of slate and rock had forced out the
flame and smoke. The inspectors In the
mine at the consultation are Messrs. Blick,
Jenkins, Adams, Keighley, Loutitt and
Evans. Isbael.

NewYoek. June 27. A muuj...
phobia was presented to Dr. Gibier, of the
Pasteur Institute to-day, of a 12-year-old
boy who was bitten by a dog two weeks ago.
The first evidence of the dread malady was
noticed early in the week, and when exam

fellow had a succession of fainting spells
followed by nausea.
Dr. Gibier declared it his belief that the
lad was in the incipient state of hydro

STRIKERS ON THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL
' RAILROAD WEAKEN
And Accept tbo Term of tbe Company
Sobnrbnu Trnfflo Resumed Men Were
In No Condition to Precipitate n Strike
All Trains Moving.
Chicago, June 27 The strike on the
Illinois Central was declared off this after
noon by a vote of 306 to 105, the strikers ac
cepting tbe concessions of the company.
The result caused general rejoicing not
only among the men themselves, most 'of
whom had begun to realize that their action
had at least been precipitated and that
the case was inadequate, considering the
magnitude of the interests involved, but
also at the general offices of the company.
The management felt a very heavy burden
of anxiety lifted from its shoulders when
the announcement was brought up from
Eighteenth street that the men were ready
to go to work. The thousands of people
who live in the suburbs and depend upon
the Illinois Central for transportation to
and from their homes have eqnal cause for
felicitation on the outcome. Preparations
for the resumption of business were at once
begun and the fires in the engines in' the
switch yards, which have been banked for
three days were stirred into life and fresh
coal put on, preparatory to getting up steam.
General Superintendent Sullivan .was
seen after the settlement and at the close of
the final conference. He said that tbe strike
was settled not upon the bads of any con
cessions on the part of the railroad com
pany, but by the complete and entire sur
render of the men. He said Superintendent
Bussell's powers had not been in any way
curtailed, but that he would continue to
give orders as be had always given them.
He said it had always been the usage of the
road for a division superintendent to give
orders only to his immediate inferiors.
A dispatch from Cairo says that the
Illinois Central strikers resumed work at 5
p. M. and trains are being made np to go
Norlh and South at once. No disturbance
of any kind has taken place during the time
the men have been out.
The strike fasted four days and seven
hours. On tbe statement of one of. the lead
ing officials of the road, tbe loss to the com
pany was 51,000 an hour, or something over
100,000.
CLEVELAND EEYEESED.
Ono of Ills Decisions ns Referee Does Not
Suit tho Court.
rgPEOAL TELEOBAM TO TUB DISPATCH.!
.New York, June 27. Since Grover
Cleveland has been practicing law his pro
fessional appearances before the public have
been wholly in the capcity of referee in suits
of law. His decision in the case of Phelps
against Venner was telegraphed over the
country at considerable length. In 1884
George B. Phelps contracted with Clarence
H. Venner, a stock broker, to sell 100 bonds
of a certain .railroad at not less than 90.
Mr. Venner, according to Mr. Phelps, got
the price reduced to 67J and the very next
day sold 75 of the bonds at 90. The. rest he
exchanged for other bonds, and he paid Mr.
Phelps 67K for the lot. Mr. Phelps sued
for the difference, tbe whole amount, with
interest, being 530,000.
Mr. Venner's defense was thar he did not
sell tbe bonds on commission as a broker,
but bought then outright nt 67. Mr.
Cleveland filed bis report on .November 22
last. He found for Mr. Phelps on every
question of. fact involved. He refused to
allow Mr. Venner to retain any commis
sions, because, he said, Mr. Venner had
violated his duties as agent ot the plaintiff.
He discussed the duties of stock brokers
toward theirtclients at great length and with
great wisdom, end found evidences ot Mr.
Venner's intent to cheat and defraud Mr.
Phelps. Judge Coxe, of the "United States
Circuit Court, sitting at TJtica, set aside
Mr. Cleveland's report to-day.
STRIKE SERIOUS AT ST. LOUIS.
The Freight Handlers still Out and Trooblo
Feared.
St. Louis, June 27. The strike of 'plat
form men in East St. Lonis is still on. The
Mobile and Ohio men, who resumed work
yesterday at the advanced wages, went out
again to-day, and will remain with the
strikers until all the roads agree to the ad
vance. About 200 of the strikers held a
secret meeting. It is learned, however, that
several speeches of a rather incendiary char
acter were made, one of the men being re
ported as having said if they could not work
in the freight houses they could burn them.
All of the freight houses were open this
morning, but only a few men were at work,
and they were new men. None of the old
men resumed their places to-day, and they
may be looked upon as discharged, and will
be paid off.
The superintendents of the roads held an
other meeting this afternoon, at which the
Mobile and Ohio was represented. Super
intendent Clark, of that road, said his men
were forced out yesterday by the strikers.
He had a few hands worfcing to-day. All
tbe railroad property in East St. Louis is
carefully guarded by watchmen, and there
is a large police force on duty. In addition
to this, should any riotous proceedings oc
cur, a large posse armed with Winchester
rifles will be ready to act at a moment's
warning.
A DUEL WITH HATCHETS.

Lord Hartington has gained tbe dis
pleasure of his colleagues by advising the
Unionists to oppose Caine's re-election and
support the Conservative candidate. A
story is told that Kaiser "Wilhelm begged
the cession of Heligoland from the Queen.
TOT CABLE TO TUB DISrATCn.I
London, June 27. Lord Hartington's
final decision to oppose Mr. Caine's re
election, which was conveyed to the Union
ists of Barrow-in-Furness last night, in a
telegram advising them to support the Con
servate candidate, in view of Mr. Caine's
attitude toward the Government, is a canse
of displeasure to many of the dissidents, and
will tend to assist a good deal in increasing
the recent current of events which is per
ceptibly closing np the ranks of the Liberals,
and leaving Lord Hartington with a con
stantly diminishing following of deserters
from tbe Liberal party.
The leader of tbe dissidents seems to "be
a valuable balance wheel when he is deal
ing with the Conservative party and tbe
Ministry, but in his relations with his own
faction he is as great a blunderer as Lord
Salisbury, and appears to take the course
most damaging to his ultimate interests.
His secoud thought in this instance is cer
tainly not as good as his first.
The Badicals are expressing a .good deal
of objection to the composition of the Com
mittee on the Suspension of bills. The two
dissidents in it are reckoned as belonging
to the opposition, or rather as being neutral
between the Cabinet and the opposition. So
that the Goverment is really given a major
ity of three, instead of the traditional one.
Mr, Smith was not prepared yesterday
with his promised programme, and there
fore postponed his statement of the course
of public business which the Ministers in
tend to adopt. There is little doubt, how
ever, that they will drop the tithes bill for
the session, thus clearing away all the Gov
ernment's big bills until the next sesOn
and leaving the way open for finishing Up
the session in short order.
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Report Denied Regarding the Ceding of
tbe Island of Domlncia.
London, June 27f In the House of
Commons to-day Sir James Fergusson,
Under Foreign Secretary, replying to Mr.
Blaine, admitted that a declaration had
been exchanged with France in March,
1862, by which France and England agreed
to respect the independence of the Sultan
of Zanzibar.
Referring to the report that the agreement
with Germany included a secret clause pro
viding for an alliance with that country in
the event of war, tbe Under Foreign Secre
tary denied that the Government had under
taken any new obligation towardEoropeiur
powiT either iaibeprp8,eot agreen.'en tr'
otherwise. He further said tn'at negotia
tions with Germany still proceeded regard
ing "Walfisch Bay and Damarland. A slip
of territory only 20 miles wide would give
the Germans independent access to the
waterway of the Zambesi. England was re
ceiving recognition of a sphere of influence
over vast regions, and she ought not to be
jealous concerning the portion that remains.
Mr. Alfred Pease asked whether there was
any truth in the report that the Government
was disposed to cede to France the Island of
Domincia, one ot the "Ward islands, in ex
change for the renunciation by France of all
rights in the Newfoundland, fisheries.
The Under Foreign Secretary said the re
port was utterly baseless.
THE KAISER'S INFLUENCE
Potent With Queen Victoria, Secured Ger
many Heligoland.
IBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCn.1
London, June 27. It is stated that
Count Herbert Bismarck, during his visit to
London a year ago, sounded Lord Salisbury
upon the concessions which Germany might
expect from England in a settlement of the
differences between the two nations in re
lation to territory in Africa, and that he
made a special point of the cession of Heli
goland in retnrn for German compliance
with British desires in the Dark Continent.
The Prime Minister, it is said, would not
hear of such a thing, and declared that the
British Government wonld never cede the
island on any conditions. Kaiser Wilhelm
tben, receiving a report of Count Bismarck's
failure, himself took up the question and
spoke to Queen Victoria about it. The re
sult of this was, according to the story, that
in the end the Kaiser gained his point, and
the cession of Heligoland became a part of
the Anglo-German agreement.
A SYNDICATE OF THE STATES

The committee says that the construction of
the canal at the calculated level would oc
cupy 20 years and wonld cost 1,737,000,000

In the opinion of the committee the wort

tSPECIAL TELEQBAH TO THE DISPATCH. I
Chicago, June 27. Chicagoans who
have been sweltering under a broiling sun
for just -one week, never watched a cloud
with so much interest as they did the one
that crept out of the northern horizon this
afternoon. The heat during the day had
been appalling, men and horses falling dead
in the streets from its effects. Over in the
west division the thermometer marked 9G at
10 o'clock. Ambulances and'patrol wagons
were kept on the jump from morning until
night moving the victims to hospitals. Down
town where the heat of sun and pavement
was confined to a narrow area, the suffering
was intense. About 2 o'clock a gray cloud
sprang out of the northern horizon and mov
ing lazily toward the city to the accompani
ment of thunder and lightning, emptied
nearly an inch of water upon the burning
buildings.
The cloud went away and within half an
hour the heat became more appalling than
at any time during the day. When the sou
went down the thermoneter registered 92,
with a feverish breeze blowing from the
south. "Up to 8 o'clock to-night 40 sun
strokes were reported by the police, mahy
of them proving fatal. In seven instances
since the heated term began men have gone
crazy from their affliction. Reports from
the interior show that the people are
dropping dead in the streets from the heat,
which in many towns has reached 100. Un
less a cold wave comes soon the hospitals in
this city will be nnable to take care of their
victims. Over 100 sufferers from sunstroke
are at the county hospital alone. There is
no prospect to-night of a change in "the
weather.
SEIZED BY AN ENGLISH OFFICES,
A Newfoundland Lobster Factory Closed
Up bv Orders
Halifax, June 27. Baird's lobster fac
tory at Fishel Brook, St. George's Bay, is
in possession of Sir Baldwin "Walker, Cap
tain of tbe British war ship Emerald.
Baird had been ordered to close his factory,
but had refused to do so. Captain "Walker
also caused Mr. Baird's factory at Sandy
Point to be closed. It had been running
two years, so that the modus vivendi does
not apply. Mr. Baird dispatched a solicitor
to serve a writ on Captain "Walker for ille
gal trespass and violation of tbe modns
Vivendi. He will fight Captain "Walker in
the courts, believing that be cannot enforce
the modns vivendi legally. Twenty-six
lobster packers will take the same course.
A special telegram trom New York says:
This explanation of the closing of a British
subject's factory bv a British captain is
given by E. H. Onterbridge, of tbe Pro
duce Exchange: "The British Captain's
action was tatcen in view of a claim set up
by the French, and 'for the time at least ad
mitted by England in the modus vivendi,
which in effect prohibits the English from
setting up any permanent buildings on the
west coast of the island. This was the re
sult of protests made by the native fisher
men, who feared a monopoly."

tSPECIAL TELEORAM TO THE DISPATCK.1
New Okleans, June 27. The Senate
Committee to which the lottery bill passed
by tbe House last Wednesday was referred,
reported it back, naming the amount to be
paid by the Louisiana State Lottery Com
pany for the privilege 51,230,000 a year, in
stead of $1,000,000, aud-for the entire period
hft 25yeacrs,531,250,000 instead ot $25,000,000,:
auis change was due to Jlr. Aiawton,-- or
Algiers, who, when the question came up
Wednesday, announced that he would vote
against the bill unless the amount paid by
the company was increased 5250,000 to the

ages, Affected by the
BILL HOW IN THE LOWER HOUSE.
All Articles Imported and Then Offered for
Sale Flaced
DNDEE EEGDLATIONS OP TEE STATES.
The Senate Has Passed the Measnro for the Statehood
of Wjominy.
The Honse original package bill provides
that any article imported shall be under
State control if offered for sale. Imports
for individual use will be legal, but must
not be transferred. The measure providing
for the admission of Wyoming as a State
has now passed both branches of Congress.
Washington, June 27. Bepresenta
tive Beed, of Iowa, has prepared, on behalf
of the Judiciary Committee of the Honse,
a report on the bill agreed upon by the
committee as a substitute for the Senate
original package bill. It first points ouj
the differences between the two bills the
Senate bill being applicable to a single
subject of commerce, intoxicating liquors,
and the House bill being applicable to all
articles of commerce.
bights or the states.
The report says that, in the opinion of
the committee, all property which has been
imported into the State and kept for sale
there ought to be subject for all purposes to
the jurisdiction of the State, and all per
sons who engage in traffic within a State
ought to be subject to such rules as
it may enact lor the regnlation of
that traffic. The States are tbe proper
judges of the needs of their own citi
zens, and they ought to be free to
enact and enforce snch laws as they may
deem best adapted to their situation and
best calculated to enhance the property and
happiness of their people, and when the
non-resident imports his wares into the State
and then engages in traffic therein, it is but
just that he should be subject to the same
restrictions that govern the citizens of the
State who would engage in a like traffic.
And this wonld be the effect of the bill if
amended as recommended by the committee.
It wonld in no manner interfere with the
right of the citizen ot a State to purchase
abroad any article of commerce, which he
might desire for his own use, and have the
same transported and delivered to him at
his place of residence.
WHAT WILL BE PERMITTED.
The States would have no power to pre
vent the importation of any article of com
merce nor to obstruct the transportation of
commerce through their Territories, except
in the necessary enforcement of their health
laws. Its only effect would be to subject
such property as may be imported into the
State and there held or offered for sale to
the laws of the State. The power of Con
gress to enact a law ot this character can
hardly be donbted.
In the judgment of your committee, the
report concludes it would' be much wiser to
enact a general law applicable to all arti
cles ol commerce than to meet the exigency
with reference to particular articles as it
may seem to arise, as would be the policy
if the Senate bill should be enacted.
ANDREWS AT'THE CAPITAL,
He Is Looking After the Postofflee Appoint

CFEOSt A STATP COBBESF03DEXT.
Washington, June 27. Chairman J.
H. Andrews, Major Bloss and Colonel J.
J. Carter, who made the speech nominating
Delamater at Harrisburg, are all here to
day, and have caused a little flurry in the
Titusville postoffice contest. As has been
frequently stated in these telegrams, Cul
bertson has recommended Mr. Gilmore
for the place, who is the one
man of all others not wanted by
Chairman Andrews and his friends. The
distinguished trio presented the name of
Major Shattnck, and urged his appoint
ment in vigorous terms, representing that
Culbertson had been repudiated after one
term by both counties in his district, and
should not be allowed to name any more
officials.
So lar as conld be judged, the Postmaster
General was very favorably impressed with
the presentation of Mr. Shattnck's case, and
it is altogether probable that the first break
will be made in shelving Mr. Culbertson's
list of recommendations by the appoint
ment, possibly next week, ot the gentlemen
asked for to-day by Chairman Andrews,
Major Bloss and Colonel Carter.

much show for them this afternoon. There
were too many Pattison people, and the ad
mirers of the Clearfield statesman quietly
submitted to the inevitable. Before the)
election of delegates took place the follow
ing was adopted without a dissenting voice
amid a storm of applause:
Whereas. The Democrats of "Westmoreland

Governor,
Resolved. That the delegates to bo elected

tSPECIAL TELEOBA2X TO THE DISPATCH.!
Philadelphia, June 27. Ex-Senator
Eckley B. Coxe, who wag in the city to-day,
denies in the most emphatic terms that
Chairman Kisner's resignation was in the
interest of any party faction or tor any po
litical reasons whatever. He says Mr. Kis
ner's personal and business affairs claimed
all his time and attention. Mr. Coxe simply
advised him when he learned of this to no
tify all the party leaders in advance of the
convention, so that time might be given.for
the selection ofa suitable successor.
Mr. Coxe wEo is one of the nine sub-
Chairmen of the Democratic organization of
the State, says he will be at the Scranton
convention. He thinks the nomination of
Delamater by the Republicans gives the
Democrats a good chance to win in the com
ing campaign if a ticket is nominated that
represents the interests of the people instead
ot the ambitions ot individuals or factions.
Mr. Coxe's platform is tariff, ballot and
civil service reform, and he says that
if a popular candidate who' repre
sented these principles is nominated,
he will draw to hisCsupport thousands ot
Bepublicans who are tired ot the present
Solicyand leadership of their own party.
Ir. Coxe is not committed to any candi
date, and will go to Scranton to work for
the best nomination that can possibly be
made.
Ex-Governor Pattison, ex-Secretary of
the Commonwealth William S. Stenger,

so."
"If Pattison is nominated will he receive
any considerable Republican support in
your judgment?"
"Undoubtedly. There will be 50,000 Re
publicans and perhaps twice that nnmber

and any Republican who is opposed to tbe
