NO CHANHK OF BILL IN THE HoL'SE.
There appears DO prenent prospect of
a variatiou from the iirograimuj fol

before the house until it shall have
been disposed of in some way. After

speaker was conversing with several
persongjinclnding one or two members,
regarding the business for the coming
week. "We shall go right along, " he
aid in his heHrty fashion, "just as we
have bsen going until a quorum voUs
upon the question of closing debate,
and remains until the vote on the pass
age of the lull is taken."
How many days the Blao 1 bill will
occupy this week cannot, of course, be
definitely stat-d now, but its supprt
ers eonfidently expect that it will be
out of tho way by Tuesday night at the
furthest. Iu answer to a question why
the committee ou rules was not asked
to bring in an ord-r tixing the time for
taking a vote, Mr BUn 1 exalained that
under existing conditions such a pro

COUNTERFEITERS BAGGED.
Shovsrs of the (ii--r la th Toils at
Altoona.
Ai.Toona, Pa., Feb. H The secret
service officers are still at work in this
city and three more arrests ot counter
feiters were made today. The officers
are very reticent as to their operations
and refuse to give any names. Two ot
the parties wore men and one woman.
The latter, it is known, is Mrs. Sue
Feeney, who has not been living with
her husb.ind for a year or more and
who bus been leading a dissolute life.
These three were giving a quiet hear
ing this evening before United States
Commissioner Ambrose, at which time
all wero able to furnish bail in the sum
of $2,000.
The detectives are still at work, and
before they are thrnngh it is expected
quite a number will be added to the
seven already arrested, and one of the
most extensive counterfeiting opera
tions in the state unearthed.

SILVER QUESTION IN INDIA.
Belief in th Impossibility of an ItipDrt
Duty on the Motal.
London, Feb. 18 The Daily News
in its financial article says: "The mar
ket is disposed to anticipate, from re
cent replies made in the house of com
mons, a possible import duty on silver
after tho financial year. Hence there
will be a good demand for silver for
delivery prior to the departure of the
Indian mail next week."
The Financial News says: "We are
confident that the Indian government
will impose an import duty on sil
ver on the protract that it is merely
furnishing a new entire of revenue for
India, but every body will know that if
tnere has been no currency muddling
at Whitehall, there will be no silver
duty iu India."
H'KINLEY'S EARLY START.
He Is Expected to Keep Even with
Reed and Harrison in the Race
tor the Nomination.
Samutls, the London Anarohtat, Olvss
Bis Refreshing- Views.
London, Feb. 18 Samuels, the
most bloodthirsty of London anarch
ists, was interviewed today concern
ing the explosion near the Greenwich
obeervatory. He acknowledged the
truth of the report that Martial Bonr-
NlW York, Fob, is. The arrival of
Governor McKinley iu the city ban set
the presidential boom -rs talking. 1' ie
hinted that from uow on the Republi
can yarty'e chief exponent of the doc
trine of a protective tariff will be seen
frequently in public places.
He is to make a compute circuit of
the country during the next eighteen
months, it is said, and the next stand
is Chicago, whore the governor will
speak at the Union league dinner on
Washington's birthday.
The governor declined to discuss the
subject of Republican presidential
nominees yesterday, but it is accpte 1
as a fact that tho governor is a candi
date for the nomination. His friends
expect him to have the Obio delegation
olid, owing to the nlleged complais
ance of extJovernor Foraker and the
faction he leads, and his interests iu
the Republican national committee
will be looksd after by the executive
member from Ohio, Mr. Hahn.
In view of the fact that ex-Speaker
Reed and ex-Proiident Harrison are
also candidates by the declaration of
' ir political friends and each has
his special representative on the na
tional committee, the course of that
institution when p- rniansnt headquar
ters are established in New York city
will be watched with unusual interest.
Rarely have candid ites for presiden
tial nomination gotten into the field so
early, but the unusual situation is the
reason given.
i ne nepuMicans i. i i that this is a
case where "the early bird" will reap
the reward, ainl tnat the trouble in thu
Democratic party becauss of the in
come tax rider on the Tariff bill and
the hostility to President Cleveland on
the part of many senators and repre
sentatives, make the chance of republi
can national success bright.
For that reoson, it is said, Governor
McKinley s friends wish him to get
promptly in the field and call general
attention to himself as the original de
i larertof the cry, "The foreigner pays
the tax."
Ex-hpeaker Reed possesses the ad
vantage of leading the R -publican
unuority in the house and can from
time to time reach the Republican ear
in an eft'-ctive manner, while ex-Presi
dent Harrison has the prestige that at
taches to the occupancy of the white
house chair,
Governor McKinley is not to be ob
scured by the caprice of politics whicl
retired him from the national arena to
the limits of Ohio, his friends say, and
as heroic measures are necessary at
this time they are to be adopted.

For some reason which he could not

Possibly there was some defect in its

gallery, Franch waited quietly until
the opera was approaching its con

Then ho moved out into the passage,
where nobody was likely to observe
him, and taking the bombs, 'one in each
hand, he hurled them with all his force
lown into the center of the closely
packed stalls, where the bourgeois were
siting. In the confusion and panic
which followed the explosion, Franon,
who was already clear of tho seats, had

WHEELER H. PECKHAM, THE REJECTED.
ALL HOPE IS ABANDONED.
Rescuing Party at Plymouth Have
Given Up the Thought of Find
ing the Entombed Miners.
Wll.KES- Daiike, Feb. 18, A visit to
the scene of the mine horror at Ply
mouth todav by the United Tress rep
resentative disclosed the fact til h t ther-
has been no cessation of t-lfort ou he
half of the reseuers who are digging
for the entomhod men. Bsing Sunday,
the vicinity of the mine WAS crowded
fnousanda ot people from narly every
mining town in ths valiey had come to
take a look at thu scene of the disaster.
Many of them were miners employed
in tiie various collisries hereab.ints,
and the general opinion among the
most experienced was that the thirteen
victims would usver bo rescued alive
A wild hone was borne iu the breasts
of the victims' friends last night when
word came that a supply ot blankets
had been ordered to the shaft, but it
soon died out upon investigation. The
order was given merely us a precau
tionary measure, in case the rescuers
should come upon the doomed men
unexpectedly. A'l day today the res
cuers worked csaselssly, gang succeed
ing gang at regular intervals. The
task is not only hard and dangerous,
but positively discouraging. No sooner
do the men gain twenty feet or so, than
the top settles down again and they are
compelled to retreat. In this way only
a few t-et at a time can be gamed and
little progress is apparent to the casual
observer. Tlietrescuing party have al
ready had many close calls and the pre
iiction is freely made by the old miners
that more lives will be sacrificed be
fore the vietims are reached.
Although the air is tilled with ru
mors of every description, the simple
fact is that no one, not eveu the otfi
einls, know when the men will be
reached. The work of tunnelling
through the fall is of such a uatnre
that no cilciilations can be mule
Were the rescuers driving through
solid coal or rock the exact hour when
they would reach a given point could
easily be ascertained But with a mass
of louse coal in front of th m, mi l a
roof which threatens at any moment
to crash down upon and bury them out
of sight forevor. the men find it hard
to foretell the result with any degree
of confidence.
Superintendent Ivlwards, who has
charge of the night, shift of rescuers,
did a heroic net this afternoon, at the
same time taking. his lite in his own
hands, He crawled through nu open
place situated near the roof on the
plane in the Gay lord mine ou his
hands and knees with only a safety
lamp banging by his sido to give
what little light ther could bs had.
He managed to get over 300 feet fur
ther into the mine than any other per
son who has so far dared to venture.
Gn returniug tonight he said that he
wiib of the opinion he had been near
the spot where the men were supposed
to be, hut others think that he no
doubt passed over the bodies a he was
on top of the debris and tho men un
der. It is reported late tonight that the
resonera have reached a place iu the
shaft 350 feet from the foot of the
plane, and they litid the cross-headings
almost clear. Five brave miners at
once went into this portion later on,
and are now making a thorough search
for the men. Superintendent Kosser,
who has charge of the dav shift, is of
the opinion that they will find the men
very soon if they are in the place where
ther are supposed to be.
Superintendent MacFarlan snys from
his, knowledge of the disaster the men
are, beyond doubt, dead, and he can
see no chance where they had any ave
uue to escape from under the fall,

S-cretary Hayes has issnsd to tho order
concerning the suits for salary which
have been entered by the ex-general
officers. Mr. Wright said that it was
true that Mr. Powderly, Mr. Devlin
and himself had entered suits as stated
but if any harm were done by giving
publicity to the tact the blame must
be borne by Mr. Hayes, who had lor
some purpose of his own oboseu to
make it public.
The pretense that be and Powderly
and Devlin wore pressing for tho
money due them for the purpose of in
juring the order was untrue, Mr.
Wright said, as be believes it to be
perfectly solvent and able to pay the
claims. Mr. Wright said some severe
things about Mr. Hayes, aud iu cou
clnding IBB interview, said that tho
talk about ma-inf actureis bicking the
ex-eneral officers was simply nonsen
sical, as was also tho stulf about try
ing to lead the Knights iutu any politi

' Snch iioiiseufe," he mid, "arises
cither from natural stupid ty, or is due
to a chronic tendency to untruthlnl
ness. There may be pi ople who belli ve

political Oampa l y 1 adt rs, as I know
tin-re are tl oe who have attempted it,
but neither Mr Powderly, Mr. Devlin
nor 1 belong to the class who believe
this."
