Hope Gives Way to Discour
agement and Despair at
tbe Twin Sbaft.
FIFTEEN INCHES AN HOUR
TSiat Was the Average Rate of Pro
gress Yesterday Rescuers Had
Been Too Sanguine of Their
Abilities Eierytuing Is In an
Uncertain State Corona Comes
on the Scene.
RisscouraKement has taken the place
of hope at the Twin haft In Pittston.
The bright prospects of the previous
day are now shown to be a delusion,
and the discouragement now Is as deep
as the hopes were high then. Yester
day the reports told of the probability
of speedily recovering the bodies and
the faint possibility of rescuing; some
of the men alive. Today the sad indi
cations are that the bodies even will
not be recovered for many a day, If
ever.
The cause of this sudden alternation
fiom hope to despair Is explained by the
now potent fact that t!ia rescuers were
over satiRiiino of their abilities as re
R.irds making headway. The wish that
they niteht was father of the thouart
that ti.ey could, with no further Impedi
ment from "suueezes." push their way
down the rl'Mi tit nearly the Fame rate
of sjieid in which tli3y covered the dis
tance in Hi gangway leading to the
head of the slope. They did make
r.'.us: eir'nuratflns headway down the
first (tin t of the slo), but as they' came
closer to the edge of the face they
found that they had Immense bowlders
to c.nt'd with instead of fragments
of rocks, as was the case when proceed
ing th ough the road leading1 to the
slope.'' -
The uncertainties that have ail along
existed still continue to exist. The
men ennnnt tell what Is ahead of them
and can only llnd out by the sluv and
tedious method of tunntllnir. which is
being pursued. No developments are
exported today, as the slop? has been j
explored as far ahead as It Is possible I
to push the tunnel during the next
twenty -four hours, and consequently it
Is net expected that anything' new will
b- revealed. However, no one can tell
what the morrow will brlntt forth.
From the point where the rescuers I
were hist niirht to the foot of the elope
is about 7W) feet. Superintendent Lan
Kan and a few of the other victims
may be there. The main body of the
men are supposed to be still further on
In the workings which branch out from
the foot, opinions differing as to the
distance, some saying 200 feet, others
holding that they are in live times that
far.

DETERMINED LOVERS UNITED.
Their Fourth Elopemcut Sncceess
fal After Bloodless Duel.
Jeffersonvllle, Ind., July 1. ThomaB
I. Phillips and Miss Ollle Moore wrc
the principals In an exciting elopement
to this city. They came from Casev
county, Kentucky. They had made
three previous attempts to elope and
had been thwarted as many times by
Irate parents. The fourth and success
ful attempt was not made until Phil
lips and Elijah Wllkerson, a brother-in-law
of the bride, had a fight Thoy
drew revolvers and fired eight times at
each other, but the balls went wide of
their mark. Phillips was forced to re
treat, leaving his sweetheart behind.
Later she went to the home of hor
aunt and thither Phillips followed her.
They quickly left the house, following
an old Indian trail to a pike leading to
Lebanon. The distance of forty-?ive
miles was traveled on foot. On reach
ing Lebanon the determined twain
boarded a, train for this city, where
they were married at noon. Phillies
said he knew there would be trouole
when he returned home and If any one
would bo killed It would not be he.
MRS. STOWE DEAD.
The Author ol "Uncle Tom's Cablo" and
OtiT Noted Works, Passes
Away at Hartford.
Hartford, Conn., July 1. Mrs. Har
riet Heecher Stowe, the gifted author
of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," "Dred" and
other works of wide reputation, died at
her home, 73 Forest street, at noon to
day without regaining consciousness.
She passed peacefully away as though
into a deep sleep.
Mrs. Stowc's body will be taken to
Audover, Mass., Friday. The burial
will be In the cemetery connected with
the Andover Theological seminary,
where Mrs. Stowe's husband, Professor
Calvin E. Stowe, and her son, Henry,
are burled.
Funeral services for Mrs. Stowe wilt
be held at her late home at 5 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. The bojy will be
taken to Andover, Mass., for Interment
on Friday morning.
Harriet (Beecher) Stowe was the daugh
ter of Lyman and Roxana UFoote) Beech
er. and was boin in Lltoliflcld, Conn., June
14, mi. She was the seventh In a family of
children of whom the eldest was but ?1
years older than herself. Her father was
a Congr-g:itlnnal clergyman, living upon
a salaiy of IsQU, and her mother eked out
Ihair slender income by keeping a board
ing school and pcivonully teaching Eng
lish, French, painting, and embroidery.
It is no wonder that this overworked
mother should have died when lir daugh
ter, Harriet, was but 6 years old, leaving
th child to be brought up by an aunt,
a grandmother, and a stepmother. At 14
she was sent to the Hartford City Female
seminary, which her eldr sister Cather
ine had established. Her father afterward
removed successively to Boston and to
Cincinnati O.. and at or near the latter
city the sisters opened another school.
Four years later, in 1W9, she wns married
to Professor Culvln R Htowe, who taugrrt
Biblical criticism and Orlun'ftl literature
In Lane Thcoloxlcul seminary, of which
Dr. Bewhor was president. Tha rise of
the antl-nlavcry notation practically
broke up the Institution, the trustees tak
ing one rR!e, the studonts the other. The
Bcerhcrs and Stowes finally left It, and
Mr. Stowe became u professor in Bowdoln
college, at Brunswick, Me. The family
took a few boarders and Mrs. Stowe oc
casionally wrote for the newspapers, hav
ing obtained a prize of ?6l) for a story.
Already (In 1813) she had published, a lit
tle collection of sketches, called "The Mny
Flower." The stories were very much In
the style of Miss Sedgwick's, which were
then very popular; but Mrs. Stowe's had
a more distinctly religious element. It is
a Utile curious that, although the writer
was then over 30, It was thought best to
have the book Introduced by a long pre
face from her elder sister. Miss Catherine
E. Beecher, giving an argument In favor
of Judicious fiction. Instancing Scott and
Kdgeworth as an example, but decidedly
condemning Dickens, and deprecating the
enthusiasm lately called forth by his visit
to America.
Mrs Stowe's greatest work, "Uncla
Tom's Cabin." appeared on March 2u, 18T4,
and had the very greatest success from the
first moment. It took but a few days to
sell 10.0U0 copies, and over 300,uOO wero sold
within a year, elsht power-presses barely
keeping pace with the demand. This is
Mrs. Stowe's own statement in the Cen
tennial Edition, but it can hardly lie rec
onciled with tha fact that the publishers
in ls5s annoimc-.d only the three hundred
and fourteenth thousand. Such a sale,
however, even in sixteen years, was a
tiling probably unexampled In history for
a purely Itterarv work. Its success In
England, ami then in Europe generally,
was as startling.

DEMOCRATS TRY
TO GET TOGETHER
Silver Leaders, According to Harrlty,
Simply "Fenced tor Points."
ALTGELD AND STAFF ARE ACTIVE
They Havo Enlisted the Bulk of the
Bimetallic Support for the Abolition
of the Two-Thirds Itulf Vice
President Stevcnsoa Declines to
Discuss the Situation.
Chicago, July 1. The reconnoitre to
day of the skirmish guard of the silver
forces upon the outposts of the national
Democratic committee as planted by its
sub-committee was variously viewed by
the participants after the former hud
retired to its own camp. According to
Chairman Harrlty the visiting delega
tion, composed of Senators Turpie,
Daniel, Jones and Governors Stone and
Allgeld, simply "fenced for points."
And, acordlng to Governor Altgeld and
Senator Daniel, the fencing was en
tirely satisfactory to the silver side.
At least one of their colleagues, how
ever, was inclined to regard the out
come as a draw, with the Indications
favorable to the sliver men getting the
worst of It when final conclusions were
tried with the national committee next
Monday. The purpose of the visit of
the silver delegation to the national
sub-committee, as stated In the United
Press dispatches of yesterday, was to
present the views of the leaders of the
white metal majority concerning the
selection of temporary chairman, the
disposition of contents and the roll call
on the temporary organization. Sena
tor Jones led In the presentation of the
silver ease and was followed by Sena
tor Turpie and Govornor Altgeld.
When they had concluded Chulrmnn
Harrlty, who had previously consulted
with his associates and found them
to be of one mind, explained that the
sub-cpmmlttec was possessed of no In
herent power to settlu the question at
Issue. He referred the delegation to
the record of the preliminary proceed
ings of the sub-committees and the na
tional committees of '90 and '14 and
pointed out that it was the exclusive
province of the full national committee
to pass provisionally upon contesting
delegations in making up the prelimin
ary roll of that convention. As to the
matter of temporary chairman It was
one also altogether within the control
and discretion of the national commit
tee, but he was willing to promise that
nothing definite In this direction should
be done until the delegation had been
afforded on Monday, an opportunity of
conferring with the full body. For the
present himself and his associates,
without prejud'ee to eltrer side, were
poweilesd to act With this i.'umD of
comfort the delegation was compelled
to be content. As It withdrew Gover
nor Altgeld expressed the opinion that
judging from the reception accorded it,
there was every reason to hope that an
amicable arrangement would be
reached when the delegation was af
forded an opportunity of outlining its
position to the national committee.
BIMETALLISTS QUIET.
The bimetallic Demoeratlo national
convention dispensed with Its morning
and afternoon sessions pending a report
from the committee appointed to await
on Chairman Harrlty and his associ
ates, but Its quarters were the principal
centre of attraction and were crowded
by local and vlniting silverites through
out the day. Tho action of the Illinois
delegation In determining to lead tho
attack for the abrogaton of the two
thirds rule was a fruitful topic of dis
cussion and during the day It developed
that Governor Altgeld's scheme was in
danger from an unexpected source and
that Michigan rather than Illinois
might become the pivotal state and
wield the balance of power In the con
vention. Two delegates from the Fifth
district of that state. William F. Mc
Knlght and George P. Hummer, both
active free silverttee. were among the
visitors to headquarters and conferred
at length with members of the execu
tive committee. The situation In the
Wolverine state Is that while 14 out of
the 26 delegates are eilverltes the dele
gation Is instructed for gold and bound
to that standard by the unit rule. It Is
proposed however, to precipitate a fight
on the enforcement of that rule in ad
vance of any action on the two-thirds
Issue. In the event of the unit rule
being declared invalid there would be
no necessity for the substitution of a
majority vote for the two-thirds vote,
for the silver votes of the Wolverine
state would give that side the necessary
nominating majority and one or two to
spare This was the suggestion exploit
ed by the Michigan delegates, but it
was not received with especial enthu
siasm. ALTGELD ACTIVE.
Governor Altgeld and his lieutenants
had already enlisted the bulk of the
bimetallic support for the abolition of
the two-thirds rule, and it was held by
most of those approached by the Michi
gan men that the Illinois scheme was
an easier and a surer way of placing
silver nominees upon a silver platform
than any other attack upon the time
honored unit rule. Part of the plan of
the Michigan silver men is to go before
the committee on credentials and to
ask the unseating of the entire gold
wing of the state delegates, among
whom is Elliott Q. Stevenson, law part
ner of ex-Secretary Don M. Dickinson,
on the ground that the state conven
tion wns packed and a free expression
of opinion suppressed.
Secretary Sheerln reported to the
sub-committee today his allottmvnt of
tickets for the press, but the result will
not be made known until tomorrow or
later. Sergcunt-at-Arms Martin, when
waited upon by the committee ap
pointed at yesterday's caucus of the
Illinois delegation to demand addi
tional appointments and tickets, main
tained the stand tbut ho had previously
tnken and said with emphasis that not
a Chicago man would placed In charge
of a door. He succeeded in convincing
the committee that his position was a
light one, and It will so report when the
caucus reassembles on Sunduy morn
ing. Vice-President Stevenson's presence
under the roof of the Palmer house for
a few hours en route to his home in
Bloomington, failed to create even a
flutter of Interest. His callers were
numerous, but tvir missions Were
more social than political, and the vice
president himself declined to discuss
the situation or the coming convention
even from an abstract point of rlew.
It was noticeable, however, that most
of his callers were Identified with the
gold standard element of the Illllnola
Democracy, and this led to the circu
lation of a rumor that if the Altgeld bi
metallic element Insisted upon naming
the temporary chairman, Mr. Steven
son might be offered them as a com
promise based upon the fact that as m.
representative Illinois Demoorat he
could scarcely, with good grace, be an
tagonised by the delegation of this
state. As a matter of fact, however,
the rumor was more shadow than sub
stance. No such contingency has pre
sented itself to the suh-commlttee, and
this party will make no representations
on the subject to the full committee.
BLACKBURN RECEIVES VISITORS.
United States Senator Blaokburn is
the only delegate to attend the conven
tion preliminaries who Is an active
presidential candidate. His Interests
are being looked after by his friend,
Phil Thompson, Jr., of New York.
By uppointment. Senator Dubois, of
the bolting Republican contingent,
called on Senator Blackburn at his
apartments and had a conference In
the presence of Phil Thompson. Th
daho senators visit was In the Inter
ests of his leader, Senator Teller and It
Is presumed that the contingent sup
port of the Blackburn strength was
asked for by the Colorado senator. It
Is stated, and confirmed by the admis
sion of Senator Blackburn, that the
South feels very kindly towards Sen
ator Teller, especially because of his
fight In the senate against the Lodff
(force) bill, but it Is also said that
among the southern old line Democrats
Irrespective of . the money question. It
would be a difficult task to create a.
sentiment favorable to voting for a man
who only a few days ago was a Repub
lican. State Senator Bailey, of Indianapolis,
arrived at the Auditorium annex as
the advane agent of the Matthews
delegation from that state. He said
the delegation was unanimous for the
governor and free sliver. In spite of the
contest which Bynum la expected to
make on behalf of the gold faction.
Several hundred Matthew criers will be
here with the delegation and a band of
music Monday to open headquarters.
Comptroller Eckels Is keeping In the
background and does his work for the
gold minority without being seen or in
terviewed to any extent. "The silver
fellows," said he, "are trying to dis
rupt the party by attracting every
dissenting element to our ranks and
tearing the time-honored principles of
Democracy Into splinters. I cannot
foresee the consequences. That two
thirds rule should never be abrogated
and the national committee should
sharply rebuke the bimetallic commit
tee for presuming to dictate the tem
porary organization."
QUIET DETERMINATION.
There was an attendance of 35 rep
resentatve silver advocates at the ad
journed meeting in the Sherman hous
tonight of the national blmetalllo Dem
ocratic committee. Senator Jonas, of
Arkansas, on behalf of the committee
delegated to wait on the members of
the national committee, reported the
result of the conference this afternoon.
After numerous speeches moderate la
tone, but bristling with a quiet deter
mination to have their own way In spite
of a national committee of opposite
monetary faith and purpose, the meet
ing decided to continue the existence
of the conference committee with Sen
ator Jones as chairman.
Several of the leaders spoke In favor
of at once enhirRing the scope and use
fulness of the whole committee by mak
ing It a permanent convention organi
zation with the title of caucus to which
all silver delegates will be eligible to
come This proposition met with unan
imous favor and Senator Harris, of
Tennessee, was chosen chairman of the
caucus. The meeting adjourned to Fri
day night, or earlier at the call of the
chairman.
The general opinion of those present
was that the silver forces had lost no
advantage by going before the nation
al committee and that the mild manner
In which they were received led them to
believe that the silver men would be
allowed to organize the convention per
manently and temporarily eloct their
candidate and make their own platfotm
without any serious obstacles from the
gold men.
THE GOLD ELEMENT.
Among the gotd members of the na
tional committee who are being talked
about In a way which Indicates their
retirement In favor of the ruling ele
ments are Messrs. Cable, of Illinois;
Sheerln, of Indiana; Prather, of Mis
souri, and Richardson, of Iowa.
Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, of
South Carolina, who Is a delegate-at-large,
arrived this evening with D. H.
Tompkins, of the same state, and regis
tered at the Sherman house. The
fighting statesman announced his In
tention of entering Into the thick of the
fight to smother the gold men In the
convention at every stage, but did not
commit himself as to the presidential
candidate of his choice.
WILL REJECT BLAND.
Tbe People's Party Evidently Will Not
Play Second Fiddle to the
Democracy.
St. Louis, July 1. Chairman Taube
neck, of the People's party national
committee, when seen this morning re
garding a published statement that Mr.
Bland would be acceptable to the Popu
lists if the Democrats nominate hltn
for president at Chicago, said to the
United Press representative:
"I made no such statement, nor will
the People's party endorse Mr. Bland
if he Is nominated at the Chicago con
vention. The People's party has more
voters who will stand Up and be count
ed for free silver than any other party
In existence. The People's party Is the
only party which has honestly con
tended for the remonetlzatlon of stiver
at 1G to 1, and It. Is the only party in
existence whose members are united
for this demand. The People's party,
for the sake or a union of all the silver
forces at the polls in the coming cam
paign, will not surrender our organisa
tion or Individuality. If the Democrats
cannot meet us hslf way on a man like
Senator Teller, then that party Is re
sponsible for a division of the sllvar
forces in romlnsr campaign."

A VERY SATISFACTORY INTERVIEW
Each Candidate Is HigUr Please

Hobart Deelstes That Hew Jersey
Will Give a Majority of 00,000 for
the ResahUcas Tlekst.
Canton, Ohio, July 1. A large delega
tion from Medina county ualted on
Governor McKlnley at noon. Ha made
a short speech, local In Its charaoter,
and Introduced Mr. Hobart. who was
greeted with cheers. Mr. Hoeart did
not discuss Issues but thanked the peo
ple gracefully for their cordial greeting,
and then shook hands with every one
of the visiting delegates. He Is ir.&a
netlc la address and has gnat napaelfy
as a mixer.
Mr. Hobart left Canton at half -oast
twelve, having spent Just two hours in
the elty. He had expected to be here
till i o'clock, but found that he d
Major McKlnley could do all the talk
ing they had to do In a much shorter
time. Major McKmley drove Mr. Ho
bart to the station.
Their Interview was satisfactory on
both sides, and each candidate ex
pressed himself as highly pleased with
the personality and the views of the
other. Mr. Hobart thinks the situation
In the east encouraging from tbe Re
publican point of view. Me believes the
sound money Democrats are coming;
in large numbers to the Republican
party and predicts that a state of har
mony will be achieved In itvw York,
and that the slight dlsaa-reesnoats
which remain amossT Republicans in
that state will in no wise harm tha
ticket. Mr. Hobart Is particularly san
guine about New Jersey and declares
that It will give a Republican plurality
In November of not less than 60,000.
GLASS WORKERS CALL.
This afternoon 660 glass workers came
from Massillon. Many of them were
Democrats, but announced that they
would vote for McKlnley. In response
to a speeoh by their spokesman Major
McKlnley made a characteristically
happy response.
The picturesque and unique event of
the campaign was the visit of 3,000
delegates to the state convention of
Christian Endeavorers now la session
here. Shortly after 4 o'clock this army
of men and women marched to the Mc
Klnley resldeace In two great bat
talions. As many as sould find stand
ing room In the spacious grounds
crowded In and formed a dense mass.
Those In the rear filled the street on
both sides of the house, wbioh stands
on a corner for the distance of half a
block In either direction. It was an
Impressive scene. When. Major Mc
Klnley appeared he was greeted with
cheers and the Chautauqua saluta He
spoke briefly and after his remarks 3,000
people shook bands with him, and upon
his wife and mother, who sat near by,
flowers were showered. Before depart
ing the delegates sang "America," aad
S.000 voices Joined m the national aa
