with tho salaries attached, President-elect
Harrison can mako suitable selections and

Nearly 200 Miners Killed by an Ex
plosion at Pittsburg, Kan.
RESCUING PARTIES TWIOE DRIVEN BACK
Tho
Victims l'robnlily Unrlcil Undir
Tims of Slnto nnd Coal,
St. Louis, Nov. 10. A specinl from
Pittsburg, Kan., to tho Republic- gics
tho following account oi tho coal mine
explosion there lost evening:
A teirillo explosion tli.it broke win
dows in this littlo village, nnd spread
coustciiiatlon among HH inhabitants oc
cupied nt dusk to-nlghk Thu violence of
tlio shock ytus so great tlltit it hurled
dishes itrom Kliclwcx and dcmoiiiihed
chlmuess. Halt an hour after tho ex
plosion tiho villagers, who were pipparmg
to go to the minis, wero start ltd by the
bight ot it rugged, bleeding man, v. no al
most btnggcied into the Urins of tho
M-archcrs. He said that shaft No. 'J, at
Jb'ontcuuc, a mining suburb ot this village,
bud been destroyed by an explosion, and
that all tho men in tbo mine at the time,
except himself nnd a Dane, 'whom ho left
bkeding at tbo mouth of tho pit, 'wero
undoubtedly tlend.
At tho mouth of the mine the tremen
dous force of the cx'ldosiou w'asupparcnt.
'llieiQ wero Ilium seams In llio emtli. and
the tlmbcis ot the hoisting apparatus
Acro shivered and burned; foul gases
wero escaping. The Dane who had es
caped with the man who had nlnrmcd
tho vlllugcis lay In tho mtttl with his
face covered with blood. For a long
time it wus thought ho was dead, but hu
regained consciousness in a few limits,
nnd is now nt his home Ho cannot,
hlieak, and docs not know what caused
tho explosion. Ills clothes were in lib
bons. The mini who reached this village
with the fltst tidings of tho disaster, and
who accompanied tho tocucrs back to
the mine, wild the men wero nbout to
quit work for the day when the explo
sion occuired. Together with the D.ino
ho had ridden in tho car to tlio top or the
slmtt when the earth seemed to snap be
neath him, mid the next tiling he teul-
iz.cu amis mo spiasmng 01 tlio biiow and
water upon his face as ho lay with bis
comrade in the wicckage nbovo the mine.
There, were KJO men in the mine at tlio
liino ol tho explosion, nnd as they weio
at work 112 feet below llio suifaco
Jfc iM believed that no ono survived the
bhock, as the explosion must have de
stroyed everything in the pit.
Hig fires wero built near the mouth
ot tho pit mid bewido thce blazing piles
the women of tlio entomed njinem placed
their chlldien, whllo they themselves
tiled by all kinds ot entreaties to ln-
uuco ino miners irom tlio other simits
to enter the pit and rescue their lelatlves.
One rescuing party started down the
bhnft nt 7 o'clock, but wus foiccd to
tuui back, owing 10 tlio foul air. An
other attempt wus made an 0 o'clock,
but the lescucrs nguin wero forced to
ubandun their work. They could hear
no sound from chambers below, and
this lends old miners to bollevn that all
tho men In tho shaft have perished.
Other cfToit.S will bo made to reach (ho
entombed men before morning.
Tlipso who started down tho shaft
early In tho evening bavv that the shook
had destroyed wholo drifts, and that It
is probablo that tho men in tlio lower
levels aro burled beneath tdns ot shite.
Dlnok damp is supposed to havo caused
tlio explosion. Most, of Yhfl miners at
theso shafts came originally from Illinois
nnd Pennsylvania.

KjKdat to the llaltUnti f Sun,
Washington, Nov. 0. Senator Gorman
Is back fiom New York, feeling as com
lottablo ns could bo expected under tho
circumstances. He hud Just returned
from ii visit to tho Whlto lloitso and the
Nuvy Department when it representative
or The Sun called upon him this after
noon nt his K stteot rcsjduicc. Tlio
Maiyhiid Senator Is nbout tlio only
Democrat In tho city, cXccptlngtho Pics
ident, who seems to lie nlilo to .look plcav
ant. and tuko a nhllosophlcnl view of the
lesult, ot the election. ' Tho -contest,"
bald he, " was fought out upon tho line
of policy laid down by the I'icsidcnt in
his Mcssngo and by tlio action of the
Debiociatio majority in the House. Tlio
tariff Issuo wus over present throughout
this cutnpalgn, ilnd It seems as though
tho Rciiubllcnns liavo mudo the country
bellcvo that wo weio committed to frco
Untie, unci tho pcoplo pronoilliccd ugalnst
it. Our position was grossly mlsiepre
bcntcil, as our party has not at nny tlmo
dechucd for fico trade, but simply for a
reduction of excessive taxation, but the
enfh-words of tlio canvnss wero all
against us. Wo have gono down in a
contest cntLrclv free from iiersonalitles.
a fact upon which the country is to bo
congiutulatcd.
" Col. Ilrico will, of couise, como In
for a general round of abuse fiom his
dlsnppointcd party friends. All men
havo to submit to It when they do not
succeed. Tho fnct is. Col. Ilrico had
nothing to do witli making or shaping
mo issues oi tlm campaign, lie simply
conducted it, on the lino tliut was marked
out for him. I le did his work well, with
line good Judgment, tact autl cneigy,
and witli that degrco nt loyalty that has
f-curtoly ever been equaled and never
excelled.
" Why," continued the Senator. " for
tho lirst two mouths of tho campaign
nu st ot his lime was consumed In trying
to induce active anil liillticntial Democrats
to forget their disappointments and enter
henitlly into thu contest. Personal
grievances weio Very haul to overcomo
tu some Instances, nnd it was a dilllcult
matter to mouse some of tho most valu
able party vvuikcrs. By thu time theso
piejtidic.es weio supposed to bo over-"
come Col, Ilrico had but llircc weeks
left, to devote to thu opposition."
"What wero tho leading causes ot
defeiit?" was asked the Senator.
lie hesitated lor a moment nnd then
said: "Pardon me, but I don't euro to
go Into a discussion ot the issues ot tlio
campaign at I'hls time. There lb nothing
to be gained by doing so now. At. tlm
procr time I propose to confer with our
party friends when wc como together to
prepare lor future contests. That will
lie nmplu time for the discussion ol that
subject-. I sinccicly believe the doctrlno
or tho Democratic i.irly has tho suppoiti
ot the majority ol thu people, and al
though we aro defeated wc will come up
smiling nguin four years hence.
" Theio Is ono thing this election lias
bclltleil," Mild the Senator, with cousld
erablo emphasis, " .nnd that is that tills
Government enn bo administered only
llnough and with tho nsslstancu ot
pailles."
Tills wus as much ns the Senator eared
ta say for publication about the Presiden
tial contest.
" What do you think of tho result in
Maryland, Senator ?"
" Well, I must confess I nm very
much suipriscd ut the vote in Maryland.
I have not job bad an oppnrlunitj to
go into tho details nnd btudy out the
causes and cITects, but tlio lesson I
learn from tho returns, so far as I havo
been ublo to sco tlicm, is that tlio maiiu
factureis aud tbclr operatives threw
their wholo power and stiengtli to the
Republicans."
" Have you any fear tlmt.jtlio State
will Hop over Into the ltcpulillcan iiolumn
in the near future?"
" Oli, no! As soon ns wo can get our
party in lino nguin wo will recover tho
lost giountl Just as wo did after tlio
Gicelev enmpaigu. Wo lost Compton's
dlstilct then bv 1.700 majority, and
camo xer.y near losing tlio Stat', but wo
ieorgnni7cd our foiccs, tho Democracy
nsscitcd itsolt again, and wo legained tbo
position wo 1 md lost, and wo will do bo
again at the next election."
