Mr. MeKinley, of Ohio, offered an
amendment specifically including glass

blown glass at a duty of 10 cents a dozen
and 10 per cent, ad valorem.
Mr. Bland, of Mo., said the proposed
increase wa intended to enable a few
gentlemen, at tho expense of the people,
to make fortunes. He denounced the
bill as a measure of petty thievery and
highway robbery.
In respond to a question by Mr. flen

that the present duty on lamp chimneys
was 45 per cent, and the proposed duty
Wt veen 50 and CO per cent.
Mr. Henderson inquired how many
laup chimneys were imported.
Mr. MeKinley replied that he had no
exact data.
Mr. Henderson then wanted to know
how, if Mr. MeKinley had no exact data,
ho knew that the duty should be in
creased. Applause aud laughter on the
Democratic side.
Mr. MeKinley said tho committee
knew that it was impossible for the peo
plo to manufacture these chimneys un

tinue to pay the present rate of wages.
Mr. Henderson said that he would de

whatever, when he had not the informa

SENATOR CARLISLE.
As foreshadowed in our telegrplrc ac
count yesterday, the Democratic caucus
in the Kentucky Legislature has nomi
nated Hoa. John Griffith Carlisle for
United States Senator to succeed the
late Senator Beck Four years ago Mr.
Carlisle declined to go to the Senate
when an appointment was tendered
him.
Wo rejoic3 in the elevation of Mr.
Carlisle. Ue is a worthy successor
to Senator Beck and is worthy
to fill tho teat of the greatest Kentucky
statesman, Henry Clay. No American
surpasses Mr. Carlisle in a knowledge
of economic questions, and he will be a
valuable accession to the Democratic
party in the Senate. With the excep
tion of Senators Beck and Vance, tho
Democratic Senators have not been so
well trained and posted in economic
quostions as the Republicans, while in
the House the Democrats have possessed
more accurate Knowledge ana more
a I 1
real statesmanship.
No man ever took a seat in the
Senate hotter qualified to render
valuable service to his country than Mr.
Carlisle. He was born September 5,
1835, is now 5."i years old, and has many
years of usefulness baforo him. Here
esived ouly a common school education
anil afterwards taught school at Coving
ton. He read law, and was admitted to
the bar in 1858, and has practised since.
In 1859-01 he was a member of the Ken-
tucky House and
. " ' .
was elected
18G6, and
iJ me benate in
re-elected in 1S09. He was elected
Lieutenant-Governor in August, 1871.
Ho was first elected to the Forty-fifth
Congress, and has
every subsequent election. As Speaker
of the House and Chairman of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means he has ren
dered signal service to his country.
Mr. Carlisle will make an able Sena
tor. He is not a leader of men, and his
forte is in a judicial rather thau in u par
liamentary way. The country will ap
prove the choice of the Kentucky Demo
crats. THE ASSEMBLIES.

A MINE DISASTEK.

ENTOMBED
Houses Sink Down A Fire Ragmg in
the MineNineteen Rodies Taken
Out Horribly Mangled.
By United Press.
Wilkesbarre, May 15. A cave-in oc
curred at 9 o'clock to-day at Ashley in No .
8 mine, operated by the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal Co., by which twenty
four men were entombed in the mine.
The scene of the disaster this after
noon is one of intense excitement.
Hundreds of men went to work to en
deavor to rescue the imprisoned min-
e is, and at seven o'clock to-night ono
was brought out alive, but burned al-
most to a crisp. The fire was not be-
fore suspected, and now fears are enter-
tamed that none or the miners will be
saved uninjured, and that all are dead,
Tho present cave-in extends over half
of a mile square, and includes a portion
of the thickly settled village called Maf
ett's Patch. A large number of houses
have gone down with the surface, but
only a few of them have been badly
damaged.
Nineteen Rodies Taken Out.
Wilkesbarre, May 16. Exploring
parties have found nineteen dead in the
mine. Six more are missing, and it is
probable they are also dead. All the
men, with the exception of those rescued
last evening, it is now said, were killed
by the explosion wrhich occurred two
hours after tho cave-in took place. The
bodies of the victims are being taken
out. They are horribly mangled, in
some instances, heads having been blown
entirely off.
The Ross of the Mine Dead.
Allen, the fire boss, who was rescued
from the mine alive last night, died to
day. A Heartrending Scene.
The dead bodies of nineteen miners
havo been recovered. The scene at the
mouth of tho mine was heartrending
when the bodies wore brought to the
surface. Police had to be employed to
prevent the women from rushing into
the mine.
How the I) winter Occurred.
General Superintendent Phillips, in an
interview wuh a reporter of the Uu.itd
Press, says: '-the men lost their lives
through the negligence of assistant mine

From time immemorial the Kentucky
Assembly has always adjourned to at
tend a "good horse race," and the great
yearning pain that entered the hearts of
the members as they thought upon it
caused a pall of sorrow to fall over the
assemblage. For awhile it looked as
though the United States senatorship
would go to the dogs, and that the Leg-
lature would go to the Derby, but
cooler judgment prevailed, although bv
a small majority, and the motion was
defeated. The people ot the State will
appreciate the great sacrifice that was
made iu order to select a htting repre
sentative in the highest deliberative
body of the land.

was but in charge of Ronald McDonald
under a lease ot nve years.
Hon. Kemp P. Battle made a report

Special Cor. of State Ciieoxicle.
Washington, May 14, 1890. Interest
is still intense in regard to the Kentucky
Senatorship. A distinguished journal
ist, residing here, to-day received a dis
patch from Mr. Carlisle in which he
stated that he felt confident of -the elec
tion. He thought, however, it would
be tho latter part of this week before
the caucus nominated him, on account
of the great number cf aspirants. He
had no doubt, however, of the ultimate
result. This prediction on the part of Mr.
Carlisle is entitled to unusual credence.
He is never 6ver-sanguino and seldom
makes a prophecy which is not fulfilled,
especially as regards himself.
To-day Hon. Thomas G. Skinner se
cured the promise of the Committee on
Public Buildings to favorably report his
bill appropriating $50,000 for the erec
tion of a public building at Elizabeth
City. There was considerable opposition
to the bill, but Mr. Skinner had sufficient
tact and influence to overcome it. Sev
eral members of the committee urged
that the place was too small to justify
such an expenditure. Mr. Skinner, how
ever, convinced them to the contrary.
Senator Edmunds' bill to appropriate
money enough to establish a national
university here is a move in the right
direction. One clause in Senator Ed
munds' bill, however, which admits all
races will render it impracticable. Wash
ington is rapidly becoming a university
town but it will be impossible to make a
mixed school a success. The Catholic
University is rapidly approaching com
pletion and so far, the buildings are
models of architectural beauty and con
venience. The site for the Methodist
University has been purchased in a most
eligible location. A great deal of mon
ey has already been contributed aud

Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks is in the
city at Willard's. She is looking very
well and has not changed much since her !
husband was here in the Senate.
It is believed here that Judge Poole
and Oliver Dockery will soon vitit their
home in North Carolina. Judge Poole
will probably remain permanently. He
does not like tho climate or tho expense
of living in Rio Janeiro. Oliver Dock
ery, who is acting minister, has the same
objection to Rio, but did not resign, as
Judge Poole did, before he left Brazil.
Claudius Dockery is temporarily filling
the place made vacant by the resigna
tion of Judge Poole. The official papers
confirming this report had not been re
ceived up to date at the State Depart
ment, but there is very little room to
doubt its correctness.
Mr. Brower says an election bill of
some sort will certainly pass this Con
gress. He does not think the Lodge bill
will be popular because it favors the
Australian ballot system. Something
like the Rowell bill is more nearly in
accord with his idea of what an election
bill ought to be.
In spite of a statement to the con
trary, Mr. Coleman, of Louisiana, is the
only Republican member of the House
of Bspresentatives who will dare to
break the party ranks and refuse to vote
for the MeKinley tariff bill. The others
will be whipped in.
Praise of Dr. Kingsbury and the Fay-
etteville Light Inlantry.
(Extract from Memorial address de
livered by Walter H. Neal, Esq., at Fay
ettevilie.) Let us engrave it upon the hearts of
the people that we will not depart from
the landmarks which our fathers have
set. This may be done by educating
the people at our annual gatherings, and
I want to thank Dr. T. B. Kingsbury
publicly for his labor. His name ought
to be embalmed in the hearts of every
true North Carolinian. He has stood
by the Constitution as the palladium of
our liberties, for under that imperial
a-gis only may we even hope for bles
sings to our posterity. I shall embrace
this opportunity to congratulate the Fay
etteville Independent Light Infantry
upon its recent declination to abandon
the uniform which Jackson and Lee
wore. I salute your brave Company, Maj.
McLauchlin; such an act was worthy of
him who would die for the right. The
South is superior to its traducers, to its
slanderers and its calamities. This oc
casion and my time will not permit me
to tell of her minerals, her water cour
ses, her climate, and her vast capabili
ties, for I have already detained you too
lorg.
