Congressman Herman, of Oregon, addressed the committee on hop grmving, on the Pacific coast Mr. Herrmann advocated the ad vance or duty on hops from 8 to 20 cents per pound. He demonstrated thai lheco&tof raising hops on the coast had increased in the last j-e.en ears. At that time Chinese ami In dians had been employed bat now a higher class of laborers was employed. Ju addition, tho class of lands suitable to hop cnlturo had greatly increased in value as all lands in Oregon and tho other coast states had. Mr. nermann also showed in the second place that the ripening season comes so suddenly upon tho hop growers that they must mass their labor about the harvest time, which makes it very ex pensive. He denied the stntement mado by the brewers that the Pacific growers has never lost a crop, and didn't care for the duty on hops. It has often occurred that tho Pacific coast hop growers would not harvest the crop lecanse of foreign competition. Mr. Hermann presented to the committee a petition and reso lutions from growers on tho coast fa voring the largo increase of duties on hops. Mr. Bntterworth of Ohio opiosed the duty on hops. He says that New York hop growers were trying to make up by their efforts for tlie worn-out conditions of the lauds in New York.

For the past few days the talk of the town has been very sharp at a trick alleged to have been played upon Mr. C. A. Alisky by a real estate dealer who mulcted the formerout of $5,000. The story goes that Alisky desired to dis pose of his Third and Morrison street property for $175,000, and so bonded the same to the real estate dealer. Several days thereafter, a man claim ing to hail from Montana called on Alisky and offered him $200,000 for tho property, and, it is alleged, de posited a forfeit of $500. The real estate man holding the bond released it upon the receipt of $5,000 from the owner of the property, but the climax to the affair so far is that the Montana man has not been seen since.

ANOTHER COAL MINrHOBBOB, Que Hnudred and Sixty Welcti Miners Blown to Istant Death. 60OO RUSSIA' Z ADORERS STRIKE Special by The California Associated Press. London, March 10. A great explo sion occurred to-day at the Marfa colliery, in Cardiff, "Wales. Hundreds of miners are known to be in the pit, and their fate is as yet unknown. The explosion was attributed to a sudden change of temperature in the pit caused by the admission of a warmer current of air. The debris thrown into the wrecked colliery com pletely blocked the pit rendering any attempt to rescue the imprisoned miners entirely futile until great masses were cleared away. Upwards of 300 miners were imprisoned. About 200-were rescued from the workings, nearest the main shaft, most of them uninjured, but several fatally injured. Owing to later heavy falls of debris the explorers were prevented from penetrating the works, which are per vaded by choke damp. The -work of recovering corpses is slow.
