Special to The asi-ki n
Washington, D. C. March 10. -Tlie
committee on ways nud means, to-day
heard representatives or hop growers
of the United Slates. 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.
He ridiculed the idea of one part of
the country endeavoring to play up
by employing duty against another.

Poktland, March 10. 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. Comment is unnecessary.
The truth of tho matter cannot bo as
certained as Alisky is out of town.

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. The latest
estimate gives the number at one
hundred and sixty.
