Associated Press.
Iron Mountain, Mich., Sept. 29. It
was reported this morning that the
Mansfield mine, a few miles from Crys
tal Palls, caved In last night, killing
40 miners. The miners are burled un
der a heavy mass, and there Is no pos
sible chance of escaping alive. Rescu
ing parties are hard et work. Unless
the Imprisoned men can be reached In
a short time they will all be lost, as the
wuter Is rising fast, and will soon
reach them even If they are not already
dead. The main shaft of themlne ex
tends under the Mlchlganne river, Ind
The subsiding of the ground turned the
stream Into the mine,, flooding it al
most instantly. There were sixty" men
in the mine, but fifteen eajied.
Later There are now said to have
teen only three men who escaped. l!4ity'
were In the shaft at the time of the
accident, and were literally blown out
by the rush of water and air. Thirty
seven are actually known to be dead.
The mine is flooded to the level of the
river bed, and it is impossible for any
cne of the missing to be alive.
Tony Bulletto, a skip tender, was
standing with Frank Rocko," the night
boss, at the shaft on the fourth level.
They 'heard the crash and realized
what was coming: . Rocko went Into
the drift to Inform- his men of the dan
ger, and did not return. Bulletto came
to the surface in the skip alone. An
drew Sullivan, another night boss, was
cn the sixth level at the time of the
accident Uncalled his men to follow
quickly. All but four on this . level
rtached the ladder In safety. As they
ascended, however, they were nearly
suffocated, so great was the air pres
sure caused by the water pouring
down the Bhaft. They were able to
breath only at each landing place and
came to the surface more dead than
r.Hve. Mine Inspector Roberts says his
deputy has been employed in the mine
and has given the work his dally at
tention. He also says he visited the
mine personally at required Intervals,
It Is clearly demonstrated," said he,
that the ring system of mining cannot
be employed in that sort of ground.
The company has taken all necessary
precautions in the conduct of the
work."
The lost miners are: Samuel Peters,
married; Jas. Strong, married; "W.- H.
Pierce, married; Frank Brocker, Swan

was developed about pix years ago and
worked continuously since. It is es
timated that 200,000 tons of ore were In
sight when the accident occurred. To
day It is a worthless pit, only marked
by a small bay caused by the sinking
from the natural bed of the Mlchlganne
ROBBED A CHINAMAN, ,
Cut Indignant Citizens Made Him Dis
gorge in a Hurry.
Boise, Idaho, Sept. 29. News comes
om Mountain Home that a few days
ago a Chinaman was held up by two
men and robbed of 1200. The highway
men were recognized and arrested,
their names being Clark and Shirley.
Shirley was released for the reason
that the victim could not identify him
owing to his being masked at the time
the robbery. The citizens then took
hold of the matter. They took Shirley
out and suspended him from a tree.
After being well choked he was let
down. He then disclosed where half
the money was. After being suspended
cain he said that of the other hair ne
paid a lawyer fifty to defend him, and
constable twenty dollars to let his
partner out of JaiL The remainder
as spent about town. The Chinaman
was glad to recovei" half the money.
A COMPROMISE.
At
last the Deadlock in the Senate
May Me Broken.
Washington, Sept 29. The democrat
: repeal senators have practically giv
i up the idea that the Sherman law
in be repealed unconditionally, and
have, after numerous conferences, ae-
cided ujon a compromise which they
holieve will end the long fight and
secure the passage of a bill to relieve
the
prt.-nt situation, by the ena oi
next w'K. ?-'
democratic repeal senators are actively
engaged in arranging the terms of a
compromise and tonight It Is believed
they have succeeded. It involves con-
sessions on both sides; it repeals the
purchasing clause; provides for the
coinage of a specified amount, of two
or two and a half million per month
until the total silver coinage shall
bo $7,000,000,000; . then the coinage
of all bullion in th-i treasury and
gold reserve to an amount which is
deemed, sufficient to Insure the main
tenance of, gold and silver at a parity.
When the proposition was submitted
to Secrelarv ftorllsle lost nleht he In
sisted uWj latter provision to the
agreement"'1 rfc general understanding
tonight is tut the silver republican
penators agr. to the compromise. The
only thing in the way ofthe program
now seems to be the president.
Washington, ' Sept 29. In the houne
he debate on the Tucker bill repealing
the federal elections bill was resumed

Cameron, of Pennsylvania, presented a
petition from the Philadelphia manu
facturers asking for legislation to re
tain . in'otectlon and the integrity of
silver -a a money metal on the basis
heretofore sent in these dispatches. The
repeal bill was tehn taken up. Harris,
democrat, of Tenness33, spoke against
It. Ho would accept any reasonable
compromise.
Morgan, of Alabama, then addressed
tile senate. He " began by discussing
the ; probability of securing a treaty
with. Great Britain on the silver ques
tion," which he said was very remote.
An International agreement in respect
to monetary matters was impossible of
(xeoution. Morgan did not conclude his
speech this evening, and in reply to a
question from Voorhees said he would
go on in the morning; if it was con
sistent for him to do so.

'BOTTLE PAPERS" AND OCEAN
CURRENTS. , .
In order to add to the exact knowl
edge of ocean currents, ther-s are forms
which are called "bottle papers." On
these little papers, an invitation, in
six languages, is extended to the mas
ters of vessels, to enter occasionally
upon the proper lines of the form the
name of the vessel, and her captain, the
date and .the ship's pobltlon; and then
to seal the paper in a bottle and cast
it into the sea. In other lines of this
form, a request is made, in the same
six languages, that the finder will write
clearly the exact place where, and date
when, any bottle waa picked up, and by
whom, and then forward it to the hy
drographlc office at Washington, or to
any of our consulates abroad. These
bottles, ' of course,' drift in the ocean
currents. Some are . picked up soon
after they'are thrown overboard, others
drift for over a year before being re
covered. They furnish valuable, rec
ords for more correctly fixing the cur
rents already known. . .
Day after day these reports are re
ceived by the meteorological office;
each one is acknowledged promptly,
and then given to the staff of workers
known aa nautical experts.
The result of their labor is that on
the last day of every month is Issued a
chart on which appears all the informa
tion received during the month that
has .gone. The chart, then, contains
a review of the past month, and a fore
cast for the rqonth that is to follow.
- The prevailing winds to be expected,
and their strength, as foretold by men
of many '- years experience, are given
for the month.' to coma The various
sailing routes best adapted for that
month are mapped out, as well as the
steamship routes adopted by the prin
cipal transatlantic steamship compan
ies. Every floating wreck, with its
position when last reported; each ice
berg as met with in Its place during
the preceding month, and the fog banks
determined in thj same way, are fixed
end shown by marks. Besides all this,
the latent charts that have been is
sued by the office, and the last "No
tices to Mariners" are mentioned. In
the upper left-band corner is either a
Httle chart prepared in addition, on
rome . subject of, timely interest, or
some further remark about things on
the great chart Itself. Lieutenant-Commander"
