MlNONK, III., Dec. 22 -At 5 o'clock yesterday a fire, which is still burning, brok out in a mine operated by t be Oblc-go& Mlnouk Cotd Mining Co., situated one mile from the city. The flames held 200 miners in deadly peril of their lives. All escaped, however, and few were injured. The man most seriously hurt was George Erblaud, who caused the disaster. He attempted to light a torch while standing near a can of konweue. The oil fUmed up. In his effort to extinguish the Are Erb laud upset the can of kerosene, which at once gave the flames great Impetus. The dry timber lining of the walls of the main shaft were ablaze tn an in stant, and tho fire spread with such ap palling rapidity that It seemed as though the men In the shaft must per ish. About luO of them escaped through tbe main shaft before the Are rendered it impassable. Two huudred meu were still at the bottom of the shaft, and the fire was spreading furi ously. Tho wildest kind of a panic prevailed uround the mouth of the shaft, where tho families of Imprisoned miners and other gathered. They found there was not sufficient hose to reach far enough down the abaft to be of ubo in extinguishing tbe flames and the Illinois Central at once dispatched an engine to Eureka for more hove. It caiue remarkably soon, tud two gallant fellows raado the at tempt to descend the shaft. Tbe smoke, however, was pouring out in such clouds that tbe men w re dragged back naif suffocated, and two others seized tbe hose and Btarted down. They were also drawn back nearly dead and a third equally unsuccessful at tempt was made. Then It seemed that uuleis tbe men succeeded In escaping by the ventilating shafts, their hop; was gone. There were three ventilat ing shafts, and to thqpe the men in the mine had rushed, crazed wjth fear, burned with tbe fallen timbers and choked and 'blinded by tbe amoke, which was .rapidly filling tho mine. Fortunately, every man reached the foot of one of these shafts and was quickly drawn to the surface. Inside of an hour after Erbland bad started the tire all the man wero safe above ground. Mauy reached the upper air in a desperate condition, but medical aid and freah alrsoon brought them around, and all will recover, with the exception of Erbland, whose Injuries were re ceived from the explosion of a cau of oil. At midnight the lire was burning furiously and wbb beyond control. It Ib Impossible to approximate the dam age. Harrison Honored.

Washington, Dec. 22, The house committee ou foreign attuirs considered the resolutions introduced by Hill and Boutelle relative to the Hawaiian pol icy of the administration, and decided to report a substitute, which, when re ported by Chairman MuCreary, of the committee, caused a scene In the house. Only three Republican members of the committee vere present. The meeting was not marked by auy lively demon stration. Following Is the substitute for the Hill aud Boutelle resolutiens: Whereas, It appears from the execu tive communications sent to the house of representatives that tho Uplted Btates minister and the United States naval forces at Honolulu exceeded their authority iu January, 1603, and Illegal ly aided lu overthrowing tbe constitutional-government in Hawaii, and Bet ting up in its place a provisional gov ernment, not republican In form, In opposition to will of the minority of tbe peoplo of Hawaii; therefore, Resolved, That It Is tbe son so of this houso that such Intervention by the government, Its representatives or armed forces Ib contrary to tbe policy aud the traditions of our repnbllu and the spirit of our constitution, and should be and Is emphatically con demned. Representative Storor, of the com mittee, offered a substitute for the reso lution adopted by tho majority, vhloh was rejected and which Btorer wished to Bubdtitute as a minority report, fol lowing la the resolution wnlcn em bodies tho votes of the minerity: Whereas, Executive communications to congress dlsolose that the executive department has furnished to a minister plenipotentiary of the United States secret Instructions to consplro with the representatives uud agonts of a deposed discarded monarchy for the overthrow of a friendly republican government, duly recognized by all civilized nations to which said minister was accredited, and to whloh his public Instructions pledged tbe good faith and Bympathy of tho presideut, government aud peo pie of the United Btates. . Resolved, That It Is the sense of this house that any such Intervention by the executive of the United Btates, Its civil or mlllUry representatives or offi cers, without the authority of congress, Is dangorouaand unwarranted, an In vasion of the rights and dignities of tbe congress of the United States and a violation of the law of nations; and further, that the manner ofauoh at tempted intervention by the executive and the methods used were unworthy of the executive department of the United Btatea, while the confessed In tent of such intervention is contrary to the policy and traditions of tbe republic and the spirit of the constitution. Eeod's Beport. Washington, Dee. ei tub report of the minority members or the ways aud means committee wan submitted to the house yesterday arternoon. i nai portion of the report discussing the bill generally was prepared by Rjed. The report ys: "The most surprising thing about this bill is the fcet that It Is a proposition to raUe revenues for ibm. which are only $2,000,000 above nences. This fact and the fact that hv this bill a large part of the burd n of taxation Is transferred from foreign. ersand brought to our own ciui should always be kept lu mind. Had the bill been for revenue only, the peo ple of the country mlghtseeat a glance whether they desired one polioy or the other and the question inlht have been saltled nno for all and the couij. try attalnei to that repoie and stabil ity on which our prosperity w much depends, doing Into the details of the bill, the mluomy -rJ .mi ber pun inrougn mo ... i-. boards, workmen who manage sawa are Uh unprotected while workmen who run plane re shielded by pro tective taritr taxes. The new method ofeucouralog mnuf-ctureM by glv iH. w!..L Is called 'free rw nulerUU so that what go Into the mill pays no taxes and what goet Into consumption ..,. .ii iIih taxes. It unfortuuaU-ly happens, also, that ,.Z r- mttrll u another man'a flu- for revenue tariff and yet does not raise the revenue; It pretouds to give pro tection but destroys It In every way. It says to the manufacturer, for you we furnish free coal, Iron ore, w.ml uud the markets of the world. Iuntiad, how ever, It furnishes a crop of uncmles, men who dig in tho mines aud raise sheep; for it really creates what Its ene mies falsely charge agaluBt Republican protection-privileged class, agulnst which the mines and field will array themsolves and with which the priv ileged class does not care to be priv ileged. What exact eflecl tho proposed duties would have on tho general rto of wages in this country can only be determined by an actual test, but it Is not dlllloult to see that It will be de pressing. An ad valorem duty, if prices could bo actually determined, would be fair, but unfortunately prices are very much a matter of opinion aud in asuiucu ub the duty depends upon the price, a cheat on price Is n cheat on duty, aud not only Is the government cheated, but tho manufacturer I cheated out of tho protection promUed him. How tho great deficit lu our resources, aa a nation, Is to be filled no one knows, unlesa the president, anticipating lu his message to congress tho report of tho committee on ways and means shall afford to tho commltleo Itself the wished for cluo. The report characterizes tho woolen schedule as destructive of tho wool growiug Industry, the seventh tn value of produotB among all branches of agri culture. At the prices now prevailing lu foreign markets our farmers cannot produce wool without absoluto loss. During the past year the threat of free wool has depreciated tho value of shoo? and wool lu the United Btates fully f60,000,000. Over 100,000.000 are Invested, and a quarter of a million operatives are employedlu the manu facture of woolens and this Industry Is oflcred up an' a sacrifice ou tho altar of (arid reform. Attention Is directed to the efleot of placing iron ore on tho free list. Tho result of this will be tho loss of over half a million In revenue, and to admit to competition with American ores, foreign ores produced at from one fourth to one-tenth the cost of produc ing American ores. Great slguillcance is attached to the fact that while hoop and band Iron and steel bear thirty per cent, duty iron ore and atoel ties for baling cotton are on the freo list. The cotton scale shows the same luuonslst epcy. The removal of tho duty from bituminous coal la considered au amaz ing proposition for the reason that coal has little value except what It gets from labor; It is the most universally preva alent of all the subjects of American Industry; the plate glsss luduniry la cited aa a splendid example of tho bene fits of the protective system. Ameri can competition and enterprise have reduced prices one-half In the past ten years; twelve plants with a capital of 18,000,000 employ 8000 men and sup port 40,000 peopl. a man's term of otllce expire befer It 1 out, and who has the power to rett i member o ' the o mncl ?

It fa to prevent redue tious In city expenses until after the ' present city officers and police force n'M reelected. Then the cry wlllbe, ytw! csunot reduce a man's salary while he :v; Is in ofilce.

' Ues amounting In all to about $90QQ a year. Tho reduction of 51005 in that offloe would pay three men ou tho streots foe a your, and support three families, and Marshal Mluto cannot say that It la tiot a fulr proposition. That laboring men should bo discharged and his high sal ary continual is an unjust proposition on the face ot It. The mayor's plan If carried out Is to contlnuo the present salaries; to continue warrants at a dis count and high rate of Interest; to con- , tlnue to gain for our city tho reputation for repudiation aud prevent going oats a cash basis, This Is not a credltabk program for a Republican mayor, R publicans should not bo deceived Into supporting It mi the ground that duty to party requires it. No such revolu tionary methods should ho counten anced In our city government. The members of the city council committed to reform should uot be drives from their purposo by any such methods. The plan la to force tho city to repu diation; to retain tho presout force oa high salaries; to continue tho present state of bankruptcy and to stop all pub llo Improvements and build up a politi cal ring.
