AN APPALLING DISASTER. ONE HUNDRED MEN BURNED TO DEATH IN A COAL MINE. The Explosion Blocked the Shaft and Those Who Escaped Had to Climb Out of the Mine Unaided-I1artrending Scenes at the MinsC. KANSAS CITY, Jan. 8.-A Journal special from McAllister, Indian Terri tory, says: A report has rea!hed here from shaft No. 5, of the Osage Coal and Mining Company at Krebs, that a terri ble explosion occurred there at 5 o'clock last evening from the effects of which two hundred lives will probably be lost. It was just before the day shift changed off and came out of the mine for sup per when a puff of smoke was seen to escape from the mouth of the single shaft to the mine, and immedialely fol lowing this therc was heard a terrible report followed by a rumbling as if of rolling thunder. Men at the top of the shaft at once sounded the alarm and made prepa rations to send down a reseuing party, but founa that tile mouth of tie shaft had been completely closed up by debris. When the messenger left iotli ing had been (lone toward getting the men out except to orgainze a relief part y which was to begin at once on the do bris. The Times special from McAllis ter, Indian Territory, says: Twenty tour hours have elapsed since the ter rible fatal explosion in the Osage lilne at Kreb's, but it is still impossible to even estimate the nmntiber ( vi:tims. The number who camte p aliv alte-r the explosion is still unknown aid car be determined only by a hotiuse to house canvass, which is uow being nide as rapIdly as possible.

Cap.r. , THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE. A Memorial Touching the Deprommiom of Agricullural InduAtric". WAIINWrON, Ja. 15.-The State 'residents (of the Farmers Alliance at their late meeting here )repared a mem orial culling attention to the universal depression in all departments of agri cultural industry that have oppressed the farmers of the United States with gravest concern and alarm. Despite the fruitfulness of the soil, favorable climate, fuithful appilcation and indtus try, Irrespective of seasons and harv ests, the price of farms and farm pro ducts are constantly depreciating In value. The memorial continues that patient and earnest investigation of this ano malous condition of affairs has im pressed the farmers of the country that the evils thus clogging and paralyzing their energies are largely due to the discriminating inequalities in the gov ernmental policy whsch is the legiti mate outgrowth of partial and unfriend ly legist.t.ion. In their organized cap acity, comprising thirty-eight States and ten territories, the alliance had ad opted a declaration of its principles, a copy of which is submitted, and which they believe, if enacted into laws, will restore the agricultural industry to its true and just position among the great industries of the country and conserve to the best interests of the public good. They call attention to the necessity of immediate legislative action for the fin,tcial relief to business interests of the country. 'They assert that the pres ent financial system is inherently defec tive and incompatible with the genius and spirit or American institutions and in contlict with the fundamental princi ples of government. It was born of ex igencies of a mighty civil war and is pure: a 1;ilItary expedient, which, while ir, saved the li ft of the nation in war, h.is d(monstrated that it is not the sy-tem for the prservaion and perieejoi (f national life in peace.

WAsHINUTON, Jan. 7.-Chairman Webster's call for the meeting of his State committee of the defunct g. 0. p. for the 7th instant has occasioned quite a stir among the braves of the "bread and butter brigade" from South Caro lina now in Washington. They claim the coming address of Webst.er will knock the spots out of J. Ilendrix Me Lane, Vice President Clayton and the Rev. R. W. Memminger's side show of the g. o. p , ;I s address and the call for the State Convention April 12, In Co lumbia. Tom Miller was questioned on this subject last night in the lobby of the Metropolitan Hotel, but he refused to discuss the matter further than to say he would not attend the meeting of the Webster-Cunningham and Miller's committee on the 7th. While Tom was reticent, one of his lieutenants, near by, talked quite freely, and his conversa tion, though unique, was interesting. Said he: "Congressman Miller will not attent the meeting of the executive committee on tho 7th. You see if twant for dat McLane address, cussin' all we good, true Publicans, Miller would (lone resign him place on do Webster committeo but he is 'fraid if he resign now him act will help dat McLane gang, en doy is down on ebry good kullud Pablican in de State.
