KANSAS CITY, Jan. 8.-A Journal
special from McAllister, Indian Terri
tory, says: A report has reached here d
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 I
off and came out of the mine for sup- a
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 there was heard a terrible r
report followed by a rumbling as it of t
rolling thunder.
Men at the top of the shaft at once
sounded the alarm and made prepa
rations to send downi a rescuing party,
but found that the mouth of the shaft t
had been completely closed up by I
debris. When the messenger left noth- t
ing had been done toward getting the (
men out except to organize a relief party I
'which was to begin at once on the de-t.
bris. The Times special from McAlli s
ter, indian Territory, says: Twenty
tour hours have elapsed since the ter
rible fatal explosion in the Osage mine
at Kreb's, but it is still impossible to
even estimate the number of vi.-timis.
The number who came up alive at'(tr .
the explosion is still iunkimown anld enni
be determined only by a hiouse to house I
canvass, which is now being iiide ;is I
rapidly as possible. I-ron the facts a
now at liand it is lehieved thadt the i
killed will numiber filly I(0, tte in. i

the miners were able to make their way i

THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE.
Menmorial Touching the Depressom of
Agriouliural luduntries.
WAHINIToN, Jai. 15.-The Stato
'residents (of the Farmers Alliance at V
rieir lat e meeting here prepared a mem- 8
rial culling attention to the universal f
epression ini all departments of agri- a
ultural Intiuastry that have oppressed a
hie farmers of the United States with Ii
ravest concern and alarm. Despite t
he fruitfulness of the soil, favorable 1
limate, futhful application and indus- 1
ry, irrespective of seasons and hary- 1
sts, the price of farms and farm pro- t
acts are constantly depreciating in t
'alue. 1
The memorial continues that patient
mid earnest investigation of this ano- s
nalous condition of alTairs has im- 1
>ressed the farmers of the country that c
,he evils thus clogging and paralyzing i
heir energies are largely due to the I
liscriminating inequalities in the gov- C
rnmental policy whsch is the legitt- r
nate outgrowth of partial and unfriernd- t
y legislation. In their organized cap- t
icity, comprising thirty-eight States 8
and ten territories, the alliance had ad- '
)pted a declaration of its principles, a c
opy of which is submitted, and which t
hey believe, if enacted into laws, will a
estore the agricultural industry to its i
rue and just position among the great N
ndustries of tle country and conserve I
o the best interests of the public good. i
They call attention to the necessity g
of immediate legislative action for the s
inancial relief to busine*s interests of I
lie comntry. They assert that the pres- o
nt iinancial system is inherently defec- r
ive and incompatible with the genius t
md spirit of American institutions and
n conlilict witli the fundamental princi- c
)les of governinent. It was born of ex- 2
ideneics of .t mighty civil war and is J
mre:y a i vicary expedient, which, i
0hilt! it save(I the Ii fe of the nation In 1

eticent, one of his lieutenants, near by,
ilked quite freely, and his conversa
