TO BUILD THE The Secretary Awards the Contract for the Big Ship to the Cramps. Secretary Tracy has cnt the Gordian knot of difticulty about the contract for the armored cruiser by giving the work to the Cramps of Philadelphia at their bid of $2,985,000 on their own plans, The other cruiser of 5,500 tons is awarded to the Union Iron Works of San Francisco on the bid of $1,796,000 on the basis of the department's plans. This firm was the only bidder for the smalier vessel, This distribu- tion of the work between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts was criticised this morning by naval people, who declared that the great cruiser, as it is to be built, will be a “cheap” ship, and by no means as effective as that which the department wished te build, The individual plan submitted by Cramp, on which his figures were but $15,000 lower than those of Scott, was a combination of the de- partment’s machinery and his own huil, which severalexperts declared would be impracticable, in order to make the award to an eastern firm it was necessay to accept Cramp’s bid on his own plan, but the Secretary stipulates that this plan be changed so as to preserve the depart- ment’s hull intact. Thus the design accepted is practically nothing more than the depart- ment’s original plan with Cramp’s arrangement of boilers. ‘The only change is an alteration of the interior bulkheads, dividing the machinery space into four engine rooms instead of two. THE SILVER DEBATE, Much Interest Shown as the Fight Draws to a Close, There was a grent display of iaterest in the Senate proceedings today, The attendance of Senators was much larger than usual and the galleries were well filled. The silver fight is reaching a close and both sides are getting excited, The agreement that it was thought yesterday would go, whereby the House Dill with the bullion redemption feature eliminated was to be adopted, has fallen through, and the silver men are claiming strength enough to curry free comage. Most of the democrats are’ ready to join with the silver Tepublicans .who are contending against a minority of their own party and the adminis- tration. Mr. Walcott made a twenty minutes speech in the Senate this morning, which created a sensation, After stating the silver side of the argument clearly, he made a bold attack upon the administration, Ow raz Retimep List.—Second Lieut, Frank H. Barnhart, eighteenth infantry, has been placed on the retired list, Tae Battmwore ar Norroix.—The eruiser Lome arrived at Norfolk today from Now THE DISTRICT CENSUS. Mr. Dingman Says the Work Has Been Done as Thoroughly as Possible. CASES OF PERSONS WHO HAVE NOT BEEY ENUMER- ATED—SOME PEOPLE COUNTED AND NOT AWARE OF IT—ONE DOUBTFUL DISTRICT—cOMPARED WITH OTHER RETURNS. This morning Mr. Dingman, the supervisor of the census for the District, stated that he had received the returns of all but eighteen districts, and he expected that before evening the returns from those districts would be sent in, with possibly the ex- ception of ten, He says that he believes the work was done as thoroughly as was possible in the time allowed. There have been, no doubt, he thinks, persons omitted in the enumeration, but thus far he has received notice of only seventy persons who have not been counted. They were omitted, Mr. Dingman says, not from any failure of the enumerator to call at the house but because he has been unable to obtain the information, The enumerators in some instances have been obliged to call at houses a great number of tim before they could get what they wanted. Mr. Dingman has no reason to believe that the enumerators have been remiss in their duties, but he does know that they have not had all the facilities extended to them by the people which might naturally be expected. ONE DOURTFUL DISTRICT. There is only one district about which Mr. Diugman is not satisfied,and he intends to have the work done over if he is allowed to do so in order to verify the returns and test their accu- racy. In the case of this enunerator Mr, Ding- man thinks that he allowed himself to be put off by the people and did not insist upon having the information. A good many people, he said, sent word to the enumer- ators wheu a call was made that they were too busy to attend to the matter then and to come again, In this way it was sometimes necessary for an enumerator to call at one house a num- ber of times. ENUMERATED AND DID NOT KNOW IT. Mr. Dingman has found that iua number of instances where people complained that they had not been enumerated that the information about them was given in by others. For ex- ampie, a hotel or boarding house is regarded for census purposes as one family. The information about the inmates of the house is generally obtained from the proprietor when it is possible, so that in this way people are enumerated ‘without their personal knowledge. COMPARED WITH OTHER RETURNS, Mr. Dingman has compared the returns for each district with those obtained in the last census and with the police census, and in this way he bas been able to discover great discrepancies, But, as stated above, there is only one district where he has reason to believe that the work has not been well done. and before the total jon is determined he wishes to ascertain positively whether his suspicions are correct. PERSONS WHO HAVE SUMMER RESIDENCES. The question has been presented to Super- visor Dingman as to the enuuwerations of per- sons who are residents of this city and are engaged daily in business, but who spend their nights for the summer months at places in Maryland or outside of the District. Mr. Dingman says that alt such per- sons should be counted as a part of the population of the District. In cases where the permanent residence is ontside of the Dis- trict he is of the opinion that they should be counted as citizens of Maryland or Virginia, as the case may be. He says that the enumera- tors are instructed to take the names of all persons of the first class and to endeavor to se- cure answers to the census questions. When the head of the house or any member of a family residing outside of the District are in the habit of spending the nights in this city away from the family then such persons should be con- sidered belongins to the Distric*, while the other members of the family should be counted in the population of the place of residence. THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN MISSED. Mr. Dingman is anxious to have the cen- sus made as complete as possible, and he states that he would be glad to be notified of in- stances where persons have been overlooked by the enumerators. Upon receiving such advice he will at once endeavor to secure the names of the persons omitted. Mr. Dingman can be communicated with either by letter or in pe sonat the Atlantic building, where his oftice is open night and day. He hopes that pe sons who happen to be living out of the city for the summer will take pains to see that they have been enumerated, He will furnish blanks and all needed information if requested to do so. THE LAFAYETTE MONUMENT, Senator Bate’s Resolution to Change the Site. Mr. Bate in the Senate today made an addi- tion to the literature on the Lafayette statue question by introducing a long resolution in regard to the matter, The resolution first refers to the report from the committee on the library, in which they disavow any share of responsibility in respect of the Lafayette statue, the selection of site or its erection, but recognize that interruption of view of the Jackson statue must result from the Lafayette statue if erected on the site selected. The idea of the chairman of the committee on tne li- brary that another statue of Juckson might be placed on the square in place of the present one isthen referred to and the resolution remarks that the entire scheme conveys an idea of experimenting with these two statues, as does also the contingency of the removal of the Jackson statue. ‘The resolution then con- tinues that it be resolved the statue Andrew son was located by Congress on its present sit because of the association of that illustrious soldier-statesman and patriot with the Execu- tive Mansion, to obscure the view of his monument by placing another between it and the Executive Mansion would be to reflect on the distinguished patriot aud soldier in a man- ner not approved by the American people and hurtful to both monuments. ‘The resolution then says that both statues deserve separate distinction and appropriate sites. ‘Therefore, continues the resolution, be it re- solved that the committee on public buildings and grounds is directed to select a site from the many beautiful and appropriate ones in the city of Washington on which to place the statue of Lafayette other than the site now selected, and further that the work in reparing the foundation and pedestal for the afayette statue be suspended until another site for it be designated, and that this action on the part of Congress is in no way to interfere with the present man- agement and proceedings in reference to the Lafayette statue or in any way affect the contracts and arrangements already made re- speeting said statue of Lafayette other than the change of site and necessary cost growing out of said change.

Laboring to Rescue the Entombed Miners at Farm Hill. eae THE MINE IS STILL ABLAZE. | _ None Saved Since Yesterday, But There is Yet a Chance of It. cease ey PITIFUL SCENES AT THE MINES’ MOUTH | —o Downan, Pa., June 17.—All night long the rescuing parties remained at the mouth of the manhole at Farm Hill mine, but their efforts were fruitless, and when daylight broke upon them they were no nearer the unfortunate men entombed in the burning mine. At 5 o'clock | last evening all hope of rescuing the impris- | oned miners alive was abandoned. Efforts were made to enter the burning slope through the Mahoney and the Ferguson mines. It was | found impossible to get near tho men through the former owing to the formation of the slope, and in the Ferguson pit the air was so bad that it was impossible to travel any distance. Under these Conditions the most sanguine of the workers yielded, and it was then determined to cut off all fresh air and let the mine burn itself out that the bodies of the men might be recovered. At the first drift a solid wall of brick well plastered was built across the open- ing. Material was wheeled down the entrance to where the men were at work and au air fan Was set at work supplying fresh air to the rescuers, Asa worker your correspondent was ing. ‘Traces of fire damp still remained in the air, and its effects were felt in au aching of the head and a partial loss of speech. There was little to be seen, Men were working like beavers to finish the wall. The only light was obtained from “davy” lamps, There was no wasting of breath in idie talk. All the strength of the men was needed in building the barrier. Through the interstices of the wall far off to the left could be seen a heavy cloud of smoke,cecasionally pierced by flames. Back of this wall of fire lay the bodies of the work- ers’ relatives and companions, THE SCENE THIS MORNING, At 10 o'clock this morning there was very lit- fiercer, the smoke blacker and the despair of the survivors deeper than ever before, The fight for the dead was kept up by the living all night, but the early gray of morning only found the rescuing party driven farther back from the death chamber, and they could not penetrate within 100 feet of the place they had reached last night. Early this morning Martin Mar- | key, pit boss of the Anchor mines. made a dar- ing attempt to reach the righ driftings of the Hi!' Farm mines from the Mahoney entrance, iby miles across the hills, He crawled over drifts and fallen slate to within 100 yards of the fatal chambers, and sounded again and again, but listened for a response in vain. The men Were either smothered or w: fighting the fire that was now steadily enc ‘bing on bruised, abandoned the hopeless task of seck- ing an answer from the 100 yards of solid dumb slate. The sight about the pit’s mouth is ail the mors pitiable because of the twenty-four hours of anguish that has rolled over the heads of the relatives and friends of the entombed miners, and hundreds stand steadily at the of smoke that secm to grow thicker every hour, indicating that the coal 1s now burning in- stead of timber and rooting. Cries for volun- responses came before the sentence had been finished, for there were no idlers. TELLING SAD STORIES. ‘They are telling sad stories about the mine today and one of the most touching is that of a man named Kelley and an old man named Hayes. The latter, it seems, had safe); carried Kelley from the pits in Lancashire, England, | three successive times, and Hayes bore terrible sears to show the fight he had with fire for the sake of his friend. When Hayes rushed into the mine, after the explosion y: his son, whose unguarded jamp had set the damp on fire, he fell dead within a stone's throw of his boy’s body. Then there came crawling in after him a gaunt, blackened spec- ter, who gathered his scorched form tenderly in his arms, and Kelley carried all that was mortal of his three-times savior to the open air and fell burned and blind, ater reports say the mine is inthe entire clarge of Mine Inspector Keogbley and he is making strenn- ous efforts to enter from the Mahoney drifts, They tell the women and children that their people may be alive in a distant cham- ber, but they scarcely hope and certainly do not believe it themselves. Coroner Holbrook is here this morning and viewed the two dead bodies, but refuses to hold an inquest | or render a verdict until the other bodies | are recovered, and no one seems to be able to guess wien that will be. Au air fan to furnish Ventilation to the mine will be put in operation this afternoon in the Ferguson pit, as work will also be commenced there. THE CAUSE OF IT. There seems to be many views as to the cause of the fire and the proper place, if any, for placing the blame. Coroner Holbrook has appointed three miners and two citizens on the jury. He placed the miners there because they; were the greatest sufferers and because they wanted a show if the remedy qpuld be applied. The mine is so located that flooding the fire is impossible and smotherin it means certain death to the men below pro- vided any are living. Nearly ali the mines in | this region are closed down and men, money | and provisions are pouring in on every train, A rescuing party has just appeared at the Ferguson mine and report the chambers of that drift rapidly filling with smoke. This de- lays if it does not entirely cut off all hopes of reaching the imprisoned men from that mde. | Some slight hope was raised at noon by the | return of Walter McCleary, one of the rescuing | patty. who reported that far down in the slope e heard a mule braying as if in great distresa, ‘This leads to the belief that the men may yet be living. Great crowds are arriving on every train and flocking to the scene of the disaster. Panta ig Not Mentioned.
