MINES AND MINERS.
Ohio Miners and IegislatiOn Affecting
Their Interest.

COLUMBUS, O., February THE delega'
the consideration Of matters affecting their
interest approved the bill Of Mr.. Jones, of
Jackson, placing miners on the same foot
ing with other mechanics in the matter Of
liens. As the law now stands, when a
miner sues an insolyent operator for wages,
the miner,may be construed as a contractor
because he works ny the ton, and thus he
loses all his rights as a laborer suing for
wages.
The Joint resolution of Mr. Love of Col
umbiana, providing for a commission to
inquire into the system of screening coal,
was taken up, and it was decided to ask
that all amendment be added to have a
practical miner on the commission. II
was also decided to ask the addition of q
section authorizing the commission to in
quire into the operations and results OF the
low for the prevention of the payment of
wages in scrip, and report the facts 10 the
Governor for the use of the General As
sembly, with such accommodations as
they deem necessary.
The bill OF Representative Peet, of Gin
cinnati, abOliShing the contract labor sys-
tenn il all the State prisons, was indorSed.
The miners claim that they have the same
interest in the subject as other mechanics.
In Kansas the State has adopted ths con.
viCt system in the development Of a coal
mine owned by the State.
Mine Inspector Roy has returned from
Summit county, where he went to inspect
a mine said to be unsafe on account OF the
contguity of an abandoned mine which is
full of water. The Inspector found the
abandoned mine filled with fifty acres OF
water, and so close to another underground
mine that there remains only seven foot
barrier of coal between. The men work
ing in this latter mine feared that the
water would break through and engulf
them all. When the Inspector arrived he
found that hole had been drilled through
the intervening barrier, and the water was
being slowly pumped out-a task the com.
pletion of which will require a period of
several months. Mr.. BOY regarded the
mine as safe for the present, but still in a
hazardous location had not the proximity
of the abandoned mine been discovered
Just when il was. as the miners might have
dug through the barrier and been drowned.
For this reason Mr.. Roy is inclined to
regard with strong favor the bill of Mr.
Snyder, Of Stark county, now in the House,
requiring the owner of every abandoned
mine 20 place certified plat or copy of
such mine, showing the exact shape and
location OF all its parts. on file in the re-
cOrderS Office OF the county where the
mine is located, to become part of the
land records OF the county. II is likely
that the miners will indOrse this bill also.

THE MINERS.
MIR. Costello Fears That a SettIem ent
will Not be Effected

PITTsBURGH, February 4.-On Tuesday
next the coal miners will meet to consider
the scale which the operators presented at
their last meeting. The President and
Secretary of the Association decline to
make any predictions as to how the opera.
tors scale will be received by the miners,
but Vice President Costello, when seen last
night expressed the opinion that it will not
be- rejected. Said he: IL hardly think the
miners will accept scale that reduces
their wages at the outset. They think that
the rate is low enough now, and / fear that
q hitch Will occnr in he settlement Of the
difference"
A gentleman who cane down the No.

opinion that the miners will all SOON be at
work again. In regard to the threatened
disruption in the miners ranks, he said:
1T seems that Mr. Coven called the Union
Grove meeting for the purpose of forming
a new organization with himself to lead,
but the men adjourned in order to frus-
trate his intentions and select more pop
ular man for president. The miners along
the river are opposed to Mr.. Shamiug and
a split in the organization seems inevita-
ble,"

A REPUBLICAN, SCHEME.
What the Republican Circular was In
tended for.

WASHINGTON, February 4.-To-morroW
the result of the distribution OF the circd-
lar by the Republican managers calling
upon each Republican member to be pres
ept in the House will be seen. 1t is said
that an attempt is to be made on that day
to suspend the rules and to pass the legis'
lative, executive and Judicial appropriation
bill. This is bold and unprecedented
proposision. The bill referred to. is the
most important OF ali the regular appro-
priation bills, containing as it does, appro'
nrations for all the legislative, executive
and judicial branches Of the government;
II usually receives the special and careful
attention OF both Houses. The attempt
to pass it by susPecdlng the
rules and depr;ving members OF the oppor.
tTnity for Offering amendments will meet
with vigorous protest in the House. 1t is
not believed that two.thirds OF the mem
bers will vote to pass it in this way. The
Republicans will probably vote sO'idly in
the affirmative and few Democrats may
vote with them but so far as can be aSc2r-
tanned most of the Democrats will vote IN
the negative. The bill is very long, and the
opportunity for improper legislation has
not been neglected by the men who are
whipping in the Republicans for the pur-
pose of railroading the measure through in
the Way indicated.

PENSIONS.
Some Things That Need ExpIs,ntnx

WASHINGTON, February 4.-The opera.
tions Of the Pension Bureau during the
last four months need a great deal of ex-
planation. Figures obtained from the
Treasury Department show that since the
beginning of the fiscal year the pension
payments have been in round numbers
sS4, ,OO0, 900, or an average of less than S.
100000 a month. This is at the rate OF
about s6O,OCOOOO a year. Now Commits
sioner Dudley asked for 300, 900, 900 for the
current year, and that amount was appro.
priated. Since the beginning of the presep,
session Dudley has assured committees in
Congress that the pension expenditures
would reach at least SIS 900 900. The
books OF the Treasury Department
show. that during the last four
months only $40, 900, COO have been paid for
pensions in spite of the fact that during
that time the increased force Of over 80
clerks allowed by Congress the last session
