passed by the Senate this week, and it is eX
pected that the interstate commerce bill will
then command the attention of the Senate af-
ter o'clock each day until disposed of. The
bankruptcy bill and general pension bills are
on the caucus committees programme for

Island bridge bill. He will also ask that dur
ing the morning hour the shipping bill be
taken up, discussed and passed

Hundreds or Families without the Nee

A special dispatch from Elk Garden, W.
Va, says: The suffering and restitution
among the coal miners of this and the Georges
creek region are becoming terrible. For a
year past nothing has been done in the
mines and hundreds of families are without
the commonest necessaries of life
A tour of the cottages brings to light many
sad scenes, the women despairing
and half starved, and children crying from
hunger. Committees Of men have gone to all
the surrounding cities, even as far as Balti-
timore, Pittsburg aud Wheeling, in the hopo
of securing contributions of money or food
for their families. Labor organizations and
the charitable are urged to send aid to Sam
