The Strike Only Half Settled on Account
of Kicking Huns.
PITrSBCRG, February 22.-At a largely
attended delegate convention Of coke
workers at SCottdsle to-day it was decided
to accept the sd-snce offered BY the
operators and return to work at once. In
q minority report the Hungarians decided
to stand out until all prisoners are re.
leased from Jail Among other matters
discussed was the store order and large
wagons, but miners agreed 10 return 10
work and let these matters be adjusted
under the law.
AN ATTEMPT TO FREEZE OUT THE HUNS.
MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, February 22.-
There was general resumption OF work
in the coke regions today 1t was feared
that the Hungarisns would cause trouble
but they weakened this morning and
placed no obstacle in the path OF the work
men. At the Valley mi es the men went
in and came ont again in body, for local
grievances. The Hungarians ore tiockiug
into the Offices tor checks, to day, and
many Of them have been refused
work. They are angry because any
compromise was made. 1t is
thought an effort will be made to freeze
them out and compel them to leave the
regions.
A Connslisville dispatch says the Hun
gariaus psrsded through the northern part
OF the regions all night, threatening vio.
lence to sl who returned to work. Ths
police are on guard and no serious trouble
IS spprehended. At the Morcsllard /
Wheeler mines the men struck again be-
cause the company refused to reduce the
size of the wagon.

Miners in Convention.

WraAEsBARRE, Pa, February 22.-An
important meeting OF the miners of Luzene
county was held here to-day. The attend
snce Of delegates from various parts OF the
county was very large. During the session
an executive board was organized and it
was decided that there should be har-
monious feeling between operators and
laboEers and such az would result in con-
and arbitration instead OF strikes.

Ing a subjec

Senator James B. Beck, of Kentucky, is
the only representative of the "land O
cakes congress. He is fully, six feet
tall, stout, broad shouldered and heavy.
Time has dealt gently with him, and while
his whiskers, which he wears half
cut"-that is his broad
rudy cheeks shaved, and lips,
chin and throat covered with thick beard
of medium length--shOw considerable of
gray, his hair which is thick and curly, is
changed but little from it's original color
of dark brown. trait of his which is
uncommon in stout men, is to drop his
head forward, especially when talking.
His oratory should be classed as earnest
rather than fluent or polished. He never
trims sentence for effect, and spends
little time or study on eXOdiuIn. If he
were to write book he would probably
forget the preface. His utterance is not
so distinct as to be perfect, and his Ian
guage is not full, but in force and effect
his argument is admirable. The one sub
iect that he delights in discussing is the
tariff. Upon this he is always at home.
This of all topics he has studied and made
familiar as household words. His earnest
ness hasfull scope and all phazes of the sub
ject are familiar to his mind. He is ut
terly and unanimously opposed TO protec-
ton as feature of national economy, and
is always headed with argument to refute
it. Unotficially he is social and delights
in pleasant repartee. He will not weigh
himself down with care, and feels but lit
tie senatorial dignity, but when he reaches
the committee room or the senate cham
Der he puts on business and elevates his
whole mind to the questions that are be-
ing discussed. He is very popular with
the employees of the senate, especially with
the pages, with whom he always exchanges
pleasant words. In dress he is plain and
sometimes careless. When returning
from a trip in the far west last October,
his brOnzed appearance and farmer-like
hat and dress caused a Chicago reporter
to bring him out as the coming granger's
candidate for the presidency. AS soon as
his attention was called to the item, he
said: Don't the simpletOn know that l
was not born in the United States ?"-and
purchased a suit which would
not lead to further mistakes of that kind.
He is full of sympathies. No one is too
lowly for him to notice, and he knows no
but that of worth and truth
For twenty years he has been the presi-
dent of the farmers Kentucky horse asso-
citation, and is an enthusiastic admirer of |
horse-fesh. When Foxall was making his
great triumphs on the English turf, Mr..
Beck was in raptures. He gave a truce
to tariff and knotty Legislative subjects,
and reveled in recountiug the qualities of
the American horse. In the midst of one
of these bursts of enthusiasm brother
Senator-a close friend, of opposite politi
cal faith-deeply wounded him by asking
whether Foxall was running or trotting
horse. This display of ignorance nearly
disrupted friendship of many years
standing.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-05-20

ject and careful, 1nimpassioned dictiOn
call for few corrections and no amend
ments. His voice never rises above an
ordinary pitch easily heard. There is a
moi otony of force rather than of express
sion. Recent severe bereavements have
thrown a sadness over his pleasant face,
but have detracted nothing from his work
