Tomorrow morning the members of the cooperating board will be elected from the four nominations of General Worthy Fore man Wheat. The composition of the new board is considered by Powderly's friends as very good, some of them laying particular stress on the election of Costello, who repre- sents the miners. On the other hand, it Is claimed that his election will have bad ef- feet on the Knights of Labor. A leading miner remarked tonight that the election of Costello meant the certain secession of the miners assembly. This is owing to dislike for Costello felt by the miners because of his connection with some of their troubles seve- ral years ago.

CONGRESS- AT NIGHT
Much Talk, but Little Done With the Pa
cifie Railroad Telegraph Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-The house met
at so'clock for debate upon the Pacific
railrosd telegraph bill
Mr.. Anderson, of Mississippi, spoke in
support of the bill, which, he declared,
had for its purpose the compelling OF the
subsidized roads TO conform to the funda-
mental requirements of the granting acts
Mr.. Guenther, of Wisconsin. said that
while he had voted for the pending bill Ii
committee, he would greatly have pre-
ferred voting for bill placing the whole
telegraph business under government con-
troll.
Mr.. Lind, of Minnesota, supported the
measure, incidentally declaring that, as
telegraphy was a natural monopoly, Il
should be controlled by the government,
Mr. Anderson, of Illinois, favored the
bill and detailed the provisions OF the con
tract entered into between the Union "a
chic Railroad company and the Western
Union Telegraph company to show that 1t
was IN direct violation Of the granting act
OF the former company. which provides
that it should receive the transmittal OF
telagrams presented to it without discrlm-
nation
Mr.. Hopkins, of Illinois, contended that
the subsidized roads were estopped from
claiming that they had made contracts
with the Western Union company, and
that that company had acquired vested
rights which could not be interfered with.
The house then at II O'Clock adjourned.

THE READING INVESTIGATION.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 16.-'The inquiry of
the congress committee appointed to in
vestigate the strike on the Reading rail
road and in the Schuykill and Lehigh coal
regions was resumed this morning with
General Manager \. b. Whiting, of the
Reading Coal and Iron company as the
first witnes S. Mr.. Whiting in answer to
the various inquiries entered into statisti
cal information in relation to the coal out
put of the anthracite regions. When asked
whether he could explain to the committee
how it was that wagons into which coal
measured for miners were of various sizes,
and what basis there is for the claim
that miners are unfairly dealt
with in this way. He replied there had
been no such charges made at the Reading
Coal and Iron company's mines. The
wagons or cars were of several sizes but
We're uniform in measure and there was no
foundation for such complaint so far as
his company is concerned.
Mr. Anderson, of Kansas read from
newspapers figures of the statistician
showing that. notwithstanding the strikes
in the Schuylkill and Lehigh regions, the
output of coal in January. 1883, was 1900
tons greater than January, 1887. Mr.

people.

to its provisions, Secretary Bayard tonight
said to an Associated press reporter that
for many years the great contentious
among American fishermen had been for
fair and just construction of the treaty OF
1918, and that the present treaty had been
framed by the American negotiatOrs, with
a view to meet the needs and necessities OF
our fishermen, and he believed that if the
treaty is ratified, that end will have been
accomplished. From trustworthy source
it is learned that to our fishermen are Sc
cured all the commercial. privileges for
which they have been contending, with the
exception of the right to purchase bait in
Canadian waters. which is expressly with
held. Their right to enter Canadian ports
for fuel, water and repairs is conceded.
Certain bays which are specified are to re-
main under the exclusive jurisdiction of
Canada. There is nothing in the
provisions of the treaty, it is
said, which necessitates the removal
of the duty on Canadian fish, or IN any
way changes our tariff system. In its inn
port features, the treaty, it is stated, is
favorable to the United States and while
new and valuable privileges have been &C
Quired this has been done without costly
sacrifice on our part. Secretary Bayard
stated tonight that published reports pur-
porting to give essential features of the
treaty We're unauthorized and wholly
wrong.
The American negotiators left for their
homes today. Sir Charles Tupper and Mr..
Chamberlain will remain in Washington
q few days longer The latter expects to
sail for England in about week.

AGhASILY DISCOVERY.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, Feb. 16.-Yester-
day while two Mexicans were spading
some ground near the city the spade of
one struck into some hard substance. On
pulling it out horrible stencil emanated
therefrom. They began close investi-
CATION and were Mortified to find the body
of man sitting in an almost upright
position, but decomposition had disfigured
the remains so badly that it could not be
told whether it was an American or Mex
lean. A theory prevails here that the
body is that of kornel Brown, a gardener
who mysteriopsly disappeared some
months ago and his whereabouts are
shrouded in the darkest mystery. The
authorities will give the matter proper

AMERICAN TRAMPS,

Ell PAso, Tex, Feb. 16.-Referring to the
late train robbery on the Mexican Central
railway at Mapula. in the state of Chihua-
hua, some prominent railroad officials
rom Mexico, who were seen few days
ago, expressed the opinion that there had
ately been very perceptible influx OF
American tramps and toughs to Mexico
American tramps make great blnnder
in going to Mexico hoping to find Any rich
booty, or expecting immunity from aims
they may be engaged in. There is really
no inducement save the genial climate to
take these characters to Mexico, and should
they commit crimes escape Is extremely
difficult and almost impossible, and if ar.
rested punishment swift and terrible
surely follows it, Any American con-
templating visit to Mexico for other
than legitimate purposes had better take
warning. 1t will not pay him as a bust
