WARRINGTON, Dec. lf.-The House
Committee on Banking and Currency

There was considerable difference Of
opinion manifested. Several members
thought that the great need was res.
toration OF public confidence, and that

right themselves. The result OF the dis
cussion was the adoption OF q resolution

land lay there, he quoted from an inter-
view with Gen. Spillman printed the

'rhe alleged interview In the Register
says among 'other things that i. G.
Jones, one Of the miners, made in nine
teen days. work SlsO 60 SO wages. Other
miners ore mentioned as making about
the same. Now, the unfairness OF tn at
way Of calculating is easily shown. For
instance, in the nineteen days referred
to by General Spillman, Mr.. Jones paid
one helper 81 so per day-S2S so for
nineteen days another helper 81 day

paper, aoap and tools, 81 50, total
necessarily paid out by hin OF SG7 rs.
Deduct this from Sl2O 60, and you have
as what he really made as wages $50 81.
General Spillnan says under the pro-
posed reduction Mr.. Jones's wages would
be Sl0S 10 for the same work. Take
from that sum the SCI Is he must pay
out, and it leaves $40 95 as MIR. Joness
pay. Yet the company says it does OF
want any men who do not average at
least $50 per month. Jones is fair
specimen Of the way the wages run
run among the best miners. The aver
age OF the miners there do not make $40
a month as their net wages"
A committee OF the miners met the
managers on Wednesday and offered to
submit the matters in dispute to arbitra-
ton, bgt the company refused. The
miners thea Withdrew and vote as
taken, the union deciding to fight it out.
Mr.. Moran said he thought the miners
would win before very long.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS-.

The Senate Still on the Elections Bill
III Routine Matters In tho House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Senate
bill appropriating $4,000 to provide auG
equip steam vessel for boarding pur.
poses at Chicago, ILL.,, was reported by
Mr.. Cullom and passed.
The action Of the Senate in concurrinc
to the House amendment for a public
building at Sioux City, Iowa, was re.
considered and the amendment was
non.concurred in and the bill was sent
to conference.
Mr.. Mitchell offered a resolution
which was agreed to, instructing the
Postofiice Committee to inquire in the
feasibility and advisability of a law for
postal savings banks in connection with
all or certain classes OF postoflices
throughout the country.
The resolution offered yesterday bv
Mr.. Plumb for a daily meeting Of the
Senate at 10 a. M, and for receeses from
$3.50 to p. m, was taken up. Mr..
Cockrell suggested that if II a. m. were
fixed for the hour Of meeting there
would be an opportunity to attend to
some committee work, whereas il the
Senate met at 10 q. N. no committee
work could be done. IIe also cues
toned the advisability OF night sessions
and the probability of an attendance OF
aquorum.
Mr.. Reagan opposed the resolution.
He said it was got up for the purpose of
choking off the debate on the Election
bill and to prevent its full, Tree and de-
libcrate consideration.
The bill proposed to change the form
OF the Government from cns of eeli-
government to one Of force and coercion.
Such change ought not to be made
without most careful deliberation.
The discussion on Mr.. Plumb's reso-
luton was kept up amid considerable
excitement on the floor and in the gal.
leries un,iltwo o'clock, when it went
over without action. The Election bill
was then taken up and Mr.. Wilson, OF
Iowa, addressed the Senate in its ad.
vocaCy.
lie made an appeal for justice. Mis-.
ol5slppt auu kVubu SG|pIlub Will vote
OF l9l ,l20 sent fourteen members to the
House OF Representatives, while Iowa
With q voting population Of 293,25 sent
but eleven members. He hoped that
an earnest effort would be made to rem.
edy this laerant injustice. The people
Of tho country would not believe that
the people OF Mississippi and South Gar.
olina were as free to use the ballot as
were the people otIowa. No more i'm
portant subject now commanded tho at
tention OF the people OF tlls republic.
Mr.. Frye said that the pending bill
was not one.tenth part strong enough
not one-tenth psrt drastic enough in it's
provisions. If, in order to secure the
right OF the American citizen to freely
cast his ballot and have it coun,ed as
oast, il it was necessary to put a bayonct
behind every ballot, he would put bay
onet behind it. Mingled applause and

promptly suppressed by the Vice Presi-

LONDON, Dec. ll.-Mr. Gladstone ,upon
arriving at Retiord to-day, addressed a
meeting Of 1000 persons. He said he
had anticipated that the Irish members
by their action would settle tho present
difficulty. The continuance OF Mr.. Par.
nell in tho leadership would be fatal ,o
Homo Rule IN Ireland, Scotland and
Wales. Parnell was no longer the leader
OF the Irish Nationalists. who had sen.
arated themselves from him. He Glad.

ought to be independent, and that The
consideration and settlement OF this
question ought to be left to them; bnt
there was something beyond all cousid.
eratlons in Irish politics, namely, the
great cause OF Liberalism in England,
Ireland and Scotland. ~
The trouble respecting the Irish lead.
ship, he said, was IN additional reason
for the granting OF Home Rule. Why
should English and Scotch and Welsh
politics depend upon the choice OF an
Irish leader? The confidential cornmuu.
ications between the Liberal and Home
Rule parties, and his conversation with
NJ. Parnell at Hawarden, in November,
1889, he said, were fully satisfactory to
both parties. That fact was proved. not
by himself, because he had no reason
to speak about it, bu! byt the
other party. he believed that the
OShea divorce proceedings would en-
tirely destroy the moral force needed
In Ireland for any one who would be
the leading champion Of the national
cause. The Liberals felt that in grant.
ing Home Rule they constituted the
Irish leaders Tho Liberals were un.
willing after what had appeared in the
divorce court relative to the reported
conduct OF Mr.. Parnell, to make him
The constitutional Governor OF Ireland.
Il was absolutely untrue that Mr. Nor.
ey had suggested that Mr.. Parnell hold
office under the British crown before
home Rule was conceded. Tho Liberal
oarty's work in Parliament was to resist
coercion in ireland, and that work was
.s sacred and as urgent now as it ever
lad been, no matter who might be the
eader oil the Irish party.
