Excitement Over Mr.. Halls Speech Before

Superintendent FoIlansbee, OF the Cham

sen1ing letters to members of the State
House of Representatives and State Senate.
The letters contained resolutions passed by
the Chamber of Commerce on March 2,
which were a remonstrance against tne pass

the employers liability bill. This bill
Comes up in the House next Tuesday for a
third reading, and on this account Superin-
tendent Follansbee is forwarding the letters
asking the members to vote against its
passage.
The speech made by L. U. Hall, ex-
Speaker of the Senate, last week, before the
Senate Committee to which the bill had
been referred, has excited considerable COM
ment. Some criticism has been heaped upon
bis shoulders, and according to those who
heard him, much Of the talk has been un-
just. Mr.. Hall is an animated speaker ard

A CHANGE IN HOURS.
Amalgamated Committee to Meet To-
morrow 10 Discuss the Scale.
SUGGESTIONS STILL BEING MADE
Central Trades Council Watching Legisla-
tion at Harrisburg.


There will be an important meeting at the
headquarters of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion tomorrow morn ing, when a special
committee of "a members, representing every
district in the association, will come together
for the purpose of considering a number
of questions pertaining to next years sheet
mill scale. The dispute between the
roughers and catchers and the rollers and
heaters which has been in progress for three
years has never been settled. Two years
ago the roughers and catchers made their
fight On the floor of the convention and lost.
Last year the matter was brought up again
and they asked that a more equal division
OF the wages be made. The subject was
discussed at length and finally referred
with a number of ether things to special
committee of "a that was appointed at the
last session.
Another question to be discussed at to-
morrow's meeting will relate to hours. At
present eight heats constitute a turn on
sheet and jobbing mills. There is dlsposi-
ton to reduce the number to seven. There is
also a desire on the part of many
to change the clause which provides
that the scale of wages in the sheet
mills shall be based on 180 pairs a
turn Tor single mills and No. 20 guage and
upward, doubled in pairs of 81 per turn;
doubled in threes 105 pairs per turn. As
this base has existed for number of years,
however, it is not thought any change will
be made.
The members of the committee began to
arrive in the city yesterday, and the re-
mainder are expected to-day. President
Weihe has been in the East for two or three
days adjusting few slight difficulties
among the workmen there, but is expected
nome for the meeting tomorrow.
Work on the iron scale is progressing
quietly. The desired alterations have been
about all sent in to the general Office, and
on Tuesday, April Z, these alterations will
be put in pamphlet form to be sent to the
various subordinate lodges. The latter will
then spend the remainder of the time be-
tween now and the convention discussing
the proposed changes and instructing their
how to vote in the conven-
ton,

A CONTUMAClOUS WITNESS.
MR. HAvEMEYER REFUSES TO ANSWER
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
He Also Positively Declines to Produce the
Books of the Sugar Trust-The Legisla-
tive Investigation Balked-An Adjourn
ment Taken Until Tomorrow.

NEW YORK, March 21.-The State Senate
Law Committee resumed its session here to-
day. William Dick, of Dick & Meyer,
one of the constituent companies of the
Sugar Trust under Investigation, testified
! that John E. Searles was the only man who
| knew anything reliable about tine relations
of his company to the trust. When ques-
toned closely as to the amount o! profits
M ade by his company when 1t entered the
trust, witness invariably replied, II can't
tell.''
H. o. Hayemever was submitted to long
and tiresome questioning about tine details
of the relations between the American Sugar
Refining Company and the trust He stated
that he became party to a deed of trust
called the American Sugar Refneries Com
pany This company was subsequently dis
continued by the Court of Appeals. "Then, 3"
said Mr.. Havemeyer, II became a member
of tine American Sugar Refneries Company Y
of New jersey" The most important point
elected by the testimony was the state
meut that the $40, 100000 loan was by the
constituent company as individuals, and
not as corporation.
Something of sensation was created at
one time when the witness declined to give
the valuation placed upon the stock turned
over to the trust by his company. Mr..
Havemever said he could not tell it.
Attorney Harris-Do you know how
much you got yourself?
Mr.. Havemeyer-I do, approximately.
Q.-Have you any objection to telling
this committee?
A-With due Difference to the committee,
must decline to answer.
Q.-When the company was organized
into corporation in 1887, how much per-
sonal property did the books of the company
show?
A.-None.
In answer to other questions, il was elici-
ted that the business was carried on entirely
with borrowed money, all the way from
81, 100000 TO $4,000, 600 in smount, Mr..
Havemeyer said. He repeatedly and posi-
lively declined to state how many shares
were transferred to the trust. His refusal
Will be submitted to the Senate. Mr.. Have
meyer also refused to divulge the yearly
profits of the company, or to produce the
books, alleging that he had not the power to
do so. The investigation adjourned till

BROKE HIS LONG FAST.

Water-His Record Beats All Others.

Elmer Collins Has Demonstrated His Abil-
ity to Subsist for 80 Days on Pittsburg
Water-His Record Beats All Others.
Pittsburg water scored another point at
Harry Davis Museum last night, and
proved to be a veritable elixir of life, for
there it was successfully demonstrated that
a man could live on it for 80 days and dis
pense with any other solid food
Elmer Collins, at 10 o'clock last night,
accomplished the most genuine fast ever at
tempted in this country anyway. Tanner
and Succi both tasted for longer periods, but
with the aid Of some kind Of liquid food,
whereas Collins has tasted nothing beyond
a few ounces of water every day. sEIe began
his task on the 10Th of February, at 10
o'clock P. NJ. His weight then was 1881
pounds; pul.e, 101; temperature, 98; respi-
ration, 18, and his height feet 81 inches.
At the conclusion of his fast his weight was
ITO pounds; pulse, 60; temperature, sc, and
his respiration 16. He thus lost 28L
pounds during his fast.
The museum was crowded to its utmost
when, at $50 o'clock, james Piatt, preceded
by an officer and followed by colored
waiter. forced passage through the throng
with the food with which Collins was to
break his fast. Meanwhile Collins was on
the stage of the theater, when another big
crowd gazed upon his determined, if thin
face. Shortly before 10 o'clock Collins was
escorted to his last months residence in the
corner of the museum, and placed upon
chair resting on the table. Drs. Wiley,
Meyer and Heustis looked at the faster with
some curiosity. They noted that he did not
display the least nervousness, his hands and
muscles being az firm as possible.
How do you feel, Collins?" inquired Dr..
Heustis
Every well. thank you," was the reply, in
tones which were surprisingly audible.
Prof. Lyons announced the conclusion Of
the fast at one minute past 10 o'clock, and
DR.. Hess Immediately gave Collins two
teaspoonfuls of clam juice, which he seemed
to relish very well ior man who had SUBJ
sisted on water for 80 days. In few minutes
his eyes frightened, and he conversed for
short time with those about him. He was
presented with $500, and an additional 500,
in consideration of the manner in which he
man McMasters was present, with afidavits
ss to the reality of the fast. which the doc.
tors present, and the medical watchers and
newspaper meE, subscribed to. DIR. Wiley
was present as substitute for DR.. Frank Nc
Donald, whose duty he is doing.
Collins bill OF fare up to midnight was:
At 10 o'clock, 2 drachms of clam juice;
1915 o'clock, 2 drachms of warm milk; 1920
clock, drachms of clam juice; IL o'clock,
4 ounce OF warm milk; II 80 o'clock, 1
ounce of clam juice; at II o'clock, 1 ounce

RUsK's BRILLIANT TACTICS.
How He Proposes to Open Foreign Mar
kets for American Cattle.

AoPo0~S ~
kets for American Cattle.
CHICAGO, March 21-The sensationally Y
large purchase of cattle in Canada during the
pastweek By American capitalists brought to
light here to-day the first complete public
knowledge of the results of mastery in
ternational campaign that has been quietly
but effectively waged by Secretary of Agri-
culture Rusk. The object was to afford re-
liet to American cattle growers by opening
markets abroad.
The Canadian purchases, it appears, are
simply in the nature of preliminary tactics
to secure unrestricted entry of American
cattle into Great Britain. Canadian cattle,
though inferior TO the American product
are legally Unfettered bv British enact
ments, and the Americans, who have lust
bought some immense Canadian herds,
propose to utilize the Canadian animals
to familiarize the people OF rural England,
Scotland ana W ales with with the beef from
THIS Sioe of the Atlantic. This Canadian
venture will result In loss to the Ameri-
cans interested, but they are confidently
counting on recouping themselves when the
American beeves are freely introduced and
slaughtered at will throughout Great
Britain.
