LOOKING INTO THE DEAL.
The Readings Big Manoeuvre the Subject
of Legislative Action.

NEW YORK, March 12.-The Senate
committee of enquiry into the coal trust
continued it's work today. President
Mcleod of the Philadelphia & Reading
railroad was the first witness. He said
his road had entered into contract with
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
and the Lehigh Valley roads. The COM
bination, the witness thought, could not
control the price of coal, and he thought
they had no power to raise the price. The
combination would, he said, affect the
price at some points. The object of the
combine was not to raise the price, but
to equalize it throughout the country.
He stated that the consolidation would
decrease the rates on freight and give
quicker transportation.
J. Rogers Maxwell, president of the
New Jersey Central, said his road was
not a mining road, but only carrier, and
therefore had no voice in regulating the
price of coal.
Archibald Mcleod took the stand
again and said the combination was the
result of his work alone. He made the
arrangements separately with the New
Jersey Central and Delaware, Lackawan-
ma & Western and when he had them
bound so that the interests of the Phila-
delphia & Reading were secure, all the
roads were made aware of it and were
satisfied. Copies of the leases entered
into between all the roads were promised
the committee.

LYNN, Mass, March 13.-Elijah D.
Howard, a machinist, who had a place Of
business on Munroe street, was found
dead in his room at Is Whittier street
this afternoon, death being due to natur
al causes. Search of the room in which

curities aggregating in value nearly

gave every indication that the occupant
was miser So far as known, he died
intestate and the estate thus reverts to

LEAPED into THE STA.
How the Sailors Of a Sinking Bark
We're Rescued.
THEY HAD BATTLED FOR DAYS
WITH RISING WATER.

The Vessel Was the Scottish Bark ven-
ture-she Began Leaking When One
Day Out-The Pumps Were Manned
But the Water Still Gained-Finally,
When Aid Arrived, the Crew Had to
Jump Into the Waves.
Boston, March 13.-The British steam
er Peconic, from the Mediterranean, ar
rived this morning. She had on board
eight shipwrecked seamen. Captain
Harnden reports that March 8, in lat. $50
O9' N. longitude 41o 50 w, during a
north-northeast gale, with high cross
sea running, he observed distress signal
to the south-southwest. He kept the
steamer away in that direction until $50
p. M, when he found the barkentine
Venture of Banff, Scotland, in sinking
condition. A volunteer crew was mus
tered, in charge of the chief officer, and
despatched to the vessel. After two
hours of hard work they succeeded in
saving the crew, consisting of eight men.
The work of rescue could only be ac-
complished by the survivors Jumping
overheard and being hauled into the
boat, as it was extremely dangerous to
put the boat alongside the wreck on ac-
count of the high and confused sea.
Captain David Morris, of the wrecked
vessel states that the Venture sailed
from Mona Island, West Indies, on Feb
ruary Sd, with q cargo of dry guano,
bound for Birlenhead, England. Every
thing went well until the following day,
when he found % inches of water in the
well. All hands were summoned to the
pumps and managed to pump the ship
dry. In an hour after this they found
the vessel making five to eight inches Of
water per hour. The leak gradually in
creased, and on February Sth they found
the vessel making eight to ten inches of
water per hour with little OF no sea on.
A portion of the cargo was jettisoned,
and the leak stopped, but the gales again
sprang up, and the crew were kept con-
stantly at the pumps and bailing out wa
ter to keep the vessel afoat. Before
leaving, the vessels matches were taken
off so that she would soon sink and not
be dangerous obstruction. The Ven
ture was owned by James eddie of Var
mouth, Scotland, and valued with her
cargo at $4,000. The insurance is un-
known.

1t is understood that Senator Hoar and
the other New England senators will
urge the President to appoint Mr.. L.
Jefferson Coolidge as minister to France,
to succeed Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, who is
about to resign to resume control of the
New York Tribune.
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts introduced

POLITICS BEHIND 1T.
Erastus wyman Says Worlds Peace Is
Threatened to Keep the Tories In.

CHICAGO, March 13.-Speaking of
Behring Sea affairs today, Erastus Wy
man said: ''The English government is
under tremendous pressure from the
Canadian, which is in mood to insist
that Canadian sealers be given equal
rights to Americans on the high seas.
The coming contest in England makes
needful diversion to insure Tory sue
cess. Therefore vigorous British
foreign policy may prevail during the
coming Summer, in which the peace of
the world may be threatened
Mr.. Wyman thought ''policy of re-
taliation'' would injure western cities,
Boston and New England more than
Canada.
Seal Poachers Not Harmed by Britain.
WASHINGTON. March -. = The two
British vessels seized in Behring Sea last
year for violating the terms of the modus
vivendi, and turned over to the British
authorities for prosecution under that
agreement are said to be among the YES
sells that have already started for the
sealing ground. So far as known, the
British government has not even insti-
tuted proceedings against them. On the
other hand the La Nimfa and Ethel, two
American vessels, seized for exactly the
same offence, were libelled and con-
demned by United States courts.
Senator Sherman in an interview today
strongly condemned Lord Salisburys re
fusal to renew the modus vivendi, and
said: ga war or even q contention be-
tween them for cause SO trivial as one
years fishing for seals would be crime
against civilization"
