Nothing else?'
"Oh, yes. Eve discussed variety of
topics. For instance, sometimes we
might discuss this committee"
This answer caused some amusemen t
among the committeeman. and Counse
Beach felt called upon to say:
well. now, Mr.. Torrey please don't
make joke of it."
1t is sought to establish uniform
price at those meetings?'
well, the fact is recognized that a
uniform price is highly desirable
How far do the several interests rep

Il don't think they live up to any

'Then If one interest cut prices is tn ere

broken agreement?"
There Is no agreement

Mir. Torrey said: ''No,'' and then ASKED
for the privilege OF explaining, and yolun-
teered the Information that of course each
company endeavOred to ascertain from a
concensus of opinion how much coal the
market would take.
Mr.. Tory admitted that the coal pro-
ducers naturally had a common interest
in the largest possible output, and highest
prices subject to Iimitati ons produced
by The public demand.
Mr.. Patterson wanted to get Mr.. Torrey
to say that the producers held monthly
meetings simply to prevent the trade
from killing the goose that laid the
golden egg, but he would not do So
"You take him, Coombs," Mr.. Patter-
son said at last. and Chairman Coon os
took the witness in hand. He demanded
to know the object and purpose of the
meetings, and Mr.. Torrey denied that he
was withholding any information, and
fnsinuated that the committee was en-
deavoring to establish an inside which
did not exist.
At last he paled trif1e. He is a slight,
dark-complexioned sman. and surprised
Chairman Coombs by saying:-
Il am sure should be most happy to
have You gentlemen of the committee at
tend one of these meetings.
You would have cordial welcome,
and do not believe that there would be
any less talking because you were there. .
The committeeman betrayed no alacrity
to accept the invitation.

of Nathaniel George Clayton, Conserya-
tive. who was elected to represent the
Hexhain Division of Northumberland in
the House of Commons, increases Mr..
Gladstone's majority to forty
The reasons tor unseating bers of
Parliament seem most trivial to Ameri-
cans. Frank c. James, the Conservative
who was elected in Walssll, was deprived
of his seat by the courts because he pro-
vided hat cards or favors for his ad-
herents.
The petition which resulted in
the unseating of Mr.. Clayton
charged him with bribery and corrupt
practices. His offense consisted in giving
a check to an ardent Conservative,
who used the money to organize picnic.
This was held by the Court to come
within the provision of the act prohibiting

WILL THEY COMPROMISE?
The Priests of the Diocese Believe
Bishop Wigger and Father Cor.
rigan Should.

The Rev. Father Corrigan of Hoboken
still refuses to say anything to reporters
relative to his controversy with Bishop
Wigger, and the Bishop likewise refuses
TO talk on the subject. Nothing definitei
can De learned as to the make up of theN
ecclesiastical court, but it is thought the@
names mentioned in The JERSEY CITY
NEWS last evening are as near correct as
yet decided upon by the Bishop.
well known priest, in speaking of the
matter this morning, said efforts were
being made to smooth over the affair, but
he tnoughU they would not be unsuccess-
full. ''I trust Bishop Wigger, if the mat
ter does come to trial." said the priest,
will so arrange matters that no claim of
partiality can be advanced. The names
mentioned as judge in the case, If the
Bishop himself does rot preside, are
rather favorable to the Bishop. Mgr.
Doane. OF the Cathedral, Newark, would
be an impartial judge. This matter is
one every priest In the diocese feels sorry
for occurring. AS TO the merits ofstlAs
case, won't speak. This | will say.
Father Corrigan believes he is right in
the course he is pursuing. He disclaimS
all intention of acting in personal man
ner. A number of the priests of the dio.
cese who have been on the mission for
years. and have really built it up, have had
10 give way To younger priests in great
mauy instances. The Bishop has his OWE
ideas of conducting the affairs of the dio-
cese, and has called to his assistance
learned priests to be sure, but neverthe-
less men who did not have the experience
Father Corrigan and some priests like
him have had. The result was they be-
came piqued, and when the Bishop de-
cideG on certain matters, these priests did
not go behind stone wall TO show their
opposition. This was made manifest some
few years ago in relation to parochiaI
schools. Bishop Wigger went so far as
to tell the priests that they must Insist
on their parishioners sending their chill
dren to the parechial schools, ana failure
TO comply with the Bishops orders on
the part of parents was punished by said
parents being refusedA'Am bsolution.
