PINKERTON SYSTEM.
The Investigation Committee in
Session at Pittsburg.
The Evidence Thus Far Adduced-Three Wit
nesses Examined Yesterday and Their
Conflicting Testimony.

PIrTsBURa, Nov. 24-The senatorial
committee investigating the Pirkerton
system continued it's session today. Among
the witnesses were William Weihe, ex-
president of the Amalgamated association,
who stated it was his belief that the cou-
dition OF the steel market warranted the
Carnegie company in paying the rate of
wages demanded by the workmen at
Homestead. The Amalgamated associa-
ton, he declared, was always in favor Of
arbitration and Cancellation. The strikers
would not have fired on the United States
troops or militia, as they did upon tue
Pinkertons If the Carnegie company had
continued their conference with the Anal
gamated association instead of issuing an
ultimatum, settlement could have been
reached by July l.
Thomas Mellon, banker, In testifying,
thought that armed watchmen or detec-
tives were necessary from the fact that the
laws of Pennsylvania were defective and
their execution inefficient. In answer to a
query as TO tho cause of this state of affairs,
the witness replied that in mis- opinion
there was too much party politics for the
good of the people. We seldom have
sheriff who can and will do his duty.
There is also too much delay
in calling out the military.
the governor fearing that be
might offend some one. "Do you mean
say the sheriff defers doing duty, through
fear of political consequencss@' asked
Senator Collingen. Il do, and the same
applies to the governor and To the legisla-
ture." John A. Potter, superintendent of
the Homestead mill when the trouble began,
said Colonsl Gray took charge OF the Pink
erton men at Davis Island dam as a repre-
sen tative Of the sheriff, he thought. Gray
did not swear them in as deputies in his
presence. Witness thought all means were
exhausted before the Plnkertons were
called in.

RAISE In SILVER.

Indian Banks and Merchants Forced into the
Market to Make Purchases.
LONDON, Nov. 24-The sudden rise in
the price of silver yesterday is due to the
operations of group Of spectators.
Forty lacs rupees in drafts on India were
offered for sale by the India council. The
extraordinary amount of 61s laos was
rendered. One tender OF 100 laos at the
highest price absorbed the drafts. The
Indian banks and merchants had to go to
the silver market TO buy enough silver to
meet requirements. The price Of the
metal was thus driven up 6-16d. Various
motives are attributed to the operators.
One Of the reasons given is that their &C
ton is due to trick OF American silver
men who desired to boom silver with a
view to influencing the action of the
Brussels conference Dealers doubt that
the rise will be maintained as too much
silver is being offered.

Dificulty-A uhange for the
Worse.

NEW York, Nov. PA Washington
special to a morning paper says: Blaine
is much worse tonight The attending
physician has just left his no use and says
the condition of his patient is serious.
Several times during the day Blaine sunk
into an UNCONSCIOUS condition, from which
he had to be reused At times he was I'M
able to recognize che anxious watchers
about the bedside. Blaine rallied some
what yesterday, and the family
thought he would be able to be
out within few days. Instead
of further Improvement however, he
was found to be much worse today The
attending physicians made three visits to the
Blaine mansion today. Just what the disease
Is which has attacked him no one seems to
be able to say. DR.. Johnston, the attending
physician, will not talk and the family in
sist that there is no new developments in
his case. My information is such, how
ever, thatit cannot be doubted. 1 am told
the disease has SO far progressed as
to affect Blaines brain and at times
he is delirious. 1t is very evident
desire on the part of the family to keep
the facts from the public. That they have
been alarmed today is certain. and that
Blaine's condition is serious is true. not
withstanding the denials of the family, the
refusal of the physician to talk and the
general air Of mystery with which the case
is surrounded.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Nov. 24-D. Edgar
Grouse, the last of the family of million
aire wholesale grocers and the possessor of
the combined family fortunes, variously
estimated at from $4,000, 900 to s25, GOO 600,
died at his home in this city last night. He
was the son of John Grouse, who acquired
an immense fortune in the grocery bust

country. Four years ago ne completed a
stable which he had been years in building
and which cost him 500, 0OO. 1t is the
finest building used for that purpose in the
world.
As there are no immediate relatives,
much speculation is INDUCED in as to the
disposition of the wealth. Mr.. Crouse's
hobby was fine horses. He owned twenty
or more flyers, many of which are well
known grand circuit performers. He kept

Proposal Of the American Delegates VIII Be
Presented Today.
BRUSSELS, Nov. GA statement has OBJ
tanned currency here that the American
delegates to the monetary conference are
not prepared to submit proposals to the
conference when 1t meets tomorrow. On
the contrary it is true that proposals have
been definitely formulated by the Ameri-
eau delegates and that they will be laid be-
fore the conference tomorrow. There WAS
some delay in arranging the proposal of
the six, but this is due 10 the fact that the
American delegates came from different
states and there was no opportunity for
comforting upon final adjustment of
minor details until they reached Europe.
The proposals are IN such form as will
serve as q basis for practical discussion.
Private meetings Of the various sections of
the conference are proceeding today for
the purpose Of considering information and
views that have been interchanged during
the last two days.
