BIG NINE STRIKE THREATENED
Monongahela Valley Miners Will De-
mand an Increased Rate.

PlrTsBURG, Dec, within the next
ten days it is almost certain that the q, 600
miners of the Monongahela valley will
demand 1-2 cent mining rate and a re
fusal on the part OF the river coal opera
tors to grant it will undoubtedly precipi-
tate general strike.
This is the plan now being agitated by
representatives of the miners in order that
the question may reach an issue as soon
as possible.
The recent rise in the river, by which the
operators were enabled to ship II, 200. 600
bushels OF coal, has caused the miners To
feel that upon the return of the hundreds
OF empty craft the operators will desire to
operate their mines in full. The miners
will take advantage OF this situation TO
enforce their demand.

They Want THE FACTS
The Senate Calls for Ha-
Waiian Information.
Senator Hoar's Resolution Agreed "a
without Divisional Spirited Dis
cussion Expected in the House
To-Day on the Same Subject.

WASHINGTON. Dec THE resolution
offered by Mr.. Hosr rep. Mass on Tues
day, requesting the president OF the United
States 20 furnish the senate with copies OF
all instructions in relation 10 Hawaii
given To ministers or naval officers OF the
United States since March 4, 1891, was
taken up by the senate yesterday, DIS
cussed tor four hours aud agreed To with
out division.
The debate was opened by Mr.. Hoar
and participated in by Senator'S Mills
(dem., Tex, Villas dem, WIS.,, Hill
dem, n. ", sherman rep. or Gray
dem, Del. and Call dem, Fla).
There was little or no opposition made
TO the adoption Of the resolution, although
Ser rators Iilas and Gray could see no
urgency for il in view of the presidents
statement in his message that additional
advices from Hawaii were expected in a
few days, and that he would promptly
supply all information to congress.
Mr.. Mills, dem Tex. y opposed the res
olution and spoke OF Mr. Hoar's speech
as a case Of Smelling the woods before
he obtained the information which his
resolution called for, and as charging the
president with meditatiug an act Of war.
He mir Mills) denied the statement. II
was not question OF the morality OF the
queen. The only question was, "Did the
government of the United States interfere
to overthrow the government OF HawsiiF
IL il did, then II was the duty of the pres
ident OF the United States-the represent
ative of this government-to make prompt
restitution and To re-instate the government
which il had overthrown.
Mr. Mills was followed 10y Senator
Villas, dem, Wis who defended the ad-
ministration and argued that the senate
was acting with undue haste in discussing
the subject in the absence OF facts
Senator Hill then addressed the senate
i'm favor OF the resolution. He criticized
the president for not informing congress
OF the state of affairs in Hawaii and in
structions, and declared that he should
not commit congress by any act of his.
He did not understand Mr. Mills To op.
pose the passage of the resolution. To
this Mr.. Mills assented
Mr. Hill continuing said he had no un-
kind word To say Of Mr. Stevens or the
present minister. Congress may conclude
that it was proper TO send more than one
person TO Hawaii to ascertain the facts; he
questioned the right of the president

A Simple Statement Upon a Some
What Complex Subject.
REP. eEEENLEAF INTERVIEWER
Must Come the Revenue to Meet
Our Millions.
Special to THE CHRONICLE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The question of
an extra session is discussed everywhere.
Last evening few were talking over the
situation when the inquiry was made
direct of representative Greenleaf of New
York: 'What does England pay duty
on? understand there are only about
seven articles from which that nation
receives revenue The answer was plain
and simple, in substance. Tobacco,
tea, rum, brandy and other spirits, wine,
currents, coffee, raisins and few minor
articles that amount to little in the re-
ceipts. That is the A1ist. The entire
revenue from customs duties amounts
to about 100000 600 year. About
$120, 100000 more comes from the tax on
beer, on railways and from licenses.
Then there are the probate duty, the
legacy duty, the house duty, the income
and property tax, and other sources of
revenue mainly taking the form of
stamped documents, etc. The four chief
sources of income are the excise, customs,
stamps. and income and property tax, in
the order named"
The study of this plan of raising
revenue is of very great interest to the
people of this country now because it has
charm for many of the leaders of the
democratic party. Our enormous Gus
toms duties are to be whitfield down, if
we can believe the declarations of the
ardent reformers who are fitting at the
Mckinley law. Free sugar has come
and will remain. Free wool, free lum-
Der, free tin-plate and other articles are
to follow, with general scaling of tariffs
on manufactured products, which yet
may be as well protected as before, be-
cause of the granting of free raw
materials. But whence will come the
revenue TO pay the many millions for
pensions, for river and harbor laws, the
cost of new battleships and of elaborate
coast defenses, which nation with not
an enemy this side of the planet Mars
still thinks it must have. Prepare for a
large increase in the internal revenue
tax on whisky. Prepare for a deter
mined effort to establish an income tax
and a tax on inheritances. Prepare for
lively agitation by Congressman Tom
Johnson and others of that ilk in favor
of tax on lands. The old order
changeth Will the people take kindly
to these new ideas? That remains to be
seen.

President Harrison railing.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. = Friends of
President Harrison, who have had occa-
sion to see and talk with him of late,
are very much concerned about his con-
dition, and express a fear that his
health will break down before the close
of his administration. The long series
of unfortunate mishaps to the president
and members of his family have had a
very depressing effect upon him. The
death of his wife, to whom he was pecul-
iarly devoted, was a blow from which
he has not rallied in the slightest de-
gree, and it left him quite unable to
withstand the i'll fortune that has since
followed him and the other inmates OF
the White House He is considerably
annoyed at present by the importuni-
ties of many of his personal friends who
are anxious to be provided for in some
way before their benefactor goes out of
Office. 1t is said that the president g
health is the chief argument used by his
friends to have him accept the overtures
made by the Stanford university.
