This One of Two Sensations at the Mine
Convention.

This One OF Two SensatlOns NJ tHe uiue
Convention.
PITTSBURG, PA, December 2S.-The
opening session Of the joint convention
of the operators and miners Of the Pitts
burg railroad-coal district was marked by
several sensational utterances, in which
John Burns, Member of Parliament, the
great commoner of England, came in for a
Stirring rebuke. delivered In stentorian
tones by Colonel w. Ii. Rend, the we'll
known coal operator of Chicago and
owner of several mines in the Pittsburg
District. The other feature was plain
hnt forcible statement of the situation
in Pittsburg mining circles, presented py
John Mcbride, president OF the United
Mine Workers and president-elect or the
American Federation of Labor, in which
he openly avowed that the conditions to-
day are worse than they were prior 10 the
general strike.
Mr.. Chapman, of the Standard Coai
Company, was chosen TO preside. he
suoeested that John Burns, who was yes
terday In the lobby, should be invited
10 n seat in the convention, but when q
rnotion TO this effect was made Colonel
Rend arose and said:
"Mr. Chairman, / object to the courte-
sizes OF this convention being EXTENDED
TO Mr.. Burns. who is here Tor the douple
purpose OF discussing labor matters ana
also of slandering and viiifying American
institutions. MIR. Burns Is a stranger IN
America: II Is, therefore. more httihg
that he should observe the decehcies ana
proprieties OF the position that ne oc-
cunies. These proprieties he has con-
stantlv violated by his malignant attacks
upon our institutions. / would advise
,hat Mr.. Burns return to the country
from which he came and criticise the
customs. manners. and institutions or
his own land, which he Will find IN
nniteiy more deserving OF his criticism
and abuse than anything he can hnd mere.
.sI kauw II Ia the custom for 'blarsted
Britshers' TO indulge in improprieties; put
| protest IN the case of Mr. Burns. III
is about time for American manhood 10
resent the offensive conduct OF these men.
/ have no objection whatever 10 listening
10 the views of Mr.. Burns upon iapor
matters ar sociology. MY pro'esl -
simply directed against glaring ABUSE
thai has become In this country In
tolerable.'
AS Colonel Rend resumed his seat tnere
was an unbroken silence
Mr.. Burns, who stood listening all the
time. moved Just little from steadied
position he had assumed at the beginning.
Chairman Chapman. just tribe con-
fused. rose and put the motion to seat
Mr.. Burns. IL was carried. there being
but one dissenting voice, Coionei henu
voting NO Not having voice In the
convention, Mr.. Burns had TO remain
silent.
Colonel Rend again secured permission
az the floor, and for half an hour ad-
dressed the meeting. telling the story or
the dispute between miners and operators
and the causes leading to the differences.
Ther followed President John McBride's
address, and after that the convention

TO helping the bank straighten out these
tangled accounts By pointing out the false
entries, has practically made deposition

of the completely of Baker.
A remarkable fact was developed yes
terday in the work on the accounts. II
was that during the last three years
Frederick Baker deposited not a cent
with the bank. although he drew out
thousands. The sum total OF all his de-
posits since the stealing began, II has
been ascertained does not exceed $500.
MIR. Bishop said that Seely is verifying
