comMITTEn's INVESTIGATION
Iuto the Erect of tho Strike on Commerce
not AbRndoneO

lotto the Eject of tho Strike on Commerce
not Abandoned.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 20. Mem
bers Of tho house committee on com.
morce have not abandoned tho project
Of holding an investigation Of the recent
railroad strikes, for which a resolution
Ia before tho committee. The appoint
mont Of a commission by President
Cleveland to conduct similar inyosti-
CATION was thought TO have forestallod
action by tho committee. and for time
the idea OF congressional inveatiga-
ton was dropped.
1t is thought by members that the in
quiry by the commission, now 10 pro-
gress, is intended principally to secure
Information upon the questions OF CAPT.
tai and labor involved. and the sup
porters OF tho resolution before tho COM
mitteo desire q report regarding the
effect OF the railroad striko upon com.
merco between the states. Two or
throe mombers favor laws which would
control railroad employees so that gener:
oil strikes paralyEing commerce could
not be inauguratod without due notice.
Thoy regard the railroads in o measure
as public highways which ehouid DO
under public control.
An effort will be mado 10 have COM
mittee meeting called next week to re-
port to tho house d resolution for an in
vestigation during the receas.

CONVICT LABOR CONTRACT
May Be Made By the Penitentiary Board
with a Columbus Concern.
Rnseiqf Yslegr1sn 70 ne RsOtsEsr

MOUNDsvILLE, w. VA, February z.
"A gentleman from Columbus is here
negotiating with the Board OF Direc-
tors of the West Virginia penitentiary,
which met to-day in regular session, for
more convict labor. Col. Patton is the
gentleman's name, and he wishes to
start a concern for the manufacture OF
hollow ware. such as kettles, pots, skill
lets, ETC., and is negotiating for the ser
vices Of from rs to $50 convict
laborers. Col. Patton is at the
head of concern which Is
already operating convict forces at sew
eral large penitentlaries and is anxious
to close a deal with the directors here.
He proposes to employ about seventy
FIVE men at the start and increase the
number gradually to about $50. aud
wishes to contract for their services for
period OF not less than five years nor
more than ten. The average price re-
ceived for the labor Of convicts 10 the
West Virginia penitentiary is about
fOry-tWo cents a day, while Col. Pat
ton in other places pays something
more than that. IL is believed q
favorable contract can be made with him
which will result in putting TO work a
good part of the unemployed conVicts
for whom there is nothing to do.
The penitentiary now has more In
mates than at any previous time in It's
history and even with the completion
in the near future of the 104 new cells,
some of which are already occupied,
the place will still be overcrowded in a
few weeks. There were to-day 419
convicts in the penitentiary and a new
lot Of fourteen was brought in tonight
from Fayette county. Seven more from
Kanawha county are expected in at any
time now, which will crowd the peni-
tentiary.
Notwithstanding the large number of
prisoners and the necessary crowding
which has resulted, the board finds ev-
erything In most satisfactory condition.
There seems to be perfect discipline and
no serious trouble of any kind has oc-
Cured for q long time. Besides the
matter of new labor contracts the board
will have nothing of importance to con-
slider, outside of routine matters, at the
present term. All business before the
board will doubtless be completed In
time for their adjournment tomorrow
afternoon.

AMERICANS VS.. FOREIGNERS.
A Pitched Battle Between Large Crowds
More Trouble Feared

PITTsBURG, Pa, February 7.-At
Brinton, Pa, to-day, trouble arose be-
tween the American and foreign labor
ers at the excavations being made for
the Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring Company.
The Americans claim that they have
been Disseminated against in the mat
ter of mployment in favor Of the foreign
element. The wages paid amount to 90
cents day, apd the demand for work
at this rate is so great that there is a
constant struggle for preference.
To-day two hundred Americans aud
an equal number of foreigners engaged
in a pitched battle, 1t appears that
the Americans took possession OF the
Turtle Creek bridge over which the for
egners must pass on their way to work
aud when a contractor with his gang
approached they were attacked with
sticks and stones ana any other weapon
ready to hand. alter several foreig n
ers were badly beaten they retreated.
More serious trouble is feared to-mor-
row.

The Czar of All the Russias Plaintiff in =
Libel suit In New York.


New YORK, February Ills I'm
perial Majesty, the Gar of all the Rus
sias, Alexander Ill, is plsintiff 10
libel case on trial to-day before Judge
Addison Brown, in United States Dis
trict Court in admiralty. The Rus
sian sovereign claims $4,000 dam
ages against the owAers of two steam
tugs. The papers in the case
state that during the recent naval cele-
bration in New York harbor, the Rus
sian man-of-war Dimitri Donski was
anchored in the North river off Forty
eighth street. Alexander claims that
the vessel was properly manned and
officered, that anchor lights were dis
played and that alongside the
man-of-war was her steam launch
In which was one OF Russia's sailor
boys. He further asserts that the two
tugs came down the river at midnight
June -, 1893, lashed together, and hav-
ing In tow feet of canal boats and
coal barges. According to the libel the
steam launch was struck by one OF the
canal boats and capSized, the man on
board being thrown into the water.
1t is also alleged that the boom
and tackle of the Dimitri Donski were
badly damaged. The tugs passed on, it
is alleged without paying any attention
to the accident.
