Desperate from Misery.

John Mcbride, president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
said that the direct cause OF the
western Pennsylvania mining riot was
starvation, The miners held the
operators responsible for that con-
dltion and being desperate, destroyed
property. The price of mining had
been reduced from 70 cents, the price
on the competitive basis per ton, to
rs low us 40 cents. The depressed
state of the coal trade gave the
miners less than half work and it was
difficult for them to live on their
earnings, and with credit denied them
at the stores, they were enduring
some of the hardships of hunger.
Mcbride SAID that the Ohio mines
were practically closed and that the
Ohio miners must also accept wages
below the scale to meet the Pittsburg
rates or do without work. He closed
by rapping the knuckles of the men
who brought the nom Enylish speaking
miners here because they were SUI
posed to he more tractable than the
native born, or the English speaking
wolkmen, and were now abusing the
Huns because they were desperate.

Another Coincidence.

Immediately after the Jew bankers
had left the city last week Secretary
Carlisle appeared before the finance
committee of the House, and in the
most arrogant manner proceeded to
make known his wishes. He de-
manded immediate legislation that
would enable him to issue bonds tor
the purchase Of gold to meet the ex-
penses Of the government. To this
demand he added the threat thai if
such Legislation was not enacted dur
Jag the next fifteen days he would
proceed to sell what he chose of the
old ) per cent bonds of 1870. No
one here doubts that this demand and
threat of MIR. Carlisle was actuated
BY the Jew bankers, since it is known
that he was in close consultation with
them during their stay here. What
ever may come from this action on
the part of the Secretary, the plain
fact remains that Wall street has de-
termined on bond issue, and MIR.
Carlisle and President Cleveland are
determined to meet this demand.

CARLISLE CURRENCY BILL
A Number Of Amendments for the
Measure.
The Democratic Members OF the Banking
Committee VIII Suggest Some Inn
portant Changes--IikeIy to
Pass the House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-As a result of
a two hours session of the democratic
members of the house banking and cur
rem Y committee yesterday afternoon
and "a further consultation between
Secretary Carlisle and Chairman
Springer this morning. a number Of
amendments will be formulated and
offered to the bill. "These more
recently agreed upon amendments"
said MIR. Springer today, will not
change the general plan OF the bull, but
they will be important in many details.
They will make il permissible for the
banks to com in under tho new sys.
tenn or remain put. Again, the prin-
| cipal liability will be so modified that
| no assessment will be made upon the
banks 10 pay any deHeit that
might remain after the available as
sets of the bank, the guarantee and
safety fund, have been exhausted, il
this should ever occur, which is cx-
tremely improbable. But the deficit
would be a first lien upon the safety
fund when r~eplenished by taxation rs
provided by the bill. In the meantime
any notes that cannot be paid would
draw interest Mt 6 per cent until paid"
Congressman John Dewitt Warner of
New York, predicted this morning that
the bill, as finally modified, will pass
the house. That the opposition has
been STEADILY decreasing during tho
past few days is n fact of which the
friends OF the measure have satisfied
themselves 10y a quiet canvass conducted
during the past torty-eight hours. 1t
will receive, he says. the practically
unanimous support of the democrats.
1t is, he adds, a great improvement on
the present law and by the time 1t has
run the gauntlet of tho senate it will
be fairly satisfactory even to the most
captions critic.
