Various Crimes.

plication for the extradition of Holmes.
who was charged with the murder Of the
two Pitzel children by the coroner's jury
In Toronto last night, must necessarily be
made to Gov. Hastings at Harrisburg, and
ton as to whether the criminal will be
taken to Canada to stand trial for murder
rests with District Attorney Graham.
/ Holmes Is a self-convicted consprator
and Is now awaiting sentence, so that it re-
mains practically for Mr. Graham to say
whether he shall be taken across the bor-
der or remain in this city. where he has
long been suspected of killing Benjamin
PitZe1
The district attorney is much pleased
with the turn affairs have taken in Toron-
to. He believes that the result of the de-
alterations of the coroner's jury at Toronto
Is equivalent to a conviction of Holmes in
the criminal court. 1t is now almost GER
tain that Holmes will be taken to Canada.
Although there has been some talk of a
requisition from the Chicago authorities
for Holmes, no papers have yet been re-
ceived by the officials here. If Holmes Is
sent away from this city to answer for his
m,sdeeds, the claim of Fort Worth, Texas,
where he Is wanted in connection with the
forgery of deeds, really comes first, as de-
tainer was lodged some time ago, but the
opinion here is that he will be sent to
Canada first, where conviction seems more
because of the direct nature Of the evil
dence Both Holmes and his lawyer have
asserted that they will not resist extradi-
ton process proceedings from Canada.

in the postoffice was continued yesterday
before United States Commissioner Beck
ett
Only one witness was examined, II. w.
Butler, clerk in the postohice. Butler

He said that Payge pushed out one end
of the box and emptied its contents on his

into the box and threw the box package
into the proper bin.

considerable i'll feeling between himself

conspiracy matter which shook up
the postoftice some time ago
and caused Payge's discharge. He
was subjected to a lengthy cross eXamina-
ton by Mr.. w. r, Leaken, attorney for

to show the hl feeling caused among the

the Payge conspiracy business. A recess
was taken until this morning, when the
hearing will be resumed.

Washington, d. c., Feb 22.-A letter
of ,ste lday's date from William l..
st. John, of New York. the president of
the Mercantile and National bank or
that city, was today received by Mr..
Springer, of Illinois, chairman of the
committee on banking and currency.
My Dear Sir-When before your honor
able committe in December | commended
the redemption of United States notes in
gold only, at that time under the condi-
tions then of extraordinary weakness of
the treasury. ! added that 1.-The United
States was to (early) to redeem green
backs and treasury notes and laugh at
| such consequences as could have ensued." "
Under the profound conviction that the
| present condition of the treasury reserve
and liberal accumulations of idle money in
New York and many other centers afford
| together n new opportunity to do so safe
ly. | write to beg of you to urge the
| secretary of the treasury to exercise the
option conferred on him by law TO re-
deem the United States notes In standard
silver dollars.
| The treasury reserve Is now composed of
about $lO5 100000 gold and only about Slj,
| OOO 900 of free silver. If the secretary will
instruct the treasurer and every assistant
| treasurer of the United States to meet
| demands for the redemption of United
| States notes and the treasury notes in
standard silver dollars only, and con-
| tinue the instruction for a reasonable
time, the achievement will be in all details
and in every respect happy one, and no
more interest bearing public debt will need
to be created. on the other hand. If the Sec
retary of the treasury shall neglect this
opportunity. the neglect may prove one
more just ground for fault finding with his
administration of our public finances.
To the foregoing Mr.. Springer today
replied:
Dear Sir-Your letter of the 2lst instant

IN HOOKING VALLEY.
Great Suffering Among the Striking
Miners and Their Families.

Miners and Their Families.
BY the United Press.
Columbus, o., Feb. 22.-The commits
sion appointed at the instance of Gov
ernor Mckinley by the boards of trade
and chambers of commerce in Cincin-
natl, Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo,
to make an official investigation of
the destitution Of miners in the Hook
ing Valley and Sunday Creek valley,
have discovered some startling facts.
In the localities so far visited the
commission has discovered that each
miner last year earned only from SIS
to Sl25, largely because of the great
national strike, and that by working
regularly they could have earned from
81 to SO every day.
In reference to the nationality of the
miners 1t has been learned that in Mel
sonville they are almost entirely Amer
lean and English in Shawnee the ma
jority are Welsh, in Buckingham they
are largely German, and in Straits
vile they are pretty evenly distributed
among the English, Welsh, German and
irish.
1t was also stated that of the 10000
or $4,000 miners in the two valleys fully
one-third, representing, with their fam
lilies, nearly $1,000 persons, are in greater
or less distress.
The miners are almost a unit in de-
clarlng that there are at least 80 per
cent. too many miners in the two val
leys for the amount of work that can
be supplied, and many of them are
making preparations to locate on farms
or seek other employment.
