Republicans Propose an Increase in the
Election CONTESTS Committee.

Republicans Propose an Increase in the
Election Contests Committee
Washington, Dec. 16-There was a
conference Of Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders in the speakers room
this afternoon TO discuss the Republi-
can plan for increasing the number of
committees TO deal with election con-
tests. Mr. Reed invited Messrs. Ding
ley, Daniels. Henderson, Cannon,
Payne and Daizell, Of the Republicans,
and Crisp, Mcmillan and Bailey, Demo-
Gratis, 10 the discussion. The plan out
lined by the Republicans was for three
comni utees of nine members each; six
Republicans and three Democrats, each
committee to be divided into three sub
committees, each composed Of two Re-
publioanS and one Democrat While
this plan would give the minority a
smaller TyroQcTtioDate represen tation
than it has formerly had, Mr.. Reed ex-
ptained that the division was rendered
2 neceSsary by the scheme for sub-com-
mittees. With nine subcommittee,
each one would have about three con-
tests TO consider, as, of thirty-thTee con-
tests, four have been practically aban-
6oned by the failure Of the contestants
10 gather evidence, and Mr.. McGann OF
Chicago has conceded his seat to the
Republican claimant, Mr.. Belknap. The
Denocra tS were assured thai the only
object entertained by the majority was
10 facilitate the disposal Of the contests
and establish titles of the rightful
claimants without delay in the inter
ests OF justice and economy. Mr.. Reed
said that the Republican intention wes
% settle the cases strictly upon the le-
gal evidence and in a judicial spirit.
Difference of opinion was developed
among the Democrats. Messrs. Crisp
and Mcmillan declined TO assent to the
proposition and are understood to have
held that the proper plan, if a commit
tee of the usual size could not hear all
the evidence, would be to increase the
number of cOmmf tteemen.
Mr.. Bailey took the stand that the
Democrats We're bound to accept the as
surances of their opponents that the
minority would be fairly treated. and
was disposed 10 accede 10 the plan. The
other Democrats Were inclined to the
opinion that the scheme was one TO un-
seat Democrats with great facility
No understanding was reached and it
was by courtesy that the Democrats
were consulted, as the Republicans in
tend to carry out their plan.

MUST STRIKE Ar TIE OUTPUT.
Anthracite Companies Not Yet to the Point
OF Perfection.

New York, Dec. 16.-The more con-
servative anthracite companies, in de-
fault OF an agreement being reached,
will confine their sales to figures that
will at least insure getting new dol
lar for an old one The financial COM
munity was disposed TO accept without
qualification the first announcement OF
the consideration to restrict the ton
mage to a three working days weekly
basis, as likely to curtaA production TO
the needs Of the market. As a matter
of fact the three days a week has rare
ly been lived UP TO, when agreed upon,
and the companies, owing 70 the adop-
ton of methods familiar in trade, have
at times demons trated their ability to
mine bysunremitung work in the three
days as much coal as would be put out
In five days under ordinary conditions.
What would really be effective in open
ing the anthracite trade in good shape
for the spring trade would be 10 arbi-
trarily restrict the output Of the respec-
tive companies fully 90 per cent. or
equivalent to about 100000 tons, as
against 100000 tons, the approximate
OF production at the present time.
Meantime most OF the companies show
q disposition to get together and an ef-
fective understanding as TO restriction
might eadily be reached. The pubEca-
ton OF the Reading re-organizs tion
plan today may exert some influence
on the situation. Only strong measures
will enable the anthracite producing
and carrying Lines TO secure prices
anywhere near the recent nominal cir
cular. Good stove coal is now selling
wholesale at So 90 per ton free on board,
and other sizes in proportion. This is
65 centS below the circular. Whatever
the action taken by the companies, the
stocks on hand, both at the west and a.
tideWater, are very large.

Furnishing for Contempt.
Chatta nooga, Tenn, Dec. 16.-Chif
Justice 7. l. Snodgrass Of the Tenne-
sseee supreme court this morning fired
two shots at John r. Beasley, a promi-
nent lawyer in this city, one of which
took effect in the arm. Beasley seri-
ously hurt, but not fatally.
The shooting occurred in the office OF
Congressman Brown. Judge Snodgrass
entered TO see Spurlock, who is part
ner OF Congressman Brown. Beasley
was sitting at a desk and the judge,
walking up to him, denounced an article
in this mornings Times, which appear
ed over his, (Beasley's signature. as a
lie. Beasley protested that IL was the
truth. They came to blows and Judge
Snodgrass drew pistol and shot BeaS-
ley twice. One ball entered the left arm
near the wrist and came out near tine
elbow. The other lodged in the ceiling.
The charges made by Beasley were TO
the effect that the supreme court had
rendered decision in rhe railroad debt
case Of the state from a political stand
point. and not from that OF justice.
The shooting created great excite
ment- Judge Snodgrass went before
Justice Tom Cowsrt and waived trial
and upon giving 81, 900 bail was released.

STEWART TALKS FOR SILVER
Points Out How the Gold Combine Delivers
Trade to Japan


Washington, Dec. 16.-The senate was
in session about two hours today, half
of that thine being given TO MIR. Stewart
of Nevada, IN q vigorous assault on the
gold combine" In one respect the SEN
ate presented a new phase OF the sub
ject with which his name has been SO
much identified in senate speeches. He
urged iuhat the great depreciation in sill
Yer gave ITO the cheap labor Of Asia a
tremedouS advantage in competeing
wiUh dhe domestic products of the
American market. Japan, in particular
he said. was profting by the difference
of fifty per cent between our money and
that Of Japan, and Japanese merchants
were today undertaking our home pro-
ducers in many lines OF goods. During
Mr.. Stewards speech Mr.. Matsu, sec
relCary Of rhe japanese legation, was
an attentive listener in the diplomatic
gallery.
At the basis Of this menacing condi-
ton, said Mr.. Stewart, is the gold COM
bination. 1t has reduced the value of
silver fifty per cent, thus giving the
Asiatics an advantage Of fifty per cent
on exchange. The only means Of avert
ing this complete commercial supTe-
macy Of the Asiatics was 10 place gold
and silver on an equal basis.
Mr.. Stewart used severe language in
aTrRigning the gold syndicate, declar-
ing that II controlled national conVen-
Tgans. selected presidents and directed
the affairs OF the national administra
ton.
An echo of Comptroller Bowler's sus-
pension of the sugar bounty payments

suspension.
