THE DEBs CASE.
The Arguments of Counsel Concluded Yes
terday.

The Arguments OF tOunsei COnCuuou les
terday
Washington. d. c., March 26.-The
hearing on the application Of Eugene
V. Debs and others for a writ Of habeas
corpus for their release from imprison-
ment, was resumed promptly on the
opening of the Supreme Court of the
United States at noon to-day. Attor-
ney General Olney made the first argu-
ment, speaking in behalf of the gov
ernment in opposition TO the applica-
ton. Mr.. Olney closed at one o'clock,
and was promptly followed by Mr.. Dar-
row in the interest of the petitioners.
There was no interruption of the At
torney General during the progress OF
his argument by any member OF the
Court, and he received the closest at
tention.
Mr.. Darrow concluded his speech
with a personal appeal on behalf OF his
clients. He contended that theirs acts
were not criminal He said, although
they might have been misguided and
unwise. they had acted from the high
est pure motives. When a body OF
hundred thousand men lay down their
implements Of labor, not because their
own rights have been invaded, but be-
cause the bread has been taken from
the mouths of their fellows, we have
no right to say that they are criminals.
Ii is difficult for us "a place ourselves
in the position Of others, but this
Court should endeayor TO do so and
should realize that the petitioners in
this case are representatives OF the
great labOring element of this country
upon which the country must so large
ly depend for its safety, prosperity and
progress.
Mr.. Darrow's argument was the last
in the case, and when he had finished.
the Court proceeded with other bust
ness on it's call. It's decision. prob
ably, will be rendered before adjourn
ment in May.

THE COAL PROBLEM.
A Meeting in Pittsburg Yesterday, at
Which Concessions to the Miners
We're Made-Will the Men Accept?
snecial to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Pittsburg. Pa, March 26.-At the
meeting of the Pittsburg Railroad Coal
Operators Association to-day it was
stated that if the coal miners strike
is not settled soon the West Virginia
and Ohio mines will get the bulk of
the Pittsburg lake trade. The lake
shipping season will open in two
weeks, and there is not a pound of
coal being mined by the big lake ship
pers. The consumers will have to get
the coal, and in all probability the
orders will be divided between the two
States named The operators met to-
day to take steps towards settling the
strike. The scale committee reported
in favor of compromising with the
diggers. and offered 60 cents per ton.
This is an advance of five cents over
the rate paid when the strike oc-
Cured. but is nine cents less than the
price demanded by the employees. Vice
President Miller, who is directing the
strike. said the diggers will not ac-
ceDt less than 90 cents, and the strike
will be prolonged.
To-day's meeting appointed a COM
mittee on ways and means of breaking
the strike in the event of the strikers
rejecting the 90 cent rate. 1t is said
miners from other districts will be
put to work Trouble will then ensue.
The Pittsburg operators want to
abolish the differential rate of nine
cents per ton in favor of the Ohio Op-
orators. If the strikers should accept
the 60 cent rate, which is the same as
paid now in Ohio. the Buckeye State
operators viii demand a 81 cent rate.
The strike will then be transferred
to Ohio. as the men there will refuse

Milwaukee, March ga fire broke
out in the Plankington four-story

at over $1,OO0,O0O. The flames were
carried across the street to the Y. NJ.
C. A. building on the north, one of the
handsomest and most completely
equipped in the West, and it is total
loss. To the north the flames secured
a foothold in the top story of another

ground floor of which is the public
library. At 2 a. m. it was hoped the
flames could be confined to the top
floors and that the library may be
saved, but it will be greatly damaged

Created Great Excitement.

Ottawa, Ont, March 26-The news
from Winnipeg that Premier Greenway
has declared that the Governor Cen
erals order will be rejected In its en-
tirety" meaning the order 70 grant
remedial legislation to the Catholics in
the matters Of separate schools), while
not unexpected, has created great ex-
citement in official circles. Ii is ad-
mitted that tue situation is pregnant
with critical possibilities, and that
much depends upon the action of the
Dominion government. 1t is. of course,
possible that the Manitoba Legislature
may shelve the question for a year, as
the federal parliament has no jurisdic-
ton till the government of the prov
ince acts, or refuses 10 act on the
remedial order. But this seems
HARDLY LIKELY TO HAPPEN,
Judging from the reports of the feeling
among a majority Of the people OF
Manitoba. Assuming, then, that the
order-in-council of the Dominion gov
ernment is ignored, what Will be the
steps taken by the government 10 en-
force its commands? This question

which are shortly to be held. The
British North American act is in many
ways an elastic affair, and it will be a
difficult matter for the Dominion gov
ernment TO decide that IT has or that ~
has not the right to interfere in the
educational legislation of the prov
inces. If it should decide to interfere,
it is probable that such Interference
would make the political divisions OF
Canada coincide with its great reli-
gous division, or would lead to a Sc
ries of appeals to the courts, the end OF
which can scarcely be fOreSeen.

BRUTAL BURGLARS
They Robbed a Residence and CIubbed
Women.

Bridgeton, n. j., March 26.-Two
masked burglars entered the residence
of the Misses Eliza and Martha
Brown, who reside in lower HOpewell,
last night and demanded their money.
The women protested that they had
no money about the premises. One
of the burglars then beat Eliza insen-
sible with the butt end Of his revolver.
He then covered both women with his
revolvers while his pal ransacked the
house. Finding no money the robbers
forced the women to give up their
pocketboOks, containing about five dol
lars. The two men then left, telling
the women to make no Outcry during
the night or they would return and
murder them. The injuries, together
with the nervous shock received by
Eliza Brown, are expected to prove
fatal

Airmore. |. T., March 26.-A start
ling discovery has been brought to
light near Tishomingo by the finding
in a hollow log of the journal records
of the last session of the Legislature,
which contained the impeachment
charges of Ben Kemp, the then dis
trict Judge. The records had been
stolen from the capitol, but the fact
was known only to very few and
efforts to keep the matter concealed
are still employed. The books'are now
in possession of the national jailer and
warm developments are expected.

A WOMAN SENTENCED
BY a Chicago Court to be Hanged for
Murder.


Chicago, March 26.-Maggie Tiller
was to-day condemned to be hanged
for the murder of Charles Miller. The
condemned is colored, and if the sent
ence is carried out hers will be the
first execution of a woman which ever
occurred in Chicago. She became in
fatuated with a colored woman named
Freda Huntington, and was violent in
her jealousy of any attentions paid to
Miss Huntington. On December IA
the Tiller girl found the Huntington
woman in company with Charles Mil
Ter, colored. The enraged girl drew
revolver and Miller rushed to third
story window to escape. AS he leaped
to the sill Miss Tiller fired two shots
striking him in the head. His foot
caught in a drapery and the man hung
head downward from the window,
dying in view of a large crowd which
had gathered about the house. The
defense was insanity.

The ParOchial School Fight in Mani

Discussion Will Not Be Had Until
Thursday, Although a Catholic
Member Urged Immediate
Action-A Denial That a Com
promise Measurse Will Be
Offered.

ST. Paul, Mimi, March Pa Win
nipeg, Man, special to the Pioneer
Press says: The first step in the re-
newed fight over parochial schools in
Manitoba, began in the Legislature
this afternoon, when the full message
was presented from the Dominion gov
ernment at Ottawa, ordering the Man
itoba Legislature to give the Catholics
their rights as they existed before the
abolition of the parechia schools in
1890
The reading of
THE OTTAWA MESSAGE
occupied over an hour and, all YER
biage removed, it amounts to the re-
quest as above stated. MI. MdrtlI,
a French Catholic member of the leg
islature, urged that the government
should take immediate action, but
Premier Greenway protested, saying
that the message should be printed in
order that all members might know
what they were dealing with. Here
the matter rested and the discussion
will now probably not take place till
Thursday. Meanwhile, the situation
GROWS MORE COMPLICATED.
Among the members on the govern
ment side tonight, it seems to be
matter of opinion that the remedial
order will be disposed of during he
coming week and without any great
amount of speaking. Premier Green
way denies that he will compromise
the matter by introducing bill max
ing the schools entirely secular.

express an opinion as to the result OF
the meeting. The lodges of the Asso-
citation have voted against the ac-
ceptance of the sweeping reductions,

fused. Unless the manufacturers
withdraw the offer, strike L. likely

Immediately following the descent of
