THE INVESTIGATION.
The Committee win submit Its Report on
Tuesday, June ist

Tuesday. June ist.
The Legislative committee appo ntod TO
investigate the condition Of business ami the
destitution in the anthracite coal region, will
meet in Scranton to-day and on Thursday
they will return to Wilkesbarre to finish
taking testimony there On last Friday
Senator Haiues made personal inspection Of
some of the mining settlements near Wilkes
barre and he was astounded at the evidence
Of poverty ON every side.
The resolution adopted by the Legislature
sets forth that the committee shall submit its
report not lator than the 18th inst, but the
Legislature has changed the date. The state
Senate yesterday concurred iu the resolution
providing for an extension of time I'm the in
vestigation of the condition Of the miners in
the coal regions until June 1st The report
will thus be deferred until that date, unless
the committee is ready 10 report earlier
which is very probable.
Senator Meredith, who is chairman Of the
committee, says the members will read over
all the testimony from the stenographers
notes, when the investigation is concluded,
and will then frame a report and recon-
mendatious for submission to the Legisa-
ture In his opinion the only plausible
recommendation will be that the Legislature
petition the national assembly for restriction
in immigration in order to prevent an over
plus Of the undesirable element in labor, and
strict protective tariff that will start up the
mills and increase the demand for coal. So
far as he can see this is all the commission
can do. He knew of no way to compel the
consumption Of more coal than is necessary
and of no way to lessen the number of mines
and the number of workmen.

An Appeal From the ClerIss.

ED HERALD kindly publish this notice
in your valuable paper reminding the pro
prietOrs and the buyers that the stores are
still closing at o'clock, and would like them
to continue the same if the public would
allow them. If they would take into consid-
Grafton the length Of time that clerk has to
stand think they would sympathize with
us and try and help us to close by purchasing
before O'Clock instead of keeping us on our
feet longer than 19 hours in one day as that
is the length of time we have to work. SO ]
would kindly ask the people who have any
shopping to do to try and do the same before
o'clock, so the clerks will have chance
to get breath Of fresh air. Hoping you will
bear US in mind before s o'clock, l remain
yours truly,
Shenandoah, May 10. CLERK.

that he has no hope that the United
States supreme court will reverse Dis
trict Judge Morrow, and he cannot
stand the cost of carrying the matter
to the court of last resort.
Butler said that he had considered
the matter and had come to the conclu-
sion that he felt confident the supreme
court would decide against him, and
that an appeal would give him nothing
but a postponement of the day upon
which he would have to return to Aus
tralia to answer for crimes with which
he stands charged.
He considered it best for him to no
longer oppose the matter of his extra
dition. Ultimately, he said, he would
have to go to trial for his life, and tne
sooner the thing was over the better
il would be for him. He will so back
and face his accusers and depend upon
the loopholes of the Australian criminal
laws for his escape from the gallows.

senators Monday when promptly at IL

call disclosed the presence of eighty
eight senators. The new senator from
Kansas, w. A. Harris, took the oath
of office Mcbride Of Oregon presented
the credentials of Henry w. Corbett,
appointed by the governor of Oregon to
fill the vacancy caused by the failure to
elect a successor to Mitchell Of Oregon.
The governors certificate was read
and Mcbride requested that the new
senator be sworn in If there be no OBJ
lection, but Gray of Delaware said un-
usual circumstances attended the ap-
pointment and that the credentials
should be scrutinized. He moved that
the credentials be referred to the COM
mittee on privileges and elections, and
II prevailed by unanimous vote. Hoar
and Cockrell were named committee
TO wait on the president and inform him

DAN STUART DISAPPOINTED.
Crowds Which He Expected to See the
Fight VIII Not BE There.

Carson, New, March 16.-Dan Stuart
is somewhat discouraged over the out
look for attendance from east of the
Mississippi. According to latest advices
there will perhaps be single special
train from that section from which had
been expected at least one thousand or
fifteen hundred people. kilograms show
that some parties have chartered spe-
cial car which will be attached to
regular train. Definite figures cannot
be obtained, but it is estimated that not
more than $50 visitors from east of the
Mississippi will be in Carson when Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons face each other
in the ring. The bulk of the crowd will
come from San Francisco and there will
be a moderate delegation from Denver,
Salt Lake and other cities west of the
Rockies. According to the indications
the attendance may not be over $500
unless there is larger outpouring from
Reno. Virginia City and other Nevada
towns than is now anticipated.
