WARM WELCOME
Accorded Edward J. Ivory and Attorney Mcintyre on Their Arrival in New
 York From England.

New York, Feb. 4.-Edward J. Ivory, the young Irishman. who was accused by the Scotland yard detectives with being in a dynamite conspiracy with P. J. Ty- nan, the supposed notorious NO. IT. and others to destroy life and property in the British kingdom and whose trial in Lon- don two weeks ago resulted in fiasco for the English authorities, arrived here to- day on the steamship Majestic. Accom- panying him were ex-Assistant District Attorney Mcintyre, who went from this city to assist in Ivorys defense, and the three American witnesses in the cases, James Wynne, Patrick Smith and Patrick O'Rourke.
 The steamboat Laura M. Starin, with a crowd of enthusiastic sons of Ireland on board, met the big vessel at quaran- tine
 Representatives of the Irish National ists, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Amnesty Associations, various county organizations and prominent IIiShmen from Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and other cities were on hand to welcome Ivory.
 After the health officer performed his usual duties of inspection of the Majes- tic, committee from the stea amboat were permitted aboard and Ivory and his par ty were transferred to the Laura M. Starin, permit for that privilege having been granted by the collector of the post. Ivory was given a hearty reception as soon as he stepped on the deck of the Starn. Speeches were made formally welcoming the party back to America, and after bandshaking all around, the steamboat proceeded up the bay to the city
 Speech making was the order during the trip to the city. MT. Mcintyre next to Ivory, was the hero of the asion. He stated that during the Ivory trial he was treated with the greatest courtesy by the British legal authorities. He was allow lating to Iverys defense. He demanded a fair and impartial trial of his client, and had no reason to be dissatisfied with the result. When asked as to whether there was any truth in the report that Ivory had been given $50, 900 by the Brit ish authorities, he said: No; you can deny that. Ivory neither demanded nor received a dollar"
 Ivory and party are in the best of health and spirits.
 On landing the party were driven to the office of the Irish National Alliance, in the Potter building.
 The gathering there was purely in- formal, a number of friends. members of the alliance. soon gathered about but they saw very little of Ivory as he was closeted with MT. Lyman, Gen. Kerwin, Col. r. G. Cody and two or three oth- CTS. As a result of the conference. MT. Mcintyre. was directed to look up the law bearing upon Ivory's case, and if sufficient grounds can be found, a claim for indemnity for false arrest and impi.is- onment will be made through the state department at Washington. Ivory went up to his place at One Hundred and Twenty third street and Lexington ave- nue. where big crowd was waiting to give him @ rousing welcome home.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 4.--ChancellorC Conn decided an interesting case today, and one involving in this state for the first time the liability of promoters" of an enterprise.

VISITORS AT CANTON.
Bill Stevens, of Anniston, Among the Number Who Called Upon the Elect
 Hanna Keeps the Reps Guessing.

Canton. O., Feb 1.-The indications now are that the present intentions of M. A. Hanna will occupy the cabinet 'guessers the rest of this week. 1t is rumored here by many of MT. Hanna's Cleveland friends who have visited Canton within the last thirty-four hours that he may decide to accept the position of postmas- ter general The most generally accepted opinion is that MT. Hanna thinks he will not be appointed to the senate by Gov. Bushnell, though the rumor that Gov
 Bushnell has decided to appoint Lieut.. Gov Jones to fill the seat in the United States senate which will be vacated by John sherman on the 4th of March, is not thought to be wholly reliable. An earnest effort on the part of the loyal re- pubicans attached to both wings of the party in Ohio is now being made to con- tinue the harmonious relations which have existed in the state for the last year and a half and it is by no means certain that Gov. Bushnell may not at the last moment appoint MT. Hanna to the senate, although up to this time he has in no way indicated his willingness to do so.
 l. Whether MT Hanna is appointed to the senate to fill MT. Sherman's unexpired term or not, he will be a candidate for election for the regular full term before the legislature which is to be elected next fall and which meets to choose a United States senator in January next Many of Mr. Hannas friends want him to go into the cabinet, and Maj. Mckinley has desired it ever siEce his election. Tho belief that he will be appointed postmas- ter-general is growing hourly MT. Han na will be here at o'clock tomorrow and wfllispend the night, and it is more than likely that he will come to some definite conclusion respecting <Ee cabinet nl- though if he awaits the efforts of those who are trying to arrange matters insthe interets of party peaceahe may not am

EnEIand's Coal Playing Out.

From the above table it will be seen hat
the English coal area is small. Still En-
gland has for years been the center Of the
coal production of the world. and for years
il mined mere tEan half the total amount
used By the world. The United States Is
now probably ahead Of IL, and We are in
creasing our product every year. The En-
glish coal veins are thin. The miners have
to lie on their sides to work many Of them.
They have dug out the surface coal. and
they are now working at great depths. one
English vein, fourteen and a half inches
wide. is already down over 1.2O feet. such
depth I'm America. The Newcastle coal field.

Women and Children in the Mines.

Women are still used in the coal mines
Of Belgium. They dress in trousers. just
like the men. and they do much the same
work. They help load the coal, and IN
some OF the mines they drag the Cstrs from
the tunnels TO the bottom of the shaft. l..
SlmOnin, "A FreHchman, from whose DOCK
on underground life the illustrations OF TINS
letter are taken, describes the horrors OF
their life in the mines. For a long time
women were used in this way in England
and Scotland. and IL was not until about
twenty-five years z that parliament
passed an act keeping them out.
Children are employed in the Belgium
used them for years. They were taken in
to the mines at seven. eight and nine
years OF age, and were kept there until
they grew up. The English coal veins are
very thin, and the tunnels were not more
than q yard high. These children were
used as beasts of burden. They were har-
messed to little carts filled with coal, and
had TO crawl along on all fOurs with belts
about their waists and chains between
their legs dragging the coal carts TO the
surface; Women became defOrmed by this
work. They Were dressed in trousers and
shirts like men. They learned to tight and
swear Ike the men, and became bad CHAR
acters. At the age of 30 they were usually
worn put. In Scotland young women were
employed to carry the coal on their backs
out or the mines. They dragged the coal
to the foot Of the ladders and then loaded
it on their backs holding it there by a
climbed up the ladders to get il TO the sur
face. They worked from twelve TO fourteen
hours a day. and would do work, il is said,
which the men would not do, tramping
through the water with their loads Of coal.
According to law women cannot be en-
ployed in our mines.
Boys. however. have been largely used.
They drive the mules. and in the inthra-
cite regions they pick over the coal, taxi
ing the slate and refuse out Of it. They
get from 20 10 90 cents a day for bending
over the dusty coal. roasting in the summer
and almost freezing in the winter. They
are frequently hurt. though it is by no

Suddenly the head of a snake rose

Under the tremendous pressure the
hog seemed to lengthen, and when
