PROCEEDINGS OF THE STATESMEN.

Some Democratic Comment.

House Promptly Acts on the Tariff Bill
Some Democratic Comment
Washington, July 9.-The session of
the senate yesterday was uneventful.
the deficiency appropriation bill being
considered throughout the day. Among
its provision is one accepting the in
vitation Of France to participate in the
Paris exposition Of 1900. The bill was
not completed up to the time Of ad-
journment. During the day Berry Of
fered a resolution requesting the presi-
dent to demand of Spain the release of
Ona Melton. one of the Competitor pris-
oners. The resolution was referred to
the committee on foreign relations.
The house sent the tariff bill to con-
ference. Chairman Dingley, Payne,
Dalzell. Hopkins and Grosvenor, Re-
publicans. and Bailey. McMillin and
Wheeler. Democrats, were appointed
conferrees. The proceedings were in no
wise sensational. This action was taken
by means of special order brought in
from the committee on rules. The
minority made no objection to 1t, but
protested because the majority refused in
advance to enter into an agreement as
to the length of time to be allowed for
debate when the bill is reported back by
the conferrees.
McMillin tried to offer an amendment
to the special order setting aside today
for the consideration of the senate Gu
ban belligerency resolution and Satur-
day for the consideration of the bank
ruptcy bill, but Dalzell said he had not
yielded for the purpose Of amendment.
Besides, he submitted that the amend
ment was not germane. McMillin argued
that II the house was to proceed at
last to do business those matters should
be disposed Of. You should enact legis-
lation." said he. Ito release the people
from the bankruptcy into which you are
thrusting them and to aid the people
of Cuba in their struggle for, freedom .
Swanson contended that the house
should have an opportunity to vote on
such Of the amendments as they now
desired to act upon. Bailey. in closing
the debate for his side. defended the
| course of the Democrats in the senate
| and contrasted it with the refusal OF

Pittsburg, July Sit is safe to say
that the amount Of coal dug yesterday
on the Wheeling division Of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad would not fill
one fiat car. Such a complete shut down
as exists in this district so soon after
the Inauguration of the strike is ad-
mittedly a surprise to the people living
In that section. A number Of miners
were at work Wednesday. the ma
3orfty of them in the its Of the Pitts
burg and Chicago Gas Coal company at
Snowden and Gastonville. but yesterday
1t was doubtful il the diggers at work
along the whole line would number
dfty-all of these at the GastonvilIe pit
Of the Pittsburg and Chicago company.
A careful review Of the situation proves
the assertion Of the miners officials that
the Wheeling division is solidly advocat-
ing the strike. All the mines above
observation-disclosures. Germania, Hack
EFT. Eclipse and Nottingham-are COM
pletely tied up.
Slavs Have Joined the Strike.
Five cars were loaded at the German,a
Wednesday, but it was with coal which
had been lying on the dump since work
was suspended last Friday. The Coal
Bluff mine Of the J. NJ. Kicker company,
employing $50 men, was entirely idle
yesterday. The big first pool mines OF
the Robbins company were also COM
pletely closed. There was a doubt as to
whether or not the Slavs would return
to work after their holiday Tuesday, but
this has been dispelled and the foreign
ers seem as enthusiastic as any on ths,
strike question. Miners along the lire
have been anxiously watching the dig
gers OF the Pfttsburg and Chicago COM
pany at Gastonville and Snowden Up
TIL Yesterday 1t was a matter Of doubt
whether or not they would come out.
Struck in Violation of Contract.
Vague rumors Of the Finleyville dig
gers threatening to pull them out were
floating around, but were not believe d
to have much foundation. The company,
though, was prepared for any move OF
the kind which might be made, and no
tees were posted warning all not con-
cerned with the working of the mines to
keep of the property. 1t is also said
that they had numberof special guards
on hand to watch the movements of the
men. These men have all been working
under the iornclad agreement, and as
this meant forfeiture of 10 per cent. Of
their wages held back since the first of
the year by the firm, IL they volun-
tarfly quit work. the strikers were in
doubt as to whether they could be in
duced to join the movement. At meet
ing held Wednesday night, however, it
was decided to come out for the district
rate and yesterday the mines were prac.
tically idle. By their action. 1t is said,
the men will lose nearly $1,000 in per-
centages.

STRIKE MANAGERS ARE HAPPY.


victory on the Wheeling Division Means
aGreat Deal to Them
The miners officials were elated over
their success on the Wheeling division.
The mines in that section have without
doubt caused the officials not a little
worry, for coal for the Ohio-Pennsyl-
vania trade could have been shipped out
of there had the miners remained at
work. and it would have very seriously
interfered with the general suspension.
1t Is reported that the operators on this
division have advertised for men to fill
the places Of the strikers. If this is true
and an attempt Is made to resume with
non-union men there will be serious
trouble. 1t is not likely. however, that
a sufficient number OF men can be gotten
together to start the mines.
The miners on the Wheeling division
apparently have no fears in regard to
the length Of the strike. A large num-
Der of them were asked how long the
strikers could stand it without suffering
from want. One and all were firm in
the belief that all could scratch along"
for several weeks all right WELL" re-
piled digger to the question, the man
who owns the pit I work IN said once
when We had some trouble with him
and won out that the miners could live
on weeds in the summer. and I guess
We can. Anyway We are willing to try
1t for a right smart spell"
About one-third of the full quota of
diggers were at work at the Panhandle
mines Of NJ. A. Hanna & Co. yesterday.
This Is an increase over Wednesday,
and is due to the fact that the firm
posted a notice to the effect that IL the
Hid ofr fn
due them on their fronclad contracts
would be retained. The amount, It Is
said, aggregates $4,000. In the first pool
the men who were under contract also
came out. There is no basis on which
to estimate the amount sacrificed by
the first pool miners, as the firms agreed
to pay 8 per cent. interest on the money
held back. The local mining officials,
flushed with victory, are now preparing
to make a move against the mines of
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
company. They express confidence in
their ability to bring these men out be-
fore the end of the week and then the
suspension in this district will be COM
plete.
Coal operators dispute the claims of
the miners cf1cials as to the situation
on the Moncngahela river. There are
probably six or seven thousand idle river
miners" said one. but they cannot be
called strikers. as the majority OF them
have not had work for several weeks.
There are now at least Is. 900. 900 bushels
Of coal loaded in the harbor and in the
pools. and it is not likely that any of
It can be sent to the southern markets
before fall. Before the last general
suspension there was a rise in the river

GREETINGS.

The Arabians shake hands six or
eight times. Once is not enough. If.
however, they be persons of distinc-
ton, they embrace and kiss one an
other several times, and also kiss their
own hands. In Turkey the salute is
to place the hand upon the breast and
bow, which is both graceful and ap-
propriate. In Burma, when a man
meets a woman, he puts his nose and
his mouth close to her cheek and
draws a long breath, as if inhaling
delicious perfume. He does not kiss
her cheek, strange to say. A man is
greeted in exactly the same way. In
the greater part of Germany it is con-
sidered an act of politeness, not of
gallantry, for a. man to kiss a woman's
hand. In Italy that privilege is al
lowed only to near relatives, while in
Russia it is extended to kissing the
forehead. The men of continental
Europe have a custom that would seem
queer, not to say laughable, here They
greet one another with a kiss, if they
be friends, not on the cheek, but on
the lips.-Harper's Round Table.
