was on the verge of a deadlock, and
for a time there were prospects of a
protracted test of endurance, extending
the session late into the night. Mr.,
Morgan, in charge of the Nicaragua
canal bill, was determined to secure a
time for final vote. This was re-
sisted, however, by Mr.. Turpie and Mr..
Villas. Thereupon Mr.. Morgan an
nounced that he would ask the senate
to .'sit OUT the bill, remaining in con-
tinuous session until a vote was
forced Mr.. Villas finally made dila-
tory motion which, on a roll call, dis
closed the absence of a quorum and

Washington, Jan. ~ The senate
voted to take up the Nicaragua canal
bill. This gives the measure the parlia-
mentary advantage of being unfin-
ished business of the senate. Senator
Morgan of Alabama said he desired
action before the senate took up the
new Anglo-American treaty of arbitra-
ton. This covered certain differ
ences," and Mr.. Morgan said it should
be determined whether American con-
troll of the Nicaragua canal or the up
holding of the Monroe doctrine was
to be included among the differences
to be submitted to arbitration.
During the day Mr.. Chandler of New
Hampshire introduced the Republican
caucus bill for an international none
tary conference and stated that 1T
would be called up tomorrow. Among
the resolutions offered was one from
Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota calling
on the secretary of state for q state
ment of the status of the Venezuelan
question and for the agreement made
between the United States and Great
Britain.
The house passed three bills of pub
lie Importance and devoted the remain
der of the day to the District of Co
lumbia business. One prohibited the
sale of intoxicating liquors to the In
dams: one amended the existing patent
laws in conformity with the recon-
mendations of the American Bar asso-
citation. and another provided for the

Washington, Jan. 22.-The senate
proceeded with the consideration of the
Nicaragua canal bill, Mr.. Turpie con-
tinuing his speech in opposition. To-
morrow will be the third day of the
speech Mr. Morgan will ask to have
a time fixed for final vote as soon
as Mr.. Turpie closes. The legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill, carrying approximately $23,000,-
600, was passed during the day
Mr.. Pettigrew IS. D. severely criti-
cised the executive authorities for con-
Guiding the Venezuela boundary agree
ment, which he said was a complete
surrender of Venezuela to Great Brit
ain. His resolution calling on the sec
rotary of state for information was re-
ferred to the committee on foreign re-
lations. Unanimous agreement was Sc
cured for taking up the bill for an in
ternatiOnal monetary conference Tues
day next.
The house spent the day debating
the YoSt-Tucker contested election case
from the Tenth Virginia district. Much
interest was manifested in the case
owing to the fact that the Republicans
OH the committee which reported the
case were divided, four siding with
MI. Il uCkSf, TIE D0LuOCIdl anu tue Sll-
ting member, and but two with the
Republican contestant, Mr.. Yost. Mr..
Yost himself was accorded the privi-
lege Of addressing the house in his own
behalf The debate will be closed at
4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Mr..
Tucker will probably address the house
in his own behalf. The conference re-
port on the army appropriation bill

The Miners Are Out.

At meeting Of the miners and mine
laborers of Reynoldsville and Rathmel,
held near Prescottville Monday, the
men decided to refuse to 60 to work
until two matters were adjusted by the
coal company. The acknowledgment
receive their money through the office,
and II we have been correctly informed,
the company refuses to keep out the
money for the present checkweighmen
and want the men to put on new check
weighmen, which they will not do.
An italian who was delegate at the
convention in this place last Wedues-
day, has since lost his job. The COM
pany claims that he was discharged
for loading slate In his car, but as the
Ike's companion In the mine was not
discharged, the men think he was dis
charged because he attended the meet.
ing as delegate. The men want the
company to keep out the pay for their
present acknowledgment and give the
Italian work again. These are the two
reasons why the miners are idle.
The statement that appeared In the
Courier yesterday that the miners Of
this place had marched 70 Eleanors
Monday evening 70 get the men ct thai
place 70 strike, was false. They did

Miners, Convention.

Delegates from the various mines Of
the Jefferson 4 Clearfield Coal and Iron
Company held convention In the
Knights Of Pythias hall In this place
last Wednesday afternoon. The pres
ent condition Of the miners In this SEQ
tion was thoroughly discussed and tho
advisability Of striking for better wages
was carefully considered. The follow
ing resolutions we're adopted:
WHEREAS, The great struggle now
being waged In portions Of five states
by the mining craft for general ad-
vance in wages, and amelioration Of the
many wrongs TO which our craft Is sub
jected, commands the support Of every
American citizen who believes In fair
days pay for fair days work, there
fore be IL
Resoired, That we, the delegates
representing the Jefferson and Clear
field Coal and Iron Co., In convention
assembled, extend our sympathy and
moral support TO our fellow miners now
on strike, and concede TO the Pittsburg
district the front rank In their efforts
to establish living rate OF wages. BE
IL further
Resolred, That we deuounce the ac-
tion OF those operators who, by their
greed and avarice, have been instru-
mental In reducing miners wages to a
starvation point, making IL impossible
for us TO live as Americans should live
in land flowing with milk and honey.
Resolved, That we denounce the ac-
tion OF the Courts for issuing injunctions
restraining and denying the right of
free speech and the peaceful assembling
together TO discuss questions OF vital
interest TO ourselves and families, as
being cOwardly and unjust, and an in
fringement upon our rights as conceded
us by the constitution.
Resolued, That we appreciate the
sympathy and financial support OF other
labor organizations and the public in
general for the kindly interest shown
in the miners behalf. BE it further
Resolved, That we regard the COM
pany stores as a standing menace to the
best interests OF our craft and are re-
spOnsible for the crowded condition OF
mines, making IL impossible to earn an
honest livelihood. We would urge
every miner to unite and by concerted
action declare, In no uncertain sound,
the company store must go.
Resolred, That we request the lead
ers In this fight to turn attention Ia
Central Pennsylvania with view OF
holding, general convention, as soon
as possible, Of all mines shipping TO the
eastern seabOard, to formulate scale
OF prices and, II necessary, call the
whole Of Central Penn'a into the field
to assist our brothers in defense OF hon.
est weight, the abolition Of company
stores and living mining rate.

The Humane Agent Interfered.

An Italian, aged about thirty years,
and slender American girl, aged about
thirteen or fourteen years, were to have
been married Saturday night, but HUI
name Agent Adelsperger stopped the
marriage. 1t is claimed by those who
got an opportunity to talk to the girl
that she did not want to marry the Ike,
but that her fostermother had given
her consent for the license, which had
been granted, and was anxious that the
marriage should take place. We have
been informed that the marriage has
been postponed for one year. 1t was
the proper thing for Adelsperger to do
to stop the marriage.

Six Men Poisoned.

Four men who worked at the Falls
Creek tannery died from poison In the
past ten days and two others are dan
gerOusly Ill. There are two theories
advanced for the poisoning. One is that
there is disease in the hides, which
were shipped from Russia, known rs
anthrax which can be transmitted to a
man. Another is that the arsenic
used at the tannery, which is large
quantity daily, has soaked into the
ground and gotten into the wells. At
that tannery two ounces OF arsenic are
used on each side and there are eight
hundred sides tanned daily. AS the
tannery people have disiniected all
the hides in stock, It is evident that
they think the poison comes from that
source,
