STORMY WORDS.
Session of the Coal Miners Investi-
CATION Sensational

PlTTSBURG, Pa, April 19.-Today's session
OF the legislative committee appointed to in
vestigate the condition of the miners In this
district was devoted to hearing the operators.
w. r. Dearmit, president Of the New York
and Cleveland Gas and Coal company was on
the stand all the morning. He said the miners
were getting "a cents per ton, and men were
paid for all coal mined. AS regards wages
the miner, he said, was getting more than
his share. In a very dramatic manner he con-
cluded that the officials Of the miners should
be investigated.
Later in the afternoon, G.. w. schlurder-
berg, general manager and q stakeholder in
the F. l.. Robins Coal company, called Mr.
Schlurderberg was a member of the sub-com-
mlttee which worked among THE operators in
the Panhandle district regarding uniformity,
ana, during the course of his testimony he
stated that II Mr.. Dearmit branded al lie

OF that committee branded Dearmit as a liar.
Mr.. Dearmit said: II merely state that the
report or the committee, which claimed that
W per cent OF the operators Of the district
were IN favor OF uniformity in 1895, reported
an internal lie."
threatening manner, and the greatest excite
ment reigned for time. Just before the close
OF the meeting Mr.. Dearmit, in hot words,
assailed William Warner, secretary Of the
United Mine workers, winding up in a most
dramatic manner with the statement that
this man does not contribute to the state
either by capital or by sinew but makes his
living by sucking the very blood out of the
lives OF the miners" Secretary Warner was
about to reply to this statement, when Chair
man Sayler declared the meeting adjourned

HAUGAN INDICTED.
Ex-Treasurer Pleads Not Guilty on
Charge of Embezzlement.

Andrew c. Hangar, thrice elected city
treasurer Of Minneapolis, was arraigned on
two ind. ments before Judge Simpson, in the
criminal branch of the district court, to which
he pleaded not guilty.
The Indictment of Mr. Hangar was brought
about by the many peculiar circumstances
surrounding the shortage In the funds of the
city and the bank failures in which he was
interested. He left the city some weeks ago,
and afterward there were rumors that he did
not intend to return, a rumor which he con-
tradic ed by coming back to Minneapolis as
sOcn he learned that such a conception
was placed upon his actions. His Indictment
was expected and he returned with the belief
that he would be obliged to face such accusa-
tions. He came to the court room yesterday
morning in company with Deputy Sheriff
Clement and Frank M. Nye whom he had
engaged his attorney.
Deputy Clerk OF the Courts Royce read the
frs ind ctment, although Mr.. Nye wished to
waive the reading. Judge Simpson thought
that the rule should not be devtated from,
so Mr.. Haugan listened to the charge against
him, more moved than any city official has

The case against Levi NJ Stewart who

afternoon. Fin,ayson, with other of the strong

RESPONSIBILITY DIsCLAIMED.
Greece Blames TurlNe, for Starting
the Trouble.

ATHENS, April 19.-M. Skouzes,
the Greek minister, for foreign affairs,
has sent a reply to the note which AS
sim Bey, the retiring Turkish minister,
handed to him, announcing that 'in
consequence of the aggressive attitude
OF Greece, diplomatic relations between
the king of the Hellenes, the sultan of
Turkey and their respective govern
ments" were broken off. M. Skouzes.
In his answer, says: 0f
In wishing to make Greece respon-
sible for the rupture of diplomatic re-
lations, the imperial government APP
pears to lose sight of the fact that
Greece, far from proceeding to acts of
hostility against Turkey, has had to
suffer during the last few days from
repeated acts of aggression upon the
part of the Turkish army at several
points on the frontier. Owing to the
conflict at the Prophet Elias on March
2S, the royal government drew the at
tention of the imperial government to
the attitude Of the Turkish troops; but,
instead of yielding to the spirit of mod
GRAFTON debating this step, the impe-
rial government appeared disposed to
precipitate events. Thus, on Friday,
the Turkish army, without provocation,
attempted to obtain possession of Ana
lihiS, which was mutually agreed to
be neutral territory. 1t was all owing
to the resistance of the Geeks that this
attempt to violate neutral territory
failed. ao,a
1.-THE royal government cannot let
pass in silence the fact that, before it
was officially notified Of the rupture of
diplomatic relations and while the
kings minister at Constantinople was
only notified at an advanced hour of
the night, the forts at Prevesa opened
fire at o'clock in the morning on the
Hellenic position at Actium and sunk
the Greek steamer Macedonia In face
of these facts, showing there is little
foundation for the assertion of the
Sublime Porte to the effect that Greece
committed acts of hostility, the respon-
sibility for the consequences can in no
way rest with the kings government"

KELLEY CAPTURED.
Montreal Police Have the Msn Who
Killed Cashier Stickney.


MONTREAL, April 19.-Joseph E.
Kelley, accused Of the murder of Joseph
A. Stickney, cashier Of the Great Falls
National bank, SomerSworth, N. H.,
was captured here tonight by Detec-
tives Campeau and O'Keefe. The story
that Kelley took the Canadian Pacific
train at Cookshire junction for Mon
treal on Friday night or Saturday
morning seems to have been true AS
far as can be ascertained he proceed
ed on the train to Montreal Junction,
fourteen miles west of here, where he
jumped from the train and proceeded
to st. Justine de Newton, about forty
miles away. That evening he returned
to Montreal about 9 o'clock. Upon ar
irving in Montreal, Kelley, who was in
the garb of a woman, procured g. cab
and drove around town. About mid
night the detectives confronted the
supposed woman. They accused him Of
being Kelley, and he calmly replied: II
guess you chumps have got your man
this time"
On being taken to the central police
station $2700 were found in his cloth
ing. On being questioned he declined
to say anything about the murder ex-
cept that he had an accOmplice. He
added that the accomplice told him
that he had fixed Cashier Stickney.
Repeated questions failed to elicit fur
Their information from the prisoner.
