HE PUNCHED THE SENATOR.
A Washington Hotel Clerk Who Was
Over Jealous.

A Washington Hotel Clerk Who Was
Over Jealous.
Washington, Jan. 19-United States
Senator William E. Mason, of Chicago,
was the victim of an unpleasant affair
in the office of the Hotel Johnson yes
ferday afternoon, when he was assault
ed by the clerk after some words over
securing a. room for the wife of one of
Senator Mason's Chicago friends. Sem
ator Mason and his son spent the early
afternoon in escorting the lady through
the public buildings, and afterward
dined at the Johnson. She being tired,
and some hours remaining before she
could secure a train, Senator Mason
engaged room for her at the Johnson
for the afternoon.
Returning to the cafe where the lady
was waiting with his son Mr.. Mason
was followed by the clerk, who asserted
that he had changed his mind about
furnishing the room, and rendered Mr..
Mason his money. The senator repaired
with the clerk to the lobby, where hot
words ensued, and the clerk struck him.
Before many blows passed the combat
ants were separated by friends. The
proprietor Of the Hotel Johnson after
ward said that his clerk had been over
jealous, and that he greatly regretted
the occurrence.

MINERS CONVENTION.
Differences Between Ohio and Penn
sylvania Employers Continue.
PROPOSED REDUCTION OF HOURS.

The Operators of All states Are Will
ing to Grant Nine Hour Day-Prob-
ability That the Scale Committee
VIII Be Unable to Agree.
Chicago, Jan. 2O.--,Two brief sessions
were held by the interstate bituminous
coal operators and miners yesterday,
and adjournment was taken until today
pending the scale committees report.
From a public point of view every
thing in and about the convention APP
peared calm, but in the secrecy of the
scale committee chamber the old war
between operators of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania fields was fierceiy raging.
Early in the session of the committee
the question Of hours of labor was
thoroughly gone over. Representatives
of the workmen favored an eight hour
day, but their principal contention was
for a uniform day, in place of the vary
ing hours now established in the differ
ent states. The operators were willing
to meet them half way, and it is under
stood a uniform working day Of nine
hours will be recommended to the con-
vention.
The knotty problem of state differ
entails was then taken UP. This
brought Ohio and Pennsylvania oper-
ators together with crash. In order
to allow them full swing the regular
committee took a recess until evening.
The Ohio and Pennsylvania operators
then went into session by themselves.
The issue between These two states is
of years standing. Ohio operators have
hitherto succeeded in securing a rate
of five to ten cents per ton below the
Pennsylvania scale, while it is claimed
by the Pennsylvania people that Ohio
operators obtain 25 to 80 cents more
per ton for their output. The fight to
remove the difference on one side and
to retain on the other is therefore q
bitter one.
It is probable that the scale commit
tee will be unable to agree on all mat
tiers before them and will make their
troubles known to the full convention,
asking for further instruction.

Another RemarkabIe discovery.

There seems to be no end to the useful,
wonderful and profitable discoveries of Mr..
Thomas A. Edison, ''the electrical wizard =
as he is termed by some of his many
admirers. This time he appears to have
stumbled upon his discovery purely by
accident, as many of the most wonderful
discoveries OF the world have been made.
That is not Edison's useful way, however,
with his inventions. If there is something
needed he goes to work and thinks it out
by main force and hard study.
1t appears that Edison has been at work
for thu past year at the mines in Edison,
in this state, in bringing his great magnetic
ore separating process into practical COM
mercial shape. He had practically solved
the problem. had his plant in full opera
ton, and was running experimental test
lots of iron through his mills of from five
thousand to ten thousand tons, which found
ready market. Pig iron, it is we'll known,
is easily broken up for shipment. One of
the lots proved refractory To the surprise of
the workmen the pigs would not break with
all the force that sturdy men could apply
to fifteen-pound sledge hammers. Thirty
five pound hammers were then used, but
without success. Sections of the refractory
pigs were then submitted by Mr.. Edison
to half dozen eminent chemist upon the
theory formed by Mr.. Edison that there
was some hitherto unknown substance in
the iron which caused the difference in the
output. He suspected that it was new
metal. The reports of the chemists all
agree that Mr.. Edison's theory is correct ;
that a new metal had been discovered.
Two of them, in fact, it is reported, have no
hesitation in saying by the process OF
exclusion they have portions of the new
metal. Before making any positive declar-
alton in regard to it Mr.. Edison is having
new analyses made on larger scale. He
is much pleased, however, over the discov-
cry, and says that all that remains to be
ascertained is the exact proportions in
which the new metal should be mixed
with iron to obtain the best results. The
remarkable fact about it is that it renders
iron malleable at once, doing away with
the slow process now used for that purpose.
1t is believed that it will work wonderful
revolution in the iron industry. Thousands
of articles which are now forged or turned
out on lathes or other expensive process
may be cast as readily as common cast iron
articles are now, producing malleable iron
articles directly from the melting furnace
not only quickly and cheaply, but stronger
and tougher than ordinary malleable iron.
Mr. Edison promises, when by expert
ment he is able to determine just the con-
ditions most favorable to obtaining the best
results, to publish to the world the details
of the discovery.

last. Henderson, who seems halfwitted,
Llred Percy and 6-year-old Willie Adj
Olson to the woods, and then tied them
to trees. Willie broke the rope that
bound him and ran home. but before
he did SO, he declares, he saw Hender-
son stab Percy. When Percy's body
was found on Sunday morning there
was knife thrust through the heart
and similar wounds on the breast, side
and forehead, while on the side of the
face was long cut. extending from be-
low the eye to the chin. The body was
found in the bottom of ''Reddies'' creek,
at Sixtieth and Catharine streets, in
West Philadelphia, and was weighted
by two heavy stones. one fastened to a
rope about his neck and the other to
his ankles. Henderson admitted killing
the boy and throwing the body over
board, but declared that the killing
was accidental. The autopsy showed
that Percy was not yet dead when
thrown into the water.

We q uote few sentences from speecl

We quote few sentences from speech
by Representative Lewis, in Congress last
Monday, in opposing an increase in the
army.
He charged that the trusts were in con-
troll of the country and constituted the
main hand of power behind the DEGREES of
the courts. If the army were increased the
people would, he said, be justified in ask
ing whether it was not to be used to bar
ricade the courts and break down every.
thing that means the freedom of the
government.
Mr. Lewis quoted telegram which, he
said, Senator Hanna had received from
Frankfort, Germany, signed by A. Seligman,
as follows: congratulate You on your
election. 1t is most satisfactory to me-
That message, he said, came from the
man who helped to place mortgage on
this government of $200,000,0O0. Its in
science, he said. had no parallel in history
save in the message sent by Pontius PLATE
TO the executioner of Jesus Christ congrat-
ulating him that his work was well done
Mr. Grosvenor interrupted to ask if Mr.
Lewis was aware that Mr. Seligman was an
American citizen.
