tales regarding the Japanese, for
which people the United States has
done much. The book is superbly H.
Illustrated, authentic and careful in de-
tail, easy in language, and when used
as text book must be of great value

The Old Trouble Between Ohio and

Agaln-A Uniform Working Day of

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
pears calm, but in the secrecy of the
scale committee chamber the old war
between operators of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania fields was fiercely raging.
Early in the session of the committee
the question of hours of labor was
thoroughly gone over. Representatives
of the workmen favored au eight hour
day, but their principal contention was
for 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.

| 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 a crash. In order
10 allow Incm 1uu SWING tne regular
committee took 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
. to 10 cents per ton below the Pennsyl-
vania scale, while it is claimed by the
Pennsylvania people that Ohio opera
tors obtain % to 30 cents more per ton for
their output. The fight to remove this
difference on one side and to retain on
the other is therefore bitter one.
| 1t is probable that the scale commit
tee will be unable to agree on all mat
ters before them, and will make theii
troubles known to the full convention
asking for further instruction.
The Pennsylvania and Ohio member,
of the scale committee did not reoch al
agreement last night, but it is probable
that today they will agree on differen
tial of 4 cents. Pennsylvania wants
cents and the Ohio men are willing t
grant 4.

COLUMBUS, Jan. 1S.--Speaker Mason
of the house of representatives has ap-
pointed the committee to investigate the
alleged attempt to bribe Representative
Otis Of Hamilton county to vote for
Marcus A. Hanna for senator. The
committee is composed of Representa-
tives Rutan of Carroll county, Spell
myer of Hamilton, Boxwell of Warren,
Rankin of Fayette, and Kenney Of
Mercer. Spellmyer and Kenney are
Democrats, and voted for McKisson for
senator.
The other three members are Republi-
cans, but Rutan voted for McKisson,
making the committee an antiHanna
committee. The committee met and
elected Mr.. Rutan chairman and Mr..
Spellmyer secretary. A subcommittee
was also appointed to call on the inves-
tigating committee Of the senate and ar
range for joint sessions. This arrange
ment will probably be effected, as it
would only serve to complicate matters

No BENEFIT TO CUBA.
Hit Talks Against Belliger-
ency Resolution.
HE SPOKE FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Gaior Mckinley n Friend of the Rebels,
but Thinks Recognition Would DO
Them Harm Speaker Reed Again
!, Blocks the Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The question
of granting belligerent rights to the
Cuban insurgents has again been ar.
gued in the house, but, as on the day
before 1.-The minority hurled itself against
stone wall. On the only vote taken,
a motion designated to overrule the de-
cision of the speaker and direct the
committee on foreign affairs to report
without further delay the Cuban reso-
luton passed by the senate at the last
session, the Republicans stood solid and
voted to sustain the chair.
The galleries, as on the day before,
were banked to the doors, and there was
considerable excitement throughout the
early part of the session when the mem
bers Of the minority were snccessively
presenting all sorts of amendments
bearing ON the Cuban question for the
purpose of embarrassing the majority.
During the general debate Chairman
Hit of the foreign affairs committee
made an impressive speech of less than
an hour, explaining at length the situa-
| ton which made action by congress in
advisable. He spoke with impassioned
| words of the presidents sympathy with
Une sUFuRBlS lOI SlDdh AiiOPOi'"OhNO
| and the achievements of the present adj
| ministration.
The release of American prisoners in
| Cuba, the recall of Weyler, the aban-
donment of the policy of concentration
and the autotomy scheme he attributed
| to the firm attitude of the president,
| and contrasted these results with the III
action of the last administration.
The president had pointed out, Mr..
| Hit said. that the recognition of bellig-
erence would, i'll fact, weigh most heavi.
| ly on the Cubans, and this fact disclosed
| the spirit animating the executive.
With the declaration of belligerency the
Spanish cruisers were free beyond the
three mile limit of Cuba to harrass on
the high seas those ships carrying sup
plies to Cuba.
The Cubans themselves recognized
that belligerency meant the cutting of
of their supplies from this country, but
they hoped, and had expressed them
selves to Mr.. Hit, that 1t would bring a
stray shot from Spanish cruiser on the
high seas directed against an American
ship, which would inflame the Amer1'
can people and sweep the United States
into war with Spain.
Mr.. Hit referred to the critical con
dition in Havana and the readiness OF
our warships for emergencies. Whal

the Senate.

They Bring About Lively Debate In
the Senate,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-A spirited de-
bate was precipitated in the senate by
the introduction of a resolution by Mr..
Hoar Mass providing for an inquiry
by the committee on postoffices and
postroads concerning the recent order of
the postmaster general reducing the
force Of letter carriers in several cities
of the country. Mr.. Hoar declared that
the order had had the effect Of dyna-
mite bomb in creating CONSERVATION
among business men throughout the
country, while apparently all that was
needed by the postOtiice department was
an appropriation of Sl50,0O0 fully to
maintain the efficiency of the carrier
service.
The debate took a wide range, Mr..
Wolcott, chairman of the committee on
postofiices and postroads, insisting that
many New England people represented
by the senator from Massachusetts, (Mr.
Hoar) We're responsible for the deficiency
in the funds of the postoffice depart
ment, because they insisted that the
government should carry second. class
mail at an enormous loss and Mr.. Allen
(Neb.) charging that the government
was annually defrauded out of millions
of dollars through the underweighing
of mail matter. The resolution in a
modified form is still pending.

Expects Several Bids.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. - Secretary
Long. accompanied by Chief Constructor
Hichborn, Chief O'Neill of the bureau of
ordnance and Judge Advocate General
Lemley, has appeared before the senate
committee on naval affairs. The secre-
tary said, in response to questions, that
the navy department had prepared full
plans and specifications calling for an
armor plant under the last naval appro-
priation bill, and that estimates on the
cost o. land, tools and machinery neces-
sary to equip the plant had been made.
The bids were to be opened on the Goth
inst, and he thought several bids would
be made.
Secretary Long said also that in view
of the delay in securing government
plant he believed that he could make a
contract for the supply of armor plate
for the Illinois, Alabama and Wiscon-
| sin, now under course of construction,
which would be ready whenever the
ships were ready to receive it at the rate
of Sg00 per ton. The secretary recon.
mendcd that an arrangement to this eff.
| feet be made. From the secretary s
statement, corroborated by statements
by Commodore Hichborn and Captain
O'Neill. it appears that the cost of q
| government plant, properly equipped,
would be from $3, 800, 900 to %,500,000.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 20.--The senate and
house have met III joint session and,
after casting one ballot for United States
senator to succeed Arthur p. German,
adjourned.
The vote cast for Judge McComas
shows an increase of two over that re-
ceived by him the day before. One of
these came from Senator Dobler of Bal
timore city, who left the Shaw ranks,
and the other from Delegate Dryden of
Somerset, who was absent on the first
day of the ballOting Major Shaw's
loss, through the desertion of Senator
Dobler, was made up by the accession Of
Delegate Robinson of Baltimore city,
who had voted for General Shryock.
Senator German gained a vote in the
person of Senator Applegarth, who had
voted for Judge Henry Page. The out
come of the days balloting was dis.
tinct disappointment to the followers Of
Judge McComas, they having conf.
IDENTIFY expected gain Of at least eight
more votes than they got. Their failure
is now thought to indicate the possible
temperance of Postmaster General
Gary as a candidate, as these votes are
looked upon as his whenever he wants
them.
Indications of an attempt at coalition
between the faithful II" and the DEM
ocratic members for the purpose of
electing a Baltimore city man are grow

French Government Refused to Make

PARIS, Jan. 1S.-There was great eX-
element in the chamber of deputies
when NJ. Cavaignac, Republican, de-
manded discussion of the semi-official
note issued in which the government
declined to make public the alleged con-
fession of Alfred Dreyfus TO M. Lebraun-
Renaud. The premier, M. Meline, in
refusing to discuss the matter, declared
that if the chamber voted its immediate
discussion the cabinet would resign.
The house then, by vote of $40 to
252, adopted motion shelving the dis
cussion.
A great anti-Dreyfus and anti-Semite
meeting at the Tivola Vious hall pro-
duced extraordinary scenes. The mem
bers of the anti-Semite committee dis
played banners bearing the inscription
death to the Jews" and other inscrip,
tions. 1t was soon seen that the 5000
people consisted largely of anarchists
and of others bent on opposing the stu
dents. Fierce rioting occurred, which
was suppressed by the police.
