MACRUN INVESTIGATION.
Secretary Hay Gives the Commit
tee Its Official Status.
THEY LAUGHED. AT MACRUM.

Washington, March 30.-Ex-Consu
Macrum appeared before the commit
tee appointed by the house to investi-
gate the statements he has been
industriously giving to the press. He
claimed to know that two official letters
to representatives of the United States
had been opened by the British censor.
When asked why he had not reported
this to the government at the time, or
upon his return, he refused to answer.
This produced audible smiles from
members of the committee.
Secretary of State Hay, addressed
the following to the committee, when
requested to give such information as
he had concerning the matter:
''Hon. r. r. Hit, chairman commit
tee on foreign affairs, house of repre-
sentatives:
''Sir: In response to your inquiries
have the honor to report that up to
this date, Mr.. Macrum,0 late consul of
the United States at Pretoria, has made
no representations to this department
in regard to the opening of his mail by
the British authorities. Although
without any information except the
allegations of Mr.. Macrum, to which a
reference was made in resolution of
the house of representatives, making
certain inquiries of this department, l
mentioned the matter to the British
ambassador, who made inquiry in re-
gard to it of the British government,
and was informed in return that the
British government was not aware of
any such incident having taken place,
but if Anything of the sort had occur
red, it was contrary to the instructions
of that government. l received no
further information in regard to the
matter until the 21st of this month.
when this government was informed
by dispatch from Mr.. J. c. Stowe,
consul general of the United States at
Cape Town, that: Two letters from
this consulate, one to Pretoria and one
to Lourenzo Marques, were opened by
the censor at Durham. Upon notice
of this l called upon the high commits
sioner, who wired Durham, and very
satisfactory apology was returned.
This is all the information possessed
by this department in regard to the in

Miners VERSUS SHELTERS.
The Ball Has Started ann viii Hit
Something Hard.
WAR TO THE END THIS TIME.

Kansas City, No., March 2S.-After
$45 to S2S per ton, and that within
year, mine operators have concluded
the thing has gone far enough and
they propose to shut off the supply.
1t is to be fight between mine owners
and the smelters. The ball has started.
Orders have been issued closing down
the Shot Gun owned by the American
Zinc Company.
The apparent price-the quoted
value-is put at 80, but smelters are
only paying that for top stuff. Miners
are obliged to take nearer S2S if they
want to realize on their output. There
is an association of mine owners, the
Missouri and Kansas Miners Associa-
ton. A meeting is to be called and its
100 members, all of them mine owners,
are ~ be asked to arm themselves to
fight the smelters.
The war is to be carried to the end
this time. Shelters may be built in
self-defense. 1t takes ton of coal to
treat a ton of jack, for which reason
coal shelters are out of the question.
Ore from the lead and zinc fields of
Southern Missouri is now shipped north
to lola, Kas., where there is natural
gas. lola is to be dragged into the
fight. Instead of getting the new mine
owners smelter it may see its gas
piped south right into the Joplin dis
trict and it's own smelters robbed of
the trade. That also will involve the
ore-carrying railroads. Nor is the dis
turbance to end there. Mr.. Nathan,
part owner of the American, says his
engineers tell him there is natural gas
within fifteen miles of Joplin, and, if
so, the new smelter will heat it's fur
naces from there. In any event it is
established there is gas at lola, and it
is known it will be practicable to run
it in pipes south to Joplin.
There is bat one redeeming feature:
exporting is possible. The market is
within so cents of it. An order was
cabled from Germany to Frank Il. Will
cox here, calling for $50 tons of jack.
If the price is low enough for the Ger
man to buy, it means that the market
has touched bottom, and that local
smelters must pay the price if they
would get ore.
