Washington, Dec. 13.-The latest ad-
vice from Pekin, from official sources,
is that England has signided a Will
ingness to sign the agreement reached
by the foreign ministers, with a slight
amendment. which is said to be in the
nature Of a mere change in form, rather
than an amendment OF the scope of
the agreement at any material point.
1t was the understanding that
England was the only power that was
holding back, and as. according to the
advices received here. the slight
changes made, OF proposed to be made,
by England, do not conflict with any
of those held out here. from the point
OF view of the state department there
seems to be no substantial obstacle to

ed by a majority of the Court,
Judge Bigelow took pains to write
dissenting opinions.
Volume 23 is the last published
volume of the Nevada Supreme
Court reports. Volumes 20, Fl, 22
and 23 show that out of the SO
cases appealed from Judge Fitz-
gerald's court, during the period
covered by these volumes, "a were
affirmed and IL reversed. These
IL include the ten reversals while
Judge Bigelow was on the bench.
Judge Fitzgerald's percentage of
reversals is 1873, while of all the
other appeal cases decided during
the same period 81 per cent were
reversed.
Some of the reversals of Judge
Fitzgerald have been severely
criticised by members of the legal
profession. The learned editor of
the American State Reports in a
ten page note to the case of Watt
VS.. The Nevada Central Railroad
Company in which the Supreme
Court first reversed and then
modified the judgment rendered
by Judge Fitzgerald shows how
erroneous is the decision of the
Supreme Court and finally calls
that decision "spoliation." (62
American State Reports, pages
100 to Soo.)
Judge Fitzgerald is held in high
honor and esteem by the people
of his District and of the State at
large and they will show at the
polls that his record has manifest
ed both a knowledge of the law
and the backbone to stand by that
knowledge regardless of the pres
sure in high places.

The commissioners appointed by
the Chicago city council to look
into the matter of the street cars,
have reported unanimously that
the only solution lies in the city
taking and operating the systems.
But every intelligent person has
known that solution for many
years. 1t is funny how long it
takes some people to get an idea
through their noggins. Bills will
be presented to the next Legislature
to enable the city to take and op-
crate them. But the street car
monopolists will bribe enough
members of the legislature to pre-
vent the passage of the law. That
is where official corruption always
comes from corporations wanting
the right to steal under the pro-
lection of law SO they cannot be
punished. Do away with corpora
tons and lobbies will disappear.

JUDGE fIIZGfRAID'S RECORD.

Inc Keno CdSeffe last week
published an article severely criti-
cising Judge Fitzgerald's record on
the bench. 1t was stated in that
article that lover one-half of the
cases tried by him and appealed
to the Supreme Court have been
reversed. Such a record as that
either reflects upon his knowledge
of law or upon his backbone"
The Gazette doubtless got its in
formation from some one who pre-
tended to be posted, but who, in
reality, knew as little about Judge
Fitzgerald's record as he does
about the command Thou shalt
not bear false witness against thy
neighbor" handed down to Moses
from Mt. Sinai.
The independent has gone to
considerable trouble to examine
the Supreme Court reports, since
Judge Fitzgerald has been on the
bench, to ascertain the truth or
falsity of the GaseHe's charges
The record begins with volume 20
of the Nevada reports. Judge
Hawley, Murphy and Belknap
then composed the Supreme Court.
An examination of volume 20
shows twelve cases appealed from
Judge Fitzgerald's court. OF these,
eleven were affirmed and one re-
versed. Surely this is not a bad
record and shows no lack of
knowledge of the law on the part
of Judge Fitzgerald, neither does
it suggest any lack of backbone.
In the Fall of 1890 Judge Haw-
ley resigned and Judge Bigelow,
who was elected his successor in
November, ISoo was appointed to
fill Hawley's uneXpired term. Up
to the time Judge Bigelow came
upon the bench Judge Fitzgerald
had been reversed but once. At
this point begins the change i'll
the decisions of the Supreme Court
and the Judge who has had long
record of afhrmanCes to his credit
meets with frequent reversals.
What is the cause of this? Did
the Judge who had heretofore
shown a deep knowledge of the
law and who had made the best
record of any District Judge in
the State, while Hawley, Murphy
and Belknap composed the APP
pellate court, suddenly forgot the
law, or did the elevation of Judge
Bigelow to the Supreme bench in
troduce an element of personal
bias into the decisions of the court?
1t is well-known fact that
Judge Bigelow entertained bitter
feeling toward Judge Fitzgerald
on account of matters growing out
of the districting of the State when
they were both District Judges.
1t is not possible that these feel
ings were carried on the Supreme
bench and found vent in the fire.

Der of the highest court? Judge
Bigelow with all his knowledge
and ability as a lawyer, his purity
of character and worth as citizen
is a man Of strong prejudices who
frequently permits those pref
udices to control his action to the

That his associates on the bench
were at times Influenced by his
strong will and intellectually we
do not doubt.

NO SENTIMENT
IN STRIKE NOW

President Mitchell's action in de-
manding that Markle & Co.'S miners
strike despite their solemn agreement
not to do so, has killed off any lin
gering sentiment that might have OBJ
tained in this conflict on the opera
tors side. One of the latter, who re-
turned form New York yesterday
said:
IF there was any coal man waver-
ing in the position we took to fight to
the death against the United Mine
Workers organization, that man wav-
ers no longer. For my part I would
board up our shaft and go out of the
business before granting the slightest
recognition of that organization, and
I have yet to meet an operator who
is not of the same mind. For their
own sake, l hope the miners will soon
wake up to a realization of the hope
lessness of their fight.
'"To think that our men are likely
to be called out every time there is
trouble in the soft coal regions or some
other part of the anthracite regions
if a party of labor agitators out at
Indianapolis deem it advisable, is
enough to make us determined to lose
everything rather than allow that or
ganization to get into control here.
This Jeddo incident has opened the
eyes of the public and in New York
there is very different sentiment
towards the union than there was a
week ago."

INCREASING THE PLANT.
Extension of the Suburban Electric
Light Plant.

The Suburban Electric Light COM
pany is making extensive alterations
and improvements at its Washington
avenue plant, with the view OF con-
solidating the plant now situated on
lower Scranton street, and known as
the Gas and Water plant, with 1t.
The last named plant furnishes the
power for the street lights, and the
two will be consolidated for the sake
Of economy. An addition to the engine
room at the Washington avenue plant,
60x50 feet in size, is being constructed
and also an addition to the boiler room,
60xS0 feet in size.
The three 300 horsepower engines
now in the Gas and Water plant will
be removed to Washington avenue, but
the dynamos now in use will be sup
planted by seven new ones of the most
modern pattern. which will supply a
much steadier light than those now
used
Not only this, but there will be far
less liability of the lamps going out
Unexpectedly than at present. This
will be partly due to the new dyna-
mos and partly to a new style OF lamp
which is to be used as soon as the plant
is remodeled. This lamp is constructed
on entirely new principles and will re-
quire trimming only once every 10C
hours.
1t is expected that the alterations
will have been completed by the end
OF the year, and that by January 1 the
street lamps will be lighted by power
generated at the Washington avenue
plant,

THE EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY.
Remarkable Growth of the Business
of Connolly e. Wallace.

Eight years ago Thursday the firm
of Connolly & Wallace came into eX-
istence. From the beginning this store
was known as a most reliable dry
goods establishment, always possess
ing the confidence of the public. Year
by year the business grew, and today
the firm of Connolly & Wallace occu-
pies a strong position in the front rank
of the retail dry goods concerns Of
Pennsylvania.
Upon entering this magnificent es-
tablishment a person is Immediately
impressed with it's beauty and busi-
nesslike appearance. One of the most
striking and attractive features of this
store is the unique and artistic show
window displays which Cttract great
attention. At present the windows are
most beautifully dressed in commem-
Grafton of the stores eighth anniver-
sary. In the lower window is displayed
the seasons best of French flannel and
French flannel waists. A beautiful
model, handsomely draped. is used to
Sood advantage, together with a
unique background of card grill work.
In the upper window Is a most artistic
display of ladies' suits, coats and furs.
Handsomely illustrated cards, together
with several large cut card figures,
add wonderfully to the general effect
of this window.
The window dressing and store dec
orations throughout, as well as the
card grill and poster work, is done by
c. w. Hurlbut, the firms window
dresser and decorator, who, though a
young man, is one of the best men in
his line in the country. To praise Mr..
Hurlbut here would be superhuous.
His work speaks for itself.

see that each man working for that
company received a fair days vases
for fair days work. I, therefore, as
Delaware, Lacka kawanna and Western
mine worker, suggest that the COM
mittee from the Lackawanna union
who called upon Mr.. Loomls call a
meeting, to be held in Hyde Park. to
discuss the situation as 1t exists, and
as 1t applies to the men employed by
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern. l cannot help but think much
good can be accomplished in a meeting
like this"
Instead of waiting until after the
first of October, the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western company will pay
their mine employees their September
earnings as soon as the pay rolls can
be made out. This will probably be
the first of next week. The usual an
nouncements will be made in due time
in the columns of The Tribune.
Large gains are being made daily to
the unions ranks. Secretary Dempsey
estimates that 10000 of the 10000 mine
workers of District No. 1 are now en-
rolled in the United Mine Workers.
Seven different local unions We're or
ganized this week in Pittston alone,
and each one of them embraces every
mine worker in its locality. Organizer
Nicholas Burke organized five of these.

TRYING 70 KEEP
MEN EMPLOYED

Some little consolation may be de-
rived by the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western trainmen from the an
nouncement that the transportation
department is considering a move to
substitute grain for coal during the
continuance of the strike. The Lacka-
wanna has never made any special ef-
fort to do grain carrying business, be-
cause of the low rates on grain allowed
by the traffic association. The recent
action OF this association in boosting
the rates, coupled with the fact that
the Lackawanna does not want to
have its equipment and men idle, leads
it to go after a share of this trade.
At present the freight and drill crews
are not getting more than four days
! week and there is a possibility of
their time being diminished still more
| if something isn't done to supply some
| kind of freight to take the place Of
| coal. Grain is the only article that
offers a solution of the difficulty. and
| by this means the transportation de-
partment will endeavor to effect the
! solution.
| What the Delaware and Hudson men
can look forward to has not even
| coal and mixed freight crews are, for
! the most part idle, and yesterday it
was reported that seventy-six hands
about the Carbondale shops and yards
We're laid Off
The other serious lateral effect of the
strike, the cutting off of the fuel sup
ply to local Industries, is assuming a
more regrettable phase each day. The
trolley company is badly inconveni-
enced but by heroic measures manages
to give a fairly good service. The silk
factories, woollen mills and other large
| industries find themselves facing the
alternative of closing down or bring
| ing in soft coal, If the strike continues
for any considerable length, and as
| these Industries are averse to doing
anything that will give Scranton such
a serious blow as would be inflicted by
the introduction of soft COAL their
managers are in a very undesirable
quandary.
On this question of soft COAL Super
| intendent Q. g. Rose. of the Delaware
and Hudson company's mining depart
ment, said yesterday that once the
anthracite regions customers change
their furnace CRATES and get to using
soft coal the task of turning them
back to the use of anthracite will be
made extremely difficult.

tions and circumstances affecting the conditions
under which 10000 men are working, the United
Mine Workers say that the operators, as whole,
must arbitrato with them regarding the list Of
grievances they present, and tho strike labors
demand that the legitimate offer Of arbitration,
as agreed upon and practioed for fifteen years
by Markle & Company, shall be refused, and the
men shall hold together for this sweeping set
Of generalitios, for all the men alike.
II the men Of each locality had asked for arbi.
tration they would have brought out, at once,
what was the difference between each set Of en-.
ployes and the company, and there would have
been something to srbitrate, and, il ever there
is a compulsory law, this, and this only would
be the basis on which arbitration could ever
proceed.
Let us have arbitration, but the public should
not be confounded by this wild proposition OF as
suming that this vast army of men are all being
treated alike, or that they desire, or would be
affected by the same changes.

Both sessions of yesterdays conven-
tlon of the Carpenters and Joiners
were again taken up with receiving
of the report of the committee on
amendments to the constitution, and
discussing the changes in the govern
ing laws which were submitted. The
entire morning was spent in debating
various of the amendments, but by
the end Of the short afternoon ses-
sion, which was adjourned at o'clock,
to enable the delegates to visit the
Correspondence Schools, the report
was almost completed. A few minor
and unimportant amendments will be
presented, and action will then be
taken on the acceptance of the COM
mittee's report in its entirety
Among the innovations in the
brotherhood law yesterday brought
before the convention. was the ques-
tion of extending the length of time in
which a member can be in arrears in
the payment of his dues and not be
suspended. Another amendment
which aroused a great deal of de-
bate was regarding the strike bene-
fits.
The collection of a sum Of money
to be given the striking miners, which
was begun Thursday, was completed
yesterday. and during 'the afternoon
session, Delegates Featherstone, of
New York, and Mccarthy, of San
Francisco, announced that s104 was
the sum realized. This will be given
to Organizer Dilcher. to distribute as

MAKING THE REGIMENT READY
Col Watres Summoned His Staff at
Midnight to Prepare for Call.

Until 1910 o'clock this morning the
Thirteenth regiment was headed to-
wards Shenandoah.
The regiment. however, was not
aware of it and its members slept
peacefully on in blissful ignorance OF
its proximity to another siege of
strike service.
At IL o'clock last night Colonel
Watres despatched a corps of mes
senger boys with summons to his field
and staff to assemble at once at his
residence. At 11.3O o'clock news
paper advice came from Philadelphia
to the effect that the Thirteenth had
been called to fill Sheriff O'Toole's
requisition for troops. At midnight,
when Tribune reporter visited Colo
mel Watres' residence, the colonel. Ad-
jutant y. 3. Atherton, Major Frank
Robling, Quartermaster +. NJ. Wand
ling and Battalion Adjutant w. +.
Gunster were assembled in the library,
Fastening arrangements to get the
command under way at a moments
notice. Lieutenant Colonel Stillwell
and the other officers were reported
to be on their way.
Colonel Watres would only say that

Adjutant General Thomas b. Stewart
was to arrive in Harrisburg from
Philadelphia at 1910 a. m, and the
regiments to be called out would be
at once chosen.
At 1920 the Associated Press bull
letined The Tribune that the Fourth,
Eighth and Twelfth regiments, the
Governors troop and Battery b were
the commands selected. The informa-
tion was at once telegraphed to Colonel
Watres and a few minutes later SINH
lar information was telephOned from
Harrisburg.
Messages came about the same time
to Major w. S. Millar, brigade inspec-
tor, and Captain w. w. 1nglis, an aide
on the brigadier's staff. to report at
once to General Goblin at Shenandoah
