Fears Strikers May Lose.

During the early part Of one OF the
sessions Of the Military Affairs Com
mittee of the House Of Representatives
Messrs. Hay, Jet and Slayden were
the only Democrats present, and the
direct examination of the witnesses
was proceeding with but few Interrupt
TONS The absence Of objections rather
alarmed some of these Idaho miners
who appeared to give testimony in de-
Tense of the strikers, and one Of them,
rushing up to Mr.. Sovereign, said with
some excitement, "They are playing
hi with our case, and neither Sulzer
nor Lentz is here" Sulzer was soon
found, however, and he fastened to at
tend the committee.
Important statements made by DR..
France, the surgeon, who attended the
miners, were those which refuted the
charges Of the Democratic resolution,
that the men in the so-called bull pen"
received inhuman and brutal treat
ment, and that those who were dying
in the hospitals were denied the pres
ence OF a priest or minister. DR.. France
stated that there was but a solitary in
stance of Father Becker being denied
admission to the hospital, and that was
by Mrs. France, who told him that no
one was permitted to visit William
Lawlor, who was seriously i'll with
pneumonia, during the absence and
without the consent Of the physician.
The witness stated, however, that he
met Father Becker as he was leaving
the hospital and took him to see the
sick man.
Dr.. France gave some official light
on the case of Johnson, who committed
suicide while insane. He said that,
having noted the peculiar actions Of
Johnson, he asked for an examination
by the Probate Court as to his sanity.
Two physicians pronounced that he
was suffering from acute mania, with
q suicidal tendency. While at the depot
buying a ticket to take Johnson to
neighborng city, where he could be
placed in a proper asylum, Dr.. France
left him in charge Of a soldier. The
prisoner broke away and ran toward

LET HIM REST IN PEACE.
Thomas e. Watson Desires to be
Numbered Among Political Dead.

Atlanta, Ga, April 2T.--Endorsement
by Populist conventions in several North
ern states OF Thomas E.. Watson of
Georgia for first place Oh the ticket has
caused something of a stir in political
circles all over the South.
Mr.. Watson has stated several times
that he was out of politics, but in view
of recent rumors connecting him promi-
nently with the Populist nomination, the
distinguished Georgian was asked for d
final declaration Today he issued this
statement:
Under no circumstances would [ ac'
cept any nomination or any office. Please
number me among the politically dead
and let me henceforth rest in peace"

The Cost of a GROWER.

Mr.. Talbert, of South Carolina, is
making a speciality of growing at pen
sion legislation. At recent session
devoted to the consideration Of pension
legislation this gentleman objected to
each bill as it was called and offered
argument in support of his suspicion.
Mr. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, the gem
tleman who SO recently severed his re-
lations with the Democratic party,
called attention to the fact that it cost
the Government ST an hour for the
House to sit, and that Mr.. Talbert had
consumed enough time in his objec-
tons to pay all the claims passed at
that session. But Mr.. Talbert evident
ly thinks he has pension-h hating con-
Stituency.

goes, amounting to a total of $4,000
tons; eleven cargoes of coal, the total
being 22,S50 tons; and thirteen vessels
brought liz lumber with a total OF
8, 1913, $50 feet. The acquisition Of these
islands by the United States has given
an impetus to Honolulu that has at
tracted the commercial interest Of the
world. The carrying and shipping to
this port has grown with such rapidlty
that the increase of trade in December,
1899, compared with December Of 1898,
is something phenomenal.
Figures of the Bureau of Statistics
of the Treasury Department show that
exports from the United States to the
Hawaiian Islands have more than dou-
bled since 1897, and were $4,5O0,0OO
larger in 1899 than in 1898. This shows
the benefits to American producers and
manufacturers Of our expansion policy
through Hawaiian annexation. Export
figures from the United States to the
Hawaiian Islands in the last three cal
endar years were as follows:
1897. 1898. 1899

| to cover by the development of agrees
| sive strength in several stocks, includ-
| ing Sugar, Rubber, Chicago, Indianapo-
lis and LOUISVILLE, Tobacco, General
Electric. Lackawanna and Third Ave-
| nue.. The most potent factor in the raj
!y was the very large increase in earn
| ings for the second week IN February
shown by a number Of railroads. Nor
| folk and Western made the most strik-
ing exhibit, with an increase over the
corresponding period of last year of
$133,85S, which is very nearly 96 per
cent. This resulted in very large alb
eorption of the stock at an extreme ad-
vance of "a per cent, and had a SYM
pathetic effect on all the bituminous
collaborating roads, contributing to the
rally in Pennsylvania and in Baltimore
and Ohio. Toledo and Ohio Central
showed an increase In earnings of 70
per cent. for the second week in Febrt-
airy.
These evidences of the large demand
for bituminoue coal were coupled with
reports of increasing use Of anthracite
in steam production because of Difficult
ty in obtaining soft coal. The anthra-
fluence and of published forecasts of the

which is to be published tomorrow, in
ti1nating a high percentage Of earnings

westerns showed an increase Of A per
cent. in earnings for the week. In the
southern group Louisville and Nashville
made showing for the week which was
81 per cent better than that of last
year, the increase in gross amounting
to $1S6345 All the returns received
show very striking gains, though those
enumerated are the largest The cot
carrying roads especially showed
recovery from the recent low level OF
earnings, and were advanced in price in
consequence.
The tonic effect of these extraordi-
nary earnings proved too much for the
bears and they were forced to cover.
The continued ease of call money, which
ranged from to 21a per cent, neutral
lied the alarmist view OF the money
market outlook. Some slight effect was
produced also by the reports of further
British successes in South Africa. Erie
