timony before the Congressiona]
Commfttee.
WASHINGTON. March 5.Moses s
Simmons continued his testimony be-
fore the House committee on military
Affairs in the Couer d'Alene inyestiga-
ton to-day. He testified to the cir
cumstances of his removal from of
flee shortly after the mining demon
stration, his arrest and Imprisonment
in the county Jail for five days.
A sharp controversy occurred be-
tween Chairman Hull and Represen-
tative Lentz, who conducted the ex-
animation, as to whether the witness
SHOULD state his opinion on the neces-
sity for martial law. On vote the
committee sustained Mr.. Hull and ex-
cluded this line of inquiry. The wit
ness said he did not have a fair trial
on his removal from Office.
VIM. Powers testified that he was
night Waterman and constable at Null
Ian, Idaho, at the time of the demon
stration at Wardner. He disclaimed
any knowledge of the blowing up of
the mining property. He saw two
wagon loads of men returning from
Wardner late in the day, after the ex-
plosion. The town was entirely quiet
and men went about their work as US
ual. A week after the demonstration,
the witness was arrested by a squad
OF soldiers but subsequently released
Later he was summoned to appear be-
fore the U. S. Industrial Commission
when he was again arrested by de-
putty. He demanded to know what
charge there was against him, where
upon, he said, the deputy drew
gun and an exciting ARRAY occurred
in which the deputy lost his gun"
The soldier interviewed and Powers
was arrested and put in the .bull
PEN" He sent word to the Industrial
commission that he was there and
they notified him that EMISSION
would come to- the :" e. and take the
testipa,2Iy Of all prisoners. But the
witness said this testimony was never
taken. He said he never learned the
nature of the charge against him.

COAL RATES ADVANCED.

An Increase of Seventy Cents Ton
to Consumers, of which the Min
ers VIII Get Ten Cents.
PHILADELPHIA, March 5.--After
several meetings of the representatives
of the more important bituminous coal
interests engaged in shipping coal to
Tidewater points to consider questions
OF contract prices for the year begin
ming April ], have agreed upon the
following rates:
To Philadelphia from the Clearield
region 1888 f. o. b.; from Cumberland
$3.50 f. o. b.
To South Amboy from the Clearfeld
region S2.65 f. o. b.; from Cumberland
$2.S5 f. o. b.
To Port Reading from Clearfeld s270
o. b.; from Cumberland $3.50 f. b.
AS compared with the present con-
tract tide prices for soft coal, it is an
advance of about 20 cents. OF this ad-
vance, the new freight rates which go
into effect on April l, will consume So
cents, leaving 35 cents advance to the
operators. Deducting from this ten
cents per ton for the advance in the
miners wages which will, it is conf
