CHICAGO, March MAUD Come,
John Daily, Mayor of Limerick, and
Major Mcbride, late of the Irish brig
ade in the ~,Transyaal. addressed two
thousand of their eountrymen tonight
in Central Music Hall. Miss Come
quoted facts and figures to prove that
parliamentary agitation had been of
no usefulness to the Irish cause and
that open rebellion is now the only
remedy to which her countrymen could
look for alienation of their troubles.
Mayor Daily reinforced her remarks with
a broadside of personal experiences aimed
at the parliamentary agitators, who, he
charged. are traitors to the cause. He
closed with an appeal to all Irishmen to
temporiZe with England only so long as
the party would cover the introduction of
arms and ammunition into the island in
preparing for open war.
Major Mcbride stirred the audience with
a story of the Irish ~brigades in the Trans
vail beside the Boer regiments.

THE largest n THE STbIE.
$4,000 ACRES OF COAL LAND OPTION
ED AND BEING TAKEN
J. v. THOMPSON AND OTHERS
OF Unfontown, Pa, Who Have Large
Holdings In This Section Are Be-
hind the Deal-1 he Land Stretches
Along the Line of the b. & o. Rail-
road From Board Tree FUNNEL to
GioverS Gap.

After nearly two years work a large
coal deal has been consummated, by
which the hand owners along the line
of the b. & 0. railroad between Glover's
Gap, in Marion county, and Board Tree
tunnel, in Wetzel county, are to re-
ceive over s4o0. 600 for the coal priv
largest coal field in number of acres
in the State. The options are being
taken UP and the money paid at Hun
dred, w. Va, through the lazy firm of
Arnett & Conway, OF Fairmont. The
deeds are made cut to J. V. Thompson
and others, of Uniontown, Pa.
The entire tract stretches between
the two points named, and is situat-
ed on both sides of the B. & o. line.
It embraces $4,000 acres. The price
paid ranges from $40 to s25. with an
average of nearly 500 IN acre. Some
of the farmers would not sell merely
the coal privileges, but had to be
bought out entirely.
It is understood that this deal was
closed with Mr.. Thompson by NJ. L..
Benedum, president of the First Citi-
Zens' Eank of Cameron, and w. H.
Conaway, of the firm of Arnett & Con-
away, some time hast fall. 1t is re-
ported that active developments will
be commenced in the near future and
a large coal plant viii be established
at nee. The coal is Pittsburg vein
and about 500 feet in depth.
Mr.. Conaway was in the city last
evening, but when asked as to the deal
and plans for developments, declined
to discuss the matter. He would not,
however, deny the authenticity of the
report given above. 1t has been known
for some time that Mr.. Conoway has
been taking options in that vicinity,
and the mere fact that his firm is set
ting up the optioned land is proof
positive that the deal is the am
This makes the third large tract of
coal which has been taken UP in this
vicinity by the same company of
Uniontown capitalists. The second
has not been given much publicity. 1t
is attract of about IA, 900 acres situated
in Marshall county, in Union, Sand
Hill and Webster districts. The land
lies near the line of the Pfttsburg, Con-
nellsville & Wheeling railroad now
under construction. The price paid for
the holding aggregated about 5000, 600.
The third is the deal recently closed
by Attorney Dunlap, of West Alexan-
der, for 5000 acres in Richland dis
trict, this county. The price paid for
this coal was something e $751; 900.
1t is rumored that the company will
begin operations near Glover's Gap in
the near future. The fact that the
holding is on the railroad makes 1t
very probable that the land will be
worked Immediately, if the company
has any intention of developing.

DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
DEATH OF SENATE BILL
NO. Isl
Thei Advisory kilograms and Let
ters to Governor Atkinson Ferced
Governor to Veto the Obnox-
ieus Insurance Measure.

Cftentimes business men are far
ahead of any politician in attaining an
end, where influence is necessary. 1t
is undoubtedly the case that The in
fiuence the Wheeling insurance men
brought t 0 bear on Governor Atkinson
killed Senate bin No. 1s1. which has
heretofore been referred to as that
obnoxious insurance measure a fee
grabbing game pure and simple, which
on its face looked like a revenue meas
ure.
At the State Legislature, when House
bill No. 49, preventing outside agents
from writing any insurance inside the
confines of the state. was passed,
an attempt was made TO coun-
teract the effect. The attempt
came in the form OF SenAse
bill No. ISL. The was rela-
tive to insurance revenue for the SKATE.
So it appeared an its face, but was
merely a disguised form of fee grab
bling, one-third of the fees going to the
Auditor and two+thirds TO the SaHte.
An attempt was made to kill the
Senate measure in the House, but the
lobby was too strong and the measure
passed.
The whole fact of the matter is that
had the matter stood. it world have
neutralized the effect of House bin No.
40. if not repealed it. This was ex-
actly opposite to the wishes of the
State insurance men and exactly in
line with the desires of the large army
of outside agents who do a very large
business in West Virginia.
The insurance men in this city were
in reality accountable for the action
OF Governor Atkinson in repeating
''that obnoxious insurance measure"
They were acquainted of it Immediate
ly after its passage, and explanatory
letters and kilograms were showered
upon the Governor. In fact, so much
pressure was brought to bear that he
could not have taken any other action.
The Wheeling insurance men were as
sisted by the members from Ohio our
ty on the ground.

credited only $12, 900 on his books. The
fiscal says he has suspicious that Rath-
bone is implicated, but is now unable
to prove it.

ACCORDING TO A STATEMENT by
PRESIDENT MITCHELL, OF THE
MINE WORKERS.
GIVEN AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE
IN MARKETING THE PRODUCT OF
THE STATE, THUS CUTTING
DOWN PRICES.

CHICAGO, March 2. President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers
Of America, in discussing to-day the
production of coal in the State of West
Virginia and its effect upon the coal
industry in the other coal producing
States, said:
1T is apparent to every n inter-
ested in the mining industry that the
West Virginia operators are being
favored by the railroads hauling coal
from that State. If a thorough inves-
tigation is made, I am satisfied that it
will be shown that the Interstate com
merce law is being violated and that
as a result the welfare of all those de-
pendent upon the coal industry in other
States is being seriously menaced by
reason of the extraordinary increase in
West Virginia production and the ex-
tremely low rates at which that coal is
being sold in every market which it
has invaded"
