.on, and after the statement of the con-
Ierees had been read. Representative

to the Senate amendment appropriating
s150.000 for improvement upon the Ana
costa River. and inquired what limit the
provision placed upon the work.
He declared with characteristics vigor
that the Anacostia fats were a menace
to the health of the Capital. and that If
the matter was not given attention by
the Committee on Rivers and Harbors
:hen it ought TO be considered by the
District Committee, which was in a
measure responsible for public health
in Washington.
MIR. Mudd referred to the fact that he
had introduced a bill which was pending
before the District Committee. and upon
which he hoped to get action authorizing
the letting of contracts for the reclama-
tion of the fats and the improvement of
the rivers to the Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge.

coming fiscal year. and authorized the
expenditure of about s3s,000,00O after
that date, or in the aggregate. the bill
as it passed the House carried sec, $751; :
2s7.
The Senate. he said. had increased the
total to s7O,1 .i39, and the conferees
just about split the difference between
the two, agreeing to total of s65. l07.-
Coz OF this sum. S26.52i,442 is appro-
priated for the year 1903. and s3s,5s6.-

Mr.. Burton said that the amendment
provided for the Improvement of the

Washington with reference to the i'm
provemen; Of navigation, the establish
ment of harbor lines, and the raising of

said. TO carefully limit the appropria-
tion to the purposes of commerce and

gineer in charge urging the necessity
for 3Oo-foot channel up to the navy
yard. and in front OF the navy yard 900
feet and twenty feet in depth, and that |

A Cash Appropriation.

Mr.. Mudd pointed out to Mr.. Hepburn

preparation and that there was no fur
fher authorization beyond June 30. 1903

introduced bill authorizing contracting
for the improvement Of the Anacostia
River and the reclamation of the fats

Dor bill was only for the purposes of

NO ACTION TAKEN AS YET.
Attorneys for Operators Consulting
With Their Employers.
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 25.-No definite
action was taken during the day with

Inc ..I E4e enlpiOyeS. Al
the attorneys of the coal companies
have gone to their respective homes
for the purpose of consulting with the
officers of the concerns they represent
and no action will be taken until they
return with power to arrange for q
settlement.
Clarence A. barrow of Chicago
leading counsel of the Mine Workers..
who was in New York Sunday, has re-
turned here. He said he visited New
York for the purpose of seeing friends
and that the proposed strike settle
ment negotiations were not mentioned
while he was there. Mr.. Darrow had
conference with Mr.. Mitchell during
the day and also had talk with Ira
H. Burns, one of the attorneys for the
Independent operators. No action of
any kind was decided upon at either
conference.
Much interest is manifested in the
position of the Independent operators,
a committee from which will hold a
conference with the presidents of the
coal roads in New York in a day or
two. They want to know what conces-
sion will be made to them by the coal
carrying roads before they consent to
an increase in wages.

Gray Approves Suggestion.

Judge Gray, as chairman of the COM
mission, in reply, said that he heard
with much satisfaction the suggestion
of Mr.. barrow and he felt the adjourn
ment would be acceptable to his col
leagues. In the meantime he hoped
both sides would confer regarding the
submission of facts and figures and
hoped that they might be able to con-
slider other matters satisfactorily.
Both sides had made their submission
of their cases, he said, and the COM
mission cannot abrogate it's duty to
make final award unless the submis-
sions are withdrawn.
Ira H. Burns of Scranton, one of the
attorneys for the Independent oper-
ators, then had short discussion with
Judge Gray regarding the position of
the independent operators. He thought
the individual concerns should have
been consulted in the matter.
Judge Gray interrupted to say that
the commission was not a party to
anything that had been done by the
large operators and the miners. All
the commissioners had done had been
done in open session.
Mr.. Burns read a statement as show
ing the position of the Independent op-
orators at this time. Under prevailing
conditions the independent operators
declare they cannot concede an ad-
vance of wages and they desire the op-
portunity of presenting facts and fig
ures which will show, they declare,
that the general average of earnings
of the miners working for the indie
pendent operators is over $500 year
and in many instances from $1,000 to
81 200 per year.

Fifteen Hundred Men out.

New York, Nov. 25.--A lockout has
been declared by the Builders and Con-
tractors association of New Rochelle,
which forced all the building trades
workmen in suburbs north of New
York, from Mount Vernon, N. Y, to the
Connecticut line, to quit work. The
number Of men out is about 1,500. The
trouble grew out of a recent strike
caused by disagreement between
plumbers and their employees.

Havana, Nov. 25.-Police Captain
Maso and two officers we're wounded
and two strikers were killed during a
demonstration in front of the palace.
In addition two policemen and several
strikers were wounded.
The strike here became general dur
ing the day. The conductors and mo-
tormen continued running their cars
until 10 o'clock when Superintendent
Greenwood ordered a suspension of
traffic. He had asked the civil governor
for protection but the authorities were
unable to protect the cars. Several Of
them were wrecked and some motor
men and conductors were injured.
The men were willing to remain at
work, but the officers of the COM
pany, in order to protect the property,
deemed it wise to suspend the service.
The situation is grave. The police
will not make arrests owing to the
pronounced sympathy of the mayor
and city officials with the strikers. A
mob of strikers drove the employees of
the Western railway from trains dur
ing the morning. No bread or meat is
on. sale and continuance of the
strike will cause much suffering to the
poor.
When the strikers became disorder
ly the mayor read the riot act and
later the police charged number of
men at the slaughterhouse and ID
jured. several of them.
The mayor gave full power to the
chief of police, who now has the situa-
ton under control. The electric cars
are again running and the mobs are
being dispersed.

TO BAR WOMEN COOKS.
Lake Steamers May Have Only the
Male Variety.

Milwaukee, Nov. 24.-If the Lake
Seaman's union prevails in a fight
about to be started no women will
hereafter be employed as cooks
aboard lake vessels. The coming fight
grows out of an alteration between
the seaman's union and the Hotel AL
lance regarding control of cooking on
the lakes. The first steps to bar wo-
men from lake galleys will be taken
during the wage conference to be held
this winter.

CHICAGO PROFESSORS OPINION.
Workman Can Support Family and

Workman Can Support Family and
Save Money on $500 Year.
Chicago, Nov. 25.-'That no man has
a right to bring into the world more
children than he can support" and
that no parents, however wealthy,
have a right to bring children into the
world and so train them that by any
possibility they may become dependent
on others" were two propositions en-
phasized by Professor J. Scott Clark
of Northwestern university in an ad-
dress at the First Congregational
church, Evanston.
The chief burden of Professor
Clark's address was the possibility of
all men and women becoming indie
pendent. Professor Clark declared
that on salary of $500 year an I'M
skilled American workman could keep
a family in comfort and save money.
He added that this was not only pos
sibility, but the duty of every work
man.

FAvoRS TARIFF BOARD.
Senator Spooner Endorses the Presi
dents Suggestion.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator
Spooner says he thinks the Republic
ans of Wisconsin would be pleased to
have a tariff commission created which
would aid congress in the work of re-
vision.
He says the people of his state would
be better satisfied with this than to
go rushing pell nell at the tariff laws
as advised by Representative Babcock
of his state.
He is against tariff revision in this
or the next congress but does not re-
gard the tariff commission scheme of
the president as means of procras-
tination.

AGREEMENT NOT UNLIKELY
In the Meantime Operators and Miners

That Good Results Will Follow.
Recognition Of the Union the Prin'

StPdI SlliHtDitiS 0tSSNs
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 24.-The propo-
sition to have the anthracite mine
workers and their employers try to
come to some agreement without the
direct aid of the arbitration commits
sion, which became publicly known
Friday, remains in the same indefinite
form as when the development first
became known. Both sides waited for
the commission to adjourn and as such
action was taken by the commission
ers Saturday it is probable that con-
ferences will be held in day or two.
Where these meetings will be held
has not yet been decided upon, nor is
it known who on each side will con-
duct the negotiations.
While most of those interested ex-
press the belief that the two parties
will be able to agree there are some
who can see no good in the new move.
It seems almost certain that the min
ersN will stand out strongly for a con-
tract with the United Mine Workers of
America, instead of yearly contracts
and conferences between each COM
pany and the men it directly employs,
as proposed by the operators. On two
of the other demands-increase in
wages and shorter workday-a COM
promise, it is thought, can readily be
made.
The commission adjourned until
Dec 8 and most of the commissioners
and out-of-town attorneys Immediately
left for their homes.
The commission was in session only
twenty minutes. Immediately on con-
vening at 10 o'clock G. s. barrow,
counsel for the miners, rose and sug-
gested that the commission adjourn Ell
Their until the LIST or Sd day of December.
He gave as his reason the inability of
the miners to present additional facts
and figures at this time and said if the
suggestion was agreed to by the attor-
neys for the operators and by the COM
