Little of Importance Done at Morning
Session

SHAMOKIN. Pa, March 20.-The third
days session Of the miners convention be-
gan promptly at o'clock, the business

Mitchell said the scale committee would
probably not present their conclusions until
tomorrow. and that he looked for an early
adjournment today. The committee on res
olutions cannot submit q report until the
scale Is arranged.
The published statements that the replies
of the operators to President Mitchelrs re-
quest for q conference might be construed
as virtual recognition of the mine work.
ers' union, MI. Mitchell regards as incor-
rect Referring to the letters Of the presi-
dents of the operating companies MI
1--WE do not regard them as recognition in
any degree"
Nothing Of Importance developed at the
morning session. Neither the scale commit
tee nor the committee on resolutions re-
ported. and the delegates. according to
President Mitchell, devoted the time to
general discussion Of the situation In the
three districts. Thomas Barrett and Jas.
Mullaly of WilkeSbarre, state president
and secretary, respectively, Of the Fire
mems Union, arrived here today to appear
before the convention In behalf Of the mine

OF their intention to give their entire net

Tobacco Company's offer to distribute a
bonus amounting to $4,000. cannot be COM
pared with the bonus the retailers will re-
ceive If they continue to trade with the

leled, " 'Stupendous.'' "Amazing' are few
OF the adjectives applied to this bombsheii.

American side has brought them the adher-
ence Of a number Of influential retailers

SUMMING UP IN WILCOX CASE.
Will Probably Go to the Jury This
Afternoon.
special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ELIZABETH CITY. N. c., March 10
District Attorney Ward this morning made
the closing speech for the prosecution in
the Wilcox case. After the doctors evi-
dence had been reviewed he said there was
no resisting the conclusion that Miss Crop
sey did not die by suicide. He then agrued
that no one but Wilcox had the motive or
opportunity. No one else had made a
threat and nobody else could have murder
ed the girl.
There IL a strong case Of circumstantial
evidence against the prisoner. After fall
ing out with a sweetheart whom he had
visited three years he made an Indirect
threat. He was the last person seen with
her alive. He cannot account for twenty
minutes of time and acted indiferently
during the search.
The argument. which has been going on
for two days. will be concluded this after
noon by Counsel Aydlett for the defense.
Judge Jones will consume several hours In
reviewing evidence and charging the jury.
Many people here think the jury will dis
agree. Wilcoxs wonderful bearing and in
difference Is the trials feature. While
scenes and words of pathos have caused
his sisters, his father, the Cropleys. the
spectators and lawyers on both sides to
weep In court, Jim has sat with rigid and
Unconditional expression throughout.

CANAL BILL IN SENATE.
Will Probably Be Taken Up After
Chinese Exclusion Measure.

The announcement in the Senate this at
ternoon by Mr.. Aldrich, chairman OF the
committee on finance, that tomorrow he
VII, ask tor the immediate consideration Of
the bill reduce the war revenue in no
way inteb3eres with the general plan Of the
steering Imn,ittee for the consideration of
other me4euressbefore the Senate.
The binato rs 1ce the war revenues will
have exa6tiy Il same treatment as appro-
priation bills, 1t has been understood
from the first Il fat whenever the committee
on finance sho0d report it it would have
the right of wa It will not take much Ct

very Willingly Hbte for bill to reduce rev.
revenue or the protective tariff that would
be affected.
Following the war revenue bill will be
the oleomargarine and then the Chinese
exclusion bills which Is as niue has has
been definitely agreed upon by the steering
committee. After those bills have been
disposed of it Is probable that the Hep
burn Nicaragua canal bill will be taken
ing the canal bill given the right Of way.
but 1t Is not likely that 1t will be sum-
cient to impede the consideration OF the
bill.
before the canal bill will be the effort on
the part Of the advocates of the Panama
canal to have some measure passed that
will allow the purchase of the property oil
the new Panama Canal Company. The dis
cussion of the canal bill will involve
general discussion Of the relative advan-
tages of the two routes by way of Panama
and through Nicaragua and Costa Rtca.
The plan most likely to be pursued by
the Panama canal advocates is to ask for
the passage of the SpoOner amendment.
which provides that the President be given
power to purchase the Panama property
provided the new Panama Canal Company
and the congress of Colombia will join In
giving a satisfactory title.
They will strongly urge reliance on the
report Of the isthmian canal commission
favoring the Panama route, II the property
car be bought for $4O.0OO,OOO, as proposed
by the company. This would place upon the
President of the United States the burden
OF deciding whether the title offered would
be satisfactory to the United States.

SUGAR CROP FAILS.
Spanish Cane Ruined by tho Winter
Erosts

The Department Of State Is Informed by
United States Consul Ridgely at Malaga,
that the unusual frosts Of December and
January have wrought so much damage to
the sugar cane Of that Spanish province that
not more than half crop Of sugar can be
expected this year.
Sugar cane is grown all along the coast
OF Malaga. and the annual yield Of sugar Is
about 10000 tons. There are seventeen
sugar factories in the provinces Of Malaga
and Granada. employing many thousand
hands. Grinding generally begins about the
middle Of March.
1.-The loss Of the sugar cane CROP" says
Consul Ridgely, has resulted in the re-
fuSal of the manufacturers to take any
part In the proposed organization Of Span
ish sugar makers. with the view Of limit
ing production. There has been an over
production Of sugar-particularly OF beet
sugar-in Spain for several years, and
strenuous efforts were recently made to
form a syndicate Of all the sugar manufac-
turers in Spain for mutual benefits along
certain lines. This is understood to have
failed because one of the most important
beet sugar factories refused to participate
and for the further reason that the cane
sugar manufacturers. In view Of the largely
increased crop, saw no advantage In any
further plan to limit production"

NO DEMAND MADE.
Turkey Has Not Been Called on for
Stone Ransom.

The persistent circulation Of reports that
the State Department has made demand
upon Turkey for reimbursement of the
money expended in the ransom OF Miss
Stone. is causing & good deal of annoyance
to the officials. 1t can be stated as a fact
that the Department of State has made no
such demand on Turkey and consequently
the Turkish government has not fatty
refused to pay. AS already stated, Mr..
Leishman some time ago lodged caveats
with the Turkish and Bulgarian gov
ernments, saving the right of the United
States government to prefer a demand
for reparation and reimbursement in
the Stone case, when 1t was able to fix
the responsibility. Up to this time the Of
ficial reports from Minister Leishman sup
plemented by verbal reports from Mr..
Spencer Eddy, have not put the State De-
partment in possession Of sufficient facts
to determine this question of responsibility.
Such as it is, moreover, so far from JUS
tifying demand upon Turkey, the testi-
mony points with great force to Bulgaria
as having at least a sinister connection
with the kidnapping.

The Licensing Of Masseurs.
From American Medicine

There are several reasons why treatment
by massage should be taken In hand and
regulated in legal and professional man
ner. In the first place, 1t would put the
osteopath in his proper place. lat is new
in his therapy is not true and what is true
is not new, but this does not prevent him
from stealing the old without thanks or
acknowledgment and attempting to prac-
tice medicine on the new untrue part OF the
fad. Let him. therefore. \be legally re-
quired to secure the right to put in prac-
tice his valuable but partial old truth and
art by a proper examination and license.
In the second place. there is danger that
what is good in massage will be degraded
and ignored because of the base uses to
which it has been prostituted. A law
against such misuse should be passed pro-
hibiting signs in disreputabie streets and
places and advertisements in more dfsrepu-
table newspapers. The educated. moral and
responsible nassenrs and naasseuses should
do all they. can to, stop the abuse: the pro-
fession. should help In the work because Of
the scandalous misa appropriation of a good
therapeutic measure. and legisiators and
the public SHOULD be most glad to lend sup
port to commendable reform

WIRELESS TELEPHONY TEST.
Partially Successful Experiment Made
on the Potomac Today.

fairly successful practical test of wire
less telephony was made this afternoon on
the Potomac river about a half mile
above the aqueduct bridge. The test was
made from an instrument on the shore to
an instrument on the steamer Bartholdi,
one-third of mile away.
A wire was grounded on the shore and
wires from the boat were dropped over the
stern into the water. The sound of har-
monica, while partially indistinct, was read
lily recognized. as was also the sound of the
human voice counting. Among those who
witnessed the test were Mr.. J. Waldeare
Kirk of New York. Charles R. Brown. also
of New York: Alonzo X. Smith of Chicago,
Mr.. Gerald Sennell Of New York Mr.. Hen
ry Clay Fish Of New York, and number of
others.
The party was in charge of Mr.. r. c.
Mccullough Of New York The experiment
was made under the direction of Mr.. Ma
thaniel Stubblefield OF Lexington, KY, who
Is the inventor.
Experiments OF wireless telephony were
also made on the ground. These tests were
more satisfactory than the water expert
ment. Talking was plainly heard. as was
also music MIR. Stubblefield made the eX-
periments with miniature instruments. He
maintains that with larger instruments
there Is no limit to the field.

TO SEND COMMISSIONERS.
Maryland Will Be Represented at Me
mortal Bridge Inception.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS. Md.
March 2O.-Mr Johnson of Montgomery
county has introduced the following joint
resolution in the general assembly:
Whereas 1t Is proposed to erect across
the Potomac river at Washington me-
mortal bridge, and
Whereas the plans provided for by the
United States government for said bridge
have been approved by the War Depart
ment, and
Whereas it is proposed to lay the corner
stone Of said bridge in the month of Oc-
tober. A. d. 1902.
Therefore, be it resolved by the general
assembly Of Maryland that the governor OF
this state shall appoint five commissioners
to represent this state to be present at the
laying of the corner stone Of the memorial
bridge across the Potomac river at WASH
ington.
The Montgomery delegates seem to be in
a quandary over the license question, and
1t is doubtful what they will do. 1t Is con-
ceded, however, that Senator Jones Is in no
doubt to his course, and 1t is reasonably
certain that no matter what may be done
by the county members in the house, the
local option laws which now prevail in
Montgomery will not be disturbed this ses-
sion. Senator Jones Is apparently opposed
to any change and will stop any legislation
on the subject should 1t get to the senate.
