MINERS MAKE GAINS
MORE ENGINEERS AND PUMPMEN
QUIT WORK.
MEN ARE BEHAVING WELL.
FEWER ARRESTS SINCE THAN BE-
FORE STRIKE.

Closing Down of the Susquehnnnn
ticoke without Water Supply
and a Water Famine Is Imminent.
Company VIII Allow Mines to FIJI
and Town Can Look Out for Itself.
President Mitchell Says Every
thing Is satisfactory.
Wilkesbarre, Pa. June 4.-More en-
gineers, firemen and pump runners
joined the miners union and struck
to-day, but in most instances the coal
company officials were able to fill the
places of the strikers. The Susque-
hanna Coal Company's colliery No
at Nanticoke was the worst sufferer,
all the firemen refusing to go to work,
which compelled the company to shut
down the engines. This colliery fur
nishes the power for the water supply
of Nanticoke, and unless the engines
are again started the borough will have
d water famine to contend with. There
was a slight fire in the town to-day
and as the fire alarm is sounded by
means of colliery whistles, there was
considerable trouble and delay before
the volunteer firemen could be called
to the scene of the fire. The company,
it is said, will allow its mines to fill
with water and let the borough get
its water supply as best it can.
it was comparatively quiet to-day in
the Wyoming Valley. There was the
usual gathering OF crowds at starting
and stopping time, but nothing of a
serious nature occurred. Some men
were stoned on their way to and from
work and several were thrown into
pools of water. The fear of bodily harm
is causing more men to quit work than
are the arguments of the strikers.
President Mitchell was kept busy all
day in his headquarters. He
ing his visit to Scranton
last night, where he met Frank P.
Sargent chief of the Locomotive Fire
men Regarding the general strike sit
uatiOn he said everything was pro-
crossing satisfactorily; that more men
were coming out each day, and that
the idle men are behaving themselves
we'll In emphasizing the latter state
ment, Mr.. Mitchell said the chief of
the Wilkesbarre police told him that
during the twenty-one days the strike
has been on, there have been fewer
arrests than during the same number
of days prior to the suspension of
work. Among the reports of violence
that were made not one was a miner.
The national president had no COM
ment to make when informed that the
New York Board of Trade had decided
to ask President Roosevelt to take
up the task of trying to end the great
struggle.

WANT IMMEDIATE TRIAL.
Railroads Request That Test Case be

Made in Memphis-COttOn Pool In
dictment.
Washington, June 4.-There was
conference here to-day between w. w.
Finley, the second vice president of
the Southern Railway Company and
representatives, legal and otherwise,
of the six railroads indicted last week
by the federal grand jury at Memphis
on charge of conducting a pooling
arrangement for controlling the Mem
phis cotton business. Representatives
of several other railroads, including
the Seaboard Air Line, charged with
having an incidental interest in the
business of the indicted railroads. We're
also in attendance. The railroad cor
porations are anxious to have prompt
and speedy determination of the is
sues raised in the Indictment, and it
was for the purpose of considering
suggestions of this character that the
conference was held. Having this ob-
ject in view, Mr.. Finley and his
associates called on the members of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
during the day and discussed the ques-
ton very fully with them. They urged
a test case instead of awaiting the or
binary court procedure, which will de-
lay the trial of the questions at issue
until late next fall. This they argued
was but justice to the railroads, who
the representatives of the corporations
asserted were not violating the law
They made these representations, they
said, to show the good faith of the
railroads who were willing to assist the
commission in every way in their pow
er. The commission win take the mat
ter under consideration. The railroad
officials concluded their work during
the afternoon.

WHAT Mr.. MARTIN SAYS.

Mr.. w. c. Martin of Lenox, Lowndes
county, who went from near Valdosta,
was for years and years afflicted with
both rheumatism and eczema. He could
not afford to lose time, and in his ca
gerness to get rid of these ailments
took almost everything which is sold
over the counter of drug stores A
great many of the preparations bene-
fitted him some, but the ailments always
returned. In spring and summer these
ailments were worse. Finally he got
hold of Graybeard and it cured him.
He was so delighted with the medicine
that he told his friends far and near of
it and said Il would not take $500
for the benefit derived from a few bot
ties of Graybeard. 1 was afflicted with
rheumatism and had a touch of ecze-
ma, and was broken down generally,
and Graybeard restored me to health.''

BECOMING A LOST ART.
SniImaking of To-day Almost For
gotten Calling.

gotten Calling.
From the New York Evening Post.
Richard Hathaway, perhaps the old
est sailmaker along the waterfront, in
talking over the gradual disappearance
from the sea of the old-time sailing
vessels, as their place is taken by
steamboats,, give an alarming proph
ecy in regard to his one-time famous
trade. In his opinion twenty-five years
hence the art of sailmaking will be
unknown, since no more boys are APP
prenticed to the trade nowadays, and
the old hands at the work, are disap-
pearing at a rapid rate.
Fifty years ago." says this old
man, as he sits alone in his stud
ded loft with its whitewashed brick
walls at the top of a building on South
street, when the swift packets of the
Black Wall Line were sailing across
the Western ocean, it was hard work
for vessel to get a berth at any of
these docks. To-day, with about the
same number of docks, there are open
spaces or holidays everywhere
In those days the usual practice was
this: Shippers when they reached port
would hunt about for some time until
they finally fell upon some spot where
their craft could be squeezed in among
the others. After considerable argll-
ment with the dockmaster, this would
be accomplished. A few days later the
dockmaster and the skipper would
meet in the street The former would
ask the latter to drink. When the pair
were alongside the bar the dockmaster
would remark: I'm in a tight place
now, captain; can you lend me $40 or
$40 for a day or two?" The skipper
would respond cheerfully, and that was
the end of the matter The loan was
never thought of again. One of the
chief causes for the present greatly
diminished number of sailing vessels
is the fact that during the war a great
number of packets were pat under the
English flag. When the war was over
no law could be brought about, try as
shipping men might, by which they
could be brought back again to the
American register.
"Sailmakers," says this disciple of
the palm and needle, were men of a
very different position in the old days.
Each morning they came to. the sail
lofts with their high hats, canes and
kid gloves. None of them ever asked
for a job. Instead they were at once

Washington, June 4.-Senor Buenca-
mino to-day continued his statement
before the Committee on Insular At
fairs, explaining the address to the
American Congress made by him, adj
vocating Philippine independence. He
said the original document showed that
he wrote it as Aguinaldo's secretary.
He said he might be obliged to divulge
some secrets of Agoncillo and Lopez.
He stated there we're four Filipino
agents abroad working at odds, and
making independence impossible.
Agonclllo. and Lopez had accused each
other of being traitors.
1here were several sharp passages
between Chairman Cooper and Mr..
Jones as to the latters questions. One
OF them, touching on a statement by
the witness as to religion, was excluded
oy the chairman with the declaration
that 1t was plain and palpable at
tempt to arouse religious prejudice. Mr..
Jones commented on the fact that the
witness, who had changed his views,
enjoyed a fat office, while Aguinaldo
was prisoner.
The palatial esta adjustment of Aguin-
aldo was described by the witness in
the course of the afternoon hearing.
he said Aguinaldo had palace for a
prison. Here, the witness said, Aguin-
aldo lived with his family, with a ply
stefan at his disposal, a retinue of ser
wants, a carriage and an allowance to
provide food for the establishment.
Buencamino resented the suggestion
that government office had influ-
enced his testimony favorable to the
United States. He strongly opposed a
colonial system, declaring that that
system made Spanish rule a failure,
which should be warning to the Uni
ted States.

House Decides That There Shall Be
No Investigation of Gen. Woods
Expenditures in Cuba.
Washington, June 4.-The debate
upon the anti-anarchy bill continued
all day in the House. 1t was without
sensational features, being confined al
most entirely to the legal and constit-
utional phases of the question. Mr.
Jenkins of Wisconsin and Mr.. Parker
of New Jersey contended that the bill
did not go far enough; that the killing
of the President should be made pun
ishable by death without any limita-
ton whatever,
Mr.. Powers of Massa chusetts and
Mr.. Nevin of Ohio, the other two
speakers, supported the measure as it
came from the committee.
Mr.. Hull of Iowa, chairman of the
Committee on Military Affairs, re-
ported back the resolution calling upon
the Secretary of War for a detailed
statement of the expenditures made
urder the direction of Gen. Leonard
Wood during his administration as
governor general of Cuba, with the re-
recommendation that it lie upon the

port was adopted, 10 to 49,

Federation of Labor, which has been
laid over until the next convention.
Those who did talk were strong in the
opinion that the brotherhood would
never enter the federation.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
In January last when the Gridiron
Club, that most famous of newspaper
mems organizations, held their annual
dinner, President Roosevelt was the
guest of honor. 1t is an unwritten law
of the club that nothing which occurs
in the banquet hall shall be given pub
licity. 1t will do no harm, however, to
refer to one statement made by the
President in responding to a toast
IF l wish to keep a secret" he said.
II always take the newspaper men in
to my confidence"
The president of the Gridiron Club
is Robert j. Wynne. He presided at
the banquet, and President Roosevelt,
as the guest of honor was seated at
his right. Just before the President
started on his trip to South Carolina
he sent word to Wynne to come to the
White House before - a. m. When
Wynne got there the President asked
him to accept the place of first as
sistant Postmaster General. A Western
senator had been urging one of his
constituents for the appointment, and
until this senator could communicate
with his candidate and arrange mat
tiers satisfactorily the President did
not wish his offer to Wynne to become
public.
How shall we keep this out of the
papers, Wynne?" asked the President.

1t was done. Wynne notified a ma
