MONTH TO BE SPENT
 IN THE INVESTIGATION.

The question of the examination by the commission into the conditions under which the mining of anthracite coal is conducted, was then entered on, and Mir. Watkins of the commission suggest ed that a week or ten days time would be necessary in order to make an adequate examination of the physical condition of the mines. He applied to MT. Thomas for his opinion as to the time necessary and that gentleman replied. You will cer- tainly need that much time; I should think that thirty days would be none too little. We've grown gray in our study Of that question"
 MT. Baer fell in with the suggestion. saying it would be impossible to do jus tice to the investigation without a com plete physical inspection of the mines, and the methods of operating them MT. Mitchell thought that not only should there be an inspection of the mines, but also of the homes of the miners. He considered this investigation necessary to a complete understanding of the subject.
 After consulting with members or the commission President Gray announced that 1t would begin its inspection next Thursday. commencing its work in Dis trict No 1, in which the city of Scranton is located. While no conclusion was reached on the subject, the conversation among the members of the commission indicated that 1t is their purpose to in- vestigate the mining operations in a number of mines. While the, subject was up. Mr. Baer said that the mine opera tors would furnish all facilities at their command to enable the commission to make it's investigation thorough, adding that they would place a special train at the disposal of the commission, proyid- ing also for the accommodation of rep resentative of the miners.
 The public meeting of the commission then came to a close and the commission CTS retired for the purpose of a private consultation. They first took up the question which had been raised by the proffer of a special train by MT. Baer, and unanimously decided not to accept the train The exchange of views which followed brought out the fact that the commissioners expect personally to pay all their expenses, accepting no favors and relying upon the government to re- imburse them, if so disposed.
 Official stenographers to report the pro- ceedings of the commission and also secretaries for the members of the com mission were appointed. An agreement was reached to leave Scranton at g o'clock next Thursday morning for the first tour of inspection. There was, how ever, no agreement as to what mines should be visited that point being, left for future determination,

It is the general understanding that prac- tically all the meetings for taking testi- mony will be held in the anthracite re- gions, and it is believed the commission will be able to get to work during the present week.

Mitchell, who reached Washington at ? o'clock this morning accompanied by District President Fahey, will press for a general inquiry, while it is understood the operators will seek to restrict the in- suuiry

SMUGGLING CONSPIRACY.
chinamen Slowed Away In Box Cars
 and Sent Across the Line.

Fl Paso, Tex, October 27.-What appears to be a gigantic smuggling conspiracy for conveying contraband Chinamen from Mexico to California has just come to light here. For the past six months a half dozen United States marshals and secret service men have been working on the case, but the facts became public only to- day. It seems that the Chinamen have been slowed away in box cars of outgoing freight trains and carried as far west as the California line.
 For this service the Chinese agents are said to have paid $100 for each man smuggled to Tucson and $150 for each carried to Yuma. The afternoon papers here publish reports that cer- tain trainmen have been discharged for participation in the conspiracy, but this report has not been verified nor have there been any arrests.

He said that the plan was not entirely in accord with the wishes of the miners, who are anxious to avoid all controversy as to the interpretation of figures. President Gray then an- nounced that the commission for the present would do without appointing an expert, but that it would require that statements should be prepared and then, he added, an accountant could be secured in case 1t was found his services were aaA
