Engineers, Firemen and Pumpmen In
the Anthracite Region Out

Engineers, Firemen and Pumpmen In
the Anthracite Region Out
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 3-The
strike of the engineers, firemen and
pumpmen employed in the anthracite
coal collieries for an S-hotr day at
present wages was inaugurated at z
a. m. There are conflicting reports as
to the number Of men that quit work.
The Mine Workers officials claim that
fully 80 per cent of the men obeyed the
strike order, but the companies dis
pute this figure.
The mining superintendent of the
big coal companies say that reports re-
ceived from their own collieries and
those of individual operators show that
the pumps as a rule are in operation.
They admit that a great majority of
the firemen quit work and that large
numbers of pumpmen and engineers
also refused to report, but add that in
nearly every operation enough men
were on hand to fill the strikers
places.
The entire region is reported to be
very quiet, which condition greatly re-
lieved the apprehensive feeling that
has prevailed for the last few days.
1t is the belief of both sides, however,
that the struggle has just begun and
there is no telling when or where an
outbreak will occur. That there will
be some disturbance is not doubted.
A local authority says there are en-
ployed in the 357 collieries in the an
thracite region 1,070 engineers, 5000
firemen and 1,425 pumpmen.

Important Supreme Court Decision
Regarding the Assessment Of
Personal Property
for Taxea.

The supreme court has handed down
a decision in the case of Gaar, Scott
& Co. VS.. ]. A. Serum, sheriff of Trail
county. The decision reverses the
judgment of the court below. The
one question raised in the case was
the right to assess and tax personal
property in the year in which it is
brought into the state, when 1t comes
into the state after April 1 Of that
year. The court holds that no personal
property can be assessed for the pur-
pose of taxation which was not in the
state on April of the year when it
was SO assessed. This, Of course, does
not apply to personal property which
happens to be out of the state on that
day when taken out temporarily.

Meeting of Opposition Senators Held
Later and a Decision Reached to
Oppose Concessions to Cuba,

oppose concessions TO Cupa.
Washington, June 3.-Senators Mel
son, Proctor, Gamble and Kittredge
were at the White House during the
forenoon on invitation and had a con-
ference with the president in regard to
pending legislation. The subjects dis
cussed were the Cuban reciprocity bill
and the prospects for canal legislation
at this session. The object of the con-
ference was to urge upon the senators
the necessity for unanimity of action
and the real necessity for legislation
on these subjects at this session. An
other conference will be held during
the evening at the White House with
other senators in the hope that the
members of the senate can be gotten
together on these matters and legisla-
ton speedily enacted. AS to the canal
bill it is known that the president
would reluctantly accept the RESPONSE
buity imposed by the Spooner amend
ment of electing route, but he would
much prefer that congress select the
route itself.
The president sent for number of
senators who have been known in op-
position to granting concessions to
Cuba on the ground that it will seri-
ously interfere with the beet sugar in
.erests II the country. he urged upon
these senators the Importance of unit
ed action if possible and expressed the
hope that the Republicans would act
together. The president ngain assured
these Republicans that in urging ac-
tion on reciprocity he was carrying
cut the announcement of President Nc
Kinley, uttered in his last speech,
which had met with such popular ap-
E.ptoyal throughou the country, also
dsAa thai. had been made
81 sc9ncsslnp to Cuba, The
sneHaH snt made it obli-
E:sa 1isiIF1as assH States to treat

He told these Hs pnblican senators that
the party ought MOTTO be divided on
tariff issues as it was entering the
campaign and he expressed the hope
that the Cuban bill would be passed
without the aid of Democratic votes.
One result of the conferences that
have been held at the White House
was meeting at o'clock in the CON-
mittee room Of Senator Elkins, where
those senators opposed to granting
concessions to Cuba or who rejected
the straight reciprocity plan of the
majority assembled to consider the
propositions. Eighteen senators at.
tended the conference. The general
sentiment was in favor of defeating
any proposition for Cuban reciprocity,
hut in order to secure harmOnv an
agreement was made that they would
support a rebate plan, the money to be
returned to the Cuban government.

Booths Broken Leg.
Mudd was a physician, and It was to
his house that Booth had ridden on the
night Of his great crime. There his
broken leg had been set, and there he
had been secreted for one day. The
doctor was an educated man Of refined
and dignified manner. He had never
quite recovered from his surprise that
any one should find fault with him for
setting a broken bone for a stranger.
He always asserted that he did not
know Booth and was not aware at the
time that Booth had committed
crime. But Mudd had been an ardent
secessionist He was accordingly SEN
fenced to imprisonment for life.
It was hard fate to be called upon
for professional services by wounded
desperate and then narrowly to escape

were terrible blow, from which Mudd
never recovered. He had left devoted
wife at his home in Maryland, and his
mental suferings were. 80 severe that
he seemed always on the verge of In
sanity. He had at first been put to
work with wheelbarrow; but. having
never done any manual labor, he was
rapidly failing under the combined
physical and mental strain. For this
reason directed that he be transferred
b the prisoners hospital as nursn.
There he made himself exceedingly
useful, and there he might have re-

evil hour overcome his judgment. While
a ship lay at the wharf he contrived to
get aboard and secrete himself in the

did not know before, that no ship was

that every prisoner was in his place.

Washington, June 3.-In passing on

United States supreme court, in an
opinion delivered by Chief. Justice Full
Ter, decided the national bankruptcy

held that to be valid a bankruptcy law

form, when the trustee takes in each
state whatever would have been avail
able to the creditors if the bankruptcy
law had not been passed" He added:
"The general operation of the law is
uniform. although it may result in GER
tain particulars differently in different
states" He also said: Congress may
prescribe any regulations concerning
discharge in bankruptcy that are not
so grossly unreasonable as to be in
compatible with fundamental law, and
we cannot find any thing in this act
on that subject which would justify
us in overthrowing its action."'
