TO DEMAND WAGE INCREASE
REPRESENTATIVES, OF 10000
RAILROAD MEN MEET.
BrotherhOods OF Engineers, Firemen,
TTainmea and Order of Railway Com
ductOTs wiII stand TOgcsher-Every
Railroad in the Middle aud NOrth-
Chicago Concerned.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-The Chronicle to-
morrow will say: With the purpose of
formulating requests for increases of
from 10 to 20 per cent. in the pay of 170,-
900 railroad employees, committees from
four powerful labor organizations are
now holding daily sessions in Chicago
and may be expected to present their
demands to the railroad officials early
next week. The four organizations rep
resented by the committee are:
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
membership 41,0O0; Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Firemen, membership 47,000;
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
membership $4,000; Order of Railway
Conductors, membership $4,000.
For the first time in eight years the
four organizations are working in har-
mony and may be counted upon to
stand together in the possibility of
trouble with the railroads.
1t is announced by members of the
committees representing the organiza-
tions that requests for increases in pay
; will be made by the four organizations
from every railroad system in the mid
die and northwest. Eastern roads en-
tering the city will be similarly dealt
with.
The railroads are to be given one
month to meet the demands made by
the organizations. If by that time the
roads shall fail to show a disposition
to treat with the individual organiza-
tions and committees of their own men,
concerted action will be taken.
The committees of the four organiza-
tions will report upon the treatment
that their requests have met with by
the general managers of the railroads
at St. Louis.
1t is the general opinion that drastic
action will be unnecessary and that an
amicable adjustment Of the wage ques-
tion will be effected.

COAL STRIKE COMMISSION
WILL RESUME TAKING OF TES-
TIMONY TO-DAY.
Entire Membership In Scranton
Miners Change Their Programmes
Conditions in Middle of HazIeton
District to be Taken Up-Twenty
Italians and PoIanders, Including
Women and Children, TO Testify.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 2.-The entire
membership of the anthracite coal
strike commission is now here, and is
ready to resume the hearings at ten
o'clock tomorrow morning.
When the commission adjourned week
before last it was hoped by the arbitra-
tors that the contending parties would
come to an understanding on some, if
not all, of the points in dispute and it
is known that the commissioners are a
little disappointed at the failure of the
two parties to agree. They will now
proceed, as they have done heretofore,
and listen to all the information that
either side has to present
The commissioners have no idea how
long the hearings will continue. When
adjournment was taken ten days ago
the miners were still presenting their
side of the controversy. President
Mitchell, Rev. DR.. Peter Roberts, of
Mahanoy City, Pa, and several physi-
clans had testified for the miners, and
it was the intention to next place
Thomas D. Nichols, president of Dis
trict No. l of the United Mine Workers
of America, on the stand. This pro-
gramme, however, has been changed,
and it is now the intention of the at
torneys for the mine workers to take
up the conditions in the middle of the
Hazleton district. For this purpose
about twenty Italians and Polanders,
among whom there were some women
and children, We're brought here this
afternoon from the Hazleton region.
All Of them, including the children, will
take the witness stand and tell of the
conditions prevailing among their peo-
pie in that territory.

BRITISH COMMENT ON MESSAGE
Its Conservative Rather Than Revolu-
tienary Policy Diaappoinring.

Its Conservative Rather Than Revolu-
tionary Policy Disappointing.
London, Dec. 3.-Some Of the London
morning papers regard President
Roosevelts message as disappointing
inasmuch as, according to their view,
''he adopts cautious and conservative
policy rather than revolutionary one
in dealing with the trust question and
the tariff"
On the whole, however, while care
fully examining the message in detail
there is, not a strong disposition on the
part of the press to strongly criticise.
The general impression is that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been influenced by
the warning echoes of the last cleo
tions and that he seeks to attract
rather than attempts to compel the sup
port of congress.
A leading paper says: ''The message
is more remarkable for the lofty IDEAL
ism of its language than for any bold
ness in its specific. recommendations.
The presidents enuneiation of the
foreign policy of the United States and
his advocacy Of a strong navy meet
with warm appreciation and the mes
sage generally is welcomed as tram
quilting one by proving that no organic
change of policy is intended.

YESTERDAY In CONGRESS.
READING OF PRESIDENTS MES
SAGE IN BOTH HOUSES.

ny ~ Ah AAo SSnNte anu hHh AAouE IA the
House-OnIy Half .he Democratic
Senators Pressnt-ReadIng Listened
to with Interesf-AIgcr Sworn In.
Washington, Dec. 2.-Interest in the
session of the senate to-day was height
ened by the fact that the presidents s
message to congress was read and also
that General Russell A. Alger, of Mich
igan, former secretary of war under
President Mckinley, was sworn in to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Senator Mcmillan. His desk and chair
were hidden beneath mass of flowers,
and as he took his seat he was sur
rounded by a number of his colleagues,
who extended hearty congratulations.
In the gallery were a number of Cen
eral Alger's personal friends and MEM
bers of his family.
One hour and fifteen minutes were
consumed in reading the presidents
message. Almost the entire republican
representation were in their seats, but
not more than half the seats on the
democratic side were occupied. The
closest attention was paid to the mes
sage as it was being read, and fire.
quently senators would confer regard
ing some special portion of it which
had attracted their particular notice.
A number of bills and resolutions
were introduced following a brief eX-
ecutive session. The resignation Of
Rev. w. H. Milburn, the blind chaplain
of the senate, was received with gen.
uine regret, He had become familiar
figure in the body and was personally
acquainted with every senator. No ac-
ton was taken on the resignation.
At 1850 p. m. the senate adjourned
until tomorrow out of respect to the
memory of the late Charles H. Russell,
representative from, Connecticut.
The house was in session an hour and
forty minutes to-day. One hour of that
time was consumed in reading the pres
ident's message. The reading was
listened to with the closest attention
by members without regard to party,
but without demonstration, except at
the conclusion Of the reading, when the
republicans applauded generously. Mr..
Cannon, chairman of the committee on
appropriations, gave notice that the bill
to defray the expenses of the coal
strike commission would be called up
tomorrow. The deaths of the late
Representatives De Graffenreid and
Sheppard, of Texas, which occurred
during the recess, were announced and
after adopting the customary resolu-
tions of regret the house adjourned as
a further mark Of respect to their MEM
cries. I'll" % .ser

statement:
The bureau Of soils, which has been

type and have found the character Of
leaf possessing these desired qualities
under conditions which indicate that it
can be produced in large quantities Of
uniformly high grade. Only a small
amount of this leaf has been grown this
year which could be fermented. Sam
pies have been submitted to leaf dealers
and brokers in New York and Philadel-
phia. They say it is a Cuban leaf with
the characteristic aroma Of the Cuban
product. The department will send two

was advisable at this session inasmuch
as full delegation from Virginia and
from other states which had adopted.
new constitutions will present creden-
tials at the beginning of the next con-

lieves it best to let the case of Repre-
sentative Glass pass for the session.
