BANQUET GIVfA
 TO JUSTICE HARLAN
End of Quarter of Century on the
 Supreme Bench.

Washington, December 9.-The din- ner given by the bar of the supreme court of the United States at the New Willard hotel tonight to Justice John Marshall Harlan in recognition of the completion of twenty-five years of service on the bench of the supreme court was a brilliant function. The banquet hall was handsomely illumin ated and the tables were elaborately decorated with palms, American beau ty roses and laurel.
 In the absence of Attorney General Knox, Wayne MacVeagh presided. When the guests had been seated grace was said by Rev. F. D. Harlan of Lake Forest, H.. eldest son O; the justice who had come to Washington especial ly for the occasion. Justice Harlan was in his happiest mood and gave every evidence of his appreciation of the honor bestowed upon him. His two other sons, James $. Harlan. chief jus tice of Porto Rica, and John M. liar Ian of Chicago were also present. while Mrs. and Miss Harlan and a host of friends were interested spectators in the gallery. A hidden orchestra played popular accounts throughout the even- ing.

resentatiOn made by those opposing the admission of Arizona is to pass the on- nibus bill just as it is. While the re- marks of Senator Bard and possibly others opposing admission may not be taken seriously in Washington, the ef- fleets will be far-reaching throughout the United States so far as investors are concerned. And while the territory will go steadily ahead, its advance ment cannot possibly be as satisfactory or rapid as would have been the case had the senator complained of dealt fairly with us. I hope that my friends so far as they consistently can, will support the bill, as it stands. The passage of the bill without amend ment offers the readiest means of satis- facoriIy vindicatfng the territory. I hope that the opposition from this time on will be just, at least. I think we could have elected a republican dele gate and a republican legislature this year if it had not been for the Quay letter and the positive promises of Mark Smith that a democratic victory would assure the passage of the om- nibus bill"

4 BLACK EYE
 FOR THE MARKLES
Miners Continue Story of Con-
 pdny'S HeartIeSsnesS
The Independent Company Has So Far Made Only Formal Resistance. The Attorneys for the Miners Sat- ifised With the Situation

Scranton, Pa, December 9.-Tales of eviction from houses owned by G. B Markle & Co.,. the narration of the death of a wife as a result of the en- forced removal from her home and the story of mother whose husband was killed in Markle mines and how she and her two boys struggled for years to pay the Markles the back rent and coal bill she owed them were the prin- cipal features of today's sessions of the coal strike commission. The tes- timony as presented by some of the witnesses whose lives were given up to the coal mining industry was at times pathetic and surprising to the commits sioners who listened to it with undivid- ed attention.
 The miners this afternoon concluded calling witnesses against the Markle company which concern, and the condi- tions surrounding it have been promi- nently before the commissioners since last Saturday. In the absence of Sam Dickson of Philadelphia and G. R. Bedford, of Wilkesbarre, attorneys for the Markle company, who are report cd to be unavOidably absent. only a perfunctory cross examination has been carried on by J. M Torrey of Scranton, who is representing another company before the commission anG who has been asked to take care of the interests of Markle & Co.,. the best he could.
 Much surprise has been expresse1 that the company has not made greater efforts to refute some of the seemingly damaging testimony that has been pre- sented. It is expected, however, that the company will do so later At torneys for the large coal companies have nothing to say regarding the character of testimony being presented, but those representing the miners are well pleased. One of the latter. speaking of today's proceedings said:
 The independent operators in their meeting with the big companies iu New York two weeks ago when they succeeded in blocking the proposed set tlCment said the whole matter should go before the commission so that the country at large would know who was right and thus vindicate the coal com panies. We are willing to go ahead with the proceedings if they are satis- fled with the vindication they are now getting"
 After closing the Markle case the representatives of the miners called witnesses who had formerly been em. ployed in the mines of the several companies to show that a blacklist existed and some companies had broken the agreement which ended the strike and resulted in the appointment of an arbitration commission.

letter that it will fall flat as a sensa- tion when it :s read in the senate. It is understood that the letter, or what purported to be copies of it. was for warded to prominent republican sena- tors during the campaign, with com plaints that the republicans of Arizona were laboring under heavy handicap in trying to win a victory against the advice to the voters from a republican as popular as Senator Quay. And al- though the complaining letters were from ardent advocates of the omnibus bill, the senators who are resorting to every method to defeat Quay in this fight care nothing about the source from which the ammunition comes.
 The consensus of opinion of the press correspondents is that the bill will pass substantially as it came from the house, unless the opponents of the measure gain unexpected recruits from the ranks of the bills friends. It has been remarked by several that the di vision in the republican ranks on the statehood bill is following in a general way the cleavage made by the contro- versy over Cuban reciprocity, but this is not accurate. It is true that several senators who arc opposed to reciprocity arc supporting the omnibus bill, but on the other hand some of the bills most bitter opponents, like Senator Bard, are also opposed to the presi dents reciprocity programme. The effort has failed therefore, to prejudice the mind of President Roosevelt in this particular. He was quick to see that the attempt to link the statehood bill and opposition to reciprocity in his minG was a trick.
 Senators say that Mir. Roosevelt is trying to steer a clear course in the statehood fight. He greatly regrets the bitter stage which the controversy has reached already, and for the good of the party he wishes to hold aloof so far as possible. But it Is said on what has been good authority hCreto- fore, that if the opponents of the bill try much harder to force the hand of the president he will come out boldly for the omnibus bill

CASTRO
 NEVER SAW THE BILL
Why the Angio-Germau Claims Were
 Not Paid.

Caracas, Venezuela, December D. President Castro received the corres- pondent of the Associated Press at Mira Flores palace today. In reply to questions the president of Venezuela said:
 "The Venezuelan government has not received any ultimatum properly speaking, but rather simultaneous re- quests from Great Britain and Ger many. The claims of Great Britain asks this government to settle are small and up to the present time we have not been aware of them. Never having been presented, Venezuela has consequently never refused to settle them. Great Britain's action, there fore, is without Justification"
 The president was asked what re- ply the governmbent would make ta the requests handed it by Germany and Great Britain.
 He replied after rehecting: "Thc Venezuelan government is astonished that after the notes which were trans mitted to it by diplomatic representa- tives of Germany and Great Britain that these envoys should leave Cara cas without awaiting the reply of the Venezuelan government"
 Questioned as to what course he in- tended to pursue should the powers de- clare a blockade the president excused himself from answering.

AMERICAN PIRATE
 IN CAVITE BAY
The Leader of a Band of Filipino
 Desperadoes.

Victoria, B. C., December 9.-The steamer Shawmut from Manila brought news of piracy/on the Philippine coast the desperadoes being led by an Ameri- can. The brig Maricia, bound from Catanauan, Yayabas, for Manila, had beaten up the coast and the boat was becalmed off Cavite bay She had as passengers five Chinese merchants, who were on their way to Mayala to purchase goods. During the night a sloop came alongside and six men climbed over the rail and immediately overpowered the captain and crew, binding all hands with ropes.
 One Of these men was an American dressed in the garb of an inspector of constabulary. Two of his followers were also in constabulary uniforms and carried revOlvers as did the American. The remaining three were Filipinos armed with bolos. Upon the pirates reaching the deck of the Maricia the leader claimed that he was a board of health inspector and intended to search the vessel for arms and am munition. Instead of doing this. after the crew had been overpowered the Chinese were brought forth and at the point of drawn revolvers made to give over their money, about $17, ,OOO
 Obtaining this the pirates embarked Tn their boat again and heading tow ards Cavite threatened to kill all hands on the brig if they did not keep quiet. When the vessel arrived at Manila the customs authorities were informed but no clue was found to the robbers.

Washington, December 9. (SpcciaD- There were no developments of great importance in the statehood fight to- day, and there is still variety of opinions as to when the vote will be reached. It became known to cer- tainty to-day that while Senator Bev eridge's report deals out both comph ments and criticisms so far as Arizona is concerned, the document deals most harshly with New Mexico in several particulars. It is evident that the main reliance of the opponents of the bill will be on Senator Beveridge's re- port of conditions in New Mxico, and that territory will have to stand the brunt of the attack. So generally was the fact circulated that the committee found much more to admire in Arizona than in New Mexico, that a few sena tors were heard to say that their op position was founded altogether on the unfitness of the latter territory, and the opinion was expressed that Arizona would have stood a better show had her fortunes not been joined with those of her sister territory. The friends of the bill ridicule these statements and say that such expressions do not come from any but enemies of statehood for either territory.
 Senator Quay has refused to be bluff cd by threats of his opponents to make public the celebrated Quay let ter" to republicans in Arizona, !n which he advised the election of a democratic delegate, and he says that they may read the letter. in open sen ate, as often as they choose. So far, nobody has been able to quote the letter in terms, although nearly all the correspondents for the leading news papers of the country have been re- quested by their manag ging editors to obtain a copy, and special endeavors have been made to ascertain the exact wording. From a source close to Senator Quay it has been learned that the letter was very brief, and stated in substance that it was his judgment that the omnibus bill would be defeated by depocratic votes should Arizona elect a republican delegate. There has been so much discussion of the

EASTERN WINTER
 COLDEST IN YEARS
Scarcity of Coal Adds to the Suffering
 Among the Poor.

New York, December 9.-New York and New England have experienced during the past twenty-four hours the coldest weather for many years. In this city il was the coldest December month in twenty-siX years, the ther- mometer registering as it did in that year, eight above zero. The severity Of the cold was intensified by the fact that people were not prepared for it.. the cold wave having descended upon the country suddenly and without warning. Then, too, the scarcity of coal caused much suffering among the poorer classes. Every effort is being put forth to alleviate the suffering, charitable organizations having taken steps to supply the poor and the board Of aldermen having voted S1O0.000 to help along the good cause During the day the rivers were covered with a heavy mist, showing the great differ ence between the temperature of the air and the water.
 The cold in the city was mild com pared with that prevailing in the northern sections of the state and in New England. At Albany the mercury fell to 10 below zero and in some near by districts it went down to twenty. The river is frozen over at Albany, putting and end to navigation. Balls ton reported S2 below. the lowest regis tration since 1861 and Saratoga felt the grasp of weather 30 below In the Adirondack region and along the Champlain valley the thermometer registered between IT and 26 below.
 Throughout Maine and Connecticut the thermometer registered from eight to twenty below, a fall in some places of forty degrees in twelve hours. Nor folk, Conn. reported a temperature of twenty-three degrees below zero, the coldest in years.
