MITCHELL CROSSEXAMNED'
NE PUT UP A SERIES OF BRIL-.
LIANT REPLIES,
The Court Room Was Crowded to
Hear Attorney MacVeagh for the
Erie Company Attack President
Mitchell and Union Prnclples-A
Fine Witness, Says the Attorney

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 1S.-In the pres.
ence of as many persons as could be
damned into the superior courtroom
Monday Wayne MacVeagh for the Erie
company, and John Mitchell, for the
miners, continued their brilliant cross
examination before the anthracite coal
commission. The two men, the one in
his thirties and the other in his seven.
ties, were followed with intense inter.
est by both the commissioners and the
crowd throughout the day.
The fourth demand of the union.
which calls for yearly trade agree.
ment and which means straightout
recognition of the union, was the bone
of contention, and although several
hours were taken up in a discussion of
the question, not much material pro
gress was made. Wayne MacVeagh,
skilled in the art of cross-examination
attempted to show the utter irrespon-
sibility of the union and it's unfitness
to make contracts which it could not
live up to. His principal argument
was the alleged boycott, and he often
hard pressed the miners president for
an answer. The latter, however, slow
ly and deliberately gave some reply,
but it did not always satisfy his in
quisitor.
Mr.. MacVeagh, in the presence of
the assemblage, expressed his admira-
ton of the ability of the witness, and
on one occasion, when Mr. Mitchell
parted a question regarding the boy.

by hotelkeeper, the distinguished at.
torney threw up his hands, laughed
and said: Mr.. Mitchell you are the
best witness for yourself | ever con,
fronted."
Mr.. MacVeagh weighed heavily on
what he said was reign of terror in
the anthracite region during the period
Of the strike. He read a list of II
names of men who were killed during
that time and also submitted in evi
dence about rs printed pages of acts
of alleged violence, boycott and intimi
dation, and. with the assistance of sta
tistics and other documents, main
tanned that IT would be utterly imprac
ticable to enter into agreements with
an organization that can not contro
its own men.
Mr.. Mitchell stoutly maintained tina
the discipline in the organization is al

GAMBLING DEN WAS HELD UP
TWO BANDITS THE TRICK NEAR
MINNEAPOLIS.
They Secured $1943 From a Score of
Players and Proprietors - Harvey
Howard, the Negro Porter, was Shot
by One of the Robbers-Robbed the
Saloon Also-8acked Out of the
Place and Escaped.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 22-Two
bandits held up a gambling den at Co
lumbia Heights and secured $19l3
from the score of players and the pro-
prietors. Harvey Howard, negro
porter, was shot by the robbers.
The gambling house, which is oper-
ated by a syndicate of sporting men,
is at the end of a trolley line lead
ing from Minneapolis. Each robber
used a dark handkerchief to shield
the lower part of his countenance.
There are two entrances to the place
and the bandits appearing simultane-
ously at either door, ordered the in
mates to hold up their hands. The
score of players and attendants were
then aligned on one side of the room
and while the bandit leader kept them
covered with his revolver his assist
ant rifled pockets and tills.
First David Price, the maneger. was
searched. He was relieved of his re-
volver, which was thrown out of a.
window. Then $165 was extracted from
his pockets. Ingram Flick, the treas
urer of the resort, yielded $1608. Half
dozen patrons of the place were re-
lieved of sums ranging from $40 to $40.
Harvey Howard, the colored porter.
aroused from a nap by the shots,
bounded into the room to learn the
cause of the commotion and then
bounded out, but two bullets. one in
each leg, tumbled him into the street,
where he lay for half an hour before
some of the robbed men found him.
While the leader held the gamblers
with his gun the second robber went
into the" saloon in front of the gamb-
ling room and secured $50 from the
cash drawer The bandits backed out
of the place, keeping the crowd cover
ed with their revolvers until they
themselves had disappeared in the
darkness.

DECISION FHVORS GERMANY
SAMOAN CASE HAS BEEN DE.
ClDED BY KING OSCAR II.
He Acted as Arbitrator Between Ger
many England and United States
Last Two Named Were Demanding
Damages on Account of Losses
Every Point in Favor of Germany.

Washington, Nov. 19.-By previous
arrangement between the principals,
there has been published simultan-
eously in Washington, London and
Berlin the full text of the decision
given by his majesty, King Oscar H..
OF Sweden, as arbitrator between the
three countries named, of certain
claims growing out of military opera
lions conducted = Samoa in the year
1899. The decision is long and
abounds in whereases and conclusions
and in substance it has been an
nounced heretofore in the cable dis
patches from Stockholm. The preced-
ing publication, however, did not con-
vey to the officials here a full realiza-
ton of the complete victory won by
Germany in this arbitration, for it
appears that on every single point the
arbitrator adopted the most extreme
German view in opposition to Great
Britain and the United States.
The arbitration grows out of claims
of British SUBJECTS and American citi-
zens for compensation on account of
losses they alleged they had suffered
in consequence of unwarranteG mill
tary action on the part of German,
British or American officers in Samoa,
between the first of January, 1899, and
the 18th of May following. The ques-
ton really at issue was whether or
not the British and United States gov
ernmeuts should be considered respon-
sible for the losses.
The arbitrator recited that the Unit
ed States ship Philadelphia and the
British steamers Porpoise and Royal
list on March Is, 1899, opened fire
across the town of Apia Samoa, direct
ing the same against the forces of
High Chief Mataafa; that the same
vessels brought the ne ~ly appointed
king of Samoa, Manetoa, and his
forces to Mulinuu point and supplied
them with arms and ammunition for
the ensuing struggle against Mataafa.

I believe they all consider Shakes
