The witness declared, in response to
questions. that a, 6iner's occupation is
more risky than in any other industry.
There were more deaths in the mines
than on the railroads, but fewer acct
dents.
Have you noticed the effect of sa-
looms on miners?" was the newt ques-
ton.
THE number of saloons in SchuIkiIl
county have decreased" was the reply,
land the concensus of opinion is that
it is due largely to the miners union. 4"
He said that the social worth and man
illness and individuality Of the SIav had
been greatly increased through the
miners union
DO you know what was the result
of the strike of 1902
1T decidedly improved conditions by
giving 10 per cent advance"
With the view of testing the witness
knowledge of the subjects about which
he was testifying, Mr. Wolverton, on
cross-eXamination inquired what pro-
portion was largely gathered by inquiry
and observation and not from actual
experience.
The witness answered that on the
economic side of the question it would
be by investigation and from the public
reports of the state. On the sociological
side it would be from personal investi-
cation. He admitted that the Informal
ton he had collected was largely for
use in preparing his book.
On a further SS-eXaminatiOn Mr..
Roberts said of the 147, 600 miners en-
ployed in the anthracite field 9S. 900
worked underground. He admitted that
in some instances, on account of i'm
purities, the measurement of coal by
weight would be impracticable.
Under the conditions you have ex-
planned" Mr.. Wolverton asked, could
there be any uniform standard of
wages, applying to the whole coal re-
gions or to one colliery, that would do
Justice to the employe and employer
The witness replied that he did not
know whether that could be done, but
said that where work is the same or
nearly so there was no reason why
wages should be different
At this point the commission adj
JOurned until tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock.

gorge was so deep and the current so
swift that we could not get the horses
across, and we were obliged TO go
across the stream sitting in rope
sling suspended from a rope that had
been stretched across the tops of the
high bands. At Retalhuleu we got a
train that carried US to the seaport
There. were robbers all along the
road, but we We're well known in the
district and we took good care not to
give them a chance, and we were not
molested. Food in the district of our
ruined plantation was scarce and We
saw hundreds of natives along the
trails wandering aimlessly about with
out food or shelter and almost on the
verge of starvation.
Complete Destruction.
."At Champerico while waiting for
the boat. we met several of the plant
ers from the vicinity of Costa Cuca,
Palma, Reforma, KolhuitZ, where the
destruction was much more severe
than on the side of the mountain from
where our plantation is situated. They
said that the destruction TO the prop
erty there was complete, and that from
5000 to 1900 of the natives and en-
ployes of the planters had persisted
One OF. those refugees from the ruined
district said that on his way out over
he counted seventy natives lying half
buried under stones and ashes from
the volcano. and every one of them
was LYING beside a pack of his house
hold goods. They had tried to escape
from the fury of the mountain when
it first broke. The country about these
ruined plantations was thickly settled
and in some of the more densely popu-
lated districts there were villages in
which thousands of natives lived. Most
of these villages are covered with
stones and ashes to a depth of from
five to seven feet. The frail houses
were-unabIe to stand the terrible down
pour Of the volcanic debris and the
people beneath the roofs were buried
after being stunned by the awful hail
of stones.
Many refugees who were fleeing
from the scene Of destruction have been
killed by the bands of robbers who now
infest every trail. Men who had
reached the seaport from the district
about the base of the mountain said
they had passed numerous corpseS on
the roads that had been the victims of
these murderous bands OF robbers.
Those who have been murdered were
those who were fleeing from the ruined
district with what provisions and: lit
tie money they had saved from the
deluge of ashes and stones, and were
seeking places of safety. The food
they carried is what particularly in
cited the cupidity of the robber bands.
THE houses that had been deserted
at the first outbreak of the volcano
and to which the owners had a few
days later returned to, were found to
have been looted by the robbers. Ev-
erything that was of value was carried
away, and in some cases articles that
could not be carried away were de-
stroyed."

Smoke and Fire.

"a great column of smoke and fire
rose, seemingly from the peak of Santa
Maria. That was on the night Of
oct. "A about D. m. All that night
the earth shook in almost constant
vibration and the next morning the
sky was envelOped in a thick cloud
of smoke.
ASHES much like coarse sand fell
in a heavy shower. That continued
for several hours, and then the ashes

clouds OF light dust. Breathing was

The PIONEER has no heart to
abuse J. r. Jacobson Of Lac-qui-
parle county, simply because he
made an assault upon State Aud
itor Dunn in his discussion of
the tonnage tax. "Jale" is not
a demagogue, he does not con-
slider himself the only honest
man in the house Of representa-
tives, but he is thoroughly
good fellow, and bysheerstrength
of debating capacity has been
able for the last six or eight
years to lead every house OF rep
resentatives which has been ell
ected. No dishonest man could
do that. Besides, Bob Dunn
was amply able to take care OF
himself, and did SO when he got
up before the state senate. Ja-
cobson's raillery at Dunn has
made the latter the inevitable
nominee of the next republican
state convention for governor of
Minnesota.

The Beers have captured Gen
.eral Lord Methuen, one OF Eng
land s celebrated cavalry gener-
ais, with his troop and four or
five big guns. This is the most
important capture made by the
Beers during the South African
war, and reveals that the be-
nighted people are still able to
get together under the command
of a competent general, a com
mand OF 1,50O sharp fighters.
The unfortunate predicament
for the Beers is that they are
unable to retain any number OF
their prisoners, and even il the
case Of a general like Methuen,
cannot hope to accomplish any
thing serious by his capture.
They have neither prisons nor a
naval force, and if they succeed
in exchanging Methuen for an
imprisoned Boer general, the lat
ter can be OF no value to them ex-
cest as an agitator in Europe or

less, the capture was so import.
