Philadelphia, Oct 21.-Throughout the
entire anthracite coal region the in
formation that the mine workers con-
vention at Wilkesbarre had declared the
strike at an end was received with re-
joicing. In many sections enthusiastic
demonstrations followed the welcome
announcement, while at other points the
news was received with quiet satisfac
ton. Scarcely a dissenting voice was
raised amid the general jubilation.
The greatest excitement was displayed
in the Schuylkill region. At Shenandoah
and Mahanoy Cityfi where many of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and iron
Company's mines are located, the resi-
dents appeared on the streets en- masse
cheering for John Mitchell and shouting
and singing in a delirium of delight.
Similar scenes were enacted in most of
the smaller towns, patches and villages.
In many sections the men whose duties
it is to prepare the mines for the miners
and laborers reported at the colIieries

dress tonight on the opportunity for
mission work among the races of the
world. He made special reference to the
iusular possession of the United States

their coming into our possession, and the
onlv thing for the United States and the

tianize the people.
Bishop Fowler also referred to China

Christian work The Chinese, he said,
are a people who looked upon the Ameri-

troll the traffic management of an English
line than the American firm. Sir Clinton
Dawkins, a partner in the house of J. S.
Morgan e Company, through whom the
negotiations were conducted, refused to
agree to this. and the United officials
than demanded control of the arrange
ments of their own section of the line,
which was also denied in a way. it is

the prosecution.
Harry Cornish concluded his testi-
mony. Mr.. Osborne presented to the
witness number of letters and papers.
Cornish said he wrote none of them. The
defense objected to each as it was Of

Justice Lambert ruled that Mr.. Os
borne was within his rights, but that
the letters must not be described 10 the
jury nor admitted as evidence until the
Assistant District Attorney had proved
them competent.
WHO wrote that?" Mr.. Osborne asked
the witness as he looked at each paper,
and Cornish replied, 'NIolineux."
Patrick J. Finneman said he saw Cor
n!sh open the poison package and throw
the wrapper into a waste basket After
Cornish had remarked on the popularity
of anyone sending him a package
anonymously, Finneman picked the wrap
per out of the basket and told Cornish
if he kept the wrapper he might, some
day find the donor by his hand writing.

the club to attend Cornish said he found
Cornish suffering from mercurial poison

HILL Is CROss.IXAMINED
Solicitor General Richards Pumps the Rail-
roader q bout Rates and Joint Bates
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
ST. Paul. Mimi, Oct. 21.-In the hearing
in the suit of the United States against
the so-called railway merger, Solicitor
General Richards today resumed the cross
examination of President ]. j. HILL of
the Northern Securities and Great North
ern Railway companies, asking in regard
to Mr.. Hills statement that one reason
for organizing the holding company was
to prevent danger of raids on stock Mr..
Hill explained that stock held by hold
ing company would be less on the market.
How does it come about that the
Union Pacific holds about eight millions
of the Northern Securities Company"
THAT is a matter that does not con-
Germ us, but it does concern you"
Pressing the same line of questions,
Mr.. Richards was told that Mr.. Hartman
or anyone else who wished might buy
Northern Securities stock.
1--WE have tried he said, ito make it
as difficult as we could fairly for such
raids to prove successful.
The next line of questions pertaned to
the matter of rates and Joint rates. and
was gone into considerably in detail Mr.
Hill insisted in answer to questions that
certain suggested rates could not be
considered AID so far as he knew never
were considered. because they were I'M
lawful. Mr.. Hill said his coal rates had
for several years. been lower than those
of the Reading or the Lackawanna rail
roads, and Mr.. Day said he believed there
had been some complaint to that effect
in the East, whereuDon Mr.. Hill sug-
gested:
Il have for a long time wondered why
the gentlemen in charge of looking after
such matters have not taken some ac-
ton in regard to it"
He said he had made no attempt to
influence rates on the Burlington. The
acquisition of the Burlington had not
diverted traffic from other lines to the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern, but
had actually created new traffic for them.
The effect. if the Burlington had become
the property of the Union Pacific, would
have been so severe on the Great North
ern that we would have recommended a
sale al once. 1t would have absolutely
prevented the getting of business in the
Middle West. 1t was necessary to reach
that section, and the Burlington was the
best means of reaching it.
Mr.. Hill was excused and the hearing
adjourned until tomorrow.
