Miners Again Put Operators in
Bad Light.

Scranton, Pa. Dec. 1.-THE miners today
put on the witness stand before the coal
strike commission the fathers of two Of
the little girls who had testified on Mon
day that they worked all night in the silk
mills
The operators yesterday submitted wage
statements showing that one of these men
and his laborer received 81 6S1, and the
other and his laborer were paid 81 400 last
year John Demko, father of one of me
girls, said that four and sometimes six
The other man claimed that four men di-
vided the 81 6S1.
Everett Warren. one of the operators at
torneys, on cross-examination, tried to
show that this was not the Gaze Both
men promised to take the girls cut of the
silk mill.
After the witnesses left the stand Chair
man Gray asked for an explanation from
the Pennsylvania Coal company. which is
controlled by the Erie road, regarding the
wages of men. The wage schedule mem
toned by the company was handed to the
commission some days ago and did not in
dicate that more than two persons figured
in the distribution.
w A May, general manager Of the
Pennsylvania Coal company. was called to
the witness stand and explained that be-
cause of the system in vogue in the COM
pany's mine it would be difficult to show
in every case how many men shared in
one pay.
c. s. Darrow, for the miners, said the
miners had no confidence in the figures
submitted by the company and added that
the way they were handed in was unfair.

question was before the legislature OF
Kansas, and years ago he made speeches
against it. The senator says that lately
he has been re-reading his old speeches,
and that he Is surprised at the weakness
of the arguments which he advanced at
that time He declares that there is not
one of them which he is not able to shoot
full of holes, and he announces fat foot
edly that if the proposition to submit a
constitutional amendment comes before
the Kansas legislature at the approach

Representative Scott is doing his work
this session in the obscurity of the rooms
of the committee on agriculture. He has
found plenty of work to do there, how
ever, as the committee has been busily
engaged since the opening day of the
session Mr.. Scott was made member
of the Subcommittee to report the agri-
cultural appropriation BILL and this sub
committee has been meeting every day,
holding its session from ten o'clock in
the morning until four o'clock in the af-
ternoon, almost without interruption. In
addition to his duties as a member of
this subcommittee, Mr.. Scott was made
member of the. sub committee to draw
up a bill, making an appropriation for
the stamping out of the foot and mouth

THEY MEET GOODNOW.
Rock Island Officials Discuss
Freight Congestion.

A meeting of the division superintend
ents and foremen of bridges and build
ings of the lines west of the Missouri
river was held at the Rock Island of
fees this afternoon. This meeting was
a special one and was called by General
Manager c. A. Goodnow, who arrived
this afternoon on No. IL in his special
car. Thc meeting was to have been held
earlier, but on account of No. IL being
four hours late it was postponed.
Ii is probable that questions were dis
cussed that were a great deal more i'm
portant than those that were made pub
lie, but the main reason for the meeting
was to get together and talk over mat
ters which can be discussed a great deal
better through conversation than
through the mails and telegraph wires.
Another reason for the meeting was
to find out the condition of the bridges
and buildings on the system and to
make arrangements for repairs. Owing
to the congested condition of freight
traffic on the Rock Island at all stations
and especially at terminal points it is
almost impossible to run passenger
trains according to the schedules and
the snuperintendents were undoubtedly
called together to discuss and decide
upon some plan by which this conges-
ton may be relieved

Went TO SMASH,
Attempt to Bull the Corn Mar
ket Fails.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE attempted cor
ner OF the December corn market un-
der the leadership of the St Louis
blind pool went to smash when the
price of that commodity made drop
of over 5. The opening was u to 1c
lower than yesterdays close the first
sales being made at 52&zc and on heavy
liquidation with no support to speak OF
it gradually declined, with now and
then a slight rally until 47Ac was reach
ed. The interest of the majority of
traders was centered in corn and con-
siderable excitement reigned. AS a re-
suit of the bad break the interests that
have been operating on the board for
the St Louis clique were unable to put
up margins fast enough and were sold
out in order to even their accounts. In
spite of the extreme weakness in the
Decen Der. option May was steady and
held it's own remarkably well through
out the day. 1t is not known how much
corn the st. Louis people held but they
have been active the buying side for
simetimes past and their original hold
ings are supposed to have been any
where from to 10 million bushels
Weakness prevailed in December un-
til the close which was SIC lower at
4711c Final figures on May were a
shade higher at 1890.

venezuelan ports can not be recogniz-
ed, as against United States shipping at
least. If the allies seek to exclude
Venezuela shipping from entry to Vene-
zuelan ports that might be permitted,
but they cannot exclude United States
ships in regular business unless a gen
uine state of war is recognized. Regar5-
less of the merits of the present contro-
Versy the state department feels that
the vast interests of the American trade
demands that this rule be adopted and
adhered to else American trade might
be crippled at the will of any naval
power that sought to resort to the an
omalous peaceful blockade" If Great
Britain and Germany wish to exclude
american merchantmen from Venezue-
Ian ports they must exclude shipping
can only be met by recognizing the ex-
istence of a state of war and the dis
missal of the present fiction.
Senior Ojeda, the Spanish minister and
Baron Moncheur, the Belgian minister
nave not received official advices rela-
tive to the joint note their governments
have addressed to President Castro, ask
ing that in the event of a settlement of
the claims of the allied powers, Spain
and Belgium be given similar treatment.
Ihe Spanish minister denies that there
is the slightest probability of further
action on the part of Spain unless
events in Caracas make it necessary for
the Spanish representative to withdraw.
Minister Ojeda does not anticipate this,
! in view of the strong ties of friendship,
that exist between his government and
the South American republics Baron
Moncheur regards the position of his
country as thus far neutral but in case
circumstances change this attitude it is
likely that Minister Bowen will be re-
quested to look after Belgian interests
in the Venezuelan capital Belgium
having no navy it will not be posi- BILE
for that country to join in the naval
demonstration of the. allied fleet.
The only cablegram received at the
state department from Minister Bowen
over night was the announcement that
the Italian minister at Caracas had re-
quested him to take charge of italian
interests in Venezuela, which under the
state departments instruction he was
about to do and the minister was leav-
ing Caracas This cablegram was sent
from Caracas last night
Mr. Bowen's position is realized to be
one of extraordinary difficulty. He Is
now in charge of interests of Great Brit
ain, Germany, Italy and Holland. beside
those of the United States and may be
called upon to take charge of those of
the remainder of the European countries
with the possible exception of France
which remains on pleasant relations
with Venezuela.

A POINT FOR TELLER.
Colorado Court of Appeals Re-
fuses to Interfere With Count.

Denver. Colo. Dec. 1.-THE court of
appeals today dismissed the writ of
mandamus granted by District judge
Palmer requiring the state board OF
canvassers to certify the election of Z.
A Cooper, Republican, instead of j. T.
Whitelaw, Democrat. as representative
from San. Juan county, holding that the
courts had no right to interfere thus
with executive officers in the perform
ance of their duties. This decision has
an important bearing on the election of
United States senator. as it leaves the
state board of canvaSSers at liberty to
seat two Democrats whose seats had
been contested. If certificates are given
to both Democrats, the house viii con
sist of 33 Republicans and 80 Democrats.
and the Democrats are hopeful that with
a majority of only one the Republicans
will be thwarted in their attempt to un
seat the Democratic members from
Arapahoe county and thus secure ma
jority on joint ballot.

any kind would be taken by him, but

complisn by his trip His decision to go
