If there was any intention on the part of
the La Toilette forces to oppose 7Spooner,

through at an early day. There is no
doubt that@the administration men were
taken by surprise i'm this. There 3is9no
substantial evidence, however, that there
would have been any opposition in any
event. but the stalwarts, having. control of
the caucus committee, took no chances.
The democrats also held their sena torial
caucus last evening, and despite the
fact that their candidate has no chance of
an election, they had a lively contest over
the nomination. 1t was supposed the

The UNION DOES IT.
a Foreman Who Claims That It Re-
I, stricts the Output of
Anthracite.
Others Claim That They Do Not
Mine All the Anthracite They
Are Capable Of.

Philadelphia, Jan. 15.-Chairman Gray
Of the anthracite coal commission, who
! has been absent from the hearings for
! about week on account OF illness, was
present to-day. Counsel for the Erie
company, which controls the the Hillside
Coal and Iron company. and the Pennsyl-
vania company. introduced as evidence
certain extracts from reports. of state
mine inspectors to show that most mine
accidents are due to the negligence OF
!workmen themselves.
Z Victor L. Peterson Of Scranton, super
intendent of the Hillside company, and
formerly president of the Forest City
bank. made a statement showing the de-
posts in that bank. The miners OBJ
pected to 1t because it did not specifically
show how many of the depositors were
mine workers. The commission sustained
the objection. Mr.. Peterson corrobo-
rated the testimony given yesterday that
the union miners do not load as many
cars as they did before the strike Of 1900
The witness then told of the lawlessness
in the vicinity of Forest City in the late
strike. 49,. .,-
s On the question of the union restricting
the number of cars each miner should
load the witness admitted that he did not
think the total output of the mines was
restricted. He did not know whether the
men at the present time were getting out
all the coal they possibly could. He did
know, however, that since the strike
ended. the men had been responsible for
some of the lost time.
H. C. Macmillan Of West Pittston, as
,sistant superintendent Of the Pennsylva-
mia Coal company testified that the rela-
tions between the company and the n1er
prior to the strike of 1900 were always
pleasant He also said that the men dc
not mine all the coal they are capable Of
doing. -
Theodore Hogan Of Avoca, a mine fore.
man of the Pennsylvania Coal company
said that prior to the advent Of the unior
the relations between employer and EN-.
ploye were pleasant. President Dempsey
OF the Mossic local union notified him il
. November, 1900. that the miners should
send out only certain number of car:
each day. He said Dempsey told him the
union had decided to restrict the output
3D. John T. Clark, a foreman at the Barnun
Colliery No. 8, at Hughestown, and Sew
ard Button, foreman of Avoca, corrob
Grated Hogan's testimony with referenc.
to restricting the output. Button said thu
rule, however, had been in existence sine,
:. 1895, several years previous to the adven
Of the union.

5000 A YEAR
Superintendent May Thinks This Fair
! American Living Wage.

American Living Wage.
Philadelphia, Jan. 15.-In the coal COM
mission hearing yesterday Superintendent
May submitted to a long cross examina-
ton on the amount of waste in the loaded
mine cars brought to the surface. He
ended his testimony by saying that he
thought $500 year was a fair American
living wage, and that he would like to
see all Of his men earning at least that
much
Alexander Dryden Of Dunmore, min
ing engineer, who was for many years a
mine superintendent, gave expert testi-
mony on the many improvements made in
the company's mine in the last twenty
years, and gave a history Of the fixing Of
the so-called miners ton. J ~, r.:.s
D s. J. Jennings Of Forest City, a general
foreman Of the company testified that the
occupation of q miner is healthful.s He
related instances of the inability of those
31n authority to maintain discipline about
the mines. He charged that this was due
to the union, the men feeling safe in re-
sisting authority.
Z, E. Fl. Maxey's experience was that a
young, strong man was not permitted tc
send out more coal than older or weaker
men. II he did get ten or fifteen cars
ahead Of his neighbor he had to stop un.
til the other man caught up. The presi.
dent of a local Union to whom he com.
planned said it was done so that all would
get IN an equal amount of work.

THEY WILL NOT PAY
Castro Levies a. Forced Loan on Rich
Venezuelans to Raise 100000
Bolivers.
The Blockade Causes a Great Short
age Of Provisions in Caracas
and Elsewhere.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service. "a
Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, Jan. lot is
said that the rich Venezuelans will not
pay the government forced loan OF
2,OO0 900 bolivars, which is to be levied
in sums ranging from 500 to 100000 boil
vars: Leading merchants say they know
they will be imprisoned when they de-
cline to pay the forced contribution, but
this is the treatment they expect and
they are ready to go to Jail. There are
some persons, however, who will pay their
contributions rather than be locked UP.
The government will not force foreigners
to contribute, but they have been invited
to Subscribe. One quarter of the loan is
to be subscribed immediately: The col
lection OF this loan will undoubtedly be the
beginning of serious internal trouble In
Venezuela.
The blockade of the Venezuelan ports
has caused great Shortage Of provisions.
If the blockade is not raised within five
days, advices from Caracas report, the
capital will be on the verge of starvation.
The situation in other cities in the interior
is worse than 1t is in Caracas.

SPEAKS FOR HIS PEOPLE
Characteristic Address Made to Wi
nonans by DR.. Emil G..
Hirsch.
Special to The Journal.

Winona, Mimi, JAN. 15.-Dr. Emil e.
Hirsch of Chicago spoke last night on tho
subject of Facts and Fictions Concern
ing the Jews He said that the state
ment that the Jews have remained a dis
tinct and separate people was fiction. He
asserted they were as much part OF tho
country in which they lived as any other
people resident in the same country.
He derided the belief that Shylock was
a representative Jew and traced the
origin of the story of the caskets back
into the earliest Indian history.
He denied that the common Jewish peo-
pie were responsible for the crucifxion OF
Christ, the manner Of trial and execu-
ton, he maintained, being contrary to
the code Of Jewish laws. Everything, he
said, connected with the death Of the
great teacher was Roman In practice.
He eulogized the generosity and broad
mndedness Of the United States and ap-
plauded the Jew for keeping clear Of the
political scramble that is constantly go
ing on this country.
