The ReopenIna OF the Case.

New York, June 9.-The interstate COM
merce commission has again taken up the
investigation into the complaint Of w. r.
Hearst that the coal carrying railroads
have violated and are violating the anti
pooling section Of the Sherman antitrust
law.
Robert M. Olyphant, former president Of
the Delaware & Hudson, one Of the re-
spondent railroads, corroborated the state
ments Of the other coal men that the price
Of coal is to be raised 10 cents a ton a
month until maximum increase of SO
cents a ton is reached.
Olyphant said he doubted II his company
made any money when coal was selling In
New York at $40 or less. For the last ten
years the profits Of the company have been
about Z per cent. His company increased
the price, he said, because extgencies Of
the trade justified the demand.
1--WE could get 9. higher price If we
asked it, he said.
After a long argument the commission
ruled In favor Of Mr.. Shearn's contracts
that the coal purchase contracts are adj
Missile as evidence. The commission de-
cided that the only point before the Unit
ed States circuit court Is, can witnesses
be compelled to submit their contracts to
the commission?
Mr.. Shearn then read from the contract
between X & j. y. Jermyn and the Sus-
Quendnna SOa1 company siiidAS III IVY. -
1900 BY that contract the Jermyns
agreed to sell the entire products Of their
mines to the company at prices ranging
| from so per cent Of the tidewater price
realized for stove and chestnut coal. "A ton
Of coal means 2,24o pounds, and an allow
ance Of per cent Is made by the seller
for wastage A clause says ifsthe price at
| tidewater shall be less than 1880 per ton
/ for sizes greater than pea coal, the mine

Mr.. Chaplain's amendment for full dis.
cussion of the fiscal policy suggested by
Mr.. Chamberlain, the colonial secretary,
not for present but for future adoption.
The speaker replied that he had very care
fully considered the matter and had ar
rived at the conclusion that it was not
relevant to the budget BILL as the ques-
ton of preferential tariff rates between
Great Britain and her colonies was not
raised in the bill. The scope of the de-
bate was thus largely curtailed at the
outset.
Mr.. Richie having formally moved the
second reading of the budget bill, Mr..
Chaplain, the protectionist, who was re-
ceived with cheers, arose to move his
amendment, and proceeded warmly to at
tack the chancellor of the exchequer, to
whose tnaptitude he said they owed their
present remarkable position. In repeal
ing the grain duty, Mr.. Chaplain said, Mr..
Richie had made an rretrievable mis-
take and had precipitated a movement for
which neither his party nor the country
were prepared. Fer a moment he ap-
peared to have prevailed over Mr.. Cham
berlain, but his triumph would be Short
| lived. Mr.. Chaplain blamed the govern
ment for yielding to Mr.. Richie, saying
| the ministers had thrown away weapon
which would have helped them to carry out
the new fiscal policy to which Mr.. Balfour
and Mr.. Chamberlain were committed.
| MI. Chapln referred TO the eACrdOI
binary position in which the followers Of
the government ha been placed by the
| indecision of the ministers. 1t was use
less to seek guidance or leadership from
them He concluded with formally NOV
! ing his amendment, on which, he said, he
| meant to divide the house.
| The motion was seconded and Sir
Michael Hicks Beach followed. He said
that his view Of the general fiscal and po-
litical situation was quite different from
| the view held by Mr.. Chaplin He added
| that his colleagues were perfectly aware
that the grain duties were unpopular
when he had inaugurated them, but the
plan had been success and he had heard
the proposal to repeal the duty with sur
\ prise and regret. He considered that the
: duty was necessary because of the
! growth of expenditures against which he
4 had protested. Had his protests been re-
4 ceived with greater snln1pathS by htz col !
q leagues he would not now be speaking
i from bench above the gangway. It was
impossible for a chancellor of the ex-
i, chequer to reduce expenditures without
the party and the continuous support of
the premier.

THOMAS WHITE BREAKING
But Curtis Jett as Confident as Ever
Court Reconvenes at
Jackson.

jackson, KY, June Sit was quiet here
last night and court convened this morn
ing without special incident. The in
creased guards still continue at the homes
Of B. L. Ewen Mrs. Marcum and Mrs.
Patrick.
The two prisoners presented quite diff
ferent appearances this morning. Curtis
Jet was as confident as ever. Thomas
White, altho allowed to sleep with Jett
in the same cell, wept in the night and
was respondent to-day. There is much
solicitude over the condition of White.
The failure Of Ellison Jones to get back
from Magoffln county whittier he went to
summon veniremen, caused a postpone
ment Of the trial Of Jett and White until
2:3O o'clock this afternoon. John Hos
kins, one Of the veniremen, was excused
from duty as a juror. He said he was
sick as a aresult Of being exposed to
smallpox and feared he was taking the
disease. The prosecution looks upon this
as a part Of a plan to delay the trial.

London, June 9.-The approach Of the
first serious parliamentary brush in the
free trade protection fight filed every seat
in the house of commons this afternoon.
Before facing the situation which must
largely place them at the mercy of the
liberal and Irish votes, the members of
the government attended an important
cabinet meeting, at which all the ministers
were present except Gerald Balfour, presi-
dent of the board Of trade, who was ILL.,
Henry Chaplain, M. p, former president
of the board of agriculture, and the NAL
content unionists were actively. engaged
early in the day in and around Westmin-
ster in rallying the supporters of Mr.. Chap
lain's amendment to the budget bill, which
declares that the removal of tax on
grain involves a. needless and injurious
disturbance of trade and a serious loss of
revenue, without substantial relief for the
consumer and that If any taxes are re-
moved, it should be those levied on tea
and other articles Of general consumption.
The Government Is Safe.
Before the debate opened, Premier Bal
four ascertained from John Redmond, the
Irish leader, that the nationalist members
of parliament would support the govern
ment as against Mr.. Chaplain.
The liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell
Zimmerman, had already announced that
his party would aASO upnOld the proposal
of Chancellor of the ENchequer Richie tc
remit the grain tax. This practically in
sured the government from possible de.
feat at the hands Of it's own supporters
The curious situation created the keenes1
interest.
Why Is McHugh In jail?
At the opening of the sitting, little
excitement was caused by John Redmond
asking that committee be appointed t.
inquire whether the arrest Of P. A. Nc
Hugh, member of parliament for Sligo, OF
Saturday last, under warrant for con
tempt Of court, was not breach of priv
lege. This the speaker refused to do, ant
William Redmond wound up the discus
sion by loudly and ironically deploring tn
fact that McHugh, who is now, in Sl1g'

ISOLATION in this city, Rev. Thomas DIX

said:
..Race prejudice is Of two kinds. One is
a mean thing. There is the prejudice
which proceeds from fear of another

is the prejudice against the Jew. 1t ex-
lists simply because the Jewish race is the
most persistent, powerful, commercially
successful race that the world has ever
nroduced. Thousands Of them have been
assimilated by America and thousands
more will be assimilated.
'.The prejudice against the negro is the
instinct of preservation. l record
here the prediction that I, as southern
man, expect to live to see the day when
the whole people Of the south will build
