SPECIAL GRAND JURY TO MEET
AT CHICAGO.

Attorney General HamIn of Illinois
Will Conduct Thorough Inquiry as
Result of Representations OF State
Manufacturers Association-Se-
lieVes There Was a CabaI.

Springfield Jan. 1O.-At 4 o'clock
this afternoon a special grand jury
Will meet in Chicago to investigate
the alleged conspiracy between the
coal operators, railroads and dealers
to increase the price of coal on the
Chicago market Attorney General
Hamlin left last night for Chicago,
and will lead the investigation. He
took with him evidence which he
claims will show that d conspiracy
exists and before his return to Spring
field the whole matter will be thor
oughly Investigated.
This is the result of the represen-
tations of the committee of the Hi
nOis Manufacturers association to
States Attorney Deneen, who after
ward had conference with the At
tOrney general.
The attorney general secured the
services of competent men, who visit
ed the mines and the reports which
they made were favorable and even
went so far as to convince Judge
Hamlin that the market was being con-
trOlled by certain dealers and operat-
ors. He says the evidence to be pre-
scented to the Cook county grand Jury
will be surprising. However, he de-
clines to make public the character
of the evidence with which he has
been furnished, nor does he state that
any railroads are interested in the
alleged combine.

Washington, Jan. S.-The senate
requesting the finance committee to
report the bill removing the duty on
anthracite coal, and Senator Aldrich
replied to Senator Vest. Senator
AldTich insisted that the resolution
would not accomplish the result
sought and that it infringed on the
constitutional rights of the house in
respect to revenue bills. Senator Aid
rich said democratic senate voted
to put duty of 40 cents on coal in
1894 and that they favored free coal
except on the day when they could
have voted free coal into the tariff
bill. Senator Vest in reply said 40
cent duty on coal was the result of a
"hold-up" by q few democratic sena-
tors. No action was taken. Senator
Nelson continued his remarks against
the omnibus statehood bill.
The house passed the Philippine
constabulary bill as it was reported
from the committee, except for an
amendment limiting the number of

lively
Washington, Jan. 9.-In the house
Mr.. Russell of Texas made a vigorous
protest against haste and the general
lack of deliberation with which pri-
vate pension bills are passed. Since
the civil war he said 10000 private
bills have been passed, over one
tenth of them during the first session
of this congress. He thought the pen
sion bureau should be allowed to ad-
minister the pension laws and that ia
voritism by congress should cease.
Replying Mr.. Lacey Of Iowa called at
tention to the fact of the cases
in which the general pension laws
could not give relief. The fact that
only 10000 bills had been passed in
forty years he thought sufficient proof
Of the care and discrimination which
had been exercised by congress.
