The Terms Settled Upon In
Summary Findings of Coal
Strike Commission
THE BOYCOTT IS CONDEMNED
Miners Not Belonging to the Union
Have tho Right to Work Without
MoIestation-Term of Verdict to Hold
Good for Three settlement Of
Wage Question.

New York. March 6.-The Herald
prints the following as the summary
findings Of the coal strike commission
which it is expected will be handed to
undoubtedly be at least per cent adj
vance in pay for mining, to take effect
from the time the miners returned to
work last October. Per diem employees
will not have their wages increased, but
will be recommended for the same pay
for day of nine hours. Wherever prac-
tical, operators will be required to pay
by weight, instead of by car, and else
where by the lineal yard. Miners will
have checking representatives at their
own expense. This will practically
amount to second increase in wages.
There will be an indirect recognition OF
the union.
The cause of the strike as found by
the commission will not be comforting
to the coal mining companies. The
boycott will be condemned, and the
principle will be laid down that a miner
has the right to work without molesta-
ton, even tho he does not belong to the
union. The terms of the verdict are to
hold good for three years.
Recommendations were made for the
settlement Of the wage and other ques-
tions at the end of that period. In local
disputes, operators will be advised to
treat with the committees of the min
sers. and there may be suggestion for
local board of arbitration.

ments on the Subject.

Fnents on the SUBJECT.
Washington, March 6.-Statements
prepared by Representative Cannon,
chairman OF the house committee. on
appropriations. and Representative
Livingston, the ranking minority mem
ber Of the committee, relative to the
appropriations made by the F'ifty-sev-
enth congress, together with compare
tive tablets, were made public today.
Mr. Cannon explains the increases in
the appropriations of the session just
ended with those of the last. In con-
cluding his statement Mr. Cannon said:
THE republican administration of
our government, the dominion of repub-
1ican politics in both branches of con-
gress since 1897 has given us a system
OF taxatio that has produced a ma
tional treasury richer than was ever
enjoyed by any nation of the earth and
rendered possible these great expendi-
lures for the public welfare"
Mr.. Livingston compares the appro-
priations made by the Fifty-third con-
gress, both branches of which We're
controlled by the democrats, amounting
to $3.50, ,239, ,2O5, with the appropriations
Of the Fifty-seventh congress, aggre-
eating 1,554,10S,514, and comments on
the difference as affecting some OF the
big items. In conclusion he says:
Nothing short of a revision of the
tariff on a revenue basis and the adj
ministration of the government under
the wise and prudent methods of the
democratic party can be looked to
bring about a reduction in the national
expenditures exhibited by these figures
In such appalling proportions.

LIGHT ON ARMY SCANDAL.
War Secretary erodrick Makes Explain
alton in Parliament.


London, March 6-The Grenadier
guards scandal was officially explained
by Secretary OF War Brodrick yesterday
i In parliament, and the responsibility
for the suspension OF Lieut.. Col. Kin
loch placed where 1t belonged. Lieut.
Col. Kirlioch had convicted himself by
his own testimony, the commander in
chief being his judge. Secretary Brod-
rfck's statement was unexpectedly
strong, and Kinloch's defenders were
temporarily silenced.
The two important facts brought out
were that the complaints presented by
Lord Belhaven and Lord de Saumarez
mad been followed by a military inquiry
and that subalterns were caned for
military offenses as we'll as matters OF
social etiquette. The subaltern court
martial was revealed as n recognized
agency OF military discipline. and sem
tences for trivial offenses were enforced
with extreme rigor. Earl Roberts ac-
ton in disciplining the commander who
failed to suppress the proceedings was
justified by the necessity of reforming
existing scandals.
Secretary Brodrick's statement was
generally commented upon in the lob
bies of the house of commons. The talk
about public school precedents has end
ed. Sensible journals are taking the
tone Of the Times and contending tha:
the country is entitled to get it's full
moneys worth in the army, and that
subalterns' courts and brutal. degrad-
ing punishments are unworthy of Brit
Ash traditions.

He declared that If the deficiency

joined in the general protest against
the speech made by Cannon Wednes-
day morning, criticising the senate
method of procedure.
The conference, he declared, had been
conducted in good temper. The senate

on the appropriation bill presented by
the house and inquire whether any item
in it was passed by the other house
in violation of its rules Neither house,

All the detail work in the purchase of

Ihibition is not likely to fnd imitation

representatives yesterday defeating the
efforts of the democrats to have the
matter resubmitted to the people.
Some time ago the majority of the

to have the minority report in favor of
adopted was begun, and
the spirited debate was continued yes

ling by 94 to 46 to sustain the majority
report.
Maine will now maintain the status

Of all school officers on many matters.
One matter referred to especially,
and which needs some attention, is that
of the tenure of teachers. Superintend-
ent Barrett recommends and strongly
urges upon school officers that they em-
ploy teachers for a year, and not for
term The law gives boards authority
to contract for a year. but 1t is not often
done. On the contrary, the teachers es-
pecialy in the rural schools, are em-
ployed a term at a time, and changes at
the end OF each term are all too COM
mon. A teacher has not time in three
months to plan and carry into execution
any definite work, and it is believed
better results would follow the employ
ment of teachers for an entire school
wear at time.

is puzzling to the lawyers and they de-
sire that the supreme court shall have a
guess at 1T before 1t goes into the prece-
dents which make up the law practice.
Ihe plaintiff lives in Schaller and the
defendant in Danbury. She brought a
suit for divorce and division Of prop
erty alleged to be worth $4,000 on the
ground of his alleged drunkenness and
desertion. The case was tried before
Judge Elwood. He refused the divorce
because the charge of drunkenness was
not proved. The defendant has alleged
that the suit was not brought in good
faith. but for the purpose of extorting
money from the defendant; but the
court found this was not true. The de-
cree was that the plaintiff should pay
the costs in the case, amounting to
$S2.15; but the court also decreed that
the defendant should pay the attorneys
for the plaintiff, A. P. Searle and w. A.
Helsel, their fee of 500 for prosecut-
ing the case for divorce. The defendant
who won the case in the sense of pre-
venting the divorce decree has appealed
from the decree so far as it relates to
the payment of the attorneys for the
plaintiff. The defendant claims that
having beat in the case. he should not
have greater expense than the plain
tiff.
