MINERS TO CALL WITNESSES In RE-
BUTTAL ON MONDAY.
Arguments Before the Commission
Not Likely to BE Concluded Before
the Middle of Next Month.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.-With the ex-
ception of the presentation of statistics the
coal operators closed their case before the
coal strike commission to-day. 1t is ex-
pected the striking miners will begin to
call witnesses in rebuttal on Monday. No
session will be held tomorrow. The miners
after which the commission will adjourn
to the following Monday. The arguments
will consumr the greater part of the week
beginning Feb. o. Up to date the COM
mission has heard 400 witnesses.
The Philadelphia & Reading Coal and
Iron Company occupied all OF to-day's ses-
sions. In the forenoon session counsel for
the miners and the paymaster of the Read
ing Company differed in their views as to
the reliability of averages shown in the
wage statements handed to the commission
by the company. 1t developed during the
session that miner who testified before
the commission at Scranton had lost his
place because he was in Scranton, and the
commission exacted promise from the
superintendent of the company that he
would be reinstated.
At the afternoon session Patrick F.. Bren-

kl!' Prior To the strike of 1900 he said the
market regulated the output of coal. Since

l"l began the witness said there were 100
feet or water In the Henry Clay mine This
was due to an accident. The men struck
and as a result 800 feet of water accumu-
lated IN the mine. 1t would take several
months 10 get some of the levels i'm condi-

engineers refused 20 handle so-called .scob''

equities of the French position with the
view to induce its further consideration and
acceptance.
After comforting with those in chief au-
thority an official said the French position
is based on two essential principles: The
first is that a pacific settlement between
two sovereign nations Is entitled at least
to equal treatment with a war settlement.
If not, a precedent would be established,
the officials say, which would be an IN
centfve to war, as countries first adopting
force in the collection of claims would have
superior rights to those observing the usual
pacific means OF settlement. The view Is
strongly held here that the United states,
France and Belgium are. in effect, pacific
allies, they did not resort to force
against Venezuela. 1t is insisted that the
to prejudice the rights of the pacific allies,
but also establishes the dangerous principle
that a resort to war Is preferable to ef-
forts to maintain peace.
The second principle of the French posi-
ton is that the France-Venezuelan settle
ment is in the form of a treaty which en-
titles it to international recognition. This
was formally executed prior TO the aoop-
ton of force by the allies, and while Vene-
zuela retained full independence in the ex-
ercise OF her sovereign right to make a
treaty. Therefore 1t is maintained that this
antedates rights arising from resort to
| force. 1t is not insisted, however, that this
prior treaty settlement entitled France to
| priority in the division of the customs re-
ceipts, as the officials hold that all the
powers having claims should receive equal
treatment. 1t was at first supposed that
Great Britain, Germany and Italy favored
this view and that the opposition came
| from the personal attitude of their repre-
| sentatives. But the latest advices indicate
the sympathetic attitude Of the British am
| bassador at Washington, Sir Michael Her
| bert the German charge d'affaires, Count
| Won Quadt, and the Italian ambassador
| Signor Des Planches, who are restricted
| by their instructions. Full recognition is
| given of the evident fairness of Mr.. Bowen.
The subject is receiving careful considera-
ton and there probably will be further ne
| gotiations towards the presentation and ac-
ceptance of the foregoing principles.
