The report of the credentials commit
tee seated 104 delegates in the confer
demands of the miners. and cited the
reasons the miners had for making the
demands for an increase of wages this
year. He SAID that the country was
passing through Il period of unparal-
leled prosperity. but that the miners
were not receiving their share of it.
He wanted I'm adjustment of the diff
ferential between pick and machine
mined coal, and asked that it be fixed
at cents fiat.
What the Diggers Demand
The miners demands which he read
are as follows: 0b Absolute run-of-
mine basis for the entire competitive
field; C2l dat differential of cents
per ton between pick and machine
mined coal: 81 an advance of 121a
cents ton on pick and machine min
ing; a. a 30 per cent. advance on all
inside day labor. based on the Colum-
bus inside day scale agreement, and Il
uniform scale for all outside day labor,
with appropriate advance with the
mining rates; o. that drivers and Gag
erS shall be paid the same as track
layers and timber men.
Justi Speaks for Illinois Operators.
immediately after the demand of the
miners had been read Herman Justi.
the commissioner for the Illinois OPP
orators. submitted a long statement
setting forth the reasons why the Illi-
noiS operators were not on an equality
with the other operators of the district.
and that they should not have to agree
to a scale on the same basis as the
other states Of the competitive district.

TOO SWIFT FOR HIM
Payne, Republican Floor Leader,
Cannot Stop the Progress
of Forty-Five Claims.
THEY ARE OF ALL SORTS AND AGES
Fight Is Hot and Long and Recess Is
Taken Instead of Adjournment
Silver Ratio Up Again.

Washington, Jan. 81. - Yesterday
was the last private. claims day of
this congress in the house. and mem
bers with bills on the calendar carried
everything before them in committee
of the whole. Forty-five bills in all
We're acted on favorably, despite the
efforts of Payne, the Republican floor
leader. assisted by Cannon and others,
to defeat some of them. Many of the
claims were old. dating back to the
civil war. ana q few originated prior
to that time The latter were for bal
ances due for carrying mails in the
south when The war broke out.
Payne Says They Have Been Paid.
Payne was particularly insistent in
his opposition to these bills, calling at
tention to the exposure of the fraud
ulent character of many similar claims
in the Forty-fifth congress. He eX
pressed the opinion that all these
claims had been paid before. The men,
bers interested stood together, how
ever, and voted him down every time
he demanded a division. There were
several bills to reimburse postmaSters
and internal revenue collectors for
stamps lost or stolen One was to pay
the balance on a contract for ice fur
niShed the army hospitals in the Mis-
sissippi valley during the war. The
amount claimed is $4,000 and is for
ice at the rate of 90 cents hundred
pounds.
Other Specimen Claims.
Among the others We're bills to pay
George c. Ellison. an engineer at the
capital in the 70's. 5000 for the cost
of defending himself against the charge
of murder; to pay 5000 to the widow
of Samuel Muhleman. one of the vic
Tins of the old Ford theater disaster,
when the building. in which were EN-
ployed government clerks, collapsed.
and to refund the customers of w. NJ.
Jacobs, of Lancaster. Pa. the amount
of the counterfeit stamps purchased
from him.
Payne Fails to Stem the Tide.
When the committee of the whole
reported the bills to the house Payne
blocked their final passage for the day
by making the point of no quorum.
But the friends of the claims refused
to be balked. \ motion was made to
recess until this morning at 1890
o'clock. in order to continue the legis-
lative day of yesterday. and the SER
geant-at-arms and his deputies We're
sent out to arrest and bring in alb
sentees. 1t was p. m. before the re-
quisite quorum was secured to carry
the motion and let the session go over
until 1870 a. m. today.
