Organization is Not Indicted and
Hopes LRNvlessness VIII he
Found work OF Others.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. S.-The proceed
ings of the coal strike commission today
we're enlivened by a passage at arms be-
tween Mr.. Mitchell and the chairman.
Judge Gray expressed the hope that the
miners union would come up out of the
mire into the Eunlight to which Mr.. Mitch
ell retorted that the union should not be
indicted unless connection could be shown
between II and acts OF lawlessness related
by witnesses.
The incident came audtsnly lille a wit
ness was on the stand and caused quite a
stir among the lawyers on both sides.
Outside OF this the entire day was taken
up in hearing stories Of nonunion men or
their relatiN es Of alleged persecution.
Union Men Convicted.
Anthony Ferguson Of Mahoney City, out
side foreman at the North Mahoney colliery
Of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and
Iron company, said he was beaten while on
his way to the works. He recognized two
Of his assailants as union men and they
were sfterward prosecuted and convicted.
Mr.. Parker asked II they were expelled
from the union. but the foreman did not
know.
Noting the interest the commission took

men called on Terrence Gingley. a mer1-
Der of the executive board OF the union In
the district where the assault was COM
mitted for information.
But Gingley did not know whether the
local union to which the men belonged
took any action. The actions taken by the
local union were principally advisory.
Then he went on to tell OF attempts
made to keep the peace at Shenandoah be-
fore the big riot there and added there
had been no disturbance until the coal and
iron police were sent to that place.
The chairman stopped him ID you wait
for conviction by the civil authorities be-
fore ~disciplining your men" he asked,
"Do you think you can have effective dis
cipline unless you make Investigations
| yourselves and bring the men up and pun
jsh them in some way? ! ask you as a
member Of the order and as a man who
would be glad to see your order come out
Of the mire and the clouds that are around
the baser parts Of 1t into the sunlight and
into the air Of free government and q free
country"
"If 1t is proved that our men have com
mitted acts Of violence, there is no ques-
ton about our disciplining them" replied
the witness.
Mob Kept silenc
Then followed a discussion over the
Shenandoah riot and the killing Of a man
and in reply to Mr.. Mitchell's remark thai
It was not the miners who did II. Judge
Gray retorted:
Eyes, but there was a crowd and as yet
have heard no evidence Of a disciplininl
voice in that mob. No man there said

Mr.. Darrow-The country must not ex.
pect the railroad companies to furnish
that.
Witness added that the union would prove
that union men had tried to prevent tn,
riots, and Judge Gray hoped they would d.
so.

grasp which the President kept On the
progress of events. On July 10, 1888, he
directed this dispatch to be sent:
"Washington, July Is, 1898; 9:20 p. IN.
Major General Shafter,
"Playa del Este:
"The President and Secretary Of War
are becoming impatient with pariey. Any
arrangement that allows the enemy to take
their arms had as well be abandoned once
for all. as ii will not be approved. The
way to surrender is to surrender, and this
should be fully impressed on Gen. Toral."
Once more the result justified the Presi-
dents judgment. Santiago was surren-
dered, and with it force nearly double
that of the investing army.
In every movement of the war, as well
as in the peace negotiations that followed,
the Presidents firm hand was felt, and
the country has surely just cause to be
proud Of the humane and Christian policy
by which he sought to avoid war; the
prudent and patriotic foresight with
which, when war became inevitable, he
postponed its outbreak until the country
was ready for it; and the marvellous skill,
courage and judgment with which he so di-
rected affairs, aided by the invincible val

Senator Vests Tribute to a Dog.
(Argonaut.)

Senator Vest once paid this eloquent
tribute to dog in a suit brought against
farmer who shot his neighbor's faith
full beast in malice: "The one absolutely
unselfish friend that man can have in this
selfish world, the one that never deserts
him, the one that never proves ungrateful
or treacherous, is his dog. A mans dog
stands by him in prosperity and in pow
erty, in health and in sickness. He will
sleep on the cold ground, where the Win
try winds blow and the snow drives fierce
ly, if only he may be near his masters
side. He will kiss the hand that has no
food to offer; he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with the
roughness Of the world. He guards the
sleep Of his pauper master as if he were
a prince. When all other friends desert
he remains. When riches take wings
and reputation falls to pieces he is as con-
stant in his love as the sun in its jour
neys through the heavens. If fortune
drives the master forth an outcast in the
world, friendless and homeless, the faith
full dog asks no higher privilege than
that Of accompanying him, to guard
against danger, to fight against his
enemies. And when the last scene Of all
comes, and death takes the master in its
embrace, and his body is laid away in
the cold ground. no matter il all other
friends pursue their way there by the
graveside will the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws, his eyes sad, but
open in alert watchfulness. faithful and
true even in DEATH" On the strength of
this speech, it is said, the jury was so
moved that it awarded the plaintiff a ver-
dict of $500.

Forty years ago history was being made

resources of the South, assumed the role
Of invasion. But vigorous and rapid as
were his movements, giving him the lead
on the march, the choice Of location for
battle-ground and opportunity of rest for
his men and time to fortify his position,
he found the Army of the Potomac ready
