ON THE COAL STRIKE.
More Evidence Was offered Before
the Commission.

MORE ENtuence was Onered Before
the Commission.
Philadelphia, Jan. 27.-Considerable
progress was made to-day by the An
thracite Coal Strike Commission, and
it is probable that the independent
operators will have concluded their
cases by tomorrow. The Reading
company will follow and will occupy
the attention of the commission dur
ing the remainder of the week.
The testimony presented to-day was
varied and interesting. an important
witness being Albert c. Leisenring,
superintendent of the Upper Lehigh
Coal Company. Mr.. Leisenring said
he believed the meeting of employer
and employe to be beneficial to both
parties, and when asked If he pre-
ferred to allow his mine to fill with
water rather than grant his men an
eight-hour working day, he said he
would rather not break the classified
rates. not on his own account, how
ever
Another witness who aroused the in
terest of the commissioners was H. K,
Christ, coal breaker builder, who
said he was refused permission" by
the district officers of the United Mine
Workers to build two breakers while
the strike was in progress.

Company, was compelled to change
many Of the figures that appeared in
the company's answer to the miners
demands, recently published. In every
case the amounts were higher than the
men had received, the figures ranging
from 10 cents to 500. Chairman Gray
became impatient with the witness and
expressed his displeasure in pointed
terms, saying the man knew nothing
about the case.
At the afternoon session there oc-
CURED a spirited interchange by At
tOrney Mccarthy for the miners and
Willarm Young, who had acted as a
special coal and iron policeman during
the recent strike. Mr.. Young insisted
that reign of terror existed in the
Lehigh region, but under cross-exam-
ination several times contradicted
himself regarding the nature of the
disturbances which he said had oc-
CURED. He charged Mr.. Mccarthy
with almost having himself pre-
cipitated riot, but later admitted that
the only information he had on the
subject was from hearsay.
Contrary to Young's story was that
of A. P. Plat, who said reign of
terror did not exist, but declined to
commit himself as to the advisability
of ordering out the troops.

the Statehood Discussion,

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Quay

the statehood Bill, but failed to hold
a quorum, and was compelled on that
account to allow the Senate to adjourn

BULLS HAD A SETBACK.
Decline of over Two Cents Shown
I'm May Wheat.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-The bull cam
setback to-day, and a decline of over
cents was registered in that delivery.
The main reason for the decline was
the disappointing foreign advices which
caused considerable anxiety among the
longs, resulting in the unloading of
heavy lines upon an already weak mar
ket. The let-up in the export demand
was the principal bear factor, advices
from France being to the effect that
the wheat. which has been sold here
the past few days, presumably for
French consumption, was intended for
grinding in bond and to be exported
again as flour. The leader of the bull
campaign, who has been an active buy
er for the past few weeks. took but
small part in the trading to-day and
as a result the market lacked any ma
terial support.
When it was learned later in the ses-
sion that the operator who had been
leading the bull movement was sell
ing through brokers, there was a great
rush to secure profits, an enormous
amount of long wheat was dumped
upon the market. There was a slight
rally toward the close on covering by
shorts.
Late in the day it was reported that
Armour, who has been the leader in
the bull movement. had disposed of
anywhere from 100000 to $4,000, 900
bushels of May wheat during the day,
and the inference was that he was en-
deavoring to shake out the smaller
traders, and from the appearance of
the market to-day it would seem that
he had been successful. The line which
was held by this leading house, was
purchased from rs cents up, and esti-
mating his profits at cents per bushel,
which is a conservative figure, the net
profits on the deal as shown by to-
days sales. would amount to about
100000.

SAFES WERE BLOWN
AT WAYNESVILLE.
Virgins store and the A. c. L. De-
pot Suffered

pot suffered.
Waycross, Ga, Jan. 27.-The little
town of Waynesville, on the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, thirty-fve miles
south of Waycross, is stirred up with
excitement to-day as never before, on
account of the burglary of the store
of w. NJ. Virgins and the Atlantic
Coast Line depot last night. The safes
at each of these places were blown
open, and all the valuables in sight
stolen. From the railroad safe only
little more than a dollar was obtained,
but from Virgins store the burglars
obtained about SIS in cash and guam
tity of jewelry.
The burglaries were probably the
work of amateurs, as great difficulty
appears to have been experienced in
opening the safes. Holes were drilled
near the locks, and either dynamite or
powder used as an explosive.
1t is believed that the burglaries
were committed by two white men,
who appeared to be tramps, who spent
the day at Waynesville yesterday
Shortly after the men arrived, they in
CURED for a blacksmith shop After
being directed to a negroes shop near
by they went and looked over his
tools. Last night the shop was broken
into, and the same tools the white men
were looking at in the morning were
found near one of the wrecked safes.
The tramps had disappeared this
morning, and an engineer on a Sea-
board Air Line freight train reported
seeing them near White Oak, a small
station ten miles below Waynesville. A
posse was quickly organized, and went
out to capture the men.
One of the tramps is described as be-
ing about 25 years old, smooth faced,
and wearing a dilapidated tan over
coat. The other one is probably 35
years old and has black whiskers.
