That Call For Investigation
and Correction.

New York, Jan. 11.-Ten Slavs,
ragged and half starved, have arrived
here from Toms Creek, Va, whittier
they went, six weeks ago, with 80 9TH
ers, on the promise of steady work in
a coal mine at $3.50 a day. They tell
a story of oppression that has caused
the Austrian ambassador at Washing
ton, Baron Hengenmueller, to start
an investigation, with the object of
freeing the men still at the mine and
Of obtaining redress for their wrongs.
After having been hired the men
were taken to the little town of Geor-
gel, on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
whence they drove 90 miles across
country. The next morning each man
received several sticks of dynamite
and some petroleum.
"These are your TOOLS" they were
told. "They will cost you $40, and we
will take it in installments out of
your pay"
The men worked II hours the first
day. At night they received SO cents
each, instead of $3.50, and they pro.
tested. But they were told to be care.
full of their money, as they would be
expected to pay part of the cost of
their materials out of it at the end
OF the week.
This condition of affairs continued
for three weeks. Then the AZ men
escaped. But all but ten were recap.
tured ana taken back to the mine.

The Chief Executive Of Missouri
Sends His Message to the
General Assembly.
REVIEW OF AFFAIRS OF THE STATE.
The State shown to be In Prosper

OF d People Served by the on
GERS in Charge-RecOmmendation

Following is the biennial message,
in full, of Gov. Alexander NJ. Dockery,
transmitted to and read in both
houses of the Forty-second general
assembly of Missouri:
The Message.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of
Representatives:
Accept roy hearty col. organizations upon
your assemblage under such favorable
auspices. Prosperity has showered its
blessings lavIshly upon our people dur
ing the twelve months past. Missourians
are not only prosperous but proud of
their glorious commonwealth and devoted
TO our great republic.
During the more than four score years
that have passed since Missouri was adj
mitted to the American union, she has
steadily progressed in all the essential
elements which promote the happiness
n prosperity of the people and contrib
ute to the grandeur and glory of this
sovereign state.
We have made splendid progress during
the entire history of the state, but the
development of all our varied resources
during the past two years has been phe-
nomenal. And there are grander triumphs
yet to be won.
Missouri is now first among the states
in agricultural pr~e-eminence. eighth in
wealth and fifth in population. Our agri-
cultural, horticultural, railway, manu-
featuring, mining and all other industries
have greatly prospered. Our educational
system is constantly expanding in scope
and increasing in effectiveness. Our cities
are teeming with busy population, en-
gagged in profitable industries. On every
hand there is well directed energy, thrift
and enterprise. The laws nave been i'm
partially administered Crime has been
punished. Life and property have been
fully protected. TIL administration of the
fiscal affairs of the state has been wise,
honest and frugal. Missouri has the low

TURKISH WOMAN'S HOLIDAY.
Friday the Only Day of the Week on
Which Turkish Women En-
joy any Liberty.

Friday is the only day on which
Turkish women enjoy a little liberty
and release from the dreadful seclu-
sion in which they are always kept,
and they are not slow to avail them
selves of the chance. On Fridays ev-
cry one goes to the Sweet Waters of
Asia. which consists of a small river
running about two miles inland, with
trees and meadows on each side. Hun
dreds of boats assemble and glide up
and down the river. Every boat or
caique has two or more Turkish Ia
dies on board. The sight is a very
fine one, as each private caique is
most carefully got up, and the boat
men wear brilliant l~iveries to match
the cushions and the long embroi&
cred cloth which hangs over the stern
and trails in the water. The khedivah
of Egypt's is one of the finest, in
crimson and gold, embroidered with
crowns and fishes. Besides the liver
les the parasols make a wonderful
show, and here may be seen all the
latest Partisan creations. The ladies
must not speak to the men, but the
careful observer a frequently catch
sight Of the wells lowered or other
signal given when a particular boat
is passing, and habitual f%requenters
can point out boats which are some
times close to each other. 1t is n very
innocent diversion, and would not sat
isfy western ladies'. An hour before
sunset the police boats appear and
force all women to leave.-London

AFTER THE COAL SHARKS.
A Special Grand Jury Impaneled In
Chicago 70 Investigate the
Fuel Conditions.
WAS ROUNDED UP ON SHORT NOTICE.
States Attorney Deneen, Assisted
BY Attorney-GeneraI Hamlin,
Will Conduct the Inquiry Into the
muse For the Continued High
Prices Demanded for Coal.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE prompt &C
ton of States Attorney Chas. S. De-
neen, upon information furnished
him by the special committee ap-
pointed by the Illinois Manufacture
ers' association resulted in the con-
vening, Saturday morning. of a spe-
cial grand jury to inquire into the
causes for the high prices demanded
for coal by Chicago dealers. Twenty
deputy sheriffs worked almost the en-
tire night to secure service of sum-
monses on rs veniremen and of sub
peonas for the appearance of prom
inent coal dealers who are believed
to be in a coal combination in de-
fiance of the law. When court was
called Saturday morning, a majority
Of the talesmen were on hand, and
the work of impaneling a jury at once
proceeded.
The formal order for the special
grand jury was issued by Judge Will
lard McEwen late Friday, upon a Pc
tition by the states attorney, declar-
ing his belief that there exists
among certain coal operators, own
ers and dealers a combination Gin
furious to the public trade" and that,
in consequence, great distress and
suffering prevail among the poor in
the community" Judge McEwen i'm
mediately suspended court proceed
ings while he issued the order for a
special venire converting the grand
jury. The order was taken at once
to the jury commissioner, and rs
names were handed Sheriff Barrett
for immediate service.
Att'y.-Gen. Hamlin, who was in tel
ephonic communication with Mr.. De-
neen several times Friday, arrived in
Chicago Saturday morning, and will
take an active part in the prosecu-
ton. 1t is also expected that the Re-
tail Dealers association, the Build
ing Managers association and the
railroad committee of the city coun-
Gil will assist in the proceedings.
Twenty-three jurors were quickly
secured and the oath administered.
Judge McEwen's charge was brief, and
confined largely to defining the duties
of the jurors.
ut is not necessary to divulge in
any language" he said, after reading
to them the states attorneys petit
ton, "to impress upon you or upon
any fair minded man the crime and
infamy of such a situation as is here
set forth. Your duties with regard to
the Investigation are set forth in the
oath you have taken"
The jury then retired to enter upon
its investigation.

exploitation OF our resources in the east.
ern n southern states will enlarge the
markets for our products and result in
the establishment of closer and more

Missouri and other states of the Union.
Legfslation.
l earnestly invite the attention of the
general assembly to the necessity of full
filling the pledges made to the people
which require legislation for their en-
forcement.
I also earnestly urge the necessity for
the enactment of an enective law to pro-
tect game and fish. The present statute
is ineffective, n the necessity for
amendment is obvious.
The state board of charities and cor.
rcction recommends the creation of a
juvenile court, applicable to the larger
cities of the state. l can not too strongly
indorse the enactment of such legisla-
ton, and trust 1t may meet with your
approval.
At this time ! do not desire to submit
further recommendations in respect to
proposed legislation. l will do so, from
time to time. by special message, in the
event the interests of the people should
seem to require it.
Conclusion.
And now, gentlemen, permit me to again
congratulate you, and through o the
suspicious opening of the Forty-second
general assembly.
1t is an exalted privilege to be a citizen
of this proud commonwealth 1t is a
privilege still more exalted to be a citizen
of this great republic.
The fundamental doctrines of govern
ment announced by Thomas Jefferson
dedicated this young republic to freedam.
Its development Is the romance of his
tory. Our progress in invention; the ex-
pansion of territory; the increase of pop
u~lation; the s%tupendous accumulation of
wealth and the development of all our
song and story while the everlasting hills
ndure.
To-day we occupy the vantage position
of the freest and most progressive nation
in the history Of the human race. The
imperiShable achievements of the first
century of our constitutional existence
could be possible only by a united, enter
prising, free people.
However, great as lave been the tri-
umphs of our people, more liberal COM
mercial policies invite us to yet greater
triumphs. Under the policy of freer trade
this republic will soon become a MASTER
full commercial world power. Unham-
pered trade; a new merchant navy; cheap
telligent labor; uneXcelled productive ma
chinery. I'M the ~tireless enterprise of our
people will destroy trust monopolies 20
sheltered by legislation, and also enable
the productive industries of this country
to dominate. the highways of ocean COM
merce and the marts of the world.
With joy Missouri will hail the coming
era, when the glories of commercial free
dom shall crown our country with the
laurels of Respondent. fadeless suprem-
acy. A. M. DOCKERY.
