Donoestic sizes Of anthracite were quoted at SO

orerators BY the coal carrying roads the same
grades of coal were quoted at s. Representatives
of the big companies said there was no decrease
in the amount Of their coal coming TO this city ana
that none Of it was being sold as independent
output.
The market is no longer governed by the cir
cular agreement and is expected to fuctuate with
the weather and the amount of anthracl'e Oh

rrices the cost 10 the consumer will be governed
to large extent by the proportion the high priced

gress Proposed.

Washington Jan. S-The House Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries to-day after consld-
ering the resolution introduced by Representative
Mccall Of Massachusetts, providing that the priv
Ieges Of the coastise trade be granted to foreign
steamers for ninety days for the exclusive purpose
of carving coal between American ports, directed
that q resolution be introduced asking the House
to authorize committee to investigate the subject
of coal transportation. New-York, Baltimore, Phll-
adelphia and Boston shipping interests We're hearo
bv the committee also representatives of the At
lantic Carriers Association The latter opposed the
Mccall resolution, saying that there are enough
American vessels to carry the cargoes, they
could get the coal. 1t was represented that Amer
,can ships were obliged to wait so long before
getting cargoes that they had to pay demurrage
c,,srqes which was the cause Of increased freight
rates.

rlittee introduced resolution in the house Iauer

ARMY AND NAVY GAMES MAY CEASE.

Annapolis, Jan (SpeciaD.-Sentiment IS prac-
ttcalIy unanimous among naval officers that. IN
less west Point agrees to the adoption OF eltgib-
ity rules governing future contests between the
military and naval academies il would be cette-
TO discontinue the contests. They say that tne
fact that students By law admitted to West
Point who are two years older than those al An
napolis makes the competition unfair. Commander
W F. Halsey, secretary of the Naval Athletic As
sociatlon finds that OF the students who composed
the Yale and Harvard football teams this season.
enIv one was ineligible to enter West Point, while
there was only one OF the twenty-five young enough
to enter Annapolis This, it IS said, shows that It
is possibIs for star athletes institution
and not the other. and. further. 1t is alleged that
more and more OF them are doing So
There Is no likelihood that next years game will
not be played this account, but the representa-
tives of the navy vii serve notice at the meeting
which takes place in washington Saturday next
that unless the intercollegiate or similar rules gov

responsible for every act Of violence; ana we
only wanted to see whether the organization
has interested itself in maintaining the oroer
which Won have advised. and whether it has
disciplined those who actually were convicted
of disorder"
DID NOT KNOW OF EXPULSION
Mr.. Mitchell said he did not know that any
member of the union had been expelled and
added that until men were convicted OF viola
ton Of law, the organization had no right to
expel Them and thus prejudice their case oe-
fore the trial court. Chairman Gray said that
Nr MitchelI's point was we'll taken so lar as
concerns those under indictment; but what he
wanted 10 know was whether any of those men
were ever called up who had been notoriously
engaged in Illegal acts. and whether they were
subjected to discipline by the organization.
This ended the incident
The witness Ginley testified that witnesses
were averse to coming before the commission
because they were afraid Of losing their posi-
tions. He told of one instance where work was
refused to a man because be appeared before
the arbitratcrs, and the commission MADE note
Of il and said investigation would De Inaue.
The witness, in reply to Commissioner virgin,
said that many of the coal and IRON ponce We're
of bad character. Some had served time in jail
and were hired guards as soon as Aoerateo
from prison
The commissioners and the lawyers for the
whether an organization had right to expel
for committing a crime MI barrow
thought no organization should throw a man out
any more than Christian church
Daniel J. Mccarthy, another lawyer Tor the
miners, said there was no law that would war
rant the union eXpelling a man for committing
q rnisdemeanor. He was stopped by CHAIRMAN
Gray who said: We not the United Mine
Workers of America and perhaps have no
right TO criticise them. but the commission, as
long as they are brought face to face with them,
think differently about 1t.
CONVICTED MINERS NOT MEMBERS.
MI Mitchell was called to the stand and testi-
fed that the three men who were convicted Of
killing man at Nanticole were not members
Of the union when they committed the crime.
They were ex members, because they had failed
to pay their dues. In reply 10 a question, Mr..
Mitchell said that the union had spent nearly
100000 IN relieving the distress among the
thirty thousand or fortv thousand strikers who
were not members Of the union.
The testimony given to-day was along the
same line as that presented yesterday. Many
witnesses told of personal attacks upon them,
the use of dynamite their houses. destruction
Of property by strikers and expulsion of non
union from societies.
The commission requested the lawyers for the
non-union men to curtail the number Of wit
nesses as much possible, to which they re-
piled they would. They expect to place the Ma
tional Guard officers on the stand tomorrow.
The lawyers for the miners called the attention
of the commission to the fact that President
Baer and John Markle told President Roosevelt
ing the strike and they wanted the operators to
prove the assertion. Chairman Gray said the
commission also wanted them to prove the
statement.
