COAL STRIKE COMMISSION
AT WORK ON REPORT

(By Associated press)
.WAsHINGTON, d. c.. March 5.-Re p-
resentatiycs OF both side Of the coal strike
question appeared before the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission to-day. The main
question discussed was that of determine
Ing the best methpd Of payment for coal
mined, and hinged upon the point as# TO
whether settlement shall be made with the
men according to weight or measure.
The hearing to-day foreshadowed an
early report Of the commission to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, as 1t involves practically
the only issue which remains unsettled IN
the minds Of the commission. Tho nearing
was secret.
The following statement regarding the
meeting was given out by tho commission
late this afternoon:
'rhe Anthracite Coal Strike Commits
sion met to-day for the purpose Of
consultation with the counsel and repre-
sentatiycs OF the miners and the. coal op-
orators, to enable tho commission to
avoid any misunderstanding as to matters
under lis consideration, but not to sub
NIT to the parties any conclusions reached
by the commission or any form or an
award. Ono OF the difficult subjects with
witch the co,nmisslo has had to deal
is that OF paying for coal by welghtt,
rather than by car. NO additional testl-
mony was asked for nor offered.
.'The commission is hard at work upon
it's report, sitting late at night and making
every endeavor to reach a speedy con-
clusion, but just when decision can be
reached cannot be stated"

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Demo-

but they probably will discuss TO some
extent the question Of policy with ref
erence to tho treaties now pending III
the Senate. III. IL J..
It is the general opinion among Demo-
cratic Senators that Senator German
will he asked to resume his old place
as chairman of tho Democratic eau
Gus. IL. 3a al,
Another question which probably will
hc taken up Is the appointment OF
member Of the Committee on Foreign
Relations to succeed Mr. Bailey, who
Mas excused from service on that COM
mttee by tho Senate OIL Tuesday last
upon his own motion. When he retired
lie suggested Senator Clark Of Montana,
as his successor, and as there was no
opposition, the suggestion was adopted
and Mr.. Clark was made member OF
ITO cornittee. There Is no objection
to MIR, Clark ms u member Of the COM
u,ttee, but there is Il feeling on the
Fart OF somo Of the Democratic Senator'S
that the designation Of q member or SO
important Il committee should be left TO
the caucus. and not to an Individual
Senator. It, therefore, seems probable
that the caucus will ask to be allowed
to flll the pace and that Senator Clark
will DO named by the caucus,
The vacancies on the Steering Com
nlittee also will be filled.

\
WASHINGTON. March b.-The Rcpub-
lican Senators will make a united effort
to secure action upon the Panama canal
treaty and the Cuban reciprocity treaty
as speedily as possible.
A meeting of the Republican steering
committee OF the Senate was held after
Adjournment to-day, and this course was
decided upon. The situation was dis
cusscu at some lepgth and the conclu-
sion reached that business might be
greatly facilitated by keeping as many
Senator'S as possible In the city and In
their seats, and tho individual members
Of the steering committee agreed to de-
vote their energies to this end
No ono IN the committee had any deli
nite information as 10 the time that may
be consumed in debating the treaties.
but 1t was stated as u rlimor that Sem
ator Morgan had said that as there were
a number of new members of the Senate.
he would feel 1t incumbent upon himself
to go over the ground quite completely
and even to review much that he had
already said. The evident purpose OF
Tho Republicans is TO avoid, If possible,
calls on account of the absence OF a
quorum and to keep the Senate running
as steadily as possible They are agreed
as 10 tho deSirability of completing the
session Mt an early day. The Cuban
treaty under the extension provided for
in the agreement between this country
and Cuba expires at the end OF this
month The Panama treaty Will, however,
be tho first OF the Two to be taken up.
