reserved for hesjurisdiction Of the Court

The Court In Genegal Term was given
jurisdiction to try, this case because Martin

hiners on the other, and the issue Is to
determine whether the people may have
COAL except upon such terms as the union
may prescribe.
I'VE submit that there Is nothing in the
evidence showing any basis for demand
for increase of wages at the present time.
Taxation Without Benefit.
THE unerring symptom of underpay and
overwork in any avocation Is the fact that
the workers themselves gradually leave it.
Is there any such indication in this case?
On the contrary. quite the reverse
Taxation without benefit is robbery. If
we are taxed for the benefit of these plain
tlffs we ask for some benefit in return;
not pecuniary value. but we demand,
not in insolent defiance, but as humble citi-
zens of this state. that protection and safe
ty for ourselves and employees that Is guar
anteed us by the bill of rights of the con-
stitution Of Pennsylvania.

Special Dispatch to The Evening StaA
DOVER, Del, February 11.-There was
an important development today In the pro-
longed double senatorial fight, and the out
come probably means that the democrats
will refuse their assistance to the regular
republicans.
The issue was the much-talked-of voters
assistant law, which, it is charged, was
enacted by the union republicans at the last
session of the legislature as method OF
learning that the goods had been deliv-
cred" in the matter of purchasable votes.
When Representative Rose (demo pre-
scented resolution in the House to take the
bill repeating the voters assistant law
from the committee on revised statutes and
have it considered this afternoon In COM
mittee Of the whole. Representative Finn,
who is virtually the regular republican
leader in the House. and who is also chair
man Of the committee in question, entered
a vigorous opposition.
Time for Action.
Mr.. Rose declared that the repeater had
been in committee since January 80, and he
thought it was time for some action to be
taken on It.
Mr Finn replied that the committee was
giving the bill due consideration, and that
II the Rose reSOlutlOn Shoulo pass IL WouIu
be reflection.
Representative Holcomb (dem.) said that
the voters assistant law had been matter
for consideration for two years and that
every honest man in Delaware wanted 1t to
be repealed.
BY a vote of q to Is, however, the resO-
luton presented by Mr.. Rose was defeated
and the repeater stays In committee.
How the Regulars Voted.
The regulars voted with the Addicks
men against the resolution.
When the democrats recently presented
an ultimatum to the regular republicans
Offering to coalesce with them and elect
two United States senators, one from each
side, it was strongly stated therein that
they, the democrats, would do all in their
power to aid the regulars in repeating
this infamous law
The fact that the regulars Joined with
the Add!ckS men today in delaying
prompt disposal of the repeater BODIES no
good for the anti-Addicks republicans, at
least 50 far as aid from the democrats is
concerned.
The ballots in the joint session at noon
today again showed no change.
The regular republicans held caucus
this morning and decided to continue vot-
Ing for Representative Ball for the long
term and Henry A. Dupont for the short
term 1t was announced that nothing else
was done. Frederick E. Bach Of Will
miEgton, who is said to be an Addicks
emissary, was here today in the interest
OF the election of a regular republican
and a union republican. II he succeeded

Influence In politics, Mr.. Morgan referred
to the election OF Mr. Smoot as senator
from Utah. and said he would never think
of opposing his entry into the Senate be-
cause he was an apostle Of the Mormon
Church, because religion in this country

on the organic law of Colombia with re-
spect to religious freedom and trample 1t

captain is not certain that the vessel i:
registered with Lloyd. it is orobabl,
that she will be surveyed under the
dIi ection of Lloyd.
Both the City of Picking and the So
noma were expected from San Fran
cisco early this morning. AS the PEEK.
ing left ahead of the Sonoma most OF
the mail and newspaper files likely
were placed aboard her. She has prob
ably brought seven days mail.
Yesterday afternoon as the Mikahala
was leaving the dock for Kauai a Jap
anese was found on board who had a
ticket for Lahaina. He was hastily put
on the dock, where he stood muttering
thirgs which couldn't be translated as
he watched the steamer Maui, which
he should have taken, disappear over
the horizon.
After helping to pull the S. S. Claver-
ing off the reef the Fearless has re-
turned to her berth at the Naval
completed. She has not only had new
boiler tubes and condensers put in but
also has a new propeller which it is
expected will make the tug more pow
erful than she was before.
Although there has been nothing set
tied about the salvage, the tugs will
probably put in bill for large
amount. The vessel and cargo are
worth over 100000 and w. c. Irwin &
Co. can by law put in claim for over
800, 600. 1t is possible that the matter
may go to court, but every effort will
be made to settle privately. However
can be done until the captain
hears from London. 1t is very likely
that $4,000 or $4,000 will be accepted
for salvage. 1t IS not thought that
the Clavering has sustained any serious
damage as she is not leaking. She will
probably sail for San Francisco some
time today.

TROUBLE OVER
THE INSPECTION

| Yesterday was the first time that
| there was a strenuous kick against
| the recent order of the Treasury De-
| partment requiring all hand baggage OF
| east-bound passengers to be searched
The Ventura which arrived from the
| Colonies yesterday morning had 135
|! passengers aboard and as it was get
ting along towards noon before any OF
| them were allowed ashore there were
some rather severe comments made by
| the officers and others. The Customs
| offers were responsible for the delay
and yet it was not in any degree their
fault. The fact was there were not
| enough men to inspect the baggage.
| Several of the Customs officers were
| sick. and there were four on the CLAW
| ering. so that only four were left to
| examine the baggage of the 1873 passen-
gers. The work is hard enough at best
but to look over merchandise in the
| stuffy staterooms with an angry crowd
| of owners is no fun. If the order is
to remain in force permanently there
will be urgent need for some more in
spectors for when a large vessel comes
in, or two steamers arrive at once, it
may be hours before the passengers
will be able to come ashore. Although
Surveyor of the Port jacobson has
heretofore always been able to finish
the examination of the baggage before
the steamers have reached the dock,
to finish the work on the steamers due
this week will tax the Customs men
to the utmost.
The Ventura is the first boat that
there has been any real trouble on but
tomorrow if there is not larger force
of Customs inspectors on hand there is
bound to be a time in examining the
Siberia, for the big Pacific liner will
surely have a large crowd of first and
second cabin and steerage passengers.
There has been a great deal of COM
plant about this late order, and prob
ably in the near future there will be
SoIile pTOlSSlS lOuSSu with the. treas
ury Department, asking for at least
modification of the order as Hackfeld
& Co. have already done. The order
hits Honolulu, for the passengers have
so little time to view the city that they
spend no money here. Again the rule
ordering baggage to be shut in a seal
ed compartment until the arrival of
vessels at San Francisco works a hard
ship on the passengers who have only
light clothing for tropical weather, and
realize after their baggage has been
locked up that they will strike a cold
climate several days after leaving this
port. Many of the passengers have so
far neglected the precaution of taking
out warm clothing before their trunks
are sealed up, and as a consequence
have suffered from the cold.
