The increases asked range from Is to

mittee began hearing arguments of
the subject yesterday. Besides max
ing demand for advance wages, it is
known the miners will ask the OPP
orators to put the run-of-the-mine sys-
tenn into effect and grant the proprosl-
ton of an increase for inside and out
side common lator around the mines.
A smaller differential between the
pick and machine mined coal will also

Powers Aiding and Abetting
the ReVOlutiOnists

Maraeaibo, Jan. 22.-Three German
warships, supposed to be the Panther,
Vineta and Fake, began Smelling the
fort of San Carlos at 1890 yesterday
morning. The fort returned the fire,
The engagement was in progress I'M
Til l o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A. correspondent of the Associated
Press in a rOWboat approached to
within three miles of the fort at noon.
The roar of the guns was terrific. The
Panther appeared to be not more than
500 yards from the fort. = Her, guns
were being fired every minute. The
fort could not be seen for the clouds
of smoke, but it was plain that the
Venezuelan gunners were answering
the German fire splendidly and with
great rapidity.
At l o'clock yesterday afternoon an
explosion occurred, apparently in the
fort, and a cloud of smoke covered
part OF the ramparts. A number OF
Indian fishermen were intercepted in
fleeing from the direction of the fort
in their dugout canoes. They report
ed that the smoke seen was from the
burning village of San Carlos, which
had been sheIled by the~German ships
ana was in flames.
The Smelling of San Carlos fort Gre
ated much excitement among the resi-
dents Oh this port who have protested
against the action of the warships.

It is known b ere that two SchOOners
were overhauled by an Italian cruiser
before they had munitions of war on
board and that they succeeded in pass
ing the blockade when loaded with
arms and ammunition for the revOlu-
tionists. This is quoted in Caracas
as proof OF the truth of the frequent
statement that the blockading powers
are interested in aiding the revolu-
ton.
Fishermen Starving.
La Guaira, Jan. 22-The Dutch
morning. The cruiser visited the
islands of Los -Roques, where she
found the population, who's sloops
have been seized by the blockaders, to
be upon the verge of starvation. The
cruiser left provisions and water for
eight days.
News Reaches London.
London, Jan. 22.-The news Of the
second bombardment of Fort San Car
los reached London too late to be
printed in the papers this Thursday
morning, which nearly all comment
upon the "Olive branch" which the
German chancellor, Count Won Bue-
low, is holding out to Great Britain in
his speech and in the reichstag, and
upon the difficulties in which a chan
cellor, who is obliged to defend his
imperial masters, acts without being
responsible for them, becomes in
volved.
Castro's demand that the blockade
be raised before negotiations are
opened is regarded here as certain to
create further delays, and the belief is
expressed that the second lombard
ment of the Maracaibo fort will great
1y increase the difficulties of the stu
alton.

Washington, Jan. 22.-For three
hours yesterday Senator Burnham of
New Hampshire addressed the senate
in opposition to the omnibus state
hood bill. Becoming fatigued he sus-
pended his remarks until today.
Senator Cullom explained the neces-
sity for considering the Cuban reci-
procity treaty and appealed to Senator
Quay to permit an executive session.
The latter refused and the matter
was put to vote, with the result that
the senate refused to go into execu-
tive session, 81 to II, which was the
first test vote on the statehood bill.
Hoar Raps Roosevelt.
Toward the end of the day Senator
Hoar criticised the president for ex-
pressing his approval or disapprOval
of bills before congress had acted on
tn EN-. His remarks were called forth
by Senator Burton offering a bill,
which he said had, been vetoed once
by the president but lat it now met
with his approval.
>,.. Would Give Up Lands.
Senator Foraker introduced a bill
renouncing on the part of the United
States all rights to the church lands
of Porto Rico. The bill grants the
right of naturalization to the Porto
Ricans and to the people inhabiting
other possessions of the United States
similarly.

LIVESTOCK INTERESTS
TELL OF DETERMINATIONS

Chicago, Jan. 22.-The livestock in
terests at Omaha, st. Joseph and Sioux
City took turns yesterday in telling
the interstate commerce commission
how in their opinion Chicago is fay
ored in rates and train service over
those cities. During the examination
of Edward McVann, representing
Sioux City, it developed that shippers
usually secured advantage of unused
bills of lading, so that actual stock
rates from Sioux City are consider
ably lower than of late on the product.
McVann declared that if the commits
sion saw fit to lower the present live
stock rates into Chicago he would ask
the Iowa commission to lower the dis
lance tariffs accordingly.

Philadelphia, Jan. 22.-The session
of the strike commission yesterday
was enlivened by some interesting tes-
timony. The feature was Chairman
Gray's rather strong remarks com
menting on an incident where District
President Fahey, Of the miners union
would not grant permission during the
strike to a contractor to erect boiler
house at colliery which was neces-
sary to preserve the mine from dam
age. The president of the commits
sion said he hated tyranny no matter
whether it was practiced by an opera
tor, miner, or anyone else.
The Lehigh Valley Coal company
placed a miner on the stand to testify
on what seemed a trivial matter and
on cross examination he proved a good
witness for the miners. He said there
would be trouble in the anthracite re-
gion as long as the coal companys in
sisted upon paying contract miners
by the car instead of by weight This
opened discussion between the coun-
sci on both sides and the commission
ers, which consumed much time The
reult was that the commission will
devote an entire day to hearing argu-
ments on both sides Of the question:
One witness said that dur
ing the strike the miners
compelled a man to cease
hauling feed to the mine mules. Judge
Gray did not believe it until letter
showing that such a thing was or
dered by the local union was shown
him.

Action was taken in both branches
of the legislature yesterday 10okiHg
forward to a short session. Senator
Gaveney's joint resolution shutting off
new business after Februaryt13 was
adopted in the senate and then rushed
into the assembly, 1t will come up for
action today. ~
Speaker Lenroot just before asd-
journment urged chairmen of COM
mittees to lose no time in perfecting
organization and requested members
intending to introduce bills to present
them and act expeditiously so as to
shorten the session.
Goldn Will not Resign:
Theodore w. Goldin, chief clerk of
the senate, says he will pay no atten-
ton to the resolution of the Rock
county supervisors Demanding that
he resign aud return to GAINESVILLE to
look after his duties as the CLERK Of
court. >"
The county board, he says, has no
jurisdiction over his office as it is
elective. He has made arrangements
whereby the businesS-will be properly
attended to and if the supervisors dis
allow his claims he will probably sue.
The action Of the board, Clerk Goldin
says, is simply continuation of the
fight begun against him last July at
the time of the convention.
The Rock county board of supervis-
ors has formally summoned Mr.. Gold
in to personally attend to the duties
for which he was elected, and while no
specific action was taken as to the
penalty to be imposed for his failure
to obey its injunction, it was the gen
eral sentiment, so it's said, that per-
sonal disregard Of his local duties will
result in an order being issued for the
Withholding of his salary as clerk of
the court during the three months he
is absent in Madison.
The resolution was offered by L. E.
GettIs Of Edserton. one Of the leading

La Toilette men in Rock county. It is
not thought that Mr. Goldin can be de-
prived in law. The court clerkship
pays $4,000 a year, but it is one that
can be performed by deputy. The
office is an elective one. Mr.. Goldin
examined the legal aspects of his po-
sition very carefully before he decid-
ed to make the run for the chief clerk
ship of the, state.

A memorial to congress was intro
'duced by Senator Rogers setting forth
the need of legislation to make more
effective the interstate commerce act
by giving the commission greater au-
thority, and urging the. passage, of
either the Elkins bill, pending in the
senate, or the Wanger bill, in the
house, to give the needed relief. 1t
went over till today.

TWO MEN KILLED.

Chas. Franguist and Werner Storm
two miners were killed in the
| Crystal Falls mine on Wednesday
morning by piece of the floor of a
| stope giving away and letting them
fall down to the bottom OF the stope
below, distance of 100 feet. The
two men we've old experienced miners
and were put TO work to drill lot of
holes in the floor of the stope on the
upper level of the mine, it being the
intention to blast the holes all at once
and break the whole of the floor down
to the stop beneath. They had been
working over week, and on the
morning in question must have failed
to use the caution that is necessary in
working in old slopes of the kind for
they set up their machines at the apex
of the arches below and were working
where the back was but five feet thick.
A piece of the floor about four feet
thick square gave away and let the
men fall to the floor beneath.
Inc accident occurred sometime on
the night shift but the absence of the
men was moi noticed, they being in
the habit of looking after themselves
and coming and going apart from the
major portion of the workmen. None
seemed to have been working opposite
to them for the accident was not
known of until the dead body of one
Of the men ran through the chute ON
the level below when an investigation
was made and the true state of affairs
learned.
The dead men were both married

EARNEST BREINING.

The community was shocked last
Saturday afternoon when the news was
spread out that Earnest Breining had
died suddenly at his home in the lower
part of town during the latter part Of
the day. Mr.. Breining was apparent
ly in good health day or so before
his death but it seems that he had
been troubled for years with asthma
and it was an attack of that disease
that ended his life.
He was 80 years old and was born in
Germany where he resided until ten
years ago when he came to Crystal
Falls directly from the old country.
He was stone mason by trade and
worked continually at mason work
about this city He was married
man and is survived by wife only.
The funeral took place on Monday
and was held under the auspices of the
Sons OF Herman TO which order he be-
longed.
