FINDINGS ANTICIPATED.
Believed Miners Wages Will DEPEND
on Mine Price of Coal.

Believed Miners Wages Will Depend
on Mine Price of Coal.
New York, March 19.-Although the
findings of the anthracite coal strike
commission were not made public by
President Roosevelt, in whose hands
the report has been placed in Wash
1ngton, an inkling, seemingly based on
the very best of authority, has reached
this city as to the nature of the con-
cessiOns which would be made to the
miners in the important matter of
wages, says The Herald.
This was that there should be esta.b-
lished for the next three years. what
is known as a sliding scale, and that
the prices paid to the miners would be
based on charges made by the opera
tors for ton of coal. With this min
imum rate of wages for the miners is
to be the price which is now paid to
them.
There are the best of reasons, said
The Herald, for believing that such
a provision is incorporated in the rec
concentrations of the commission, for
it seemed to find favor with all the
members of that body when it was
broached to them first by George f.
Baer, when he appeared before the
commission.

eaoteriologist confesses to Dumping
BacilIIIn Drainaue Canal.

BacilILIn Drainage Canal.
ST. Louis, March 19.-Edward Ra-
void, a former cowboy and mining en-
gineer of Arizona, and a brother of bac-
teriologist DIR. Armand Ravold, was the
man, who, unaided, dumped 107 bar
rels of imported baciIli prodigious into
the Chicago drainage canal ON the
qjght Of Nov. 8, 1901, and thereby
enabled his brother to establish the
fact that the germs hoated down to
ST. Louis.
After DR.. Ravold had imported and
propagated the bacilli he employed his
brother for $19B to dump them into the
drainage canal.
The barrels were placed ON two fiat
cars and transported to Lamont, Ills.
Meanwhile the cowboy had already
gone to Lamont and became acquaint-
ed with the situation. When the bar.
rels arrived he alone and unaided roll.
ed the entire 107 barrels to the drain
age canal, opened them and poured the
contents into the canal. He worked
quietly all night and the watchman
found the empty barrels along the ca.
nal bank the next morning.
Ravold then returned to st. Louis
and has since been living here. The
facts in the matter were kept secret
until after DR.. Ravolds testimony be-
fore the drainage canal commission
recently, and Dr. Ravold finally con-
sented to relate the details.

Washington, March 19.-There were
but few senators in their seats when
the senate met today.
Mr. Morgan introduced a resolution
which recites that it is the duty OF
the United States to take action that
will cause the abuses Of the powers of
taxation to cease; that there should
be free trade between the United
States and the insular possessions
that the interest bearing debt should
be extinguished; that corporations
employed for the purpose of monopoly
are subject to the control of congress
and that congress should make vigor-
Gus use of such powers.
At 1893 the senate went into execu-
tive session and Senator Foster QIa.)
took the floor on the Cuban reciproc-
ity treaty. He began the delivery of
q carefully prepared speech in oppo-
sition to the treaty. He contended
that the effect of the proposed re-
duction in the duty on Cuban sugar
would be to enhance the profits Of the
manufacturers, and consumers would
not be benefited in the least by it..
Senator Burton (Kan.) offered an
amendment giving corn, corn meal
and wheat -four the benefit of the go
per cent reduction ON American goods
imported into Cuba, and the commit
tee on foreign relations has indicated
It's intention of adopting the amend
ment It is believed an early vote
