UNA II.
coal strike commission had summoned
representatives Of the miners and OPP
orators to Washington, but it has been
definitely ascertained that the reports
from the coal region are correct, and
that the members of the commission
had invited representatives of the min
ers and the operators to appear before
that body tomorrow morning.
The point on which information is
wanted is the demand made by the
miners that they be paid for the coal
mined by weight-as it comes from
the mines and before it goes into the
breakers-and not by measures or by
other process.

Stirred Up Occasionally by q Clash Be-
tween Partisan Statesmen.
Washington, March 4.-Yesterday
was almost a repetition of Monday In
the house. Slowly but surely through
the operation of ceaseless roll calls the
conference reports to complete the nee
essary legislation were ground out. and
when the house at Z p. m. took recess
until 10 p. m. only two conference re-
ports on appropriation bills were still
undisposed of-the general deficiency
and the naval. The Democratic oppo-
sftion did not abate and will not. Dur
ing the debate on conference reports
members on each side got In political
speeches, and several times party pas
sion fared up.
A senate bill to authorize the treas
ury department to provide souvenir
coins for the Thomas Jefferson Me-
mortal association drew from Grosven-
or a protest against any aid for the
construction Of monument to the
''auhtor Of the Kentucky resolutions
Of 1898, which helped to bring on the
war of the rebellion In which 100000
Americans lost their lives" II monu-
ment to Jefferson was to be erected.
he said, 1t should be erected by his
political admirers.
Williams of Mississippi Indignantly
denied that the bill contemplated any
aid from the government The metal
for the coin was to be furnished, he
said. by the association, and the ex-
pressed his astonishment that the au-
thor fthe Declaration Of Independ-
ence and Of the first statute for re-
ligious freedom should be made the
subject Of political diatribe by one
unworthy to loose the latches Of his
shoes" The bill was passed 187 to 8.

ton bill and the general deficiency bill.
This determination was the result of
an announcement from the conference
room on the general deficiency bill to
the effect that the house conferrees
had refused to accept the senate
amendment providing for the payment
of the South Carolina state claims of
$47,245. The senator had a stack Of
books beside his desk almost as high
as the desk, while on the desk was a
volume Of Byron's poems open at THE
Vision of Judgment"
And the Conferrees Had just Agreed.
1T is a just claim, and must go
in,'' he said, ..or 1 will defeat both
the remaining bills and force an extra
session Of both houses of congress. I
can talk until u o'clock tomorrow,
and that Is all that is necessary for
the accomplishment of my purpose"
This announcement came about the
time the conferrees had agreed on the
navalappropriaticn bill, and the states
men listened to 1t very closely. Till
man is a man who is likely to keep
his word in case like this, and he
undoubtedly can defeat any legislation
he chooses In the senate II he can hold
out.
Aldrich's Finaneial Bill Goes Down.
The final defeat Of the Aldrich fnan-
cial bill was witnessed in the senate
yesterday when 1t was displaced by
the Philippine tariff bill. Aldrich ex-
planned in detail his measure. and said
that a small number of men in the
senate had deliberately, with malice
aforethought, murdered 1t. s
Delaware Il Represented.
One Of the features of the session
was the fact that for the first time In
two years Delaware was represented
In the senate. ]. Frank Alice and L.
Heiser Ball, elected for the long and
short terms respectively, appeared In
the senate and were sworn in by Pres
ident Pro TEN. Frye. Besides the two
years that Delaware had been totally
unrepresented In the senate there were
two years previous to that time when
there was vacancy in one of the
seats.
Elkins Roasts His Own Party.
In the course Of the debate yester-
day Elkins declared that the Repub-
Hcan party had been false to its solem.s
pledges in three successive pie forms
with respect to statehood for Arizona,

said that II was the first time that the
party had been guilty of flibustering-
He declared that upon the Republican
majority rested the responsibility for
the defeat Of several important meas
