The Miners.

Scenes of wild disorder reigned in the
Pittsburg convention of United Mine
Workers Saturday afternoon when Presi.
dent Patrick Dolan played his trump
card aud forced the telers Of late cleo
ton to read their report, which re-elect-
ed him president of the Pitlsbrrg district
foi another year, beginning with April
/, 1906, and also reelected his allies,
Vice President Uriah Belingham and
Secretary William Dodds
At the morning session Dolan openly
defed the orders of President Mitchell,
who had instructed the miners to use the
district money in hiring an attorney TO
fight Dolan's injunction.
Dolan said not cent Of the district
money should 60 for this; he had hired
his own attorney, and delegates who
wanted attorneys should hire them pri-
vately.
1t is the belief now that Dolan's move
of yesterday has completely routed his
enemies, and that he will prevents strike
in the PIttsburg district.
Mr. Dolan, issued statement yes
terday asserting that the position
of the miners at Indianapolis was
ridiculous and attacking National Pref
dent John Mitchell. Mr. u Ian says:
"Let us be honest about these things.
Our wages have been increased more
than 100 per cent. and our hours of
labor have been decreased from 10 to 8
hours since 1897. Is it right, under this
Ryan resolution, 10 jeopardize all these
things? And let me tell you that the
miners of this country have never won

rectiOn Of President Mitchell. Mark

MONDAY EVENING. FEB. 70, 1906.

THE State Senate has seen hit to de-
feat the bill which the House wisely
passed to abolish the Offices OF the five
district school inspectors and examiners.
The arguments in favor Of the bill were
unanswerable, but the Senate believes
in a multiplicity OF Offices. Mr. Fulton,
Of Warren, who favored the bill, well
said
The new system OF school inspection,
in addition TO changing the entire policy
Of the State, proposed change that
was utterly inadequate and inefficient.
II is impossible for FIVE inspectors to
visit all the schools Of the State AND
make an examination that was valuable
in even the slightest degree. The re-
ports they made we're, in effect, the re-
ports made to them by the division gu
periutendents, for it was physically i'm
possible for them to make original In
vestigations of their own covering all OF
Virginia. While the State thus ac-
complished little or nothing from the
school inspection system, it placed a
man between the head of the State De-
pertinent and the division snperinten-
dents.
Every word of this is true, aud the
idea Of FIVE men giving personal super
vision IN the one hundred counties and a
dozen or m IRE cities, is too ridiculous 10
be given serious consideration.

To Sell War stores

St. Petersburg, Feb. IL Russian
authorities have agreed to sell the great
part of the war stores which were col
lected in Manchuria during The recent
war with Japan. An estimate of the
cost of these war stores made recently by
General Lineivitch gives the figures at
5000, 600, 900 A great part of the stores
have deteriorated, however, and are ad-
mittedy useless. This includes s, 900, 0OO
rounds of ammunition and 500, DOC
rounds of artillery ammunition. Whole
batteries will be abandoned, .as they are
unfit for practical purposes.

JOHN f. WALLACE, former chief en-
pineer of the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion. while testifying before the Senate
canal committee last week said that his
principal reason for resigniug his office
was the prominence of William Nelson
Cromwell in camel affairs without any
off sisl status to justify it. He said that
Cromwell had the President ear to such
degree that everybody else was subOrd-
mate to him. Cromwell he considered
dangerous man, because he bad negotia-
ted the sale of the canal property, was
the fiscal agent of Panama and pro-
NOTED the revolution. He had encoun-
tered Cromwell at every stage OF the
game, and when he came home to shake
Cromwell of, it was the latter who met
him at the dock and was present at his
interview with Secretary Taft Besides
all this, Mr.. Wallace felt that Chairman
Shonts, whom he regarded as no engl-
neer and an inferior executive, was en-
croaching upon his (Wallace's) province.
This being so, there was nothing else for
Mr.. Wallace to do but TO resign, though
for doing so Secretary Taft attacked
him severely, saying he was actusted
solely by mercenary motives.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that bills
have recently been introduced in the
Senate to allow the Richmond. Freder-
icksburg and Potomac Railroad Com
pany to secure new charter, which, it
is claimed, would be pecuniarily advan-
taoeous to the stockholders, il is now
said that the stockholders have no in
tenlion at this time OF changing the
com oany's charter and that the bills in
troduced in the legislature are only to
enable the stockholders to make
change in the future if change shall
appear desirable. There is cat in the
meal tub in this matter and If 1t IS not
the intention cat this time" to change
the charter. there is no reason that this
legislature should authorize such a
change The State of Virginia is a
large stakeholder in this corporation, and
that fact has so far greatly aided in safe
guarding the valuable charter rights
which the R., F. & P. Railroad enjoys.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is in this
movement somewhere and this company
does not go to legislatures for its health.
1t has hypnotized other legislatures be-
fore this and the Virginia sOlons, it is
feared would fail an easy victim to its
Establishments The State may expect
bunco il this charter is changed.

EVIDENCE adduced last weekIbefore
Judge Ncol in the Henrico Circuit
Court in the Richmond annexation case
was Of alnature designed to show that the
city of Richmond was not in position
to expand her limits; that she had not
properly cared for her streets; had not
looked after the sanitary condition as she
should have done, and that her munici-
pal officers were seeking to hide some
thing from the general public. One
witness declared that this scheme on the
part of Richmond was only TO get the
taxes from property and return nothing.
If such arguments hold against Rich
mond, what chance on earth would
Alexandria have in an effort 10 annex
territory with SO much unimproved
property within her present limits?

Fifty-ninth Congress.
Washington, Feb. IL.
SENATE.

Mr.. Tillman upon the authorization
Of the committee on interstate commerce,
of which he is member, introduced 10
the Senate today joint resolution direct
ing the Interstate Commerce Commission
to investigate whether any railroads are
directly or indirectly interested in coal
or other products and whether any of
them directly or indirectly limit the out
put OF coal or other products. The
resolution is veri'able dragnet in its
scope.
Upon request of its author, action
upon the resolution was deferred until
Mr. Lodge, who had the floor by preyi-
Gus notice, had delivered a speech on
railroad rates.
Mr.. Lodge declared that President
Roosevelt stood for the principles of a
maximum reasonable rate, with sub
,equent review by the courts. He
characterized the opponents of judicial
review as prophets of q new dispense
ton" and in effect branded as spurious
any rate bill protesting TO carry admin
islration support and approval, which
did not contain such provision, now
being insisted upon by the sO-called
anti-administrstio Senators in commit
tee. Coming as it did, from the Presi-
dents closest personal friend in the
Senate, and at time when the question
OF review is exciting unusual attention,
the speech was generally considered to
be of great significance The Senators
announcement followed a reference to
the Presidents published utterances de-
livered by Senator Knox at Pittsburg
and by Secretary Taft in Ohio
