Miners and Operntnrs.

New York, April 1.-THE counter
proposition OF the anthracite operators
that the anthracite strike commission
consider only two Of the miners de-
mands; namely, rates of wages aud an
adjustment Of complaints by the board
OF Cancellation, will be rejected by the
mine workers in its present form.
The counter proposition Of lhe operators
included many restrictions and limiIa-
lions that are altogether Objectionable
10 the miners.
The miners scale committee meet to-
day at the Ashland House to consider
this latest reply of the operators to the
demand for arbitration, aud it was in
Dictated this morning that a counter
proposition will De drafted which will
be presented to the operators at the joint
meeting tomorrow.
The operators say today that the stu
alton is with Mitchell aud his mon, and
upon them depends whether or not there
shall be peace in the hard coal industry.
The miners point out that the opera
tors, by astule working OF the propo-
stion that the anthracite strike commits
sion be requested to arbilrate the silua-
ton, have lost to the miners one mem
Der of the commission who was great
friend Of the mine workeTs-Bi Bishop
Spaldng, of Peoria. The bishop has
recently suffered severe attacks Of paraly
sis aud is consequently unable to serve.
A clause in the operators proposition
prevents any one from serving in Bishop
Spalding's place, and as the Bishop was
appointed on the commission by Presi-
dent Roosevelt at Mr.. MitchelPs request,
they think it only fair that the President
be asked to appoint some one 10 his
place. This request will doubtless be
incorporated in the miners counter
orDpositiOn.

Senator Bailey's Argument.

As stated in the Gazette of that day,
Senator Bailey made notable speech
in the Senate yesterday iu defense of
his theory that Congress has the author
ity to forbid inferior courts to grant in.
terlocutory DEGREES.
Senator Bailey contends that Congress
has the right to provide that no court,
except the Supreme Court of The United
States, shall have the power to suspend
an order oi the Interstate Commerce
Commission until the case has been set
tied in the courts.
He asserts that Congress has the pow
err under the Constitution 10 create,
regulate and abolish inferior federal
courts, and can. therefore, control their
procedure.
Senator Rayner in his speech de-
declared that the rate bill woul have to
contain Court-revieW feature in order
to make it constitutional, But he sug
gested that this be limited by prOhil =
iting the courts from suspendiDg orders
of the commission pending zeal decision
by the courts.
The validity Of this proposition was
attacked by Senators SpoOner aud
Kuox, and Mr.. Bailey's speech was in
reply 10 their contention that Con
gress could not limit the jurisdiction
or fix the procedure of the federal
courts

ALTHOUGH Easter is but a few days
off there has been little, if any, egg

desire something more strenuous. 1t is
safe to say that not dozen kites have
been flown in this city this year; but
little top spinning, while marble playing

TE AND VIRGINIA ADVERTISER.

A tremendous torrent of water and
stones is now being belched forth from
the side crater of Vesuyius toward the
interor of the peninsula and this is even
more dangerous than have been the
ceaseless showers of ashes aud deluge Of
stones. 1t is impossible to tell yet what
damage has been wrought by this new
prank of the volcano.
Reports from Somma, Nola, and Otta
jana say that fresh earthquake shocks
have been felt this morning, adding to
the horror of the situation.
Ottsjano has been absolutely blotted
out of existence by the eruption. Two
hundred and fifty corpses have been
found there already. The village of
Hoggio Marino is also buried 10 cinders
The lava flowing down the southern slope
of Vesuyius has reached POmpeii and
threatens a repetition of the historical de-
stru ;tion of that city.
Trouble is threatened in some of the
stricken villages by the difficulty of pro-
curing food and the fact that prices have
gone up alarmiugly since the eruption
began. At Agovasova serious demon
STATIONS have aieady occurred as the
thousands of starving villagers are
greatly agitated over the increasing
prices of provisions. Military reinfor e.
ments sent there found the town per.
feet inferno. One demonstration was
caused by the employees of large to-
baccO frctOry who refused TO work be-
cause they feared the root Of the factory
would break owing to the accumulation
of ashes. The workmen rushed into the
street where they held an excited demon
stratlOn. Men from other factories joined
them aud there have been disturbances
all day.
BY the steady exposure of the people
to the ashes and dust which has fallen in
Naples many persons have been render
ed totally blind.
The mental depression of the people
keeps pace with the physical gloom
which hangs over the city. The refugees
from stricken towns who are here are
engaged in parading The streets praying
aloud and braring lighted candles,
crosses and piciuIes of the saints in the
procession.

For THE past thirty-6ve years the
government of Great Britain has owned
and operated the telegraphs. At the
time they were taken they were paying
private owners a profit of $l,7lO,OOO a
year. The correspondent of the New

was 81, 6l0, 600 excess expenditures over
receipts, besides 81, 1853, so in interest on
the purchase money, making net loss
of $5,96S, 500" All of which, says
the Philadelphia Record, goes TO show
that about the worst possible manage

This statement, which has been copied

however, that preachers would Wish to

WEDNESDAY EVENING. APRIL Il. 1906.

In THE greatest speech of his car eer,
Senator Bailey, of Texas, delivered yes
terday his forensic broadside or the rate
bill. He had promised TO discredlt
Senators Knox and SeoOner as lawyers
aud statesmen. The effect upon the
Senate was evidence that at least he had
overwhelmed their efforts. So complete
wac his refutatiOn OF their proposition
that Congress, while ha7ing the power to
confer upon or withhold from the courts
Jurisdiction. cannot also declare that the
courts shall not issue iDjunctiOns in
specified cases, that Senator Hale rose
in his place and declared solemnly, not
AS one carried away by enthusiasm, but
as one convinced by incontroyertible
facts and logic, that the argument OF the
Senator from Texas could neither be en-
swered nor disputed. 1t was one OF the
few speeches the Senate has listened to
that actually affected votes. 1t was
made plain as Mr., Bailey proceeded, from
the manner 10 which the Senate hung
upon his words, that the whole situation
was changing, until with his conclusion
and the outburst of enthusiasm which
followed-an outburst the Vice Presi-
dent did not attempt to check-it was
felt that he had made the adoption OF
his amendment to the rate bill not only
possible, but exceedingly probable. As
to Senators Knox and SPooner, great
lawyers a. they are considered, the man
from Texas showed that they either were
unfamiliar with the authorities or mis-
represented them.

the action of the divorced wife and asked
for writ of cerIiorarl to the Supreme
