UNCONVENTIONAL SAYS KNOX.
Opinion of Rate BilI Expressed in
 Maiden Speech.

Washington March 2S.-Mr. Knox made his first set speech in the senate to-day. He spoke on the railroad-rate question and dealt almost exclusively with the legal features of the problem. He indicated several provisions of the house bill which he considers unconsti- tutional, and also expressed the opin- ion that MT. Bailey's amendment de- priving the United States circuit courts of the power to grant temporary in- functions would not stand the test of the courts. This speech was awarded the most careful attention, and at it's close the speaker was very generously congratulated by his colleagues.
 When MT. Knox concluded the senate entered on the consideration of the con- ference report on the bill regulating the final disposition of the affairs of the five civilized tribes of Indians and much objection was expressed to many of the changes. Some of these were criticised on the ground that the con- ference committee had transcended it's authority in the insertion of new mat ter. There was a renewal of the dis cussion of the disposal of the coal lands In Indian territory, and several sena- tors, including Messrs. La Toilette, Clark of Wyoming, and Tillman, ex- pressed disapproval of the conference provision authorizing the secretary of the interior to lease the lands.

CONSULAR SERVICE IN
 THE ORIENT IN BAD WAY
DISCLOSURES BY ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATES IN-
 VESTIGATIOM

Grave Misconduct on the Part of
 Former Consul General GOOdnow at
 Shanghai, Ex-COnsuI General McWade
 at Canton and Consul Williams at
 Singapore - Eighty-twO Charges
 Against GoodnOw, Some Serious and
 Some sIight-McWade Guilty of
 Drunkenness.
 Washington, March 2S,-The president to-day transmitted to the house of rep resentatives in response to a. resoiu- tion introduced by Representative Will Hams of Mississippi, the report of As sistant Secretary of State Herbert H. D. Peirce. regarding the consular ser. vice in the Orient. The message was accompanied by a letter from Secre- tary Root, in which he says:
 T wish to call attention to one feat ure of these reports. They disclose grave conduct on the part of two con- suls formerly occupying important posts in the East. These consuls are no longer in the service I regret to say, however, that Hnere are indications of other cases of misconduct or inefti- ciency among consuls in various parts of the world"
 These cases, the secretary says, show the necessity of a regular inspection service. An occasional inspection visit is quite insufficient.
 This is especially true" he says, "Where the agenfs of a great business organization like the service are Scat tered all over the world. Consuls in the tropics and in the Orient, free from the restraints surrounding their life at home and subject to no inspection, are very apt to become inefficient and in some cases to become corrupt"
 While he criticizes the employment of English consuls at some places and the age of some American consuls, his se- we're criticism is reserved for ex-Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai( ex- Consul General McWade at Canton and Consul Williams at Singapore,
 The charges against McWade, former consul at Canton, are drunkenness, em- ployment of felon, an issuance of fraudulent Chinese certificates, extend ing protection to Chinamen who claimed to be American citizens, perse- cution of American citizens for purpos- es of revenge, and corruption in office.
 The charges against Former Consult General Goodnow at Shanghai are eighty-two in number, some serious and some slight, Some are sufficient to support suits at law and give evidence of corrl1ntion in office

NEW PROPOSITION PUT
 ID COAL CONVENTION
TO RESTORE 1903 SCALE FOR TWO FEARS INSTEAD
 OF ONE.

Joint Conference of Miners and Onera-
 tors AdjOurns Until This Afternoon .-Miners' Convention will Consider
 Question Meantime-Rest of Yester-
 day Devoted to Debate--Mitchell
 Charges That Many Mines Are Owned
 by Roads and Profits Are Not shown
 on Coal Companies Books.
 Indianapolis, March 2S.-The joint conference of the coal miners and oper- ators of the central competitive district adjourned to-day until tomorrow aft ernoon, with no apparent settlement of their wage differences in prospect.
 A motion to continue the present scale for two years made by the oper- ators was defeated by the solid vote of the miners. An amendement to Presi- dent Mitchell's motion to restore the scale of 1903, offered by F. l.. Robbins of the Pennsylvania operators, to make the restored schedule effective for two years was accepted by MT. Mitchell, subject to ratification by the national miners convention, which will meet tomorrow morning to consider the question.
 This was the only action taken dur ing the day. The rest was argument during the course of which great earn estness on the part of the miners and both factions of the operators was shown. President Mitchell charged that many coal companies are owned by railroads and the profit on coal is not indicated by the books of the coal companies as much as it is absorbed by the railroads He announced that the miners would continue in the future to ask for more wages if the market justi- fled, and stated positively that the min CTS would adhere to their demands for an increase at this time.
 R. R. Hammond said the complica- tions of the coal situation would never be understood by the public until they had been examined by a commission and he was willing that the differences should be settled by a commission.

TRADE DISPUTES BILL.
British Attorney-GeneraI Introduces
 Measure to Define Rights of unions.

London, March 2S.-The Trade Dis putes bill, which is a direct outcome of the Taff Vale decision, which held that trades union funds are liable for the H. legal acts of individual members of a union, was introduced in the House of Commons this afternoon by the attor- ney-general, Sir J, Lawson Walton. In explaining the features of the measure, he said that the recent court decisions had seriously curtailed the usefulness of trades unions. Their undoubted rights of peaceful pursuasion had been cut down to the point of extinction, and funds contributed to proyNle against sickness and lack of employment had been held liable to meet claims based on the repudiated acts of unauthorized officials.
