"The reception accorded me by the
people OF Toledo and Chicago puts me
under deep sense of obligation 10
them. The discussion of questions OF
government brought forth many sym
pathetic assurances and the American
citizens of foreign birth or descent, OF
whom several great audiences were
composed, seemed especially interest
cd and concerned in the outlines oil
constitutional problems. The spirit OF
optimism, of faith in our institutions
OF confidence one in another, is as
strongly evinced as at any time in the
history of country"

TWO MILLION ARE NOW IDLE
Result of Coal Strike in the United
kingdcm.

London, March 12.-The British coal
strike, which began on March |, when
nearly one million men employed in
the collieries of England, Scotland and
Wales laid down their tools at given
signal, shows little sign of settlement.
Besides the strikers, another million
workers, men and women employees In
factories and mills in all parts OF
Great Britain, have been thrown out
of employment because of the impos-
sibility of obtaining fuel to run the
machinery.
Prices of provisions and all the nee
essaries of life have gone up to such
an extent that extreme distress exists
among the poorer classes,
Railroads have had to restrict their
train service, river steamers have had
to cease running, the gas and electric
supply works have been compelled to
restrict their delivery of illuminants,
the mail services have been retarded,
and many ocean steamers have had
to be laid up in harbors.

sonable Rates-Republican Members
OF Committee Object to Line Of
Inquiry.
Washington, March 12.-Guy M.
Freer, a traffic expert. told the Stan
ley steel investigating committee that
the Duluth, Missabe and Northern
railroad, subsidiary of the United
States Steel corporation, made a re-
turn on its ore charges in 1910 of 240
per cent on its capital stock. The
freight rate on ore was 80 cents a ton
for haul from the Mesabe mines to
Lake Superior,
This rate he considered unreason-
able, but before be was permitted to
answer questions put by Chairman
Stanley the committee had a dispute
| over the competency of his testimony,
which necessitated roll call, the first
vote of record since the investigation
began nearly a year ago.
Objections to questions were made
by the Republican members and the
chair was sustained by a strict party
vote, to 4.
Asked what he thought would be a
reasonable rate MIR. Freer made no
| suggestion The S0-cent rate in 1910
gave the railroads a return of 240 per
cent on their capital stock, after pay
ing all expenses.
That's one of the principal rea.
sons" he continued, that think the
rate unreasonable"
The inquiry was resumed to take up
the transportation phase OF the steel
corporations affairs, regarded by
Chairman Stanley and some other
members of the committee as the
most important feature of the corpo
ration's business as to possible ad
vantage over Independent or compet
| ing steel concerns.
Ore from Lake Superior intended
| for the steel corporation, Mr. Freer
said. was largely carried by the cor
porations subsidiary railroads, the
Duluth and Iron Range and Duluth
Missabe and Northern, from the mines
to Duluth, where II was transferred tC
