From WASHINGTON.
C ntinued from first page.l

matters in the State are proceeding &C
cording to law and that the State is CT.
pable of taking care of its Own affairs
without the intervention of the Senate.
Congressman Davis, chairman of the
special committee to investigate the
attack made on Congressman Sims, in
his report gave a comprehensive review
of the laws and precedents bearing on
the case and held that the House had
right to punish Glover. Upon this re-
port, the House directed that he be ar
rested, brought to the bar of the House
and reprimanded, which was done.
Mr.. Davis report in the case is gener
ally regarded by members of the House
as very able paper
That West Virginia pays its coal min
ers the highest wages of any State in
the Union is statement which was
made to the House of Representatives
few days ago by Congressman 5. b.
Avis, of the third district of West Vir-
GINA. II is well known that higher
wages are paid to miners in the United
than in any other country. Therefore,
if the statement of Captain Avis be
true. West Virginia must have the best
paid coal miners in the world. If one
has doubts as to the truth of the state
ment Of Captain Avis he might question
any one Of the 70, 900 miners in West
Virginia, who doubtless will be glad to
know they have a champion in Congress
who thinks they receive more than any
one else for the same kind of work. 1t
has Just cost the State half million
dollars to compel the miners in Kanawhs
county, the home of Captain Avis, to
return to work, which seems to be a
strange proceeding if they are getting
such good pay as the Congressman
would indicate.
The result of the visit of the West
Virginia delegation to Secretary of the
Interior Lane is that the geological sur
vey work carried on jointly by the
United States and the State of West
Virginia will proceed for another year
at least.
While the committees of the House
have moi been named yet, it is forgope
conclusion that Congressman W. G..
Brown, of Kingwood, will be member
again of the committee on Banking and
Currency in which he took very active
part in the last Congress. This COM
mittee is to be one of the most active
committees in the House at this
session, for the tariff and currency
legis alton are the two subjects ~
which the session is to be devoted. Be
sides the Ways and Means committee,
which has had charge of the tariff bill
in the House, no other committee will
have such prominent or important work
before it at this session as the commit
tee of which Mr.. Brown will be a mem
Der. AS soon as the House begins work
on the currency bill it is likely that Mr.
Brown will have to be here constant
ly to assist in pushing the bill along.
In the reorganization of the national
Congressional conmi ttee to look after
congressional elections in the years be
tween presidential years, Congressman
Baown has basn made the West Vir-
ginia member

HIGH OFFICIAL SAYS ARREST MAY
FOLLOW AT ANY MOMENT, AS
COMPANY Is SURE 1T KNOWS
THE ROBBERS.

Savannah, Ca, Sept. 12.-Accord-
| ing to high official of the Sothuern
Express company in Savannah this
morning, arrests may be expected a
almost any moment in connection
with the removal of the consignment
/ of $71,900 from the small shipping
safe destined for the Savannah Bank
and Trust company of this city and
for financial institutions in Bruins
wick, Valdosta and Albany. This Of
fetal in the presence of Mr.. Thomas
]. Watts, chief special agent of the
Southern Express company, who had
just made report upon the cour je
of the investigation which is being
conducted, declared that there was in
the hands of the men who are trailing
the lost sum information which placed
them in a position so that they know
almost to final certainty exactly
who took the large consignment of
cash, and just where it was removed
from the small safe in which it was
sealed in the presence of the officials
and the cashier of the Chase National
bank, of New York, by the Adams Ex
press company. Mr. Watts is in di-
rect personal charge of the investiga-
ton which he is conducting from Sa
vannah.
The fact that Savannah is the base
of operations, however, it was stated,
specifically had no further signifi-
|, canoe than that this was a central To-
cation and the activities of detectives
and special agents, distributed from
Jersey City south could be directed
| With better FACILITY ana ulSpdtch Indtl
from any other city along the line.
Just where the lightning will strike,
however, and when, the official would
not state, nor would he talk of the
probable time to elapse before an
arrest would materialize, he said ii
may be but a few hours or it might
, be a week before an arrest was made.
From his manner, however, and the
general nature of the conversation it
was strongly indicated that he eX-
pected some immediate developments.

The interstate commerce COM
mission has recently appointed a
committee of experts to ascer-
tain the real value of the rail-
roads in order that the commits
sion may correctly pass on the
question of rates. The commits
sion will spend ten millions of
dollars for this purpose and it is
estimated that ten years time
will be required to complete the
work. The system of watering
the stock of railroads has be-
come so prevelant that it becomes
necessary for the interstate COM
merce commission to secure a
correct valuation of the property.
Last year reports showed that
Sc of the northern and eastern
roads had made a net profit of
thirteen per cent. Regardless
of this fact, the roads are clam
moring to increase their rates.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
who sued the editor of the Iron
Ore, published at Ishpeming,
Wis, for libel satisfied the court
and the plaintiff that he was not
a drunkard and obtained a judg-
ment for six cents damages.
The Colonel brought many
witnesses in to prove that he is
a very sober man and that the
charge Of drunkness could not
lie against him. The public was
given another opportunity OF
having the incidents in the life
of Theodore the first rehearsed
in the papers. The Colonel is
a great advertiser.
