These children will have such a Christmas as they never expected, as all moneys and neces sities required have been generously ten dered The DisrATCH fund tor distribution. Success is assured, and the pleasure in this announcement will certainly be lelt equally by the thankful children and the many kind donors. In just the proper time, several contribu tions came in that made the fund what it should be. The following telegram ot a most pleasing rature was yesterday re ceived from Mr. Frank Hatton, the gener ous and enterprising proprietor of the Washington rosi: Washixotoit, D. C, Dec 22. The Dispxtca: Tlie Pott lias received nearly $C00 for Homeste id children, TV 111 you receive and disburse it with your fund? Fraxk Hattox. The TUanks of Homestead Children. An answer was at once given that the sum would be added to tbe fund, at the same time conveying the thanks of the seedy children in advance for the generous act It is interesting to note in this con nection that the Homestead children them selves were instrumental in securing the above sum. The Dispatch has been printing from time to time some ot tbe most pathetic letters irom these poor children. Many made some cute requests, while many more bravely asked only for necessities and thought they might do without toys this Christmas. The "Washington Post repro duced most of these letters, thus attracting attention and resulting in a fund for the honest, little hearts that made such plead ing request". A Hundred Pairs of Shoes. Among other donations yesterday might be acknowled that from W. jr. Laird, the "Wood street shoe dealer, who kindly turned over to the grand total 100 pairs of chil - dren's shoes amounting to over 5100 in value. This gift was in addition to an other 00 pairs he had already donated to another fund. J. "W. Haney, owner of many transfer wagons and a pioneer in that business has volunteered free service and the transportation necessary to take the goods to Homestead. The Edgewood Presbyterian Sabbath, school has given two boxes of tors, cloth ing and books. The Eintracht Singing So ciety, of Homestead, has given their hall j a. place of distribution, and, in fact, all wlo have been appealed to have responded 10 tbe chord of human sympathy touched by the little ones need. The distribution will take place in the hall mentioned Saturday afternoon between the hours of 3 and 6 rfhen a joyous scene will be witnessed. I'eople Who Hare Already Responded.

In Dravosburg there are 175 heads of fam ilies idle this Christmas on account ot the miners' strike. The apparent fact that they were making almost none of the usual preparations for celebrating tbe holiday was a pathetic showing in itself of the straitened conditions in which these families find themselves, and there is still another sad feature of the situation. The men are so close-mouthed and de termined in this fight that they have made ;,o complaint of being in need, but personal nvestigations quietly made indicate that he struggle is pinching many of them for be necessaries of life, and that the present fuffenng among them would be much greater t ere not those who have a little something 10 spare dividing it with those who have 1 othing in order to carry on the conTst for ' hat tbev grimly contend are their rights. There will be less merry-making in Cravos i.urg this year than ever before in the later History of the place. t malting a Christmas at Homestead. Through the efforts of Lodge No. 14, of the Amalgamated Association, at Youngs town, $120 has been raised among the iron- orkers there and forwarded to the needy ones at Homestead as a Christmas contribu on. Probably as much more will be sent to-morrow. The rollers of the several mills constitute the relief committee engaged in (the collection of fund there. A SUSPENSION OF MIXING In the Uocklnj; Valley, Owing to tbe Execu tive Board's Action. CotusiBUS, O.. Dec. 22. Spteial The circular preparedby the Executive Board of the Ohio miners with reference to the recent attempt and failure to arbitrate the price of double-sbift entry-driving in machine mines, was promulgated to-day. The miners asked lor 50 cents per cubic yard extra, the same, as they claimed, is paid for the double-shift entry-driving in pick mines. The operators offered to give 25 cents a ton extra, and then agreed to sub mit it to arbitration. Afterward they claimed the basis of srbitiation was wrong and relumed to allow more .than 12 cents extra. The Executive Board in its circular says: As to what action yon snould take In .this matter, wo wonld advise tl-utall entry work in maclilno mines cease at once, until there is a proper adjustment of the entry question in machine mines, Dotli single ana uoudib shllt, knowing that present prices aid in machine mines are not equivalent to that paid in pick mines, thereby giving the tna cnine opi-rutm a ccldea advantage in entry work: and that ynn Insist before you resumo drivlim those entries that one-half the regu lar j ardage price paid in pick mines he paid in machine mines, knowing that on Decem ber 23, in the city of Shan nee, a convention oi the miners both pick andmaohine, ot the counties of Athens, hocking and Perry, will be held to consider the best Interests of both pick and machine miners. Upon receiptor mis yoiiTjiu can meetings anu coiiiuei cuielnlly the best policy to pursue, so that at said convention wo may bo enabled to take such action as will bring to the mine who lias performed his labor in good taitU that winch is Justly due. This practically amounts, to a suspension of miniug in the Hocking Valley lor the present. ETJIfE IK HEW YOBK HABB0E. An American Schooner Ban Down br a BIS British Steamship. New- Yoke, Dec. 22. There was a chap ter ot accidents in the harbor to-day, and it was strange that there was not a great loss ot life. The most serious was the sinking of tbe American schooner Wild Pigeon by the English steamship Energia in Swash Channel, just test of Homer Beacon. Coming down the Swash Channel Captain Lust, of the Wild Piseon, saw the big steamship Energia taking the same course. The Wild Pigeon had the right of way, and to continue on bis course Captain Lust had to cross the bow of the steamship. Tbe Energia kept on her course and struck the Wild Pigeon a glancing blow. "Without stopping the Energia headed back to Keir York, according to Captain Lust. The ord nance steamer General Wool picked up the schooner's crew. The Energia was badly damaged about the bows.

A Local Committeo Can Improve on the River Commission liill. NOfr ENOUGH MEMBERS ON IT NOW. Pittsburg Tislrict Most Important Mast Ee Represented. and EXPENDING $1,000,000 EACH TEAE The River and Harbor Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, with other business and river men interested, will heartily co operate in the Work of pushing the bill pre sented to Congress from Indiana for the ap pointment of an Ohio river commUsion. They will, however, ask for one or two amendments necessary to Pittsburg's inter est. The Chamber of Commerce had ap pointed a committee to assist in drawing up and presenting a bill for deepening the Ohio, but has now rather been forestalled by the action of Congressman Parrett, ot Indiana. The Parrett bill only asks that five mem bers constitute the commission, and it is here the change will be asked by local busi ness men. A Government Majority. In all bodies of this kind it is necessary that the Government have a majority, and if only five men constitute the commission, three must of necessity be United States engineers; while the remaining two will be drawn from civil life. It is argued that a clash will occur in the apppointment of these two members of the commission, as each district will desire a representative in that body who will work for its'own interests. The rivet length to be covered is 967 tailes long, and it is pro posed to divide it into three separate dis tricts. The Pittsburg, or upper district, will ex tend, to the mouth of the Big Kanawha, 2C3 miles away. The middle, or Cincinnati, district extends to Louisville, and covers a distance of 337 miles. Then the lower, or" Loutsville-Evansville, d'stricf, extending to Cairo, is 367 miles long. Should the bill go through in its present state, but two of these three districts can secure civil re pre-, sentation on the commission, and it is argued some difference is certain to arise in their appointment. To Change the Number. For this reason local men interested are making preparations to propose an amend ment increasing the number of commission ers from five to seven. This will give the United States representatives four mem-, bers, or a majority of one, while each of the three districts will also have a civil representative in the body. Pittsburg, being the upper and more shallow district, is the most important of the three. That reason alone, and not counting her tre mendous tonnage, will cause tbe men hav ing the affair in charge to insist that she be represented. Cincinnati and the lower dis trict will also demand that they be recog nized, and in order to avoid all differences it is altogether likely that these districts will heartily combine with Pittsburg in asking an increase in the number of com, missioners. A Mississippi river commission has been in existence ever since 1879, while a simi lar body was appoipted to oversee Missouri river improvements in 1884. Tbe commer cial interests of the Ohio are far greater than the Missouri: yet her improvements have -been in the bands of really no author ized hotly. 81,000,000 a Tear. In speaking of the necessity of such a commission. Colonel T. P. Boberts yester day said tne importance 'Ot water as a means of transportation is just being real ized. "Over $1,000,000 is being spent eah year on the Ohio river," said he, "yet the work is so slipshod and patphworky that tKe benefit do not compare with similar work when done svstematically. Water transportation in tbe United States is go ing to engage national attention more and more, and the Government must take more care of her inland navigation. As affairs have been on the Ohio every Congressman puts in hiscyttle plea for appropriations or improvements. nc is inicrestcu oniy iu pleasing his constituency in securing cer tain local improvements, and pays no at tention to the general good. Under a com mission everything will be done system atically, and a wonderful stride will be made no doubt. "It is said that Congressman Parrett, of Indiana, has secured strong 'assistance to push his bill, and If it goes through witn our amendment this city will be benefited more than any other. (Senator Quay is quoted as favoring the bill, as are also Con gressmen Dalzcll and Stone, and petitions are being sent to Washington from all Ohio river points asking that there-be no delay in its passage."
