Washington, Jan. 8. —A throng of persons of note assembled yesterday to attend the ceremonies incident to the dedication of the Washington public library. The event occurrcl in the auditorium of the new library. The participants in the exercises in cluded the president of the United States and Andrew Carnegie, the do nor of the building. The library building is a beautiful white marble structure occupying tiie center of Mount Vernon square in the very heart of Washington. For its construction Mr. Carnegie dona ted $:!50.000 and as an architectural ornament it is quite equal to the gov ernment buildings of the city. The dedication exercises lasted scarcely an hour. After the bishop of Washington, Kt. liev. Dr. Satterlce, had pronounced prayer, President Roosevelt made a speech. In a brief address H. B. MacFar land, one of the commissioners of the District of Columbia, turned the building over to the board if library trustees. President Noyes responding on behalf of the board. Mr. Carnegie said that he had given, chiefly within the past two years, ~;o library buildings. During July last, 270 applications for library buildings were received by him from all parts of the English-.-peaking world. When he arrived in New York last month [ from Europe he found awaiting him I applications for 450 additional build | ings. To-day he has on hand l;sj new applications, making in all under con ! sidcration now m-orc than 800,"the 1 great majority of which." lie said, "will, no doubt, be jfiven." j Mr. Carnegie after t.iie dedication of tiie .library said that lie was so well ' pleased with the new library and the use made of his gift of o')."i0,000 and | the provision for the -support of the library that he would donaie another $3.">0,000 for the erection of branch li braries on the same condition as the original gift, namely, that the city provide the sites and arrange for the support of the libraries. A HOLDUP GAME. Greedy Foal Ilea ten* 4 aline Trouble in 4'lilea;;o .MaiMilaetiircr* Aisii lor a Special Jury to Act on tile Situation. Chicago, Jan. B.—The committee np ,| pointed by the Illinois Manufacturers* association to pursue the investiga tion into the causes of the coal fain , ine in this city, called upon States At torney Deneen yesterday and urged upon him the advisability of empan eling a special grand jury to act up on a volume of evidence collected, tending to show illegal methods em ployed by coal dealers to raise the price of coal. "There can be 110 question about the manufacturers' legal rights," said Mr. Deneen, when asked about his . 1 probable action, "if they have the | necessary evidence. The exact nature lof the facts the committee has in I hand, however, I do not kno.v. We I discussed the general scope if tl.e j case and the law bearing upon it. As ;to whether there will be a special j grand jury called I cannot say." The action of the committee fol lowed a meeting earlier in the day. at which replies from a large number of manufacturers throughout the ,-ity to a letter sent out by the association, were considered. Chairman Eekert declared that the complaints of the manufacturers were almost unani mous to the effect that coal could not ] be secured from dealers, even where I purchased under an ironclad contract, except at an almost prohibitive price. "There seems to be plenty of coal," Raid Mr. Eekert, "but the dealers are holding it back in the yards of the railroad companies until they can get I their price for it." The letters, he said, convey the idea that many manufactories will I be compelled to close unless the sit | nation shall be relieved. Many large I firms complained that they had been ; compelled to pay ft.so to s•> a ton for softcoal contracted for ats2.7o a ton. REIGN OF TERROR.

Philadelphia, Jan. 7.—Twenty-two men, all but one of whom were em ployed in and about the coal mines, appeared before the anthracite coal strike commission at its first session in this city yesterday and recited the oft-told tales of persecution because they chose to work rather than join the strikers. The single exception was Charles 11. Seliadt, of Seranton, the sheriff of Lackawanna county. The sheriff, in direct examination Raid, among other things, that he is sued a proclamation shortly after the strike was inaugurated, calling upon | ail persons in the county to keep the peace; that it was difficult to get men to act as deputy sheriffs; that in most cases, where there was trouble, It was usually over when he and hi> men arrived; that he attempted to keep the peace in all localities and that the disturbances became so nu merous and serious that he had to •all 011 the governor for troops. Sheriff Sehadt was then turned over to the miners for cross-examination, fo the surprise of most persons Mr. Mitchell took up the examination. The sheriff said lie had employed 10 or :>o deputy sheriffs and admitted ' flint they were paid by the coal com- j panic-, lie could not say that a gen- I era] state of lawlessness existed in the county, but said there was a reign of terror in existence in some ' localities. lie said that as a rule crowds dispersed when he ordered them to d<> so. and that striking mi- ! ners whom lie knew obeyed his orders the same as other persons. He also admitted that the second contingent of troops sent into his county was ordered there without his request. This appeared to satisfy President! Mitchell and then Mr. Wilson took the witness in hand and asked him why the county did not pav the deputy j sheriffs. The sheriff replied that the j companies had made the request fori protection, and counsel for the wit ness explained that it was the law in Pennsylvania that the company ask-I ing for protection was compelled to pay for it. The explanation rather surprised Chairman Cray, who said; • "I am not familiar with such an un-American law. When the county or the state relinquishes the duty of maintaining and protecting life and property and keeping the peace, then 1 they are open to criticism." Philadelphia, Jan. S.—The non-union : men continue to occupy the attention of the coal strike commission in pre- | senting evidence of lawlessness in the I anthracite coal region during the strike. The testimony yesterday in cluded many acts of violence, from ; murder down to plain assault and ; petty larceny. Philadelphia, Jan. !).• —The principal eat lire of the proceedings before the •oal strike commission yesterday was the exception taken by President Mitchell to a remark made by Chair man Cray that he would like to see the Miners' union come up out of the mire that is around the baser parts of it. into the sunlight. The miners' president said that the union should not be indicted unless a connection could be shown between it and acts of lawlessness. The head of the com- \ mission replied that he did not wish to (indict tin- organization, but hoped it would disentangle itself from the violence and lawlessness committed during the strike. Witness (iinley testified that wit-' nesses were averse to coming before the commission because they were afraid of losing their positions, lie told of one instance where a man was refused work because lie appeared be fore the arbitrators, and the com mis- j sion made a note of it and said an in- I vestigation would be made. The wit ness said that many of the coal and iron police were of bad character. Some had served time in jail and were hired a- guards as soon a.s lib erated from prison. Philadelphia, Jan. 10. —After occu pying eight days, during which time they presented about 150 witnesses, the non-union men who are a party t'o the arbitration agreement closed their case yesterday before the coal strike commission. The principal witne--i before the commission was Lieut, Gov. liobin, senior brigadier general of the na tional guard of Pennsylvania, (ien. Cobin was in command of the Third brigade during the time the troops were 011 duty in the hard coal fields, lie was im the stand three hours and a half, and during most of that time was engaged in a recital of the con ditions as he found them in the ter ritory lie covered. The now fanions "shoot to kill" or der L-ueil by him after his soldiers had been at kicked by stones, wan touched iijm 111 by Mr. Harrow, coun sel for the millers.

In this portion of the works were located the stamping room with 100 presses, the tinsmith department, the Japanning depart ment, the artists' aepartmcnt and the wrapping rooms where tinware is made ready for market. About .100 men, women and boys were in t.he building. There was a rus.h for the elevator and the stairs, and in a terrible crush, scorched and snvoke begritned, they reached the street, but none seriously injured. The fire burned furiously for hours, the firemen being utterly unable to cope with it.

The loss is $.100,000. The firm is practically tin* only stamping firm in the Dominion and also one of the largest In America. DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT. Tile Fuel Situation Im tin? Oiil> !!!»- turbine IClctiicitl. New York, Jan. 10.—li. (I. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Collections are notably prompt at (ill leading centers, bearing testi mony to the strong financial position of the nation's industries at the opening of the new year. Distribu tion of merchandise is heavy, and manufacturers are pressed for prompt delivery. Orders for spring goods come forward freely, and in many lines there is more than a am ple business in fall weights. Tardy deliveries in the past lead purchasers to anticipate requirements more than heretofore, and orders are being placed far in advance of actual needs. The fuel situation is still the one seriously disturbing element, render ing abnormally high the cost of man ufacturing and restricting the pur chasing power of almost the entire population. Fortunately, this comes nt a time of exceptional prosperity, or there would be a general contrac tion of consumption in other lines.
