    THE FCR ANTON TlttBTTNE-MONDAY MORNING. JANUARY 1 4, 1895.

Business That Will lie Considered at
Sessions of Congress.
SENATE FAVORS INCOME TAX
Republicans Have Dccldod to Largely
Support tlio Mcusuro Mearauguun
Cauul Hill Drags-Bogus Butter Will
Cause Trouble In the House.
By the United Press.
Washlnirtan, Jan. 13. It is confident
ly expected that the urgent deficiency
bill will be out of the Way before the
end of ibhe week that opens in congress
tomorrow. There -will be a number of
speeches on the income tax from vari
ous Republicans, but there will be no
effort at undue delay nor will ithe Re
publicans countenance filibustering.
Despite the opposition of Mr. Quay,
wiiidh has necessitated several roll
- calls, and ithc llht tlhalt Mr. Hill is mak
ing, as soon as the Republicans have
made the speeches arranged for they
will have a vote on the bill and will
largely support the appropriation. Sir.
Cockrell expects to see the vote taken
by WdmeMday and says the bill will
haveatileurit fifty votes out of the total
voto of eilghlty-llve as the senate now 1
Btamds.
The Nlcaraguan canal bill Is still the
unfinished busLness. The pension, mili
tary academy and fortification appro
priation bills have all been reported to
the senaite and Mr. Cockrell expects to
call them up aa fust as possible. The
canal bill, while retaining Its right of
way, will probably yield to the appro
priation bills When they are called up.
The 'Interest In the senate this week will
center about the room of the finance
committee rather than upon the pro
ceedings of the Moor with one exception,
Mr. Uorman'a promised speech on the
financial question, which was to ihave
been delivered on Saturday, but will
probably come oft .tomorrow.
The Bogus Butter M ar.
In the house during the first morning
hour devoted to committee business the
Ciout bill to make oleomargarine,
butterlne and other substitutes for and
initiations of dairy products subject to
the laws of the state Into which they
may be transported will come up and
Inevitably precipitate a parliamentary
contest. There remains but one hour
for its consideration under present call
of committees, and opponents of the
bill profess their ability to prevent Its
passage within that period. Should the
Mil fail to reach a final vote at this
stage, Mr. Hatch will doubtless appeal
to the committee on rules for a special
assignment.
There Is already a tremendous pres
sure being brought to bear upon the
committee on rules for orders for the
disposition of bills. Requests have
been preferred on behalf of enough
measures to take up all the remaining
time of the session, save that which will
be required for disposing of the ap
propriations bills and. the bills called
up In morning hour by the' several
committees.
Among these measures which, ac
cording to a member of the commit
tee on rules, are likely to become the
subject of favorable action of the com
mittee on rules are the bills to provide
payment of the French spoliation
claims; to provide for the re-adjustment
and refunding of the Pacific rail
road Indebtedness; to erect public build
ings In accordance with the recom
mendations of the committee on build
ings and grounds; to provide for the
more speedy settlement of claims aris
ing under the Howman act; the free
ship bills and the bill providing for the
re-classification and re-arranslng the
salaries of postal clerks.
THE STARVING MIXERS.
Destitution That Exists In the Hocking
Valley Declared to Be a Blot I pon the
State of Ohio.
By the United Press.
Columbus, O., Jan. 13. A gentleman
who resides In the Hocking valley and
Is pretty familiar with the condition of
the miners there, was here today.
He says the miners have been In
destitute circumstances for some time
and that the matter was reported to
the officials of the United Mine Work
ers, but '(hey practically Ignored the
matter, probably because they did not
comprehend the real truth.
When they failed to itake action, the
miners themsnlves Appointed commit
tees, who for 'the .last two months have
been going quietly about the country
soliciting a!id, which they claimed was
for Hoekling Valley railroad men who
lost their situations by reason of the
strike on that road last summer.
This, the genitli-man claimed, was
done In order that the public might not
know thait the miners were In Impover
ished circumstances. The gentleman
said ihe ihad heard ft charged that the
United Mine Workers of illllnols 'had
advised that tlhe maDter bo kept from
the public, but he doubted the truth of
'this.
So far as known they have not at
tempted to do anything for the benefit
of the sufferers. He further says the
destitution In the Sunday, Creek val
ley completely overshadows that In the
Hocking valley or In aind about Nel
Bonvllle, where the first appeal came
from. He 'thinks the destitute there
tvHl "have ito be oared for till spring at
iaast.
A newspaper man, who has just ar,
rived from the scene, says the desti
tution Is widespread, and that no writer
could draw a picture horrible enough
to do the. matter Justice. He says It Is
impossible to conceive how such condi
tions could exist In a civilized coun
try, and that It is a disgrace to the state
of Ohio, which will not soon lie blotted
out.
The well-to-do citizens In the Impov-
HIGHEST
eiished district charge that much of the
suffering there can be traced to the
drinking habit. They suy many of the
miners in prosperous times seem to
have no other desire than to enrich the
salooon-keepers, and make no attempt
to prepare for adversity.
The .better class of miners admit this
Is true in a great many Instances1, but
the wives and children of such men
who .re the real sufferers now are
not reporuslble for this condition. But
while these charges are made, those
making them proclaim 'that this is not
a time to Inquire after cuuse. The ef
fect alone must be considered.
AFFAIRS AT HOXOLILI.
Gcorgo Young Says That There Aro I n
mlstukable Evidences of a Revolt In the
llawullan Islands.
Cy the United Press.
San Frauolsco, Jan. 13. Oeorge H.
Young, who arrived here on the steamer
Australia from Honolulu with F. M.
Hatch, minister of foreign affairs of
Hawaii, says It was generally under
stood among the padsevigerg that Mr.
Hatch's mission concerning the cable
was merely a blind. The real purpose
was to convey to Minister Thurston, at
Washington some Important dis
patches that the ministry was afradd to
trust to ithe mall. There are unmistak
able evidences, says Mr. Young, of an
Impending-revolt In the Islands, and the
provisional government Is seriously
alarmed. It is believed the dispatches
to Thurston are iln the nature of a re
quest tlhat a United Staites war vessel
by sent to Honolulu Immediately.
Mr. Hatch, in an Interview today,
states that the object of his visit Is to
see whult aid the American government
will give in laying a cubic between
Honolulu and San Francisco. He
thought the conspiracy recently discov
ered amounted to nodhing and, al
though there tire now no war vessels
at the islands, he did not fear a rising.
READY FOR INAUGURATION.
1 innl Orders for Ceremony and Parade.
Have Been Issued.
Hartisburg, Pa., Jan. 13. There Is
nothing nowl to be done save wait for
pleasant weather to Inaugurate Oover-nor-elect
Hastings. The joint commit
tee of the legislature In charge of the
Inaugural arrangements and the chief
marshal have issued the final orders
for the ceremonies and the parade.
General Hastings spent the day quiet
ly at the relsdenee of Mrs. Richard
J. Hnldeman, attending the Pine Street
Presbyterian church this morning with
Mrs. Hastings. At 1.20 tomorrow they
will be the guests or Governor and Mrs.
will be the guests of Governor and Miss
Pattison at the executive mansion. The
Inaugural ceremonies will take place
at the capltol at 12 Tuesday. Chief Jus
tice Sterrett will administer the oath
and Rev. Mr. Houek, bf Hazleton, will
make the prayer. The Inaugural ad
dress will be comparatively brief.
From 6 to 8 the Governor and Mrs.
Hastings will give a dinner to the mem
bers of the cabinet and their wives,
who will assist In receiving at the pub
lic reception in the evening.
INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
The anthracite coal sub-committee Is
preparing data which embraces the
working days of the different collieries
and the coal mined for several years
past, and is making good progress, all
difficulties considered.
The great Brooks Locomotive works
of Dunkirk, X. Y., have sold about
$1,000,000 worth of locomotives to the
Kstrata Ferro Central Railroad com
pany, of Brazil, running out from Rio.
The order covers sixty locomotives, of
which sixteen have already been
shipped.
Slope No. 14, of the Lehigh and
Wilkes-Barre Coal company, has a
brigrhit future before it. Although ISO
tons per day is now its output. It will
be (increased to four times this amount
wDthin six months. The slope 'is at
present 373 feet deep and after the work
men (have cut through a pillar in which
fthey are blasting at present. Contrac
tor Hughes will put to work a large
force of rockmen to continue the slope
into the Buck Mountain vein.
It is suggested by several persons In
the anthracite coal trade, says the
W'Hkes-Parre Record, that there might
be a rtlturn of good rtimes for them, it
A. A. McLeod were put In charge of
the mining and selling. While a great
many persons found fault with some of
his methods, they admit that there was
never a time wihen they fared so well
in regard to She price obtained, as dur
ing his manag.Mnr-nt. The committee of
three to adjust line tonnages Is all very
well, ithey say, but what U needed Is a
higher price for the commodity and ho
Is tihe only man who has given a high
price In recent years. Jt Is suggested
ffiiat they could afford to pay him an
annual salary many times that of the
presldont of the United States.
Engineering and. Mining Journal:
"Just n.w there seems to be an epi
demic of good sense raging among an
thrnclte coal producers. The market,
though dull, Is firm. Everybody is re
striding and shipments during the
week ending Jan. S amounted to only
M5,fii4 tons. Producers tare apparently
in the pro'per mood for adopting and
maintaining any sensible, practicable
scheme. We Te loath to believe that
this may prove to be only the calm that
precedes u storm. The Pennsylvania
Rajfroad compa.ny has ihad a represen
tative at the luct two meetings, and
Mr. Roberts, we understand, shows
more dlspiwltton to. be governed by the
actions of his competitors, although his
company's attitude may continue Inde
pendent. The Pennsylvania is noting
much like the other companies In the
matter of reaMctlon amd prices Just
now." And this means a good deal to
the coal trade.

t
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Pittston, Pn.. Jan. IX Re-orga
nize the old board of trade. That
sounds well and Is well Let no
time be lost In getting together tho
citizens of this city and organize or
rather re-organize a board of trade.
We have facilities which many manu
facturing towns, both east and west,
would be proud to claim as theirs. We
have the advantage of the abundance
and cheapness of fuel, which Is a great
Item In the manufacture of all classes
of goods. Our fuel, in comparison with
that used In other statesfis of double
value as it will generate more
steam per ton, and the cost here
per ton Is nearly the same as that of
the bituminous coal after the expense
of transportation has. been added. Be
sides, It is free from smoke, or nearly
so, which is another advantage for
manufacturing purposes over the soft
coal. Our facilities of transportation
are numbered among tho best, extend
ing north, south, cast and west; from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from
the northern border to the Gulf. It
would give employment to the many
Idlers about our streets, and encourage
ment and cheerfulness in our homes.
It would bring about a weekly pay sys
tem and aid In the disposition of our
dreaded credit system.
The young America of West IMtUton
are of the ingenious and progressive or
der. As the snow was fast disappear
ing from the streets, some few days
sinoe, taking with It that ever-enjoyed
sport of youth, coasting, the people's
attention was attracted by a very' un
usual spectacle, the Inventor and pro
moter of which will, in all probability,
if he follows out the course already
pursued, become president of the
United States, ambassador to England,
representative at Hawaii, burgess of
his native town, or some other Import
ant office where Ingenuity, pluck and
brains are required. Mounted on the
back of one of man ever-faithful
friends, a horse of innumerable years,
was this embodiment of Ingenuity.
Three ordinary hand sleds, on which
were five or six boys of the neighbor
hood, were attached in succession to
this motive power of the quadrapedal
order. By the shouts and gesticula
tions all were hugely enjoying the sit
uation, even to the old horse, which
with head and tall erect galloped off
up Wyoming avenue.

TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many paN
rons tluit they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling S'l RICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers ara
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and Mill allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling haa
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
