Wilkes-Earre Record: Mr. rieese, of
j Plymouth has tntroiiuced a lull .n the ieg
irlalurc Intending to repeal Hie law pr i
I viihng fir the examination oi miners in
the unthraeite regions. This law was in-
ae'.ed in 1W and has not proven a kiic
cuks. it compels every one to s-'erve two
years as a laborer before receiving cer
tificates as minus. Men who worked In
the mines la other countries and who
Aere iiiaitii tent to take a breast at once
would not go to loading until the expira
tion of the probationary period.
The flf In Huzle mine slop" is gradually
fating Its way toward the surface, and an
outbrcnk Is feared at the crop of the vein.
The ndditinnul vuit this would give th
tile Is catisinw- nd little npprehi nslon. A
line of four-inch gas pipe has now bee
run from the big pump on the bottom of
No. I slope out to the surface through
Xi slope. Wuter Is being pump
thrrmgh these pipes to the tank which Is
mir-hiag the boreholes, the surface pipeft
being all frozen. The third bore hoff- has
now been started wllh the artesian well
apparatus. The shaft which is being sunk
will open Into Ihe old airway and will af
ford aiidiilonu! means for ventilating the
underground works. It Is impossible to
lell how ad the lire Is In the :iope on a
count of tho falls which have taken
place.
The Philadelphia Tiimiirer evidently does
not wiint the cord trade to be reorgani..'d.
We surmise as much from the tone of lis
market reviews. Witness this: "Tli"
failure of the pooling bill In the senate, if
that measure does no! become a law, will
badly damage the plan uf the anthracite
percentiiRe committee. Thnt body has
embodied In Us rchemc a proposal that
money pool be riirmol, every coniputty
ovcrshippfng its uuota being tuxed or fined
for Iho benefit of those thnt onderslii)
lint pooling bill or no oolbig bill t he r
Is some uuestlon whether the anthracite
roads engaged In Interstate comnierco
will be peniilitiil to enter Into any such
agreement while the attorney general of
tho I'nlled Slates p lu'.ns in h;s mind Ihe
recollection that there Is a slutute com
monly culled the Sherman nntl-trust la.v
and even then there Is some question
whether the receivers of any corporation
will be allowed by tbe court that has
jurisdiction to become, parlies to any
such agreement. The whole business of
Imposing a penally upon any company
that opurates Its mines In response to a
publle demand Is so dangerous that even
If the pooling bill did puss objection would
cortulnly be madu by Ihe slate or by somu
other Interested parly. In theory Ihe
Idea Is an excellent one, and If It could be
carried out the trade would be reguluted
In the most perfect manner possible. Hut
Ihe suggestion Is one that pertains to a
past decade."

bly, under consideration most of the
day.
The question of election frauds In
Alabama wus discussed ut much length
by Mr. Allen (Nebraska) in continua
tion of his speech on .Monday, and was
wound up by the presentation of u pro
test on the part of the two Alabama
senators (.Morgan und l'tiglt) against
the arraignment of their state under
such circumstances. The recent bund
Issue arrangements were denounced by
Air. Stewart (Nevada), who indulged in
direful predictions ns to the future of

The joint resolution was passed.

is It passed the. total was SlllX'fi.S'ii.
Most of today's session was spent in

ment offered by Mr. Tickler, of South

missal of lt'.j cl u ks. This was reject!.

was lost. The committee of the whole,
in which no record of the vote is kepi.

vote on the clerks amendment was
nearly on party lines the Republicans
favoring it and tut Democrats oppos

STOCKS AM) BONDS.
New York. Feb. 12. Affairs at the
Stock Exchange were characterized by
pilot again today, and the movements
In tho leading shares were erratic, yet
on the whole a firmer feeling prevailed
and In a majority of instances the net
hanges for tho duy show gains of ft to
per cent. In the early dealings there
was an udvance of to 1 per cent.,
Manhattan, Chicago (las, Sugnr and
the grangers loading. The market con
tinued firm until advices were received
from Washington that tho senate fln-
inee committee had voted In favor of
unlimited silver coinage. On this the
ars raided the Hut und most of the
early improvement wus lost. In fact.
few stocks like Sugar, Manhattan
and Northwest sold fraetlouully below
ist nlght'H prices. Among the special
ties Canadian Pacific dropped S per
cut. In sympathy with the break at
London. The market closed steady in
He. The transactions were 1114,244
shares. About one-hall' the business
was In Sugar, Northwest und St. Puul.
The range of today's prices for the ac
tive stucks of the New York stock mar

(ACTION
TO our
Washburn-Croshy Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons thut thev will this veur hold to their usual custom
of niillin h l'RICTLY OLD WHKAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
ow in'to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion thut it is alrcudy cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washbu'rn-Croshy Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully threu
months to mature before (rindint;.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s 'flour far above other
brands.
