THOSE Cl'BAN KESOLITIOXS
No Prospect of o Kcport That Would Be
Satisfactory to lloth Houses of
Congress House Proceed-Ings-Oiher
Notes.
Washington, March 23. The Cuban
resolutions took the course today in
the senate to which the current of the
debate has been drifting for some time
past. That Is. the conference report
was, on the motion of Mr. Sherman
himself, disagreed to; and the senate
insisted on its asreement to the house
substitute for the senate resolutions
and asked for a further conference.
The same conferees on the part of the
senate were reappointed. Senators
Sherman (Rep., Ohio), Morgan (Dem.,
Ala.) and Lodge (Rep., Mass.). This
disposition of the question does not.
however, remove It entirely from the
continued consideration of the senate,
for two resolutions were introduced to
day which will keep the matter alive.
Independently of the action of t)ie con
ference committee. The first was n
Joint resolution by Mr. Mills (Dem..
Texas). It directs the president of the
1'nlted States to request the uovern
ment of Spain to grant to the people of
Cuba the power of local self-government,
and (In case the government of
Spain shall refuse) to take possession
of the Island of Cuba and to hold it
until its Inhabitants can institute such
government as they may wish to or
ganize and equip Biioh military forces
as may be necessary to protect them
from invasion. Mr. Mills is to speak
on this Joint resolution tomorrow.
The second was a concurrent resolu
tion introduced by Mr. Piatt (Rep.,
Conn.). It expresses the earnest desire
ud hope of the senate that Cuba may
soon become a free, Independent and
republican government, and requests
that the friendly ollices of the United
States shall be offered by the president
to the Spanish government to secure
such result. This concurrent resolu
tion was referred to the committee on
foreign relations. The legislative, ex
ecutive mid 1ilflif.ini nnripiinfln !.... l.m
.. j ..... . ',.i 'j.i 1.11 i.rji .1111
was taken up und considered for up
wnrds of two hours, some thirty out of
l".ri pages being disposed of.
" The session of the house today was
given up to District or Columbia busi
ness; but the district calendar was soon
cleared up und the remainder of the
session was s:ent In the consideration
of a bill to modify the exlstllng law re
garding the punishment of crimes com
mitted under federul jurisdiction. In
volving the death penally so us to al
low a sentence to prison for life. After
a three hours' discussion the passage
of the bill was frustrated by a point of
no quorum made by Mr. Barrett (Rep..
Mass.) and the house adjourned until
tomorrow.
In the mornlnsr hour bills were
passed authorizing the construction of
various bridges; authorizing the leas
ing of school lands in Arizona: exempt
ing logging trains from the law requir
ing patent couplers and air brakes.
The senate today In executive session
confirmed the following nominations:
James M. Beck, to be United States at
torney, and James It. Hellly, United
States marshal for the eastern district
cf Pennsylvania.
EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
'Senator Hale, leader of the opposition
to the Cuban resolutions, eatd this af
ternoon that he did not- bclievo the.
conference could agree upon a report
that would be satisfactory to both
houses. He rather looked upon the Cu
ban matter as finally disposed of. and
said that It would probably now be left
where It should have been left from
the start, with the president. This
course would, Mr. Hale added, sub
serve the public good. With that out of
the way, congress would proceed with
the appropriation bills and when they
were passed would go home. He pre.
diets an adjournment as early as the
middle of May.

THE ST. CLAIR
Big Schuylkill Corporation Will Soon
Begin to Ship Coal.
A SCKAXTOX ENTERPRISE
Tho Pottsvills Plant Vnder Direction of
Scranton Capitalist Will Commenco
Operations in tho Near future.
Description of the Workings.
The Pottsvllle Miners)' Journal an
nounces that the St. Clair Coal com
pany's big operation in Schuylkill
county will Boon begin shipments.
This comoany was organized by
Messrs. D. K. Taylor. Y. W. Paterson
and William II. Taylor, of Scranton.
who some time ago acquired a large
and valuable tract of coal land near
St. Cluir. Since July last they have
been making extensive Improve
ments at and near St Clair. Near Sil
ver Creek dam this company owns a
large body of coal that has been de
veloped bv a slo!e 1,250 feet deep, on
the Buck Mountain vein, and their
gangways are now In about 12 feet of
line coal. A railroad, constructed last
summer, runs from this opening to a
point about midway down the old
Johns busln. where the company have
about 600 acres of excellent coal. At
this point a large boiler plant was
erected and furnished steam for a com
pact and handsome pair of hoisting en
gines. Contractors Hush and Molurk
are sinking a large shaft to the Buck
Mountain vein, which is here nearly 12
feet thick and lies almost flat and In
excellent condition. This work, the
Journal saj-s. will be linlshed within
thirty days. The coal hoisted from this
shaft will with the coal from Silver
Creek slone. be taken over a railroad
and delivered to the breaker. Two lo
comotives of the well-known Dickson
Manufacturing company's make will
move the coal over this road nearly
four miles long. Near their breaker,
one nnd three-quarter miles from their
shaft, a water level drift has been
opened 011 the Buck Mountain vein,
and Is now In 1,000 feet. Here the
vein Is found to contain over six feet
of very line coal. ThiH drift will be
continued until it reaches the shaft and
will drain the entire property of water.
These three openings are expected to
furnish a large quantity of coal.
TUB NEW BREAKER.
The large new breaker, now under
going the finishing touches, Is expected
to be complete and up-to-date In every
respect. The coal cars are delivered at
the breaker by gravity, und when
dumped the empty cars are hoisted
over a car hoist high enough to return
them by gravity to the foot of their
plane. The coal, when dumped, passes
Into a long chute, In which are three
sets of bars. 2Vj-inch space, the line
coal passing through the bars and the
coarse passing over them to another
set of bars 5'i-lnch space at the end of
the chute. At the bottom of the chute
the large luin'is go to the upper plat
form where they are examined nnd
passed to a large set of crush
ers, inches in- diameter uy
48 Inches long. Coal passing through
the 5-incl) space is carried by
gravity to a lower platform where
it is carefully' examined and picked.
Into the large crushers goes nil
pure coal. 1'nder the lower plat
form, tnklng the coal going through
the r.'u-liich apace. Is a pair of rolls 30
Inches in diameter and :Ui Inches long
Into which goes pure coal. The coul
passing through the first crushers goes
over n set of bars 2'i-lnch space, the
coarse coul going to the lower platform
to rolls. The coal passing through
these bars goes under this set of rolls
to a counter screen 6 and 8 feet In di
ameter and 12 feet long, together with
all the coul that passes through the
rolls under the second or lower plat
form. The impure coal from both these
platfcrnis Is carried by gravity to a
third pair of crushers. 24 Inches In
diameter by 20 Inches long, and
is reduced to broken Rlze, then
passed through . a pair of bone
rolls, 24 Inches diameter hy 24
inches long, and reduced to chestnut
nnd smaller sizes. This, coal Is then
elevated and discharged to a pair of
shaking screens, sized and passed over
automatic slate pickers to the pockets.
The counter screen sizes broken and
egg coal. The stove and smaller sizes
are passed to main screens (shakers),
where they are separated and passed
over automatic slate pickers t. the
pockets. The broken and egg can be
rebrokeu if desired by a pair of rolls
27 Inches In diameter by .16 Inches long
and placed at the head of the main
screen for that purpose.
TO BE ENLARGED.
Going back to the top of the breaker
we find the coal that passed through
the 2Vj-lncli space In the bars In the
dump chute, falls into a large pocket
and Is discharged Into a screen fixS
feet In diameter and 24 feet long.
Broken, egg and stove coals are pre
pared In this screen. The broken and
egg coal Is hand-picked and passed
either to pockets or rolls' at the head
of the muin screens. The picked,
doubtful and bony coal la telegraphed
to the crushers and rdlln nenr the bot
tom of the breaker, stove coal Is passed
over automatic pickers to the pocket,
chestnut and smaller sizes go to n
shaker whre they ore separated, the
chestnut and pea parsing over auto
matic pickers and to the pockets. It
is tho intention of the management to
build another wing to this breaker,
plans for which are now under way.
Then all pure coul will lie prepared and
handled on one side and doubtful nnd
bony on the other, where Jigs will be
used to handle picking from all auto
matic pickers. The breaker is equip
ped with a line of elevators. 00 feet
high, for elevating the lip screenings,
doubtful and bony coal and for re
handling all condemned coal, which Is
frequently a -.rource 'of tnuch trouble
n.nd expense, but which l here expected
to be reduced to a. minimum, a pit hav
ing been preparell under the breaker
Into which all cool can be dumped, then
elevated to the top of the breaker, to
pass through the sizing and picking pro
a second time. In the addition to be
cess n second lime. In the additl m to be
with a screen for the imroose of re
sizing all pickings before they go to
th jigs.
T. it. Griffith, of PlttVon. is the de
signer of the breaker, and James Kres
sly. of Wilkes-Barro. the contractor
building It. The Finch Manufacturing
rrmpany, of Scranton, furnished the
breaker machinery, boilers, fans nnd
fan engines, and the Vulcan Iron
works, of Wilkes-Barre. the hoisting
engines at the shaft. The St. Clair
Coal company Is officered and managed
by William II. Taylor, president; W. V.
Paterson. vice president and general
manager: P. E. Taylor, treasurer, and
Edward P. Klngsbnry, secretary.
-II-
Therp was talk In the anthracite coal
trade last Saturday, according to the
Philadelphia Times, to the effect that
no change would be made In prices as
long as the various state legislatures
remain In session. The adjournment
will come some time in April, and It Is
possible .hat this will be followed by
an advance of 21 cents May I. If pro
duction is kept down to 2.000,090 tons
during April, the scarcity of tonnage
will force such appreciation, giving it
the appearance of being natural. There
is very little talk of any cringe In freight
rates. 'Most of the coal roads are haul
ing on a basis of Si. 25 per ton.' The
Lackawanna, which advanced its rates
to $1.45 last October, after the sharp
fall rise, still maintains that figure. -

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS.
Wall Street Review.
New York. March 23. The bears on
stocks were more aggressive today than
for a long time past. The failure of the
Rock Island to increase its dividend, a
little selling for foreign account and
the debate In the senate on the Cuban
question all had a tendency to assist
the bears in their work of depressing
prices. The decline, which ranged from
to 3 per cent, was most pronounced
in the rUangers, Louisville and Nash
ville, General Klectrlc, Jersey Central
and Chicago Gas. Burlington and
Qulncy was ulso affected by statements
that the February report will make a
poor showing. Chicago houses were
liberal sellers of the stock; St. Paul sold
at 75a74, ex-dividend of 2 per cent,
and Northwest lost about a point not
withstanding its favorable February
report. Louisville and Nashville was
sold freely by arbitrage houses and ran
off nearly two points. Tobacco and
Sugar were the features of the Indus
trial group. The first named advanced
per cent, and later receded to 82a
S'iVn. The old stories about a settlement
of the war were again circulated and
again denied. Sugar ruled strong in
the -early dealings and moved up to
117U. The rise, however, brought out
offerings of long stock and the price de
clined to llS-alie. Chicago Gas and
General Electric, while Inclined to
weakness, were by no means active.
The belief that the Pacltlc Mall, com
pany will be awarded the old subsidy
by the trans-continental lines, stiffened
the stock for a time, but later It fell
from 27" i to 26a26. Near the close the
selling by the bears abated aud under
covering of short contracts, prices ral
lied Via?i per cent. Louisville and
Nashville and Tennessee Coal led In the
late recovery. Speculation closed
steady to firm. Net changes show
losses of VJa2 per rent. Sugar gained
tand Tobacco on the day. The total
sales were 173,60 shares.
