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. - - HALLSTEAD. 'Arthur Wiley, or Hlnghamton, spent Sunday with his mother In this place.

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. - Philadelphia Tallow Market. Philadelphia. March 23.

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.
