Trouble In the Red Asli Vein of H12 Woodward Mine, Near Kingston. 800 Employes Idle. Wllkes-Barre. March 26. A squeeze In the lied Ash vein of the Woodward mine near Kingston has been going on for tile past twenty-four hours and to night it began to extend towards the foot of the shaft. The'rlpplng and tear ing of the pillars of coal has become so general that the inside ofllcers or dered all the men out of 'the mine and by 10 o'clock every miner and employe in the pits below were landed safely on the surface. When the report first went Into the mine that all should come out there was much excitement until the fact was made known. The squeez ing lias beeii located in the lied Ash vein, above the ISennett and the Cooper veins, the latter two being in Imminent danger of being badly affected. At tills writing (11 o'clock) it is im possible for the mine bosses to tell how serious the squeeze or cave-In may turn out to be. It may settle in a few days; and It may extend and involve a large portion of the mine. In addi tion to the squeeze Is confronted with another dlfllculty. The mine is very gaseous and as the splitting pillars and settling of the roof goes on It causes the gas to accumulate In large quanti ties. The fans aie kept under full headway and all efforts will be made to expel It. This mine employs about SO0 men and boys and should work be suspended for a long time it will entail great hard ships in many, If not all their families. THEY WILL CELEBRATE.

A POLITICAL CONTEST OPENED Iilvcly Debate Provoked in the House by '1111 Amendment Authorizing the Admission Free of Articles Pro duced and Controlled by Trusts. Charges itnd Counter Chnrgcs Hurled by Contending Orators. Washington, March 26. With the ex ception of the first hour the whole of today's session was spent by the sen ate behind closed doors; where not only was the arbitration treaty discussed In some of its bearing, but also the party organization of the senate no definite result being arrived at on either sub ject. During the opening session, the civil service commission was subjected to another raking down at the hands of Mr. Gulllnger, of New Hampshire. He said that as his statement the other day about the "hopping" test to which applicants for employment In the gov ernment printing otllce were subjected had been challenged by "Penny-a-liners" In the press nnd by an olllclal of the civil service commission, he had obtained a printed copy of the clicular which contained that and other equally absurd requirements which would, he said, have prevented Phil Sheridan from making himself famous If the civil service commission had got a chance at him, and which would have even shut him out from employment in the government printing ofllce. The circular was referred to the committee on olvll service and entrenchment which Is to investigate the whole sub ject. The Importance attacked to the recent decision of the supreme court of the ITnited States In the matter of the Trans-Missouri Freight Association was evidenced" by the adoption of a lesolutlon to have the decision and Jus tice White's dissenting opinion printed as a senate document In sufficient number to satisfy the general public demand for It. Resolutions of Inquiry were offered and adopted as to the futuie disposi tion of the Union Pacific Railway prop el ty and as to the arrest and Impris onment of two American sailors' In Cuba. A LIVELY CONTEST. The consideration of the tariff bill under the rive minutes rule for the pur pose of amendment which It was ex pected would be strictly business opened with the liveliest political con test of the session, lasting for nearly three hours. It' began promptly on the reading of the prefatory paragraph of the bill to which M. Dockery, of Mis souri, offered an amendment, author izing the secretary of the treasury to admit flee of duty any article the pro duction and price of which was con trolled by a trust In the United States. Mr. Dlngley, Maine, chairman of the committee on ways and means, made the point that the amendment was not in order at that place. Mr. Ualzell, Pennsylvania, made the point that if it were In order as to time congiess could nut devolve on the secretary a judicial duty such as that of determining whether or not a trust was In control of a certain article. This precltated a debate based on Democratic charges that Republicans favored trusts and did not want to legislate against them. All of the leaders on both sides, and some not recognized in that rank took part. Charges and counter-charges were ban died back and forth and the record of the past seven years was searched to 'show the action of both parties on the subject of trusts. After nearly three hours of this skirmishing, the question ostensibly belli? the point of order. General Henderson, of Iowa, appealed to both sides to put an end to it. A point against the amendment was sus tained by the chair, (Mr. Sherman, of New York), and on appeal, his ruling was sustained IBS to 104. Many other amendments having the same objects, to put artbies controlled by trusts on the free list, was offered and on objec tion by Mr. Dlngley all were ruled out of order. Mr. Dlngley stated that when the time came to deal with trusts, the Republican majority would do so mid that after passing the tariff bill, If any thing remained to do frr the public In terest, it would attend to that. In tlie course of the afternoon several changes of duty were made, among them being nu Increase of half a cent In the duty on carbonate of ammonia; an Inciease of from 23 to 40 cents a pound on the duty of sulphuric ether and increasing the duty on the pro duets of pig lead from 2ii to 2 cents a pound. At 5.15 the house adjourned until to niorrowat 10 o'clock, having disposed of nine and one-half of the 163 pages of the bill. YELLOW DOG THAT BROKE THE LAW.

Descending quietly he peered out and saw a large man trying to force open the sash of the kitchen window. Abies then made him get up and at the It was empty so the best he couid do was to jump out the door suddenly and strike him with the end of it. This he did and the fellow went down with a deep gash In his scalp. bls then made him got up and at the point of the tevolver marched h'is man up Linden street to Penn avenue, where he turned him over to Patrolmen Fee ney and George W.

SWALLOW'S OPEN LETTER The Editor Addresses the Governor in Defiant Langauge-A Few Sug gestions Offered. Hanisburg, Pa, Mardh 26. Rev. Dr. S. C. Swallow- this evening ad dressed an open letter to Governor Hastings. In brief the letter, which Is defiant In Its language, says that the governor is cognizant that men in the employ of the state are . wrongdoers and says: "No one knows better than employ of the state are wrongdoers your creatures tilling Important places In the service of the state. Dr. Swal low calls attention to the fact that suits were not brought on all of the allegations of the Pennsylvania Metho dist. "One of our witnesses," the let ter continues, "who was positive at the outset that he knew of fraud In bid ding and of an attempt to bribe him for $300 was shortly after we were sued given a state contract and suddenly be came a know-nothing. Another was given additional state work. Another was labored with by one of the pros ecutors till a late hour of night and went over to the other side." In con- I elusion the letter says: We suggest to jou tho following; First Dismiss, piosecute -and punish the ringleaders. Second Appoint a committee of three citizens, tried and true, to re ceive and act as custodian for any con selence money, furniture or other state picperty that may be returned during the peiiod of restitution, that should Immediately follow such an announce ment. Third Dlvlse some plan for prevent ing tho possibility of such wiong-dolng in the future. "I state that I know when T write that such pruperty Is scattered over the entire state and Is to be found in the homes and offices of politicians, Judges, lawyers, state and national otllclals, otherwise reputable people In all grades of life and also in the house of her whose feet take hold on Hell." Prosecutions for libel will not stop the revolution now In progress and re solutions never move backward. We must be taught by object lessons, if we will not be taught by revelation, that it Is us much a violation of the eighth commandment to take unlawfully any part of the aggregated contributions for public uses of 3,060,000 people or of f.0,000,000 as it Is to take It from one In dividual.

A FREE FIELD FOR THE TARIFF Nothing Will lie Allowed to Interfere With Tliat--Culloin Is Opposed to lools--Tho .Majority of the House Takes thu Side of the Intorstntc Commerce Commission. Washington, Match 26. There is no reason to believe that congress will take any action during the extra ses sion looking toward the passage of a pooling law for the benellt of the vari ous railway lines which may be af fected by the recent decision of the Su preme court against tralllc agreements. Theie are, on the contrary, several reasons which argue against the un dertaking; of such legislation at pres ent. One of these is the general policy of the leaders In the house at least not to transact any legislative business ex cept tlie enactment of the tariff bill, another Is the apparent disinclination on the part of Senator Culloin and other members of the senate committee on commerce to see tile necessity of a law to permit pooling. Colonel W. R. Mor rison, of the interstate commerce com missions Is pleased with the decision, and continues to express his gratifica tion. CULLOM OPPOSED. Senator Cullom, chairman of the sen ate committee 011 commerce, Is opposed to legislation to allow pooling, though tlie fact Is rather to be Inferred from ills manner than from an outspoken statement. He said today that there wus no doubt In his mind that the rail roads were prohibited from mukllig traltic agreements both bv the Inter state conmierse law and by the anti trust law. The recent decision which llxed the latter principle for all time could not be construed In any way but to Include all tralllc associations, he said. The conclusion was, he con tinued, that In order to continue opera tions under joint agreements the roads must be authorized by special enact ment of congress. What congress would do under other circumstances he did not know, but he 'thought It doubtful If the question would lie acted upon during the present session. SOME FAVOR AMENDMENT. A number of members of the house were seen who are in favor of amend ing the antl-lrust law at the earliest pu"sllile moment. Most of them did not care to state their views publicly at the present time, and a still larger proportion of them did not believe that any such action as they desire would be taken at the extra session. Of course a. very large number of the members of the lower blanch of con gress are opposed to any change In the present law, and take the side of the Interstate Commerce commission in tlie controversy. They are pleased with the setback which the "greedy corpora tions" have received, this being espec ially true In the cases of Populist mem bers and those of the free silver stripe. In the senate today Mr. Gray pre sented a resolution to print the recent decision of the United States supic-me court In the Trans-Missouri Traffic as sociation case as a senate document. The senator explained that there was a heavy demand for copies of the deci sion, owing to Its far-reaching Import ance. Mr. Cullom said ho was deluged with telegrams and letters asking for full copies of tlie decision. Every lawyer, railroad man and shipper In the coun try was interested. The resolution was agreed to. BLOWN TO ATOMS. Fatal Disaster at the Repanno Nitro- Glycerine Works at Woodbury, New Jsrsey. Woodbury, N. J., March 26. Three workmen were blown to atoms shortly after noon today by an explosion at the Repauno Nltio-Olycerlne woiks on the Delaware liver front below Lincoln Park, The dead are: Thompson Stiles, Charles Wright, David Hamilton.
