CONDITION OF THE MINERS.
Legislative Committee Will Uegln Work
Tills Week.
The Legislative investigation into the con-
dltlon of the Anthracite miners will begin
this week. Tho ooinmlMion will organise in
Ilarrisburg ond it is ezpeoted that sessions
will be held lii 1'ottsville, Shamokin, Shon
andoahIInzletou, Pitteton, Wilkecbarto and
Scrauton. The Anthracite commission con
sists of Major J. Roberts, Jr., of Wilkesbarre;
Thomas Dunloy, of Philadelphia, and J. C.
Campbell, of tho House, and Senators Mere
dith and Cochran of the Seuate.
Concerning tho investigation the Wilkes
barre Itocord of Saturday contained tho
following Interview with Major Roberts :
Mr. Roberts was asked what the committed
Intends accomplishing, and ho said: "Tho
commission was appointed for the purpose of
ascertaining the cause of the idleness of tho
thousands of miners, the reason for the few
lays of work, the cause of the general de
pression, and when these reasons are aBcer
taiued to suggest, if possible, remedies for
bettering the eonditlon of tho miners.
"In my opinion the commission will not
accomplish much, if anything. Tho wholo
root and basis of this' doprosslon is overpro
duction, as all well know, and how are you
going to romedy that unless you crcato a
wider market for tho coal ? The depression
is greater now than It has been for years, for
the simple roason that many more factories
are idle than tiere have been for years, and
of course this has a great effect on the coal
markot.
lie also expressed himself as strongly op
posed to the Coylo mine commission bill, as
it oreates too many useless offices, but favored
the measure endorsed by Governor Hastings,
which ho thinks will become a law.

Philadelphia, April E. A meeting
of the local olHcers of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania will be held In
this city this week to urge tbe par
ticipation of the state troop In the
Washington monument dedication on
May IB. Subscriptions for this monu
ment were started In 815, and It has
but recently been comDlffted. Mayor
Warwick has already appointed a com
mute of prominent citizens to arrange
for the entertainment of the visiting
soldiery. In view of the many Induce
ments offered the militia from interior
counties to come to this city, Including
rree quarters, free music and free
mounts for ofitcers, and river excur
sions and receptions for the men, there
Is a strong sentiment against the pro
posed trip of the state militia to New
York to take part In the Grant monu
ment dedication, as It would be Im
possible to make a good showing In
Philadelphia on May IB should the
troops go to New York April 27.
Adjutant General Stewart, after
learning that the New Yorkers will do
absolutely nothing for the entertain
ment of our National Guard, has come
out strongly In favor of the entire di
vision participating In the Philadelphia
parade. A provisional brigade may be
sent to New York, but the preference
of the great body of the men In favor
of this olty will ultimately be recog
nized. The aim is to have a great display
of the citizen soldiery of the state, to
be augmented by detachments from tho
regular army and navy. General Miles
has already ordered a detail of cavalry,
a battalion of foot artilery and a bat
tery of light artilery to march from
New York to this city and go into camp
ior io oars pwor to the Washington
parade. The secretary of the navy will
be asked to have several warships of
the North Atlantic squadron sent hero
for a naval display.

Lancaster, April 6. Hoyal A. Mur
ray, tho 11-year-old son of Jacob N.
Murray, of this city, was forcibly ab

afternoon while he was playing with
some boys close to his home. A freight
train was lying at the station taking
water, and here, young Murray says,
he was seized by two other men, who
placed him on board the train and car
ried him to Glen Loch, near Philadel
phia. The boy managed to board a
freight train, and reached here yester
day. He was Bllghtly injured In
jumping from the train. The police
authorities say that organized bands

recruits to steal or beg for them.

Pittsburg, April 5. Several mills and

and several other organizations will
e drawn into the labor troubles which
started today at Oliver Brothers' Tenth

to work at the reduction of CO cents

to Btart the mill with whatever men
apply. It Is feared trouble will follow.

SKclal Herald correspondence.
llarrtsBurg, April 6 -fieyond the pas
sage of a number of bills on first and
serond reading and a few Anally, but
little was accomplished by the house of
representatives during the few days
they were In session last week. A
number of bills that are on the calen
dar are being worked for very indus
triously by their enterprising projec
tors, with a hope of eventually securing
their final passage. Among those that
are being pushed by their framera are
what Is known as the French salary
bill. Ily the provisions of thlp measure
the salaries of county officials are to be
based on what Is believed to be a more
equltnble basis. Tt provides that the
stat- le divided Into counMes of first,
second and third classes, etc., and that
In a eounty having a population of over
150,000 the district attorney shall re
ceive J4.000 salary, sheriff $6,500, pro
thonotarles Jfi.000. clerk of courts (3,500,
treasurer t4,000, commissioners $1,600
each, and auditor Sfioo Annh.. fi,ia
constitute a county of tho third class.
In a county containing over 100,000 and
less than 150,000, the salaries of the
oounty officials are to be as follows:
District attorney, J4.000; sheriff, $6,000;
prothonotarles, $5,600; clerk of courts,
$3,500; register, $3,500; recorder, $3,500;
treasurer, $8,500; commissioners, $1,200
each, and auditors $380. The counties
of the sixth class are those having less
than 50.000 population, and the salaries
In these are to be: For district attor
ney, $3,000; sheriff, $3,500; prbthonotary,
i,uu; cierK oi couri, i,zuu; treasurer,
$1,500; commissioners, $600 each; sur-
veyor, $190; auditors, $160 each, and 1
coroner, $260. The bill also provides '
that all fees collected by county of- I
ficlals, In addition to their salaries, are '
to be turned over to either the countv I
or state.
Tho Hamilton Itoad Hill.
The Hamilton road bill is now receiv
ing special consideration and is growing
In popularity The objections that have
been made to It In some of the country
districts have now been met when a
comparison Is made between the ox
penaes Incurred In the operation of the
present law. By a careful Investiga
tion It la found Mint tlin Tf nmllttm
senate bill No. 3, will effect a saving
io me taxpayers or $330,831, because
the present system of supervision costs
for the snlarlpA of a san a.
average of $150 each annually, which
makes a total of $181,600. The Ham
ilton road bill would allow to each
Bunervlsor onlv $54 for thn siinorvioinn
of each township. In Pennsylvania
there are 1,638 townships, making the
total oost of supervision under the
Hamilton bill $83,052, while th salary
of the treasurer of the board under
this same law cannot exceed 5 per
cent of the mnnpv tn v nnllonta.1 nr..i
may be fixed at a little lower sum.
nil. .i . .
iiie enure rusu tax in Pennsylvania In
IB-jo amoymieu to $3,023,708. By the
Hamilton bill one-half nf tliia anm
would be payable In cash. If the maxi
mum sum or & per cent were allowed
It would make the salaries of all the
treasurers of the boards of supervisors
In the commonwealth $75,567. This sum.
added to the supervisors' salaries,
would amount to $158,619 as the total
oost of supervision for the state under
the Hamilton law. Thus it is plain to
be seen that, instead or Increasing the
tax on the farmers, a savins would
be effected of $325,881. The present sys
tem of taxation for road purposes costs
13 4-10 per cent for road supervision;
While bv the TTamll
eost only 4 3-10 per cent, thereby saving
j i-iu tier cent to me taxpayers.
The owners of bicycles are very much
exercised over the tntrnrli,ntfr,ti nr i.ni
to Impose a tax on each bicycle In the
uummunweaiin, tne proceeds of which
are to be used for the improvement of
the public roads. They are bringing
very considerable pressure to bear
against the passage of this bill, and
they have verv lust prminri tn-
plaint. They claim that, by the present
ivu.oiei.ui ami extravagant system of
roadmaklng, no amount of money ex
pended would be of much benefit to
the DUbllc roads of the state. They
say they are not opposed to the pay
ment of a tax on bicycles If the state
had any systematic system of Improv
ing the hlSThwavs that waa In an.
keeping with Judicious and substan
tial Improvement, but unless there la
a better system adootert tllAV Will
contend bitterly against imposing any
tax on their wheels.
