Tiie autliraclto investigating committee,
nfter another day's session at Mulianoy City
examined wituuseos from Shenandoah and
vicinity to day. Tho members of tho com
mission, who are evidently honest iu their
eQorts to make a thorough and comprehen
sive investigation of the condition of the
mine workers, with a view to ascertaining
tho causes therefor aud to apply the remedy,
had beforo thoni to-day many of tho leading
citizens of Shenandoah, most of whom hare
a thorough knowledge of mining. Tho in
vestigation, so far at Shenandoah is con
cerned, has elicited nothing that was not
previously generally known, especially by
the representatives from the coal legions.
THE RECENT ELECTIONS.
None of the newspapers that havo so
elaborately discussed the recent municipal
elections in the West have shown more sense
than the New York Sun. It ax pesos the utter
ndiculousuess of heralding tlieieantl-Kupiib
In an majorities as a popular condemnation of
an administration that has been iu power
little more than a month, or as a rovoll
against a tarltf bill that has not yet been
enacted. The American people may bo un
settled in their political convictions at times,
aud restive under adverse conditions, but iu
none of the great cities are they such fools
as they are adjudged by some of the news
papers of the country, when they call the re
sult ol these Western municipal elections a
popular revolt against tho party, or the policy
of the party, that assumed the reins of
government a little more than a mouth ago.
The contests preceding the elections iu
Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Detroit
attracted little attention outside of those
titles. No general or national political
bigniflcance attached to them.
Now that the solid facts concerning
thee elections, and the causes leading
up to the results, are becoming known, it
only becomes more clearly aud fully ap
parent they had not the slightest bearing on
any national issue or policy, or measure
Analyze tbecaseof Chicago.wherea plurality
of 55,000 for MeKliiley was followed by a
plurality of 78,000 for the Democratic candl
date for mayor, and what is developed Y
Simply that the Republicans luul forced upon
them by an arbitrary local machine a
candidate they did not want; a candidate
who represented methods aud a policy in
municipal goverumont that was Inimical to
the interests of the people and destructive of
honesty, economy and purity. Au iudepen
dent Kepublican candidate was placed in the
field who received more votes than the
regular. The attempt of this same machine,
a few months ago, to force the election of one
of the corrupt gang of aldermen as United
States Senator contributed more than any
tbiug else to the triumph of the Democratic
candidate for mayor. The ltapublican m
chine bosses of Chicago had gone too far, and
the people broke their power. Such are the
solid f.icU of the Chicago "revolution."
In Cincinnati the "revolt" had for its
object the overthrow of what is known as
the "lions Cox machine." The people were
determined to throw oil' the yoke under
which they have chafed. They could do it
ouly by defeating the candidate of the boas.

Washington, April 16. The senate
spent yesterday on the Indian appro

The debate brought out an energetic
speech by Mr. Vest, of Missouri, pro
testing against the abandonment of
sectarian Indian schools. He highly
enloglzed the works of the Jesuits
among Che Indians, and said ttieir In
dian schools were the only ones accom
plishing any good. After a oontest the
committee amendment opening the
Unoompahgre Indian reservation In
Utah to public entry was agreed to.

THE INVESTIGATION.
Testimony Tnken VeHtenlay Afternoon nt
Mnhnnny City.
Prom a Ftuft Correspondent.
Mahanov City, April III. The proceed
ings at the sessinii yesterday afternoon of the
Legislative ciynmtttee appointed to- inquire
into the condition and onuses of the condi
tion of anthracite miners wss productive ef
but twe prominent results. A useless array
of witnesses and, secondly, a seunuceu of
single hi theory by the Irrepressible Mr
(luynan. The hitter Is no dnnbt a student of
what ho advocates, aud is perfectly sincere
In all that lie advances, hut tils enthusiasm
will tarnish his Judgment, If It has not al
ready done so.
Mr. (luynan Is sincere in what he advocitos,
but he is evidently not open to any argu
ments other than concur with his views.
Like Hubert Ingersnll, he lias bis hobby.
The lIfcRAi,fyesteiday reported all the In
vestigation up-to the examination of William
II. James, whose testimony was of a very
uninteresting character, as well as brief.
Samuel Iteynolds vua the next witness and
tho most Important of his testimony was an
explanation of the beneficial fund, which re
sulted iu the statement that there were ii ex
istence beneficial societies that paid the same
amount tmld iu monthly, tint did not pay a
dollar a day to a widow for a year after the
death of the husliand.
Daniel V. l'uley was the next witness and,
In answer to questions, suited that when
there were labor organisations in this region
men received better wages than they do now,
lie said there are no organisations now be
eanse the poor people are afraid to join them.
Q Do you think that If the coal shipped
from hero to tTio market was sold at less
money that there would lie more coal sold
and mined?
A. I believe that.
Frank Qiiiini asked that ho lie called to
the witness stand, its he had been sUiuiltug
too long mid wished to go homo. Ho was at
once called and sivoin, mid allowed to go
upon tho statement that he was 8-1 , years of
age aud had worked In the mines close upon
83 years.
Italph Fisher, a barber of Mahanoy City,
tt stilled that ho was a member of the poor
relief committee aud that between 000 and
700, or about one-fourth tho population of the
town, had been relieved. When asked as to
the cause of the condition ho answered,
"The freightage lor oue thing; and, another
thine, two years previous to this time all
engines undor tho Heading Company have
been burning anthracite coal; now they have
got cheaper methods and run soft coal In
here and burn it in tholr engines.
The witposs testified, that he know Poles
and Hungarians could get a Job In preference
to Americans.
Assoiuhlymcii Dunlap : You stated that the
Heading Cunipauy was burning bituminous
"al in its engines, in prcfcicnco to anthra-
clto. Do you want this committee to infer
that tho bituminous' coal can bo delivered in
Mahanoy City for less than tho company can
produce anthracite?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Then, where is tho trouble in the rase?
A. I think they havo n scheme with the
corporations in tho soft coal regions.
Neil llreunan, Justice of tho Peace, Park
Place whs swoin. He testified that ho heard
an oilicor of tho Lehigh Valley Company had
said that he could buy bituminous coal for
engine use at Delano at 25 per cent, cheaper
than coal could be shipped from the mines in
this vicinity. The main cause of distress ho
thought was that tho corporations who own
and control tho railroads aro discriminating
in freight charges.
In roforonco to company stores J'cnator
Haines asked. Do you buy as cheap there as
in tho Mahanoy City stores?
A, Some articles aro a little up, but, as a
rule, they are snperlor to aiticles we buy
cheaper In tho cash stores.
Q, You said the company store charges a
littlo more for goods, but tho goods are
cheaper, is that true?
A. Yes, sir. I don't moan to say that they
chargo more for all goods. They cbargo the
samo iu proportion as in tho credit stores of
Mahanoy City. In tho cath stores in Maha
noy City you enn buy much cheaper than at
the Park Place stoic, or in tho credit stores
of Mahanoy City, but the cash stores of
Mahanoy City sell an articlo that aro not
near up to the staudard of the credit storo, or
company storo of Park Place,
Q. That is your opinion?
A. No, my experience.
Upon being pressed on the quostion of
prices tho witness said I won t go into
details about prices in elthor stores other
than to say that the company store at Park
Placo is really a necessity, because in tho last
four years the breaker was burned down
twice and thoro were in the neighborhood of
six hundred familiesat Park Placo, aud dunug
all that time they were rebuilding the breaker
the company carried the families through
Those ptople went iu debt uud they have got
to appiociato a thing of that kind. If they
were dealing in Mahanoy City I cannot see
how they would have been curried through,
The witness admitted that the Park Place
Company employed the people in rebuilding
tho breaker as much as It could aud to that
extent the labor was au offset to the credit,
but said that not more than 20 per cent, of
the men employed beforo the firo wero cu
gaged in the election of the breaker.
Thomas Carney tcslllicil that ho was a
saloonkeeper and-Hild on credit.
JameH McCool, of Jacksons, testified that'
he whs tux collector of Mahanoy township
and found difficulty in collecting taxes tho
past year, and it appeared to be growing
worse.
Hon. John Tahaney, of Jacksons, cx-mcm-ber
of the Legislature, took the witness stand
and testified that he was a miner working
fur the P. A R. C & I. Co. and got 80 cents
per car, and Ills working time at present was
averaging IS hours a week.
Q, If your wages lor the last two weeks
were 40 or &0 dollars, what would be tho re
sult?
A. I would expect to be chastised to the ex
tent that I wouldn't have that much pay
again. They may not reduce the price at
that time, hut curb the method of cutting
tho coal and not give me the cars
The witness admitted that It is not the
price coal brings In tbe market upon which
the wages of miners is based, but upon the
amouut of coal they can produce.
William Downey, of Jacksons, mine
laborer, salt! he believed the whole trouble
was that there were too many mines and too

Two questions nsked caused some, laughter,
but Mr. Guynan volunteered no part In the
merriment.
Q. How much do you got a month?
A. Seventy dollars.
Q. Do you think frco silver would better
tho conditions?
A. I do.
.The voluhillly displayed by Mr. Guynan
was st first interesting to the committee, and
to some extent amazing, but when ho ad
vanced the theory of nationalizing the coal
nds, mines and railroads, Senator Coylo
Joined the members of tho committee in
protestations. ,
I believe tbe Legislature can say how
much the land owner should charge," said
Mr. Guynan. The committee diflers with
you there," retorted Senator Coyle.
By the right of eminent domain I believe
the state has tho light to fix the rato of tolls,"
continued Mr. Uuynau.
"We agree with you thorc," tho Mahanoy
City Senator said with a pacifying nod.
Senator Coyle : I would like to have your
opiu on on tho present condition of attains.
What would you suggest as n remedy for the
present condition, outside of tho taking holt!
of the coal lands by the state ?
Mr. Guynau was disposed to indulge
rhetorically, but Chairman Meredith said ho
was obliged to Insist that tho witness glvo a
direct answer, whereupon Mr. Guynan an
swered : "To call upon the corporations that
aro cirrying and mining coal tooboy the now
constitution, that there may ho more individ
ual cntt rpriso, less competition among the
laboring men, nnd less among employers.
Besiuer, v.c have to look after reducing the
tolls and royalties. That can be dono by
state control of tho railroads from the lakes
to th sen,
Q If coal was sold cheaper in the market
would we bo likely to have more consump
tion? A. Yes, I don't boliove thero is too much
coal pr iduccd.
Gooige Hughes was the last witness and
ave nu evidence of any Importance.
At tills point Senator Coyle asked to have a
subpoenas i-ued for mine foroineu and super
intend i ts to show how much it cost to put a
ton of coal into tho cars under tho breaker.
"Before we leave, wo expect to have sales
agents to show what coal is sold for," said he,
"and in that way determine the difference
between the freight charges ou bltumiuous
and anthracite coal,"
Chairman Meredith said the matter would
bo considered iu executive tossion.
