They belittle the possibility of war over complications that may arise, and attribute such talk tn the Jingo newspapers, which Hie disposed, they say, to make a great ado over matters that can readily be adjusted by diplomacy. Several weeks ago the legation here received Information that the Japanese cruiser Mantwa had been ordered to Honolulu, and probably is thare by this time. The object of hav ing a war vessel at Honolulu, It Is as serted, is not a sinister one, but Is sim ply an act by the Japanese govern ment of the light claimed and enjoyed by other countries of having naval . representation In the waters of coun tries where her cltiiens are located, so that in trie event of necessity ample protection may be afforded.

RiiamoKIS, Apr. 30. Two sessions, morn I ing mid atternoon, were held here yesterday by the Anthracite luvestlgatlng committee. 1 Among the witnesses examined weie Sllles IVherty, a prumlnent labor leader; Thomas M. Tighter, coal operator at Mt. Carmel; Poor ; Director James IlaOey, of Mt. Carmel; Wm. ' Itrlttle. of Mahniiuy City, and Daniel F. 1 (Isllaglier, another well knswn lalwr man. Mr. Diiltorty testilled to tho fact that there ' were a number of coninies In this vicinity ! ivbiub am violating the mine law. Ho named the Natalie, Excelsior, Patterson, lloyal Oak ami Colbert as among them. These vlulate the semi-monthly pay law. At tho Colbert he wituexs said the employes leccive cih orders, for which 7 per cent, it charged them At the Kxce'sior t e provision in the mine ventilation act relating to timber is violated. The niliieis are compelled to prepare the timber st their own expense. The witness had notified ilie mine super intendent of thiil vlolatlon.iiud had requested him to remedy the OVil, to which he gave no heed. The miners are only partly organised in this region, the witness said, owing to a fear of discharge, should they bocomo bonded together. Mr. Itiahtor gave some points aoout tue methods of work and wages of the miners. He said tho miners and laborers are employed from 21 to 30 hours only each -week. Tho miners are paid SO cents per car for cutting tho coal. Tho company loads tho coal upon the oars from the breasts freo of charge 'to '.he miners. Laborers Inside aro paid $10.20 per week. Five dollars per month la charged each tenant. His company runs a store at Mt. Carmel. The prices charged for goods at tho company store aro nothlgher than thoso asked fur at individual stores. There is no preference shown to workmen on account of nationality. Outsido laborers aro puld from $1.00 to $1.50 per day pending on tho oharacter of the work. ' lu reply to a question about tlio coal com bination Mr. ltighter gave it as his belief that tho dissolution of this combination would mako matters much worse than they are at presout. Ho said that it cost more to nut coal on the care when tho oolliorios are workine short time than when full time is being made Mr. James llaffcv testified that lie is employed as a miner at the Pennsylvania colliery aud is paid 70 cents per wagon for coal mined. The average Is five wagons per day. Since January last work has very much slacked off. Ho 1ms been earning about $22 por month; not enough to keep his family; much destitution in Mt. Carmel. Mr. Doherty said that preference was given to Polish and Slavonian laborers over other nationalities and uatlvo citizens. These favored ones must employ thelrowu country men, to whom they pay from ft to ?5 per week. Mr. Gallagher testified that he Is employed a.s a miner at tlio Pennsylvania colliery and that lie receives 110 cents per car for tho coal he mines, lie said there was much destitu tion and fur the first time in its history Mt. Carmel has found it necessary to appoint a relief cominitteo. In regard to tho causes of distress he gave as his opinion that there is too lunch land in the hands of tho few and too many workmen. Ho also expressed it us his opinion that pauper labor enters into competition with other labor, thereby crowd ing the latter out. He testified that prices of goods are higher at company stores than at individual stores. He also testified that foreigners aro preferred at tho works, Ho charged that the law relating to tho exami nation of applicants for miners' certificates are violated in that certificates aro issued to applicants after but four meuths' service in the iniues4nstead of two years as required by law. 1 lu recommended that restriction of immigration as a cure for tho proseut ills. During the past 20 years there has been a marked reduction in the price of contract work at the mines, lie estimated tho re duction is fully 50 per cent. Mr. Brittle, of Mahanoy City, was noxt wit ness called. He was formerly a miner, but for the past few years has been engaged in the sale of groceries 011 the road. Ho testi fied that his sales have fallen oil' fully 50 per cent, this year as compared with 1805 for the sauio period of time, and he attributed tho fact to the depressed condition in the coal region. Tho business men aro very much discouraged. He spoke of the coal combina tion as a monopoly. Coal has been advanced iu price $1 per ton in 1800 in Now York. The tolls, the witness thought, were entirely too high. Tlio now coal combine, tho witness thought, lias mado matters much worse than hereto fore. Mr. Brittlo stated that the foreman at tho Xatallo colliery had informed him that it cost his company $1.05 per ton to put the coal upon tlio cars. Tho committee concluded their labors here without ascertaining anything now, or the suggestion of a remedy for the depression that oxists lu tho coal regions, The GIrardvllle Itlot. I he riot on Wednesday at Olrordville is still being discussed by tho people of that town. The scene is being visited by many spectators during the day time.
