Senators Vest and McPherson made ! personal explanations in the senate this week concerning charges made against them, in a New York paper, ot having speculated in the stock of the sugar trust on their knowledge of w hat the sugar clause of the tariff bill was to be. Sena tor Vest said: "I may as well say now, once for all, that such publication as tliis is a vile slander, and the man who repeats it a wilful ami malicious liar." Senator Mcpherson said that lie did sometimes buy stocks, for investment, not speculation, and that when lie was in the south some weeks ago his brokers, acting under a standing order to buy cer tain stocks when they could lie had at certain prices, bought 1,000 shares of sugar stock for him. As soon as lie re turned and learned of the purchase lie instructed his brokers to sell the stock and to buy no more, as lie did not wish to hold it while sugar was being discuss ed by the finance committee. Postmaster General Bissoll doson't ac cept any halfway business from contrac tors under his department. The presi dent of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com pany was made aware of this fact, this week, through an official notification that the contract between the govern ment ami his company for the transpor- ! tation of mails between New York and the Isthmus of Panama, and between San Francisco and the Japanese and Chinese ports, made under the subsidy act of the notorious billion-dollar con gress, would bo cancelled, because of the failure of the company to comply with the terms of the contract. Mails will continue to he sent by steamers of this line, but only the usual prices will be paid for carrying them, instead of an ex , tra subsidy of §1 a mile for all the dis tance covered. Washington, Marcli !), 1894. It seems difficult to convince the Re publican senators that they do nut pos sess all of tlie parliamentary knowledge and skill in that body, but they were very cleverly outwitted by the Demo- j erats this week in a scheme of their own j putting up. A Republican caucus do- j cided to spring the immediate considera tion of tile Bland bill for the coinage of ! the seinoirage, which passed the house last week, on the senate, counting upon the votos of the Populists, and upon j forcing the silver Democrats to choose between tariff and silver, their idea be ing to keep tlie Bland hill before the senate for an indefinite period, in order to prevent consideration of the tariff bill. Several Democrats learned of this programme and gave the Republicans a surprise they have not yet recovered from, by taking the initiative in getting the Bland bill before the senate, Senator Voorhees stating that as it would prob ably be about ten days before the tariff bill (now before the full finance commit tee) would be ready for the considera tion of the senate, and that the time was ample for the disposition of the Bland hill. Senatoi Sherman made an ineffec tual effort to have the Bland bill sent to committee. The usual bids for the soldier vote were made by tlie Republican members of tlie house during the debate on the pension appropriation hill. It was tlie old, old story. Tlie house Democratic caucus held this week to consider tlie advisability of making some change in tlie rules, look ing towards an easier way of getting and keeping a quorum, accomplished noth ing because it was not itself attended by a quorum. There is one way in which tlie Democrats of the house could largely increase their popularity, help the party, and always have a quorum—by simply attending tlie sessions of the house; but this seems to have been entirely over looked by some of them.

I PICKED UP BY THE WAY.] THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE TOWN AND VICINITY. Matters of a Local Nature Written I'p and Placed Itefore the Headers of the "Tribune*' ly the Saunterer Something Here May Interest You. While in town last week, | George H. Pierce, of dclphia, grand recorder of the Knights of Malta, of this state, was shown around by several members of the order. [ Seeing St, Mary's Greek Cath olic church, its prominent posi-1 tion on the hill making it con-] Kpiruous to visitors, he expres sed a desire to view its interior. The pastor, Rev. Gulovich, j readily consented to open the church, and Mr. Pierce mani fested considerable interest in j what lie found therein. The I similarity of many of the em-1 blems of his order with figures ] | and designs which he found in j the church were very notice- ] I able, and as it was the first! | church of that denomination ] which he had an opportunity j ; to visit Mr. Pierce was very ! thankful for the courtesy \ shown him by the priest. He ] expressed great surprise at the I I elaborate and costly decora-' j tions contained within the j j building, and stated that his visit to the church was an in structive and entertaining one. Among the candidates who 1 are seeking the position of sec- I retary of the middle coal field j poor district is our townsman, B. F. Davis, the well-known ] flour and feed merchant. The j hoard is composed entirely of Republicans, and as Mr. Davis J has been a stalwart supporter of each of the present members, as well as being one of the j leading lights of his party on j the North Side and an active worker in every campaign, his friends feel that his services I are worthy of recognition and the position of secretary is as little as his party could con sistently offer him. Being a | thorough business man and qualified in every particular his claims ought not he passed by lightly at the meeting of the poor board, and it is not J probable that they will if worth j and party work count for any thing in making the selection. I It has been so long since i Freeland was given a call by burglars that the visit paid the town last week should cause merchants and residents to give a little more attention to the locking up of their prom ises at night. Some people are so careless in (his respect that j it is a wonder there arc not more of these night raids carried on. | Doors with insecure locks, open | transoms and unfastened win | (lows are common along Centre ] street, and business men can |be found here who will ac- I knowledge that their doors are ; sometimes left unlocked all j night. Thoughtlessness of this i kind is a temptation to mid | night prowlers, giving them i easy access to such places, and | should a gang of professional house-breakers arrive here they j could clean out the town in a ! short while. The warning con tained in the burglaries of last | week may have its effect in ] making people more careful hereafter. SAUNTERER. Hotter Inflection Needed. From the Philadelphia Times. While the victims of the Gaylord mine squeeze are still entombed and no in quest or investigation into the cause of the disaster lias boon undertaken lie would be rash who would undertake to fix the blame olt band. The frequen cy of these fatal caveins in the Wyom ing coal field gives rise to the unreasonable suspicion that the system of leases and royalties to land-owners under which the bulk of the coal in this field is min ed is primarily at fault. The lessors receive a certain price per ton for all coal taken out and the closer the coal is mined the greater their royal ties. They employ so-called mine ex perts to look after their interests and these men encourage the robbing of pillars. After a shaft is once opened it is also to the interest of the lessees to take out the largest possible amount of coal through it. Between these two ! greed-inspired interests the safety of the | miners is likely to receive scant con- I sideration. j It is certain that only the most effec : tive and thorough legal inspection and supervision will render the eallingof the miners anything like a Bafe one when j such conditions exist. ■ lad to Shut Down a Slope.

In some of the gangways and breasts men could not work for two and three days at a time owing to the squeeze. To the present management this state of affairs is not due, however, hut is laid 011 the shoulders of the of ficials who conducted the mine the first three years it was opened. They put men to work robbing pillers as fast as the breasts were being worked up and the consequences are now vividly illus trated in the present squeeze. Messrs. Long and O'Donnell, the pre sent officials, are capable men. They have done everything possible to put the slope in a safe condition, hut pre vious management by unqualified super intendents was too great and the result is a general suspension'of work. During the suspension men will be kept at work timberingand strengthening the weakest places, and in the course of a few weeks the slope will he in condition to resume operations. About seventy-live miners and laborers are thrown out of employ ment. The Republican Slate.
