GOAL STRIKE SOUMISSION. Taking Testimony of Miners Revelation Thai Surprises Members of Commission. Scran toa, Pa., Dec. 4.--At today's sessions of the anthracite strike com? mission the representatives of the . mine workers continued to call wit? nesses, mostly practical miners, who told ^their story of conditions as they exist in the Hazleton oVmiddle coal fields. The miners tried to show by 36heir witnesses that the Cose and other companies had violated! tho agreement entered into by both sides when the commission was appointed that the strikers should return to work and given their old places back where they had not already been filled. Some of the witnesses called testified that they were not given back their old places and maintained that men prominent in the union in the various localities during the strike were discriminated against. The commission has decided to invite the mine inspectors to appear before them, because the miners claim that the workmen fear to inform the mine inspectors of ?dangerous or un? healthy places in the mines because ?he inspectors ire usually accompanied "by some representative of the company who jnay cause the man's dismissal. This is a new point before the com? mission. Jackson . Am ?bach of the Hazleton region was one of the most interesting witnesses because he ia the first fire? man to appear before the commission. He said he received $1.57 for a day of 12' hours, and his assistant $1.26. Ou every other Sunday,., when he and luis assistant shifted frc m day to night 'yolk, they were compelled to work 34 hours straight withoui; relief. This statement caused a buzz through the court room and every .commissioner straightened up and became more in? terested. In answer to a question put by. the commission he said he was off duty one day every two weeks, thujs working six days or e week and eight days the following week. -Se? James S.". Hnssie," rector of St "Gabriel's Roman Catholic church, Hazleton, said he had lived in the ?coal regions practically ali hi3 life. "The conditions in this region," he said, "are deplorable. The mine workers are barely ah le to exist: I have been in their homes. They are not homes but merely habitations, a resting place. They are frugal, con? servative, reasonable ?nd a God-fearing people." Andrew Mattey, a Siavonin, said he was the means of bringing 14 Slavonians to this country at the in? stance of a breaker boss, at the Coxe mines. They were promised $1.10 a day but received only 65 to 80 cents a day. . FOB M?iSitiL if 3 COLLECM Latest ?bost the Charleston Ap? pointments. "Washington, Dec L- New develop men ts are daily expected on the contest over the Federal appointments in South Carolina. A delegation of Charles tonians arrived herc? this- morning, with the intention of capturing the, marshalship and the coIlectorsb:p of the port for two white Republicans. William.' Lloyd is on the slate for marshal and William M. Bird expects zo pull off the coiectorship. These two gentlemen, accompanied by Cap!. James F. Redding, o;c Charleston, are here to await the coming of National Committeeman John Capers, who is expected here within a few days. Mr. Lloyd elaims to have'the endorsement ; of/nearly all of the leading commercial interests of Charleston and has also 'otters of commendation and pledges 1 f support from many influential men 1 ?hroughou? the country. Being a native of Pennsylvania, he has at his . fcack the leading Republicans cf the ' Keystone State. "Without disclosing his plans or indicating what induce- 1 ments were held out for Mr. Lloyd and 1 Mr. Bird to enter the race, an im- ! pression prevails that they were in- ( spired by some one in authority to en- J ter the "contest. This impression is < strengthened by a statement made to- ! day by Senator McComas, of Mary- '] land, .that Dr. Crum will not be ap- ] pointed collector cf the port of Char- ( lesion. He went on to say that Dr. 1 Crum may be pr?vida for elsewhere, 1 but the Senator repeated with great 1 positiveness that he knew the Presi- J dent would not appoint Dr. Crum ( collector. 1 "This positive statement from Senator McComas was obtained today during a conversation with him on the subject of-the Crum appointment. It appears , that Dr. Crum called upon Senator . McComas a few days ago to thank him j personally for the letter the Senator ^ was reported by Crunrs friends to < have sent to President Roosevelt re- < foting the charges of political treachery ] by Crum at the Minneapolis Conven- j tion. Senator McComas frankly in- < formed Dr. Crum that he had written , no such letter to the President, but as- ? sured him that he remembered that he < had voted for Harrison in the conven- ? tion. f Senator McComas further stated that Dr. Crum was one of the ten Southern delegates to that convention assigned to his special care. The Sen? ator added: "I do not know who Dr. ' Crum was for when he arrived in Min- \ neapolis, but I do know that he was - for Harrison in the convention." It ] appears that Senator McComas is ] familiar with the pending situation J so far as Dr. Crum is concerned, for, without disclosing his authority for J saying so, he declared more than once " during the conversation that he was cer- ? tain Dr. Crum would not be appointed j collector of Charleston, When pressed ' for further information as to what ' disposition the President proposed to ] make of Dr. Crum, the Senator re- ' plied: "I am not prepared to say any- ] thing about tha'i, but will be perfectly i safe in saying that Dr. Crum will not be appointed collector."-News and ( Courier. . -- ? m? aw-i J A. J. Snell wanted to attend a party, but was afraid to do so on account of pains in hi* stomach, which he feared would grow 1 worse. He says, "I was telling my troubles ? ? to a lady friend, who said : 'Chamberlain's i Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy will ? c put you in condition for the psrty.' I 1 bought a bottle and take pleasure in stat- j a ing that two doses cured me and enabled ; tH me t? have a good time afc the party." Mr. j E Snell is a resident of Sommer Hill, N.

In his annual report to the board of trustees of Clemson Colkge President Mell incorporates the following in? formation furnished him by Prof. J. ,H. M. Beaty, director of the textile department of the college, which was established a few years ago : "For the- past few years, the in . crease in the production of manufac? tured cotton goods, in the south, I has been at an enormous rate, so that, at present; southern mills practically control the output of plain white fab? rics. So long as there is a bale of cotton in the south to be manufactured, so long may we expcted cotton mills to be erected in the south. But?as the coarse goods supply is already up to the demands, the prospering manu? facturer must look into thefproduction cf a finer class of fabrics. "lt is the purpose of this school to prepare young men so that after they leave here, they, may be com? petent to secure positions in mills making any class of goods whatever. This department has endeavored, and I think has succeeded, in keeping abreast of the needs of southern mills, yet all of the divisions of the work are more or less hampered for lack of proper equipment. " Several new maebin>&s, and also a consdierable amount of apparatus for experimental purposes, have been added to the department, and some other equipment has been arranged for. But still the need for addition? al equipment is urgent. The supply of power looms is not adequate for the number of students using them. Sometimes there are several students working on the same loom or standing about waiting an opportunity to get a loom on which to demonstrate some design gotten out by them. This prevents one getting the very best work out of the students. As yet there is no machinery in the school for printng, mercerizing, etc., and as all this class of finishing is dene north for southern mills, it is quite imporant that we should make ar? rangements in the near future for giv? ing instruction along these lines. To add the machinery named above will require a considerable amount of money, for two reasons ; . first, these special machines are expensive, and second, the multiplication of textile schools throuhgout the country has produced such a drain on the gen? erosity of machine builders that they have arrived at the point of not donating, but charging half price for machinery shipped these schools. So in the future we may expect to pay something like half value for ^all additional machine equipment." President Mell adds : Prof. Beaty also reports that the past year has been the most success? ful in the history of the school. The scope and thoroughness of the instruc? tion have exceeded that of any former year. All the instructors have 'been deeply interested in their work, and have put the students through. a broader and more systematic course of study. Several of the graduates are holding important positions with some of the mills of this section." Y1E?HH8 TO ROOSEVELT. Washington, Dec. 4.-Too much em? phasis maybe attached' to the an? nouncement that Senators 'Burrows of Michigan and Perkins of California have told the President that they will not further oppose a 20 per cent re? duction in the sugar duties as a con? cession to Cuba to secure reciprocity. This typifies the change of sentiment that has come over Western public men since they have encountered sentiment at home, but it is not of much im? portance as a surrender. The sugar , Senators do not believe they will be ? ' Confronted with the 20 per cent pro- r posai at this session ; they think, the bangle in Cuba will hold the treaty ? | there for some time, and then that the Senate will insist on a political treaty embodying, the terms of the Platt amendment, before they consider the jommercial one. The friction between ihe two houses regarding the authority in treaties affecting the revenues may uake further trouble. All things considerd, the sugar ( Senators believe it fruitless to keep 2p opposition to so popular a President is Eoosevelt, and also that it will prove inexpensive to yield a 20 per cent ' concession, with the complications ?vhich obstruct its coming into force.
