Towno Grows Eloquent on
Jamcstovrn Exposition.
"WASHINGTON, April 10. For seven
hours today the House had under consid
eration the postoffice appropriation bill,
but in only a few instances were the pro
visions considered. During the debate on
the special appropriation for railway mall
pay, bitter words were exchanged between'
.Representatives irom .worm -aronna,
Arkansas and Kentucky, but all were
within the rules of the House. A humor
ous speech was made by J. Adam Bedc
(Minn.) and Charles A- Towno (New
Tork) spoke In behalf of the Jamestown
Exposition. Both Bedo and Towne repre
sented the Duluth district in Minnesota in
other Congresses. They were warmy
congratulated on their speeches.
Anti-Pass Bill Stranded.
Johnson (S. C.) said that notwithstand
ing the receipt of many letters from con
stituents of his. whose judgment he ro
spects. he would be compelled to antago
nize the special mall subsidy carried by
tho bill in favor of certain lines of rail
roads in tho South and West.
Randell (Tex.) addressed tho House on
his bill prohibiting carriers from giving
Congressmen or any judge of any Fed
eral court any free pass or anything of
value. Ho said he had to admit that it
was being "strangled" in the judiciary
committee, and that tho Speaker had re
fused lUm consideration.
Gaines (Tenn.) interrupted to ask what
had occurred in the Judiciary committee
regarding Randcll's bill. Tho latter said
tho action of the committee was execu
tive, but he admitted that tho vote on
tho bill stood 6 to 6. all tho Democrats
on the committee voting for the measure,
with ono Republican.
Towno Booms Jamestown.
Mr. Towno declared it would bo difficult
to overestimate tho significance of the
celebration of the landing at Jamestown
of tho first permanent English-speaking
colony on tills hemisphere. Tho object
Recmed to him so worthy and Important
as to Justify the Government in partici
pating in commemoration of tho event.
In his remarks he said:
Never lias a period of nimllar duration
witnessed such transformation and such
progress as that whose close Is to be so
Appropriately .commemorated at Jamestown
in May of the coming year. In military
organization and equipment, la naval archi
tecture and armament, and In. the whole
domain oC Industry, it would be Impossible
to cite a parallel. ICor could there be found
a place Jn all America so appropriate to
an Impressive demonstration of this mar
velous change as the fair domain of old
Vlrninla.
Let us, therefore, when the Spriac. 'shall
come again, gather In old Vlrglnt& abetg the
earliest altar erected to our clvlo wersMfr 1b

Marcus A. Smith, Delegate from Ari
zona, rose, not to make a speech, he said,
on the seal-herd situation, but read a
poem by an Arizona woman, Charlotte M.
Hail, entitled, "Arizona," in favor of
statehood for Arizona.
Without regard to the merits of tho
bill, Bede (Minnesota) arranged a text
for a speech brilliant In its humor, by
having read a resolution creating four
states out of the State of Texas.
At 5:39 the commltteo rose and the
House at B:23 adjourned until tomorrow
at 11 o'clock.
CRAMP TALKS FOIt SUBSIDY
Great Difference In Cost or Scotch
and American Sldps.
WASHINGTON. April lO.-The expected
testimony before the House commltteo on
merchant marine- and fisheries regarding
tho cost of American steel at home and
abroad was forthcoming today, when E.
S. Cramp, of the Cramp shipbuilding firm,
testified at length in favor of the ship
subsidy bill. There was at present, he
aid. absolutely no difference between the
foreign and domestic price of steel. This
statement made the steel question one of
brief discussion.
As to the cost of building ships in this
country and sibroad. he gavo an illustra
tion by reciting the bids which were re
cently made on a tank, ship of tho larg
est type. Tho successful bidder was a
Scotch firm, which constructed the vessel
for $613,000. Tho lowest American bid
was $l.te4.00O.
In ten years. Mr. Cramp said, this Gov
ernment had expended 511,000.000 In pur
chasing foreign merchant ships for war
purposes, and tho ships thus acquired
had been "rotten." Under the subsldv
bill, ho maintained that in ten years, at

WOULD CALL OLD BOARD
3Iine Operators Offer Alternative
Plan of Arbitration.
NEW TORK. April 10. Tho anthracite
operators at their conference with the
United Mlncworkcrs here today declined
the proposition to have the conciliation
board arbitrate all grievances submitted
by the wageworkers and made a counter
proposition that the commission appoint
ed by President Roosevelt in 1302 be re
quired to decide whether any changes in
conditions in the hard-coal region have oc
curred which require that the award of
the commission should be modified. The
rolneowners limited the Inquiry to two
grievances wages and a method for the
adjustment of complaints. The miners
have taken the proposal under considera
tion. In connection with today's conference,
George F. Baer. chairman of the mine
owners subcommittee, n.a'de public a let
ter sent to the committee by the Inde
pendent operators in which they gave
their views and their firm conviction that
any "agreement to arbitrate with tho
United Mlncworkcrs will be an unjustifia
ble surrender to anarchy and mob vio
lence." Tho letter camo as a great sur
prise to the miners, and did not tend to
bring tho contending parties closer to
gether. Offer of Operators.
Tho meeting today was very brief, and
it later was announced that another meet
ing would bo held on Thursday. The an
swer of the operators was made public.
It is as follows:
The Anthracite Coal Comxnbwion of V.KC
should be requested to reconvene and con
sider whether .ny circumstances have arisen
rtnee April 1, 1MB. which would Justify a
modification of Its award of that date. In re
spect only to the following subjects:
FlrM Wages.
Second Ae to tho adjustment of complaints
through th4 conciliation board or otherwise.
Any new award of tho Commlanlon shall
bo binding for a period of three years.
Your proposal, a we understand It, oven
involves tho submission by us of tho question
of our making an agreement with tho United
Mlncworktrs of America to the exclusion of
nonunion workers a question which we did
not nubmlt to tho Anthracite Strike Commis
sion for reasons then stated, in which wo were
fully Justified by that commission.
Every question that you have presented
was. In some form or other, after careful in
vestigations passed upon by the Anthracite
Strike Commission a commission composed
of disinterested- parties. The award It made
has been faithfully lived up to. Although the
duration of the award was limited to April
1, 1000. It was our expectation and that of
the public that tbo principles upon which it
was made would be permanent and continu
ing. That expectation was Justified, because
the Commission In Us hearings and In Its
award was guided' by the President' cxpresse
desire that It should "endeavor to establish
the relations between the wageworkers and
employers In tbo anthracite coal fields on a
Jmt and permanent basis."
' We cannot assent to reopen the fundament
al questions decided by the Anthracite Strike
Cesiaiilon. They havo formulated principles
and rules of right to govern the relations be
tween employes and employer which hav re
ceived the hearty absent of all good citizens
of the land.
Moreover, the decision of these question
necessarily Involved the further and most Im
portant one of all, 'that 1. Jncrnae in the
price of coal to the consuming public. A board
of arbitration connlstlng ocdy of your rep
resentatives and ours would hardly be con
eidered by the public a proper one to pa on
this question.

3ray Reduce or IlaLsc "Wajjcs.
After tho proposal bad been read. Pres
ident Mitchell asked whether under tho
plan the anthracite operators would havo
the privilege of asking the commission to
reduce present wages, and he was in
formed by one of the coal presidents that
they would. In reply to another question
ho was told that, if the operators plan is
accepted, the first offer of the coal com
panies to renew and continue for three
years the award of the Strike Commission
would collapse.
Mr. Mitchell did not know that tho in
dependent operators had sent a communi
cation to the presidents of tho coal-carrying
railroads opposing arbitration. He
first learned It after returning to his head
quarters at the Ashland House, but would
not comment on it at this time.
Calls Mlncworkcrs Anarchists.
The letter expressed the conviction of
the Independent operators that any agree
ment to arbitrate with tbo miners would
bo an unjustifiable surrender to anarchy
and mob violence The letter contained
the following:
We contend that it would be better that
our mines shall lie idle for years than that
we should accede to the highwayman-like de
mands of an organization that lack either
the wifch or the ability to restrain Its members
from acts of violence that would dltgr&cc
the rouch-deeplsed Rus&la.
The Independents wrote that, if the op
erators committee could decide, in defer
ence to public opinion, upon some offer of
arbitration, that arbitration should be by
the same body that met in 1902 and 1903,
and that there should be no submission of
questions already adjudicated, like the
closed shop, collection of dues or the sug
gestion of any term less than five years
during which the award shall be binding.
Tho independents also suggested that
any Increase in the cost of production
could be added at once to the market price
of coal. On this point the letter said:
It consumers (naturally-, perhaps, thinking
only of their own comfort and convenience)
are so Indifferent to the demands of law and
order as to compel ue to abandon a contest
for right and decent government then we are
ready, tf necessary, to uxdertake they should
pay the cort of the surrender that they com
set This letter Is signed for the Anthracite
Coal Operators Association by XL S. Ash
ley, president, and IL Kingsbury, .secre

The Anthracite Strike Commission, to
which the operators propose to submit the
dispute, was composed of:

bility for that heart-rending event. The
dead captain of the Ill-fated steamer Is
blamed to a degrco for tbo striking of
tho vessel, but the failure to rescue the
scores of human beings who clung to the
wreck for days between -lifo and a
watery grave must remain forever a sub
ject of Individual discussion, for all tbo
light that is thrown upon tho matter- by
these commissioners.
The commissioners finished their la
bors nearly a week ago. and the report,
which they have received from tho print
er, will be given to tho public when they
get ready. Extraordinary measures have
been taken to guard the report at pres
ent. Ono of the commissioners said to

port printed in full, and it must be seat
by mall to the several thousand aewapa
pers covered by the Associated Free and
other news agencies.

or other comparatively light-draft veaU
were pent to the scene.
Third Broadly speaking, tho Valencia ans

to 1 If waving appliance
Fourth Parties who got ashore from the
wreck were jvit censurable fur failure to de
vise means to help the remaining passen
gers to cscasc.
Fifth The report Is wobbly oa tho question
of the responsibility of rescue parti en sent to
the wreck, and the com million finally strad
dles this Important question. There la much
testimony that the sea. was comparatively
smooth during the time the Qnten and To

there Is a Question whether it was jxsblo
to send boats.
Officers on board the riearnfT Qaeen are
blamed for the departure of the vest el for
Victoria.
The Pacific Coast Company, a a company,
is not censured or blamed In any way.
The report will also contain recom
