Cairo, Dec. 10. The completion of the great Nile dam was celebrated at Assouan today with great ceremoni ous pageantry, in the presence of the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, who appeared on behalf of King Edward VII., the khedlve and delegates from cities tnrougnout Egypt. The cere mony ot inauguration, which was per formed by the Duke of Connaught consisted in laying the last coping stone and opening a number of sluices to let tho water flow down the Nile, Following the ceremonies the ducal party and other guests left by special boat for Asslout to Inspect the sup plementary dam which has been built at that point. Today's ceremonies at Assouan mark tho completion of the greatest work of the kind ever attempted. As a triumph of engineering the Assou an dam stands perhaps at the head of human achievements. The dam Is l'i miles long. It is pierced by 180 openings, 23 feet high and seven feet wide, which have steel sluice gates Ther supplementary dam at Asslout, a few miles up the river, is intended as a reinforcement of the great dam to resist the force of tho spring floods and restrain them in a local reser voir capable of Btorlng more than 1,- 000,000,000 cubic feet of water. The Irrigation works supplied by this great reservoir will enable wide tracts of land to bear two crops a year instead ot one, will bring waste districts Into tillage, and will greatly Increase the area of sugar cultivation. The work ot construction was performed by the English firm of John AIrd & Company and It Is estimated that the total cost will amount to a little over $25,000, 000.

Minister Bowen Calls Upon Venezuela to Release the Prisoners War ship Boliver Captured at Port of Spain Customs Houses of Laguayra Seized. London, Dec. 10. Thc Venezuelan question was brought up In the house of commons today. When Kier Hardie asked the gov ernment to make known the cause of the coercive measures against that re public, Under Secretary Cranbourne said the details would be disclosed In the papers as soon as they would be submitted. Among other matters, he said were the unjustifiable Interference with British trading vessels and the im prisonment and ill treatment of Brit ish subjects, seizure and destruction of the property of British subjects. He said the ministers of both coun tries simply followed instructions, which were that unless concessions were made forcible action would be tesorted to. The seizure of Venzuelari war ships It might he added, was probably true, but the government had no advices detailing tho arrest and imprisonment of 200 British and German subjects at Caracas. They were arrested yester day, but the government was able to secure the release of most of them. They were now working to effect tho freedom of tho remainder. Safe From Mob8 In Jail.

Ite- NATIONAL CIVIC FEDERATION MINER'S SICK WIFE DIES Maimed, Blind and Paralyzed, a Poor Miner. Between Sobs Testifies to Outrageous Treatment, Scranton, Pa., Dec. 10. Counsel Wolverton submitted the Philadelpihi 6c Heading statement of 'wages to ae anthracite commission this morning, after which the day was devoted to hearing more witnesses on the miners' side. George Phillips, the superintendent of the public schools at Scranton. gave education testimony, and said miners' children rarely attended the schools after they are 12 years of age! and few up to that time. The day schools had few miners' children of any age, those who gained any educa tion being compelled to work days he could, to Hazelton, seven miles away, and placed them In a cold, damp, empty house. This was last month, when the atmosphere on tho Hazelton mountain was quite cold His wife beedtne worse. Medical aid was kindly furnished free by a Hazel ton doctor, but It did not help her much "We were greatly worried because of having been turned out of the house, and dno night," ho said, be tween sobs, "she died." All Were Affected. "She died?" said Judge Gray, who and attend night schools. The children were more anxious to learn than those whose parents were in other occupations. Attempts at education were discouraging where Immature boys were compelled to work a full day at hard labor, hurry i was pacing to and fro acroes tb" room as he quickly turned when ho r.eard the man's last words. "Yes, sir, she died and I burled her yesterday." All of the commissioners and many of those in tho court room were much hnmB tn thr.tr Riinnnr nnd then nour ! affected by the old miner's story. The over their books for recitations In the witness went on to say that he did evenings. ! n01 Know wnomcr tne centenarian John Archibald, a minor, and the waB alo iuuay or noi. one was in next witness, has been employed In the mines 55 years. He testified that a dollar a day is a big average salary for a miner. Andrew Hannlk, a Hungarian, told how the Markles evicted him. He was followed by Henry Coll another Mr.rnlr- miner, who told now bin fam ily, including his m ithet-in-Iaw who was 100 years old, were set on the road with their household goods. He gave a graphic description of how he was injured many times in the mines. He said that one of his legs was no better than a wooden one; he had only one eye, his hands had been crushed, ribs broken and skull fractured. The company gave him nothing until alter the employes took up a collection for him, then he was given $50 after being on the Injured list for two years. The company took out of the collection tho rent he owed. Had Been Evicted. In answer to other questions, he said he was one ot tho 13 evicted by tho Markle company. The only rent he owed was for the months during tho 3trllte. The company gave no reason for evicting him. Then followed the most pathetic story yet told the commission. Thel Attorney Wilcox came out openly and old miner, decrepit from many in Juries, told, under examntation, of Jiow the. eviction waa carried on. The wife was sick and her 100-year-old mother waa blind and unable to walk. The day or: which they were thrown bad condition, owing to her daugh ter's death, when he left tho house. No one cared to cross-examine and Judge Gray said; "That Is all, Mr. Coll, and that's Dough." Two more witnesses told of how they were refused work by the Mar kle company, and then J. 1), Gallagh er, national board member of tho United Mlno Workers of America for the Hazelton district, took the stand and told of conditions as ho found them at the mines of tho Markle company. The air In some of the gangways, ho said, wag so bad that miners' lamps would not burn. If he had a drill hole started and tho lamp went out, be would cont'nuo work in the dark until his condition became so weakened by the air that he had to go out. So far as he could remember. not one man who was on any of tbo Markle grievance committees. Is now working for that company. Independents Alone Miner Early, a witness, told of an- attempted bribery to break tho strike, He verified the story made public by District President Nichols In July. When the afternoon session began President Underwood, of Erie Rail, road, Says Arbitration 'Offers Solu tion for All Labor Troubles Em ployers Need Shorter Hours. New York, Dec. 10.

OMNIBUS "BILL BEFORE SENATE. out was. rainy He took them, as best surprise. said ho hoped the commission would not hold the big companies llablo for the conditions in tho Cox and Marine mines. This virtually ppens the dla clamor of the independent operators, whose methods caused a murmur of clples of arbitration proscntnd a ho lutlon for all labor difficulties and that it was a matter of educating tho managers and owners of big proper ties as well as the laboring' men. Ho further said that each side should bo educated In all fairness to drop per sonal views and deal with each other as they aro and not as they think they are . Eastly then read the returns of 5000 manufacturers on tho question of shortor hours, the preponderance of the replies being In favor of gradu ally granting thn laborors an eight- hour day. Marcus Marks, of tho Clothing Man ufacturers' Association, told tho fed eration that the only way to scltlu difficulties with employes was by fre quent conferences, and mndo tho unique suggestion that the employer also needed shorter hours, Ho cald tho averago manufacturer when ho had made his competence wns like u car horse waiting for the bell to ring "Shorter hours." ho snld, "for th employer, meant shorter hours for the employp. Wo want time for eaura t on. Wo manufacturers have no time for anything." Gompers' Speech. A feature of tho session wbb a speech by President Samuel OomporK, of the American Federation of Labor. Ho warmlv nralsed the efforts ot the civic federation and believed that tho personal meeting between both sides most effective way of reaching a good understanding, Kach side thus learned that tho other was not so black as they were painted. Ho said he heard much criticism of strikers. but no word concerning blacklists and lock-outs. Ho appealed to tho em ployers to turn their way and sea If thero was not Homo fault on their Fldo also. He was opposed to Incor poration of trades unions and to com-" puUory arbitration. The coal strike, he said, was deplored by both sides, but It would be eventually beneficial, He was loudly applauded whon he finished his remarks.
