Ryau, financier and owner of the Hyde stock In the Equitable Life Assurance society, backed down from the position he took last week before the. legislative Insurance committee In reftising to answer Charles E. Hughes' questions as to what arguments Edward H. Harriman had used to Induce him (Ryan) to part with a share of the Hyde stock. Mr. Ryan, through his counsel, Paul D. Cravath and his secretary, Informed the committee that he would appear at its convenience and answer the questions he had refused to answer When on the stand before. The Superior Court of Pennsylvania has handed down an opinion after declaring portions of the miner's certificate act passed by the legislature in 1897 to be unconstitutional, upholds the law as a whole and confirms the conviction of a miner in lAckawanna county, who was found guilty of having engaged in the occupation of a miner in the anthracite field without having previously obtained a certificate of competency from the minors' examining board of the district and without having been duly registered as provided by the act. London, Dec. 12.—The correspondent of the Dally Telegraph at St. Petersburg In an interview with Count Witte was told by the premier that Russia is confronted with the alternative of a revolution or violent coercion. Though the count has not abandoned hope, he is not sanguine, and if forcible repression should become necessary he will resign his task to other bands. Shamokin, Pa., Dec. 12.—Secretary- Secretarytreasurer George Hartlein, of the local district headquarters reported that there would be 800 delegates to the United Mine Workers' trl-district convention, which will begin cm Thursday, as follows: It is believed that a decision will bt rendered this week because of the importance of a prompt settlement of the controversy so that the rightfully elected mayor may be Inaugurated Jan. 1. All seven judges sat In the case. District No. 1, 450) District No. 7, 100; District No. 9, 250. The delegates will work eight hours per day In their dellbt-nulonn. There will be no night sessions. President John Mitchell arrived here at 11:30 last night. OBITUARY. Tonight "Wicked London" will be the bill, and tomorrow afternoon "Du- Barry," Ia handsomely staged and costumed production, will be seen. As to the genesis of the revolutionary movement. Premier Wltte attributed its rapid development to the grant of autonomy to the universities and the high schools, where the revolutionary forces, thitherto doomed to secrecy, found asylum and sanctuary and absolute freedom for discussion. Further, when this freedom became license society looked on with stolid indifference. Mrs. Ann Foster. ' One of this city's most respected residents passed away this morning In the death of Mrs. Ann Foster, whole death occurred at her home on South Main street in the early morning, hours after an Illness of a few days. Mrs. Poster's death was not unexpected by her family, who knew from the time she was taken 111 that her end was approaching, but a great many friends were not aware of her sickness and to these the announcement of her death came as a sad surprise. NEW CARDINALS ANNOUNCED, The advance contingent also arrived today. The interest shown surpasses that displayed cn the eve of any minern' convention in recent years. The act provides that all peraons applying for a certificate of competency to entitle to be employed aj miners must produce satisfactory evidence of having had not lees than two years of practical experience as a miner or mine laborer In the Commonwealth. The law was attacked by counsel representing the convicted miner on the ground that it was in contravention of clauses of the Constitution of the United States and that the act is an unreasonable and unequal exercise of the police power of the State. IN THE THEATRES. Pope Pius Declares That Preeent Time# The announcement of Mr. Ryan's change of attitude followed a day of conferences between District Attorney Jerome, Mr. Cravath and the insurance investigating committee. Do Not Permit of Consolation. "Our I'ajrtor,"' Thursday. Rome, Dec. 12.—The pope at a secret consistory, the second of his pontificate, created the following cardinals: The Most Rev. Joseph Samassa, archbishop of Erlau, Hungary; Mgr. Splnola, archbishop of Seville; Mgr. J. A. de Arcoverde de Albuquerque Cavalcantl, archbishop of Rio Janeiro; Mgr. Cagaino de Azevedo, major domo of the Vatican. While the convention of this week Is not expected to order a strike. It will formulate demands, which. If Ignored operators, will result within the next few months either In it suspension of work or a refusal by the miners to be officially bound by a renewal of the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission's award, which expires March 31. "Our Pastor," In which Daniel Sully will appear at the Broad Thursday evening, is Intensely dramatic, although a rich vein of comedy relieves the tension and prevents the most striking situations from becoming too strained. The story of the play Is simple enough, but it la in"lts handling and treatment that Jerrold Shepard has'shown himself a dramatist of unusual power and originality. A wealthy ranchman, domineering, pelfwilled and accustomed to command, is In love with his pretty ward, a girl many years his Junior. The/ young lady has other views and has fallen in love with a clever young mining engineer who has come out of the little Idaho village as the representative of an Eastern mining syndicate. There has been tin epidemic of horse stealing and when the tenderfoot is found with another man's horse In his possession he is made an unwilling participant In a lynching bee. Father Daly, pastor of the village church, arrives In time to rescue him and disperse the mob. He then proceeds to fight the young people's battles in his own way and eventually succeeds In arranging matters to the satisfaction of all concerned. In doing bo he encounters many obstacles, but overcomes them all by a combination of tact, diplomacy and goodhumored but inflexible authority. "Unfortunately the people at. large," said the premier, "take the view that it Is the government's business to realize constitutional principles and to tight revolution. Doubtless the government can employ force, but force Is only an evidence against the public enemy. If a community will not struggle against anarchy, 110 government can successfully cope with it." Edward W. Scott, president of the Provident Savings Life Assurance society, admitted to the legislative investigating committee that four of his sons and a nephew of his Wife are all connected with the company of which he is president, and that they have been with the company ever since he became connected with it. One of his sons, Elmer A. Scott, is the meiltcnl director and receives $4,500 a year. Edward W. Scott, Jr., another son, is director of agencies and receives $7,- 600. Two of his sons are agents In the metropolitan district. They are Walter E. and Wallace, each of whom receive commissions graded on business written and renewals for fifteen years. The wife's nephew is cashier of the company and receives $1,500 u year. Mrs. Foster was 65 years old. She had resided in this place for almost a half century, having come here from Carbondale. Her maiden name was Ann Nolan, and she was married to William Foster in Carbondale, the couple coming to Plttston shortly after their marriage. Her husband died ten years ago. Mrs. Foster was a woman who was widely known and highly regarded. She was a member of St. John's congregation and was connected with several societies/ John Shaleen, the miner, came from the soft coal fields of Illinoi® and obtained a situation in the anthracite region of Lackawanna county, this State. He claimed that the statute forbid him applying for or receiving a certificate because he lacked experience in Pennsylvania. The Superior court in its opinion says that portion of the law which grants privileges to residents of Pennsylvania and denies the same to citiaens of other states cannot be upheld under the Constitution of the United States. The court adds: In his allocution the pope said he wished he could give the cardinals pleasant and consoling news, but the conditions of the present times do not permit of consolation. Although the Catholic faith Is spreading more and more throughout the world, especially In dissident countries, on turning toward Catholic nations one feels sadness and fear lest the prediction of the Scriptures is being verified that the kingdom of the Lord will be removed to other people, where It will produce good fruit. He exhorted the cardinals to prayer, recalling that the Lord will cause tranquillity and peace to shine forth at the proper time. The chief desire and hope of the convention will be the recognition of 'he union b ythe operators A demand for a workday of eight hours will also be made, but It will be waived If recognition is conceded. It la also prob\ble that an increase In pay will be xsked (or certain classes of workers, Including the rockmen, who did not benefit under the award. Count VVitte contended that the same argument applied to strikes. With regard to the Jewish question, he said It was impossible at the present, moment Cannot Help Jews at Present. The following sons and daughters survive her: Mother M. Crescentla, of St. Cecilia's convent, Scranton; Sister M. Ursulina, of the Order of Charity, St. Joseph's Seminary, Dunwoodie, N. Y.; John, of Washington, Pa.; Joseph. William, Miss B., all of this city, and Rev. A. J. Foster, of Towanda. One brother, William Nolan, of Scranton also survives. The funeral will be held Friday morning at 9 o'clock from the family home on South Main street. A mass of requiem will be sung in St. John's church at 9:30 and Interment will be made In St. John's cemetery. to proclaim equality of rights, because such a measure would provoke appalling bloodshed. The convention will be known as a preliminary one. Following Its proceedings a committee likely to con- Vst of President Mitchell and the three ■llstrlct presidents and secretaries will endeavor to place the demands before the big coal companies' officers. Whatever the result, another convention will be called, either in this place, Haxleton or Wllkesbnrre, to act on the report of the committee. In conclusion the premier said "Unless all elements of society abandon their own differences of opinion and join hands to assist the government In checking anarchy and In carrying out the emperor's manifesto the situation may be regarded as truly disquieting and serious. With the moral help of the community and with the efficacious measures of the government all may yet be righted, but without that help anarchy will continue until finally the nation may demand the suppression by force, and then It is not impossible that the principles embodied in the manifesto may be repealed or suspended." ■ "We are not willing to decide, however, that the whole statute must be rejected." The company has no vice president. Mr. Scott's yearly salary is $XD.000. When there was a vice president Mr. Scott received $25,000 a year and the vice president $15,000. The opinion points out that there is little difference In the mining of anthracite and bituminous coal and says: Miss Roosevelt Reported Engaged. I New York, Dec. 12.—The engagement of the president's eldest daughter, Miss Alice Roosevelt, and Representative Nicholas Longworth of Cincinnati has been frequently reported, on the strength merely of rumors in society circles at the national caplttJJL and it has been as frequently denied authoritatively, says the Herald. Now, however, matters stand somewhat differently as between the couple and society, for they have become engaged, and the formal announcement will be made i by Mrs. Roosevelt within a few days i at the White House. Denies McCall's Testimony. The convention will have the power to declare a strike, and as it will 'lkely meet in March, the strike, If one Is decided upon, will doubtless go into effect April 15. | "The powers of the legislature to classify coal miners and to legislate for each class separately Is clearly .established. The legislative purpose was to provide a method of securing experienced miners for Mje anthracite mines. A valuable safeguard against incompetency Is thus created. If the defendant's claim that the law prevented him from applying for a certificate because of lack of Pennsylvania experience was a good excuse the law would be *nd persons Irrespective of experience could engage in the occupation of a miner. This cannot be done. It was the duty of the defendant to obtain a judicial ruling so far as it excluded him from .showing his competency. In so far as the act prevented him from showing his competency it la void. The other sections are affirmed and the sentence under the verdict is ordered executed." Impeaching sworn testimony of President John A. McCall of the New York Life about payment of more than $100,000 of policy holders' money to "Judge*' Andrew Hamilton, ostensibly for lighting through the court of appeals a test case on the constitutionality of a law taxing life insurance premiums, Mr. Scott swore that It was he who started the test case and that Mr. McCall and the New York Life had absolutely nothlngito do with It. •Mrs. William A. Heller. George W. Hartlein, secretarytreasurer of .the Ninth district, lit an 'ntervlew, said he wiis certain there would be a strike if recognition of the union and eight hours were not gran*ed. He modified his statement slightly by adding that the concession of either might avert trouble. Mrs. Margaret Heller, wife of William A. HeTter, Of Ndrth Main street. Upper Plttston, died yesterday afternoon, after a long illRess. Some months ago Mrs. Heller met with an accident at her home, falling down a flight of stairs with a lighted lamp In tt«r hand. She was painfully burned and injured, and from that time on was confined to her bed . A Complication of diseases set In, and finally resulted In her death. Mrs. Hellir was one of the oldest residents of Upper Plttston. Her maiden name wai Williams, and she was the daughter of Mr. Williams, who was foreman of the Twin mine many years ago. Besides her husband, one daughter survives, Mrs. John Hennjgan, of Upper Plttston; alto two sisters, Mrs. Jefferson Reed and Mrs. Catherine Morgan; both of Upper Plttston.

It is virtually settled among the leaders that in event of trouble, tho engineers, firemen and pump runners will not be called out, no matter how •jitter the struggle. Although these men can be called upon and would respond, a strike on their part would result In damage to mining oroperty without In any way benefitting any one. 0 Telegraphio Communication Resumed Between Capital and Other Places. St. Petersburg, Dec. 12.—The telegraph lines from St. Petersburg to Moscow, RevtU, Kiev, Kazan, Novgorod, Archangel and Narva resumed work after being cut off for several days by the strike of the telegraph operators. Many of the employees have resumed work, and it is believed that the strike is collapsing. The mails have not arrived from the south, owing to the railway strike.

A Scranton message says that the attorneys In that city who represent the operators In the case contend that the decision Is a victory for them.

But If the Home Life hasn't a "yellow dog" fund Its officials have not been above rebating. Ide didn't put It that way. He said that some of the officers had received commissions, and he had been instructed to prepare a history of all these transactions and present It to the committee. SPECIAL NOTICES.

The contest represents the contention of William Randolph Hearst and others that at the election of Nov. 7 they were rightfully elected to the offices of mayor, comptroller and president of the board of aldermen of the Greater New York. Former Governor Frank 8. Black and Austen G. Kok, assisted by Clarence J. Shearn, appeared for the Hearst side; former Chief Judge Alton B. Parker, Corporation Counsel John J.

Ryau, financier and owner of the Hyde stock In the Equitable Life Assurance society, backed down from the position he took last week before the. legislative Insurance committee In reftising to answer Charles E. Hughes' questions as to what arguments Edward H. Harriman had used to Induce him (Ryan) to part with a share of the Hyde stock. Mr. Ryan, through his counsel, Paul D. Cravath and his secretary, Informed the committee that he would appear at its convenience and answer the questions he had refused to answer When on the stand before. The Superior Court of Pennsylvania has handed down an opinion after declaring portions of the miner's certificate act passed by the legislature in 1897 to be unconstitutional, upholds the law as a whole and confirms the conviction of a miner in lAckawanna county, who was found guilty of having engaged in the occupation of a miner in the anthracite field without having previously obtained a certificate of competency from the minors' examining board of the district and without having been duly registered as provided by the act. London, Dec. 12.—The correspondent of the Dally Telegraph at St. Petersburg In an interview with Count Witte was told by the premier that Russia is confronted with the alternative of a revolution or violent coercion. Though the count has not abandoned hope, he is not sanguine, and if forcible repression should become necessary he will resign his task to other bands. Shamokin, Pa., Dec. 12.—Secretary- Secretarytreasurer George Hartlein, of the local district headquarters reported that there would be 800 delegates to the United Mine Workers' trl-district convention, which will begin cm Thursday, as follows: It is believed that a decision will bt rendered this week because of the importance of a prompt settlement of the controversy so that the rightfully elected mayor may be Inaugurated Jan. 1.

President John Mitchell arrived here at 11:30 last night. OBITUARY. Tonight "Wicked London" will be the bill, and tomorrow afternoon "Du- Barry," Ia handsomely staged and costumed production, will be seen. As to the genesis of the revolutionary movement. Premier Wltte attributed its rapid development to the grant of autonomy to the universities and the high schools, where the revolutionary forces, thitherto doomed to secrecy, found asylum and sanctuary and absolute freedom for discussion. Further, when this freedom became license society looked on with stolid indifference. Mrs. Ann Foster. ' One of this city's most respected residents passed away this morning In the death of Mrs. Ann Foster, whole death occurred at her home on South Main street in the early morning, hours after an Illness of a few days. Mrs. Poster's death was not unexpected by her family, who knew from the time she was taken 111 that her end was approaching, but a great many friends were not aware of her sickness and to these the announcement of her death came as a sad surprise. NEW CARDINALS ANNOUNCED, The advance contingent also arrived today. The interest shown surpasses that displayed cn the eve of any minern' convention in recent years. The act provides that all peraons applying for a certificate of competency to entitle to be employed aj miners must produce satisfactory evidence of having had not lees than two years of practical experience as a miner or mine laborer In the Commonwealth. The law was attacked by counsel representing the convicted miner on the ground that it was in contravention of clauses of the Constitution of the United States and that the act is an unreasonable and unequal exercise of the police power of the State. IN THE THEATRES. Pope Pius Declares That Preeent Time# The announcement of Mr. Ryan's change of attitude followed a day of conferences between District Attorney Jerome, Mr. Cravath and the insurance investigating committee. Do Not Permit of Consolation. "Our I'ajrtor,"' Thursday. Rome, Dec. 12.—The pope at a secret consistory, the second of his pontificate, created the following cardinals: The Most Rev. Joseph Samassa, archbishop of Erlau, Hungary; Mgr. Splnola, archbishop of Seville; Mgr. J. A. de Arcoverde de Albuquerque Cavalcantl, archbishop of Rio Janeiro; Mgr. Cagaino de Azevedo, major domo of the Vatican. While the convention of this week Is not expected to order a strike. It will formulate demands, which. If Ignored operators, will result within the next few months either In it suspension of work or a refusal by the miners to be officially bound by a renewal of the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission's award, which expires March 31. "Our Pastor," In which Daniel Sully will appear at the Broad Thursday evening, is Intensely dramatic, although a rich vein of comedy relieves the tension and prevents the most striking situations from becoming too strained. The story of the play Is simple enough, but it la in"lts handling and treatment that Jerrold Shepard has'shown himself a dramatist of unusual power and originality. A wealthy ranchman, domineering, pelfwilled and accustomed to command, is In love with his pretty ward, a girl many years his Junior. The/ young lady has other views and has fallen in love with a clever young mining engineer who has come out of the little Idaho village as the representative of an Eastern mining syndicate. There has been tin epidemic of horse stealing and when the tenderfoot is found with another man's horse In his possession he is made an unwilling participant In a lynching bee. Father Daly, pastor of the village church, arrives In time to rescue him and disperse the mob. He then proceeds to fight the young people's battles in his own way and eventually succeeds In arranging matters to the satisfaction of all concerned. In doing bo he encounters many obstacles, but overcomes them all by a combination of tact, diplomacy and goodhumored but inflexible authority. "Unfortunately the people at. large," said the premier, "take the view that it Is the government's business to realize constitutional principles and to tight revolution. Doubtless the government can employ force, but force Is only an evidence against the public enemy. If a community will not struggle against anarchy, 110 government can successfully cope with it." Edward W. Scott, president of the Provident Savings Life Assurance society, admitted to the legislative investigating committee that four of his sons and a nephew of his Wife are all connected with the company of which he is president, and that they have been with the company ever since he became connected with it. One of his sons, Elmer A. Scott, is the meiltcnl director and receives $4,500 a year. Edward W. Scott, Jr., another son, is director of agencies and receives $7,- 600. Two of his sons are agents In the metropolitan district. They are Walter E. and Wallace, each of whom receive commissions graded on business written and renewals for fifteen years. The wife's nephew is cashier of the company and receives $1,500 u year. Mrs. Foster was 65 years old. She had resided in this place for almost a half century, having come here from Carbondale. Her maiden name was Ann Nolan, and she was married to William Foster in Carbondale, the couple coming to Plttston shortly after their marriage. Her husband died ten years ago. Mrs. Foster was a woman who was widely known and highly regarded. She was a member of St. John's congregation and was connected with several societies/ John Shaleen, the miner, came from the soft coal fields of Illinoi® and obtained a situation in the anthracite region of Lackawanna county, this State. He claimed that the statute forbid him applying for or receiving a certificate because he lacked experience in Pennsylvania. The Superior court in its opinion says that portion of the law which grants privileges to residents of Pennsylvania and denies the same to citiaens of other states cannot be upheld under the Constitution of the United States. The court adds: In his allocution the pope said he wished he could give the cardinals pleasant and consoling news, but the conditions of the present times do not permit of consolation. Although the Catholic faith Is spreading more and more throughout the world, especially In dissident countries, on turning toward Catholic nations one feels sadness and fear lest the prediction of the Scriptures is being verified that the kingdom of the Lord will be removed to other people, where It will produce good fruit. He exhorted the cardinals to prayer, recalling that the Lord will cause tranquillity and peace to shine forth at the proper time. The chief desire and hope of the convention will be the recognition of 'he union b ythe operators A demand for a workday of eight hours will also be made, but It will be waived If recognition is conceded. It la also prob\ble that an increase In pay will be xsked (or certain classes of workers, Including the rockmen, who did not benefit under the award. Count VVitte contended that the same argument applied to strikes. With regard to the Jewish question, he said It was impossible at the present, moment Cannot Help Jews at Present. The following sons and daughters survive her: Mother M. Crescentla, of St. Cecilia's convent, Scranton; Sister M. Ursulina, of the Order of Charity, St. Joseph's Seminary, Dunwoodie, N. Y.; John, of Washington, Pa.; Joseph. William, Miss B., all of this city, and Rev. A. J. Foster, of Towanda. One brother, William Nolan, of Scranton also survives. The funeral will be held Friday morning at 9 o'clock from the family home on South Main street. A mass of requiem will be sung in St. John's church at 9:30 and Interment will be made In St. John's cemetery. to proclaim equality of rights, because such a measure would provoke appalling bloodshed. The convention will be known as a preliminary one. Following Its proceedings a committee likely to con- Vst of President Mitchell and the three ■llstrlct presidents and secretaries will endeavor to place the demands before the big coal companies' officers. Whatever the result, another convention will be called, either in this place, Haxleton or Wllkesbnrre, to act on the report of the committee. In conclusion the premier said "Unless all elements of society abandon their own differences of opinion and join hands to assist the government In checking anarchy and In carrying out the emperor's manifesto the situation may be regarded as truly disquieting and serious. With the moral help of the community and with the efficacious measures of the government all may yet be righted, but without that help anarchy will continue until finally the nation may demand the suppression by force, and then It is not impossible that the principles embodied in the manifesto may be repealed or suspended." ■ "We are not willing to decide, however, that the whole statute must be rejected." The company has no vice president. Mr. Scott's yearly salary is $XD.000. When there was a vice president Mr. Scott received $25,000 a year and the vice president $15,000. The opinion points out that there is little difference In the mining of anthracite and bituminous coal and says: Miss Roosevelt Reported Engaged. I New York, Dec. 12.—The engagement of the president's eldest daughter, Miss Alice Roosevelt, and Representative Nicholas Longworth of Cincinnati has been frequently reported, on the strength merely of rumors in society circles at the national caplttJJL and it has been as frequently denied authoritatively, says the Herald. Now, however, matters stand somewhat differently as between the couple and society, for they have become engaged, and the formal announcement will be made i by Mrs. Roosevelt within a few days i at the White House. Denies McCall's Testimony. The convention will have the power to declare a strike, and as it will 'lkely meet in March, the strike, If one Is decided upon, will doubtless go into effect April 15. | "The powers of the legislature to classify coal miners and to legislate for each class separately Is clearly .established. The legislative purpose was to provide a method of securing experienced miners for Mje anthracite mines. A valuable safeguard against incompetency Is thus created. If the defendant's claim that the law prevented him from applying for a certificate because of lack of Pennsylvania experience was a good excuse the law would be *nd persons Irrespective of experience could engage in the occupation of a miner. This cannot be done. It was the duty of the defendant to obtain a judicial ruling so far as it excluded him from .showing his competency. In so far as the act prevented him from showing his competency it la void. The other sections are affirmed and the sentence under the verdict is ordered executed." Impeaching sworn testimony of President John A. McCall of the New York Life about payment of more than $100,000 of policy holders' money to "Judge*' Andrew Hamilton, ostensibly for lighting through the court of appeals a test case on the constitutionality of a law taxing life insurance premiums, Mr. Scott swore that It was he who started the test case and that Mr. McCall and the New York Life had absolutely nothlngito do with It. •Mrs. William A. Heller. George W. Hartlein, secretarytreasurer of .the Ninth district, lit an 'ntervlew, said he wiis certain there would be a strike if recognition of the union and eight hours were not gran*ed. He modified his statement slightly by adding that the concession of either might avert trouble. Mrs. Margaret Heller, wife of William A. HeTter, Of Ndrth Main street. Upper Plttston, died yesterday afternoon, after a long illRess. Some months ago Mrs. Heller met with an accident at her home, falling down a flight of stairs with a lighted lamp In tt«r hand. She was painfully burned and injured, and from that time on was confined to her bed . A Complication of diseases set In, and finally resulted In her death. Mrs. Hellir was one of the oldest residents of Upper Plttston. Her maiden name wai Williams, and she was the daughter of Mr. Williams, who was foreman of the Twin mine many years ago. Besides her husband, one daughter survives, Mrs. John Hennjgan, of Upper Plttston; alto two sisters, Mrs. Jefferson Reed and Mrs. Catherine Morgan; both of Upper Plttston.

It is virtually settled among the leaders that in event of trouble, tho engineers, firemen and pump runners will not be called out, no matter how •jitter the struggle. Although these men can be called upon and would respond, a strike on their part would result In damage to mining oroperty without In any way benefitting any one. 0 Telegraphio Communication Resumed Between Capital and Other Places. St. Petersburg, Dec. 12.—The telegraph lines from St. Petersburg to Moscow, RevtU, Kiev, Kazan, Novgorod, Archangel and Narva resumed work after being cut off for several days by the strike of the telegraph operators. Many of the employees have resumed work, and it is believed that the strike is collapsing. The mails have not arrived from the south, owing to the railway strike.

A Scranton message says that the attorneys In that city who represent the operators In the case contend that the decision Is a victory for them. Inasmuch as It practically means that a coal miner from any State who can pass the required examination Is entitled to a certificate from a miners' examining board tn the anthracite region of Pennsylvania. But If the Home Life hasn't a "yellow dog" fund Its officials have not been above rebating. Ide didn't put It that way. He said that some of the officers had received commissions, and he had been instructed to prepare a history of all these transactions and present It to the committee. SPECIAL NOTICES.
