Tin- union republican choice for aenator, In pl.ice of Addlcka. will probably be tlov crnor Hutin or Secretary of State Ijiyton. Sta.e Senator Alice, the Addlcka leader, haa repeatedly declared that he would not fci-ccpt the I'nlted States acnatorship. Mr. Addlcka arrived here from Wilming ton about 1 o'clock, goiug direct to the capitol. He waa ushered Into the parlor of ihe stnte house, where all the twenty one union republican membura of the leg islature were naaemtileil to meet him, to gethir with S-cretnry of Stale Layton and Insurance fommlsnloner Marsliall. The aaHcmblynien received Mr. Addlcka with cheera and lie appeared deeply moved by the heartlneaa of the greeting. Imme diately after Mr. Addlcka arrived, Governor John llunn. who Is called the peacemaker In lieluware pnlltlca, entered the parlor. After the parlora had been closed thoo out nlde heard frecpient bursts of applause and the rumor became general that Mr. Addlcka v.aa about to withdraw from the most remarkable political fight In the his tory of this country, a flght which haa deadlocked three sessions of the legislature and split the republican party Into faction. Thia rumor waa confirmed soon after 2, when the c.iucus adjourned. Addlcka filrra Hrrtaona.

A number of the leaders met In Wllmlt.g lon tonight and much opposition to the proposed cnaMilon waa expressed. The claim was made that Addlcka' withdrawal waa for the purpose of electing two of his supporiers and it Is understood that the regulars, or number of them, will re fuse to enter the caucus because of thla. t The withdrawal of Addlcka leaves the aenaiorlal muddle In a peculiar position. If the tegular republicans do not aceept the proposition of the unions for a general repiinliean caucus then Addlcka again be comes a candidate. If they do accept it la believed they will have no chance to name a senator from their own faction hecauae the Addlcka re publicans will enforce the unit rule claim ing the right of the majority to select the caueua nomlneea. Meantime the democrats, eager to defeat Addlcka, may Induce the regulars to ac cept ihe proposition to support two men elected hv them.

After sitting exactly fifty-one days the coal strike com mission h"ard the last witness this after noon ami adjourned until Monday, when counsels' arguments will begin. The arguments will take up five and a half days. Ihe operators having been as signed three days and the miners the re mainder of the time. Today's sessions were takea tip In hear ing the last witnesses presented by the i miners In rbnttal. Much of the evidence j related to the alleged unequal dlsi rlbut ion j of mine cars, nearly a dor.en miners testl- 1 fylng that they could load more cars than the companies furnished. In all the commission ha heard ofifi wit nesses, nine of whom were called by the commission, 244 by the union mlnera, lij."i by the non-union miners and 15R by the operators. The first three witnesses today were I'hlllp C. lfford of the Law colliery, John Sheridan, Avoca. and William Atwell. For est City, all nf whom testified that It was the coal companies and not the miners who were restricting the output, of coal. All testified that they did not get enough cars for a day's work. Dr. William I. t'oplin. professor of path ology at Jefferson Medical college. I'hil adelphla. was railed In the afternoon ses sion. He showed five specimens of lungs, one of a normal organ and four of mine workers, whlcb were black from coal dust. He said where iungs were clogged up with foreign substances the person ws easily susceptible to disease. Henry Collins, national organiser of 'ho miners' union; Thomas J. Duffy, until re cently president of district No. 7 of thi miners' union, and George Hartleln, lecretary of district No. !), took the stand and denied some of the statements made by witnesses called by the operators. Mr. Hartleln said according to reports made to him there are 1,976 mine workers idle In his district. Five other witnesses were called, among them W. II. Jenkins of Pitlavllie, who was called to show that '.he Reading rompanv employed aa coal and Iron policemen all sorts of men regardless of their character. He volunteerd the Information that he had been engaged as a lieutenant of the coal and Iron pnlle.' for the Heading com pany; that he had been arrested for burg lary, assault and battery and larceny. Ha also sold he had been charged with shoot ing two coal and Iron poltcemm. "Mr. Jenkins, you were known throughout Pchuylklll county as 'Hlood am'. Thunder Jenkins, were yon not?" lnuuirod counsel for the miners. "Yes," replied Jenkins. "I don't think this witness should be cross-examined." exclaimed tbt chairman, with considerable feeling. "He fcas dis rndlted htmrelf aa a witness." Attorneys for both sides presented some statistics on various subjects, and Mr. Harrow announced that the miners' case was closed. Th's ended the hearing of wit nesses on both sides. Judge tlray, speaking on b.'half of the commission, said In some respects the hear ing had been an unexampled on In the ex perience of the country. SOFT COAL MINERS WIN RAISE or tiller Tractlrall jr to f onrede Increase llrmandeil hy 1'alon. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Feb. R The soft coal miners of Indiana. Illinois. Ohio and western Pennsylvania were today offered an advance In wages for the ensuing year that In most part will be lit per rent. a The settlement of wages In this district la the basis on which all other districts will settle, so that the proposition may be said ! to have been made to the soft coal miners 1 of the country. The offer haa not yet been accepted. There Is a chance that a suggestion made by Vice F'resident T. L. Lewis of the mln era, that the question of differentials for 1 all four states be referred to arbitration. will be taken up and the Illinois operators, who are already on a lower differential than thoso of other slates, will, It is I thought, favor such a propceltlon.

RESULT OF SOME LONG CONFERENCES Men and Knipl era tiet Toaelbcr and Finally t ome to an Aarre nirnt to Stnrt Work Thla Morning. The strike whirh has existed In the Omaha Job printing plants for the past few days Is settled, us far as the pressmen and the pressfccilers' unions are concerned, those two unions having decided at conferen.es held last night, and which lasted until nearly midnight, to return to tbclr posi tions this morninn- Their demands wcte granted by the employers, each of the ln unions winning in ihelr cb uiaad for an in creased wage scale. The demands made by the typographical union will be settled by arbitration. Ponding Ihe decision of the arbitration committee the men will return to their cases thla morning with the press men and feeders. At the meeting of the pressfeeders con siderable Interest was manifested over the I agreement which was sent to them by the employers. At the time of the walkout a demtind of $11 flat was made for all presses which they operated In the Jobbing plants. Their former wage scale had been $'..."iO for large cylinder presses, and $M for pony presses. In the communication which waa sent to 1 hem Inst night the employers agreed upon a wage scule of M10.50 a week for large presses, an Increase nf II over the former scale; and J!.SO for pony presses, which Is an increase of $1.50 for the smaller stvle of nrcss work. During the session the pressmen decided ' I'.obable that ihe conferees took Bli ps to to concede the Mi cents to the employers. I defeat Ihe bill, and lll prod the associa te dl fference bet ecu the concession of t ho I ' '"'i'" legislative committee into vigorous Jobbers and the demand asked by the press- action. ,,, The agreements between the employers and the men. will be signed later. The em- I plovera were notified last night that the U3 . . ... 1 men would return to their labors tnis morn- ; Ing, working under the desired 64-hour schedule, 1'rraamen Win All the War.

The pressmen feel elated over the prompt settlement nf the strike, and also over tho fact that their demand of $18 and $18 for Btnall and lnrga presswork was nearly granted In full. The meeting last nlgtt was attended by twenty-three members of the pressmen's union, all agreeing to return to work to day. 1'rlnlera Will Arbitrate.. The eighty members of tho Typographical unior. were not so eurcessful In the settle ment of their grievances and will return 'to their eases to continue working until the decision, of the arbitrator!, to whom the settlement of the question will be left. Is rendered DuriDg the meeting of the union last night It was not definitely decided whether the arbitration board should con sist of two men to be chosen by the union, two by the employers and the fifth by those rhos"n by the two opposing factions, or whether one arbitrator chould represen' each faction, tho third to be chosen by those so selected. The members, it was stated, favored the three-arbitrator plan, and have already arranged to select Presi dent J. M. Lynch of the National Typo graphical union as their representative. It was definitely decide, however, that the ar bitrators should not be chosen later than next Sunday. Ilrrlalon In Thirty Days. According to the agreement made tem porarily between the? union and the em- 4 ployers. the decision of the arbitration j boirl Is to be rendered within thirty days J from the date of the selection of represen tatives. The employers acceded to the re quest from the union that the men would return to tbelr work today and remain there provided that the decision of the arbitrators should not reduce the wages to t paid be low the preaeut 17-eent-per-hour scale. 1 and that the flfty-four-hour a-hedule J should be granted. I The question to be decided by the repre. ! sentatives of the employers will be whether the union men receive the $1 a week In crease snd the benefit of the reduction of the working hours. The member of the Freight Handlers' union aiso ncm i.ui" , cernlng the recent dissatisfaction which re. suited from the dlschsrge of two members of the union from their positions. The union, after being In aeselon until nearly midnight, decided upon the unanimous tola of the members to refer their grievances to ihe Central Labor union for settlement. 1 PASS SENTENCE ON TRAINMEN i I no uh.i H.iki I alas I'arlae Tars tieta Knar rara In tlnrjf.

Civil war veterans, Spanish war veterans, Klon dike gold huuters, Arctic explorers, prairie pioneers and scarred Indian fighters all have been backed off the earth to make room for four of the mightiest heroes that Spencer was ever given the proud privilege cf peep- Ing at. They are Lloyd Scruggs, N. W. Notrls. W. H. Tutter and Jack Hre ngle, traveling men. who role six hours in carriage from Dutte to Spencer, a distance of ten miles, last Tuesday afternoon during the storm, and have "lived to tell the tale." How often they will tell It nobody knows. but If their powers of repetition are as good through subsequent centuries as they were while the quartet was in Spencer there Is going to he a heap of conversation In this world. Scruggs had an ear and a hand frozen; Norrls an ear and hia nose; Tutter both cars and his nose. Hrengle came un der the wire fresh and unfrosied. The town council of Spencer will pass resolutions of respect and admiration at Its next meeting and hereafter the band will play and the children of tbe public schools give a flag drill at the fair grounds every time these iecord-breakera come to town, .tanebmeu say they never heard the like which leavej tbe listener the privilege of guessing whilhir they refer to the Incident or the autobiographical account of It.

The n ' eliue committer hna gone outside for light. I li has asked for advice and counsel. This j afternoon Captain II. K. Palmer asd V. 1 P. Harford of the Aetna Insurance coin I puny, both of Omaha, appeared be fore the subcommittee ,,n Insurance taxation, at the reipi'si of the committee, and told ahy the prc-ctii biw regarding Inaurance taxa tion should not be changed. "We are taxed today," said Captain Palmer, ' just like John Smith or any oiher man We pay state, county and municipal taxes and that Is what we should pay. We pay it on th-. net receipts of the com panies. The fl.aoi) whiih it la aald ia paid Into the state by the Insurance company la only a portion of the taxes paid and is misleading and erroneous. The auditor's books will show that the insurance com panies paid Into too state treasury in re clprocal laxes and fees between IbVoiK) and , ,. ... n,,ini. i...i iimana and South Omaha over IS "Khi.

"To change the law and aaaeaa insurance companies on their gross earnings and turn the money over to the state would not mi Just to ihe cities, there, they are now paying municipal taxes," rontlnued Cap tain Palmer. "In Omufaa and South Omaha one-third of the premiums of the stste are paid and these cities should get some taxes for muntctpal purposes. A change In the law would mean a change In the rales and otherwise work hardship on the people and lh ' con. panics. Tho present rates were fixed with this law in mind and a change In tho law would necessarily mean a change in the rates. As a clilzen of Omaha I protested against changing the law. Three legislatures have threshed It over and it is now a moat Just and equi table law. It Is tho same aa In force In eleven other states." Captain Palmer aald he was here as a citizen and not aa a representative of any Insurance company. The committee did not Intimate to tha gentlemen what action It would take In regard Hi the rtatler. Committee Arts mm I nit. Whatever else may be aald about the rev enue committee, whatever kind of bill It Biibmlts to the legislature, It cannjt be said that It has not worked faithfully since the adjournment of the legislature. It has met morning, noon and night and, meeting, has worked. The committee will stand by the bill it recommends until the last. Yes terday word came out from the meeting room that the committer would fight to the 1 ml any attempt to amend or strike out ! any section of the bill being prepared. Like 1 tha Omaha delegation, the committee speaks j as one voice or it remains forever silent. ) and if a majorlt y say 1 his Is right, no other j member will object to it on the floor of the legislature. chairman llrown said this morning: "We are working faithfully, conaclent tously and. ; above all, we are working harmoniously, j and I believe we will have the bill ready for the legislature by the time tt reconvenes We are studying each section carefully and we are putting In some good, stroug points that I b lieve will be acceptable to the peo ple of the state. It is a most difficult .task to prepare a bill of this nature In oue week end whether It suits or not, whether It Is a good bill or a bad bill, we Lave put our best endeavor on it and that Is all wa can do. ' Member Sear Is getting somewhat pessi mistic contemplating the manner in which the bill will be received by the people. "No matter what kind of a bill we submit, whether good or bad. flaws will be found In it and we are up for a 'cussing' from soma quarter.
