SCRANTON, Pa., Dec. 15. The mine
workers, after occupying nineteen days and
calling 140 witnesses, practically closed
their case before the strike commission
this afternoon.
Today's session was one of the most Im
portant yet held, aa the close relations of
the coal-carrying roads with the mining
companies came squarely before the arbi
trators.
Judge Gray deprecated the Introduction
of new questions, saying:
Th commission. In a general way, Is
averse to widening the scope of the investi
gation beyond the terms of the submissions
or miners and operators. In carrying on
the Investigation It assumes the coal com
panies can afford to pay fair wages, and
that If the conl companies. In presenting
heir side of the cane, maintain that they
cannot afford an Increase, the commission
will hear what the miners have to say. It
assumes, further, that If a business can
not pay fair wages the employer ought to
get out or it.
Try to Show Combine.
The mine workers appeared to place
much Importance on the evidence they pro
duced that the coal roads controlled the
coal companies and that the roads charged
exorbitant and discriminating freight rates
thus increasing the revenues of the mining
properties.
The early part of the afternoon was ta
ken up In hearing witnesses In the employ
of the Reading company, after which Mr,
Darrow announced the close of his case.
excepting that he wouldcall one witness
tomorrow on a matter entirely different
from anything that had been offered.
'I will present a table," he said, "show
ing fluctuations In the anthracite Industry
as to th tonnage mined In the past ten
years and the amount turned out per man.
We will claim, of course, that the last
year Is not a fair criterion as to the
amount of wages that a miner should earn
"We may, at some future time, want to
ask some questions about combinations of
various railroad presidents when we get
them before this commission, but we.
leave that as it ia; we may or may not
want to ask that."
The Chairman Well, we will have to de
clde when questions of that hind com be
fore us. The- scope of our inquiry la to
investigate and decide upon the matters in
controversy between the anthrrclte mine
workers and the operators who have signed
the letter of submission or those who have
Intervened alnce. The question of a coal
trust cannot be Investigated here.
I take It that this commission will con
slder that It has quite enough to do to de
clde the important Issues that now con
atitute the controversy, and without de
cidlng anything until It la actually pre
aented, I can state as a general opinion
that Ve shall be adverse to widening the
scope of this Investigation - beyond the
terma of submission.
Mr. Darrow Still. I take It that the
commission's authority is a little broader
than to Inquire Into the conditions here,
and that it embraces anything that would
tend to the permanent aettlement of thi
matter. I rather Inferred that the com
mission would want to know something
about freights and about the connection
between the railroads and the mine own
ers. I also think It has direct bearing on
this case. At least ono company has
pleaded directly that it cannot afford to pay
any more wages.
Brings Official Evidence.
Mr. Lloyd then read a syllabus of doc
uments he bad prepared. He said:
For the purpose of connecting the ores,
ent facta with the past we offer evidence
of the causes, character and result of the
commnauons. both of labor and capita
in the anthracite coal Industry. Th
profits of the business, both of mining and
oi transportation; tne reslutlons of trans
portation companies to operators an(
mlnere and the political and sorlal conse
iiueuces that have resulted. This evidence
thus offered we obtained from the reports
of various legislative Investigations bv the
states of New York and Pennsylvania and
oy congress rrom isu to tne present time
and It embrace, we believe, all the Im
portant Inquiries of that character which
nave been maae.
Then he started to read an extract from
the annual report of the Bureau of Sta
tistics of Labor and Agriculture of Penn
sylvanla for 1872 and 1873, showing that
the reorganization of labor waa made
necessary by the previous organization of
employers In the anthracite fields.
He submitted five points In evidence, as
follows:
1. The ownerahlD bv certain rnllrrmrtu nt
mining properties In the anthracite fields.
j 2. That men who were directors In one
mining company are memDers or boards of
directors of other railroads and mining
companies.
3. Joint resistance of the coal-carrvlng
railroads to the individual operators build
ing an Independent road to carry their
product at reasonable rates.
4. The community of Interests of the
coal-carrytng railroads and their mining
cuiiipanieB.
5. Constant acquisition of additional un
mlned coal by the coal-carrying railroads.
Then he wanted to show that exorbitant
freight rates were charged by the com
panies, and a specific objection was
promptly entered by Simon H. Wolverton,
counsel for the Reading company.
Two of the commissioners bad tem
porarily left the room and Judge Gray hes
itated to rule and asked Mr. Lloyd to read
something else for the time being.
At this suggestion Mr. Lloyd began to
present evidence relating to the profits of
the coal railroads and mining companies.
Mr. Wolverton stopped him again, how
ever, and a long colloquy ensued as to
w hether freight rates and the profits' of the
two classes of companies could properly
be Introduced.
Judge Gray did not think so, and went
on to make his' announcement, assuming
that the operators could pay a fair wago,
and if not, ought to get out of business.
Mr. Lloyd seemed satisfied and said he
would go - no further, that the prlnctplo
thus laid down would be welcomed by tho
workmen of the country and set a prece
dent. Girls Work All Xtgat.
Several little girls employed In silk mills
nearby were called, and as a result the
chairman plainly gave hla opinion of par
ents who send their children to work at a
tender age.
The first' girl called was only 11 years
old and had to go to work because her
father was hurt In the mines. Sqe worked
from 7 a. m. until 6 p. m. for 12 a week.
In answer to the chairman, she said her
father expected to take her out of the
mills next week, to which Judge Gray re
plied that he should be commended.
Annie Denks, aged IS, worked at night
from :10 until 1:30 la the morning. She

CLERKS WORK. IN THE .COLD
Interior Department's Steam Plant
Closes for Want of
Coal. '
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. The coal fam
ine In Washington is already affecting the
government buildings. Some of them would
have' to be closed in anything like a
blizzard weather and rigid economy has
been ordered. i
The coal supply waa exhausted at the
Postofflce department early this morning
and all the electric lights above the first
noor ana tne private elevator oi tne post
master general were shut off.
The steam plant In the Interior depart
ment was shut down for over an hour, but
a limited fuel supply was finally received
from local dealers.
The capltol building has exactly two days'
supply now, but no fears are felt there, as
a contract with the Reading railroad re
quires that comany to furnish sufficient
fuel to keep the building heated. The Ag
ricultural, Census and other buildings have
also only a very limited supply.

WASHINGTON, Dec 15. W. 8. Chance,
supervising special agent of the Treasury
department, in his annual report, discuss
ing the subject of undervaluations of Im
ported merchandise says:
The fact that many Importers are still
obliged to purchase from other Importers
lines which they would prefer to import
themselves, suggests that undervaluation
Is practiced.
In such cases It has been found particu
larly difficult to secure satisfactory evi
dence of dutiable vulues. Co-operation be
tween importers, who wiah to purchase In
foreign markets, and sales agents charged
with the detection of fraud upon the cus
toms revenue, would acoompllth a great
deal toward changing these conditions.

DEAN CAMPBELL FAIR DEAD
Prominent Episcopal Clergyman Paisei
Away After Long Illness,
THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS IN THE MINISTRY
Leaves Loss Record of Charitable
Work Anions; Poor People of Sev
eral Cities la Which Ho
Labored as Priest.
Death laid Its quieting finger upon the
brow of the Very Reverend Campbell Fair
at 6:30 o'clock last evening and forever
rested the earnest soul, the generous heart
and the busy hands of the kind old man.
The news will sadden the many who
have become endeared' to him during the
five years he has spent In Omaha as the
dean of Trinity cathedral and the friend of
all them that were In need, but It can
scarcely be a shock, as he has been long
In poor health and for many days very low.
At the family home, 2405 Bt. Mary's av
enue, where his death occurred, there were
assembled his wife, his two young sons and
his maiden sister. Miss Jsne Fsir. who
came recently from Dublin to be with him.
He had also a elster, Mrs. John M. Fletcher
of Baltimore, Md., and two brothers, T.
William Fair and John Fair, both of Dub
lin. At 5 o'clock yesterdsy morning Dean
Fair's condition grew alarmingly worse, as
at that hour he suffered a severe sinking
spell. During the day he gradually grew
weaker, until at 4 o'clock he dropped Into
a peaceful slumber, from which he did not
wake, passing away one hour later,
The funeral arrangements have not been
decided upon, but In accordance with the
wlshea of the family a service will be held
at the cathedral, the remains being taken
later to Baltimore, which city was the
home of Mra. Fair, and where the deceased
dean once occupied a pastorate.
Born In Ireland
Long before be came to Omaha, In 1897,
to be dean of Trinity cathedral Campbell
Fair was known as one in touch with the
poor and the humble, yet he sprang from
proud stock and has been a man of study
always. Born at Hollymount, county Mayo,
(Ireland, April 28, 1843, he was the third
son of John Fair, one of the landed pro
prletors of Ireland, and of Maria Wilson
Fair, whose family was prominent In the
old banking circles and legal fraternity of
Dublin, i After his father's death, which oc
curred when the dean was quite young and
which left the widow with eight children
to rear, Campbell was placed In the hands
of a tutor, who prepared .him for Trinity
college, Dublin, from which he graduated
with a particular fondness for mathematics
and with the intention of becoming a civil
engineer. In the course of a fifteen-month
apprenticeship with this in view, however
he became Imbued with a strong desire to
enter the ministry and eventually took a
course in St. Adams' Theological college at
Birkenhead. England. From this he grad
uated, In 1865, with the highest honors and
waa Teady for ordination several months
before be had attained canonical age and
apent the Intervening time In broader study
and travel. He was ordained finally on
Trinity Sunday, June 9, 1865, at St. Asaph's
cathedral, North Wales, by the right rev
erend bishop of Asaph and was tmme
diately appointed to the curatecy of Holy
Trinity church, Birkenhead. While there
he not 'only filled the office of chaplain of
St. Arden'a college, which waa considered
quite an honor for one so young, but did
much work among the laboring men, organ
Izlng .the Workingmen'a Mutual Improve
ment society of Birkenhead, a local body,
but with large membership, and atill In
existence.
Receives Order of Priest.
In 1866 he received the order of priest at
the hands of the late bUhop of Chester and
left Birkenhead for Dublin, where he was to
serve as a missionary for the Irish Church
Missions to Roman Catholics. In 1867 be
; went t0 Loon t0 become the secretary of
this society and was made curate of St.
Jude's church, Chelsea. It was a most
fashionable locality and he gained Influen
tial friends who were valuable In his later
charitable undertakings.
But while traveling for the society he
suffered severe injuries In a train wreck
between Birminghead and Llandudro,
Wales, and the accident was perhaps Indi
rectly responsible for his being later In
America and in Omaha. The shock and
the wounds caused a nervous affection that
cost blm bis senses of bearing, taste and
smell, prematurely whitened his hair and
forever blasted his frame. When, after two
years' confinement to his bed, he was able
to move about on crutches, the doctors or
dered a sea voyage, and In 1870, with his
mother, he crossed to New York. Physic
ians there promptly advised that the win
ter be spent In the south and be went to
New Orleans, where he preached upon many !
occasions balanced upon his crutches and I
unable to hear one word bis lips framed
Electrical treatment eventually restored
his senses and one day, while in the pul-
pit, he determined to attempt to stand and
walk without his supports. The effort was
successful, to the surprise of all present,
and the choir burst forth with a hallelujah.
This occurred In -Christ's church, and In
181 he was made assistant rector of the
same. He practically bad entire charge,
as the' rector was old and in poor health.
Hla First Marriage.
February 1, 1875, he married Alice,
youngest daughter of William J. McLean,
a retired merchant of New Orleans, and on
the same day he accepted the rectorship
of St. Ambrose's church in the slum dis
trict of New York. He and bis bride went
there at once, but remained only a short
time, as he waa called to the rectorship
of the Church of the Ascension In La
fayette square, Baltimore. There he re

LONDON, Dec. 15. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Although
the government made no explicit declara
tion In favor of arbitration, tonlght'a de
bates In the Lords and Commons pointed
to that solution being adopted If the prop
osition la brought before the government
In a shape In which It can accept.
William Randall Cremer, M. P., secretary
of the International Peace and Arbitra
tion association, said tonight:
If the American secretary of state took
his stand now as Secretary Olney did under
Cleveland rv the Monroe doctrine and advo
cated arbltiatlon it would be accepted at
once and could solve the difficulty, or If
congress would make a declaration In favor
of arbitration It would be equally effective.
Sir Charles DUke was asked If he thought
the Venezuelan difficulties could be .settled
by arbitration, and he answered:
I do not profess to any special knowledge
on the subject, but I should say not. I no
not think In dealing with these bankrupt
states, where so many get by arbitration,
say 10,OCO for a claim of 70,000, that
arbitration Is good enough.
But Is bombardment likely to get a higher
proportion of the claim?
No. Therefore I think It was a case for
sitting still on our part and doing nothing.
We are accustomed to being robbed by
Insolvent states. We have been robbed by
Venezuela before and continually by Tur
key, for Instance, but have done nothing.
We should have done nothing In this rase.
In view of the evident impossibility of
getting anything from Venezuela by this
demonstration, does not the adopting of
force at this particular moment seem par
ticularly remarkable?
It Is dangerous, specially that we should
have been Involved with Uermany In these
proceedings.
John Burns, M. P., said:
I certainly do think this Is a case for
arbitration. I consider the action of Eng
land and Germany reckless In the extreme.
but It Is only another Illustration of the
power of companies and trust. It lies with
tne American government to say wnetner
there shall be axbltratlito or a continuance
of this Insenate violence, which ran do no
good and contains germs of untold troubl.
Orders to Uo Slow.
An expressed desire for a peaceful set
tlement of the difficulties has been re
ceived in London from the Venezuelan
government, and orders will be, or have
been, sent to the British commander
In Venezuelan waters to take no further
aggressive action at present, pending a
decision being arrived at on the proposition
for arbitration, which Lord Lansdowna an
nounced In the House of Lords "1 now
under consideration by the British govern
ment." Lord Lansdowne added: "We ara grSatly
Indebted to the good offices of th United
States minister at Caraoaa."
These are the original proposals for
warded by Mr. Bowen, but which have now
received strong support from the United
States government.
In Ambassador Choate'a absence tho
American charge d'affaires I making every
effort to arrange some specific method Of
settlement.
He is in constant communication with the
State department at Washington, but noth
ing definite has yet been arranged, though
it la understood there Is some hope of fur
ther hostilities being averted.
The negotiation are handicapped by the
absence from London of several of the cab
inet ministers, as before any answer caa be
given they will probably have to meet. No
final decision 1 expected before Wednes
day.
English Deny Responsibility.
The under foreign secretary. Lord Cran
born, denied In the House of Commons to
day that the British commander waa re
sponsible for the sinking of th Venezuelsn
hip.
He said his majesty's government had
been Informed that a German commodore
found It necessary to alnk two ships, but
Great Britain was not responsible for this.
Continuing, be said that since the par
liamentary paper giving th Venezuelan
correspondence had been Issued the gov
ernment had received from Mr. Haggard
a cable summary of what purports to be
Venezuela'a reply to th British ulti
matum. In this reply President Castro com
plains that no reparation was offered by
Great Britain for the landing of marines
or for the conduct of th British authori
ties of Trinidad, and closed by saying th
Venezuelan treasury being exhausted, It
was Impossible for the government to
meet It debt for tha moraent, but di
rectly peace wa declared It would not b
necessary to remind Venezuela of Its ob
ligation. History of tho Trouble.
A parliamentary paper, giving th cor
respondence relating to Venezuelan af
fairs, was issued thla afternoon.
Existing causes of complaint against
Venezuela are noted, Including the seizure
of British ships and protests against the
Venezuelan consul at Trinidad for exacting
Improper fees, for collecting custom for
Venezuela In Trinidad, of which "no no
tice waa taken by Venezuela."
The correspondence, which 1 dated De
cember 4, shows that as early as July ti
Germany tentatively mentioned the Vene
zuelan difficulties, and Lord Lansdowne re
plied that he would be quit ready to con
fer, with the view of Joint action.
On August Hi the British minister at
Caracas, Mr. Haggard, notified Lord Lans
downe that be had personally presented a
formal protest against the "Intolerable
conduct of the Venezuelan government,"
tatlng that unless prompt compensation
was paid to the Injured persons It would
be necessary to take atepp to exact repa
ration. Mr. Haggard concluded.

The mlniiMer accepted the note quietly.
