"rnator Tillman's Report. Senator Tillman today presented to the senate his report from the committee on Interstate commerce on tht house railroad rate bill, which expressed his views, hut did not pretend to speak for aay other member of the committee. 1 it embodied thi first Clear and) oonctst statement of the difference concerning court review fe-.uure ami other proposed amendments that l:itl n.arlc a unanimous report from the ' committee Impossible. Without hesitancy the senator declared It to be his belief that the bill should be amended, but that amendments should not be of a character to impair or prevent th accomplishedment of the objections of the legislation, which are set forth best he says, in the president's message to congress. He emphasised thp need of re girding the. measure "as nonpartisan, ' but predicted that the Issue created will be J iramminl In the next presidential Vlso Ho'. A to the effect he said: "Th who nre responslhU for delay or liiodco -H'" legislation will fmd that when t la' floodgates of popular wrath and Iml r'ot'nn sre hoisted there will have been en:'i t'.re grinding done." Mr. TIHnn prefaced his report by speaking of the peculiar circumstances ruling the committee's acrmn on the house bill, which irii'le it an embarrassing task to submit views that would be concurred In by the committee as a whole. Absence of Harmony. Comentlng upon the absence of harmony In the committee's, deliberations the report says: Instsad of being amended in committee. as to usual, so as to command as a wnole too endorsement ami support of a majority of its members, the bin was brought into the senate In a form not entirely aaiisiae tory to more than two members, l'ariy lines in the oommlttev were broken down, and th bill is in. the senate by reason of the union of five memoeri of tne minority party and three members of the majority party in congress wno concurred in report ing It favorably, and while these eight senators are agreed as to the general pur P"83 and scope of the bill, there are radical dlfrereuoea aiming them as to the amend ments that ought to be incorporated In it. Thin luck of harmony among tho sup porters of the bill It would be speaking with more accuracy to say the supporter of th policy Involved in the bill brings about the anonomalous situation in whicn a member of the minority party In congress It put In charge in the senate of a proposed legislation wnluh is generally regarded throughout the couutry as the cherished schema of the president, with whose gen eral policy and piuiciples that nwm.er Is not in accord. At the swine time, the bill is designed to carry into effect his own long cherished convictions and th thrice reiterated demands f the party to which fas belongs. Legislation Monpnrllsan. , Hinphaalslng th claim that this condi tion I without precedent In legislative his tory. Mr. Tillman says it brings into prominence the fact that the proposed legis lation Is nonpartisan, and for this reason he urged that democrat and republicans alike should bend all their energies and lnd all that is best In them to perfecting and passing so Important a piece of legis lation.' H declared that "Woe would be the har vest of any member of the senate or house whose work In formulating a bill to regulate railroad lack earnestness or honesty of purpose and who shall seek to belitU th question or kill the bill by subterfuge and deception. Th bill a It cam from the house, Mr. Tillman characterised as loosely worded ..and capable of different interpretations, la thus commenting upun the bill. .

Yet he and such like him sit, not Judging me as peers, but judging me as conquerors, talk ing about 'yellow dogs.' " Defends John A. MeCall. The only name he mentioned was thnt of the late President MeCall, In reference to whom and to whose death he displayed Tarked emotion. He spoke of Mr. Mo- an a8 vlctlm, as having been shoul dered with the blame "the only one. the dead man, killed, the man that they drove to his grave and deserted," and declared wiai me memory or tnis man had appealed to him "to come down here and say some thing for him and just a word for myself. He declared unequivocally that every pay ment to himself by the New York Life was made with the knowledge and ap proval of the trustees and of the auditing and finance committees. He pointed out that If there had been anything the mat ter with his vouchers it was their duty to bring him te book for It, yet lie said inai -ror ten years they passed them, and then when the cry at last comes out. they say: 'Well, we did not know anything about It; this is the fellow, this is the man that has done it all.' , "When they say they did not know what was going on it excite my laughter and derision.

This was the ostensible purpose of Judge Hamilton's appearance before the commit tee to advocate the pending bill of the committee which would legislate the pres ent boards of director out of office and provide for a complete reorganization in November next.

ISSUES BETWEEN MINERS AND OPERATORS Karh Mde Ileauanded l.srir Conces sion and Employers Finally Offered to Man the Old Scale. INDIANAPOLIS, March It. The Inter national executive board of the United Mine Workers of America at a meeting held today, following the adjournment of the national convention, approved the find ing of President Mitchell In the matter of ousting Patrick Dolan from the presidency of district No. 5, western Pennsylvania, and the report of the board tomorrow will confirm the 011811110 of Dolan by the con vention of district No. 6 and the appoint ment of three members of the executive board to take charge of the .district affair until the office is filled by special election. After a, heated session lasting three hours. behind closed doom. In which Dolan's claims were argued by h'mrelf and Uriah Belllngliam, vice president of the district, who was also ousted from his office, the board voted unanimously to sus tain the action of the president and the district convention. Sixteen Handred Delegates Present. The national convention opened at 10 o'clook today In the German house, with over 1,000 delegates present, representing l.ttil locals. The convention has been called by President Mitchell to consider action wh,rh majr r"ult Rn agreement with the coal operators that will prevent a general strike on April 1, that would bring 25,000 men from the mines. The conference with the operators will begin here Monday next. 1 At the regular convention, which as sembled January 16, the miners had de manded an Increase in wages of 1!H per cent, the admission of the southwestern stales, a 7 per cent differential between machine und pick mining, a 12H per cent .vsnee for vnrrta at..i deadwnrk. r.ro- hlbitlon of employment of boys under IS years old, an eight hour day, a one year contract and a run-of-mlne basis. On Troublesome Resolution. Th miners also adopted a resolution of fered by Mr. Ryan of Illinois, that no district should sign a wage agreement until all the districts signed. This action, known ss the Ryan resolution will coin before the convention for action. Unless resciiKlc.l t.ie bituminous miner cannot sign a w:tge agreement until the anthracite miners nlgn an agreement with their operators. The operator on tht other hand, de manded a reduction of iO to 15 per cent. Pro,Prtlon Blnst "tampede strikes and a better system of adjudicating local trou bles. On February 21 th joint conference adjourned after the defeat of a motion that the present wage scale be continued. This motion was offered by Mr. F. L. Rob bins of PittslHirg, who was principal spokesman.. for the -operators.,? All of ths operators voted for the motion except the Illinois operators, who did not vote and all the miners voted against the motion except Patriok Dolan. who as president of the district voted the western Pennsyl vania miners for the motion. He has since been deposed from office, but has refused to resigm His esse prouably will come before the convention. Hope of Settlement, It was announced at the time the call for the present convention was Issued that Mr. Robbing and other operators had made an offer to restore the wsge scale of two year ago, which would be an Increase of 6.66 per cent over the present scale. Since the publication of that offer, operator of Indiana, Illinois. Ohio and other states interested have opposed the granting of any Increase whatever. It has been the understanding among miners' officials that the organization would accept the restor ation of the wage erale of two years ago. When the convention met today differ ences that have appeared co exist between President Mitchell and Vice President Lewis were apparently laid aside and it was the expressed wish of both officials that personal matters should not Interfere with the more Important work of the con ventlon in order that the miner might present a united front. The first business of the convention was the work of organization and the work of the greater part of the day was taken up wfth credentials of the delegates. President Mitchell Talk. Informally opening the convention Free! dent Mitchell told of conversations with Francis L. Bobbins, president of the Pitts burg Coal company, and other persons, in which the wage scale was disctuuwd In an Informal way, having from these conversa tions derived some hope for settlement of the trouble. Aside from this hope, he said, he was justified in calling th present con ventlon by the rtcelpt of the following letter: THE WHITE HOUSE. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. l!0i.-lr: 1 not with great eon cern the failure in your lat convention on joint interstate agreement to come to basis of settlement of the bituminous mining scale of wages. You, In this busl ness, have enjoyed a great Industrial peace for many years, thanks to the joint traoe agreement tnat naa resulted from the ac tion of your successive conventions, strike such as is threatened on April 1 a menace to the peace, (he business Inter ests and the general welfare of the country 1 urge you to make another effort to avert such a calamity. You and Mr. Bobbins are loint chairmen of the trade agreement coin p tttee of the National Civic Federation. 1 seems to me that tills imposes an aiidi lional duly upon you both and gives an ad dillonal reason hy each of you should Join In making this farther effort. tSigned) THEODORE ROOSEVELT. After touching on the responsibility of the delegates In the matter of making terms, j or calling a strike, Mr. Mitchell concluded as follows: As to the power and scope of the conven tion you have undoubtedly noted from tne call wiiirti was issued by your International secretary-treasurer that, while the principal purpose of the meeting is to consider our watce agreements. Its function is not con fined to ihe one subject. R may. in sdilltien thereto, transact such other bu.nnei-s as may Iw lawfully brought before it. In the consideration and discussion of all matters coining before the convention It is my earnest hope that acrimonious debate would be entirely eliminated and that e shall stand united in an earnest effort to serve our people and to secure for them a larger measure of the fruit of their toils, thai when we leave Indianapolis our organ isation, may have reguined any prestige lost a the result of the International dissension and that even those on friendly terms to labor may be satisfied that the United Mine Worker of America is a sane, jusl, business association, whose highest purpose is nix 10 aciiteve victories by means of it great siientrUi. but rather through th in hxrent Justice thut lies in the cauie tt rep- l resets. t'ulurndn Refuses Reqnlsltlon.

The crowd In all numbered about 1,000 people, many of whom were spectators and nothing more. Some of these Were women with their scortB. The most distinguishing feature of the crowd was that it lacked a lender and flxed determination. There seemed to be a real spirit of anxiety to get at the three negroes and also the four youths held for the murder of Nels Laus ten, the Cuming street saloonkeeper. One man, a big fellow, carried a rope long enough to hang several men. He stood In the background until the crowd, number ing about 200, mounted the Jail elevation and surrounded the door on the east.
