Mr. Dietrich of Nebraska referred to a ponversation he had had with Aguinaldo regarding the Malolos convention, which pdopted the so-called constitution in which guinaldo had told him that no representa- ives from amy of the southern islands or pny of the provinces of the island of Luzon e present. This statement brought a reply from Mr. Patterson of Colorado to the effect that as Mr. Deitrich had opposed wending for Agulnaldo to appear before the Philippioe committee, he did not think a conversation with Aguiraldo, who was about 8,000 miles away and unable to de- fend himself, should be repeated The senate took a further recess for fitteen minutes. On reconvening Mr. McComas of Mary- land criticised Mr. Patterson for his de- fense of Aguinaldo and Mr. Dietrich fol- lowed with some remarks that were so personal that Mr. Balley of Texas called Mr, Dietrich to order and requested that his words be taken down.

STRIKE PROGRESSES SLOWLY Mine Workers Hlve Lm]e Buocoess in Bring- ing Ont Additional Men, COMPANIES STRIVE TO KEEP MOVING Minor D is Comparatively Free from Dis- order—Ireland Anxious to Settle Trouble, turbances Oceur, but Reglon WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 3.~There were no developments or incidents of spe- ¢lal mention in the anthracite coal miners’ strike today. The mine workers tried hard to bring out additional engineers, firemen and pumpmen, and the companles are equally earnest in their efforts to hold the employes that have been loyal to them. The strikers succeeded in getting out quite a number and one or two colllerles were compelled to shut down their pumps because of a lack of men, but in all other cases the operators were able to fill the vacancies by drawing on their reserve forces of office and other employes. The mine owners claim that thus far they have employed few non-union men. The entire coal belt remains compara- tively quiet, although disturbances of a minor nature are becoming more frequent. At Miners Mills this morning and this evening men and women gathered in the streets and on corners and hooted the men that came from the mines to go to their homes. At Plymouth also this evening there was a small demonstration against those still working at the engines and pumps in the collleries there. About 100 men, women and children fol- lowed the workers to thelr homes, calling them names along the way. Sometimes the workers goin gto their homes are ac- companied by policemen. They have been cautioned not to notice the actions of the crowds unless they attempt to do the men bodily harm. In nearly every colliery temporary lving quarters have been provided for those em- ployes who do not care to leave the place. Colored cooks are being brought into the reglon to provide for these men. Today about 200 men from Nuremburg marched into Oneida, where Coxe Bros. & Co. have a big colliery. There was some permiscuous shooting, but no one was in- jured. A car carrying special oficers was sent from Drifton to the scene of the dis- turbance, but when the police reached there the crowd had dispersed. President Mitchell tonight gave out a statement, in which he sald: Detalled reports from all quarters of the anthracite fleld indicate that the number of engineers, firemen and pumpmen Who ceased work yesterday was considerably increased today. There have been no violations of law on the part of the strikers, and our predictions made last week, that the mine workers would be law abiding, have been more than yerified by the events of yesterday and to- The coal strike is remarkable in many respects. Were It not for the fact that the coal companies have a veritable army of private guards and coal and iron police employed, there would be no exterior evi- dence that a great industrial contest was being waged. We are sure that the splendid conduct of the men and boys who are engaged in this great, silent and passive struggle for at least a small share of our country's prosperity must commend itself to all well isposed persons. Ireland Anxlous to Settle Strike. NEW, YORK, June 3.—Archbishop Ire- land, who, as a member of the arbitration committee of the Civic federation, is anx- fous to settle the strike of the anthracite mine workers, is in this city, and has had a consultation with several other members of the committee. The committee can, however, take no active part unless some- thing happens to give it an opportunity to come forward as a peacemaker. Scarcity of anthracite coal in this city Is now more apparent than at any time since the strike began. Big trucks laden with 86ft coal are to be seen depositing their loads in front of many office bulldings, the superintendents being willing to risk fines rather than have thelr elevators stopped. Not a single bid for anthracite coal has been received by Dock Commissioner Hawks In response to advertisemen It is sald the Manhattan Elevated ral- road has four weeks' supply of anthra- clite and will mix it with soft coal in order to make it go further. Other large con- sumors are using soft coal freely and are willing to let the use of it mow be tested In the courts. It is a question of burning soft coal or going out of business, they say. Special Offcers K » HAZLETON, Pa., June 3.—The five spe- cial officers who were kidnaped by strikers t the rallroad station here upon thelr arrival from Philadelphia last night re: turned home teday in charge of J. P. Gal- lagher, district attorney of the United Mine workers, who furnished the tra portation. The mine workers will make an effort to check the hiring of men in Phila- delphia by representatives of the coal com- panies and may ek the ald of labor unions of that city in the movement. MAHANOY CITY, Pa., June 3.—Two hun- EITHER WAY HURTS, A Cross Fire On Coffec Users. The breaking away from coffee is an ex- ceedingly serious problem to many people, especially when headaches follow leaving off the drug, and dyspepsia and bowel trou- ble grows more and more eerious it the coftee is continued. So there you are be- tween two fires. A comparatively easy way out was taken by a lady from Franklin, Pa., who says, “We had & curious experience with coffe Husband bad been, for many years, a suf- ferer from dyspepsia, with heartburn, head- aches and genmeral nervous trouble. We tried & great many physicians and a great many remedies but none of them did him any lasting good. “We concluded there must be something about his employment that thus affected bim. One day a man told him that probably coffee was the cause of his trouble and ad- vised him to use Postum. The first time I made it 1 studied directions and made it good. Well that day was a day long to be remembered. We liked the Postum but we had a hun- dred headaches compressed into one. You sea the trouble was we had both used coffee 80 long that out nerves were in a state of collapse without the usual stimulant. Un- til then I did not dream I was such a slave to coffee but we bad to do something to quit, 8o the next morning I used Postum with part coffee and we missed the head- aches, then I used less coffee every morn- ing for about two weeks, and then Postum alone for nearly a year mow, and I just wish you could see the change in my hus- band. He has better bealth than he ever hAd before, never has the headache, c 4nythiag he wants, does not b bura or apy stomach trouble, and he can- not be induced to drink coffee under any circumstances. ‘When anybody mentions dyspepsia in bis presence he tells them what cured him. “Jt my name will do any good, use it, for entirely well, and have gone up from 9§ pounds to 108 pounds and am so thankful for the blessing of good health. “] was almost as bad as be but am now we stand by Postum always.” Mrs W. A bitn b ot dred union pickets guarded the approach to Tunnel Ridge colllery of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and’ Iron ecompany at the western end of the city today and re tused to pass James Holloway, Charles Carl, George Oliver and Willlam Doddes, all bosses. ‘They were forced to return home, Maple Hill colllery resumed the holsting of water this morning. Strikers held up the engineers at the Gilbertom water shaft this morning and as a result the hoist is idle. Three Strikes in Des Moines, DES MOINES, la., June 3.—Three strikes are in progrees and three in prospect in this city. Union machinists to the number of 100, Including boflermakers and black- smiths, are out, and approximately 150 plumbers have quit work. Union steam fit- ters and gas fitters havo acted jointly with the plumbers. Vice President Campbell of the natlonal organization of iron molders has arrived and the local union will strike unless its demands are met. Machinists and molders demand reduction to nine hours without decrease in wages. Plumb- ers and steam fitters demand 60 cents a day increase. Barbers demand a 15-cent cale and waiters demand a $10 a week scale. Arbitration Board to Investigate. DENVER, June 3.—The Stdte Board of Arbitration today began an Investigation of the building trades strike, which has kept 50,000 men In idleness for more than a week, despite the refusal of the con- tractors to agree to arbitration. The bricklayers' union has notified the con- tractors that {ts members are willing to work with nonunion hod carriers, but the carpenters, painters, building laborers and ihside wire men's unions have reaffirmed their determination to continue the strike until an eight-hour work day is granted to the wood workers and the planing mills. The contractors say they will not re-employ the strikers until all their unlons leave the bullding trades coun- cil, which ordered the strike.
