MINE WORKERS
IN CONVENTION.
Fear Least They Take Some Action
That Will Curtail . Output
of Conl. .
HAZ ELTON, PA., August 27.— A con
vention of representatives of the United
Mine Workers of America from every
mine in the anthracite coal region began
here to-day, and is expected to con
tinue three or four days. Matters of
exceptional importance are to come be T
fore the convention, one being the ques
tion of the right of United Mine Work
ers' officers or representatives to go upon
the property of the various companies to
examine the; cards of miners, a privilege
which -has been so> far denied by the of
ficials at' many mines.
While expressing themselves generally
as entertaining no apprehension of trou
ble over the outcome of the convention,
the anthracite officials are nevertheless
somewhat anxious, and it - would cause
them no surprise if the convention should
take' some steps 'whereby the present
output of anthracite would be curtailed,
so as to' prevent an accumulation of
coal, arid "place the miners _ in a strong!
position to meet the /issues which are
likely, to present themselves next April,
when ..the existing one-year contract be
tween the rr/ i!le-bwners and the em
ployees expires.

soon. On last Thursday, when the con
vention reassembled /after recess, Mr.
Meredith -asked for indefinite leave of
absence' for his colleague, which was
granted. „ - "■." ■ . .

of his return and improvement in health.

He is apt to receive a most cordial
welcome when he' shows his face in the

Totals for the Tears Since ISB2—
Some of the Latest Expenditures.
The Committee "on the Executive De
partment of the government held a short
session. yesterday, morning and r examined
thejreport of the Auditor of .Public Ac
counts aa to the manner in
Governors of the . Commonwealth .. have
expended --the appropriations of $10,000
a year to tho civil contingent fund for
the past - twenty years. The" report is
interesting but it is in no way sensational.
It is made up a great 'number of small
items.: But it is hard to say that any one
of them is not entirely legitimate. The
resolution under . which 'the , convention
was furnished "with the report was intro
duced by Mr. O'Flaherty. The committee
yesterday adopted a resolution calling
upon him to appear before it and in
form; it as to what bearing the report
could -'.have on any matter now .before the
committee. Mr. O'Flaherty has said that
he wanted to have the report submitted
■in order that.he might v<ot a" intelligently
upon the recommendation of the- Re-^
trenchmenfc Committee, that the" civil
contingent fund of the Governor be re
duced to $5,000.
Former Governor Cameron called the
meeting of the committee to order and
then asked that he ; be allowed' to. retire
.from the room while the report was be
ing considered, as, for obvious reasons
he did not wish to bevpresent. But he
asked that the committee entirely disre
gard his connection with the committee
m the consideration of the report, say
ing that he wanted nothing suppressed,
and that he bad. no doubt that every
one of the men who; had occupied the
gubernatorial office -since he had" also
wanted the committee to consider the
full- facts. He, called Mr. Glass to the
chair, and. retired, a member of the com
mittee saying as he left the room, "There
goes an honest man."- Mr. Marshall, at
the outstart moved, that the report be
made public and the motion was carried
without dissent.
As stated there tare no; items in the
report which are at all sensational. ; Fol
lowing/ are the totals for all years tir.ca
1882 when Mr. Cameron' was Governor.
