This volume comprises 612 pages and deals exclusively with labor disputes In Chicago in 1901 The commission makes no rcoommedation, but prints a summary of the testimony, in the course of which H 'says: 11 was claimed also by several of the witnesses that not only policemen them selves were prejudiced in favor of ihe strikers, but higher city authorities lean ed the same way. .'iney asserted tha* the police had their instructions not to interfere, except in case of absolute ne cessity, and several specific instances a • n cited to show that this was the case It was claimed that this attitude of the authorities, which showed itself also in the actions of the police justices nnd other inferior courts, was due to po litical influence, especially to the desi-e o£ the party in power to cater to tfio large vote of the laboring classes at the coming election. These witnesses held that strikes in Chicago have often been especially numerous just before elections and that both parties have been dispose.l t'> make political capital out of labor dif- JieuHies. PITCHED BATTLE IMMINENT. Union Miners Gathering In Force at Mntcwan, W. Va. MATE WAN W. Va., June 21.-Th e sit uation throughout the Thacker Matewan and Ding-ess coal fields today is still a grave one. Things had been bad before yesterday when the shooting occurred tout the crisis is yet to icome. Things seemed to be quiet about the mine all day today, even the Idle men standing ufbout having but little to say, even to each other, but today's quietness has , been but the calm before the storm. \\<ord of last evening's trouble spread rapidly and on early morning trains sev . eral union agents arrived. They went ; promptly to work, and early this after ; noon It was announced that they had the ■ mob under control, 'but only to plan for a • concerted action of all the union miners iln Mlngo, who numbered nearly 2 000 , They are gathering here this evening i from throughout the section and tomor. , row, pra'bably In the .morning, the strik ers will hold a meeting. • One of 'the leaders said this afternoon that if the non-union men could not be persuaded i.they would be compelled. This causes a great deal of apprehension, and the result is to "be decided. The maritime mines and a few others are running today with a half force of non-union men The guards have been quadrupled, and are standing all about the mines watch- Ing every move. In all other respects bupt. Field is still on ha.nd waiting for any emergency that may arise. On next ; Monday morning the operators will make i an attempt to eject from their property all the striking minors now oceupvin-> i houses in the coal field. This will no ; doubt cause everything to break out afresh, and the culminating point of th« crisis will likely be reached on Mon day. THE ST.

Senator Hanna—My distinguished colleague, Senator Foraker. HER IS M Gill JURY IX P-ATERSON'S SHOOTING CASE inWAiNIMOUB OX THE FIRST BAUDOT KELLER HAKES A DENIAL Says MrN. Marker's Statement That He Outraged Hep Is Untrue— Conn*el for porker Will Appeal. NEW YORK, June 21.—The jury before which Thomas G. Barker, of Arlington, N. J., was tried for shooting with intent to kill the Rev. John Keller, of the same town, took one ballot this afternoon ana returned with a verdict of guilty. Under the charge of the court they could ao little else. The jurors were told they must set aside all else and decide only if Barker with intent tired at Keller. That was the law and they muni obey it. Notice of appeal was given by Bar ker's counsel. Barker tonight found himself once more an inmate of the county jail. He must remain there until $10,000 bail 13 furnished. Before him stands a possible seven years' imprisonment and a fine of as much as 52.000. Mrs. Barker was not in the court room to hear the verdict She was in another part of the court house, and when told of the verdict sobbed bitterly. Mr. Ktl ler was also absent, and showed no emo tion when told of the verdict. Barker had expected an acquittal. He based his hopes upon the strong plea of his coun sel when he dwelt upon the unwritten law that a man has a right to kill where the sanctity of his home is assailed. Whatever the effect of this line of plead ing upon the jury, it was swept away by the cold charge of the court that "the story of the alleged outrage or the out rage itself, if true, was no justification of the defendant's assault." The court ex plained he had admitted evidence that Barker had been told of an alleged as sault, not because it had anything to do with the case, but because it was for the jury to determine if the story had anything to do with making the de fendant criminally irresponsible. If they believed the defendant was sane at the time of the shooting they must convict. ARRAIGNS MRS. BARKER'S STORY. In his closing Prosecutor Erwin asked the jurors If the woman's course was the natural one. He said her story was Improbable, because Mrs. Barker would in the natural course have told her hus band of the assault at once, and failing that, would have made a confidant of a woman and not of another man. The jury's only ballot was unanimous for guilty and a unit for the highest de gree charged. Mr. Keller, as soon as the trial was completed, issued a brief statement in which he absolutely denied the truth of the allegations that have been made and published by Mrs. Barker. Barker will probably be sentenced on Thursday next, and then his counsel will file the papers in an appeal to the su preme court. Barker, in an interview to night, said: "I did not expect such a verdict. It seemed to me there was a reasonable doubt. I believed that no twelve men would convict me after hearing my wife's story. I believe that the supreme court will give roe a new trial and ihat then my wife's story will be told." PRESSMENr CHANGE FRONT. Reverse Action Ke^anliitK M«mber- ship in Militia Organizations. WASHINGTON, June 21.—The printing pressmen, in their international conven tion here today, finally decided against the resolution requesting member of the union'to refrain from joining military or ganizations. A motion to concur in a re port favorable to the resolution made by tho committee on law was voted down The principal objection to the resolution was that it had a tendency to rob mem bers of their individual independence. The convention also voted down a reso lution demanding a readjustment of the relations of the pressmen with the Ty pographical union in relation to the mat ter of labels. A resolution providing for the refer ence of disputes with publishers to the executive committee for conference with representatives of the Union of American Newspaper Publishers' association was adopted. President O'Connell, of the Machinists union was introduced to the convention and made a brief speech, asking .-the co operation of the pressmen in settling the dimcullies of the machinists with the press manufacturers of the country. He said there were six establishments of that character holding out against the demand for a nine-hour day. He said in this connection that already a shorter day, with a reduction of pay, had been se cured for about 125,000 working men by this move of the machinists. Mr. O'Connc-11 was received enthusias tically, and a motion indorsing the posi- tion of the machinists and providing for the appointment of a committee to aid them was unanimously adopted. MURDER TRIAL ADJOURNED. Seventh Day Adventist on Morrison Jury nt Eldorado, Kan. ELDORADO, Kas., June 21.—1n the sec ond trial of Jessie Morrison on the charge of killing Mrs. Olin Castle, the defense rested today. Adjournment was then taken until Monday, owing to what is believed to be the most peculiar reason in court annals. J. J. Sproul, one of thf Jurors, stated to Judge Aikman, when the evidence was all In, that he desired to be excused from sitting in the case tomorrow. Ask ed why, he replied that he is a member of the sect known as the Seventh Day Adventists, and observe the last day of the week as Sabbath. The judge con ceded the request. and adjourned court until Monday, when closing arguments will begin. Judge Aikman today admitted as evi dence the blood-stadned clothing said to have been worn by the defendant when she engaged with Mrs. Castle in the fatal razor affray. Two witnesses were Introduced by the state in rebuttal of statements made by the defendant. Rev. Stull and W. J. Scott told of statements made to them by Miss Morrison differing quite material ly from that which she made on the witness stand. Hayward Morrison, the prisoner's broth er, then testified in rebuttal, denying the statements made by Scott and Siull. RANAVALO WEEDS A DRESS. French Paper Starts Subscription for Ex-Queen of '. Madw ac«*;car. PARIS, June 21.—A publlo subscription has been opened to buy Ranavalo, the dethroned queen of "Madagascar, a black satin gown. Ranavalo has been allowed to leave Al giers for a few weeks' visit to Paris. She wished to take back with her a black satin gown, but found sfhe could not afford to buy it, her allowance from the French government being too small. The anti-ministerial newspapers which have been attacking the government on account of its parsimonious treatment of the dethroned queen, took the matter up. La Presse started the subscription today, and 730 francs have already been received, Henri Rochefort heading the list with 50 francs. A number of deputies and municipal councilors are among the donators of the gown. To the annoyance of the government, Ranavalo has accepted the gift. BOOMERS IN HARD LUCK.

WASHINGTON-, June 21.-Secretary Root has received a report from Gov. Gen. Wood concerning affairs in Cuba, in which the governor general says the ac tion of th© constitutional convention in accepting the Platt amendment, as pass ed by congress, Is received with general satisfaction throughout the Island. The great difficulty which Is now contended with in Cuba is that relating to com mercial affairs, and the necessity for bet ter markets for Cuban products without the tariff restrictions in the United States. Nothing can be done, however, until the Cuban government is formed, when a reciprocity arrangement may be made, but this will require ratification by the senate. An order of Gen. Wood relating to debts and mortgages will, it is under stood, tide over the difficulties which were feared a short time ago. NEBRASKA CYCLONE DOES DEADLY WORK Two Families Living Near Naper Practically Wiped Out by Twister Thursday Evening.

MURDER OF HOSHI TORU WAS FORMERLY JAPANESE MIN ISTER AT WASHINGTON. YOKOHAMA, June 21.-Hoshi Toru, who was minister of Communication in the last lto cabinet, was stabbed today at a meeting of the city assembly and died shortly afterwards. Hoshi Toru was Japanese minister at "Washington, and was formerly president of the houee. The assassination is supposed to have been due to politics. Washington officials cf the Japanese le gation wree shocked when informed through the Associated Press advices of the assassination. His service here as minister lasted from 1596 to 1808. Ho is •well known both in diplomatic and otlicia] circles. Before coming here he was prom inent in the politics of his country, and on returning to Japan he became a mem ber of the cabinet, serving as minister of communication. His oftlcial life In Washington and at home were marked by vigor and decisiveness, and these characteristics brought him much enmity In certain political circles in Japan. This resulted In charges affecting his Integrity as a member of the cabinet, and rather than compromise his associates by tiie controversy he tendered his resignation and began libel suits against his de tractors. Feeling ran high over the affair, and it is probably due to this that the fatal ity occurred. Mr. Hoshi leaves a wife and one son. the latter nine years old. He v/as forty eight years of age, and besides his prominence in politics, was a student and a man of littrary accomplishments. AMBASSADOR WHITES PLANS. Envoy to Germany Hats No Thought of ReaiKnlner.

Ten families occupied flats in the building. So great was the force of the explosion that a boy playing in the street half a block away was lifted from his feet and hurled against an Iron fence. One of his legs was broken. A trolley car was, directly in front of the building- when the explo sion occurred. The burst of flame blown out into the street scorched the sides of the car and singed the hair of the Pas sengers. A number of those- who were on the upper floors of the building when the explosion took place were either stunned and then burned to death or round es cape cut off and were suffocated. After the first explosion there was a succession of smaller ones, and then came a second big explosion which was muffled and deadened, and probably occurred in the cellar.

SOUND HORSES DROWNED. Kipling Mltfht Write a Poem on This Ab«cat-Miml<Ml De^sar. LONDON, June 21.— During the discus sion in the house of commons today of the necessity for anointing only qualified veterinary surgeons as officers In the Rtmount department, it transpired that during the voyage of the steamer Ctr vona from New Orleans to Cape Town a remount officer, contrary to the advice, of the veterinary surgeon, caused 870 horses, valued at £6,755 to be thrown overboard, under the belief that they were suffering from glanders. It was afterwards proved that the horses war* only suffering from ordinary colds. \oXm, probably, is the origin of the story, cir culated by Boer agents, of the pin* or glanderel horses to South Africa.
