the mine workers at Scranton tomor-
row, but there is not the slightest
doubt that the delegates will approve
the action of their representatives.
This outcome of a dispute which
threatened to develop into a long, bit-
ter struggle and paralyse a great In-
duotry, was looked upon with consld-
erable gratification by the coal oper-
ators, as the agreement entered into
s their first proposition made early in
Marchinreply to the mine workers —
original demands.
The miners had little to say regard-
ing the agreement except that it was
the best they could do.
They pointed out, however, that the
agreement entered into Is the first
general agreement that has ever been
signed between operators-and miners.

Washington, May 7.—The senate to-
day spent the major portion of its time
on one amendment to the railroad rate
bill, but Instead of accepting It adopted
a substitute. The provision which was
made the basis of the discussion was
that suggested by Mr. Foraker pro-
hibiting the granting of rebates, passes,
drawbacks or special rates to passen-
gers on railroads and also prohibiting
। discriminations in way of accommoda-
; tions where equal rates are paid. The
■ discussion took a broad range, cover-
; ing first the pass question and then
, the race question in the southern
i states. The race issue was raised in
: connection with the clause relative to
i discriminations, which was interpreted
as referring to separate care for the
races, and it called out very warm
; protests from Mr. Bacon, Mr.* Money,
Mr. Culberson and other southern sen-
ators.
Mr. Money declared he would not
support the rate bill with a provision
। which raises the race issue. Mr. Cul-
I bersc n also contended for the ellm-
nation of that question and offered a
substitute accomplishtng more than

for the reason as given that the au-
thorities of the United States will not
intervene in sanitary matters in those
states, that last year Havana was not
informed of the existence of yellow
fever in New Orleahs until six weeks
after the first case had occurred, and
that the present season there will be

quarantine is suggested against Flor-

Fort Worth, May 7.—Capps, Canty.
Hanger & Short, attorneys for the
Fort Worth live stock exchange, have
sprung a sensation here today in con-
nection with the recent antitrust suits
against members of the exchange by
commencing contempt proceedings
against Assistant Attorney General
Lightfoot in the Seventeenth district
court.
The ex parte proceedings were com-
menced at 9 o’clock Saturday night,
when the chief deputydistrict clerk
was called from his home to file the
papers. The fact that the action had
been taken did not leak out until today.
The petition asks the court to have
the assistant attorney general cited to
appear to show why he should not be
adjudged guilty of contempt for re-
moving from the county to Austin

Washington, May 7.—Notwithstand-
ing that this was the 'speaker’s birth-
day, the house after a splendid dem-
onstration to Mr. Cannon as he as-
cended to the speaker's table, settled
down to one of the biggest day’s in the
history of the present session.
The minority leader, Mr. Williams .
of Mississippi, developed a mill fili-
buster early in the session, having in
mind the statehood bill, and for the
additional purpose of advising the
house that it could not enact legisla-
tion without the presence of a quorum.
Beyond a roll call and now and then
on the suggestion of the absence of a
quorum on the part of the democrats
the day was notable for the number
of bills passed, forty-five in number,
covering a wide range of subjects.
Many of the bills passed could have
been passed by unanimous consent,
but with Mr. Williams’ determination
to object to any legislation by unan-
imous consent, these bills camo up
under suspension of the rules, thia" be-
ing known as "suspension day."
Mr. Sherman of New York, chair-
man of the Indian affairs committee,
moved that the rules be' suspended that
the/Indian Appropriation bill be taken
from the speaker’s table and sent to
conference. • Mr. Sherman said it was
obvious that the Indian bill should be
sent to conference at once, that there
were amendmnts to the bill carrying
nearly >3,000,000 over the house bill
and covering a wide range of subjects.
The rules were suspended and the mo-
tion adopted. The following conferees
were appointed on the Indian appro-
priation bill:
Sherman of New York, Currie of
Kansas and Stephens of Texas.
Mr. Hepburn of Iowa then presented
an order giving to the pure food bill,
the bill to restrict immigration and
the bill providing a code of penal laws
for the United States the same right
as appropriation bills and making the
code bill a special continuing order
