Dec. 10. After K. H. Har rlnian, financier, had contradicted Thomas F.

Kyan before the legislative insurance investigating committee the committee was forced to take a recess when Harrinian refused point blank to I the imines of members of the lociRlatnt and others at Albany with mit. turn he feared would be instigated by 1 1 1.. fn i. me so cuku juiiira a.vc.awei tlon in the society.

Ten minutes later Mr. Harriman returned to the witness chair and revealed the names.

He said "The men I referred to were Air. Nixon, speaker of the assembly, and Governor Higgins. Regrets Mention of Nixon. "I merely asked them whether there was any legislation preparing in regard (ous consideration, and have had con siderable correspondence relating to it. I regret very much to say that my views are not in accordance with these expressed by some of the delegates.

I am us much concerned for the wel I fare of the oiu or superannuated min ers as any one here, but I am not wil ling that the miners shall build their own poorhouses. I am not willing that the State of Pennsylvania or the various counties within it shall be relieved of the burden of caring for miners as well as they care for other citizens. "If the State of Pennsylvania will relieve the coal miners of the taxes they pay to maintain the present almshouses, both for themselves and for other old and superannuated citizens, then I say, yes, we will build our own poorhouses, and maintain them. "It was exceedingly considerate of the legislature to enact a law and create a confmission and make an ap propriation which gives us the right to go down in our own pockets and pay for our own care when we get too old to work. The State of Pennsylvania is very generous to us.

We want homes for our old and our crippled and poor miners, but do we not con tribute enough to the welfare of this State for the State to take care of our people without putting an additional tax upon us? "Congressman Huff, down here in Greensburg, is an influential member of the commission. Do you know who Congressman Hurt is? Congressman Huff never had a union man in the! mine and if one joined the union he! would tire him. Of course, I am aware that the personality of Congressman Huff has little to do with the merits of the bill itself, but I am op posed to the entire principle laid down in this act. In many towns in Penn sylvania the miners pay practically all the taxes. How nice it would be for them to keep poorhouses for every one else, paying for them out of their taxes, and then keep up others for themselves.

"What we ought to do is to ask the legislature of Pennsylvania to make provision, as is done in the countries of Europe to pay pensions, not only to aged and crippled miners, but to the wornout veterans of industry, no mat tor where they are employed." The resolution favoring the miners' home plan was then unanimously killed. There followed a protracted discussion as to the use of miners" union buttons and addresses by Philadelphia union organizers. FINANCIAL AND rOMMEKCIAl, New York Stock Markets, furnished by M. S.

AGAINST MINERS HOME Radical Action Taken by Convention Yesterday.

Dec. 16. The tri district convention of the United Mine Workers of America has adjourned. The final session was held this morning and was declared at an end at 11 o'clock. As soon as it concluded there was a general exodus from the town of delegates and others who were interested in the session.

The dissolution cf the convention does not mean that the interest of the mine workers in the town ceases, for there is being held this afternoon a session that is in many senses quite as important as the convention itself. The executive committee is meeting, and it is probable that something definite will be done in preparation for the expected conference between the committee and the mine owners. There was very little done at the convention this morning. It was called to order at 10 o'clock by President Mitchell and preparations were made at once for adjournment. Minor matters were considered for a short time and the meeting was dismissed finally an hour after it had been called.

It Is expected that the next tri district meeting will be held in Haz eton, at a time to be decided by the committee. Yesterday Afternoon's Session. Fridav afternoon's session the convention was interesting, yet com paratively little real business was transacted. A few resolutions suggesting demands to be made on the operators were referred to the special committee appointed at Friday morning's session. A resolution denouncing Governor Peimypacker and the legislature for creating the State constabulary force was broached amid intense excitement.

The convention was in an uproar when President Mitchell called for a vote on the subject, the committee on resolutions having refused to recommend the resolution. So hen tod grew the argument over the constabulary question that a demand was made by delegates on members of the legislative committee to tell what they had done at Harrisburg to prevent the passage of the law. District President Fahy then jumped to his feet and announced that he to explain th qunwitflm." He "1 consider the coal and iron police law, likewise the constabulary enactment, to be an open insult to the mine workers. I am not speaking against the individuals, but against the system. I don't know of any place where such a law exists, where a corporation may employ policemen to be triven powers by the State, and instructions from their employers to do as they please and no one to be responsible for this action.

The State has no right to take this stand. "The constabulary is considered on practically the same footing with the coal and iron police. This kind of an organization disgraced Ireland and it will this country We did not want the constabulary, but it was a slight im provemcnt over the old law, and it was the pet measure of the governor and to fight it would have meant the non passage of two more important laws to this union. Two of these companies will be in the anthracite fields, two companies in the bituminous, and would suggest the starting of one at Harrisburg to watch the governor." Then by a close vote the resolution was rejected. A resolution came up favoring the proposition made by the commission created by the legislature, that the operators pay one mill a ton and the i miners five cents a month each, to i maintain a home for atred and indi I 8tock market SpeCulntn.

Lawson and his friends, and the event is awaited with great anxiety by those in the copper market, where it is reported that Lawson is in a dangerous position. That his bear pool has been hit hard Is announced in a statement by Law son himself, who says that the moncj be has in the pool is his all and if he is wiped out he will be ruined, but that be has no complaint. He also says that be expects no mercy and proposes to give none if things come his way. In bis statement the Boston operator admitted a loss to date of $3,400,000. He said that his portion of the $6,600,000 still remaining of the first pool of $10.

000,000 and of the $5,000,000 additional embraced every dollar of his fortune. Amalgamated Above Par. The Standard Oil combine pushed up Amalgamated to 102, establishing a new high record since the boom of 1901 and verifying their prediction of ten days ago that the stock would cross par before Christmas. With grave faces they assured the public that the real reason why copper was going up was because it was scarce, etc. To enforce their argument, as alleged, they advanced the price of copper metal one eighth cent, carrying the quotation for lake and electrolytic copper to 18 cents a pound.

The Standard Oil people freely pre dieted twenty cent copper and assured their friends in Wall street that Amalgamated would go to 110 before New Year's day. There was a wild scene around the copper post when the new high record price for the stock was reached. A great many persons, scattered all over the country, are believed to have been, like Lawson, hard hit by the ex traordinary advance against the shory interest they had been encouraged take by the' Boston operator.

All this was regarded with doubt in Wall street, where it was pointed out that any one who understood the conditions in the copper metal market must have been aware of the fact that earnings were constantly increasing with the unparalleled demand and con sumption. Mr. Lawson's connection with the copper trade, together with his experience, it is pointed out. must have taught him that copper stocks were pot on sale during the advance in prices.

A REVENUE MEASURE Representatives Unanimous for Its Return. Washington, Dec. 16. Shortly after the house mot a message from the senate was received anuouncing that the senate had passed a senate bill removing disabilities from the Panama canal bonds. Mr.

Payne at once offered a resolution stating that "the bill, in the opinion of the house, contravenes the first clause of the seventh section of the first article of the constitution and is an infringement of the prerogatives of the house and that the senate bill be taken from the speaker's table and be respectfully returned to the senate, with a message communicating this resolution." Mr. Payne explained that the senate bill was clearly a revenue measure and should have originated in the house. This statement was received with applause, which continued when Mr. Williams, the minority leader, took the same position. Unanimous Vote by House, Without further debate a rising vote was cad.

As every one stood up in ta vor of the resolution, the speaker announced, while the house burst into laughter, "386 members have voted in the affirmative." The house devoted four and three quarter hours to debate on the possibilities of controlling insurance companies. Two set speeches were the feature. One by Mr. Shorley, (Ky.) bore on the doctrine of state's rights, and the other, by Mr. Cockran (N.

related to the actions of the officers who manage the big life insurance companies of his state. Mr. Cockran proposed that congress, through its tuxing power, should confine all insurance companies to the state in which they are organized. Tillman Speaks on Canal. The Panama canal was again under consideration by the senate, and Mr.

Tillman occupied the entire time giv en to tnnt subject except wueu he gave! way to questions from or interruptions by other seuntors. He did not indicate finy Intention of opposing the passage of the appropriation bill, but he criticised the methods of the canal commission in many of its transactions. He raised the question as to whether President is still in the employ of Ihe Clover Leaf railroad and said that the railway register still carries his name as the head of that road. Senator Tillman sharply criticised the employment of Secretary Bishop as a press representative, and Mr. Hale Joined In this censure, saying that Mr.

Bishop's employment in that capacity is a reflection not only upon congress, but upon the press. A part of Mr. Tillman's remarks was devoted to a criticism of the president's policy in Santo Domingo, and Mr. Spooner defended the president's course. When the senate adjourned the bill was still pending, but there was an agreement for a vote.

It developed at a meeting of the sen ate committee on foreign relations that it is Santo Domingo and not the Unit ed States that is anxious to have amended the pending treaty iu rela tlon to Dominican financial affairs.
