The' article is written by Franklin Mathews, who madf a personal investigation of the city in December.

He says: "The inves- ti4tion was what might be called Btrictly professional, in that it was undertaken from no morbid metres, and was conducted as any newspaper man of standing would make such an Inquiry. We found an appalling condition of affairs in the toleration of the lowest toleration demanded by the exigencies of politics and the desire to levy blackmail. We found that a- svstem of police blackmail is existence in Chicago, which matches in its unscrupulous nature and excent the worst phases of the police hlacfcmaU that, was levied in New York under the palmy days of Tammany rule. -We found, as the result of all this, ample justification that neither life ample justiuca-nuii nor property is safe in Chicago-a fact made plain by the dispatches the newspapers of the country for a year or more.

Washington. Jan. day yesterday the question of granting belligerent rights to the Cuban insurgents was argued in the house, but as on Tuesday the minority hurled itself against a Btone wall.

On the only vote taken motion designed to overrule the decision of the speaker and direct the committee on foreign affairs to report without further delay the Cuban passed by the senate at the last session-rthe Republicans stood solid and voted to sustain the chair. The galleries as on Tuesday, were banked to the doors, and there was considerable excitement throughout the early part ot the when the members of the minority were successively pressing all sorts of amendments bearing on the Cuban question for the purpose of embarrassing the majority. Hitt Makes a Significant Speech. During the general debate Chairman Hitt of the foreign affairs committee, made an impressive speech explaining the situation which made action by congress inadvisable. He spoke with impassioned words of the presidents sympathy with the struggle for Cuban independence and the achievements of the present administration-release of American prisoners in Cuba, the recall of Weyler, the abandonment or the policy of concentration and the autonomy scheme he attributed to the firm attitude of the president, and contrasted these'results with of the last administration.

BelliKei-ent RiRlitM of Xo Use. He averred that belligerent rights could not aid the insurgent cause, and perhaps the most dramatic portion of his speech came when he declared that the insurgents only wished for be liger- ent rights in the hope and bel.ef that this country would be embro.led a war with Spain which would give them their freedom with our triumph. He asserted that the president must assume the responsibility of any action which might eventuate in war, and appealed to both sides of the chamber to patriotically support the -executive if a crisis shall come. Appeals for Support for McKinley. He concluded with eloquent appea ti the members of the house to drown all other voices as they did in the Venezuelan crisis and stand by the president and the country.

While he could not prophesy as to the future he solemnly assured the house that the president would not disappoint the expectations of his countrymen. Throughout Hitfs speech he was listened to with crowded Washington, Jan. spirited debate was precipitated in the senate yes- terdav by the introduction of a resolution by Hoar providing for an inquiry by the committee on postoftices and concerning the recent order of the postmaster general reducing the of letter carriers in several cities of the country. Hoar declared that the order had had the effect of a dynamite bomb in creating consternation among business men throughout the countn while apparently all that was needed by the postoffice department was an appropriation of $150,000 fully to maintain the efficiency of the carrier service. The debate took a wide range, Wolcott insisting that many New England people represented by the senator from were responsible ror the deficiency in the funds of Postoffice department, because they insisted that the government should carry second class mail at an enormous loss, and Tn of Nebraska charging that the government was annually defrauded oTt of minions of dollars through the In the Direction of an Agreement Between the Coal Operators and Miners.

He arraigned Hitt and the Republican side for alleged inconsistency, citing their Cuban speeches under the Cleveland adminis- trauon and then branched off to tariff, civil service, bimetallism and various other topics. Returning to Cuba he declared that no act by this government -ould bring war with Spain, for a bankrupt monarchy which could not put 35,000 ragged Cuban soldiers not enter upon a contest with United States.

Chicago, was done resterday by the conference of operators and miners now In session here. Work in the secret conference of the scale committee Is proceeding slowly, yesterday's debate hinged principally on the eight-hour question. The miners' delegates did not insist on the eight-hour day, but sought to bring about a plan of uniformity in matter of hours throughout the soft coal neld While the operators In some of the states would prefer that the ten- hour system in Pennsylvania and Illinois remain in force, they, as a whole, were willing to agree upon a compromise of nine hours' labor.

This much gained establishes uniformity of hours of labor and brings the committee face to face with the difficult problem of differentials. The fight which has been waged between Ohio and Pennsylvania for years is again before the committee. Ohio and Pennsylvania Withdraw. To facilitate action the operators from those two states withdrew from the committee room to try to patch up their differences by themselves. No vote on any questior.
