* MINE OFFICIALS Give Their Side of It to the Strike Commission. Philadelphia, Jan. 17. —More mine officials yesterday informed the coal strike commission that under the Influence of the union the mine workers restricted the production of anthracite coal and interfered with the discipline of the employes. The Erie company closed its case after calling a physician who testified to the good health of the mine workers. The Scranton Coal company then took up the attack on the demands of the miners. The witnesses testified generally that no black-list existed; that the contract miner.-; worked on an average of from six to seven hours a day; that the local unions compelled the men to load an equal number of cars, thus restrict- j ing the output; that the men were careless in obeying orders, and that frequent petty strikes occurred whenever a union man was dismissed for. insubordination. The wage statement for the year 1901 showed 986 men worked less than four months; 758 worked more than four months and re-; reived under $400; 265 worked more, than four months and received between 1400 and >500; 260 worked more than four months and earned between |SOO and $600; 18 worked nearly full; time and received between S6OO and $700; 78 worked full time and received between 3700 and $800; 23 earned from sßvo to $900; three earned from. S9OO to SI,OOO, and three received' more than SI,OOO. A HORRIBLE TALE How an American Officer Was Roasted to Death by Filipinos. — Manila, Jan. 17.—At the continua tlon yesterday of the trial of Major | Edwin F. Glenn of Fifth infantry, who is charged with unlawfully killing j seven prisoners of war in Samar, a Spaniard who was at one time held prisoner by the insurgents testified that while he was confined at the headquarters of General Lukban in Samar in May, 1900, he saw an American prisoner roasted to death. The Spaniard said sticks were driven into the man s body and he was slowly turned over the fire until dead. The body was then left to be devoured by hogs. He did not know the man's name, but thought he was an officer. Several American officers and men were cap-' tured or reported missing in Samar in j 1900, and the victim is believed to have been one of these. Serious Condition of Gonzales. Columbia. S. C., Jan. 17.—Editor N. G. Gonzales, who was shot and seriously wounded Thursday by Lieutenant Governor Tillman on the most : traveled street in the capital of South j Carolina, is barely holding his own. The best doctors in this part of South Carolina hold out little hope of his recovery. Gonzales has a strong constitution, excellent habits and a resolute will, and it is thought there is a chance for him to survive, notwithstanding the serious nature of the wound. Lieutenant Governor Tillman is taking things quietly and calmly in the county jail, where he has a comfortable room on the second floor. He had some new furniture brought to his place of confinement and has made himself comforatble. The St. Louis Is Safe. New York, Jan. 17. —Word reached this city last evening that the American line steamer St. Louis from Southampton Jan. 3 for New York, was sighted off Nantucket lightship at 6:40 o'clock, five days overdue. Signals were made to the Southshore lightship, but owing to the fact that a heavy gale was blowing they were unintelligible. The slow rate of speed at which the St. Louis was traveling indicates that unless assisted it will not reach New York until late tonight. Appearances indicated that the St. Louis was short of steam power, and the signals were thought to imply that trouble with her boilers had been experienced. Crazy Lover’s Wholesale Vengeance. Chicago, Jan. 17. —E. J. Conlin, lying in wait for his sweetheart, Jennie Dwyer, who had gone to a party with another suitor, shot and killed her upon her return home. He also shot Frank F.

New York, Jan. 17. —Bradstreet's weekly review of trade today says; With the much-needed expansion in export trade now actively in evidence, one of the few important missing elements of national prosperity has been supplied. The domestic situation also gains rather than loses in strength. While regular spring trade can hardly be said to have opened, activity is steadily increasing. The volume of shipments of spring goods is evidence of the desires of consumers and distributers to obtain possession of goods early. Retail trade in winter goods has been maintained at a good volume by the very generally diffused lower temperature. In only a few scattered instances is there any complaint of retail stocks being at all heavy. Confidence in a heavy spring business increases as that season approaches. Ail of the industries remain exceptionally active, the possible exception to this being where shortages in fuel, due to railway congestion, limit production, as in the case of soft coal and coke in the West. The strength of leading agricultural staples, notably wheat, corn and oats among the cereals, cotton among the textiles, and hog products among provisions, has been the features of the price situation. Eleven Bolomen Killed. Manila. Jan. 17.—Constabulary Inspector Fletcher, while traveling alone in the province of Albay, Luzon, last Wednesday, was attacked by thirty bolomen. Fletcher killed five of his opponents, but was himself wounded. He escaped, however, and formed a party which pursued the bolomen. overtook them and killed six more. Death sentence has been Imposed upon one of the natives who murdered five American soldiers in the cemetery at Binangonan, Luzon, on Decoration day of last year. Johnson Isn’t a Candidate. New York. Jan. 17. —Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, who is here on a business trip, was asked regarding the basis of the statement that he will be a candidate tor the Democratic nomination for governor of Ohio this year. “I am not a candidate for the nomination,” said Mr. Johnson. An Old "Forty-Niner” Dead. Missoula, Mont., Jan. ii.— James Hartford, a forty-niner" argonaut in Yuba county, California, a companion of John W.
