The Chi- jjuo, Indianapolis and Louiaville Rell fiy Company to-day filed with the Interstate Commerce Oommiuion its piwer to the complaint of the Ken tnrkv State Railroad Commission re tarding an alleged merger of Interests Zmanz the railroad in the South. The Diwer deniea that the road la a party to in J of the combination alleged or to my of the contracts, arrangements u agreements alleged- in the com nitint. The answer deniea that either be Kentucky Commission or the In terstate Commerce Oommiuion has jurisdiction in the case. It says the complain falls to ahow that any 0f the defendants hare violated, or propose to violate, the inter lUte commerce act or any act of Congress or jreoerai jaw, in the ab ience of which, the answer says, the complainant commission is entitled to no relief whatever, as to whether J. P. Morgan naa oecome either legal owner or trustee ior the owners or stock in the defendant companies, and oss secured practically the manage ment and operation of their affairs, the iniwer says the Chicago, Indianapolis ind Louisville railway has no knowl edge that would enable it to admit or deny this charge, and therefore leaves complaint to prove it. The same inswer is made to the allegations as to the acquirement of the majority of the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville stock by the Morgan firm, for and in the interest of the Louisville and Nashville ind of the Southetn Rallwap, and as to the acquirement of various railroads and the consolidations of certain lines by the other defendants, as alleged. The u&icago, maianapous ana Louisville, however, avers that eyen if it be true,- as alleged. that the majority in control of its stock was acquired and is now held in trust by some one for: the two other roads mentioned above, no attempt has ever been made by such alleged ma jority holders to change the manage ment of the board of directors of the an swering company, nor increase nor con trol the rates of the ! company in the interest of any of the other defend antr, and that the persons constituting the majority of the directorate in may, 1899. continue to control its affairs. The answer further says that the pas senger rates from Uhlcago to Liouis vilie and intermediate points and from Chicago over the Chicago, Indianap olis and Louisville to the Ohio river and thence to points south of that river have not been! increased, and ays that no connecting linea partici- pite in making its through freight rates from Chicago to points south of the Ohio river. It is denied that the alleged majority stockholders ever have attempted to control or change or interfere with the rates, and says the company's rates have been made without any interference whatever.

President Mitchell, of the Miners' Union, Has Completed His Testimony. THE NON-UNION WORKERS. Those Who Remained at Work Doric the Strike Made a Party They De. maad an Increase of Tweaty Per Cent.' la Wafes. bv Telegraph to the Morning: star. Bobahton, PA., Nov. 19. After be ing on the atand for four and a half days, President Mitchellvof the miners' union, completed his testimony at noon to day before the anthracite coal com- uiuaiun. xuring ms oraeai ne waa examined by his own attorney and those of the Erie Company, the Dela ware & Hudson, the Delaware, Lack awanna & Western, the Lehirh Val ley, and the Philadelphia & Reading uoai ana iron uompany, ana also by the attorneys of the independent oner. ators. He waa followed on the witness stand by Rsv. Peter Roberta. s Con gregational minister, who has studied the anthracite coal industry and has written a book on the Subject. He waa still on the stand when the commis sion adjourned for the day. One of the most important thinsrs brought out by the cross-examination or President Mitchell was his em phatic declaration that the miners were opposed to aeparating the bitu minous miners from the anthracite workers, thus creating two organisa tions, lie made this reply to a ques tion of ex-Uongressman Bimon Wol verton, counsel for the Reading Com pany, aa to whether it would not be better to have separate organizations. Mr. Mitchell's answer was, that "it would not be possible nor desirable. The anthracite mine workers havejbad independent organizationa in the past. They have had several. They have gone. They are not here now and the men do not want any "more of their organizationa to go the same way." Commissioner Wright, as head of the department of labor, in his report to President Roosevelt on the coal striae, dated June 20th. auggested. among other things as "reasonable and just," to prevent industrial con flict In the anthracite fields, that the "anthracite employes should organize an anthracite coal miners' union, in ita autonomy to be Independent of the United Mine Workers of America," but might bs affiliated with it. There haa been some gossip among the small army of attorneya at the hearings that the commission may possibly suggest such a. separate union, and the fact that Mr. Wolverton touched on the matter shows that it Is being seriously thought of in some quarters. What effect Mr. Mitchell's declaration will have on the attitude of the commis sioners, if this phase of the labor ques tion ia taken up by them, is, of course, not known. . The non-union men, that is, those who remained at work during the strike, were made a party to the arbi tration plan to-day by their counsel agreeing to make public the names of the men who petitioned the commis sion. When the attorneys for the "non-striking workmen," aa Chairman Gray designated them, and who nam ber about 2,000, made a demand to the commission for a twenty per cent, in crease in wages with no reduction in hours, their attorneya desired to with hold the names of the persons they represented.. The commission, how ever, decided it could not be a party to such a plan of secrecy. In connection with the non-union feature of the investigation Mr. Mitchell announced that he also rep resented thousands of non-union men who struck with the unionists, and that all the workmen would abide bv the award of the arbitration commission "or get out of the union." Mr. Mitchell's testimony to-day con tained little that was new to the com missioners, and that of Mr. Roberts was of a general character regarding the economic and social conditions in the anthracite coal country. The commissioners, while regretting the? have to do so. are still remina ing both sides that they would like to have the submission of testimony ex pedited. Chairman Gray aeveral times during the day interrupted and showed that ground then being gone over bad already been covered. It has been suggested that counsel for both sides agree to rules for the sub mission of evidence, but nothing haa vet been done looking toward that end. At the opening of to-day's session Mr. Mitchell was cross-examined brieflv bv W. W. Ross for the Dela ware. Lackawanna and Western, 81 mon P. Wolverton. for the Philadel- nhli and Reading, and James H. Tor- rev, representing the Delaware and Hudson. The individual operators, who have not up to the present time pressed their case before the commission, through one of their attorneys, Ira H. Bums, of ScrantOD. inquired of the commission if they would be given the oDsortunitv to examine witnesses when questions arise which are differ ent with them than with the compa nies. Judge Gray answered that they would. Mr. Mitchell in reply to Mr. Burns, aid that when a man strikes he does not voluntary give up his job, but he strikes for an .improvement in the conditions of his iob. If he wins he gets back the position, if he loses he goes back with his hat in his hand and asks for a iOD. Judge Gray here interrupted to ex nlafn the understanding of the -com mission with respect to the returning to work of men who bad been on trik-A. Ha said: "I think the under tindlnc is that pending the consider atinn nf aneations bv this commission, the strikers were to return immediate ly to work and I think the lurtner un derstanding is don't let me be misun wtnnd is that the non-union men .hould not be interfered with nor dis placed from employment generally by the return or tne union men. Judre Grav then announced the de ciaion of the commission in the matter nf the annlication of John T. Lenaban and John T. O'Brien, attorneys for the nnn union men. to appear in tne case. In the light of all their claims, Judge Gray said, they would be allowed to appear, but the commission could not M.unt tn the withholding from the nnhita the names of the non-union m.n aa thip attornev had desired. Aft Mr Lenahan assented to this Judtradrav announced that the com- miaaion would tee that no unfair use would be made of the names Mr. Darrow insisted that Messrs. Lenahan and O'Brien really repre sented the operators and not the non union men. "Whether they be here in that way or not." Judge Gray quickly replied, "they represent an important element in the investigation, men who work . ... 1 f J I . ll..A ior tneir living anu woo uo interval ed in the findings of this commission We have considered that very care ful ! from all aides." RMrjondihor to a reauest from Com missloner Watkins for a suggestion aa towbat should hA of child labor, Mr. Mitchell said that law, should be enacted' providing that oftera vertein time children un der 14 can of a should not be em ployed ia V. w breaker ?. The onlv nowth-rttb operators could itMnni the evi WOU?d be to rAfnsa in children until they are 14 years old.

The spe cial committee appointed to consider the chargea made by President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Association of Steel, Iron and Tin Workers, against President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, will report to morrow. It will terminate in the ex oneration of President Oomoen. Mr 8haffer haa not only failed to substan tias . his charges, but the members of the committee are authority for the statement that he has never made any, to that body at least. He lias appear ed before the committee, and when he came away declared he had presented his chargea. The committee saya he did not formulate them. In the ab sence of direct accusation there can be but one end to the investigation. xno convention to-day wrestled with the subject of the autonomy of trades councils, and the matter was not ex hausted when the adjournment was taken at 6 o'clock. The chief fight of the day came in the old struggle be tween the United Brotherhood of Car penters and Joiners and the Amalga mated Association of Carpen ters. The former organization asked for the re vocation or the charter of the latter because of alleged practices contrary to the Interest of the trade union move ment, its avowed object being to force tne organization into its own' ranks. After several hours of debate, the mat ter was referred to a commission of eleven, five from each organization. and an umpire to be mutually select ed. The commission is to meet on or before March 1st, 1903, and endeavor to bring about an amalgamation of the two organizations, i The faction in the convention which is opposed to the re-election of Presi dent Gompers has as. yet been unable to fix upon a rival candidate. Vice President James Duncan haa refused to commit himself in either direction and President James M. Lyncb, of the Typographical Union is now spoken of as a candidate. a. resolution condemning the re ported utterances of President Elliot. or Harvard uoiiege, in favor of "scab" working men. was reported noon fav orably by the committee on resolu tions and its action waa endorsed by the convention. i The first paragraph of the resolution, as originally introduced, commenced, "Whereas, the head of the foremost American university, President Charles W. Eliot of Har vard," etc. Secretary Agard.of the res olutions committee, called attention of the convention to the word "ore most," saying that the committee had changed the word to "prominent" as the members of the resolution commit tee did not believe that an institution which would retain at ita head a man capable of such expressions aa those credited to President Eliot, could by any possibility be the "foremost" uni versity of the country.. Delegate LiighthalL of Chicago, de clared that President Harper of Chicago University and John D. Rockefeller, the founder of the insti tution, were botn opposed to the union movement and that they were trying to secure control of the public schools in that city and the laboring men were endeavoring to counteract the movement by organizing the teachera into unions. The McOomas bill now pending be fore the United States Senate, provid ing for increased pay for all overtime on government works, was endorsed by the committee and a resolution was adopted by the convention. James M. Lynch, president or the International Typographical Union, at midnight gave out the following ststement in relation to his candidacy for president of the American Federa tion of Labor: "I have declined to accept anything that will aeparate me from the Typographical Union, which baa recently honored me by re-eiecuon for another term of two years as its president" THE WILCOX TRIAL Will Be Held Either In Cbowan or Per- quimans County, By Telecraph to the Momma Star.

Luke E. Wright From Philippines. THE WELCOMETO ROOSEVELT City Crowded With Visitors President Spoke at two Receptlonr. One by . White Citizens and the Other ! by Nerroes Bssqset. ; av BHMMaBM - ' l . By Telegraph to the Morning Btar. Memphis, Tern., Nov. 19 Although the festivities to-day celebrated the home-coming of General Luke E. Wright, Vice Governor of the Philip pines, it is no reflection upon the warmth of the welcome extended to him that President" Roosevelt's pres ence was the over-shadowing feature of the day. Excursion trains were ' run into the city and a number of distin guished people were present to partici pate in the celebration.: Among them were Governor Benton McMillin and General Joseph Wheeler. The pro gramme was a long one. Immediately after the President's arrival there was a parade through the streets to the GayoBO Hotel, where a breakfast wss tendered the President and General Wright jointly, by the ladies of Mem phis. Ia the afternoon the ' President spoke at two receptions given in honor of General Wright, one at the audito rium, by white citizen?, the other at a hall in the black section of the city by the colored people. Later there was a Colonial Dames' tea at the Gayosaand the festivities closed to-night with an elaborate banquet at which Presi dent Roosevelt delivered a speech. Including some brief remarks at the breakfaat, the President spoke four times during the day. Altogether it was a splendid tribute to the affection and -esteem in which General Wright is held at home. That Mrs. Wright is also exceedingly popular was made ap parent by the applause which greeted every reference to her. This waa es pecially marked at the auditorium, when the President referred to the fact that his mother's brother served In the Confederate navy under her father. who was Admiral Semmes. Mayor Williams and Governor Mc Millin made a dresses of welcome and the audience was very euthusiastic when General Wright delivered his response. He was greatly touched by the compliment paid him by the Presi dent's presence and with the demon stration in his honor. General Wright did not go deeply into the situation in the Philippines in his remarks, but he emphasized the fact that the administration of the islands, under both Presidents McKin- ley and Roosevelt had been of an ab solute non-partisan character. Presi dent Roosevelt had not intended to speak at this reception, but the assem blage would not be denied and he spoke briefly. The reception Rendered by the col ored people wa's truly remarkable. General Wright earned their undying gratitude during the two yellow fever epidemics twenty years ago, by re maining here when most of the whites had fled and seeing that the sick were cared for. The ball was pscked, gal leries and pit, to the point of suffoca tion and the whole spirit of the pro ceedings breathed admiration for tbeir friend. 1 General Wright, in addressing the colored audience, talked chiefly of their future, telling them of the dif ferent problems before them. He said that it would perhaps have been bet ter for both races bad the change from slavery to citizenship not come so sud denly. The following is the President's speech to the negroes : "(Jeneral Wright baa succeeded in the Philippines by displaying just those qualities which each one of us must in a lesser degree display, u we are to be good citizens here at home. There is nothing peculiar In govern ment. Good government consists in supplying the old humdrum, every day, common-place virtues which all of us learn, but which all of us do not practice if a man is fearless, is hon est, haa consideration for others and is gifted with the crowning grace of common sense, he Is going to do fair ly well. "We all of us, tend to business or fall together. If any set of us goes down the whole nation sags a little. If any of us raise ourselves a little then by just so much the nation as a whole is raised. Hi very man who does markedly good work on the one sphere of government, ' by just so much helps all of us and elevates all of us. It is a great thing when we can point to any American who has ten dered signal service in any position. it mates ail or us a imie oetter Amer icans, and makes us feel spurred on to do a little better work as citizens, each in his own sphere of activity." At the conclusion of the President's remarks, the entire, audience of more than 3,000 united in singing "ttod Be With You Until We Meet Again." At mid-nizht the presidential party left for Washington over the south em railroad. Col. L. o. Brown, gen eral manager of the Southern, was in charge of tbe train. No atops will be made on the way. The train will reach Washington at 6 o'clock Jmday morn ing, j JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. Site Chosea Oa Hampton Roads Opposite . Portress Monroe.
