The Investigations of the Senate Com.
niittee In New York Yesterday.


New YoRK, August 20:-The Senate Sub
Committee OF Education and Labor re.
sumed their sessions this morning. The
first witness was Mrs. Charlotte Smith, Of
Washington, President Of the Woman's
National Industrial League. This organi.
zation, the witness stated, was formed in
Washington year ago in consequence oi
the refusal Of Secretary Teller to employ
women in the Department under his con-
troll. The membership now includes
women in every branch OF industry
nong the female telegraph operators many
were in condition Of want and pecnniary
distress which forced them TO surrender In
the elate strike. Mrs. Smith promised to
furnish the committee with statements in
regard to the women workers OF the country.
A. II. Seymour, a telegraph operator Of
thirty years experience, who testified last
week was recalled. He favored the estab-
|lishment OF Government telegraph sys.
TEN, under control OF the civil service re-
form rule, or else the adoption Of law
similar to the one adopted In Pennsylvania
in 1873, prohibiting the lease or consolida-
ton by one telegraph company Of any COM
peting line. The witness cited figures to
show the progress made in telegraphic
business in England since it came under
the control OF the government. lie also
claimed that all additional facilities OBJ
tanned from new inventions there benefited
the public while in this country they only
benefited the corporations. He then gave
u list OF a number Of telegraph companies
absorbed by the Western Union Company
and claimed to show by figures that the
capital stock Of that company was greatly
inflated. 5s.
W. II. Foster, Of Cincinnati, a member
Of typographical union, testified in regard
to the condition Of the laboring class in bis
city. One great advantage he thought in
legalizing Trade Unions was that SYSTEM
ofarbilration would thus be made com
pulsory and the number Of strikes dimin-
ished. He did not know to what extent
the socialistic element prevailed through
out the west, although many trade union
men held those views.

A BIG Hay Crop-Corn In Doubt-Smal
Yield OF Wheat.


West LlHERrY, W. Va, August 20.-
There is little change to note in our town,
The farmers have got through harvesting
as fine a hay crop as this section ever pro-
duced. Including the old hay with the
present large crop there eseems to be enough
to last two years. The oats are exception,
ally fine, with plump, well filed heads.
Wheat will weigh ont well. tits unneces-
sary to add that the 'oldest inhabitant'
has never seen such a potato crop.
The corn crop neems to puzzle the aver.
age farmer most. There seems TO be a,dii-
ference OF opinion as to Its outcome. The
nights have been too cool for rapid devel.
opment. The crop Is late and the fros!
may damage the corn.
The late shrinkage in the prices OF meat
products Is q matter Of complaint by the
farmers who have stock on hand.

inevitable; that boom cannot be main.

sooner he sells his fat hogs and cattle the
more plethoric will be his purse.
There seems to be no immediate
danger that prices will fall below
the limit Of profitable production.
The ,armers who have threshed unite in
saying that the wheat crop Ia very. short.
The largest crop hear OF is that Of Robert
B. Wayt, on the Cherry Hill farm, OF 500
bushels. Ninian Beall says this is the first
wheat crop he has missed. He purchased

Columns, O., August 20.-The recent
interview with Hon. George Hoadly, in
which he denies that be told Mr.. ]. II.
Woodard that Mclean had made the
nomination cost TOO much, does not fully
satisfy the demand Of the general public.
That Mr.. Hoadly allowed the statement Of
Woodard to stand four weeks before de-
nouncing 1t as false. Is looked upon as at
least singular. Mr.. Hoadly's denial does
not meet the expectations OF his friends,
althoHghs strong effort has been made by
the Democratic organs 10 convince the
public that the statement Of Judge Hoadly
Is full and complete.
A gentleman in this city has received
from Woodland q letter in which he says:
~ can only reiterate the statement con-
tanned in my letter to Governor toster
from Springfield, Ill as to what Judge
Hoadly said to me. No one else was pres.

monies. All the members Of the Imperial
family, the Duke OF Edinburgh, Duke Of

that he had already built between Duluth,

conclusion was that the road was being
built ahead Of its time-too far in advance

had magnificent land grant from Con.
