Result of Attorney General MIchoner's In.
VestigWtion In Harrison County.
CoRYDoN, IND, August lG.-Attorncy
General Michcner has been in consulta-
ton since yesterday regarding the pro.
posed prosecution OF the White Caps.
He said to n reporter last night that
from all he can learn there is no organ
lied band Of White Caps here. There
arc occasional outbreaks, however, but
they are merely local, inspired by local
feeling against fellows in q community
who have made themselves obnoxious
by bad conduct. Farmers and citizens
would club together and take such Il
person out and give him Aogging as
the best and cheapest means of punish
mcnt.
The people OF Corydon arc law.abid-
ing, and regret much that the White
Caps in the adjoining counties are
bringing Harrison county into disgrace.
The principal scene OF the White Cap
outragcs is Crawford and Perry counties.
The investigation will begin in Craw-
ford county,

NEW YoEE, August lG.-The immigra'
ton investigation was resumed to-day.
There were present Congressman Ford,
Oates, Guenther and Spinola. The first
witness called was Julius Oppenhcimer,
manufacturer Of cloaks and suits. He
said he had been in the cloak and suit
business for eleven years, and usually
employed one hundred hands. in for
mer years three-fourth OF his employees
were females, and to-day the sexes are
about equally divided. The wages paid
at present were 10 or II per cent lower
than ten years ago. Witness did not
think the decrease was due to the immi-
grafton oil Poles. This line OF examina-
ton was suspended while Congressman
Ford intcrrogated the witness us to the
reason why Marion Preston, who gave
testimony before the committee, was
discharged.

A RACE FOR EUROPE.
Three Zig Steamers Pittcd Against tho City

Three Big Steamers Pittcd Against tho City
ofNew Yark.
New YORK, August lG.-There will be
great race for Europe, between four
fast ocean steamers, beginning Saturday
afternoon.
La Bourgogne, OF the French line,
sailing at o'clock, will lead the fleet OF
racers, followed by the Cunarder UNI
briu, ut 2:3O o'clock, the new Inman
Liner, City Of New York, Mt 3, for her
first trip from New York to Liverpool,
and the North German hlOyds Ems, at
1 o'clock.
The Umbria has been surpassed only
by tho Etruria, which is now the fastest
steamer on the ocean. The great speed
which it is expected the City of New
York will attain when her engines get in
good working order has raised Il spirit of
emulation among the captains OF the
other vessels, and there is no doubt but
that they will use all the steam they can
consistent with safety, so as not to let
the lnman liner pass them on the Allan
tic. 1t is true that the captain OF each
steamer scouts the idea that they are 90.
ing to race with their new competitor,
but there is more than ordinary interest
manifested in figuring which one OF the
fleet will make the best record across,
and it is evcl said that there is some
money wagcrcd on the contest.
ltis not generally known that when
the Umbria broke down of Fire Island,
last Saturday afternoon, after a quick
run across, the steamer la Bourgogne
was only short distance in her wake,
ploughing along ut great rate and try
ing to beat the Cunarder to quarantine.
Captain Fran3uel, OF the French steamer,
admits that he was pushing his steamer
for all she was worth, and although he
regretted the accident to the Umbria,
both his passengers and himself felt II
little pard0nable qualification when they
passed the Cunurder and arrived at
Quarantine far ahead OF her. The Gun
arder Etruria will sail from Liverpool
next Saturday. Herrecent record IS six
days, one hour and iifty.dvc minutes,
and ii the veteran Commodore Cook, OF
the City of New York, does not succeed
in breaking this record it will not be his

CHICAGO, August tG.-The plant Of the
North Chicago Rolling Mill Company,
at South Chicago, is to be shut down for
time. Fifteen hundred men have
been laid of. The blast furnaces were
unaffected by the order and will con-
tinue in active operation. The cause OF
the unexpected state OF affairs is due
directly TO lack OF orders on the books
Of the North Chicago Company.

The Return of Carhln.

President Corbin, of the Reading rail
road, has returned from Europe, but has
no information for the reporters. He
does not even have an opinion OF the
European financial situation generally,
having been wholly engrossed with Read
ing matters. And it is true that these
are weighty enough to engross one mans
attention.
Mr.. .Corbin reaches home just in time
TO hear the committee OF the Reading
miners, who negotiated their resumption
of mining with him In the spring, de-
clare that he has failed TO observe the
stipulations of the agreement. They make
no recommendation, merely suggesting
that 1t Is for the miners themselves tt
decide whether they will submit. The
inference is that at present 1t is deemed
advisable to do so but it will not be safe
10 conclude that they will not kick
at a more opportune moment. Peo.
pie who are dealing with organ.
lied masses of men can seldom
safely fail to keep faith with them. A
very conspicuous feature Of Mr.. C0rbin's
dealings with his employees is the readi
ness with which he breaks his engage
ments with them /; propensity which
does not promise him long continued
harmonious and prosperous relations
with them.
