CHICAGO, Sept 1}-Only five innings Of
the New York, Chicago game were played
yesterday at the ball park At the end of
the fifth inning the score stood 9 to in favor
of Chicago, and Ewing, the "Gisnt's" catch
er and captain, quit playing and put Brown
in Arson Immediately made big kick
and for a few minutes there was a wild wav-
ing OF arms among the group of players
which surrounded the umpire, Powers.
Ewing said he had hurt his arm, but Arson
wouldn't have it, and insisted that Ewing
was saving himself for to-day's game, and
that if he didn't want to catch he could call
O'Rourke in and go out in the field himself
The umpire could not quite make up his
mind that there was anything the matter
with Ewing's arm and gave him five min-
utes to play or forfeit, and Ewing preferred
to forfeit, so the game went to Chicago

John Jarrett, who spoke at Hsrper's
theatre last Saturday evening in the in
terest of the tariff robbers of Pennsyl-
vania, has evidently changed his views
since 1885 He now claims that the tariff
has everything to do with the regulation
of wages, but he didn't think so then.
He was under oath before an investigst-
ing committee at that time, and undoubt-
edly had some regard for the truth. HIS
evidence will be found on page 1119,
Vol. |, of the committees report. Mr..
Jarret says;

nected with our organiZation) are on the

srr want to call the attention of the com
mittee to the fact that as rule in such
mills as are not controlled by our organ
ization lower wages are paid than in
those that are controlled by US. Of
course there are all sorts of arguments
used By manufactures, the owners Of the
mills. They claim that the medium or
the controlling influence whereby wages
are governed in this country as compared
with other countries is the tariff, and they
say they pay all that the tariff guarantees
these mills is that the owners will not
permit their men under any circsm-
stances TO connect themselves with our
association Amalgamated Association
of Iron and Steel Workers of the United
sStates.) They are deadly opposed to it.
On page 1928, vol. |. Mr. Jarrett says
There has been much talk about this
question of tariff, and it has been said
that wages are paid here in some departs
ments lower than the wages paid in Eng
land and in other countries or at least as
low, and that, | presume. is fact.
Hence construe the rhole matter to de.

gard to national pension legislation, and
spoke in exceedingly bitter terms of the fail

There was an exciting scene during the
afternoon session of the encampment While
the pension question was under discussion--a
number of papers were handed up to the
chairman to be read. Among them was a
dispatch from President Cleveland, ac-
knowledging the receipt of an invitation to
attend the encampment, and explaining that
1t had been mslaid by his secretary and for
gotten in the press of business. For this
and his inability to be present, he expressed
his regrets. The reading OF the dispatch, &C.
cording to some of the delegates was fol-
lowed by Kisses, groans and cheers, and for
fifteen minutes the encampment was in an
uproar. Half DOZEN motions were made
from many parts OF the room to lay the
dispatch on the table and to refer it to the
committee on pensions. Several delegates
demanded vociferously the name of
the officer Or comrade who had taken it
upon himself to extend the invitation, and
Gen. Keller, in an excited manner, asked
Commander Rea if he was responsible for
the action. The commander responded
promptly in the negative, adding that he had
no authority to invite the president. Some
OF the delegates took advantage of the cir
cumstance to make general onslaught upon
the presidents pension policy and his vetoes
