Mrs. Fosters Address Before the Sub.C0m-
mittee on the TnriiH.
WARRINGTON, d. G., Sept. ls.-The
proceedings OF the Senate subcommittee
on the tariff this morning were in re-
frcshing contrast with the average of the
last two months.
About fifteen well-dressed, hne-look-
ing ladies made their appearance at the
doors of the committee room ut II o'clock,
headed by Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster, Presi-
dent OF the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union OF Iowa, and were intro.
duced by Senator Allison to his fellow
members rs n delegation who wished to
be heard in respect to w0man's especial
interest in the protective tariff.
Mrs. Poster addressed the committee
eloquently and ut considerable length.
She described her experience in Europe
year ago, where she went in connec-
ton with the philanthropic work in
which she has spent her life, setting
forth the steps which led her 10 the be.
lief that the 'inComparHbly superior nd
vantages enjoyed by the American
woman us wife, mother or selt-supporter
to her European sister were due to the
American Protective system.
She conirasted the manufacturing and
farming localities OF Germany, England,
Scotland and Ireland, with their women
harnelsed sometimes like beasts OF bur-
den in the fields, leaving their little ones
without a mothers care, earning the
barest pittance necessary to support life,
with the conditions Of life here, declar'
ing that on her arrival in Massachusetts,,
on her return, she could hardly escape
the conviction that the occasion was a
gala day. She did not profess to be
4 specialist in regard 10 the tariff, but
had read the debates in Congress and
noticed that whenever the wage worker
was referred TO, it was the workingman
who excited the sympathies OF the legis.
lator Would not society, she asked
herself, appear for the working women

She warned the committee that twas
in all history, the condition OF woman
kind which had contributed most to the
upbuilding or pulling down OF nations
and told them that wherever the Condi

A Singular Case.

PARKERsBuRe, W. Va, Sept. 49,
Samuel ]. Lang, who was arrested on
last Friday for attempting to leave the
State without satisfying his creditors,
and who was taken before a justice and
committed to jail, was brought out on
Saturday on writ OF habess
corpus and taken before tho sU-
preme Court Of the State for q
hearing. Tho Court decided that
under The wording OF the statute the
debtor was wrongly confined in jail, but
ought to be in the custody of the officer
making the arrest. Ittherefore ordered
that he be discharged from jail aud
placed in the custody al the constable.
This anomaly Of the statute Compels the
oticer to keep the debtor safely until
the day OF trial, without providing any
mode for his safe keeping.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 1S.-The

passed unanimously in the House and
by bare majority OF one in the Senate.
II Mr.. Cleveland vetoes the measure, he
will certainly lose the Pacific Coast and

ing a friendly Nation with contempt,

This with any other country than
China would, Us Mr.. Sherman says,
be equal to a deGldfatio1 OF war, hut
with that faraway and peaceful people
the abrogation OF all existing ngagreements
will simply be piece of wanton liberty
taken for political purposes, in the con-
iident assurance that the insult will not
be resented. II Mr., Cleveland etteMnts
to dodge the responsibility by allowing
the bill to become II law at the end OF
ten days without his signature, he can
not escape the charge Of Cowardice, nor
can he throw the blame upon the Re-

A Condensation of the Majority and Eli

A CONDENSATION of the Majority and I'll"
nority Reports CT the Commission.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3L-There are two re-
ports of tho Pacific Railway Commission now
in the hands OF the President one signed
by Commissioners Anderson and LitCler
and the other by Commissioner Pat
tison. The majority report is $50 pages
long, and is largely a history OF the Union
Pacific railroad and the perversiOn OF their
trusts by Gould, Sage and other directors
of the Union Pacific, and Huntington,
Croker and Hopkins, of the Central Pacific
The principal recommendations are rs fol-
lows:
That the time for paying the Government
debt be extended to fifty years, and that the
roads shall execute formal mortgage to the
Government, that the debt re funded at three
per cent. payable annually TO the United States
Treasury but that any part OF the DEBT may
be taken up in advance: that the President be
empowered to appoint one trustee and the
roads another, who shall control the invest
ment of the sinking fund; that sinking fund
at one-half of one per cent. shah be provided:
and that the Law Department OF the United
States be vested with power to bring any suit,
criminal or civil, in behalf of the roads.
Commissioner Pattison's report jumps
with both feet upon the former officers OF
the Union Pacific and the present man
agement of the Central Pacific, and
charges malfeasance in office, diver
sion of money belonging to the
stockholders of the road, and deliber-
ate and fraudulent impairment of the Gov
ernments lines. He plainly says it is not
now question OF the payment of a debt to
the Government, but Of the punishment OF
a criminal He recommends that the Gov
eminent forfeit the charters Of both roads
and appoint a receiver until the roads can

exhibited modern machines sewing at
the rate of 1000 stitches a minute.
The lowest priced one is Sl.S7, and the
