TANNER WILL HAVE TO GO.

AssiHe Won't Resign His Removal
VIII be the Only Alternative Left.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-When the Presi-
dent gets hack he is expected to take up
Corporal Tanner the first thing. Corporal
Tanner says he viii not resign, there being
no reason who he should, and that if they
want his place they must remove him
Secretary Noble will probably have the
report of the investigating committee by
the time the President returns
Whether favorable or unfavorable. it will
hardly decide the case. The trouble with
Corporal Tanner, from the administration
point of view is restlessness of
his tongue. Corporal Tanner
has not needed the warning commands to
keep it quiet He does not deny the state
ments attributed to him, but complains that
they were either made in confidence, or as
at Milwaukee in secret. He rOundly scores
the republican congress and the G. A. R.
for having violated his confidence. The
general opinion is that he will have to go.

King against Mrs. Mary E. Pillow,

Fl. Clay King, commenced suit
in the circuit court against each paper for
So, 900. D. H. Poston, counsel for Mrs.
Pillow, was made co-defendant in the suit
against the Appeal. No bill of allegations
was filed, but it Is understood that the
grounds for the suits are that the publioa-
tion Of the depositions before the trial of
case is calctnated to prejudice the complain
ants case, and that the approving head
lines in both papers have q tendency TO
bring the complainant, honored gentleman,
into disropute. The ground of the case
against Mr.. Poston is alleged to be due to
the fact that he furnished the ap-
peal with information of the con-

were filed and causing publications damag.

The excitement among the negroes was aug

that party of about 100 negroes well armed

MONOPOLY DOWN ON VEST.
Chicago's Beef Kings Ignore the Sen
ate Committee.

'So ~ OA4AAbA1AOOs
CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 4.-The senatorial
investigation into the dressed beef and
transportation trusts arrived at a position
this morning when it became necessary to
resort to vigorous measures, or acknowl-
edge the whole affair to be a stupendous
farce. Secretary George T. William Of
the Union Stock Yards and Transit Com
pany was the only witness who appeared.
He was ordered the other day to again ap-
pear before the commission with certain
statistics and list of the stockholders in
his company. He said he had taken legal
advice of counsel, audldeclined TO produce
the list.
TO BE REPORTED TO THE SENATE.
The c'mmittee adjourned after passing
the following resolutions:
WHEREAS Philip Armour Nelson Morris,
Louis II. Swift, Frank H. Vogel j. s Newman
and Jacob Meyer having been duly and law.
Iuliy summoned TO appear as witnesses before
tnlS committee, have repeatedly refused to obey
same, 1t is ordered that the facts be reported to
bhe chairman OF the Senate OF the United States
at It next session in pursuance to chapter Z,
revised statutes OF the United States.
ARMoUR's EXPLANATION.
After this action had been taken a re-
porter for the Associated Press called upon
Mr.. Armour and asked for an inter
view. Mr. Armour thereupon made the
following statement: "The reason we did
not appear before the senatorial committee
was that he knew we could not expect fair
treatment from the hands of Mr. Vest, who
is notoriously on record as an opponent of
the dressed beef business He is a cham
pion and advocate of the st. Louis cattle
markets and opposed to Chicago interests.
FRIENDLY TO ALL HOSTILE BILLS.
''He has been friendly to all the hostile
beef inspection bills that have been intro
duced in the various state legislatures
against the Chicago dressed beef, which, If
passed, would have DESTROYED this business.
We are perfectly willing to appear before
an impartial committee and give any
information pertaining to our bust
ness which is not of a strictly
private nature. We have never exerted
any influence to depress the price of cattle
or increase the price of dressed beef On
the other hand it is a well-known fact that
the cattle are 81 per 100 higher than they
would be if it was not for the dressed beef
industry, and we can get great deal more
out of a bullock than the butcher or man
who kills in small quantities"
The committee Of senator's adjourned to
meet Friday at Des Moines.

MISERY AMONG MINERS.
An Appeal in Behalf of the Locked
Out Men of Illinois.

An Appeal in Behalf of the Locked
Out Men of Illinois.
CHICAGO, Sept. Am appeal to the
public through the press is made by Henry
d. Lloyd, formerly on the editorial staff of
one of the Chicago morning papers. Mr.
Lloyd has made a personal investigation on
bis own account of the condition of the
Illinois miners. He says: "There is greater
men, women and children of Spring
Valley, in this state. There are
thousands of sufferers there from
want of food, clothing, medicine and sym
pathy. Most of these sufferers are children,
and most of the children are little ones.
have just returned from Spring Valley.
There, in this great and prosperous state,
and in the midst of harvest laden farms
aud a 5aio.u rich cities, yl visitors will see
stead of the light of health
there shines in the eyes of women and men
the phosphorescence of decaying strength,
and children fatally weakened by want are
dying of diphtheria. There are families
where adults and children, grievously sick,
are without medical attendance and medi-
cines, because there is no money to pay for
them.
NOT STRIKERS.
''The men at Spring Valley are not
strikers. They did not lose their work by
the striking. 1t was taken away from them
They are the victims of two lockouts. Last
Christmas about | 900 OF them were shut
out of work by order closing part of the
mine. Their comrades, knowing that the
men and their families thus turned into I'M
expected idleness n the dead of winter would
starve divided their own work with them
For the rest of the winter every miner laid

work to all. This lasted into April. Then
the community exhausted by this strain Of
supporting three men and their families on
the earnings of two men received its final
blow.
LAID OFF WITHOUT NOTICE.
"April 20, without previous notice of any
kind, the miners were told to take away
their tools and leave the mines, which were
closed. In one afternoon their livelihood
was taken from them. They had no thought
or plan of striking. They were not even
given chance of working for lower
wages. From the day they received
this notice to quit until w. L. Scott
of Erie made his recent offer to them of a
reduction OF wages from 80 cents ton to
an equivalent of about 55 cents or less,
coupled with the demand that they give up
their labor unions, these men have been
waiting iG involuntary idleness to learn
what was to be their fate
BEGGARLY EARNINGS.
Before the lockout they earned on an
average, according to their own figures
about $50 a month, according to the figures
given me by an official of the company, they
earned about S43 a month. If these wera
their earnings at 80 cents a tor.
what would they be at 55 cents q
ton! The settlement of the strikes
elsewhere in the coal regions has caused the
public to slacken in their contributions of
relief in the mistaken belief that the Spring
Valley difficulty was inclnded in the agree.

out of work and the situation at Spring
Valley is worse than it has been elsewhere y

CHICAGO. ILL, Sept. 4.-The work of

interest developed thus far was a ruling by
Judge Mcconnell, excusing Talesman w.

he was a member of the American League

object is to prevent members Of the Roman
Catholic church from holding or controll-
ing political offices in this country. The

resistance as thirteen inches of vertical
armor. and consisted of four inches of steel
at an angle of fourteen inches to the line of
fire and supported by vertical steel base of
eighteen inches. A ten-inch breech-loading
gun was used. The powder charges were
supposed to give a velocity of 1,475
feet to 500-pound projectile. Shot No.
tore hole in the armor, though the larger
part of 1t was detected; the second made a
similar hole, and shot No. tore off one of
