consideration of the general deficiency ap-
preparation bill, and reported it to the SEN

with one exception, did not largely in
crease the total of the bill as it came from
the House. This exception is a provision
for the payment of French spoliation
claims aggregating s1,239,68s. All pro-
visions for payments to widows of deceased
congressman are stricken out, as well as
extra allowances for the compensation Of
the official reporters of the House. The
former action was taken because the pay
ments in certain instances ran up to $40, ,000
nearly double the usual allowance, and il
was thought best to agree upon a fixed
uniform sum in conference

the Cause of the Trouble.
CHICAGO. Aug. 15.-All of the switchmen
employed by the Wabash Railroad Com
pany in Chicago struck this morning, and
not a wheel is turning. About 200 m IN left
their posts, completely stopping traffic. The
trouble is over the non-payment of wages.
1t has been customary to pay
them on the 18th Of each month,
but this month the paymaster left st. Louis
two days later, so that he could not reach
Chicago until Monday next. This was com
municated to the yardmaster, who in turn
notified the men this afternoon. As soon as
they heard the news the switchmen left
their posts, completely tying up the road.
The yardmaster received a telegram this
afternoon. Ii was dated Moberly, Mo-, and
said the paymamaster would be in Chicago
at o'clock Saturday night and would pay
the employees.

The spacious rooms 431 433 and 437 !,

concourse of visitors.
Everyone was there, and his wife.
Eastern people, wrapped in furs and
wearing real Southern California smile
on their faces, elbowed the sturdy
rancher who snatched half day from
the busy toll OF farm life to investigate
the mysteries of raising thoroughbred
poultry.

Thus it will be seen that making up a
score card is matter of no small i'm

five fowls in an hour.
The number of people in attendance
has been so great, and large number OF

CHRISTMAS FAIR.
The Ladies of the Plymouth Society
Achieve a Success,

The ladies of Plymouth Congregational
society, who sought to liquidate small
debt through the medium of Christmas
fair at their church ON West Twenty
first street, were happy last night in the
knowledge that their hopes had not only
been realized, but that they had already
succeeded beyond their expectation in
raising an amount considerably above
that OF the sum necessary.
The fair, which closes tonight, is
one of the most artistic Of the
kind that has been held here for some
time and though of necessity smaller
than those usually held down town, it is
as regards the workmanship and design
of the articles arrayed upon the tables of
its booths, superior to many of its more
pretentious fellows. Another feature
which may astonish intending purchas-
ers of Christmas gifts is the exceedingly
low figure at which most of them are Of
fered, a fact which can only be accounted
for by the knowledge that there are no
expenses to meet, and the sum needed
has already been raised.
All the booths did rushing business
