CHAPTER XVII.

THE LAST CAMPAIGN AND. EMBARKAT!ON.,
The tragic hostility drawn out by Don
Walters expedition had precipitated the
revolution. The hour had struck at Rio
Frio, the pronunciamiento had been is
sued and the populace had ranged them
s,lves for the struggle. 1t was an ex-
traordinary proof of friendship for Wal
ter on Perez's part to have absented
himself from affairs of the greatest mo-
ment at such time, but he was found
with his hands trebly full to compensate
for it.
"I had hoped to accompany you part
of the way" he said, ''but that will now
be impossible. There is not, however,
the least need of it. You have devel-
oped the true military instinct. 1t is you
who OUGHT to lead and to follow.

Special Dispatches TO THE Mons1sa CALL

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The Evening Star
says: Congress has reached the beginning
of the end. 1t is foreg0ne conclusion that
the Finance Committees amendment as
substitute for the Blaine reciprocity PROPOSE
tion will be adopted by the Senate. The
majority of the Ways and Means Commit
tee, recognizing this, have been considering
the matter and have so far advanced toward
an understanding that it is probable they
will not be long in reaching an agreement
when the matter gets into conference. The
popular favor with which Mr.. Biaine's
reciprocity suggestion was received has
compelled the leaders in both Houses to
yield, but in SO doing they are discrediling
the plan as much as possible.
They are pursing their lips and saying:
Oh, reciprocity is a good thing if it were
only practicable. Well try little OF it
where it will do no HARM" Mr.. Sherman's
criticism Of the Hale amendment yesterday
was whack at Mr.. Blaine over the should
ers of Mr.. Hale, and this morning Mr..
Edmunds got in his blow at the Plumed
Knight by the suggestion that it was very
pretty theory, but as impracticable and de-
lusve thing as ever occurred to brilliant
man or sober statesman.
The amendment will go through thus dis
credited, and in the House the men who
had to abandon the idea of reading Blaine
from the party will ease their feelings by
slurrng at his plan, and then adopting
little Of it. Having decided on this course,
they are counting on an adjournment be-
tween the 21st and 18th of this month.
1t is believed now that there will not be
much discussion on the Tariff Bill in the
House after it comes from the Senate.
Urged by their desire TO get home, the Sem
ators are now not about to indulge their
feeling of resentment on account of the
failure OF the Elections Bill and the injec-
tion of the reciprocity question into their
Tariff Bill, but will swallow their indigna-
ton with few gulps and get away as soon
as possible.
The Tariff Bill will probably be sent to
the conference very soon after it reaches
the House, and there the members. al
ready having had the questions that will
then arise under their individual cOnsidera-
ton, the matter is promised to be speedily
disposed of, and Congress will probably be
in shape to adjourn by the 1st of October.
New YORK, Sept. 3.-Congressman Nc
Kinley, in an interview here yesterday, said
he thinks Congress will adjourn about Octo-
Der 1st. He is confident tariff bill will be
passed.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Before the State
Board of Arbitration to-day General Mana
ger Toucey of the New York Central tes IT,
fed that Master Workman Lee before the
strike alluded to watering the company's
stock, and intimated that some one was max
ing good deal of money. and he and oi':e--
men ought to have some of it. Master Me-
chanic Buchanan testified that he discharged
Lee by the orders of Vice-President Webb.
He had no personal knowledge of the cause.
OF the seventy-eight men discharged, he
knew the causes in the case of two only
Malloy and Conway. Malloy was discharged
for obtaining pass under false pretenses,
Conway for neglect of duty.
Train-master j. w. Stevens testified that

John Seery. employed under Stevens,
testified that Stevens asked him if it were
true that he had joined the Knights of La
Dor. Seery told him it was. Stevens told
him he had better get out OF the Knights or
it might cost him his bread and butter.

THE CONDUCTORS LOT.
1t Looks Like an Easy Job, But Fl
Watches Lots of Things.

It Looks Like Easy Job, But He
Watches Lots of Things.
The average conductor in a railway car
takes your ticket and punches it two or
three times anywhere in the general endeavor
to make queer little holes in it. No. so the
conductor of Pennsylvania companv's
train. Every long-distance ticket issued by
the Pennsylvania road has numbers stamped
on it, indicating where it should be punched
Each conductor, as the traveller is handed on
from one TO the other, punches in new
place with different kind of punch. Each
of these punches is registered with the con-
ductOr'S name, so that, when the ticket is
finally taken up and turned in fall of queer
holes, the railroad man at the end of the
road can tell exactly through whose hands
the traveller has passed.
If the conductor punches in the wrong
place, or fails to punch, this is registered
against him. The knowledge of this con-
slant check tends to make him careful to get
all the tickets and to punch them properly.
Altogether the conductor is a pretty busy
man. After his trip is over he has two
hours of solid work sorting out tickets, bal
ancing those over his division and making
up his cash accounts.
On the suburban roads these conductors
accounts are footed up every day for every
train, so that the company knows every day
Just how much each train has earned the day
before OF course, all this means hard work
for the conductor.-N. Y. World.

THE LOST SURPLUS.
Address Of Speaker Reed Be-

Policy Of Democrats in the House Of

The Expenditures Of the Government About
to Approach Receipts and Taxation
TO Be Reduced.
Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL

BosToN, Sept. 3.-Speaker Reed addressed
a large audience tonight at Faneuil Hall.
In the course Of his speech he said in palt:
1t Is amazing to notice the history Of the House
OF Representatives and Congress 10 see how IN
detail Is carried out this princlple-that when
things are to be done the Republican party does
them. The great struggle which has been made
by tile Democrats in the House OF Representa-
tives for years has been not to be economical In
the expenditures Of Government money,
but TO cut down the sum total
oil appropriations. They have been striving in
every way TO pile Gpa surplus, not merely by
taxation. but by parsimOny IN their action IN tile
expenditure OF money. So long as they could
point 10 the clogging OF business, which results
from tile storing Of money In the treasury, they
seemed happy, but now they are busy engaged
III showing that the surplus has disappeared.
They are unable 10 be contented either with
surplus or without one. There Is not doubt
but what the expenditures OF the Govern
ment are about TO approach the receipts,
but any man would make a mistake II lie
believed 1t was In any way the result OF extra
vagaDce or carelessness with public money.
There has been an advertisement broadcast of
this surplus and every human need and want has
been set together TO Try 10 get money out of The
treasury Tor other than public purposes, but not
one oil these schemes has been successful. All
the expenditures have been legitimate. just and
proper, We shall expend nearly our income:
We shall also reduce taxation 10 The extent OF
1000, 600 in addition thereto
One great element OF expenditure Is the PEN
Sion legislation, which Is not understood In New
England, and the character OF IL is not fully ap-
precia;ed With us The soldier is comparatively
content with what he has received and with
what is promised him In the near future. Bur
In tile West there exists a different feeling.
These stories about the tyast surplus have
set men wild with The idea of n service PEN
sion. which would bring emOlument to ey
10 meet not merely The contentious of those
who are parsmonous and not willing 10 do
what was fair 10 the soldier, but those who
wished 10 do such things as, with the present
revenues OF the Government, are impossible
without bankruptcy and ruin. The Republican
party grapples Will tie question and solves IL
with that measure OF justice which is satislac-
tory to The whole people of The country. So

Chicago Carpenters.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-All but 700 Of the
S triking carpenters who refused to go TO
work Tuesday morning are now at work.
There is confusion and chaos among the
members of the Carpenters Council over the
action of the Strike Committee in authoriz-
ing the return to work of carpenters who
were receiving 371a cents an hour. This
action is criticized by the strikers, who say
the committee exceed its authority. Presi-
dent James O'Connell of the Carpenters
Council has resigned because Of the diScon-
tent of the members of that organization.
The employers assert they have all the men
they want.
The trouble in the union arose from the
discomfort of radicals with the action of the
council in allowing men to go to work for
such bosses as accepted unicn conditions.
The radicals insisted on an allaround strike,
while the conservatives. who were in a ma
lority, insisted their plan was best and that
it could be followed by general strike
next spring. if necessary, to bring the re-
naming bosses into line. President O'Con-
nell, of the council, was also President of
Union No. l, and when attacked by the
radicals last night resigned that position and
to-day resigned the presidency of the coun-
Gil. Notwithstanding the fact that Union
No. sent new and radical delegates into the
council, the conservative policy was again
indOrsed this afternoon.
