OF the Ieunargy charged against them.
Governor Foster held conference with ex-
Governor Nichols. now the chief justice of
the supreme court, and other promi nent
lawyers and it is said to be their opinion
that under the law of the state the COVER

The men are beginning to resort to vio-
lence in outlying districts and special Off
GERS will b. appointed. 1t was ordered that
the waterwo-ks men strike as well as the
electrical hsnt men and gas men, The
waterworks men were ordered bach to
guard against fire. The others, however,
stay out.
Peace Proclamation Issued.
One center of activity yesterday in the
city was the city hall, where the mayor and
his advisors spent the day. During the
morning proclamation was issued calling
upon all persons to preserve the peace, and
warning thos present. that any disorder or
violence would be repressed by the sternest
measures. The most serious feature Of
the situation was the suspension of the two
lighting systems-gas and electricity-and
some alarm was felt when the Officers Of
the two electric light companies called on
the mayo, and said they thought they
could furnL'n light if granted protection
for men engaged to take the place OF the
strikers. This was readily promised.
Looks Much Like a H oIiday.
The city had holiday appearance nearly
everywhere. Merchants say that a num-
Der OF union men are willing to return, but
the merchants did not propose to be made
targets of by the unions until they were
ready for vigorous defense and so de-
elined to take them back for the present.
The strike also failed to affect the news
papers to the extent expected. and the only
paper which has 80 far failed to appear is
The Item, which is the official organ of the
strikers, although that is also expected to
appear this evening

crowds of strikers and the absence of
street cars viii serve to keep many of the
better element away from the polls In the
meantime the governor is using ever
means to bring about an amicable termina-
ton.
Employers Make a Concession.
At his request the merchants made a con-
cession and agreed TO waive the demand
that the strikers return to work before any
arbitration takes place They had already
agreed to arbitrate upon the question of
hours and wages, declining, however, to
argue the demand that they employ more
but union men, although they are willing
10 agree not to discriminate against union
men. The governor then referred the agree
ment to the labor unions and they said it
was too late to consider the matter Sunday
night, but promised to meet yesterday
morning and to give an answer by noon.
Up TO last night he had not received any
answer The merchants did not do am
thing yesterday but carry on their business
as well as they could, and determine to
stand firm upon their last proposition.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The special CON-
mittee appointed to investigate charges of
drunkenness of members of the House re-
sumea its session this morning and many
witnesses testified that in their opinion
drunk when he delivered his argument In
the Noyes- Rockwell election contest, the
witnesses generally testifying that in their
opinion Mr.. Cobb was suffering from ex-
haustiOn incident to the delivery of
speech while in poor health, with many
Interruptions on the part of other MEM
bers. Mr.. Bynum testified that it was not
an uncommon practice for members to take
beef tea and coffee and other stimulants
out Of . cup during long continued argu-
ments, and from a knowledge of Mr.. Cobbs
gentleman could not speak continuously
for two hours without taking some stimu-
lant
representative Kilgore, of Texas, testi-
liza that he had seen one member drunk on
the floor Of the House during the session.
and perhaps one or two mem bers W hOm he
thought were under the influence of liquor.
He could not recall having seen any mem
Der reel through the aislee. He recalled
one particular occasion when q member
addressing the House seemed under the in
fuence of whisky. Mr.. Kilgore said that
he was in the chair during the greater part
of Mr.. Cobbs argument. Itnever occurred
to him that Mr.. Cobb was under the influ-
ence of liquor. Andrew Devine, one OF the
official stenographers of the House, pro-
duced the manuscript of the official report
of Mr.. Cobbs argument, and testified that
he saw nothing in Mr.. Cobb's conduct to
justify the charges made Many other wit
ncsses testified In Mr.. Cobb's behalf, and
the committee adjourned.
1t is very likely that two reports will be
presented and that Representative Simp-
son, of Kansas, will file minority report

Mr.. Watson, of Georgia, 1t being practically
assured th at the majority will at least make
some structures on Mr.. Watson.
