WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Speaking OF the
political situation Congressman Henderson
OF Iowa said to THE CALL correspondent:
"The Republican party everywhere, in Con-
gress, through the administration and in
the State platforms, presents an unwaver-
Ing front on the great issues TO which it has
been so long committed. while the lines of
the Democracy are wavering at all points
and have been abandoned at many. On the
money question who can say where the
Democracy stands on the tariff it has pre-
sented in this Congress no lineSof thought.
but has hidden behind a trifiing C owardice.
Its cry of a 81. 600, 900 Congress has come
back to torture US, the appropriations ex-
ceediDg by millions the average of the last
Congress and TO an alarming degree exceed
ing the appropriations Of the first session of
the Fifty-frst Congress, while petty cuts
have Deen made where it would fret the
Government and do harm.
This Congress has launched out without
fear or reserve into tremendous appropria-
tions where the interests of the Democratic
majority in the House were directly at
stake. With its direct appropriation of
S2l.000000 in the river and harbor bills and
the authorized contracts for s31. .0O0. 900
more, m0Ttgaging tile finances of the future,
alleled in the history of the Government,
and has well earned the title Of the pork
barrel Congress.
Procedure of the Democrats.
''In the last campaign on every stump the
cry was raised against the cloture rule of
the Fifty-irst Congress. The House Just
adjourned has surrendered to the policy of
the Gar Reid. and had to adopt clotGre
ruls TO prevent one man from tying up the
greatest appropriation bill in the session and
forcing the session 10 an indefinite eontinu-
ance
Passing from this we find the Democracy
following the leadership OF its candidate
for the Presidency. who has been discarded
by the people, while the Republicans follow
their standard held up by General Harri-

Kay received word to-day that Evans had
bought team from party on Sand Creek,
16 to 1S miles from the city.
LII was not believed that the man was dar-

DENVER, Aug s.-The population Of this
town has been Increased nearly 81, 900 to-
day and still the rush continues. ProbaL y
one-quarter OF those here are Knights
Templar. The majority of the visitors are
Americans, but the crowd is very cosmopol-
itan. The scenes about the Union depot
to-day were lively almost beyond descrip-
ton. In many OF the trains numbers of
passengers stood for 100 miles. The cars
were packed to the very doors. The depot
yards and streets of the city have been
filled with marching Knights all day. Wis
iting commanderies have been escorted to
the headquarters by the local Knights, and
these ceremonies gave the city gay ap-
pearance. The crowds are well handled
and everybody is given good accommOda-
tions.
Besides the cosmopolitan features Denver
had typical Western aspect to-day. Rep
resentatiyes of four tribes of Indians, who
are giving Wild West exhibitions, roamed
about the city, while prairie schooners oc-
casiOnally passed through the streets. The
occupants are supplied with camping out

caused sensation. Their leader carried a
winchester rifle Instead of a baton, and his
commands were given by the crack of this
hrearm. A band of COW boys has been doing
escort duty all day. The decorations in the
business districts were finished to-day, and

THEIR RETURN EXPECTED AT VISlLIi.
Wild RumOr That They Had Already Returned
Caused Intense Excitement Till
Proved Untrue.
Special TO THE MORNING CALI.

VIsALIA, Aug. S.-The men who returned
last evening so closes outhed were more
communicative to-day. The shooting az
the robbers reported yesterday was con-
frmed by the two men who did it.
Their story is that they followed the
trail of the mule and cart to Niger Creek,
25 miles east of the city, and finally it
turned back toward town.
Soon they saw the mule hitched to a tree
100 yards from the road and in deep cam
yOn. Here they waited until they heard
the voice OF one man calling to another.
Tie voice was not loud. hut could be
heard distinctly for one or two hupdred
yards. Finally man approaching the cart
struck match to light cigar or pipe.
Two shots were fred at this man with
Winchester rife, when the men in the can
yon made for the bush. These men claim
that the robbers came to place the cart on
the road, so that the boy could take lt to
Ward, the owner, as they had promised
him.
This shooting took place at o'clock on
Saturday night. As the two men were
alone they waited for help. which did not
arrive until next morning:
The shooters claim to have found blood
in the canyon and think they made flesh
wound. They say the robbers, after the
shooting, went to the horses they had
staked in the brush 200 yards away and
rode off toward Wilcox Canyon.
They further claim to have found foot
prints of the horses the next morning on
the trail. One horse had large foot, plain
shod. the other animal had heavy shoe
with one nail missing on the right foot.
This statement is not verified by the
party who arrived ou the ground on Satur-
day morning. The majority of those re-
turning acknowledge that the trail of the
robbers was lost from the fact that the pur-
sued had got among rocks where no foot
prints were left.
There are high mountains north of Mig
ger Creek, where the cart was found, once
on top of which the robbers could see two
or three roads leading to the mountains and
along which the pursuers have to travel.
In fact during the day time they could see
over the plains for six or eight miles and
dust raised on the roads by travellers would
be plainly visible.
Water is handy here. and supply for the
day could be obtained at night. 1t is not
likely the robbers could escape east across
the mountains. as all the roads are still
guarded since Friday night. There is
possibility, however, that they could take
the back track and gain the Coast Range by
travelling at night, as the robbers could ride
across the helds without nearing residences
or settlements.

PTTsBURG, Aug. 8.-The Duquesne Steel
Works started up this morning with nearly
all the old employees at work..
Tomorrow afternoon a committee repre-
senting the local iron and steel manu-
facturers and worknen will resume delib-
erations over the wage scale. The question
OF settlement is uncertain. 1t is generally
understood that the men do not favor arbi-
tration. and that it will not be considered.
The sensation OF the day at the Upper
Union Mills was the resignation of the
night superintendent and pudding boss,
richard Nichols. WHO was one of the most
trusted workmen about the mill. The ac-
QUESTION Of Nichols has greatly encouraged
the strikers.
Nearly 200 men were taken on at Home

Holman Figures Ont Showing From
His Standpoint.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-By authority of
the House. Holman will print his speech in
the Congressional Record tomorrow deal
ing with the appropriations made at the last
session of Congress from a Democratic
standpoint. He says: "The appropriations
made at this session Of Congress, includ ng
the permanent appropriations. show a re-
ductiOn OF S33. j29, ,291 under the appropria-
tions of the last session Of the last Congress
or a reduction equivalent to Sl00. 900 to each
Congressional district Id the United
States. But for purposes Of ccmpar-
ison, the amount of tho river and
harbor bill of S21, ,153.6lS should be de-
Quoted from the appropriations of this ses-
sion Tor the reason that nc river and harbor
bill passed the last session of Congress,
against appropriations Of which those made
at this session should logically be con-
trasted. Without the river aud harbor bill
the appropris tions of this session are
S54, ,6S2,909 less than the whole appropria-
tions made at the second session Of the
Fitty-frst Congress"
This is how Holman reaches his conclu-
Sions: In the second session of the Fifty
first Congress the total appropriations as
stated in the official tables were S525. .OlS,-
672 70. Add the amount estimated by The
treasury under Indefinite items in the sun
dry civil act for the pay and bounty claims,
e9S5, 600; add the amount estimated by the
treasury as required under indefinite appro-
rriations TO refund The direct tax OF 1927
coo, mixing a total Of S541, ,230,672.
For the first session tile total, as stated in
the official tables, is Si63. 39S. 80 aud the
expenditures reported by the Treasurer un-
der indefinite items n the sundry civil act
for pay and bounty claims is 81, 362, ,O59;
add expenditures reported by the treasury
under permanent appropriations made dur
ing the last Congress and not included in
the official tables. $50 695, 67S. Total, $780,

first Congress, 81, ,05j. Csc, 92l; average ap-
propristionS by the Flfs first Congress
for each Of its two sessions, S517, ,543, AGO.
The total appropriations made az this ses-
sion amount 10 S507, 701, $50. including the
river and harbor bill, being S33, 529, ,29l less
than those made at the last session Of Con-
gress, and deducting the river and harbor
bill. reduction of S54, ,6S2, 800, ana In con-
trast with the average appropriations for
the two sessions of the last Congress the re-
dnction Is $40. 142,0S0. Holman states that
S79,527, ,602 Of the appropriations made at
the session just ended were pursuant to
the laws, such as sugar bounty, pensions,
ETC., enacted by the preceding Congress.
