or Leave Them OFF IL
They Chose.

CHICAGO. Aug. 24.-General Manager
St. John. of the Rock Island railroad,
sppeared before the strike Investigate
no commission to-day with history
IF the strike as it affected his road.
When he had finished he was asked II
ais company blacl<listed men and re-
olied: Not in the sense that Word Is
generally understood. When man Is
discharged from one OF our DIVISIONS
We send a statement to our other OIL
,isions that he may not be re-em
,loyed. but no such statement is sent
@ other roads unless it is requested.
Asked to show a copy of the contrac'
With the Pullman company, MIR. StJohn
aid: Il can show you the contract II
you will regard it as private matter
do not want it printed in the press
This proposition was refused ano
Mr.. st. John was asked if the contrac'
compelled his company to haul Full
mans on all passengers trains. NO
vas the answer. I'VE can haul Pun
mans on any trains we choose and neeo
lot haul them unless we wish
Then you were not compelled 10 hdul
PullmanS during IHe AlIlhC'
NO. we were not.
Asked as to the number of strikers
who had been taken back by his com
nanv. Mr.. st. John answered: Most
of our men quit through fear, but OF
522 actual strikers only "A have been

The roads relations to labor unions
Mr.. st. John went on, were regulated
bv the number of men on their lines
belonging to the unions. "Nhen
union has so per cent. or more OF ou1
men" he said, I'VE as general thlne
treat with its representatives. we nave
no dealings with the American Rall
way union, as it has less than ooo o
our employees"
Mr.. st. John declared that last sprlnE
and this summer the road cut its fore
but not wages. The road has frequent
lv advanced individual wages within
the last ten years. but has made n
general advance. He thought that tn

900. and 81, 600. 600.
Mr.. St. John emphaticallv denied tn

sworn in we had nothing more 10 Q
with them. They were commando

LOOKOUT FOR BIRDIE.

HARD-BuLED birds are those which :
live on seeds.
SoY7-BnLED birds do not live on
seeds, but on insects and prepared
food.
FxED very little sweet stutfs, 1t spolis
the DIGESTION. and then the birds health
Is gone.
HARD-BnLED birds need little Tor
food besides seed and occasionally a ols
of lettuce, apple or celery.
MoULr1Ne cannot be callsd disease
since it is a natural process of provld-
ING the bird with new plumage.
bird should be given its bath, It's
food and clean cage at the same hour
each day, and by the same person.
AFTER bird takes his water bath
he should have sun bath If there is
spot in the house where the sun
shines.
CUTIE bone is an important article
of diet for hard billed birds. There Is
salty taste to it which seems to be
tonic for feathered bipeds.
THE health of all birds depends upon
three things, regularity in being ted
and given it's bath, good food and ab-
solute protection from draughts.

Chairman Cummings Makes a Strong Re-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Representa-

committee on naval affairs, presented
to the house to-day the preliminary re-
port upon the investigation OF the
armor plate billets furnished-eo the

The investigation has been IN progress

monv has been given by the prlnclpal
officials Of the Carnegie company, by
the workmen and by government of1-
cials.
The report is remarkably complete

have been sustained; scores the com
nany severely and recommends that

finds that the government inspection
was negligent, but no charge OF olS

THE INCOME TAX.
The Commissioners of Internal Revenue In
clined to the Belief That the COLLECTIONS
Will BE Small for 1894.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The amount
that will be collected from tax on IN
comes for the calendar year, under the
act now in the hands of the president,
has been variously estimated from ST.
0OO. 900 to $50. 900, 900. Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue Miller is inclined to
the belief that the returns for the year
from this tax will surprise those who
have fixed upon the higher estimates
Under the law returns of income Tor
taxation are to be made for the
calendar year 1894. The current year,
so far as it has gone, has brought
little profit to corporations, firms and
individuals. and positive loss to many
of them. There will be no appreclable
Improvement during the remaining
five months of the year, so that, Coh-
missioner Miller believes, the gains
and profits being abnOrmally small,
the amount of tax to be collected from
| that source will be disappointing to
those who have been figuring upon
a large aggregate. The experience
Of former years in the collec-
ton of income tax is of comparatively
little value in estimating what VIII
be collected on the income for
1894. for the reason that 1894 stands al
most unexampled as a year of CONNER
.ial and industrial depression and DIS
aster. This is not only true as applied
to the gains and profits Of individuals,
but large corporations, including
transportation companies, will show
largely decreased earnings Cor the cur,
cent year. while many of them will
show no earnings at all. For these
ceasons Commissioner Miller logically
concludes that the advocates of the in
come tax. and those who are looking tC
the collection of a large sum from thai
source are likely to be disappointed
when the results of the years collec
ton are exhibited.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The tarlf
for deserters has dropped many points
as the result of recent legislation. IL
has been the custom to pay $50 Tor the
apprehension of a man who had lett
the army without formal discharge
but hereafter the government Will OF
fer a reward of only SO in each IN

to ignore. so far as possible, the wlllful
deserter. He is an expense and re

is not certain that the arrest and pun
ishment of deserters is deterrent eN
ample to those who remain IN the
army. The military prison at Forf
