almost automatically, once the machin-
cry 10 set in motion"
Mr.. Wilson was asked il no consid-
cred that tho principle Of tariff reform
characterized the present act, even
though the ratoS wero not oil he wanted.
"Yos," no said, "the principle 10
there. and, after all, the great struggle
has been to secure recognition Of tho
principle rather than the perfection OF
detail. The detail must como by the lr-
resistible force OF circumstancos, now
that the principle is established"
"What is there" Mr.. Wilson was
asked, "in tho assertion that resump.
ton OF tariff agitation next winter will
bring a recurrence Of business unrest p
"That is wholly unwarranted," said
he. "There need bo no general bill
reaching all industries, 80 that tho sit
uation will not be such as to affect com.
mercial affairs generally. The tariff
rates will remain stable on tho very
great majority OF articles, ana it will be
upon comparatively few that tho per-
fecting of details will be necessary in
ordor that the tariff reform placed on
the statute books shall bc a consistent
whole"
Mr.. Wilson spoke in warm approval
of President Cleveland's letter to Mr..
Catchings, saying 1t was strong in ex-
proasion and In the sentiments sct forth.

Vice President Wickes admitted that
tho Pullman company had reduced lite

was 100000. No eviction list had boon
made and there had been no orders for
eviction. Tho witness was questioned

luncheon. He denied the story that,
on his arrival here from Washington,
he had at onco consulted the general
mauaSers. On July 2, when this con.
ference was said to have taken place he
