All political differences and party

! A message was received from the

tomary resolution to notify the presi-
dent that the two houses were ready
| to adjourn.
The resolution was agreed to-, and

He Gives the Strike Commission
Some Information.
Chicago, Aug. 2S-George M. Pull,
man was before the. labor commission
for nearly three hours to-day. At the
outset of his testimony Mr.. Pullman
made a careful preliminary statement
Of his position toward the commission
and defining the motives which had
moved the company to establish its
plant and names for working men as
it had. He dWelt at great length on
the motives which had actuated the
company in building homes for the
working men at Pullman, declaring
that the town had been made attractive
so that the best class of mechanics
would prefer to live there :.a.1er than
in any othe. place. In answer to
queries by Chairman Wright Mr.. Pull
man told Of the contracts for work I'M
dertaken by the company at loss in
order that men nigh, be keeps 1T work.
He said:
Il found we were being underbid by
other companies even where We had
figured the work down to cost. / un-

secure the work for our men. My rec
objection is that the first order Of that
kind was for ffty-fye cars on the Long
Island railroad. Under my Instructions
the cost of material and labor was fig
lTed on the cars on the basis Of the re-
ductiOn in wages. Then had the mat
ter under consideration here and in
the New York office for about two
weeks, and finally put in bid for
something between $500 and $500 a
car below actual cost. made up
my mind that the company would CON
tribute that much rather than have the
men idle. Up to the time of the strike
we had lost more than 1000 in pur-
suit Of this policy" M
Mr.. Pullman said that the company
paid 8 per cent dividend on sac, OOO,-
900 capital stock. He said that his
salary was not reduced, neither were
the salaries Of the principal officers.

Pedrito is Set Alright.

To the LIGHT:
A statement, having appeared
on the 18th. instant in the columns
OF the "San Antonio Daily LIGHT"
under the heading of "Pedrito's
Prediction" / hereby wish to &C.
quaint the public with the true
facts connected with the case:
The child in question, having
suffered for long time from spinal
disease, without appearing to be
deriving any benefit from the con-
tinuous treatment Of two Of the
most prominent physicians in San
Antonio, |, at last, yielded, with
great reluctance, to the persuasions
of some of my friends and brought
it to Pedrito, the Mexican faith
healer. After looking at the child,
he advised me to place ga porus
plaster on its breast" in August,
but did not say that cit would be
over it's pain" in August.
The disease grew worse every
day, and by August had reached
such stage, that, to act on Pedri-
to's advice, would appear to me to
be murder. Besides, l do not be-
lieve in faith cure" and the child
was in the hands of the best physi-
clans could procure.
On the 10th instant, death re-
lieved it from the sufferings, caused
by a disease which l believe was
lncurable. Yours truly

A Notable Electric Launch.

An electric launch has just been
placed on Lake Chautauqua, which
is probably the handsomest craft
OF the kind ever constructed. 1t
was made to the order of Congress-
man Paul J. Sorgs, of Ohio, and is
fitted throughout with an eye to
the greatest comfort and luxury.
The length over all of the launch
is AZ feet, the water line is 43 feet 3
inches, beam 7 feet 6 inches, and
draught feet Il inches. The
frame is Of oak, the hull, decks and
cabin being polished mahogany ;
the deck fittings, rails, etc, are of
brass. There is a double-screw
propeller, equipped with two four
horsepower motors, and 1876 cells
of storage battery. The normal
rate Of speed is one mile in
seven minutes; maximum rate,
one mile in five minutes. The
cabin roof extends the full length
of the cockpit. The cabin proper
is IL feet long. 1t is upholstered in
silk plush corduroy, with curt aims
of pea green damask, and is sup
piled with lavatory, ice box, stove,
etc. One Of the ablest and most
successful newspaper men in the
country was asked some year ago
why he did not keep a yacht. He
replied: 81 am waiting for the
time when | can sit down COM
fortably and be carried wherever
l wish by the mere movement Of
a lever at my elbow, independent
ly of winds or tides" His answer
which was made before
the electric launches were
dreamed Of, was prophetic,
and his wish can now be realized,
The electric launch is the ideal
pleasure boat, and no more perfect
conditions of water travel can be
imagined by the majority of peo-
pie, at all events, than those af-
forded by such a craft as that de-
scribed above, which glides
through calm or rough seas with a
uniform smooth motion, and free
from the unpleasant accompani-
ments of steam or naptha launch
es-noise, smoke and smell.

The Weak Point in Uncle Sans Navy

The Weak Point in Uncle Sans Navy
Boston Transcript.
The cruiser Columbia, on her
voyage of seven days and twenty
two hours from New York to Blue
fields, used rather more than 700
tons of coal, employing three
eighths boiler power for three days
and one-fourth for the rest of the
time. Coal was economical in or
der to have a supply on hand upon
arrival at Bluefields, in anticipa-
ton of being called upon to go
somewhere else in hurry. In the
absence of precise data as to the
amount in the bunkers wht n
she left New York, no con-
clusion can be drawn as to
the possible limit of efficiency
of the Columbia as a commerce
destroyer from this voyage. This
much may be said, however, on
general principles, that commerce
destroyer that does not have ready
access to coal supplies will not
destroy commerce very long or
very much. To get the highest
destructive power out of these ves-
sells the nation employing them
must have colonies in whose forth
fed ports they can replenish their
bunkers in safety before starting
out on another raid. Such colo
MES the United States has not, and
therefore many naval officers view
the commerce destroyer idea as a
delusion. No great war has ever
been settled by commerce destroy
ing, whereas the fates of nations
have often determined on the is
sues Of battles between fleets.

they may be told and forget. Dur
ing all the time the building has
been in course of erection there has
been no glass in the windows and
the glass is liable to get smashed,
either from the inside or outside,
unless people know it is there. So
they daub soap or paint on the
