THE WHISKY TRUST
Unable 10 Secure Money to Get Out
of bond It's Product.

New York, Aug. 26.-Excitement for
Wall street was furnished today by
the efforts OF whisky trust managers
to beg or borrow enough cash to pay
the 90-cent tax on the whisky now
In bond before the tax is raised to 81. 10
gallon, as 1t will be after midnight
tonight Early in the day the Worm
sers, brokers OF the trust, were seen
going into the office OF Russell Sage.
There was long talk and after It was
over MIR. Sage would only say then
that negotiations were still pending
This Is the only reply he has made to
all whisky queries for the last week
Mr.. Wormser would say nothing and
President Greenhut OF the trust said
the monye has not been raised Their
elaborate explanations put through
the ruinor agencies, explaining how tho
cash could be deposited In the sub
treasury here as n certificate of de-
post wired on to the collector OF in
ternal revenue in Peoria to be accepted
by him as cash and the whisky re-
leased.
This would be a novel proceeding
oul ny consent OF the secretary of the
treasury II might be accepted. When
the sub-treasury closed no cash had
been received nor was any notice
given to the officials to be on the look
out for II. It was understood that MIR.
Sage was willing to make the loan on
his own terms which included the per-
sonal Endorsement Of every whisky
trust director on the paper, covering
the lien on the whisky to be liberated
BY tax payment. There was also a
demand for n bonus payment for the
accommodation. The objection came
from the refusal Of Nelson Morris TO
put his very responsible name on the
bank and the bank OF commerce stand
ready to make immediate transfer OF
the cash In notes of large denomlna-
tons as soon as MIR, Sage gave the
signal. SO far us New York was con-
cerned, the day ended with direct as
sertions that the cash was to be had
sertions We're not proven.

THE STRIKE COMMISSION.
Describes the System the PuiIman
Company Has OF Collecting Rents
From Its Tcnants-How the Men
Are Paid Their Wages.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 27.--The strike
commissioners devoted q large share
of their session today to the examina-
ton of Manager E. f. Bryant of the
bank at Pullman. Mr.. Bryant APP
peared with a yard or two of type
written statistics but at the request
of Commissioner Herman laid the state
ment aside and answered questions.
He was particular to state that he was
not an employe Of the Pullman COM
pany as the bank was owned by the
Pullman Southern Car company but
later admitted that the latter company
is controlled by the Palace Car COM
pany. Mr.. Bryant said that the capt.
tai stock of the bank is 100000 and
that In July. 1893, the deposits
amounted to about s65S.OOO. Two thou
sand four hundred and twenty-five
of the deposItors at that time
were Pullman employees. their accounts
averaging s240. In July, 1894, the de-
posits amounted to s453,0o0 with only
1414 employees accounts which aver
aged 500. The witness said that the
Pullman workmen were paid In checks,
that each month the men were given
two checks II they rented company
dwellings. one representing the amount
of rent due and the other the balance
of wages earned. Mr. Bryant was
questioned sharply regarding the sys-
TEN of paying but emphatically stated
that there was nothing compulsory
about the men paying their rent.
THE checks are only made for the
convenience of the men," he said, land
fhaNr Fr1faN - Afs .,s At.Aa
check back to the company as they
choose"
1T is Just a sort of gentle remin-
der that the rent is due" suggested
Commissioner Herman.
1T Is simply for the mems convent
ence," the witness replied.
The bank manager was then rigidly
examined as to the methods of the
company for collecting back rent. Mr..
Bryant was asked regarding the case
of Jennie Curtis, Pullman employe
who had claimed that she had been
compelled to pay back rent due on
the house which her father had oc-
cupied previous to his death. The wit
ness said the company had not COM
PEELED Miss Curtis to pay the rent.
but admitted that she had done so.
Rev. G. II. Eaton of the Church of
the Paternity of New York surprised
the audience by his testimony. He as
serted that the reports " suffering
at Pullman had been greatly exag-
gerated. He had visited Pullman
houses. he said, and found no desti-
tuition and no distress. The men had
told him they had no real grievances.
he declared, and had no real cause
for striking. DR.. Eaton did not be-
lieve that compulsory arbitration would
prevent arikes, giving as his reason
that one side of such controversies,
the laboring men, were not RESPONSE
BILE and that any agreement that
might be reached would be liable to
violation. The clergyman said that the
proper method of preventing strikes
was to build up and improve the char
acter of the workingman. He had
found Pullman, he said, a very salts
factory place in that regard, as the
mems characters there were under good
| influences
