railroad companies. It would be con-
trolled by financial agent of the goU
eminent and should be invested in
sound railroad bonds. The bill should
provide that any man who had faith
fully discharged his duties for a GER
tain number of years could retire for
life on half pay. If a man was killed
his family should be entitled to the
pension. There should also be a clause
providing payment Of certain sum
when employees are i'll. In fact, the
fund should be disbursed on the plan
in vogue in the better class Of benevo-
lent societies.
Mr.. Debs could not eradicate his idea
of government ownership of railroads.
but in lieu of that pet scheme he was
willing to accept the one proposed. He
wished to hear it discussed, however,
by the men of the day.
Vice-President Howard, of the A r.
U, was fatfooted in his approval.
Director L. w. Rogers, of the A. R.
u, was disposed to criticise the scheme
but thought it on the whole merito-
rious one.
Debs charged the General Managers
association with an abnormal lack of
sincerity.
THE strike is not over" he declared.
1--WE are going to win. The railroads
are running freight trains, but they
are carrying little freight Three
months more Of this sort of thing, and
every railroad in Chicago will be bank
rupt. The strike is still on and will be
until we win
Aside from the crowd attracted by
the address. the 4. r. U headquarters
appeared almost deserted today. Now
and then a missionary" drifted into
the office, but the usual crowd of curl
Gus and the hustle that has heretofore
prevailed the place was lacking.

Washington, July 1.-THE Demo-
cratic members of the tariff conferences
committee adjourned earlier than usual
today and the situation at the time of
from the best informa-
ton obtainable, was that the conferees
were far from an agreement and that
within a short time a disagreement will
be reported to the Senate and House.
The question which has been agitat-
ing the members seems to be just what
kind of a report to make, but the i'm
preston seemed to be that it would be-
of a general disagreement with per-
haps some of the main points specified.
It had not been decided to call in the
Republican members Of the conference
when adjournment was taken, but il
is possible the full conference may meet
tomorrow or next day. 1t was evident
from what could be learned, that the
meeting showed a tendency to get
further apart than before and the dis
cussion of the main questions showed
there would have to be instructions
from the respective houses before the
conferees would feel warranted in yield
ing from the positions they have taken
from the first. When the conferences
adjourned one of the conferees summed
up the situation as follows:
1--WE have accomplished absolutely
nothing today. We have not advanced
an inch, and after being together all
day we are exactly where we were last
Saturday night"
The Texas and Louisiana members OF
the House who intended to meet and
take action against the continuation Of
the Hawaiian treaty postponed the
meeting until tomorrow.

Topeka, Kan, July 16-suit was filed
in the United States circuit court to-
day against the Union Pacific Railroad
company, to foreclose bonds amounting
to sl1,724,O0O. The suit was filed by
George j. Gould and Russell Sage,
trustees of the bondholders Of the
Kansas Pacific Railroad company by
their attorneys, Rossington, Myth &
Dallas. 1t is alleged that the bonds are
in default. 1t is also alleged that since
the property of the Kansas Pacific pass
ed under the control of the Union
Pacific, its revenues, which were SUI
fieient to protect the bondholders, have
been used TO defray the expenses on
other parts of the system. The plant
ifs ask for the appointment Of receiv-
ers to look after their interests.
Judge Foster appointed Messrs. S. H.
H. Clark Oliver W. Mink and E. Ellery
Anderson, three of the five receivers of
the Union Pacific, as receivers of the
Kansas Pacific, with instructions to
continue TO operate the road as a part
of the Union Pacific system, keeping
the accounts separate.
It is rumored here that this is a step
toward the reorganization of the
Kansas Pacific Railroad company.

st. Louis, July 16.-National Director
M J. Elliott admitted today that so far
as St. Louis and vicinity is concerned,
the A. R. U. has lost the contest. Ac-
cording to Director Elliott fully one
third of the strikers have returned to
work These, with the new men en-
ployed. almost fill the vacancies The
situation is the same on both sides Of
the river. The erstwhile strikers are
making every effort to get back to
work, but 50 far as can be ascertained
fully 40 per cent. are permanently out
of jobs so far as their former employ
ers are concerned, while a large num-
Der of men win have to wait until bust
ness picks up.

A number of spectators also an
nounced their determination to stand
by the court and as the situation be-
gan to look critical the deputy United
States district attorney succeeded in
having the soldiers returned to the
deDot.
Colonel Graham also declared that
the soldiers were sent to the court
room as witnesses against the prison
ers. Like the deputy United States
district attorney he claims that their

apprehension by the deputy United
States marshal who had them in

day, by a vote of 125 to 27, adopted a
resolution offered by Mr.. McCreary, of

der On His Hands.
San Francisco, July 16.-Charley Swee-
Dey, once the king of baseball pitchers,
yesterday shot and killed Con McManus,
a notorious local tough, in a saloon row.
McManus, who is powerful man, beat
Sweeney and threatened to shoot INN.
He attacked the ex-baseban player a
second time, when Sweeney fired three
shots at McManus, two of them taking
effect. Sweeney surrendered to the po-
lice.
At one time Sweeney was reckoned as
the best baseball pitcher in the country.
He pitched for Providence when the team
from that city won the national cham
pionship and later filled the box for
Henry Lucas st. Louis SILK Stocking
Maroons. His arm gave out, and his
usefulness as pitcher being gone, Swee-
ney returned to California. FOR a time
he played in the local league here, then
became a special policeman and had his
star taken from him by the chief of police.
Lately he has been acting as q sort of
body guard to Frank McManus, a saloon
keeper and brother of the dead man.
If Sweeney is cleared of the murder
charge, he will probably be killed by
Frank McManus, as the latter, who is
notorious fighter, has sworn to aVenge
his brothers death.

THE PRESIDENTS ACTION.
Governor West and Others Give
Their Views.

New York, July 16.-The World this
morning publishes dispatches from
representatives in Congress, senators
and the governor of Utah, giving their
views of the presidents action in de-
Gliding to appoint a commission to in
quire into the Pullman strike. In near
~ every instance the verdict is one of
approval Senator Q. H Plat, of Con-
necticut. however, thinks the commits
sion will be without authority to in
Quire into the Pullman strike. Repre-
sentative Daniels, of New York, thinks
the federal government should not in
terfere. and that the investigation of
arbitration should be left to the states.
The chief value of the proposed inqui-
~ he finds in the fact that public at
tention will be directed to the neces-
sity of preventing the recurrence of Ia
Dor troubles.
Senator Klye, who is chairman of the
Senate committee on labor. disagress
with Mr.. Plat as TO authority of the
commission to extend its inquiry to the
Pullman strike and anticipates thor
eugh and valuable investigation in that
direction. The general opinion ex-
pressed by other national legisla tors
is that the step Of the president is wise,
just and patriotic and likely to lead
TO an investigation tending to heal the
social disorders growing out of restless
ness of labor.
Governor VESTS Ideas.
Governor West, of Utah.-Every right
minded citizen Will applaud President
Cleveland's action in determining to
appoint 4 committee to investigate and
report upon the great strike. The pro-
posed inquiry is directly in line with
the the spirit Of popular government.
We have a great controversy between
labor and capital, in which vast in
terests are involved. and as soon as
quiet is restored the president selects a
commission to find out just what
caused the trouble and, if possible,
how such difficulties may be avoided in
the future. With such q statute on
our books and with a chief executive
determined to do his duty, there is no
citizen SO humble that MS interests will
be overlooked or his rights disregarded

AS result of this and other COM
munications the strikers express con-
fdence that they will yet win. They
claim that the strike in Colorado is
by no means broken. The announce
nent was made that the kilograms re-
eeived tonight were the last that would
como by wire, as the United States
courts have secured strike messages
retaining them as evidence. In the
future the mails will be used.
