strike InvestIgasI On

CHICAGO, Aug. % la the investigs-
ton OF the Pullman strike by the national
commission today, Cbauucey Ke;sey, of
the Chicago & Altou road, testified the
loss sustained by that road during the
strike WAS $2S6,3 The Chicago Sc
Eastern Illinois reported sci, 600. Tbe
Chicago, Darlington 6 Quincy $780,
600 In the destruction of Its property
with other losses not tabulated,
Charles E. Webb, chief clerk of the
bank at Pullman, testified that Jennie
Curtis, who claimed she was compelled 10
pay back rent, had paid voluntarily.
When Vice-President Wickes took the
stand, he SAID the cost to the company of
building cars under contract at the time
of the strike was about $1400,O00. The
labor wonld cost about $4,000. The
contracts were taken on the basis of re-
duction OF 20 per cent. Tins under the
old prices the labor would have cost
about $350.000, Wickes admitted that
on this basis the company had reduced
the receipts $4,000 and the employees
wages 100000. Ihis, the vice-president
said. looked hardly fair, but he thought
1t much better than to throw men entirely
out of employment. In answer to the
chairman, Wickes said the cut IN pay han
been made to fit the depression IN busi
ness and 10 the low selling price of cars,
and not to stop any encroachments oL
the profits paid stockholders. The sur
nlus of S25 ono 0((l updivjded nrofi re con
sisted partly of idle cars whose value was
constantly deteriorating. The cost of the
cars was counted in the surplus. so there
was to some extent fiction in the figure
of the surplus.

A Fight With his Tenants

WARSAW, Aug. 27-Count Tyszkes-
wicz, whose estates are near Krottingen.
in the government OF Wilma, has been on
bad terms with bis tenants for several
months. Some of the tenants refused to
pay rent. Last Saturday the count
seized so head of their cattle as security
The peasants were intensely excited by
the appearance of the counts officers, and
let the cattle go only after having been
driven with clubs from the sheds. Early
yesterday morning about 100 of them,
armed with old muskets, scythes and
pitchfOrEs, marched to the counts castle
They demanded the cattle back. Some
90 servants and the foreman ordered them
to leave the neighborhood. In the light
which followed four of the counts em
ployes and six or seven of the peasants
were killed, and many others wounded :.
The peasants remained near the park all
the morning but did not rLnew the at
tack. They threaten to burn the castle.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 29-The native press

THE BOAT RAILWAY.

Senator Dolph has labored for years
ia the senate for an appropriation
for boat-railway around the obstruc
tions to navigation In the Columbia
riyer from this city to Cello, and the
bill which passed the upper house has
been defeated in the lower one on two
different occasions. In this he has been
ably assisted by his colleague, MI.
Mitchell, who has been interchangeable
in his efforts in behalf of his constitu-
ents. At the recent session an item
of 100000 was inserted in the River
and Harbor bill for this improvement,
and this may be considered the begin
ming of a grand undertaking. With
the great river opened to navigation 1t
will be second to none on the continent
except the Mississippi, and is superior
to that stream in many respects. This
will relieve producers from the grasp
of the railroad monopoly, and will en-
courage settlement in the Inland Em-
pire. The last few years have demon
strated that the soil of the north
west is equal to any portion OF the
country for the growth of grain, vege-
tables and fruit, and with an available
narket and cheap means of transpor-
tatloa will possess the means of sup
porting much larger population than
it has ct present. 1t may be many
years be re the work is completed;
but after beginning is made, and its
importance understood, the boat rail-
way will receive its propotion of ap-
preparations until finished. 10 the
people residing In the vicinity of The
Dalles the work at the Cascades is of
the greatest Importance, and an open
river above will be of little benefit.
The locks will be completed in two or
three years, and then there will he an
open highway TO the sea from this
point. But to the inland Empire the
Columbia river is the great natural
channel of ommerce, and it should
flow to the sea unvexed by single
obstruction.

where there are no restrictions on cit-

even in business transactions, and
especially should this be true of a
company like the Pullman, that has
made colossal fortune from the
skilled work of its employees. An
try, whether founded on hereditary
aristocracy is despicable in any coun-
title or composed of the governing
classes, and when its chief support is
accumulated wealth by unfair means
it partakes of the elements OF mean
penuriousness. There may have been a
time when he Pullman company stood
fair before the American people; but
that time has passed, and its reputa-
tlon for fairness will be shady here

Tariff Rili suits Canada.

TORONTO, Aug. 90 The new tariff law
as passed by the recent congress. causes
coDsldersbie discussion here among bust
ness men. and it is generally believed it
will have an important bearing IN Cana
dian Interests The most important
feature of the measure, so far as Canada
is concerned, is the placing of sawed and
dressed lumber and all kindred materials
on the free list. It is thought among
lumbermen that the abolition of duty
will mean in the course of the next few
years an export trade upwards of $20,-
100000 with the United States. Free
wool will also result in considerable
expansion of trade. Barley, in which
Ontario eoioyed large trade before Nc
Kinley bill became operative, will, 1t is
thought, hardly revive under duty OF
80 per cent. The same may oe said of
the egg and horse trade, in which Oo-

There was statement In the able
discourse of Bishop Joyce In the
Methodist church yesterday which
will be endorsed by Trinitarians and
Unitarians, Catholics and Protestants
the world over, and that was, Christ
in the conscience of humanity for time
and eternity. It makes little differ
ence whether one believes in the dog
mas Of religion-the incarnation, the
immaculate conception, the trinity, or
any of the numerous articles of the
Nicene creed-the life and teachings
of Jesus Christ furnish an exemplfi-
cation of the highest morality, the
purest and most unseltish motives, and
the noblest self-sacrifices of any in
the history of the world. Socrates,
Buddha, Confucius, Zoroaster and
others left the world better than they
found it; out the one character 10
whom centers all excellence and all
purity was that of the humble Naz-
arene, who during his daily comming-
ling with the most bigoted and selfish
Of all people displayed qualities that
completely isolated him from their
prejudices. In this regard, as an ex-
emplar of all virtues. he is, in the
comprehensive meaning of the word,
the conscience of mankind, and will be
for all coming time. 1t is not neces-
sary to clothe him with divinity
to entertain this high ideal
of Jesus; but it IS simply an honest
Judgment upon the acts and charae-
ter of being whom all admire, and
whom all have elevated to the highest
pinnacle of excellence. Nineteen hun
dred years have passed since this
character was given to the world, and
in all the religious controversies of
sects which have caused the cruelest
hatreds, the most diabolical tortures
to be inflicted on men, women and
children, feHds which have lasted for
generations, and caused human blood
to run like rivers, the students of his
tory may discern in each of these rad
ical departure from the doctrine of him
who taught love and peace, friendship
and rharity, mercy and tolerance, and
condemned jealousy, hypocrisy and all
manner of deception. Dogma and creed
came as the result of conquest and op-
preston, and these were followed by
bigotry and persecution. Christ as
the man lover; Christ as the exemplar
of honesty. and purity of motive; Christ
as the unsel6sh philantrophIst and
friend; Christ as the embodiment of
all that is good, noble and virtuous in
mankind is, and always will lie, the |
conscience of the human race.
