CHICAGO, July l6.-President Debs,
of the American Railway Union, still
claims to be certain OF coming out
ahead in his fight with the railroads.
Directors Goodwin and Hogan, of the
American Railway Union, left this
morning to begin the work of organic
ing the men in the Northwest and the
country west of the Mississippi. There
are now eight of these organizers out.
"Our policy" said Mr.. Debs, lis to
keep these organizers with the men so
the strikers will not weaken. We have
everything solid west of the Mississippi
That is our strong point. l claim that
as long as we have traffic stopped at any
one point we have not yet lost the fight
1t is as If you stop the flow OF blood in
an artery-you stop the circulation in
the whole system"
but every thing seems to be running
smoothly on the different roads, does it
no,?" Debs was asked
"Oh, WE'LL" admitted the labor leader,
1.-THE passenger business in and out is
being transacted fairly we'll, but there
are no Irel8ntS moving at all, ana that's
where we have the best OF them. That's
whore we expect to cripple the enemy"
At the depots Mr.. Debs statement
that freight traffic is paralyzed is not by
any means borne out. Most OF roads
are moving freight without tho slightest
trouble.
When shown press dispatch stating
tat Mr.. Heathcote, the leader of the
Pullman strikers, had asked him to call
off the strike, Debs denied it fatty.
The Pullman strikers are just as rm
as ever" he said. They have no in
tention OF going back to work. II Pail
man is S tisfed they are. Heathcote
has not made me any prop sition of that
kind. On the contrary no has assured
me OF his corporation"
Dabs re ceivcd report from LaSalle,
Ill, this morning declaring that the
Rock Island road is again badly con.
gested a. that point Debs asserted
that within forty eight hours he would
have the Rock Island in as bad shape as
ever.
The usual meeting OF the American
Railway Union was held at Uhlic's hall
this morning. President Debs ad-
dressed large audience. Yesterday he
spoke at eight different meetings.

4 DEAD HEAT.
AN EXCITING RACE BETWEEN
TWO CRACKERJACKS.
Domino and Henry of Navarro Come
Under the Wire With Noses
Even.

New York, Sept. IA more profit
Gus day could not have been desired
for the race between Domino and
Henry of Navarro. The odds were
one to two against Domino and Z to
) against Henry OF Navarro. There
was scarcely an instant's delay at the
post and the two went away in per-
feet order. In the second eighth the
pace was quickened a bit. for Domino
went out and took the rail. The posi-
tons were unchanged until they
rounded into the straight and when
they Strengthened out for home it
could be seen that Domino was falter-
ing.
"D0minO's beaten" went up from
thousands of on-lookers. 1t was not
all plain sailing for Henry of Navarro,
however, as he was faltering too,
and could not hold the advantage Of
a head which he had just gained.
Domino slowly crept up until their
noses were even and so they ran to the
end. The judges were unable to sep
arate them and, amid cheers of the
crowd, dead" signals were hung out
and owners agreed to divide.

HE CAN'T PAY IT
MAKES AN IMPORTANT
DECISION.
Says He Has No Authority to Pay
Sugar Bounties Since the New Tar
if Took Effect

Washington, Sept. 1I.-Secretary
Carlisle has written to Senator Man
derson declining to pay any sugar
bounty since the date of the new tariff
act. The secretary states that he has
arrived at the conclusion that such
payments cannot be made without fur
ther legislation by congress. He says:
The question that is presented for
consideration is not whether the pro-
ducerS Of sugars have or have not q
valid claim against the government of
the United States for bounty which ac-
crued before its repeal, but whether
the secretary of the treasury now has
the authority to pay it. AS no money
can be drawn from the treasury eX-
cept in pursuance of appropriation by
law, it follows that if congress re-
pealed the appropriation made by the
act of October /, 1890, the authority of
the secretary of the treasury to pay
any bounty for production of sugar OF
any kind under said act has termi-
mated. For reasons thus briefly indi-
Gated, / am constrained to decline to
make payment upon any pending
claims"

CON A GIlNN RING.
THE ASSETS OF THE OLD COM.
MERCIAL BANK.
Ex-PreSident Edward r. Paine Prays
to Be Discharged from His
Debts

Milwaukee, Sept. 17.-An applica ton
by Edward r. Paine, who was presi-
dent if the old Commercial bank, to be
discharged from his debts, will be
heard in the circuit court on Oct. 81.
The creditors will not get cent from
Mr.. Paine's estate, according to a
statement made by Assignee John
Campbell yesterday. This statement
is surprising, as it was believed by
some at least that there would be
something like 100000 to distribute
among the general creditors.
There is nothing TO Distribute" said
Mr.. Campbell There never was any
property except land contracts and
notes and all of those are in such a
shape as to do no good to the credit
ors."
The assignor, Mr. Paine, has Sc
cured an order from the circuit court
for any interested party to show cause
on October ~ why he should not be
discharged from Lis debts.
The schedule filed in the circuit court
gives land contracts and notes which
figure up to some $107, 900, but the
notes are held as security by the Com
mercial bank and the contracts are in
such shape as to prevent the general
creditors realizing on them. The LA
bilities rs figured in the papers on file
foot up to over $191 900.
The largest creditors are the Lisbon
Avenue Heights Land company, to
which, according to the record, is due
$60,450, and the Forest Park Land
company, which has two claims
amounting to $50, $50 The sum of
$1,000 is due j. G. Flint, James Knee
land and H. B. Anderson. The time
for filing the final report of the assig,
nee has been extended till Jan. /.

Berlin, Sept. 1.-THE latest public
utterance OF Emperor William is his
proclamation cordially thanking the
people of Prussia for the magnificent
reception accorded their maJestleS
during the army maneouyres Emper-
or William expressed his disapproYal
of the practice of keeping the puDHc
at distance. During the exercises at
Elbing, the police began forcing back
the crowd. The emperor noticed the
action of the police and ordered the
officers to allow the crowd to approach
saying: The people want to see their
emperor and the emperor wants TO
see his people"
News has just been received Of the
arrest in Belgium Of Solomon hauft-
mann, formerly United States consular
agent at Maustadt, Bavaria. He was
charged with apprOpriating various
sums of money amounting to 100000
marks The money, it appears, was
sent by various American cour~S .
persons residing in his district who
had fallen heir to American estates.
The prisoner also used his position 1t
is claimed, TO work up estate claims in
America.
As if tC disproye the French state
ments that he desired to discontinue
the popular celebration of Sedan day,
Emperor William has announced his
attention to have bronze medals cast
from the French guns which were
captured in the war of 1S7O-71, and
distribute them on the 10Th annivers-
airy of the battle of Sedan, September
2. 1895. to the surviving veterans of
the German army.
Among the new bills which the gov
eminent is preparing in one imposing
a tax on the export Of saccharIne ana
other chemically produced sweets
which enter into competition with
German sugar manufacturers who
are dissatisfied with the new United
States tariff.
The Zeitung says that Emperor Will
liam has written words and music
to a cantata in the style of the old
minnesabergs or MINISTRIES, eXtolling
the personal and intellectual qualities
of Queen Margaret of Italy, to whom
the composition is dedicated.
Memorial coins of the value of three
marks, called reconciliation thalers"
have been coined in the Berlin mint
at the order of the emperor to COM
memorate the reconciliation between
his majesty and the eX-chancellor.
Five thousand in all were coined, but
not for public use. One side shows
Emperor William i'll generals uni

marck in cruiser garb. On the rim OF
the coin appears Elm Gedacht Mis-
thaler."

fed by outside appearances here which
began to manifest themselves early
this morning. One notable indication
was the dofting of Breckenridge badges
and dOnning Owen badges by the most
ardent young blOOdS who supported
Brecklnridge throughout the campaign

will probably inherit many millions of
dollars. The young girl was left an
orphan by the death of her father,
James La Sage, about three months
ago. Mr.. La Sage left his native ooln-
try about fifteen years ago and married
in Gloucester City. He acquired a
small property, which was ordered
sold by the orphans court in order
that his affairs might be settled up.
1t was while the estate was being
settled in the orphans court that Sir
rogate West learned that La Sage had
wealthy relatives in Brussels, Belgium.
Elizabeth was sent to a Catholic
orphan institution in New Brunswick
by friends of her father living III Glou-
cester City and Surrogate West opened
up a correspondence with her relatives
in Brussels.
The result Of this correspondence was
that he found that Elizabeth is niece
Of Madame La Sage Karhausen. who
is said to be the Wealthiest woman in
Belgium. She conducts an establish
ment in Brussels which in that country
rivals the Partisan Bon Marche or
Wanamaker of this city.
Mr. West had the little orphan photo
graphed and IN one Of his letters to
Madame Karhausen sent one of the
pictures. Several days ago he re-
ceived a letter from Madame Karhau-
sen enclosing a check sufficient to pay
for a frst-class passage from New
York to Brussels and all other Incl
dental expenses. Madame Karhausen,
in her letter, requested that the child
be sent to her Immediately as she would
adopt her and make her the heiress to
her vast wealth.
The child was fitted out with an en-
tire new wardrobe by Surrogate Vests
wife, and yesterday the surrogate took
her to New York, whence she started
OH her journey to her new home on the
steamer Friesland. She was placed in
charge Of the stewardess of the
steamer who has promised to care for
her on her journey.

THE BATH TUB.
Hereafter to Be a Factor in the Educa-
ton of the Chicago Youth.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE Chicago
board of education, after a somewhat
tempestuouS discussion, voted to aban-
don the old Slanting system Of pen
manship and to introduce into the Chi
cago schools the vertical system. The
board introduced another innovation,
the bath tub as factor in education.
A part of the basement of the Jones
school. corner of Harrison street and
Plymouth place, will be fitted up with
bath tubs and the same will be done
with the basement of the WaShburn
school, Fourteenth street, near Des-
PLANES. The truant officers, 1t is
stated are constantly finding children
whose physical condition makes it I'M
desirable to have them thrust into the
schools. Then, too, there are other
pupils whose parents do not appear to
possess a clear appreciation OF what
the proper degree of cleanliness is. So
henceforth, in these schools at least,
dirty boys will receive a stumbling I'M
der the supervision Of the school JAM
tor. and girls who look as though q
bath would improve their appearance
will be taken charge of by the women
who are employed as assistant janitors.
The board deemed it as essential that
a child should know the value of soap
and water, as we'll as the double rule
of three or the theory of the tides.
The plan to supply the schools with
bath tubs was originated by Mrs. J. NJ
Flower, who recently retired from a
years service as a member of the
board of education and who is now q
candidate for trustee of the state uni
versity.
