PULLMAN SHOPS TO BE OPENED
SOON.
And There Will Be Stampede for
Work Among the Men-A
Leader Talks.

CHICAGO, July 16.-The announce
ment that strikers at Pullman were
on the point of surrendering and
asking for employment in the Palace
Car works at the reduced wages was
confirmed yesterday. Mr.. Heath
cote, leader of the Pullman strikers,
admitted that all his influence and
that of other labor leaders was re-
quired to prevent general STAN
pede of the workmen, and officials of
the Pullman company acknowledged
that they expected orders from head
quarters any day to open the car
shops that have been closed more
than eight weeks. 1t was in an
guished tones that Mr.. Heathcote
made the announcement.

OPEN IN A WEEK.

Pullman officials say week would
be required to get ready for opening
the works. They expect the an
nouncement of the opening to be
made this week and expect to begin
operations with all the men needed
to get out the contracts now on hand.
Mr.. Heathcote made the statement
that the A. r. U. had never donated
a dollar to the hungry Pullman
strikers, and that the only way Mr..
Debs had shown his sympathy for
the strikers had been by calling out
railway men right and left. Mr..
Heathcote added that he did not ex-
pect the railway union to furnish
any funds, although a number OF
strikers thought that would be an
appropriate manner for him to show
his sympathy.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-It has
been apparent for some time that
the Republicans meant to make a
desperate fight this fall to carry
the Second West Virginia district.
They reason that if they can de-
feat Hon. William L. Wilson for re
election to Congress, it will be a
crushing blow to the cause of tariff
reform and viii deprive the Demo
Gratis Of one Of their ablest and most
popular leaders.
To accomplish their purpose the
Republican National Committee and
the Republican Congressional Cam
paign Committee have already laid
elaborate plans for the most thorough
going, energetic and expensive cam
paign in the Second district that
has ever been undertaken for the
purpose of capturing seat in Con
gress.
They will begin their work early,
and once begun, it will be kept up
untiriDgly till the polls close on the
night of election.
The district will be flooded with
the most insidious and alluring
brands of Republican campaign lit
erature, and relays of stump speak
ers, big and little, great and small,
will be kept ia the field talking to
the voters
ALL THROUGH THE FALL.
These nlans hv which II 10 bored
to encompass the defeat of Mr. vii.
son, are already perfected, but there
is another thing which gives the
Republicans great concern, and that
is the selection of candidate to put
up against Mr.. Wilson whose
strength will be such that it will
contribute something to forward the
efforts of the campaign committees
But the Republican managers do
not find it easy to discover such a
candidate in the Second district.
The Republicans of real strength
in the district are unwilling to make
the race, for they take no stock in
the talk that Mr.. Wilson will be an
easy man to beat this fall.
They remember how in the past
he has been elected again and again,
in spite of the fact that the most
powerful interests in the district
were against him, and used every
influence at their command to in
duce or force the workingmen to re-
fuse to support him.

Senator e. J. Faulkner is very
sanguine of speedy settlement OF
the tariff question in conference, and
confidently expects a great many
changes and improvements in the
bill by the conference committee.
He gives a very graphic account of
the difficulties and many kinks that
the democrats had to encounter and
overcome before they could get any
sort of tariff bill through the Sen
ate with the small majority in that
body. 1t was very doubtful, up to
the very last moment, whether the
democratic forces could be held to-
gether, but the result showed only
one dcserter and that was Senator

meeting was most harmonious and
much business of Importance to the
party was disposed Of If the party

1t was agreed that there should
be an active and aggressive cam

been taken to this end The only
trouble about immediate action is
the want Of some definite law on the
subject of the tariff and it was large

that caused the meeting to adjourn.
The next meeting will be held at
Charleston on the 24th Instant.

of the public money. My official opin-
ion is that it is sufficient for the State
to prove that money, regardless of
amount, was used in purchasing chips
or checks, regardless of numbers and
that such facts show that chips an6
checks actually represent money"
1t is we'll settled that it is not neces-
sarY to prove the specific amount of
money bet at faro. Why then should
it be necessary to prove the specific
value of chips and checks, the repre-
sentatives Of money? But of what avail
are the views of the district attorney
on this question, when such views are
contrary to the rulings of the conrt.
Should a jury convict in any faro case,
and upon proof by the State that
money was used to purchase chips and
checks, regardless of amount and num-
Der, the court, under its, views of the
law of the case, would set aside the
verdict and grant new trial, On the

absolute and unequivocal violation of
the same.
Heretofore little has been said
about this Though The PRoeREss has
referred to it indirectly several times)
but it has been very generally
understood that he had no legal right
to sit in the council. The fact which
brings it most forcibly before the
public at this time is due to two
things. First, the contract for wind
ing the city clock, awarded to Mr.. J.
W. Stallcup, was abrogated when he
was elected patrolman. It occurred
to the citizens that the City Council
was exercising an unjust discrimina~.
ton in dealing with Mr.. Stallcup,,
while 1t paid no attention to Mr.
louree, who has long been in q SINH
lar position. The council did right.
in annulling Mr.. Stallcup's contract,
but it should long ago have ordered
an election to fill the legal vacancy
caused by Mr.. Youree's acceptance
as manager Of the water works
But this is yet graver reason why
Mr., Youree should resign and this,
is because the council will be re-
quested to order an election to ascer-
tain the will of the people on the
issuance of bonds to buy the water
works 1t is a we'll known belief that
the Waterworks Company is ex-
tremely anxious to unload it's plant
on the city. 1t it equally as well
known that Capt. Peter Youree, the
councllman'S brother, is large stock
holder i'll this corporation and would
be immensely benefited if the city
could be induced, persuaded, or in
any manner made to buy the same.
Therefore as the question of relegat-
ing this scheme to the people may
come up in the council, from motives
of delicacy, aside from his unlawful
incumbency, Mr.. H FL. Youree should
step down aud out"
The people don't want this matter
referred to them but desire the coun-
Gil to do its duty by crushing the
scheme, as it deserves to be extermi-
mated, right 10 the council meeting,

are right and have privilege to say

asked by the district attorney what
was the usual value of the chips and
checks in faro games, NJ. G. Elstner,
ESQ, objected that such testimony was
not sufficient, but that it was necessary
for the State to prove the specific
value of the chips and checks used in
this particular case. The district
Judge sustained the objection and the
State being unable to make the proof
nolle prosequi was, of course, en-.
tered.
So that there might not possibly be
any mistake as to the ruling of the
court in the Leopard case, l have in.
terviewed the district judge since the
trial, and he holds positively that even
the proof that chips and checks were
bought with money would not be sui
fcient, but that the specific amount OF
money paid and the specific number OF
chips purchased would have to be
proven in each particular case. In
other words, if white, blue and red
chips are purchased by the faro player
the State must show the specific value
of the white, the specific value of the
blue, and the specific value of the red.
That is to say that in every case OF
| faro, it must be shown that white chips
were worth so much each, red chips
worth so much each, and blue chips
worth so much each.
While in several cases the State was
ready to prove that money was used tC
purchase chips, yet there was no testi-
mony before the grand jury to show
that any particular sum Of money was
paid for any particular number of chips
the witness having failed to remember
anything about the matter, except that
in several instances money was used by
the PLAYERS in purchasing chips and
checks, and that faro was dealt by GER
tain parties. By the provisions of Sec
ton 9l3 of the Revised Statutes of 1870,
all persons engaged in playing faro are
equally guilty with the dealer of the
Egamc and can be subjected, on convic.
ton, to the same penalty, i. e., fine of
not less than one thousand dollars nor
more than five thousand dollars for the
first offense
AS the player can not be made to
criminate himself. and as the value of
chips and checks differ in the various
games of faro, being regulated by an
express of tacit understanding among
the parties engaged in gambling, the
State is virtually debarred from prov
ing the specific value of the chips and
checks in any particular case, unless
some thIrd person sees player pur-
chase certain number of chips and
checks for q specific price.
While | entertain the highest per-
soral and professional regard for the
district judge, / cannot and do not
agree with him as TO his Interpretation
OF the law in the faro cases.
The hands of the States attorney are
tied by the ruling of the court. The
State cannot reserve a bill of excep-
tions in such a case. If the party is
convicted, of course he may appeal to
a higher court II, however, he is ac-
quilted, the State has no right of ap-
peal, as no person can be put in jeop-
ardy OF his life or liberty but once. So
the State is powerless. Prosecutions
under such circumstances are a useless
waste OF time and a vain expenditure
