Midsummer Hard Times.

CHICAGO, August 10--PullmRn strik-
ers are becoming exceedingly hard
pressed for food, fuel and other supplies.
For the last week the relief committee
has found 1t uphill work to supply $500
men who applied every day for aid, and
nearly every day many hundreds have
been turned away en- pity handed.
One poor woman, who looked worn
and faded, came twice during one day,
carrying her baby on one arm and tug.
ging another child by the hand. She
said that sll she wanted was q small
piece Of the beef which was being dis
tributed, but she was compelled TO 60
away without 1t. A considerable num-
bOr Of men applied for fuel and kerosene
oil, but there was absolutely none to
give out A large proportion Of the
families In the poorer parts Of Pullman
are forced to 60 wholly without lights
during the evening, and grope their way
to bed as best they may.
In some cases the fuel is all gone, and
whole families are beginning to subsist
on cold or raw food unless they are for
tunate enough to bO able to use q neigh
boris stove some time during the day.
Most Of the suffering is, Of course,
among the residents Of the tenement
blocks along Fulton street, but the
higher grade Of workmen who live In
better houses are also suffering to some
extent. The unusual spectacle is pre-
Sented Of men and women suffering for
food in rooms which better times had
furnished with carpets, upholstered
chairs, and in some cases an organ or o
piano.
The Pullman company has practically
decided TO evict it's striking tenants for
non payment Of rent. Vice President
Wickes Of the company said to-day that
the new employees must have houses,
and most Of the Pullman dwellings are
occupied by strikers. Some sort Of
action will be taken Rt cnce.
The announcement created great Ox-
citement among the strikers, az the men
had believed the company would not
dare to take radical measures. AZ to
when the evictionB would begin, Mr..
Wiokes refused 10 say.

O.. '....i:5 : LAL STATE PAPER.

civil bill has already been largely dis
posed Of, and it is not probable much
more time will be spent upon it. The
conference committee on the general
deficiency bill has been in session all
day Notwithstanding it ls Sunday, and
1t was bellved IL would be in shape for
early presentation to both houses.
If, therefore, the house should decide
to accept the senate amendments to the
tariff bill, the senate could be prepared
to suspend proceedings on almost any
day after Tuesday. If the house should
decide upon the opposite course there is
no saying what might happen in the
senate. The tariff is engrosaing the at
tention of the house, and it has so Far no
program whatever for the week.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, AUGUST Is, 1894.

Debs, president of the A. R, u, says:
"Here we have proof which is moon
trovertible that the Santa F'e railroad
has stolen million dollars from the
people in violation Of the interstate com.
merOe law. I want to know why the
officials Of that corporation are not pros
ecutsdG l want to serve notice on the
officials who are prosecuting the railroad

Fe has systematically violated that law.

the other Violstors Of the law. / sm for
law and order and / insist that the law
shall be enforced without respect to
persons.
81 was confronted in the United States
court by lawyers from the Santa Fs who
were there to try to send me to the peni-
tentiary. Turn about ia fair play. I'm.
less the laws are enforced against rich
and poor alike l should like to know
how the people can be expected to re-
speCt the law. IL | have violated the
interstate commerce law / am willing to
pay the penalty, but insist that the
law be enRorcd against all who have
violated it. / have said, and repeat it,
under the present administration the
judicial net is set to catch minnOws and
lot the whales get away. Is it not no.
toriously true that the railroads have
violated every provision Of the interstate
commerce law? But you have not heard
OF anyone being punished for it, have
youI No, it is only when some smploye
OF o railroad stumbleS over q rye straw
that you hear of the law being triumph
sntly Vindicated."
"THoU SHALT NOT STEAL"
The Chicago Times Of the 10Th makes
q few remarks, not forgetting to score
Attorney General Olney, for whom
nearly everybody now seems to have the
most cordial contempt, It ssys:
every day or so those inquisitive
stockholders keep discovering q million
or two lost, stolen or strsyed in the &C
counts OF the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad. Now it is 7 million dollars,
9 mere bRgatelle Of millions, which has
been paid out in rebates contrary to law;
now it is q tri1ing sum Of 2 million dol
lars, Of which no account can be found
upon the books. So instructive Just
now, when the railroad managers are
standing very still and straight, with
their eyes trained on the little Olney In
the cabinet, to have their pictures taken
Rs the upholders of law and order, as the
triumphant bene6ciaries Of government
protection. Really President ReinhRrt
OF the Santa Fe is q careless sort Of Hel-
low to jeopardize so valuable q negative.
It is most embarrassing to the railroad
managers, with q new stock Of aureoles
on hand, to have the public's attention
diverted from their stained-glass atH-
tudes to what looks like q plain, vulgar
case OF theft on the part Of some Of their
COAtta'Isd on page u.

The Shady Transactions Of the Santa Fe
officials Recently Brought To Light,
-OrOOkedneSs Protected by
the Courts.

When the Atehison, Topeka and
Santa Fe system Of railroads went into
insolvency last December, Judge CSld-
we'll, Of the United States court, sp-
pointed as receivers J. w. Reinhsrt, j.
j. McCook and j. G. Wilson. The first
named was president Of the AtChison
road, the second director, and the third
is pct Of General Attorney Peck. The
appointments were dictated by the
Union Trust company Of New York,
which represented English and Ameri-
can bondholdsrs to the extent Of 130
million dollars.
For some months recently a "protec-
tive reorganization committee" selected
by the security holders has been at work
trying to get the affairs OF the CompR-
mics In shape to take the property out Of
the courts hands and incidentally ont
Of the hands Of the old stockholders
who did not own mortgage securities.
In doing this their expert accountants
made q thorough examination Of the
company books, and the report Of Sts'
phen Little, the chief accountant, shows
q discrepacy Of 81, 800 In President
Reinhsrt's last statement, az to-the in
come Of the Atchison and Frisco roads.
or this amount $3,9O6,656 is shown to
be rebate to shippers, in violation Of the
interstate commerce law. The remain.
der Of the discrepancy occurs in the op.
Grating expense and improvement &C.
counts. The accountants report does
not pretend to show that any Of the
funds were appropriated to private use,
but that the accounts were fRlsifOd for
the purpose Of deceiVing the court and
stockholders, there is little doubt.
Mr.. Little's report was made public
August 9, but President Reinhart had
been advised OF its contents before that,
for on August he rendered his EssignR-
tion az president, still holding to his
reCeiverShip. The organization commit
tee requested that Rsinhsrt and MCCOok
both be removed from the recelvership
on account of their unftness for the po-
Aition.
THEY LIVED IN GLASS HOUSES.
All this coming 30 closely on the heels
OF the recent labor trouble in which
these officials stood together with their
co-conspirators to uphold the law" ct
the expense Of their employees interests
has caused intense feeling. Eugene v.

Adjournment Near at Hand.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-To-dsy the
house, by vote Of 176 to 81 decided to
reCede from it's disagreement to the
senate amendments to the Wilson tariff
bill. The vote was on q resolution from
the rules committee providing for the
passage Of the bill as amended.
The main features Of the bill are:
Duty on raw sugars, 40 per cent Gd Oa-
IOrem; refined sugars, "a per cent sddi-
tionRl; sugar produced in bounty. paying
countries ITO per cont additional. Iron
ore, 40 cents ton; pig iron "a o ton;
iron or steel rails $40 ton; bitumin-
Gus coal, 10 cents ton, logs and lumber,
free; whiskey, 81 10 per gallon and the
bonded period extended from three
to eight years. An income tax of 2 per
cent on incomes above $4,000 il pro-
Vided for, also tax on corporations Of
2 per cent.
THE END IS NEAR.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The hope 10
general about the senate that the pres
ent will be the last week Of the session.
This is based upon the belief that the
tariff bill will be disposed Of in some
way early in the week, and with the
tariff out Of the way final adjournment
can be brought about almost any time.
None OF the appropriation bills with the
exception Of the sundry civil and gen.
ersl deficiency bill are yet to be acted
upon to any extent by either house and
these two are in such advanced stage in
conference that day Of Jealous work
would probably suffice to put them both
in shape TO be sent to the president.
The Chinese treaty is the only other
business that would hold congress for
day, and this is also in condition to bo
taken up and voted upon at to-morrow's
session. When the senate adjourned
on Friday, after giving the greater part
Of the day to the treaty, there was an
understanding that the senate would 60
into executive session on Monday imme-
diately after the reading OF the journal
to take the vote upon the treaty. ItWRs
also agreed this should be done without
further debate.
The order Of business for tomorrow,
presumably after the treaty shall have
been passed upon, will be Senator Chan
dler's resolution for the investigation Of
the Alabama elections. After that sll Ii
uncertain and there is no prearranged
program for the entire week. Almost
everything will depend upon the action
of the house on the tariff bill, but what
ever that action may bs it can be counted
upon as quite certain the two remaining
appropriation bills win receive final at
ten tion some time during the week.
