"If know that q man was not true to
this company, and if | find out that hs
has got job anywhere. will pursue
him snd use my best efforts to get him
discharged"
The men referred to. of course, are A.
R. u. men, who took 3 prominent part
in the recent strike on the Southern
Pacific system. The interview pro.
voked a storm OF adverse criticism,
which was mainly directed at the South
ern Pacific, for there were many who
charged that Mr.. Fillmore had spoken
with authority. G. P. Huntington,
president of the company, has written
letter from New York, in which he posi-
lively declares that Mr.. Fillmore's re.
ported policy is not the policy OF the
Southern Pacific company. The letter
follows:
SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT,
90 BROAD ST., New York, Aug. 21.
Mr.. II. E. Huntington, San Francisco:
Ny DEAR SIR Il notice in the papers
some remarks said to have been made
NY in p0Cb W eoiho Va
those who went out in the late strike
that he would endeavor to prevent their
getting work else where, etc. have not
tho article before me, but quote from
recollection.
1 can hardly believe that Mr.. Fillmore
said this. II he did, think he was all
wrong. We. OF course, owe it to our
selves and the patrons OF the road to re-
fuse to take back men who DESTROYED
any of our property or made any effort
to prevent others from taking their
places, thus preventing the operation OF
the road, not only for the benefit OF the
company, but for the accommodation OF
the many people who use the road, par
ticularly those who had perishable prop
erty that needed celebrity of movement to
save it from total loss. But when we
have done that, that is, refuse to take
them back. we have done our part to-
ests of those who need the
road TO take their stuffs to
market. After we have refused
to take them back, think we should
let them get places elsew where. if it could
be done without injury to the public.
and it is not our business to follow them,
but when they 20, wish them well. In
fact, / never should refuse a man work,
even my woret enemy, without regret,
as anyone that comes to me for work
whereby to support himself and family
shall have il unless there is some very
serious reason why | cannot do 80, and
as have said, should then almost re-
gret to refuse him.
/ hope our people will consider these
things carefully and bear in mind that
in handling the great interests that we
are caring for. it is not enough to look
out for the rights OF the company, bur
also for the rights of overy member OF
the community in which we are work
ing and where our influence is felt.
Yours truly,
G, Z. HUNTINGTON.

DRAGGED TO DEATH.
Sad Death of q Chinaman's Wife at
COurtland, Cal.

Sad Death of q Chinaman's Wife at
Courtlaod, Cal.
SACRAMENTO, Aug. N.-A runaway &C.
cident, horrible in its results, occurred
at Courtland yesterday morning. The
head Chinaman OF William Johnson's
ranch, down the river. was driving down
the road in cart, accompanied by his
Mongolian wife. The horse took fright
at some object in the road and dashed
through Courtland.
The woman was frantic with fear and
tried to jump out of the cart. As she
Was in the act of doing so her clothing
caught in the wheels and she was
pulled to the ground. The horse
dashed wildly On and the poor woman
was dragged quite distance. When
she was picked up she presented shock
ing sight. Literally a portion OF her
body was torn to shreds. Her legs had
almost been severed from the trunk.
A Sacramentan who WAS standing near
the scene of the accident describes the
matter -of-fact way In which the woman
was treated. She was taken to house
in the Chinese settlement near Court
land and laid fat on hard board on Il Q
floor, with nothing but sack on whic
to lay her head. There she tossed d

Judge Worthington wanted to know
wherein it was wrong to take the money

to take contracts at loss, or take the
stock holders money to keep the plant

COAL CONFERENCE A FAILURE.
The Trouble In the Trade, However, More
Apparent Than Real.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, May 1.-THE
great conference between the representa-
tives of 200 900 striking miners and opera
tors representing every coal-mining dis
trict In the United States has ended In
failure. The two parties camc together.
discussed the condition of the mining
trade IN all Its bearings, found their
differences irreconclable, and will de-
part for their homes tomorrow, leaving
the situation at the mines In apparently
the same condition Of suspense that they
were before the conference was called.
But that condition is. In fact, more ap-
parent than real. One of the most promi-
nent operators in the Pittsburg district
said tonight that within the week
the miners would be at work,
and that they would receive prac-
tically the scale of wages for which
they have been contending in the confer
ence that has just adjourned
The Conference Committee of miners
and operators reported to the joint con-
vention this morning their inability to
agree. and the time until noon was spent
| in experimenting without any apparent
effect The presidents offer was 20 cents
in Pennsylvania, and GO cents In Ohio.
while the miners held for 20 and Is cents
Finally Colonel Rend, Of Chicago, urged
both sides TO make concessions proposing
| a compromise OF GO and 60 cents. His re-
marks were applauded by both miners
and operators. An adjournment was
taken until ESQ p. NJ.
When the conference reassembed In
the afternoon the experimenting was con-
tinued. Mr.. Chapman. Of Pittsburg. spoke
for the operators and MIR. Patrick Nc
Bryde and John Cakins for the miners.
Then President Mcbride of the Miners
tors TO retire from the hall I'm order that
the miners might hold a conference. This
was done. and conference lasting an
hour was held. At its conclusion. Presi-
dent Mcbride offered a resolution recit
ing that whereas large number OF
operators had refused to attend the
the conference and refused the hand OF
reconciliation and peace which had been
extended to them, the miners believed
that any settlement arrived at I'm the
absence of these operators would only
add to and accentuate the miserable con-
dition OF the miners, and that II was i'm
possible TO make any settlement with
the operators who had met them. While
approaching the efforts of the operators
present to reach settlement. the miners
asked their cooperation In bringing peace
able and persuasive pressure TO bear
upon the absent operators to induce them
TO agree to terms with the miners
These resolutions were offered the con-
ference as expressing the views Of the
miners and as there seemed nothing more
TO do. the conference adjourned sine die.

wealth should dictate its legislation.

concentrated wealth of the land reaps a
harvest from the taxing of the unprivi-

this republic depends upon the purity OF
elections and obedience TO the will of the
majority.
I'VE hereby renew our unqualified en-
