Mechanics and Laborers Temporarily Sus.
pended, But Won't Lose Their Places.
Secretary Herbert's decision that there is
no warrant of law for continuing in active
employment persons retained under the ap-
preparation for new naval construction took
the form of the following telegram, addressed
to the commandants OF all navy yards and
the naval superintendents at all private works
where naval construction ia going on:
"The employment Of all mechanics and
laborers under the appropriation, Increase
Of the navy-construction and machinery
will be suspended with this day, the balance

their payment. Draughtsmen and the cleri-
cal force paid from such appropriation will
be continued until further orders. Mechanics
and laborers under the above appropriation
will be temporarily suspended. They will
not lose their places If Congress continues

SUGAR TRUST LEGISLATION.

Senator Quay saved the sugar trust re-
verse Yesterday when his vote prevented the
striking out of the one-eighth OF cent per
pound duty on refined sugar.
Heretofore the trust has controlled sugar
legislation in its own way. and notwithstand-
ing the recent scandal has finally succeeded
in forcing its schedule upon the Senate. The
trust now relies on influencing the conference
committee to retain the schedule as the Sem
ate leaves il. and il successful the Democratic
party will be compelled to shoulder a burden
almost as shameful as that which disgraced
the Republican party.
The sugar trust is an offspring Of the Nc
Kinley law, for it was that measure that gave
it strength, influence, and opportunity to
plunder the public. The duty of half cent
per pound on refined sugar, with one-tenth of
a cent per pound in addition 10 bounty-pay-
ing countries, gave the trust sixty cents per
100 pounds protectit H. and made it one OF the
wealthiest robber corporations in the country.
The Senate sugar tariff is about as satisfac-
tory to the trust as the Mckinley tariff, al
though to those not informed it may not seem
SO. The 40 per cent duty on raw sugars, to-
gether with the one-eighth of cent per
pound on refined sugar. with one-tenth of
cent per pound against bounty-paying coun-
tries, really give the trust protection OF
four-tenths of a cent per pound, against six
tenths of cent per pound Of the Mckinley
law. which will practically prohibit the i'm
portation of foreign refined sugars and give
the trust control of our markets. Consumers
know what this means TO them.
Mr.. Byron h. Holt has prepared statement
showing the effect of the sugar schedules of
the Mckinley law, the Senate bill, and the
Wilson bill, respectively, in which he COM
pares their value to the public, and has cal
culated the per cent burden and tax for reve-
nue. purposes.
Per cent. revenue duty on actual imports:
Mckinley law-..-. .OO17

Senate BILL. -.................-39.S SO
Per cent taxation ON sugar used by the
public:
Mckinley law Including bounty. 66
Wilson bill...-.. .OOO1
Senate bill. ....--...-..........--.47.
An examination of the above statement
shows clearly that it is the duty of the con-
ference committee to substitute the Wilson
schedule and strike out all protection for the
sugar ust. The public has never yet enjoyed
the blessing of free sugar, although the Nc
kinney law purported to place sugar on the
free list Restore the Wilson sugar schedule
to the tariff bill, and We will have free sugar

the r. & d. Railroad.
As result Of the judgment of s14, 800,
obtained by Edward German. administrator
of the estate Of Samuel E. German, against
the Richmond and Danville Railroad Com
pany on Saturday last, Mr.. German yesterday
filed petition praying that the order affirm
ing the sale Of the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company to the Southern Railway

Company.
Justice Cox directed an order requiring the
company to show cause on or before July 16
why the petitioners prayers should not be
granted.
Mr., German contends that without such
order the estate has no remedy against the
railroad company.

Chosen to Present Our Claims for
the Great C. F. Convention
II Washington Christian Endeavors do not
secure the convention OF '96 for this city it
won't be the fault of the local preliminary
committee. For nearly year they have been
organized and actively engaged in the work
incident to such great undertaking.
When two OF their members go before the
board OF trustees Of the United Society, in
session in Cleveland, on July IL. to present
the claims of the capital city they will be
backed not only by 5000 Endeavorers of the
District Union. but by many thousands more
in every section OF the country. The prelimi-
nary committees labors practically ended, at
least so far as work in the local societies is
concerned, at their final meeting held in the
Y. NJ. C. A last night.
Chairman Smith presided and final reports
were received from the several subcommittee.
Mr.. Foster, from the hall committee, said the
plans were sufficiently advanced to meet the
demands of the trustees. \
Mr.. Fenwick, of the press committee, re-
ported that great amount of matter relat-
ing to Washington. '96, had been sent to the
different papers and published Mr. Sleman
Of the printing, and Mr.. Shand. from the
finance committee. reported satisfactory pro-
gress.
Mr.. ]. A. Runyan, from the hotel commit
tee. reported that outside Of the hotels there
were accommodations for 81. 900 people, and
that satisfactory rates had been made with all
the hotels. Mr., J. L. Fishback. from the city
committee. reported satisfactory progress.
II was stated during the meeting that the
business mems book. containing the indorse-
ments of 900 merchants. was nearly COM
pleted.
Chairman Smith read the brief which will
be presented to the board of trustees. It
states many reasons why Washington should
have first consideration in the selection of a
convention city.
By unanimous vote Messrs. W. II. II.
Smith and Percy L. Foster were chosen to
present the claims of Washington before the
trustees. and then the committee adjourned
to meet in Cleveland on July II.

STRIKE STATEMENTS CORRECTED.

Nearly the entire daily press of the country
IL inditing editorials unfair to the body OF
workingmen who are at present engaged in
OF just wages. Here are some of their state
ments. Answers are added.
Railway men are maliciously maintaining
this strike to try their own strength. when
they are not concerned in the least" Indeedi
What sort of malicousness is it when men
sacrifice steady jobs to the maintenance OF
4 living rate of wages for other men whom
they haye never seen, and between whom
and themselves there is only the common
bond of toll?
1.-THE organization that started this trouble
should be brought into court, charged with
the results of the violence which it has melted
The American Railway Union has neither
excited nor engendered violence, and has, on
the contrary. continually discountenanced and
discouraged it. The history of all great re-
form movements shows that leaders have
been unable to completely control the free
hooters and foragers on the fianks OF the
rank and file.
''Debs is an ignorant dictator Of the denx-
gogue type" Eugene Debs was borne in
Terre Haute, Ind, worked there at his trade
as car painter, represented his district in
the state legislature, nominated Daniel voo-
hees for the United States Senate. returned to
the ranks of railway laborers, and finally Or
ganized the American Railway Union. His
history shows no traces Of the ignoramus, the
demagogue, or the dictator.
''Sick women and weak children are forced
to wait at side stations until these men at Pull
man get raise in wages" The men at Pull
man don't want raise In wages; they are
after restoration of the old wages. As a
question of equity 1t may be inquired IL the
sick and hungry wives and feeble children of
snderpaid iaboring men are not entitled to as
much consideration as the well-to-do families
who travel in Pullman ears. for the strikers
are perfectly willing to move any other sort
OF railway vehicle
1t is extremely evident that many Of our
xell-fed editors have never worked for Mr.
Pullman or got Into the clutches Of his side-
snap renting agency.
