AID FOR PULLMAN.
Governor .Altgeld Calls for Relief for
Destitute Strikers.


Destitute Strikers.
CHICAGO. Aug. 23 Governor Alt
geld has issued the following procla-
nation:
To the People of the State of Illinois,
and Especially Those of the City of
Chicago.
There is great distress growing out
of the want of food in and around the
town of Pullman. More than 900
families, or in the neighborhood of
5000 people are utterly destitute
nearly four rfifths of them are women
and children. The men have endeav-
ored to get work, but were unable to
do SO. As rule the men are super
ior class of aborerS-industriou and
steady and some of them have worked
for the Pullman company more than
ten years. Those who have been
given work can get food, but are still
in such an impoverished condition
that they cannot help their neigh bors
if they would. The relief society is
unable to get more supplies. On last
Saturday 1T gave to each family two
pounds of Oat meal and two pounds of
corn meal, and having nothing left il
suspended operations, leaving the
people in an absolutely helpless con
dltlon The county commissioners of
Cook county, as oyerScers of the poor,
have rendered some assistance, but
owing 10 tho limited appropria tion
they can furnish relief but for short
time.
We can not now stop 10 inquire the
cause of this distress. The good peo-
pie of this state cannot allow women
and children by the hundred to perish
of hunger. /, therefore cali upon all
humane and eharitably disposed citi-
zens to contribute what they can
toward giving relief of these people.
The governor has also called on the
commissioners of Cook county to do a IL
IN their power in the matter.

HAS A PULLMAN PASS.
Labor Commissioner Wright Frankly Adj
mits That He Has One.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-United States
Labor Commissioner Carroll ID. Wright,
chairman of the special labor COM
mission appointed by President Cleve-
land to investigate the Pullman
strike, was interviewed as to a report
that he was in the habit of using a
Pullman pass. He scarcely gave the
reporter time TO finish his question.
Yes, / have an annual pass on all
Pullman cars" said he with emphasis,
''and | use il whenever | want to.
The pass was given me by Mr.. Pull
man, who is personal friend of
mine, and | have had it for several
years-ever since the first Pullman
investigation | made--for ! suppose
that's what you are driving at. l
never knew Mr. Pullman until that
time, and he has been warm friend
of mine ever since. He gave me
passes and invited me to ride on his
cars whenever wanted toAjust as a
man would invite another to take "a
ride in his carriage"
Commissioner Wright's pass entities
him TO ride free in any Pullman car
at any time in any part of the United
States.

WOOL IN BOND.
Secretary Carlisle Explains the Tarin Rin
to I hiladeIphian.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-James W.
Tattersfield of Miller & Tattersfeld,
importers and dealers in wool in Phil
adelphia, had an interview with Sec.
rotary Carlisle regarding the con-
struction to be placed on the new ta--
itf bill as TO goods in bond The par
ticular question which Mr. Tatters-
field desired to have settled was
whether wool now in bond could he
withdrawn without payment of duty
when the tariff act placing it on the
free list became law Mr.. Carlisle
explained the wording of the enacting
clause of the new tariff bill was such
that there could be but one construc-
tion placed upon it, and that was that
all wool while in bond to avoid the
payment of duty, would have to be
exported and again imported. A
statement prepared at the bureau of
statistics shows that on July 1, 1894
there were approximately 63, :99, 321
poundssof wool in bond, valued at
S7,519,622.

SANTA FE STRIKERS.
Receiver Wilson Promises to Interced
for I heir Reinstatement

Tor lheir Reinstatement.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 25.-Maior
Calvin Hood, who came here from
Emporia in behalf of the Santa Fe
strikers of this section of the state,
had conference with Receiver Will
son of the system, the result of which
was that Mr.. Wilson promised that,
United States Circuit Judge Caldwell
asserting, all men who had not been
active in the strike would be taken
back into the service of the company.
About the beginning of the strike
Judge Caldwell issued positive order
that all men who left the employ of
the Santa Fe company should be dis
charged and not reinstated. This has
up to this time been vigorously en-
forced by General Manager FREY.
The receivers will now apply to the
Judge for the abrogation of the order,
and, as it is the general feeling that
the strikers have been sufficiently
punished, the judge will undoubtedly
take the desired action. This will
mean work for several hundred good
men who had been misled by Debs and
their local leaders
