WANT QUESTIONS ASKED.
Some of the Queries Howard Puts to the
General Managers.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30-Before the strike
commission today. Mr.. Howard suggested
that the following questions be put to the
general managers, one of whom he sup
posed would lake the stand this after
noon.
Did the strike at any time interfere TO
prevent you carrying mails, if Pullman
cars were not attached to the same train ?"
could you not at all times have trans
ported the mails without interruption If
you had not insisted upon attaching Pull
man cars to the same train?"
"Was your contract with the govern
ment to transport mails any less binding
upon you than your contract with the
Pullman company, or was one contract in
any sense made dependent upon the
other?''
Did your company have a contract
with the government to transport the
mails?"
WAS your contract dependent upon
your ability To transport Pullman cars :"
Did your contract with the Pullman
company provide that you should not
carry the mails unless you took Pullman
cars on the same train?"
Commissioner Herman did not know
tunity to put tine questions, but they were
allowed to go on record.
Howard also desired an Investigation or
Pullman's reported statement that the
general managers had threatened TO boy
colt him If be consented 20 arblCTate with
the American Railway union. He further
said the union would show by the testl-
mony of N iyor Hopkins that the American
Railway union had been more active than
the general managers IN securing the ar
Fest of people engaged IN violence.
Mayor Hopkins testified at some length
regarding the attitude Of the police during
the strike He declared they had done
their duty at all TIMES. He acknowledged
he was in sympathy with the strikers and
against Pullman, a. he had been an EN-
ploye of the road and kaew what trav-
eler had to endure.
Upon the matter of the message of L. Y.
Debs 10 the General Managers assocIa-
ton, the mayor said: July -, Mr.. Debs,
X. u, called and presented a
communication to the railroad managers
asking me TO take it over, They asked
that all men be taken back, not as mem
beTs of the a. Il. L. but as individuals,
except those who had committed violence
in the strike. When / got there the board
had adjourned and l handed it to Mr..
st. John. Mr.. St. John informed me they
did not desire TO receive any con- muulca-
ton from that source, but would receive it
in view of the fact the Mayor of Chicago
brought it. ! say this in regard TO MIR.
Egan. The papers quoted him AS saying
that If he was mayor he would not allow
himself to be made a messenger boy. L
want to say most emphatically that Mr..
Egan never said il, AMI | do not think L
would have allowed him to say il"

DENVER, Aug. 30-The hearing Of the
case against Governor Waite and others,
charging conspiracy in OBTAINING letters
intended for ex-Police Matron Sadie III.
Likens, was begun before United States
Commissioner Hinsdale today. The de-
PENDANTS, except Governor Waite, were ar
raigned, aud they pleaded not guilty, as
the governor bai previously done. Cover
nor Waite was IN court all day.
Ex-Matrou Likens testified that the
reason given her by the police board for
her dismissal was ECONOMY" No oppor-
tunity was ever given her to explain the
letter from Jesse Parr. She considered
PARIS letter in answer to the advertise
ment of Mrs. Ellen Harmon for a situa-
ton rs cook or nousekeeper as private and
not official business.
Mrs LikenS was asked TO what party
she belonged. Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Sales, who appeared for the de-
PENDANTS, objected. Mr.. johnson thereup-
on declared: 81 expect to show that ell the
defendants are members of the Populist
party; hat the witness Is member OF the
Republican, and that every effort was
made to get her out of Office. l expect to
show that, although this letter WAS adj
dressed on the note To Mrs. Likens, it was
detained from her, was carried to the
president OF the board, and was announced
By him that it was the evidence upon
which he could receive this witness. The
court sustained Mr.. Sales objection.
Jesse Parr, who wrote the letter, testified
that he did not intend it for
any of the defendants, but for
Ef-s,, alr
formerly housekeeper for Matron Dwyer,
testified that Miss Dwyer over year ago,
in her presence, told Governor Wales
private secretary she would have Mrs.
Llkens' place If il took her year To get 1t.
Mrs. trincke testified that Miss Dwyer
discharged her because she refused to take
a letter from Mrs. LIkens' desk.
Friends of Mrs. Likens testified that
Matron Dwyer gave them to understand
that Mrs. Likens was removed because
she was engaged in All immoral business.
Police Commissioners Barnes saiu Presl-
deHt Mullins produced the Parr letter be-
fore tue board, anu declared it proved her
an improper person for the office of ma
iron. Barnes replied that the letter con-
tanned nothing derogatory to Mrs. Likens.
Sine was never notified to appear in regard
TO the matter.
Mr.. JJhnson put in evidence President
Mullins letter to the Rocky Mountain
News in whieh he announced: " Should
the very ardent defenders of Mrs. Llkens
desire further information as to the res-
sons why Mrs. Likens was chosen the
one to be sacrificed to reduce expenses Ia
the department, they can gain such inior-
nation by calling on the fire and police
board, who are reluctant TO submit these
matters TO the public press"
Mr.. Mullins denied having written that
portion of the letter quoted, but acknow-
lodged having attached his signature TO il.
\ few more witnesses were examined
but gave unimportant testimony, alter
which the hearing was continued until to-
morrow morning when Governor Waite
Will take the stand.
Governor Waite's appearance and con-
duct through the day was that OF man
at peace with the world.

EXPENSIVE HEADGEAR.
Some Interesting Facts About Their Co.'S
and Manufacture.

and Manufacture.
Considering its size and the use to
which it is put, the most expensive ar
ticle of summer wear is the Panama
hat. Some men spend their money to
keep up with the styles and some for
comfort. but the man who buys Pam
anna hat probably does so Just because
he loves to spend money. A well
known Fourth avenue halter said that
he could see no other reason. 1t cou.d
not be for style. because they are not
stylish: nor could it be for comfort, be-
cause they are the warmest hats that a
man ever wore on his head, at least IN
this climate.
They are much warmer than stif

straw hat is warmer than 4 Derby, but
the Panama. which one might expect
to be the coolest, leads the list
They cost from fifteen to seventy-fiye
dollars each. The demand has been
for one dollar and half hats. In two
or three sho'S windows a Panama hat
may be seen displayed, but they have
been in stock several years One thing
about them is that they do not grow
much worse with age, and one that has
been IN stock five or six years is vet

BAKER MAY BE JUDGED.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3o.-The state de-
psrtment has received 40 advices from
Minister Baker IN reference to the arrest
OF two American citizens az Bluefelds.
Three dispatches have been sent hun by
the department, the first notifying him.
before the report Of the arrest had been
received, and the second on Wednesday
morning, giving him instructions. The
instructions are intended 10 cover all con-
tingencieS, snd give the minister author
ity TO take any action which may protect
Americans. 1t is stated ut the department
that there Is no necessity 10 supplement
these instructions by anything more. as
Mr.. Baker has full power under those
already sent
Secretary Gresham is at a loss to under
stand why nothing has been received from
Mr.. Baker. and 4 third dispatch has been
sent TO the minister with full report OF
the affair. and what acJlou has been taken
Ii has been lntimated Very strongly to
the department that the arrests seem e.
have been unjustifiable, and the reports
thus far received, though very meacre
confirm this view. His response i ex-
pected very soon.
