NO. 16,4s1.

Every days delay is injurious to the
business interests of the country, and ths
bill should be disposed of at once one
way or the other. 1t has now been under
consideration III conference COMMITTEES
for over a month, and further delay Is abb
solutely inexcusable.
''The conferrees ought to know each
others minds by this time, and if they
can't agree the fact of such disagreement
should be reported to the two houses,
when, if no understanding can be reached
on bill, Congress should promptly adj
journ and give the country rest We
have now been in session for nearly a
whole year, and have had ample oppor-
tunity TO legislate. A Senator or mem ber
who does not know exactly what he
wants to do on the tariff question after all
the time spent in useless deliberation is
unfit to represent any constituency.
1--WE have deliberated euough-we want
action. Congress must arouse from its
lethargy, and should act in accordance
with thr public sentiment, and not in de-
tiance OF it. Either pass the tariff bill at
once, or adjourn and go home. These ar Q
my sentiments, and believe they are the
sentiments of nine-tenths of the people
OF both parties"

The taint of the association of witness
Lesher was upon the prosecution, and the
power that put him upon the stand and
then lied from him was under cloud OF
suspicion that hung over their whole case.
General Hart went into a careful analy-
sis of the testimony of the boy Sherburn.
lie read from the court reporters tram
script of the boys testimony that he had
sworn that the party he drove to the
scene of the wreck were gone from the
rig about ten minutes.
Counsel contended that the absurdity
of the story was its own refutation.
s"The prosecution asked the court to be-
lieve that within that ten minutes two
fishplates, with six bolts in each, were
removed and lot of spikes withdrawn.
With the tools alleged they had it was a
physical impossibility to do this thing.
The manner in which the Sherburn boy
had been kept under military guard.
denying the defense any. opportunity
out of court to question him. was
violation of all principles OF Ameri-
can justice, which contemplated that
free and unfettered. Counsel is not sur
prised that the boy had been brought
here by a United States Marshal; that a
Southern Pacific detective ate with him
and slept with him, for his story was so
wholly improbable that it would not
stand the contact with the world that
ordinarily all honest testimony fearlessly
endGres."
When court adjourned General Hart
was closing strong appeal to the court
to remember "the unusual means, the
powerful interests that were backing this
prosecution"

PORTLAND. Aug. 1O.-Under date of
Boston, August Sth, the following dis
patch was received here:
"A man about 65 years old, who is
booked at police headquarters as Andrew
G.. Highton, was arrested to-day for pass
ing worthless checks. Highton tells
some conflicting stories, among them
that ne belongs to Portland. Or, Denver,
Col, and Baker City, Or. He says he is
a one-fifth owner of the Ornament and
Surprise mine, on Greenhorn Mountain,
Grant County, Or, and is in Boston to Sc
cure capital with which to work the mine.
The police think their prisoner. is ain
oId-time forger and spurious check ut
terer. Highton called at the National
City Bank and offered for deposit draft
for S15, 900 drawn on n. Clarnel of Seattle,
Wash, who, he says. is one-half owner
in the mine. When he presented the
draft he told the Cashier that ne did not
want it collected until the last of the
month. The bank promised to accom-
mod&1e him in this respect, and in
formed him that he would not be given,
any money until the bank had sent the
draft West for collection"
About three months ago Highton came
to Portland. He bonded the Ornament
and Surprise mines in Grant County,
and went to Colorado, by way of San,
Francisco, TO secure twenty-stamp mill
to put on the mine. He claimed TO be
brother of United States District Attor-5
ney Highton of California.

PULLMAN TENANTS.

Vice-PreSident Wickes Says They VIII
be Evicted.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-The Post prints the
following from Pullman: Pullman's ten-
ants will be evicted. Vice President
Wickes said so to-day. The company
claims that it must find homes for its new
employees to live in, and as the strikers
have been camping in the Pullman flats
without paying cent of rent for the last
three months, they must get ont. This
move is the very last in the great strike,
and it will forever discomfit the employees.
The company's houses cover about 5000
people at present. These 5000 consist of
the striking workmen and their families.
There are about 1000 new men in the
shops that have families, and that desire
to live near the works. The old en-
ployes must make way for the new men.
"Will the company evict the tenants?"
Mr.. Wickes was asked to-day.
something OF that kind must be
done.n he replied. I'VE must find quar-
ters for our new employees
Have you taken any actual steps in
the matter YETI"
mo, not yet; but we will soon."
"When ?'
ST can not say exactly when, but very
soon."
Mr.. Wickes spoke in manner from
which one might gather that the lawyers
were already looking around and would
be prepared at any minute to go ahead
with the work of eviction.
"Will it not be troublesome process?u
"Oh, l don't know. / suppose it can
be done easily enough. 1t must be done
anyhow"
The eviction is the very last thing the
people have looked for. One woman on
Fulton street said: surely they will not
put us out. Where would we go? We
have no money to buy a bushel of coal.
public will not stand by and see thou
sand families rendered homeless"
But that is undoubtedly what must be
take decisive action. The outlook for the
present population of the model town is
not full of cheer. In fact it is desperate.
George NJ. Pullman is back from Castle
Rest, Newport, but declines to be inter-
viewed. His home IS still guarded by
private watchmen, who lounge around
the lawn and keep watch on anyone who
stops to glance at the abiding place of the
President of the S36,000.000 corporation.
Vice-President Wickes, the trusted Lieu
tenant of the Marquis, and General Man
ager Brown of the Pullman works, called
at the Prarie-avenue mansion. They
were recognized by the watchmen and
were soon inside in conference with their
chief for several hours discussing the
situation at the shops and formulating
plans for the future. 1t is presumed that
action Will be determined for evicting the
strikers from the company's houses.

Three well-dressed men are known to
have left a north bound freight train near
the bridge late Thursday afternoon and
taken a south-bound train later in the
evening, the last train to pass safely
over the structure being the one they
boarded. The detectives are looking for
them.
Harry Foote. the injured brakeman. is
the one who advances the theory that the
train was maliciously wrecked. Accord
ing TO his story rail was removed on the
bridge and the fishplates and crowba
were found in the grass near by. The
evidences were plainly there and unmls-
taxable. Marks made by wrench on a
loosened rail were3plainly visible, and the
marks OF the crowbar on the crossties
were there so plain that no lantern was
needed to examine them. The wood OF
the ties was deeply dented where the
crowbar had been inserted, and the rails
lifted clear off the ties. and the spikes
which had been pulled out were lying
loose on the bridge.
Late tonight tue remains of Andrew
Hansen, a farmer OF Mcpherson County,
Neb, were identified by watch found
lying in the midst of the human bones.
All of those mentioned by name in the
list of killed have been recovered.

asked to be driven to town. He had been
on the train and lost his coat. He was

The police say they have evidence suffi-
cient to convict him. His motive is not

head-on collision about fifteen miles from
this city at noon to-day. Engineer L. M.

man, +. Martin, was so seriously injured
that he is expected to die, and both en-
gines were badly smashed up. The acci-
dent was the result of a lap order given
by an old and trusted dispatcher. The
East t-bound train consisted of fifteen cars
of lumber and shingles, and the West
bound of eightyfive dumps of coal.
Many of the cars were piled up. The ac-
cident occurred ON curve. Both en-
gineers and firemen jumped. Harmon
broke his neck in so doing. The dis
patcher on whose orders the two trains
came together was Frederick S. Rawlins,
who has worked here over year. He
was relieved from duty immediately.

Arrest In Connection With the Oak
land Dynamite Outrage.
OAKLAND, Aug. 10.-The police have a
man in custody whom they think is the
one who placed the dynamite cartridge
on the Seventh-street track during the
strike. causing an explosion that badly
damaged the engine. The man was ar
rested at Walnut Creek, Contra Costa
County. and gives the name of George
Nottingham.
The police claim that he was in this city
on the night of the explosion, and after it
occurred was heard to remark that he had
done the work, and if he had had more
dynamite he would have done a better
job. The complaint against him is sworn
TO by Olaf Larsen of West Oakland. He
was arr9igned in the Police Court this
morning, and the Judge refused to admit
him to bail. His preliminary examina-
tion was set for next Tuesday. The police
claim that he admitted to them that he
had put the dynamite on the track, but
did it only for joke, and did not think
that it would do any damage.
