ant r. F. Bowman, left this morning
! for Sacramento, where they will be
joined by Captain Niheii, now en-

Woodland, Cal, June 10, T
preliminary examination of TIE &C
cused train wreckers was rosum ed
here this morning. The Court re-
considered its decision of yesterday
and held that Knox, Mullen, Hatch
and Compton,, the accused members
of the strikers Neditatatjon Comm
ittee must be examined toGather.
The case of Worden was continued
until Monday.
Johnny Sherbourne, the boy who
drove Worden and the FIVE men to
the scene of the wreck, was the first
witness. His testimony was very
damaging. The boy told of the men

the wreck.
The climax came, however, when
he testified that the day following
the wreck the liveryman who en-
ploys him gave him bill for the rig
and sent him to Worden, The latter
took him direct to the office of the
strikers Mediation Committee and
there the bill WAS paid without ques.
ton. The boy was still on the stand
when the court adjourned for the
| noon recess.
Chicago, July 10 -Debs' mani
festo, resulting in Overton's edict
warning the railroad men at the

branded as scabs, seemed to have
little effect. Railroad employees re-
turned to work today as usual. The
stock yard company will endeavor to
obtain protection for its men out of
working hours by lodging them in
their buildipps. Workinrmen are
frequently beaten by strikers.

SENATOR ROGER Q. MILLS.

Closes the General Debate in the Senate
 on the Tariff Bil1-Wbile Not Such a
 Measure He Could Have Desired. He
 Would Support IL Cordially-He Insisted
 that the Bill Must Be Passed and the
 Continual Agitation of the Tariff Dues
 tion Stopped.
 WASHINGTON, April 24.-In the senate to- day at p. m the debate on the tarif bill was resumed and Mir. Mills closed the general de- bate" on the democratic side in support of the bill. The pending bill, he said, did not meet his entire approval, and he doubted if it met the entire approval of any gentleman on his side of the chamber But 1t was lt should have his cordial support If he had been chosen to construct the bill. and had the forty four democratic senators.been in perfect accord with his views, he would have constructed 1t on very different lines He would not have left coffee and tea op the free list and taxed woolen and cotton goods or the manufactures of iron and steel He would have put tax on coffee, tea and sugar. Why: Because that would carry out the democratic principle of obtaining the revenues of the government with the least possible burden to the tax pay CTS. His republican friends had put duties on cotton goods and woolen goods and on iron and steel, because in that way. while raising reve- nues for the government, four or five times ns much went to the favored classes.

SENATOR PETERS BILL

To Discourage the Holding of Idle Lands
 in tho District of Coiumbia-It is Prac-
 tically a Measure In the Line of the
 Single Tax Idea.
 WASHINGTON. April 25-'Senator Peffer's latest bill is entitled: "A Bill To Dispose Of Idle Labor And Discour- age Idle Wealth In The District Of Co., lumbia."
 The whereases declare that it is de- sira to employ idle labor. advance the rate of wages bring homes within easier reach of the homeless, reduce rent and interest: keep vacant land from advancing in prices; to avoid the ,upport of the destitute by charity; to make public improvements without taxing anything but the profits de- rived from gambling in land values and holding wealth in idleness
 These premises supposed to be true, the bill to. be enacted provides that there shall be levied on all idle land subject to taxation in the district a special annual tax equal to the increase in the market value of such land dur ing the preceding year; such revenues to be appropriated to the employment of the idle citizens of the district in the construction and management of such public works as congress may from time to time direct.
