To Overthrow the Emperor.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-The Geehing, the
Chinese secret society, whose avowed
intention, it is said, is to effect the
overthrow of the present emperor of
China, is being rapidly recruited in
Chicago, and Sunday, September 9, has
been selected for holding a big con-
clave here. Prominent Cinnamon from
all parts of the country will be here
and it is expected that the order will
at that time decide upon the course to

New members are being secured daily
and the Geehing headquarters on South

limitations. The Initiation includes a
ceremony in which everybody present

General Butler made such pledge,

secretary of the Democratic state cen
trail committee. 1t is understood the
candidates will be nominated in No

THE WHEEL.
Zimmerman, FOuIed BY n Welsh
Rider, Receives Severe Injuries
Reckless Riding FrOwned Upon
in LOndoI


New York, Aug IA letter from
London, under date of August II, says:
A hard fall two or three times a year
is sure to figure in the winnings of a
cyclist who claims prominence on the
track, and A. A. Zimmerman expert
enced his for 1894 on the track at
Herns hill today The champion came
down in the five-rnile international race
by being fouied by tom" James, a
Welsh rider. He was severely cut
about the legs and arms and may not
be able to ride for some time.
For a few moments he lay motionless
where he had fallen, and the 5000 or
10000 spectators directed their atten-
ton from the leaders in the race to the
spot where Zimmerman lay. 1t was in
the final lap just as the squirt was
made for the run home, and the eleven
contestants were in the act of bunch
ing. Harris was in the lead, Wheeler
was riding second ard zimmerman
third. Zimmerman would win. they
all knew it, for they had all tried him
the same week at Birmingham and
only got a second look-in.
Toni James, of England, was more
mindful of his chance for a position
than for the necks of his companions,
and made a rush from the rear,
OSSSu III lACiiI VI
man. and the crash came. 1t was i'm
possible for Zimmerman ITO get out of
the way, for Edwards had crowded
him ON the inside and he could do
nothing but fall 1t was a frightful
plunge into the barbed-wire fence, and
he was only enabled to curl up ball
shape as best he could to protect his
! face. Verheyen, the German rider,
came over Zimmerman, and, striking
on his face, was rendered unconscious.
1t required half an hour to revive him,
and he now lies in bed, with no chance
OF riding again for weeks. Two years
ago, Zimmerman and Verheyen both
came down at the same spot on the
same track, and this time Zimmerman
injured his arm in exactly the same
manner.
| James is now under the ban for his
reckless riding, and the national cy-
cling union is more than likely to- re-
woke his license. Indignation runs
strong against him and his well-known
reckless style of riding is coming in for
great denunciation.
Edwards, of England, won the race,
with Wheeler, of America, second; LOU
vette, of France, third, and Banker, of
| America, fourth. Harris, the English
champion failed Of a place.
| Zimmerman had. earlier in the after
noon, reduced the English record of
a quarter-mile flying start to 80 40 sec
onds, defeating all his competitors by
margins from one second to nearly five.

city late this evening, and at once pro.
ceeded to the legation residence. The
minister will, it is expected, assume the
duties of his office very promptly, as he
hopes to be formally received by the
president before the latter's departure
from the city. In view of the existing
war between China and Japan this for
NAL recognition of his diplomatic office
is absolutely essential to the new minis
ter, as without it he has no official
standing with this government.

been.
Nor the salaries of superIntendents
or foremen?"
mo"
"why?"
Mr.. Pullman said it was not good
policy to reduce the salaries of high
officials. because men of their calibre
were not easily replaced.
Mr. Pullman was then excused, and
Vice-President Wickes called. He re-
hearsed the history of the strike ana
the part he played in it. Mr.. Wickes'
evidence was that mainly coroboratiye
of the statements made by Mr.. Pull
man.
Manager Bryant on the Rack.
Manager Bryant. of the Bank Of
Pullman was called. He was partic-
ular to state that he was not an en-
ployee of the Pullman company, as
the bank was owned by the Pullman
Southern Car company, but he later
admitted that the latter company is
controlled by the palace car company.
Bryant said the capital stock of the
bank was 100000. and in July, 1888, the
deposits amounted to about $65S,00G.
Two thousand four hundred and fifty
depositors were Pullman employees,
their accounts averaging $240. In July,
1894. the deposits amounted to $453,0O0,
with only 1414 employees accounts,
which averaged S170. Witness said the
Pullman workmen were paid in checks.
Each month they were given two
checks. one representing the amount of
rent due. the other the balance of the
wages.
1T is Just a gentle reminder that the
rent is due" suggested Commissioner
Herman.
at is simply for the mems convent
ence," the witness persisted.
! Bryant was rigidly examined as to
the methods of the company in collect
ing back rent.
Mr.. Bryant was asked about the case
of Jennie Curtis, a Pullman employee,
who had claimed that she had been
compelled to pay back rent due. The
witness said the company had not COM
PEELED Miss Curtis to pay the rent, but
admitted that she had done SO.
Denies the Destitution.
Rev. Dr.. c. H. Heaton, of the Church
of the Paternity, of New York, sur
prised the spectators by his testimony.
He asserted that the reports of suf-
fering at Pullman had been grossly eX-
aggerated. He mad visited forty
houses, he said, and found no destitu-
ton and no distress. The men had told
him that they had no real grievance
he declared, and had no real cause for
striking DR.. Heaton did not believe
that compulsory arbitration would pre-
vent strikes, and gave as his reason
that one side of such controversies, the
laboring men, were not responsible and
that any agreement that might be
reached would be liable to be violated
The clergyman said that the proper
method of preventing strikes was re
build up and improve the character Of
the workingman. He had found Pull
man, he said, very satisfactory place
in that regard, as mems characters
there were under good influence.
