The Illinois Governor Looking Into the
Pullman DestitutIon.
CHICAGO, Aug. Ex-Governor Alt
geld made a personal Investigation
of several cases of restitution at Pull
man and found that the story of prac-
teal starvation had not been greatly
overdrawn. After investigation the
governor asked Manager Middleton of
the Pullman company if he could sug-
gest any solution to the condition of
restitution and starvation, the exist
ence of which all of the resident Off
Gals had admitted.
THE only thing we can do" was
the answer, lis to put the old men
back as fast as there axe vacancies in
the shops
But this is slow and uncertain, :"
replied Governor A1tgeId, ''and the
question is one of immediate starva-
ton. Can't you put on a few hun
dred of the men and let them alter
nate until this condition of misery is
relieved?"
Mr.. Middleton said he did not see
how the company could change its
present plans.
The governor said it was the first
time he had ever been asked for help
to aid starving men, and he wanted
to think it over

FIGURING ON A BIG CANAL

Vast Benefits Expected to Follow UuioR
of the Ohio and Lake Erie.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 22.-The pro-
visionaI committee appointed to de-
wise ways and means for the construc-
ton of the ship canal between the
Ohio river and Lake Erie met here to-
day.
Colonel T. P. Roberts, engineer of
the Monongahela River navigation
company, asserted that the water
supply tributary to the canal was
four times greater than needed and
could be reached at a cost of 5000, 900.
The cost of the canal would not ex-
ceed $25, 900, 600. 1t would have a ca
pacity of Is, 600, 900 tons per annum-
double the present tonnage of the
railroads covering the same territory.
John E Shaw estimated that the
commercial interests and population
of the territory through which the
canal is to pass would double and the
railroads would really be benefciar,

a Methodist Minister on Punman's
Methods


CHICAGO. aug. zZ.-Tne rev. NJ. L.
Wiclzman, pastor of the Swedish
Methodist church at Pullman, gave
the most sensational testimony yet
evoked against the Pullman Palace
Car company before the federal in
vestigating commission to-day. fWhen
business gets slack he said, 1.-The
company's employees living outside of
Pullman are ordered to move into the
company's houses on peril of losing
their positions. Some of the Iuen
have attempted to buy houses on
the installment plan, but this
is discouraged, as such men
are always the first to be
laid off when the force is reduced.
The men are unfairly treated in va
riOus ways. 1 know of one instance
when man was injured in the shops
and unfair means were taken to
prevent n damage suit The man was
taken to the hospital, and later saw
a sworn statement, purporting to be
signed by him, in which he said the
accident was entirely unavoidable
I know the paper to have been a
forgery, for on the date on which 1t
was made the man was unable to
write aud could not have signed his
name.
One of the worst features of the
Pullman system of house renting is
the immortality which it encourages.
Many of the wOrkmen are compelled
to rent rooms to help out their meager
incomes. The houses are so arranged
that the roomers must pass through
the family sleeping apartments and
as reault the morality of Pullman
is much below that of surrounding
towns. There is no way for the work
ing men to avoid this, as they are
practically compelled to live in the
company's houses"
porter, told OF the overturning of cars
at Pullman. He said that the mob at
that point was composed of outside
men, mainly foreigners, and that
there were no railroad strikers in the
disorderly crowd.
Roy Baker, a Chicago reporter,
called upon for an account of the riot
at Hammond, stated that he was in
the midst of the mob and saw no A.
r. q. men or railroad strikers, the
crowd being made up of toughs and
outsiders. He SAID that shortly be-
fore the United States troops fired, a
small body of men, surrounded by
women, children and other spectators,
attempted to overturn some Pullman
cars. Without warning the troops
fired, killing and wounding several
people, all of whom were innocent
spectators. At no time during the
trouble did he see a railroad man and
a member of the A. r. q. in the mobs,

ALroELD sNURs wIoKEs.

The Governor Refuses Assistance in In
vestigating Pullman Distress.
CHICAGO, Aug. Ex-Governor Alt
geld, in response to an urgent appeal
for state aid, went to Pullman to-day
to investigate the condition of Pull
man strikers. His visit was the re-
suit of communication sent to him
from the strikers stating that 1000
families were on the verge of starva-
ton.
Vice President Wiclzes Of the Pull
man company offered to accompany
the governor at the latter's office and
offered to accompany the executive on
his trip to Pullman. The governor
received Wickes very co1dIy and, in q
manner which was construed as di-
rect snub, informed the latter that he
did not wish to go with him. 81 pre-
fer to go alone he said. II think I
can find my way about the town"
Aid from the city and county will
also be solicited for the strikers.
Three representative men will COM
pose the committee and Chairman
Heathcote will be at its head.

LEADING REPRESENTATIVES
HOLD a CONFERENCE
DISCUSS THE LATE 4. R. U. STRIKE
AN the Men Who Deserted Their Broth.
arhOOds to Join the a. r. O. Strike
Seeking ReadmissiOn to Their
Old OrdeP-YYuI All be Taken
Back on the Promise Not
to Do So Again

CHICAGO, Aug. 21. "A conference
was held here yesterday by repre-
sentatives of the railroad brother
hoods for the discussion of matters
affecting the old organizations as a
result of the work of the A. r. q.
during the recent strike. Among
those present were: Grand Chief F.
P. Sargent and f. w. Arnold of the
Locomotive Firemen, Grand Chief S.
c. Wilkinson, Messrs. Morrisey and
Terrell of the Brotherhood of
Trainmen and T. Y. Powell, grand
chief of the Order of Railway TeIeg-
raphers. An agreement was reached
to endeavOr to secure the reinstate-
ment of the mem bers of the orders
who joined the A. R. O., and, having
since repented Of their course, are APP
plying for membership in their old
lodges.
Mr.. Wilkinson said after the con-
ference many of the men were out of
positions through the strike and had
applied for readmission to the brother
hood, confessing that they had been
swept away by the excitement at
tending the strike and the profuse
promises of the leaders of the A. r.
Q. They now had no jobs and the a.
B. q. was in no financial position to
give them support.
''The Trainmen lost several lodges
by defections to the A. r. u" he
said, ''and applications are being
made for a renewal of the charters of
all of them. We agreed to take the
men back and will do all in our power
to have the railroads lift the boycott
from them, for we are sure the Train
men will not again leave their lodges
under similar circumstances.
THE Order of Railway Telegraph
ers," said Mr.. Powell, was fortunate
in the detection of few of its mem
bers. We lost two Iodges-one at
Helena and the other at Ripon." The
officials of the order left here last
night to effect the reorganization of
the lodges and will make personal
appeals to the various roads to rein
state their men. AS the brotherhoods
stood firm against the strike, the
officials believe the secretary will get
the repentant members back to their
places.

JAPs sLAUoHrER CHINESE
The 8IongoIIan Not In Tt with the
AIIkado's Soldiers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2I.-The Ex-
aminer prints the following special
received by the steamship China:
SHICH-GEN, Corea, Aug. 3. = A
bloody battle has just been fought at
Songhwan where the Chinese have
very strong Notifications and where
1900 troops are said to be stationed.
The japanese were determined to
capture the arms and provisions
and baited the army by
clever bit of intrigue. They
gave out that they were going to
march back to A-San, and in fact they
did parade for a considerable dis
lance in that direction, but no sooner
were they convinced of the success Of
their scheme in making the Chinese
believe they had left the settlement
than they marched with a rush
straight up to the Notifications, at
lacking them in body. They made
a clean sweep of everything in the
course of five hours fighting.
The Chinese were unprepared and
for the sake of truth be it known,
they were s'chin- chinning'' the war
josh-that is bowling. ''kowtowing''
and firing crackers off to a big wood
About 1, 600 Chinese were killed in
the engagement and seventy Japan
csc.
The Chinese, with their usual
cowardice, deserted many of the Fan
Kwai foreign devil officers) and when
given orders to resist the advance of
the enemy turned and fell upon their
own swords, prefering to commit sui
eide rather than be murdered by the
Japanese. The japanese officers and
men fought like tigers.
Some of the methods of warfare
used were rediculously gruesome and
narrowing. For instance, the Chinese,
it is told, used old fashioned stink
pots bowls slung on poles, and filed
with sulphuric and other bad smell
ing, deadly acids, which kill perhap4
more quickly than a rife shot. On4
stink pot cast in among a dozen
soldiers kills every man inside of few
seconds. The Mongols also resorted td
wooden axes and tolong bamboo polesS
Many of them threw their guns away
deliberately when they caught 3
glimpse of the enemy surrounding
them like demon cloud. It is impos-
sible accurately to describe the bar
barities which these people practice in
their methods of war and also in their
penal punishments in times of peace.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Aug. 22.-Co1onel
w c. P. Breckenridge spoke yester-
day afternoon at Georgetown, the
county seat of Scott county, and the
home of Hon W. c. Owens, who is his
most powerful opponent in his terri
bic struggle for reelection. Special
trains were run from all parts of the
district, the Lexington special from
Breczinridge's home taking the 1arg-
est crowd. The speaking took
place in the court room, which
held about 600 people. Colonel Brock
inridge was introduced by John A.
Lewis of Georgetown His address
was an appeal for mercy, in as much
as he had confessed his sins and laid
himself at the feet of his people. He
told how he loved the people of Scott,
but his reference to the late Vice
President Richard NJ. Johnson was so
fresh in the minds of the people there
that his reception was rather cold

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The mana
gers of the congressional national
campaigns are preparing for the fall
campaign with much energy.
Senator Faulkner, at the head of
the Democratic committee, is directing
his efforts toward holding a Demo
cratic majority in the house. Exten-
sive headquarters are in opera
ton with the executive work
in charge of Secretary Law
renee Gardner The work thus
far has been in preparing full stats
ties of districts, writing the campaign
book and circulating documents. The
campaign book is about half com
pleted- 1t will be volume of about
800 pages, showing the work of con-
gress and the reforms claimed to have
been made in the department service.
It viii be furnished to speakers as
text book for their efforts on the
stump. The statistics gathered are
the most elaborate ever undertaken
by the committee. They show not

four congressional elections, but in
close districts the figures are carried
