PULLMAN STRIKE TRIAL.
Witnesses Testify Before the Nations
 Labor Commission.

Witnesses Testify Before the National
 Labor Commission.
 Chicago, Aug. 22.-At the opening of to-day's session of the national labor commission, Chairman Wright an nounced that the majority of witnesses for labor had been heard and that the railroads and the Pullman company would now be allowed to present their side of the case.
 The first witness was Frank W. T. Glover, Chicago real estate agent. He declared that rents had not been re- duced at Kensington.
 If were poor man." said MT. Glov- CT, land had family, should prefer very much to live in Pullman rather than in .Kensington. The surroundings are so beautiful in Pullman and the place so moral would rather pay g or $3 month more for the same accomo- dations in Pullman" ,.~., Paul Hermes, an ex-employee of the Pullman company, now 8 news agent there, testified that he thought his resi- dence of nine rooms in Pullman was cheap at $35 month. He thought that if the Pullman employees had let whis- key and beer alone they would not have had nearly so much distress.
 On cross examination MT. Hermes could not estimate how large propor- liquor to excess.
 L. R. Johnston testified as to the comparative value of property in Pull man, Kensington and Roseland. He could get houses for less money in Roseland or Kensington, he said, but he did not get as good 8 house for the money as in Pullman. The Pullman employees were temperate for the most part, and of economical habits. He testified that rents had remained sta- tionary in the suburbs of Pullman and that house which rented for $17 in Pullman would cost SIP outside
 William K. Mckay, 8 reporter for the Chicago Mail, testified that he had been present at many labor meetings and had never heard the strike leaders counsel violence.
 How were you impressed with these speeches?" asked Judge Worth ington.
 Did you think they were sincere or were they simply 50 much bun combe?" T thought the speakers were sim cere"
 Benjamin Atwell, another reporter, followed. He had seen no real violence done by railroad employees. He had heard, he said, strikers counsel their companions, during the trouble at Blue Island not to commit overt acts.

ANOTHER TARIFF BLUNDER.
COcOanut Oil Free of Duty, the Raw
Product Taxed.

COcOanut Oil Free of Duty, the Raw
Product Taxed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-Import-
ers and merchants here claim a serious
blurder has been made in the tariff
bill. Under the proposed law, cocoa
nut oil is admitted free of duty, but
copra. which is the raw material from
which oil is manufactured, is subjected
to duty of 80 per cent. Copra Is tine
raw sun-drieo product of cocoanut and
cannot be used for any other purpose
than making cocoanut oil, which is
chiefly used in the manufacture of
soap. COpra is not prepared and can
not be used as dessicated cocoanut and
has always been duty free. Twelve
leading firms here have united in tele-
graphing a protest to Washington
urging correction of what they believe
to be an error made through ignorance
of the articles being scheduled.

LYONS, Aug. 16.-The republic of
France avenged the death of her be-

morning, at which hour Santo was
guillotined in the public square. With
the cry of "Vive panarchie" on his
lips the head of the trembling assassin
was severed from the body by the keen
blade, and another anarchist had died
for mistaken cause.
There were unusual demonstrations
attending the execution. The news of
the decision TO execute Santo early in
the morning spread rapidly, notwith-
standing the effort to keep it secret.
The wine shops and restaurants in the
vicinity were crowded all evening
with people who wanted to
witness the execution. However,

a small party of Indians on the other
side of the river, riding in the same
direction with us. When we had
marched about three miles they stopped
and had talk across the narrow river,
when we found one of them was Gear
rs, one OF the head chiefs of the Spo-
kans, who has received some education
from the priests in the Red river coun-
try, and who speaks English tole-ably
well. He expressed a wish to have
talk" with Colonel Wright, and was
tod by the colonel to meet him at the
ford two miles above the falls. 1t is
evident their spirit is broken by
the two Lessons they have rec, lived.
Soon after we had halted at the ford
Gearry crossed over and came into
camp. He said "that he had always
been opposed to fighting, but that the
young men AID many of The chiefs
were against him, and he could not
control them" This, we have reason
to believe. Is true, for DR.. Perkins,
when at Fort Colville, attended the
Spokan council, and makes the fol-
lowing mention of Gearry: HE says
his heart Is undecided; he does not
know which way to go; his friends are
lighting the whites, aud lie does not
like to join them; but, if he does not,
they will kill him. During the whole
time that we were in the council Gearry
never said "a word, hut looked on"

Wright was very plain, but 10y no

To tell them If they did as he demanded

pie, and TO return himself tomorrow

ris'. All this he promised to do.

Gearry kept faith with Colonel
Wright, and for more Tia N Il ird Of a

lasting credit, he kept the compact
never TO wage war upon the white
