serious outbreak occurred until the Fed
eral troops arrived and their presence
infamed the men,"
The witness then told OF the trouble
with the railroad brotherhoods. The
brotherhoods have outliyed their use
fulness," he said, "and for that reason
+ left the fremen's organization. They
were, fear, jealous OF the American
Railway Union and helped 10 defeat US.
There is now movement on foot 10

proposition will 90 submitted TO
the other railroad orders whereby
PRESENT OFFICERS

resign, with no possibility OF election 10
office. The principal cause of strife
thus being removed, an organization
will be effected. II the brotherhoods will
consent, which shall include all railroad
employees"
"Do you claim" asked Mr.. Wright,
"that the railroads were responsible for
the strike because they insisted upon
hauling Pullman cars?"
No, sir. The American Railway
Union was responsible for il, but under
aggravating circumstances. The gem
eral managers are united TO reduce
wages. The employees are united to re-
sist such reductions. In case OF re-
ducton that leads 10 a strike we think
the company is responsible"
what is your opinion as 10 methods
OF averting strikes?" asked Commission
er Worthington.
My own idea, and IT Is the idea OF the
American Railway Union. is TO unity
all the railroad men OF the country. A
power like that prudently managed
would avertstrlkes. The railroad man
ayers would recognize the wisdom OF
treating it fairly aud meetin II In
iconciliatory spirit"
"Do you believe a strike is justitiable
that interferes with the public convent
ence?"
II believe the striking is iustiiiable,
no matter what the result, when II Is TO
resist degradation and enslaving condi-
tions."
"Do you believe in government own
ership of railroads, asked Mr.. Herman.
"Yes, sir. believe the government
ownership OF railroads is decidedly bet
ter than railroad ownership Of the gov
er nment."
Mr.. Debs was followed by p. II. Nor
rissey, first vce-grand master OF the
Brotherhood OF Railroad Trainmen.
The feeling between the two orders,
he said, was not friendly. The Brother
hood believed in the extension OF trade
union principles, but did not believe In
such a unfcation as the American Rail-
way Union proposed In the instruc-
tions TO its men regarding the strike the
Broth erhood took the ground that II
was not approving the strike at Pull
man or the boycott, and therefore ex-
peS,ed it's men to do aheir regular duty,
but no1. TO 20 outside OF that for the
purpose of1ning strikers work.
L. Z. Clark, o. Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
was the next winess. He is Grand
Chief of the order OF RsIlway Conduc-
tors. He told the same st0y OF hostlli-
ty between the Brotherhood and the
Union. This closed the hearing OF wit
nesses for the day.
The Commissioners have notfld
George NJ. Pullman to appear and testi-
~, and will also call for several MEM
bers OF the General Managers Associa-
tion. The date for Mr.. Pullmap's tes-
timony's has not yet been set, but 10 Is
expected that he will appear Tuesday
or Wednesday.

THE SENATE Had NO QUORUM.

The sugar Bill Amended SO as to Pro-
vide a Duty OF 10 Per Cent straight
without ANY DiGereniiaI on the Rein
ed Article "A Reciprocity Provision
Attached TO the Coal BIu-IrOn Ore
Bll Unchanged.
WASHINGTON, August 20.-The Sen
ate Finance Committee held brief
session to-day and ordered favorable
reports on the four separate tarin ollls
passed by the House.
The sugar oil as agreed upon Is
amended so as TO provide for a duty OF
40 per cent. straight on sugar with
out any dlfferential on refined su-
gar, or any extra duty on su-
gar imported from countries pay
ing a bounty; 10 other words, is the
new tariff bill rate minus the diff
ferential. IL is the Jones amendment
except that his amendment provided
for ouly 30 per cent. The idea OF the
Democratic members Of the committee
is that this rate would furnish sufficient
revenue without giving the Sugar Trust
any advantage.
The coal oil was amended so as 10
provide for reciprocity on this article
by the admission free of duty OF coal
imported from countries imposing
duty on our coal, Is 10 be made dutiable
al the rata in existence when this bill
shall go into effect.
The amendment to the baroed wire
bill provides for the free admission OF
barbed wire and all other fencing wire
and the rods from which they are made.
The free iron ore dill was not amend
ed.
The Republican members OF the COM
mittee offered amendments Of their own
70 the bill. One Of the amendments was
that presented in the Senate by Senator
Hill for the repeal OF the income tax.
They also sought TO have the revenue
duty supplauted by provision for free
sugar with bounty. They voted sol
idly against the bills, but did not seek
10 delay the report upon them.
Senator White attended upon the
committee meeting for the first time
and acted in harmony with the older
Democratic members.
Almost Immediately after the above
bills had been reported 10 the Senate,
Senator Quay called attention 10 the
lack Of quorum, aud from that to ad-
iournment the time was spent search
ing for enough members TO make quo
rum. This was not successful, and ad-
journment was taken till Wednesday.
BY unanimous consent Mr.. PETER was
allowed 10 offer the following Iesolu-
tion,
ResolUed, That the Secretary of War
is authorized 10 lend two twenty-pound
cannon 10 the Board of Commis-
sioners Of Smith county, Kansas, for
five years, for the purpose of Droduc-
ing conclusions in the atmosphere TO

POPULIsTs MUST GO.
Senator Te,Ier's Views on the Situation in
Colorado.

DENVER, Col, August Ex-senator
Teller, in discussing State politics said;
III must be apparent to o.eyery man and
woman at home who is interested in
Colorado that the Populists must go.
1t is not a question of the defeat of any
one individual, but OF the entire party.
1t is beyond the ken Of any man 10
estimate the damage that has been done
this State by the present administration,
and no matter who might be upon the
PopuliSt ticket in the coming election,
whether the present governor or some
one else, the election OF that ticket
would mean & continuance of the pres
ent decentralization if not the Fastening
OF an utter and complete ruin follow
ing"
Speaking Of national affairs, Mr.. Tel
Ter said Cleveland is seriously setting
his pins for a fourth nomination, but
does not stand a ghost of a show to get
il. Senator Hill, he thinks, is the COM
ing man Of the Democratic party, and
has of late become very much stronger
politically than he was year ago.

LECTURER MOBBED.

APPLETON, Wis, Jan. 19.-Major
Sims, American Patriots association
lecturer, was mobbed at Kaukauna
last night. A mob of 200 people COL
lected outside the hall and stoned the
building, Sims and party of friends
barricaded the doors and resisted the
assaults of the mob. The sheriff of
Outagamie county was sent for by
Mayor Renter, who also telegraphed
militia, which Governor Peck denied
unless aske for by the sheriff. The
sheriff's party dispersed the mob and
with the help of local officers escorted
Sims to his clearinghouse. The mob
followed, throwing stones. Sims was
knocked senseless by stone, but the
officers fought the mob off and got
him safely to his lodgings. The mob
then dispersed. Sims was escorted to
the train this morning by three men
armed with winchester rifles, and he
left for Ashland. Bitter feeling has
existed for several months at Kauk-
auna over the American Patriots as.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18,-The most
significant event in the senate today
was the announcement of the resigna-
ton of Senator Walthall Miss. 1t
was totally unexpected, and when the
presiding officer laid before the senate
the letter of the senatorllannouncing
that he had forwardedshis resignation
to the governor of Mississippi, the
greatest surprise was expressed on all
sides, Senator Walthall is 63 years
old, and succeeded the late l.. =. q.
Lamar in the Senate nine years ago.
His retirement causes general regret
among his colleagues, as Senator wal
thall is very popular in tho senate.
The executive session of the day was
short, but it gave opportunity Tor the
introduction of two resolutions from
the Populist senator's condemning the
bond policy of the administration and
later ia the decision OF the Stark mon
ument appropriation The latter,
after a brief debate, was passed by a
vote of 80 yeas to 10 nays.
Senator Morgan Dem, Ala.) and
Senator Daniel (Dem., Va } took occa-
sion to express their disapproval OF the
proposed bond issue.
The remarks of Senator Vest Dem,
Mo- on the elections bill were enter.
tanning to the senate. ''Whis law,
said he, twas based on the assumption
that the officials of the United States
are better than the people of the
country. 1t is an assumption that
when you take citizen of a state and
clothe him in federal uniform and au
thority he becomes better and more
intelligent man. If public sentiment
in the state is such that state
legislation cannot be enforced,
the same will apply to legisla
ton coming from the national
government. The sena or from Iii,
nois (Palmer) the other day stated that
he was in favor of extending suffrage
to the negro and gave patriotic rea-
sons for it / undertake to say today
that this legislation has been the
source of more calamity to the United
States than any other enactment upon
the statute books or in the cOnstitu
ton if passed upon the idea that
negroes will be able to protect them +,
selves, although utterly unprepared
for the ballot" After general sum
mary of the outrages which Senator
Vest alleged had been committed un
der the federal election law, he con-
cluded his remarks at 8 p. IN.
On motion of Senator Cockrell the
senate went into executive session and
10 minutes later the doors were re-
opened and the senate adjourned I'M

upon and wounded twice. He was
unable to proceed further and was
captured, The mob was so incensed
at the killing of Roberts and wound
ing of the lad that they strung the
negro up to a tree. His body was
found hanging from limb yestel day
morning.
