Somewhat sbashed Messrs, Rspp and
Wilde stepped backward, and three or
four mechanics who had been standing
near by stepped forward. There was
Thomas W. Hesthcote, leader OF the
strike; G. A. Kramer, Theodore Rhodes
and two or three members of the relief
com mittee.
"I want to see what you men have to
show me-" said Governor Altgeld. "Let
us start in at once" and with Kramer on
his left and Hssthcote on his right the
governor dashed eastward toward the
town, his aides, q small army OF news
paper men, and a crowd Of idlers follow
ing. They went at once to the tene-
ments on Fulton street, where much
misery was said to exist, and this misery
was found in plenty. The first stop was
made at No. 124, where Mrs. O'Halloran,
q blind widow was found, occupying
four small rooms on the first floor. She
told the governor she had two sons, aged
10 and IA years respectively, and q
daughter, aged 20. All three had worked
for Pullman, but were now idle. They
had sll applied for work, but were told
chat there was no work for them. One
OF the boys had been brass polisher
and the younger son and daughter had
worked in the laundry. They had lived
in the town seven years.
They had no coal in the house, very
little food, which the relief people had
given them, and they could not support
themselves. The blind woman said
there was no one to look after their con-
dition.

"They have not, sir" replied the blind
woman.
She said they paid s126O per month
for the four rooms and another family
lived in the apartments above. One OF
her sons had drawn $160 per day and
the other 96 cents.
"Good luck to you, sir" she said. As
the governor left the place with his teeth
shut firmly together.
The governors party grew larger Ss
they went from house. Wherever per-
mission was given they looked into
kitchens, cellars and bedrooms. The
visitors were surprised at one thing
the intelligence and cleanliness Of these
working people in their extreme poverty.
John Cederland, q sick and broken

Illinois Anarchist" Governor Took a
Hand at Investigating the Condition
of Labor and Pound It Most
Appalling,

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The Investigations
official and otherwise, Of the trouble at
Pullman and the causes Of the great
strike, have thrown more light on the
deplorsble condition Of labor throughout
the country than anything that has
ever been reported by the daily press.
Because, there are very few daily papers
whose editors will give the truth when il
conflicts with the interests of wealthy
individuals or corporations, except when
the truth comes from an official soures.
The reform papers, which deal with the
truth about such matters, are nearly all
Weeklies, and do not reach the daily
news seeker.
While the Presidents strike commits.
sion was taking its time to inquirinR in
to the cause Of the strike, preparatory
to making a long windsd report, per-
hsps without offering any practical
remedy, Governor Altgeld has turned
his attention to the crying needs of the
hour-the relief of the suffering poor
who have been systematically robbed Of
their earnings with the aid Of the federal
government.
The governor opened correspondence
with relief committees and others OF
whom he might expect to learn the
truth, and as q result he decided to
come and see for himself. He arrived
in Chicago the goth and held q confer
snce with Mayor Hopkins, Vice Presi-
dent Wickes, of the Pullman company,
and othere; then he and several friends
went to Pullman in response to an inVi-
tation from the relief committee Of the
labor organizations. At Pullman there
was little group waiting on the plat
form. A big man with gray whiskers
and lordly air rushed forward and pre-
sented his card to the governor. He
was August Rapp, the chief designer OF
the Pullman company and formerly SUI
perintendent Of the works. With him
was Fred Wilde, Pullman's chief &C.
countant, whom he presented. It was
evident, however, that Governor Altgeld
was not there to see Pullman officials,
who had been designated by Superin-
tendent Middleton to meet him.

VENOM INOCULATED.
A New Orleans Professor Tries Rat
tIeSnake Poison.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. %. - Professor
George Boyer, curator of the Tulane Uni
versity Museum in this city, subjected
himself to a dangerous experiment. he
allowed himself to be bitten by a rattle
snake in order to determine If person
can be inOculated with the venom of ser
penis.
From his large collection of snakes he
selected a young RATHER that had been
caught few days ago. Teasing the snake
he maddered it. and in few minutes it d.
rected lis fangs toward Professor Beyer's
little finger and bit him. The professor
says he did not use any antid0te, and
awaited develo pments. In the course of a
few hours the finger became swollen TO
twice its normal size. The professor said
that during the week he would allow him.
self to be bitten again. He does not think
the bite Will prove fatal, because young
snake cannot emit as much poison as an
old one. The sensation was much like the
sting Of bee, the pain became intense
and the finger became swollen.
Professor Beyer's object in experiment
ing is to try and establish that by the
gradual absorption of snakes venom the
system will become inOculaled and a per-
son in that condition can be bitten without
the results proving fatal Professor Boyer
thinks his experiment win be successful

UNDER OTHER FLAGS.
Plans Made to Raid the Seal
Fisheries.
Why the United States VIII Ask
the Cooperation of Foreign
Nations.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The State De-
partment has initiated the next phase of
the sealing question by addressing an
identical note 10 all maritime powers, invit-
ing them 10 adhere to the agreement
reached by the United States and Great
Britain relative TO the protection of seal
fisheries. This was made necessary by the
award of the Paris Arbitration Commit
tee. which found the United States had no
exclusive jurisdiction over the seal waters
and that these could be protected only by
mutual agreement.
By the terms of the treaty submitting
her case to arbitration Great Britain was
bound to agree 10 the arrangement as to
close seasons and closed zones imposed bv
the arbitration tribunal. This, Of course.
could have no effect upon other nations.
and vessels sailing under the flags of
&c Tmany. France. Russia, Sweden or even
Hawaii were left by the award free to
prey upon the seals anywhere outside Of
the three-mile limit from Alaskan shores
and islands.
To meet this the tribunal recommended
that an effort be made to secure the ad-
heslon OF other powers to the same ar
rangements that bound Great Britain and
the United States. There were indications
that certain enterprIsiDg merchants were
making ready to conduct raid on the
seals under other flags than our own and
Great Britain. notably the Hawaiian and
German flaEs. and it was felt to be the
only prudent course to avoid any disagree
able incidents in the future by securing
the adhesion of the remaining maritime
nations to the agreement.

6. w. VromaD, chairman Of the griev-

OF the Union Pacific employees against tine

men were at that time a part of the
Federation, the case being brought and
acted upon prior to the appointment of a
separate receiver.
Mr.. Vroman comes fresh from that
victory over the Union Pacific, and while
the men will not commit themselves, it is
now believed that Mr.. Vroman is urging
them to appeal to the court with view OF
securing an order restraining Receiver
Mcneil from making the proposed re-
dnetons.
Concerning the situation Mr.. Mcneil
this morning said: 1--WE do not recognize
Mr.. VrOman in the matter. The question
is one between ourselves and our employees.
We think our men are we'll able to rep
resent themselves without the help of
represen tatiyes of other corporations.
We are dealing directly with them and
desire to arrange d schedule with them
that will be liberal in every respect and
one that they will accent. 1t is a right the
employees have to appeal to the court, but
we expect to arrangs a schedule that will
be accepted without recourse TO the court.

the Republican Senators are guarding this
request.
The Democratic Senators now threaten
to retaliate by taking up the supplemental
tariff bills and trying to pass them in case
they succeed in getting a quorum, but
they realize there are many difficulties in
the way of putting such a programme int
effect, and did not at the meeting to-day
resolve upon any definite action beyond
exerfing themselves to the utmost to secure
