test for the gubernatorial nomination
and the nomination of three candidates

candidates for election to the state
board of equalization.
The contest between the factions
known as Railroad" and "Anti-Rail-
road" is mainly over the naming Of
candidates for these two important
state boards.
For governor the leading candidates
tonight are ex-Congressman James H
Budd, of Stockton, and Barney d.
Murphy, of San Jose. The name of

that in the coming campaign the
Southern Pacific must, for the first
time, come from behind their ramparts

remarks, provoked uproarious applause

Everhart Too Much For the Eng
IiShmau,


New Orleans, Aug. 21.-There were
5000 spectators seated in the Olympic
club tonight at o'clock, when time
was called for the twenty-five round
scientific glove contest between Stanton
Abbott, champion lightweight of Eng
land, and Jack Everhart, of this city,
for a purse of $1,000.
Abbott commenced the fight by land
ing sharp body blow. Some heavy
followed, Abbott doing the bet
ter hitting. The men clinched and on
breaking away each landed their rights
and Abbott retired to his corner with
a mark on the left eye.
In the second round, Everhart re-
ceived a left in the stomach, the Eng
lishman seeming to confine his fighting
principally to the body. Both landed
blows on the head.
Abbott landed left on the face and
ran away. The Englishman scored two
left-handed blows.
The fight. continued with slight varia-
ton to the eighth round, when Abbott,
in a hot rally, in the center of the ring,
apparently had the best of it, frequent
ly landing in his opponents face.
In the ninth and tenth there was
some hot fighting and in the eleventh
Abbott had much the best of it, knock
ing Everhart down with left in the
face.
From this time up to the twentieth

From the twenty-second to the, TWEEN
ty-fourth the fighting was furious, Ev-
erhart improving in condition while
Abbott looked tired.
In the tWenty-fifth round Abbott was
knocked out, after having been knocked
down half a dozen times.
During the last part pf the contest
Everhart fouled Abbott several times.

Faulty Punctuation May Cause Cons
siderable Trouble With the Tar
iii Bill.
Washington, Aug. 21.-Additiona1 er.
rors in punctuation in the new tariff
bill are constantly being discovered by
the treasury officials. Today an i'm
portant mistake was found in section
five of the free list This section pro-
vides that articles of foreign manufac-
ture must be stamped with the name Of
the original importer and then
says: "And until so marked,
stamped, branded or labeled, they
shall not be delivered to the
importer, should any article of import
ed merchandise be marked. stamped,
etc, in excess of the quantity exactly
contained in such article"
1t is assumed that there should have
been period established between the
words importer and should" but as
there is none, the paragraph as it
stands is unintelligible.
Up to this time, Mr.. Carlisle has not
asked any opinion of the attorney
general upon the many mistakes in the
bill. and he will probaly not do so un-
til after the bill becomes a law. The
secretary, however, has expressed the
opinion that all goods now in bond
which have been changed from the du-
table to free list, will be subject to the
duty in force when imported, if with
drawn for consumption.
The goods can, however, be imported
and then re-imported and thus receive
the benefits of the free list. This was
not the intention of Congress. Early
in the preparation of the bill this cues
ton was raised, but the words cor
Wsthdrawn for consumption" which
appear in the enacting clause, were
then changed to clearly indicate that
goods in bond could be withdrawn at
the new rates. But the true signific-
ance OF the words sand mentioned in
the schedules herein contained" which
follow, do not seem to have been fully
understood.

Chicago, Aug. PIN. J. Carroll editor
Of the Eight-Hour Herald, was the first
witness before the strike commission
today. He told of the effort of the
civic federation to settle the Pullman
strike. He was informed by Pullman
officials that they had nothing to arbi-
trate. He believed that compulsory ar
bitration applied to quasi-public indus
tries would be beneficial and read a
letter from a friend in New Zealand,
showing the beneficial result of govern
ment ownership of railroads and tele-
graphs.
Malcolm Mcdowell, newspaper re-
porter, told of overturning of cars at
Pullman. He said there were no rail-
road strikers in the mob.
A Minister Grows Emphatic.
Rev. L. T. Wickman, pastor of the
Swedish Methodist church at Pullman,
was emphatic in his denunciation of
the methods of the Pullman company.
When business gets brisk he said,
the company's employees living out
side of Pullman are ordered to move
into the company's houses on peril of
losing their positions. The men who
installment plan are first laid off when
the force is reduced. One man injured
in the shops was taken to the hospital
Later 1 saw a sworn statement purport-
ing to be signed by him in which he
said the accident was entirely unavoida-
bic. l know the paper was forgery,
for on the date on which it was made
the man was unable to write his name.
zone of the worst features of the
Pullman system of HOUSEKEEPING is
the immortality it encourages. Many
workmen are compelled to rent rooms.
Houses are so arranged that the room
ers must pass through the family sleep
ing apartments, and as a result the
morality of Pullman is much below
that of the surrounding towns"
Were Innocent Spectators.
Roy Baker, Chicago reporter, was
called upon for an account of the riot
at Hammond Mr.. Baker stated he
was insthe midst. of the mob and saw
no American Railway union men or
railroad strikers, the crowd being made
up of toughs and outsiders. He said
that shortly before the United States
troops fired, a small body of men, sur
rounded by women, children and other
spectators, attempted to overturn some
Pullman cars. Without warning, the
witness declared, the troops fired, kill
ling and wounding several people, al
of whom were innocent spectators.
John C. Donnelly, chief deputy United
States marshal, testified:
"As to the acts of violence, were they
committed by railroad men as far as you
know"
mo sir. all the violence and burning OF
cars 1 saw at the stock yards was done
by a lot of tough kids about eighteen
years old, or little older"
