HELP FOR STRIKERS.
Gov. Altseld Calls for Assistance
for the Pullman PeonIe


for the Pullman People,
Chicago, Aug. 22-Gov. Altgeld has
just issued the following prociama ton
addressed: ITO the people Of the State
Of Illinois. and especially those of the
city of Chicago"
There is great distress growing out
Of the want of food in and around the
town of Pullman. More than a thou
sand families. or in the neighborhood
Of G,00O people, are utterly destitute.
nearly four-tifths of them are women
and children. The men have en-
deavored to get work, but were unable
to do so. AS rule the men are su-
perior class of laboring people, indus
trious, capable and steady, and some
OF them have worked for the Pullman
company for more than ten years.
Those who have been given work can
get food, but are still in such an i'm
poverished condition that they cannot
help their neighbors if they would.
The relief society is unable to get more
supplies On last Saturday it gave to
each family two pounds of oat meal
and two pounds Of corn meal, and
having nothing left it suspended opera
tions, leaving the people in an absolute
ly helpless condition. We cannot now
stop to inquire the cause of this dis
tress. The good people of this state
cannot allow women and children by
the hundred to perish Of hunger. I
therefore call upon all humane and
charitably disposed citizens to con-
tributc what they can toward giving
relief to these people"

KEEP OUT ANARCHISTS.
Strong Committee Report on the De-
pOrtntfOn Bill.

pOrtnt1On BIZ.
Washington, Aug. pa strong re-
port favoring the rigid exclusion and
deportation of alien anarchists has
been made by the house committee on
judiciary. The report says: 1T is adj
mitted on all hands that the question
is one of very great Importance and
that legislation on the subject is called
for by every consideration of public
safety.
'"The committee is advised that owing
to the severe legislation recently adopt
ed by France and Italy great many
dangerous anarchists are making their
way to the United States, and under
existing laws they cannot be denied ad-
mission to our territory. The United
States will soon be the rendezvous of
these human monsters unless the pro-
posed legislation is speedily adopted.
Our committee is Of the opinion that
the United States is fully justified by
existing conditions in using all it's pow
ers to prevent immigration and settle
ment in this country of men who re-
pudiate all law, all government and
practically proclaim themselves as the
er"mies of mankind. The peculiar
method which they have adopted of
impressins the public of the justice of
their views by detestable assassina-
tions and wAnton destruction Of prop
erty will not recommend them to the
favorable consideration of any one in
this country"
A strong effort will be made to pass
the bill this session.

NoDTHERN PACIFIC TAXES.
The Railroad Sues to Have Theai,
Set Aside In North Dakota.


Jamestown, N. D., Aug 21.-Suit has
been brought by the receivers of the
Northern Pacific railroad, L. +. Oakes,
II. C. Payne and Fl. G. Rouse, to sex
aside and cancel all taxes and asscss-
ments levied against the lands of that
railroad in North Dakota during 1883.
The suit brought affects thirty counties
and involves a large sum of money,
the claim Of Stutsman county alone
amounting to about $4,000 now. Ihs
suit is brought against the treasurer
and auditor of each county, as Well as
the county itself, and also against nu-
merous other parties whose names
could not be learned. The railroad COM
pany was beaten in the suit to set
aside the tax levy Of 1889, and the tax
of 1887 is still in litigation.
One of the principal claims Of the
plaintiffs is that the county assessors
for the various counties within Which
the property of the ten other existing
railroads of the then Territory of Da-
kota We're situated, knowingly and will
fully omitted from their assessment
rolls for that year all such portions OF
the said property us lay within their
respective counties and failed to assess
the same for the purposes Of taxation,
and that no territorial, county, town or
ether tax was levied on the property,
or any of it, during 1885, and that by
reason of this omission to assess the
property, the amount of the tax levy OF
this &C ounty was greatly increased, and
that this unlawful increase of tax upon
the lands of the company, resulting
from the omission, cannot be segre-
gated from the tax which might 9TH
erwise be due from the lands if the
same We're taxable. The plaintiffs also
claim that the assessors in 1883 failed
to swear to the correctness Of their as-
sessment as required by law, and that
they failed to list and assess in 1SSS
the lands described in the appended
schedule of the lands in this particular
county.
The defendants deny these particular
claims and others, and hold that Tie
taxes are legally and lawfully due An
those counties in which the Northern
Pacific owns lands. lying within the
fifty-mile indemnify limit, have been
sued by the railroad. 4

st. Paul, Aug. 22.-The weekly Min
nes sofa crop bulletin, issued to-day by
the weather bureau, reports very heavy
county averages OF wheat. 1t says:
Vegetation. has been revived by the
late showers, and pasturage, millet
and flax in many places are greatly i'm
proved. The rains came too late to
be of much benefit to corn and po-
tatoes, although in some sections an
improvement in their condition has
been noted. Corn is ripening fast, and
some fields in the southern part of the
state are now ready to cut. The har-
vest Of small grain is nearly finished,
stacking is we'll advanced and threshing
is progressing with unusual rapidity,
OWING to the dry and clean condition of
the grain. In nearly every reporting
district the actual yields exceeded those
expected. This gratifying result is ac-
counted for by the clean condition Of
the fields, Which We're unusually free
from weeds. The straw was short and
on sandy soils the stand was thin,
which also made them look unpromis-
ing. Fall plowing has begun and some
winter grair has been soWn. The
ground is generally too dry for rapid
advancement with this work, and it
will hardly become general without
more rain.
The following additional and modi-
fed threshing yields follow:
Winter Wheat - Scott county, %

OF property Destroyed.
Memphis, Aug. 22.-Fire broke out at
o'clock this morning in four-story
building at No. 376 and 37S Shelby
street, occupied by the Mansfield Drug
company, and within less than an
hours time nearly a quarter of mil
lion dollars worth of property was de-
stroyed. The fire started among the
chemicals and oils in the rear of the
Marshtield building and spread so rap
idly that the tiremen soon lost control
of it. A general alarm was turned in
and every engine in the city was
brought to the scene. Finding that
they could not subdue the flames the
firelnen devoted their work to saving
adjoining property, and after an hours
battle succeeded in confining the fire
to the block in which it originated.
The Gayoso hotel is separated from the
burned block by narrow alley, and
when the alarm was sounded panic
occurred among the guests, but all of
them escaped without injury. The ho-
tel was saved by the firemen after a
hard struggle. 1t is impossible to give
an accurate list Of the losses.
