THE COMMISSION.
Several Witnesses Give Testimony Favor-

Several Witnesses Give Testimony Favor
 able to the Pullman Company.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Several of the witnesses examined by the strike com. mission to-day gave testimony more favorable to the Pullman Co. than that which had previously been heard. Frank w. Glover. a real estate agent, said he considered the Pullman houses at SIS and s20 month really cheaper than SIP a month houses in surround ing towns. The Pullman houses were well equipped and beautifully located, he said, and rents were not, in his opinion, too high. In reply to a query of Commissioner Wright, he denied that he was in any way connected with the Pullman Co.
 Paul F. Hermes, a newsdealer, who formerly worked in the Pullman shops, said he did not place much faith in the complaints of the men. Their trouble, he thought was largely due to a fond ness for beer. All the saloon-k keepers in the surrounding towns had grown rich.
 l.. H. Johnson, Pullman furniture dealer, testified that storeroOm rents in the town had been cut, though no reduction had been made in the resi-. dence rentals

FUNDS AVAILABLE.
The Report Unfounded That There Is No ! Money to Prepare for Collecting tho in-
 

rh. Renort Iynfounded That There Is No
 Money to Prepare for Collecting tno An' | come Tax.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Representa' tive Savers, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, brands as false and sensational the story print ed yesterday to the effect that the startling discovery had been made that the appropriations committee had neg ligently or by design failed to allow the sum necessary to collect the income tax. Every allowance for the coiiec' tion of the tax has been made in ac- cordance with the wishes of the treas ury department" said Mir. Say CTS. ''The commissioner of internal revenue conferred with me last week on the subject, and l asked him to talk with Secretary Carlisle and then sub- init a resolution covering just what he wanted. This was sent to me on Sat urday. It called for an additional S9, 900 for clerical help in the internal revenue department. introduced the resolution on Monday last, and it was passed. It is just as the treasury de- partment authorities want it"
 It appears that some time since Com missioner Miller wrote Mir. Savers, ,sug- gesting an increase in the appropria- tion if the income tax was adopted. But this was before the measure passed. As soon as it passed Mir. Savers sent for Mir. Miller, and it was result of this meeting that the com mission prepared the resolution for s9, 900 and had it endorsed by Secretary Carlisle.
 The fact is pointed out that the i'm ternal revenue has very large gem eral appropriation available, so the scare about lack of funds is unwar- ranted. The income tax does not go into effect until January l, 1895, one month after the next session of con gress opens.
 It is believed the appropriation of 5000 will be ample for the treasury uses, but if there proves to be small deficiency, they say it can be provided for at the next session. Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller said that inasmuch as the tax, if the bill should become a law, would not go intoeffect until January next and no reports are to be made until March l, following, the failure to make the would not cause any great inconvenience as the bulk of the force required for its execution would not be needed until after the beginning of next year.

SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY.
A Clergyman Gives an Account of the
 Ways of Pullman, ILL

| A Clergyman Gives an Account of the l Ways of Pullman, III.
 | CHICAGO. Aug. 22.-Rev. M. l.. Wick
 man, pastor of the Swedish Methodist church at Pullman, gave the most sen- sational testimony yet evoked against
 the Pullman Palace Car Co. before the
 federal Investigating commission yes
 terday. When business gets slack" he said, "the company's employees living outside of Pullman are ordered
 to move into the company's houses on peril of losing their posi- tions. Some of the men have attempted to buy houses on the install- ment plan, but this is discouraged, as such men are always the first to be laid off when the force is reduced. The men are unfairly treated in various ways. know of one instance when a man was injured in the shops and un- fair means were taken to prevent a damage suit. The man was taken to the | hospital, and later l saw sworn state ment, purportiDg to be signed by him. in which he said the accident was entire | ly unavoidable. l know the paper to have been forgery, for on the date on which it was made the man WIS un- able to write and could not have signed his name. One of the worst features of the Pullman system of house renting is the inn morality which it encourages. Many of the workmen are compelled to rent rooms to help out their r,nn tnnnnnaC Tho ha,,ync cn arranged that the roomers must pass through the family sleeping apart ments and as result the morality of Pullman is much below that of sur rounding towns. There is no w2y for the workingmen to avoid this, as they are practically compelled to live in the company's houses.
 Malcolm Mcdowell, newspaper re- porter, told of the overturning of cars at Pullman. He said that the mob at that point was composed of outside men, mainly foreigners, and that there were no railroad strikers in the disor- derly crowd.
 Roy Baker, a Chicago reporter, called upon for an account of the riot at Hammond, stated that he was in the midst of the mob and saw no A. R. U. 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, surrounded by women, children and other spectators, attempted to overturn some Pullman cars. Without warning the troops fired, killing and wounding several people, all ot whom were innocent spectators. At no time during the trouble did he see rail road man and member of the A. R. U. in the mobs.
 John c. Donnelly, chief deputy United States marshal, testified to the number and quality of the men em- ployed as deputies.
 "As to the acts of violence, were they committed by railroad men, as far as you know?" he was asked.
 No, sir. All the violence and burn- ing of cars that l saw at the stock | yards was done by lot of tough kids l about IS years old or a little older"

 Have Narrow Escape.

Have a Narrow Escape.
 BUTTE, Mont, Aug 23.-Three min. CTS were drowned and 100 others had marvellous escapes in the Glengarv mine, near this city, yesterday after noon. While stopping between the 300 and 40O-foot levels the miners broke through into the old workings of the Ground Squirrel and Monitor. two ad- joining mines, which have not been worked for some time, and had filled with water. The water rushed through the break in frightful torrents, and in almost an instant filled the Glengary workings from the 4OJ to the 200 level. Nearly all the men succeeded in climb. ing to points of safety on the upper levels, but at least three miners are known to have been caught, and if is feared that the number will be in- creased after investigation.

THOSE ERRORS.
The Tarifr Bili Said to Contain but Few
 Errors of Importance.


 Errors of Importance.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The legisla- tive and expressing clerks of the sen. ate have been comparing the state ments of errors in the new tariff bill, made in various papers to-day and say there are only two or three errors that need to give officers of the treasury any concern. These are the para graphs relating to free admis- sion of alcohol in the arts, the diamond schedule and perhaps the omission of period in the paragraph relating to stamping foreign manu- factures. Even in the case of dia- monds, they believe the construction placed on the bill will be that intended by congress, and they will pay the duty imposed on precious stones. As to the other errors enumerated, it is claimed by these clerks that by no sys- tenn of construction can the alleged mistakes in punctuation be made to either impose higher duties or allow the free admission of articles named. Members of the finance committee are of the same opinion.
