TURNING INTO TRAMPS
Latest Utteranecs of Master Workman
Sovereign Before Laboring Men
of Baltimore.
MILLIONS ARE STARVING,
While MilliOnaires Continue to Build
PaIaees---Governor Altgeld Makes
an Appeal.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 90. General Master
Workman Sovereign of the knights Of
Labor, addressed large meeting of
workmen here, in the course of which
he said:
"In the beginning men started
equally, but now the one class has
nearly everything, and millions, though
willing to work. are ON the verge Of
starvation. While millions are starving,
the rich still find place on earth for
magnificent palaces and great parks,
where they may hunt and enjoy life as
they please to do.
''In America today there are 5000, 900
men, willing and ready to work, who
are idle for want of work to do, mould
ing themselves or rather being moulded,
into felons and beggars.
Charity Has Been Strained
as it was never strained before, but still
the cry for bread from starving throats
Is heard all over the land. These men
are being turned into tramps.
1.-THE tramp has been described as a
cross between poverty and crime, but ]
think that the dude, a product of our
civilization, can just as accurately be
described as cross between nobody
and nothing. Both are the results, the
outcome of monopoly, the monopoly
that unless it is throttled viii cause the
death of the republic.

May BE Caused by the Soo's Position on
Emigrant Rates.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23.--At the meeting
of the Chicago-St. Paul lines to con-
slider the question of competition on
east bound emigrant business the entire
matter, after long discussion, was re-
ferred to the advisory committee Of the
emigrant pool Of the Western lines.
The 500 is assuming an attitude which
cannot fail, if persisted in, to bring
down no end of trouble ON the Western
roads. It demands differential rate of
$3.50 and at the same time insists upon
meeting the commission payments
made via Chicago by the st. Paul Chi
cago lines. The other lines can hardly
be expected to endure this sort of thing
and a lively row is in prospect If the
500 maintains its present position.

CanseaI lDy the Tarlff nm.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.--The antici-
pated enactment of our new tariff law
has affected the wool market in Eng
land. according to a report to the state
department from United States Consul
Meelxer, at Bradford. IT has caused
quicker sales than ever before, buyers
being eager to anticipate brisk de-
mand from the United States, and farm
ers are anxious to turn their fieeces into
ready money because Of the depression.
The prices showed an average advance
Of from " TO cent pound over last
year, also caused by the tariff bill
changes, as the consumption of the
home trade did not warrant the advance.

Nancy Hanks Record mt Washington Park
Beaten by a Second.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.--Alix trotted a
mile in 2:0514 at Washington park, and
the exhibition was pronounced by
nearly all the horsemen present to be
the greatest ever made in the sulky. It
reduced the track record of 2O64 held
by Nancy Hanks, and. while it fell III
seconds short of the worlds record, was
really better performance, conditions
considered. The Washington park
track is at least 11a seconds slow. 1t
has not been SO fast as formerly since
the new loam was placed ON it be-
fore the June running meeting, and is
In need of good hard rain. Mcdowell,
WHO handled Alix, said that the track
was two seconds slow at the smallest
estimate. The event was not called
until $50 o'clock. Although the wind
was not high the atmosphere was cool
and far from record breaking. Alix
scored twice and then was sent away
under hard pull. The first quarter
was made in 3115. She scurried ON to
the half in 1:0314, then Mcdowell let
her ont little and the running mate
joined her. She went to the three
quarters in 1885, and came home with.
ont a break and full of go in 2:0511
several watches catching it in 2:05 fat.

Al Sad ENDING.

Race For the Corporation Cup at Sc. John
N. h.. Terminates Tragically.
ST. JOHN, N. b., Aug. 2S.--The yacht
race for the Corporation cup resulted in
the swamping of one Of the boats and
the drowning OF eight of her crew. The
Ave yachts started ont with good stiff
breeze. Nothing of importance happened
until the yachts had rounded the last
buoy and were homeward bound, when
all were becalmed. To the westward
plain indications of q storm could be
seen. In short time the storm came
with rain and high wind, followed a
few minutes later by hail storm. The
yachts had their sails all set when the
storm struck them. In a short time
the yachts were all ont of sight with
The Storm Raging Furiously.
The Maple Leaf was some little distance
from the others and was the first to re-
ceive the benefit Of the squall. The
crew made an effort to take in SAIL but
before they could accomplish this work
the topmast was carried away. The
Primrose was well in shore when struck
and she lasted but few minutes. She
was thrown ON her beam ends and in an
instant she plunged, bow first, to the
bottom.
As the storm subsided the people on
the tug boat Lille discovered one yacht
was missing, and Immediately got mp
steam for search for the missing boat.
After going about quarter Of mile
four men were found swimming
about in
The Heavy Running Sea.
They were picked up after having been
in the water over half an hour. The
following are the names Of the drowned:
Samuel Hutton, aged 80; Fred Priest,
SON OF Captain Priest, aged 90; George
Heathfeid, aged 90; A. A. Kerly, aged
20; George Bartlett, aged 81; James
Hurley. aged 90; William Russell, aged
20; Ell. Hoyt, aged 10.
Hutton was one of the best known
oarsmen in the world. He was MEM
ber of the celebrated Paris crew, which
won fame on both sides of the Atlantic
quarter of q century ago. The res
cued men cannot tell anything about
the accident.

APPEALS FOR AID.
A1t@eId Issues Proclamation Asking
Help For Starving Ex-Strikers.

Altgeld Issues PrOcAAmatAan Asking
Help For Starving Ex-strikers.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Governor Alt
geld has issued the following proclama-
tion addressed, .'to the people of the
state of Illinois, and especially to those
OF the city of Chicago y
There is great distress growing ont
of the want of food in and around the
town of Pullman. More than 1000
families, or in the neighborhood Of
5000 people, are utterly destitute;
nearly four-fifths of them are women
and children. The men have endeav-
ored to get work but were unable to
do SO.
"As rule the men are a superior
class of laboring people, industrious,
capable and steady, and some Of them
have worked for the Pullman company
for more than 10 years. Those who
have been given work can get food but
are still in
such an Impoverished Condition
that they cannot help their neighbors If
they would. The county commissioners
of Cook county, as overseers of the
poor, have rendered some assistance,
but owing to the limited appropriation
they can furnish relief but for short
time.
1--WE cannot now stop to inquire the
cause of this distress. The good people
Of this state cannot allow women and
children by the hundred to perish of
hunger. / therefore call upon all
humane and charitably disposed citizens
to contribute what they can toward
giving relief to these people. ("
Before issuing the proclamation Gov
ernor Altgeld sent a lengthy commune
cation to Mr.. Pullman, calling his at
tention to the situation and saying of
the strikers:
The Appeal to Pullman.
ut is claimed they struck. because
after years of toll their loaves were so
reduced that their children went
hungry. Acceding that they were
wrong and foolish, they had yet served
you long and well and you must feel
some interest in them. They do not
stand ON the same footing with you, so
that much must be overlooked. The
state Of Illinois has not the least desire
to meddle in the affairs of your COM
pany, but it cannot allow whole COM
munity within its borders to perish of
hunger. The local overseers of the poor
have been appealed to, but there Is a
limit to what they can do. / cannot
help them very much at present, so, nm
less relief comes from some other
source, shall either have
no Can an Extra Session
or the Legislature to make special APP
preparation, or else issue an appeal to
the humane people ,of the state to give
bread to- your recent employees. 1t
seems to me that you would prefer tc
relieve the situation yourself, and es.
pecial1y as It has just cost the state up-
wards Of $50. 900 To project your prop
erty, and as both the state and the pub.
lie business have suffered enormous loss
and expense ON account Of the disturb
ances that grew out of the trouble be-
tween your company and its workmen. 4
TO this Mr.. Pullman replied at length,
giving the position Of the company In
the present situation but declining to
follow the suggestions for relief iii the
