CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-The Strike Com
missioners' investigation to-day de-
veloped an enthusiastic disciple of Bell

A. Il. u. Goodwin declared that strikes
could be avoided by Matchmaking rail-
roads and all other extensive corpora
tions and industries.
Professor Il. A. Bemis, Associate Pro-
fessor of Political Economy in the Chi
cago University. advocated as a pre-
ventive a national and permanent board
OF arbitration.
A number of railway employees were
examined, all of whom testified TO having
country since the strike. only to discover
they had been blacklisted.
X. +. Mills, an engineer of Garrett,
Ind, testified that he was discharged IN
July and was told that he was not to be
employed again. Since then he sent a
letter to w. 6. Brinson, President of the
illinois steel Company, asking for enl-
ployment. In few days Mr.. Brinson
replied that if the application had been
received a week before he would have
been glad to employ Mills, but that now
he had been informed of Mills promi-
nence in the American Railway Union,
and therefore he could not employ him.
worked on the Grand Trunk road, testi-
fed that he had made application for
work to the Union Stock Yards Transit
Company, and was refused. The official
to whom he applied told him that no man
who had ever served on labor committees
would be given work.
Charles Naylor, a fireman and engineer,
and member of the American Railway
Union, came next. He was dismissed
June 18th from the Pennsylvania lines,
and knew that he was blacklisted because
General Superintendent had told
friend OF the witness that he could not
get work. Naylor said the workingmen
would have no confidence in permanent
Board OF Arbitration, whether elected or
appointed He thought a new board
should be appointed for each case.
These officials get too far away from the
people, said Mr.. Naylor.
Vice-President Howard of the Ameri-
can Railway Union was recalled. How
ard desired to call the commissions at
tention to two facts-Ihat the United
States Government is now blacklisting
or boycotting 5000 employees of the Union
Pacific for their connection with the
American Railway Union, and that the
railroads of the country we've threatening
10 boycott the Missouri, Kansas IL Texas
road unless it withdrew it's present low
rate TO Washington. 1--WE think that if
the Government can keep its hands off the
railroads, and let them settle their diff
culties by boycott or any way they please.
it should keep its hands off the employees
as well.''
The audience to-day was larger than at
any previous session. 1t is probable that
the question of the extent of jurisdiction
OF the commission will come up before
the end OF the investigation.

BUzzARD's BAY (Mass.l, Aug. IT,
President Cleveland arrived at Gray
Gables to-day, and was affectionately
greeted by Mrs. Cleveland and the chill
dren. He appeared to be in good health,
and delighted to see his family. The
lighthouse tender John Rodgers steamed
into the bay past Hog Island shortly after
8 o'clock. During the day coal schooner
had appropriated the Gray Gables moor
ings, and the Rodgers drlfted idly down
toward Monument Beach. Then there was
a slight delay, when she steamed back to
point opposite the Gables and anchored.
a few minutes later Mr.. Cleveland, ac-
companied by DR.. O'Reilly and party,
put off in boat and were sent ashore af
Gray Cables at 9:3J o. o'clock.
Mrs. Cleveland and the children had
been signalling from the veranda of the
cottage from the time the tender first ap-
peared, and as the President stepped
ashore they FASTENED to meet him. The
party then entered Gray Gables, where
break fast was waiting.
At noon Mrs. Cleveland received re-
porter of the Associated Press. She said
the President had improved in health,
and was feeling quite we'll. He was
rather tired. and as he wanted rest and
absolute quiet, had lain down for short
time. He could not see anyone, and
would not be interviewed. Mrs. Cleve-
land said she had talked to the President
very little, and could not say what his
plans were. He would remain at homo
but a few days, as important business
would compel his return TO Washington.

Latest Adyices From Along the Yukon
Kiver.
PORT TOWNSEND, Aug. 1.-THE ship
Mas Brothers returned to-day from the
Yukon River with advices to July lst
Captain Lyon, who was going down
the Yukon River to take command Of the
steamer p. B. Wear, and four others,
were capsized and drowned at Five Fin
gers Rapids. Sixty pounds of mail was
also lost.
The steamer Arctic, which was used as a
freight tender on the Upper Yukon, was
caught in a gale sixty miles from St.
MichaePs Island and badly damaged.
| The vessel was compelled TO return for
repairs. and there is 40 other available
vessel to take supplies to the miners on
the Upper Yukon River. There are I,l00
miners there, and ii relief is not sent at
once it is feared much suffering will
ensue.
Missions and trading stations along the
lower Yukon River were greatly dam
aged last year by the extreme high water.
! The natives lost most of their winter S
food, and were reduced to starvation.
Several deaths occurred in the mines
last winter. Joe Goldsmith, whisky
smuggler, was found on the river bank
dead from cold and exposure.
Two miners had dispute over a claim,
and had duel with pistols. Both were
killed.
Several pew mining discoveries are re-
ported.
Commander Morgan of the United
States steamship Alert came down on the
ship Iroquois, on account of illness, and
proceeded to San Francisco.
Much anxiety is felt for the safety of the
steamer Albion, which left Puget Sound
for St. Michaefs Island early in June
with supplies for Yukon miners. Ordi-
narily the vessel should have arrived at
Unalaska early in July, and at It's desti-
nation two weeks later. Recent advIces
from both places say the steamer has not
reached there, and the Yukon traders are
much alarmpd

MRS. FAIRS ESTATE.
The Surviving Son Making Another
Effort to Secure HIS share.

The Surviving Son Making Another
Effort to Secure His share.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. H.-Charles L..
Fair, surviving son of ex-senator James
G. Fair, began another effort in the pro-
bate department of the Superior Court
to-day to secure a million of his mother 5
estate, the amount being the aggregate
legacies of his deceased brother James
and himself. Mrs. Fair left five hundred
thousand dollars to each of her sons,
James to receive his at 30 and Charles his
share when 80 years old. II was pro-
vided that in case either son died before
attaining the age named without a wife
or lawful children his share was to re-
vert to his brother.
James Fair died two years ago, when
he was 80. Charles claimed his legacy.
but both the Superior and Supreme
Courts decided that Charles must wait
for James legacy until such time as the
latter would have been 35. Since that de-
cision Charles has married, and he claims
that the ceremony altered the case, en-
titling him to immediate possession of
both legacieS. If he should die he claims
his wife would receive half of his inherit
ance and his father one-half, and as his
sisters cannot get either legacy now,
there is no use in keeping the money out
of his hands longer. Mrs. Herman Oel-
richs is now entitled to her share,
amounting TO million and a half.
Charles new contest will probably tie up
the property for another year.

Special to the REcoRp-uNroN.

PORTLAND, Aug. 17.-Judge Bellin ger
of the United States District Court has
determined to put stop to the abuse of
arresting white men for selling liquor to
Indians. For many years Deputy
| Marshals in remote parts of the State
have made a business of arresting and
bringing to this city at heavy cost all
white men found giving liquor to
Indians. The average cost to the Gov
eenment in each case was about 5000,
while the fine imposed on the defendant
was seldom more than So
Recently Judge BelIinger held that
Indians holding lands in severalty were
to be considered citizens, and amenable
to State laws. An information was filed
against two men charging them with
selling liquor to an Indian while a ward
of the United States and under the charge
of duly authorized Indian agent.
This is new departure, so far as the
charge usually made is concerned, but
the Assistant District Attorney was not
successful in having it accepted.
Judge Bellinger refused to allow any
such information to be filed in his court.
He held that ''if these cases were of suffi-
cient importance the District Attorney
must proceed with them by Indictment.
| The business had been farcical. Ii the
case was of enough concern to require
action in the District Court there will
have to be such punishment to the Of
fender as will have deterrent effect on
the commission of such crime. The
court does not feel authorized to impose
sucn punishment except when there has
been an Indictment by the Grand Jury.
Such IS the practice in the district of
Washington, Idaho and Nevada, and
there is no reason why the same rule
should not be observed here. If these
cases are frivolous they require but
small punishment. The State authorities
can take care of them, and the State law
is also more drastic than the Federal"
The city of Pendleton, adjoining the
Umatilla Indian Reservation, has been
Tor many years the central point of oper-
alton among those engaged in the whisky
business that produced large revenue for
the manipulators. So Systematically was
1t conducted that it became regarded as
regular industry, with its agents, stool
pigeons and professional witnesses, all
well trained in their various parts. There
were some genuine cases, and this very
fact was excuse enough TO extend the
business until it assumed scandalous
proportions.
Judge Bellinger's decision will cut of
fees from Deputy Marshals, United States
Commissioners, the Clerk of the United
States Court and the United States Dis
trict Attorney to the extent Of several
thousand dollars per annum.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Cunard line
steamer Campania, arriving this evening
from Liverpool and Queenstown. left
Daunts Rock at 12:45P. N. on August 18th,
and arrived at Sandy Hook lightship
at 5:45 p. NJ. to-day. Her time of passage
was 5 days, hours and 20 minutes.
which beats all previous records by

On the 10Th the steamer made the re-
markable good record of 545 knots. Tho
Campania's daily runs were 5l6. 52S. J43,

OMAHA, Aug. 17.-Not i'll month has
so much rain fallen along the lines of tho
Burlington and Union Pacific as that of
last night, in some cases soaking showers
being reported, while in others il was
steady downpour for several hours.
While the rain comes too late for corn, it
will help grass considerably, and that is
most needed by farmers in the drought
stricken districts of the State. AS a re-
suit of the exceedingly dry weather in
the South Platte sections, the Burlington
has reduced the rate on grain from Omaha
to interior points affected by the drought,
for the purpose of giving farmers who
are hard hit by hot winds chance to buy
grain to feed their stock. thus being per-
mitted to tide over preseut conditions.
The Union will follow the lead of the
Burlington, and will make the same rates
to common points as the Burlington.
The stories of distress being received
by the railroads are touching. one man
having killed thirty-fve head of horses
on Tuesday, near North Platte, rather
than allow them to starye. There are
numberless cases of this kind being re-
ported farmers being unable to give
stock away because of the inability OF
people to care for them properly after re-
ceiving them. The rain, however, of
last night, which was pretty general
throughout the western and southern
portions of Nebraska, may assist ma
terially liz checking the widespread
desolation of ruined crops, and therefore
ruined homes.

PRETORIA South Africa. Aug. 1.-THE
rebellion of the kaffirs is assuming
alarming proportions.
The Transvaal police detachment, which
has been attempting to relieve the garri-
son at Agatha, has been repulsed with Sc
rious loss. Emboldened by their success,
the Kaffirs pursued the retreating troop
ers and attacked the main column of the
Boer forces. The Kalfirs were driven
back, but the advance of the column was
retarded. From the Boer settlements all
along the Letaba River comes reports of
severe fighting between isolated parties
of retreating Beers and the Kaffirs, who
are burning Boer homesteads all along
the river.
The Beers are fleeing before the Kaffir
advance, taking all their portable prop
erty: but large quantities of provisions
and cattle have necessarily fallen into the
hands of the Kaffirs. The latter have
murdered number of Beers and their
wives and children, and the fiercest feel
ings of the Beers have been aroused
against the rebels. In all the disturbed
districts mail and passenger coaches have
been stopped, the passengers killed, the
coaches looted and destroyed and the
mules stolen.
The Murchison road is entirely closed.
The Kaf1irs are reported to have erected
a strong barricade across it at a point
