One Was Caused by Cave-in and the
Others by Falls from High Buildings.
George Washington, a colored laborer,
thirty-fve years old. in the employ of Ex-
cavater Peter r. Pullman, was struck and in
stantIy killed by falling dirt bank yesterday
afternoon while e1cavating for q cellar in
house No. oil Third street northeast.
As quickly as possible the other workmen,
who had not been injured, began shovelling
the dirt away In order to rescue their COM
panion. In less than three minutes the body
was recovered, hut life was extinct. Death
was caused by suffocation.
Coroner Woodward was notified. bnt after
hearing a statement Of the facts decided an
inquest was unnecessary.
Robert Watson, workman In terra Gotta,
was struck and instantly killed yesterday
afternoon in the new Schneider fats, on Q
street near Seventeenth. by descending ele
vator. He was walking on the eleventh floor
and had occasion to attend TO some material
on the floor below. In so doing his mead pro-
truded over the elevator shaft and was struck
by the edge Of the elevator platform. He fell
$50 feet to the basement below, and landed
on his head with such force as to split two
inch-thick pine plank. Coroner Woodward

Is THIS JUsTICEl

The Atchison. Topeka, and Santa Fe Rail-
road. one Of the most powerful corporations
In the West, has issued instructions that all
employees must contract not to belong to labor
organizations under penalty of immediate
dismissal and forfeiture OF such pay as may be
dusthem at the time the violation oithe contract
Is made known to the company. The reason
given for this outrageous demand is that the
company proposes to prevent strikes by refus-
ing to employ members OF labor organiza-
tions.
tions from robbing employees of their inde-
pendsnce, and necessity may compel wage
earners to accept the humiliating conditions
imposed by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad, but popular sentiment will not
uphold such an outrage, and in time State
legislatures will find a way to protect the
rights of people who are obliged to labor at
almost any sacrifice.
Employers need not fear strikes so long as
they treat wage-earners fairly. Competition
in labor is SO great that nothing but despera-
tion will cause an employe to give up his po-
sition, but there is limit to human endur-
ance, and when that limit is reached rebellion
agsinst oppressive conditions is the conse-
quence.
Nearly every wage-earner in the United
States has seen his pay cut down from time to
time, and the old story that trade is dull and
labor plenty, that il he don't care to work he
can quit has become wearisome and exasper-
ating. Labor unions and desperate attempt
to maintain wages and retain positions have
been the result, and now this new departure
Of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road complica.es and makes the situation
worss.
No employer has the moral right to impose
conditions upon a wage-earner other than
such as relate to the faithful discharge of his
duties. He may belong to q church, secret
society, labor organization, or not, as his
conscience dictates, SO long as he is attentive
and industrious and earns the wages for
which he labors. His fealty to an employer
ceases when his work is performed, and that
is the sum total of his obligation. Nor has
an employer legal authority to enforce con-
tract that will deprive him of wages already
earned.
Labor organizations must learn to use their
power to secure equitable legislation. At
present employers have the advantage and
will use 1t as the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa
Fe Railroad, but wags-earners have the votes,
and by using them judiciously they can elect
men to legislative Office who will prevent the
repetition Of such outrages.

ANTI-LOTTERY BILL.
Senator Hoar's IroncIad Measure May
Become Law This Session.

Senator Hoar's IroncIad Measure May
Become a Law This Session.
There is strong probability that Senator
Hoar's ironclad anti-lottery bill which passed
the Senate will become law II its supporters
can secure recognition for 1t this session.
The bill is new in the hands Of a sub-com-
mittee composed OF Representatives Broder-
ick of Kansas, Bailey Of Texas, and Good
night of Kentucky, who will endeavor to re-
port it to the Judiciary Committee tomorrow.
1t applies to express companies as well
as the mails and makes it criminal for any
one to cause lottery tickets to be brought into
the United States. There is some opposition
to the bill from Representatives, who point
out infringement Of personal rights in the
measure. Mr.. Broderick is particularly in
terested in the matter, because Of a lottery
company doing business mainly by express is
gaining hold in Kansas.

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

A constitutional amendment is pending in
New York prohibiting public officers from ac-
cepting passes on railroads, which at best is
nothing but mild form Of bribery. Second
Vice President Brooke. OF the Pennsylvania
road, has this to say OF the custom:
There was a time when public officials were
content 10 receive occasionally trip pass for
themselves. They have learned to ask for passes
for themselves, for members of their families
and for political adherents and others. They not
only ask for trip passes for themselves and
friends, but they ask for annual passes for
themselves and friends, and no matter how
many passes may be granted TO a single indi-
vidual If q single request be refused, the enmity
of that official is aroused and his vengeance
exercised II he has an opportunity so to do
~ have known a member of the Supreme
Court Of the United States to apply for FREQ
transportation, the money value OF which in a
single instance was between 500 and 5000 Gov
ernors Of States, United States Senators, men,
bers Of the House of Representatives, members
of every department of State governments, from
the Governor TO the tanitor, ask and expect to
receive these favors"
It is safe to say that large number Of SEN
ators and Representatives annually ride to
aAo iIom SOnkreSs On railroad passes, ana
that they also draw mileage from the govern
ment on vouchers which state that the
amount was actually expended for trans
portation. And 1t is also true that, in addi-
ton to the falsehood to which these Senators
and Representatives certify, they place them
selves under obligations to railroad corpora
tons by voluntarily soliciting the passes.
The solicitation of passes is not the worst
offense of Senators and Representatives
They accep: fees as counsel to railroads with
the implied understanding that in all railroad
legislation their votes and influence shall be
used in favor of their clients. To the public
this h q serious matter, for railroads are al
ways grasping corporations with interests
conflicting with their patrons, the public, and
instead Of going before Congress to be heard
In fair and impartial manner, their case is
already decided.
A general law prohibiting the use OF passes
by public officers and preventing the employ
ment Of Legislators as counsel by corporations
that do business with the public, should be
enacted by Congress and every State in the
Union. A stop should be put to this method
OF bribing public officers as speedily as pos
sible, and New York has not begun the reform
any too soon.

THE NIcARAauAN CANAL.

The maritime canal Of Nicaragua will soon
engage the attention of Congress, and a brief
summary of the part the United States is ex-
pected to play in this gigantic scheme may
prove interesting.

ary Of the Treasury that all of its stock hereto

FIGHT FOR THEIR PRIVILEGES.

Government Of the Great Falls Water Op.
posed by q Manufacturing Company.
The Great Falls Manufacturing Company
has lodged petition against the taking of
their water privileges by the Government,
and ask to have Senate bill 1882 providing
therefore and already reported. recommitted.
The company urge that the water supply for
domestic purposes at Great Falls will shortly
have to be abandoned and object to the tax
ing by the Government of water rights
which may be required for other purposes,
and declare the Government has no right to
take property under eminent domain except
for public purposes.
The company adds that the result Of the
bill would be to deprive inhabitants of Viz
ginia, Maryland, and the District, in the
neighborhood OF the Falls, of valuable indus
trial advantages to accrue from the use of the
Falls. The petition further declares that the
property has become Of great value owing to
the fact that charters were obtained from the
States of Maryland and Virginia this spring,
and that 1t was intended to build up i'm
portant commercial interests by generating
and transmitting electricity by the company.
The company adds that 1t had prepared plans
for dams and power plant and abundantly
able to carry them out.

STUMP OPPOSES 1T.
The Commissioner Argues Against the
House Immigration Bill.

The Commissioner Argues Against the
House Immigration Bill.
The Senate Committee on Immigration yes
terday had under consideration the bill, which
has passed the House, providing for the in
spection of immigrants by United States con-
suls. The committee listened to an argument
against the bill by Commissioner of Immigra-
ton Stump. but did not take action upon it.
Mr.. Stump, representing the views Of Sec
retar1es Gresham and Carlisle, stated that i'm
migration had decreased during the past two
years from 440. 900 to not more than half that
number and he contended that II the pend
ing bill, requiring certificates from United
States consrls, should become law immi-
grafton would cease almost entirely.
Representative Geissenhainer, chairman Of
the House Committee on Immigration and
Naturalization, and s. C. Neal, representing
the New YORK steamship companies, also
appeared in opposition to the bill. Senators
Chandler, Squire. Proctor and Dubois. all Of
whom were present. expressed themselves as
favorable to the BILL while Senator Hill ap-
peared to be in doubt as to the proper course
to pursue. No vote was pressed for, owing
to the absence Of all the Democratic members
Of the committee except the chairman.

PREPARE TO SNELTER.
Hottest Weather of the Season Will lie
Experienced In and About Wash
iugton for Several Days,

Fagged-out and perspiring people who have
vigorous mopping and plying their palm
leaves should not prepare to cease these
pleasant personal attentions. On the con-
trary. these should grid themselves for q
tougher fight than ever to-day with the fiery
hend of summer heat which has been playing
such havoc with starched linen the last few
days for the expected hot wave is due to-
day. probably abont noon.
This is the belief OF Forecaster Garnott of
the Weather Bureau, who after a study of his
charts and advices from heat-afected points
is able to accurately gauge the movements of
the hot wave and indicate the probable time
OF its arrival here
The wave of torrid heat which is rapidly
travelling eastward, had its rise three DAYS
ago in an area whose center was at Des
Moines. Iowa, and whose expanding rim cir
cumscribed territory taking in the States OF
Iowa, Nebraska. Kansas, and the Dakotas.
Over and within these States degree OF heat
has been developed far in excess Of all prec-
edents. This is evinced by the following
thermometrical records: Huron. S. D., l0S
degrees; Valentine, Neb., LOG degrees, and
Des Moines, Iowa. Concordia, Kans., and
Pierre. S. D., 10I degrees.
This accession OF intense heat Is attributed
10 tno utEtlOplnent sOue uayS ago III the ro-
gion noted of deep depression, central at
Des Moines, being vast mass of vaporous
heat, toward which the atmosphere was at
tracted from all directions.
Guided by the law which usually governs
the development and movements Of such heat
centers this cloud OF flre-laden vapors began
a slow move eastwardly, widening its rim as
it advanced. From latest accounts available
last night it had spread itself well over the
country, its more fiery darts being directed
southwesterly.
While it is expected that the hot wave will
be of unusual intensity it is cheering { relate
that it is not expected to last long. The an
ticipation is that it will Of its own heat en-
gender a series ofthunder and rain storms,
which will serve to scatter its particles and
produce cooler weather. 1t is already re-
ported that wave Of decided GOODNESS is fol-
lowing in the wake Of the hot visitor. and
those places which experienced the hottest
temperature earlier in the week are already
enjoying the boon Of light, refreshing breezes.
The temperature In Washington yesterday
reached the highest notch of the week, 95
degrees being the maximum reported
p. m. At s in the morning it was a. and at
noon the mercury had crawled 20 the 80
notch. At O'Clock the highest recorded for
Thursday was reached-94 degrees.

PUSHING TOWARD THE POLE
Wellman Party Reported Near the
Pack Ice, and Full of Hope.
RIVAL OF NANSEN AND JACKSON
Upon Arctic Explorations-Greater Part
Of the Journey t, be Made on the lee In
sledges Drawn by Dogs and Ponies.

LONDON, July 27.-Carl Siewers, the Nor
wegian arctic enthusiast, tonight received
telegram from the captain of the Erling, a
Norwegian sealer, which arrived to-day at
the Island Of Tromsoe, Finmark, Norway.
The captain OF the sealer said in his dispatch
that near Amsterdam Island, In lat. "a n,
the Erlins spoke the Ragnvsld Jari. the
steamer which was conveying the Wellman or
American arctic expedition to the edge Of the
pack ice. Tho Ragnvald Jarl. in reply to
signals. asked to be reported at the nearest
place the Erling touched, saying that all were
we'll on board.
The sigcal from the Ragnvald Jarl was:
"Please report nearest touching place. All
well on board Ragnvald Jarl and full Of
hope"
The Ragnvald Jarl, the captain of the Erl-
ing telegraphed, had been beset by pack ice.
which had delayed her progress considerably.
But, the sealer captain added, Wellman and
his party were then free Of the pack ice and
they should now be well on their way to the
North Pole.
This cheering news has delighted every
body interested In Arctic exploration and fur
ther news from the Wellman expedition will
be awaited with great deal Of interest, as
people are beginning to really believe that
with Nansen, Jackson. and Wellman striving
for the honor of planting their flags at or nea.
the Pole, something away ahead Of anything
before accomplished may be recorded this
year.
The Jackson (English) expedition, which
passed Tromsoe yesterday, is fitted out very
much after the manner Of the American party,
under Wellman, with aluminium boats, ETC., and
they also will leave their ship, the Windward,
at the edge of the packed ice and make
systematic. determined effort to reach the
pole. The English expedition, like the Amer
lean party, has with it boats which can be
used as sledges; but the Englishmen will also
use eighteen other sledges, combining extra
ordinary strength and nghtness, which will
be drawn by Siberian dogs and Siberian
ponies, accustomed to working in very cold
regions. Tho Jackson expedition carries
with it three collapsiblo tents weighing thirty
pounds apiece, zach capable OF accommodate
ing six men.
The English expedition will obtain light,
cooking facilities, and warmth from . stock
Of methylated spirit, sixty above proof. which
will defy any declensiOn OF temperature.
After landing the Jackson party in Franz
Josef Land, the Windward will come homo
and return for the explorers In the summer Of
1896. The latter hope by successive stages
and by establishing a line Of communication
between supply depors, which will be formed
at all convenient points, to be able to advance
600 or 7o0 miles inland.
