U. S. A, who assaulted Colonel Crotton

1T MAY BE REVIVED.
Life of the Old TranscontinentaI
Association.
Some Guessing as to Who Will Sue
ceed to the Presidency of
the Lake Shore.

CHICAGO, Aug 27. - The transconti-
mental lines met to-day TO consider the
advisability of reviving the old Trans
continental Association. Nothing was
done except TO appoint a committee of
representatives from the Southern Pacific,
Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific, Great
Northern. Rock Island ana Rio Grande
Western to draw up plan for the forma-
tion of an association and report it to the
general managers tomorrow.
The Atchison was represented at the
meeting, but il is understood that it is
opposed at the present time to becoming a
member of the association under any
terms. though it has practically said il will
not turn over any organization that the
other lines may see fit 20 arrange.
Among the names mentioned among
Chicago railroad men as the successor of
President Newell of the Lake Shore are
President Jeffery of the Denver and Rio
Graude and John McGann, late general
manager Of the Chicago and Great West
erD, the man who was at the head of the
General Managers Association during the
strike.
General Manager Jeffery is considered
the most probable selection, as it is known
be stands well with the Vanderbilts. 1t
is almost certain, however, that the posi-
tons OF president and general manager,
which were filed by Mr.. Newell, will be
filled by separate appointments, and no
attempt will be made TO combine them, as
was done in the case of Mr.. Newell.
Nothing definite is known as yet, how
ever. as to the probable appointments, all
being rumor. 1t is very generally believed
no man on the Lake Shore will be ap-
pointed to either position.
OMAHA, Nebr.. Aug. 27.-Omaha rail-
road headquarters are considerably dis
turbed over the mutiDy of transconti-
mental railroad represen tatlves at Chicago
to-day. Local representatives think that
in all the discussion that has been going
on since the meeting was called a strong
factor has been seemingly overlooked (the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany) and the part it would play in the
formation of the association. 1t is well
known here that p. c. Mcneil! is deter
mined 10 make a paying property of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company
if such thing is possible, and he means
to secure business. The tie-up with the
Great Northern, Omaha railroad men
think, warrants the prediction that the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company
will become a scalping road. II such a
thing should occur it would seriously in
terfere with rates On the Northern Pacific
and Southern Pacific.

FEELING THEIR WAY.
Lake Steamers Sailing Through
Smoke.
Forest Fires Prove an Element of
Great Danger to Naviga-
tion.

CHICAGO. Aug. 27.-Lake Michigan has
been com Dletely enveloped by thick clouds
of smoke caused by forest fires in Wis
eonsin and Northern Michigan for the
past three days that have limited the
range of vision to a quarter OF a mile 10
every direction. Through this the sun
shone like ball of fire, and the footing of
the fog signals out on the water sounded
moDotOn0usly at short intervals. Naviga-
tiOn on the lake was attended with dan
gers, as captains OF steamers could not see
other boats half a dozen lengths ahead
and had TO run slow aud sound the fog sig
nal constantly.
All boats iD arriving were .everal hours
late. and there were many inquiries for
steamers which were due, but which were
still cropping around out on the lake. Lake
captains, after comparing notes, came to
the conclusion that this was the thickest
smoke on this end of the lake from forest
fires that they have known for several
years. The captains of arriving steamers
all had stories to tell OF the difficulties of
navigation in the smoke. For MANY days
the smoke has been very heavy over the
lower end of the lake, but the prevailing
south winds kept it away from this part of
the lake.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 27.-The pail of
smoke which has enshrouded not only the
waters of Lake Michigan but the entire
city. exceeded anything before known.
Fog could not have been much denser and
obscuring than the smoke from the forest
fires. Vessels have to feel their way with
the land. The passenger steamers Vir-
ginia and Columbus. with large excursion
parties from Chicago, were each one hour
behind the usual time on account of the
smoke conditions. No STANDINGS have oc-
Cured as far as known.

''Was your salary reduced. Mr.. Pull.
man?'
The witness replied it had not been.
Nor the salaries of superintendents or
foremen?"
No"
'Why?"
Pullman said 1t was not good policy to
reduce the salaries of high officials because
men of their caliber were not easily re-
placed.
Pullman was then excused and Vice
President Wickes called. He rehearsed
the history of the strike and the part he
played in it. Mr.. Wickes' evidence was
mainly corroborative of the statements
made by Pullman.
Manager Bryant OF the bank at Pullman
was particular to state that he was not an
employe of the Pullman Company, as the
bank was owned by the Pullman South
ern Car Company, but later admitted that
the latter company is controlled by the
Palace Car Company.
Bryant said the capital stock of the
bank was 100000, and in July, 1898, the
deposits amounted to about S65S, OOO.
Two Thousand two hundred and forty-tive
depositors were Pullman employees, aDd
their accounts averaged S24O. Iu July,
1894. the deposits amounted to S453 900,
with only 1914 employees accounts, which
averaged S270. Witness said Pullman
Worknen were paid in checks. Each
mouth they were given two checks, one
representing the amount of rent due, the
other the balance of wages.
ut is just sort of gentle reminder
that the rent is DUE" suggested Commits
siOner Herman.
ut is simply for the mems convenience"
witness persisted.
Bryant was rigidly examined as to the
methods of the company in collecting back
rent.
Bryant was asked about the case of
Jennie Curtis, Pullman employe. who
had claimed that she had been compelled
to pay back rent due. The witness said
the company had not compelled Miss Cur

that the reports of suffering had been
grossly exaggerated. He had visited forty
houses. he said, and found no destitution
andno distress. The men had told him that
they had no real grievances, he declared,
and had no real cause for stalking. DIR.
Heaton did not believe that compulsory
arbitration would prevent strikes, and gave
as his reason that one side of such con-
troversies. the laboring men, were not re-
sponsible, and that any agreement tnat
might be reached would be liable to viola
ton. The clergyman said that the proper
method of preventing strikes was to build
