Strike Commission Completes It's Ex-
animation of Witnesses.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-The strike COM
mission completed its examination of
witnesses to day and adjourned until to-
morrow. At that time an opportunity
will be given for the Introduction Of
some rebuttal evidence, and ii is thought
probable that no more testimony viii be
heard. The witnesses today were resi-
dents Of Blue Island, where much Of the
rioting occurred. But few Of them gave
testimony Of Importance.
w. D. Fuller, the Rock Island railroad
agent at Blue Island. said that he had
attended a meeting at which Vice-Presi-
dent Howard of the A. r. Z. called
George NJ. Pullman vile names. How
ard said Pullman should be hanged"
said the witness, and declared that he
would help to do the job If somebody
would make the motion"
n. r. Saunders, a merchant. said he
had heard Howard make similar remarks
at a meeting Of strikers. Saunders also
swOre that Howard had advised the men
to kill any scab that tries to go to
work in the strikers places" Other wit
nesses testified in a similar strain and
about forty were examined The ma
iority Of those called declared they knew
nothing about the strike and were ex-

Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Nearly all

ing TO take advantage of the adjourn

Secretary Herbert is away already max
ing a tour of inspection Of the govern
ment navy yards and stations along the
north Atlantic coast. Secretary La
mOnt's respite will be with his family
at Bayview, Long Island. and all that
prevents Secretary Gresham from ar
ranging to temporarily put aside the
business of the state department Is that
there are few troublesome foreign
questions demanding his presence here
for a while at least He will shortly,
however, take a vacation, which will be
spent in part in fishing.
Attorney-General Olney viii spend his
vacation in and about Boston. He has
decided that il is too late in the season
to open his summer residence at Fail
mouth, Mass, and so with Mrs. Olney.
who is now in Peterborough, n ii. He
will remain quietly at his Boston home
during the three or four weeks he ex-
poets to be absent from Washington.
He hopes to be able to leave here today
or tomorrow. Secretary Carlisle has
made no arrangements for vacation
and it is expected that the administra-
ton of the new tariff act may keep him
here for some time yet.
Secretary Smith will spend ten days or
fortnight in Georgia. He has just re-
turned from a short vacation at Ocean
City, Nd, and will leave again early next
week. probably Monday evening, for his
state. He will visit at both Atlanta and
Athens, where his family returned last
Monday Georgia democrats expect him

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S.-The last day
of the second session of the Fifty-third
congress was attended by just a score
OF senators and a large concOurse of peo-
pie. who packed the galleries to their
fullest capacity. Most of those who
were in the galleries were ladies. There
Were also very many visiting Knights
of Pythias.
The diplomatic gallery was the only
one which WAS not occupied. Even the
aisles Of the galleries and the doorways
swarmed with visitors. on the floor
there was an air of relief at the APP
preaching close of the session visible on
the faces and in the demeanor Of those
who have been kept at their posts so
long. Chaplain Mccarthy. in a long
prayer. included not only the customary
officers of the government. the president
and vice-president and senators. but even
the senate pages and the venerable Isaac
Bassett in his appeal for grace.
All political differences and party bick-
erings We're laid aside for the time be-
ing, and those who a few weeks ago
were hurting bitter anathemas at each
other. were today laughing and joking
with each other in the friendliest posi-
BILE manner. \ message was received
from the house Immediately after the
reading of yesterdays journal and then
Mr.. Ransom of North Carolina offered
the customary resolution to notify the
president that the two houses were ready
10 adjourn. The resolution was agreed
70 and the vice-president appointed Mr..
Ransom and Mr.. Henderson of Nebraska
a committee on the part of the senate.
No other business of any Importance
was transacted and a recess was taken
until 1915 o'clock. At that hour the vice
president announced that the senate was
again in session. A message was re-
ceived from the house announcing the
death of Representative George b. Shaw
Of Wisconsin.
In the absence Of the two Wisconsin
senators Mr. White offered the custom
AIRY resolutions of regret and the vice
president appointed Senators Mitchell,
Cullom, Davis. Roach and Kyle to at
tend the funeral.

til 1870 p. m.

Harris, president pro tenn, and at 2
o'clock the Vice-president declared the

SHE WOULDN'T MARRY HIM.
Therefore He Cuts Her Throat and
Then Kills Himself.

BONHAM, Tex, Aug. PA horrible
double tragedy occurred here last night.
A man named Z. d. McNitt, who has
lost both legs and one hand, has lived
In Bonham for a year past and has
earned a living by peddling candy on
the street. Before coming here he lived
with family named Martin in Arkan-
sas. Martin and his wife separated. and
Mrs Martin came to this city with her
three children. McNitt followed her and
tried to get her to marry him. but she
persistently refused. McNitt finally be-
came half crazy with Jealousy, and last
night he procured a room in the house
where Mrs. Martin lived. This morning
Mrs. Martin was found on the floor by
her bed in a pool of blood with her
throat cut from ear TO ear. and by her
side with one arm around her waist and
in his other hand a bloody razor lay
McNitt with a great cash in his throat
and also dead On a chair near by lay
an ak. 1t is supposed that McNitt en-
tered the room, struck the woman with
the ak, then pulled her of the bed, cut
her throat with the razor and ended hif
own life with the same instrument.

GOOD CROPS IN INDIANA.
But Farmers in Several Western
States VIII Suffer.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-President Lyman
]. Gage Of the First national bank has re-
ceived reports on the condition of the
crops from nearly every county in the
states of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and
North and South Dakota. These reports
were made by bankers In the several
counties. and are believed to be absolutely
accurate. The reports of the condition of
the crops from the government and other
sources were so conflicting that President
Gage determined to have a canvass made
himself for the guidance Of his bank.
The states Of Indiana. Ohio and Mis-
souri, were not covered at all. as all agree
that the yields in these states viii be
above the average, though there will be
bare spots in some localities.
Mr.. Cages conclusion, from the reports,
is that there will be suffering in western
Kansas and Nebraska, where the crops
practically have been a total failure, and
the farmers will require assistance from
the outside to enable them to get through
the winter.

SAYS 1T Is VICIOUS.
Roosevelt DenOunces One of Con-
gressIDan Bynum's Measures.

SreSSIDan Bynum's Measures.
Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt
today, in an interview on civil service
matters, said that the commission was
now on far better footing than
ever before This was due to
the fact that the commission,
under legislation pushed by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts and Senator
Cockren of Missouri, hereafter would
have it's own force of clerks instead of
being dependent on clerks detailed TO it
by the several government departments.
The civil service commissioner de-
nounced the Bynum bill for the reinstate--
ment of the democratic railway mail
clerks. dismissed prior to the classified
ton of the railway mail service under
the civil service system in 1883, as thor
oughy vicious partisan measure, say
ing: IF it should become law it would
be a precedent for the enactment of SINH
lar measures whenever change OF ad-
ministratiOn took place. 1t is introduced
purely in the interest of the spoils-mong-
er and is a thoroughly vicious bill in
every way"
Then" Mr.. Roosevelt went on, 81 wish
to call attention to the recent decision
of the encouragement which permits so
licitatiOn for political purposes by letter
in government buildings. If this opinion
holds the commission must Immediately
request the passage of law to prohibit
such solicitation. The commission has al
ways insisted that solicitation for political
purposes was illegal whether done in
person or by letter in government build
ing 1t was owing to this Interpretation
that we We're able TO verv nearly break
up the practice during the last presidential
campaign, and as the aftermath of that
campaign we have procured the convic-
ton of two government officials, one
postmaster in Ohio and the other a deputy
internal revenue officer Of Kentucky, but
we have never had a case tried in the
court where the accusation was that the
solicitation was by letter.

SEVENTEEN FAMILIES HOMELESS.
The Little Town of Vesper Com
pIeteIy Wiped Out.

pIeteIy Wiped Out.
MARSHFTELD Wis, Aug 29.-The
Port Edwards train arrived here today
bringing additional news Of the burn
ing of vesper. The town is completely
wiped out, entailing a loss of about
$50 600. as follows: About nine million
feet of lumber and the large saw and
planning mill belonging to the Sherry
Cameron lumber company, seventeen
dwelling houses. two box cars and the
depot of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul railway and three box cars of the
Port Edwards, Centralia & Northern
railway The stock, lumber and mills
of the Sherry Cameron company is re-
ported TO be fully insured. The fire
that wiped out Vesper has been burning
in that vicinity the last two weeks, but
at no time did it have a threatening
appearance. The high wind drove Il be-
yond control, and like a whirlwind X
broke over the little place in such fury
as to render all attempts to save prop
erty useless. Seventeen families en-
ployed in the mills are homeless, and
as the timber contiguous TO the town
burned UP the place will never be re-
built A relief train was made no, but
could come no nearer than a mile be-
vOnd the doomed village, the flames
overlapping the road further on. The
Sherry-Cameron company commenced
opera tons there eighteen years ago, and
two months ago finished the seasons
cut, since which time there has been in
operation the planning mills employing
between forty and fifty men.

FORD THEATER DISASTER.
Joint Committee VIII Investigate IL
i'm November.

The joint committee of congress to ex-
anime into the liability of the govern
ment for the Ford's theater disas-
ter will not DO any business I'M
til the first week before the as
sembiing of congress in December. 1t
has been arranged that about the mid
die of November the members OF the
committee will return TO Washington
and begin the investigation with view
of having the report ready when con-
gress meets in December.
A senate committee has already made
an investigation, and il was upon the
report submitted by Senator Henderson
that the senate inserted in the sundry
civil bill appropriations of $1,000 each
for the families of those who had lost
their lives i'm the disaster II IS the IN
tentiOn of the committee to investigate
and make recommendations not only as
to the families of the dead, but for those
who were injured. if the liability OF the
government is established.
As to Sugar BOunties.
The secretary of the treasury has de-
cided that under the terms of the new
tariff bill payments of sugar bountes
on claims already filed cannot be legally
made. Sec. 1882 Of the new act provides,
among other things, that hereafter II
shall be unlawful to issue any license
TO produce sugar or to pay any bounty
for the production Of sugar of any kind
under the act approved Oct. i, 1890.
1t is not denied that persons who have
filed claims for sugar produced during
the last year may not have a just claim
against the government. the only con-
tention being that under the terms of
the new law il is made illegal for the
secretary TO pay them. Even if the
claims have been allowed by the depart
ment they cannot be liquidated. 1t is
presumed however. that all producers
having claims for bounty win prosecute
them in the court of claims.
