The action Of William ID. Rowland,

New Bedford Manufacturing Compan-

CHICAGO Aug n.-Mr Wickes Of the

which was construed as direct snub, in
formed Mr. Wiokes that he did not wish 70

The governor visited Pullman yesterday
afternoon and made u personal investign-
tion Of several cases Of destitution, and
found that the story Of practical starva-
tion had not been greatly ovsrdrawn. Al
ter the Investigation, the governor asked
General Manager Middleton Of the Pull
man company II he could suggest any so
luton TO the condition Of destitution and
starvation.
''The only thing we can do was the
answer, SIS to put the old men back TO
work as fast as vacancies occur"
"But that process II slow and uncer-
tain," replied Governor Altgeld, "and the
question is one OF immediate starvation.
Can't you put on Q few hundred of the
men and let them alternate until the con

common method, however, en-

One day last summer party
having considerable baggage dis
covered upon loading it into a
scOw at the end of one of the regular
"carries" that the boat leaked bad
ly. To delay for repair would &C.
casiOn considerable annoyance and
without repairs to proceed seemed
impossible.
At this junction one of the guides
said 81 think | can fix it. Just
unload the boat again" This was
done, and then the guide brought
from a sawmill near the spot a
quantity of sawdust. This he sprin-
killed. thickly upon the water on
either side of the boat.
"Now," continued he, "load up
again" This was done, and when
