in the political history OF the state ever
existed than docs right now In Wayne

that he secured tho office he now oc.

to DO dough now, but no one in the
world can toll what scheme tho marshal

WASHINGTON, D. G., August l6.-It is
probable that tho Democrats OF tho sen.
ato may find it necessary to Oil tho va.
caucy on tho finance committee, now
that the supplemental bills have been
referred to that committee.
Indications now point strongly to the
collection OF Senator White, OF Califor.
mia, Il is stated upon good authority
TINT Senator Blackburn, who has boen
regarded as a strong probability. has
recommended the appointment OF Dir.
White.
There is q prospect that II the Ropub.
lican members OF tho senate finance
committee insist that tho Democrats
shall tiil the vacancy on tho committee
before action is taken on tho supplo'
mental tariff bills. tho Democratic soma
tors will have trouble In reaching u de-
cision upon that point. Whilo tho
question has not been taken up formally
by tho Democratic steering committee,
there is q general understanding that q
majority OF the Democratic senators
have united upon Senator White for the
place. Mr.. White is an advocate OF tho
tree coinage Of silver aud probably will
be opposed by senators who do not
agree with him on the subject. There
are also indications that tho Democratic
senators who arc opposed to the sup
Elemental bills will oppose any action
at this tlme on the ground that tho
place is too important to be filled In
any emergency like the present.

CmcAco, August 1B.-Ths frst wit
ness called before the government

Lorojoy. Rock Island railroad ex-om'
ployo from La Sale, Ill. Lovcjoy was
questioned as to tho cause Of the atrike
at La sallc and declared that the men
went out at that point because he was
uniustly discharged.
Secretary KcIiher, Of tho American
Railway Union, succeeded Loyejoy on
the stand. lie entered into detailed
statement Of tho troubles leading up to
the strike and was questioned closely
regarding tho proceedings Of the con-
vention at which tho boycott was de-
clared.
Secretary Keliher, when asked for his
views as to the boSt method for pro-
venting strikes, said that he firmly be-
loved government ownership OF rail-
roads would solve the problem. Next
10 that" ho continued. II think COM
pulsory arbitration would answer"
Afr. B. L. Ray, Of Rock Island, Ill,
was next callod. 1lo stated that the
strike at Rock leland was caused par
italy by tho Pullman strike and par
TALLY on account OF tho treatment no
had received at tho hands Of the Rock

with Kellher that government owner

He showed tablo OF the Pullman Com
pany's wages and claimed that wages
had been cut 90 per cent in the last two
years. Mr.. Heathcote also, exhibited
what ho claimed was black list Issued
by tho Pullman officials, requesting
other institutions to refuse 70 employ
tho men whose names appeared thereon.
Nliss jennie Curtis, preaident Of the
Girls Union at Pullman. testified that
hor father, before his death, was do.
linuuent In his rent to tho amount OF
500. The company compelled her to
assume the debt and sign o contract 70
pay 1t out OF her wages at tho ratio OF 50
a woek. Some weeks Bhe had 80 little
loft that sho could not pay board. In
1893 the company was paying its girls
223 conts an hour for sowing, and the
poorest seamstress earned 81 80 day.
Before tho strike tho best Of them had
got down TO 70 or so cents day, while
tho poorer ueedle-womeu could only
make 40 to 30 cents.
Theodore Rhode, representing. the
paintera' department had worked for
i2 years and had been gradually cut
down until he could not make 81 % q
day. Tho foremen abused tho mon and
the management experimented with the
materials until piece workers could
mako nothing. He had not applied for
work since tho strike, because tho COM
pany compelled every man to surrender
his card OF membership in the railway
union aud sign an agreement to have
nothing to do with any labor organtza.

The money mattor was offensive to
Mr.. Davis and ho, 10 one Of his grcat
