SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. disappointment
ent T. j. m of the Southern Pacific
company, has modified his attitude towards
those engaged in the recent strike. just
after the strike he was quoted as saying
that none of the leading strikers would
ever obtain work in California if he could
help it. and if any secured positions he
would try to have them discharged. These
threats caused much indignation, and Pres
ident c. Il. Huntington wrote a sharp rep
rimand to him from New York. This letter
caused Mr.. Fillmore to make a supple
mentary statement in which he denies that
he said he would hunt down the ex-strikers
and deprive them of their positions.
Il am not interfering with any one
explained Mr.. Fillmore. 1.-THE men who de-
stroyed our property. stole our trains and
killed our employees are on the black list.
This list goes to other roads. 1t is a Gus
tom which has been in vogue for years"
IF an eX-striker can get work, you do
not propose to interfere. them" Mr.. FIJI
more was asked.
Certainly not" he replied. except so
far as the black list may come against
him. There are strikers now scattered all
over the state, picking fruit or hops"
A second letter has been received from
MIR. Huntington, in which he again referred
to Mr.. Fillmore's threats, saying: Il cam
not believe any one would say anything so
malicious and idiotic."

mony will be heard. The witnesses to-day
We're residents of Blue Island, where much
of the rioting occurred. But few of them
gave testimony of Importance.
W. ID. Fuller. the Rock Island railroad

land declared that he would help to do the
job If somebody would make the motion"
II. r. Saunders, a merchant. said he had
heard Howard make similar remarks at a
meeting of strikers. Saunders also swore
that owa had advised the men to kill
any scab that tries to go to work in strik-
erS places. Other witnesses testified in a
similar strain, and about forty were exam
ined. The majority of those called de-
clared they knew nothing about the strike
and were excused.

does not strike society here it'll great sur
prise. Incompatibility of temperament
alone is believed to be the cause. A socie-
ty man, who begged that his name be with
held, said: "Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt are
totally untitled for each other, and for sew
eral years they have led an unhappy ex-
istence, disagreeing upon the most trivial
matters. Yet Mrs. Vanderbilt is a clever,
even brilliant woman, and a person that is
well liked by many friends. Mr.. Wander
bilt is a most agreeable man, with whole
souled ideas. and yet upon matters unim-
portant as well as important they failed
to agree The speaker added that Mrs.
Vanderbilt was a strong-mrnded Southern
woman, with exclusive ideas. Mr.. Wander
bilt was open and free. He failed to agree
with Mrs. anderbilt in the exclusive charac-
ter of their house mere, and especially with
his wife's idea of surrounding it with high,
almost impenetrable walls.

ally would excite comment on account of
his great wealth and habit OF travelling
from place 10 place, some lines with ana
often without Mrs. Vanderbilt. Mrs. Van
derbilt is fond of society. and greatly adj
mired by women as we'll as men. she
found pleasure in entertaining and at times
thing. however. Until two years ago, when
II was currently reported in Newport
that Mr.. Vanderbilt had decided to
from Mrs. Vanderbilt. At that time a
friend Of Mr.. Vanderbilt, in explaining his
determination. said that Mrs. Vanderbilt
too much OF him.. and that he did not care
TO create a scandal If they could not
that time cannot say. Col. William Jay
and Mrs. Jay are depended upon by the
Vanderbilt family to make amicable ar
r~angements. Mrs: Jay has been an init
mate. confidential friend Of Mrs. Wander
bilt for years. while Colonel Jay has been
on equally good terms with William X.
Vanderbilt. The intimate friends of the
Nanderbilts are looking for successful re-
suits accruing from the good offices of the
Jays. L think that eventually each will be
brought about to view the matter in the
proper light and agree TO a reconciliation.
OF course. IL may be some time before this
end is reached. but L think that both even
now wish they had escaped the publicity
earned thus far"
Mrs. Vanderbilt was formerly a Miss
wealthy, as the Vanderbilts would consider
wealth. but what the Smiths Of Mobile
lacked IN money they made up IN tnelr
aristocratic lineage. One of Mrs. Wander
bits sisters married Fernando Yznlga,
whose sister. then V~iscountess Vaudeville,
is now the Dowager Duchess OF Manches-
ter, for whom Consuelo. the eldest of Mr..
and Mrs. Nanderbilt's children, iS named.
After this marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Wander
bilt went 10 Europe, and then the young
couple came to New York to settle down.
At the suggestion of his father the young
man began to build the palatial residence
at Fifth avenue and Fffty-second street,
which cost about $3.000.000. 1t is on the
corner above the Vanderbilt twin brown
stone mansion, built by William II. A
few years later he built the summer res
idence at Newport, which cost $1,000, O00,
andwh ich he gave TO his wife. They spent
a part Of each season in Europe. however.
If any lawyers on this side of the water
have been consulted in reference to a di-
yorce the fact has not yet been disclosed.
Several prominent law firms with whom
ten Nanderbhts are known to have had
dealings at some time or otherwi ii not
affirm or deny that they had been consulted
by either MIR. or Mrs. Vanderbilt on the
question of the trouble between them. Such
is the case with the firm of Evarts, Choate
* Beaman and of Jay & Chandler.

TREATMENT OF THE INSANE POOR.

The State Commission In Lunacy be-
gins to-day Its investigation Of the
charges of the bad and cruel treatment
of the insane poor in the city asylums.
1t is q terrible accusation to bring
against the city authorities, that Of neg
lecting and abusing the pauper insane.
The care of lunatics Is probably one Of
the hardest and most trying tasks hat
con be imposed on man. 1t requires not
only patience, endurance n unceasing
attention. but the broadcast kind of hui
Tanity. 1t Is @ severe trial both OF
physical and mental powers.
Charges ought not to be lightly made
against those on whom this difficult and
irksome duty Is imposed. At the same
time, only those peculiarly fitted for the
work ought to be intrusted with It.
None other ought to be employed In it.
for the reason that the incentives tc
neglect and violence are constant and
almost irresistible to those who are moi
gifted with extraordinary patience ant
endurance.
There Is only too mucl, reason to be
lieve thai the management Of our insane
asylums needs investigation. and that 1
will be found In many aspects objec
tionable. This must be the inevitable
consequence Of appointing keepers ant
others On political considerations.

AN INVESTIGATION DEMANDED.

The Lexow Committee has now an OPP
p~ortunity to investigate n matter not in
cluded In its police programme. but OF
very grave Importance, and which II
promptly and vigorously exposed may
prevent the consummation of an imam.
Gus crime.
The bill raising the salaries OF the po-
lice force two hundred dollars a year
was introduced. OF course. by a country
representative in the Legislature, Sena-
tor Coggeshall. of Oneida. 1t was OPP
posed by the authorities of the city gov
eminent. including the Mayor. the Comp
%troller, the Corporation Counsel and the
members of the Board OF Estimate and
Apportionment. Protests were submitted
against II by the Chamber Of Commerce,
the Good Government Clubs and the tax
payers generally. But the Republican
majority and the Tammany representa-
tives stood by Senator C%ogeshall. The
bill was passed and was approved by
10Y Flower.
The merits of the law are not now in
question. Blu II is known that the pass
age of the bill was secured by the use
and promise of money. 1t is alleged
that about forty thousand dollars In
cash was sent to Albany when the bill
was introduced and II Is now stated and
not contradlcted that an additional
eighty or eighty-five thousand dollars Is
to be raised by an assessment on the
force of twenty-five dollars ZACH man,
that being the amount agreed to be paid
provided the bill became a law. Some
Of the men object to paying the assess
ment and have appealed to Supt. Byrnes,
who promises to give the matter his at
tention.
The Committee has a plain and an i'm
perative duty to perform. Briblng the
Legislature Is declared to be an '1n-
famous crime" So is the taking OF a
bride.
The Committee should take up this mat
ter forthwith. 1t is not only one Of the
most serious charges that could be made
gains the police. but duplicates also the
Legislature. OF which the Lexow Com
mitteemen are members, and especially
reflects on any OF them who may have
voted for the Salary bill.
A prompt investigation may besides
stop the contamination OF the crime by
preventing the levying OF the ASSESS
ment.

INSANE MAN NOT Or. HOWARD.

BEGINNING OF THE TRIAL.

The Commission appointed to try the
charges against the Board Of Managers
Of the Elmira Reformatory held Its first
meeting at Elmira yesterday.
This Inquiry was conceded by Gov.
Flower mainly because the managers,
who had already been found guilty OF
official misconduct by the State Board of
Charities after a long and patient inves-
tigation. made oath before the Governor
that the inquiry of the Charities Board
had been ~prejudiced and partial. that the
evidence did not sustain the conclusions
reached and that the verdict was illegal.
untrue and unjust. This at least was one
Of the excuses made by Gov. Flower for
yielding to the demands Of the political
bosses for the protection Of the managers.
Yesterday Mr.. Coudert drew out from
the managers the fact that they had
eve read the evidence or the report In
the State Charities investigation and had
only sworn to Its illeBality. its untruth-
fulness and its injustice under the advice
OF their counsel 1t was also elected that
the suspension of Brockway during the
first trial had been q mere sham.
1t lie evident that Lawyer Coudert Is
earnest in his management of the prose-
cutior. and 1t is to be hoped that the
new trial will he short. sharp and decis-
i've. The cause OF humanity demands
that the attempt to screen the Elmira
torturer5 shall be defeated and that the
abhorrent reign of terror at the Reforma'
tory shall be ended forever.

Two Stylish Costumes.

A very stylish costume nowadays is
OF gr~ay-faced cloth. with a simply cut
shirt and Elton Jacket, not too short at
the waist, big revers and cuffs Of apple
green velvet, covered with a richly pat
termed guipure Of a creamy shade. This
has a waistcoat Of the gray cloth, to be
replaced on occasion by a soft shirt of
accordion-plaited cream silk. This cos
tune in biscuit color. with royal blue
in place Of the green, is lovely. The
other costume which demands notice IL
In Venetian red cord. This IL a very
curious material. green shot with red.
which gives a most artistic result and
would be very becoming to a certain
style Of brunette beauty. It has basque
and plastron of black MORE and a
draped skirt. caught back with straps,
fastened by large. richly embroidered
buttons.
