Chicago, Nov. 24.-Eugene V. Debs
spoke In Central music hall last night
to an audience that taxed the seating
and standing capacity Of the hall.
Most of the leading labor %organiza-
lions were represented, and the re-
| ceptinn accorded to the leader of the
| American Reilway union was enthusi-
! astic in the extreme. ..
Eight car loads Of Debs' friends
went down to Woodstock to greet him
on his release from Jail after serving
six months, and several thousand men
were at the station Of the Northwest
ern road when the train bearing Debs
and his friends arrived at 1870 O'Clock.
The reception given Debs as he
stepped hom the train bordered on
the frantic. Hundreds Of men pushed
and struggled to get a grasp of his
hand, many Of them Rugged him, and
some went to the length of kissing
him. Finally he was tossed up to the
shoulders of -four men and followed by
a dense throng that never for one in
slant stopped its shouts and cheers, he
was escorted to the hall about one
mile distant. The warmth of the re-
ception given him at the depot was re-
peated when he entered the hall, with
the exception that the men were I'M
able to get close to him and contented
themselves with cheering and waving
their hats. The speech delivered by
Debs was received with great ap-
plause.
I neLs' Speech.
He commenced T. saying that in the
light of recent JUG procer "ngs he
stood stripped Of his constitutional
rights as q free man and shorn Of the
most sacred p~rerogative of American
citizenship, and that was true of ev-
cry other citizen who had the temerity
to protest against corporation rule or
question the absolute sway Of the
money power. 1t was not the law nor
the administration of the law OF which
he complained. 1t was the fragrant vi.
olation Of the constitution, the total
abrOgatiOn of law and the usurpation
Of judicial and despotic power by vir.
tue of which he and his colleagues
were committed to Jail against which
he entered his protest, ard any honest
analysis Of the proceedings must sus
tain the haggard truth Of the indict'
ment. He had been denied a trial. He
was charged now with conspiracy, and
If guilty should go to the penitentiary
He wanted to be tried by a jury OF
his peers, and all he asked was a fair
trial and TO favor. (The conspiracy
case is still undisposed Of in the
United States court.) He then spoke
at great length of personal liberty
and I'm defense Of the American Rail
way union, saying it would have tri,
umphed but for the interference OF
the federal authorities. which he char
acterized as IAN exhibition of the de
bauching power of money"
This demonstration, he said. meant
that the American voters of liberty
were setting in operation forces to
rescue their constitutional liberties
from the grasp Of monopoly and its
mercenary hirelings; that the people
were aroused in view of impending
perils, and that agitation. organization
and unifcation were to be the future
battle cries Of men who would not part
with their birthright, and who, like
Patrick Henry, had the courage to ex'
claim: Give me liberty or give me
death"

f. S. Spring Presents a Sensational
Affidavit to the Directors.
The board of directors of the CONSOLE
dated California and Virginia Mining
Company met yesterday to consider the
charges made by E. S. Spring, one of the
large shareholders, against D. B. Lyman,
the superintendent of the mine. Mr..
Spring charges the superintendent with
being incompetent and having misman-
aged the mine. Also that he had gambled
in mining stocks.
At the meeting yesterday were: Charles
Fl. Fish. Cornelius O'Connor, Nat T. Mes
ser, A. Zadig, George R. Wells, Secretary
A. w. Ravens and others.
Mr.. Spring demanded that Superin-
tendent Lyman's account of stock specu-
lations as furnished to him by his brokers
be produced and recorded as q part of the
minutes of the meeting. His demand was
denied, whereupon he stated that he
wanted to prove that Lyman bought and
sold stock at the times in which he gave
favorable and unfavorable reports of the
condition of the mine to the shareholders.
Spring presented an affidavit furnished by
Henry Newton, j. w. Burling, +. F.
Strather and Emil Cachat, which set forth
that Director Zadig had had transactions
with them as broker in stocks and had
frequently displayed private letters to
them from the superintendent relative to
the condition of the mine in order to in
duce them to deal in his Office. The
affidavit produced sensation.
Director O'Connor presented his resigna-
ton as director, but it is said his resig-
nation was not caused in any way by the
investigation. The case will be taken up
to-day. if Mr.. O'Connor's successor is
selected.

cision in the steel rail cases has strength
ened him in his opinion.
In the steel rail matter it meant a ques-
ton of over Sc, 900 to Uncle Sam, but
should Judge McKenna sustain the con-
tention of Naval Officer Irish it will mean
twice that sum gained for the treasury of
the United States.
In order that no loophole should be left
uncovered Colonel Irish sent to the United
States Consul at Patros in the island of
Zante and had vine sent out to San
Francisco as an exhibit to be used in the
case. A plant on which were the fruit and
foliage was procured, packed in cork shaw
ings and shipped to San Francisco. They
will be used as an exhibit during the COM
ing trial. and will go far to show that the
Zante currant is vine and not bush.
The first contest over the matter was
brought by Austin & Co. OF New York
They held that their importatons al
though known as Zante currants were not
from the island of Zante but an ad jacent
island in the Grecian archipelago, and
that furthermore they were not dried
grapes and therefore not dutiable. The
Board of General Appraisers upheld the
contention and the goods were admitted
duty free.
This seemed to settle the question, but
John 7. Irish thought differently. When
S. l.. Jones & Co. imported a quantity of
the currants he objected to admitting
them unless the duty was paid. Jones &
Co. appealed and the Board of General
Appraisers upheld them. Irish has APP
pealed to the Circuit Court. The outcome
is being watched very closely by merchants

the secretary be adopted and published as the
rates of transportation OF grain WITHIN the
State, and that copy be served on the southern
Pacific Company.
After some discussion as to what action
should be taken with the points not in
cluded in this schedule it was decided that
an amendment to the main schedule
would be adopted later, including all
points not affected at present.
The reductions were based on what is
known as grain tariff No. 2.
Commissioner Stanton put his PROPOSE
adopted. by unanimous vote of the COM
mission.
Then came up the matter of adjusting
the determinations, and on the motion of
La Rue the matter was continued for one
week.
Stanton then moved that Chairman La
Rue be appointed to look after the printing
and have $50 copies of the new schedule
printed. The motion was unanimously
adopted.
La Rue-How about the publication l am
not just clear as to what is meant by it. Does
the printing mean publication
Stanton-I am not posted on that myself.
La Rue-I believe that when the schedule is
adopted and made public and when copy is
served on the company the required twenty
days notice begins to run. 1t must, however,
be printed notice. l will see the State Printer
tomorrow, and if I find he cannot get the
work done quickly will see the members OF
the Board OF Examiners and try to get their
consent to have the work done outside.
Adjournment was then taken until
Wednesday, Septemb Der 25, at 1 P. NJ.
The reduction of 25 per cent on all COM
modities will not be taken up until the
grain schedule is done with. The basis of
these reductions will be the freight revenue
of the Southern Pacific Company for 1884,
and rates will be so arranged as to reduce
the gross revenues from freight Is per cent.

NEW GRAIN RATES.
The Revised Schedule Adopted
by the Railroad Com
mission

Another important step was taken by
the Board of Railroad Commissioners yes
terday, looking toward giving the farmers
of the State reduced rate on grain. This
was the adoption of the schedule of revised
rates making the per cent reduction.
Before this matter was taken up the
boards attention was directed to another
supplemental petition received from 1.-The
Sacramento employees of the Southern
Pacific, protesting against any reduction in
rates owing to the danger that would arise,
it was claimed, to the rates of wages.
The secretary was then asked If he had
prepared the schedule of revised grain
rates, based on the sper cent reduction. He
replied that he had and that every grain
shipping point had been included, except
few on the coast division, from San Luis
Obispo to Guadalupe, and the new stations
recently created. The rates were from all
shipping points to tidewater only.
Commissioner Stanton then remarked:

A PASTORS RESIGNATION,
Rev. Leslie w. Sprague Leaves
the Second Unitarian
Church.
He VIII Accept One of Several
Good Offers From the East.
His Wife'S Work.

The trustees of the Second Unitarian
Church held a special meeting at the
church last evening for the purpose of
considering the resignation of the pastor,
Rev. Leslie W. Sprague
Through the earnest request of the pas
tor, expressed to the members of the board
In personal conversation, the resignation
was accepted.
A committee was appointed to draft
resolutions concerning the services of Mr..
Sprague and his wife, and these will be
submitted to the congregation on Sunday
evening, after action is taken upon the re-
port of the trustees.
Mr.. Sprague assigned as his reason for
Withdrawing from the church that his
plans for the past two years had contem-
plated passionate in the East, and that he
had remained with the church longer than
he had intended because he wanted it to
gain strength needed for the transition
state that accompanies a change of pastors.
The rules of the Unitarian Society re-
quire that minister give three months
notice before his departure, and in accord
ance with that requirement Mr.. Sprague
will give the major portion OF his time to
his present charge until the middle of De-
cember. During that time various candi-
dates, who will be considered later by the
trustees, will preach in the church on
Twentieth and Capp streets.
Connected with the story, although
having, he says, no direct bearing upon
Mr.. Sprague's resignation, is semi
ecclesiastical romance.
Mr.. Sprague wooed Miss Lila Frost while
they were both students of the Meadville
Theological Seminary and welded her
soon after their graduation in 1890. They
were ordained to the ministry shortly after
their marriage, and she has been his as
sistant in his passionate at Monroe, Wis,
in Iowa, in Pomona and in the Second
Unitarian Church of this City. Her
duties though not as onerous as those of
her husband, have been faithfully per-
formed. Some OF her sermons. notably
that on ga Unitarian's View of Christ
from the text, "What think We of Christ?'
delivered during the Pacific Coast Con-
ference. have been favorably commented
upon by prominent ministers Of her de-
nomination.

How BurIy Beggar Disposed OF Mrs.
HOoper's Two Parcels.
James Benson, a burly beggar, called at
the residence of Officer w. T. Hooper of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, on Lyon street, last night, and
rang the bell. Mrs. Hooper opened the
door and Benson asked her for some money.
He was refused, but given food and pair
of boots, which he threw over fence as
soon as the lady's back was turned.
Mrs. Hooper was angry after the kind
way she had treated him, and urged her
husband to go and arrest him.
No" said he, laughingly; ''it's your
case, and you had better arrest him your
self"
She again urged him, but he simply
joked at her. Finally she put on her hat
and went after Benson. She caught up to
him after he had gone about couple of
blocks from her house, and placing ner
hand on his shoulder, said: 'Here, 1
want you to come back with me-"
He refused, but she insisted, and he re-
turned with her. She made him sit in the
hallway till her husband went to the
patrol box and rang for the wagon from
the North End station. Benson was taken
to the station and booked on the charge of
begging.
