PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.
Pacific Railway Affairs Occupy the Sen ate.
Several Lively Tflfs Between Senators.
No business Transacted I'm the House.

Washington. July 15.-Pacific rail-
way affairs occupied the attention Of
the senate throughout the day and the:
Harris resolution. relating to the pend
ing judicial proceedings against the
Union Pacific road finally wenx over
until tomorrow
Early in the day Senators Stewart
and White INDUCED In sharp p~ersonali-
ties in connection with the contest over
the San Pedro. "a. deep water harbor.
The joint resolution was passed &C
cepting the Invitation of France to
participate in the Paris exposition OF
1900.
AT 1 O'Clock the senate went into ex-
ecutive session but the doors were re-
opened in fifteen minutes and the Har-
ris resolution considered, the author
speaking in favor of il.
The resolution was laid aside tenn
porarily and Senator Tiilman secured
the passage OF the bill in relation TO
the Interstate transportation Of dis
titled spirits and declaring such spirits
TO be subject to state laws TO the same
extent as spirits distilled in the state.
Senator Allen. of Nebraska. then
spoke in support of the Harris resolu-
ton. He was involved in frequent con-
troversies with Senator Gear. In the
course of his remarks he urged gov
eminent ownership and operation of
the Union Pacific road, declaring hat
it would reduce passenger and freight
rates from 80 to 60 per cent.
Senator Gear insisted that govern
ment owenrship would increase pas
senger and freight rates As per cent. He
asserted that the image of the pop
ulist party had suppressed a report on
government ownership of railroads af-
ter finding from statistics that it in
creased rates.
Senator Butler, as chairman of the
populist national committee promptly
denied the statement in toto.
Senator Tillman came in at this point
with the statement that one-fifth of
the railroads Of the country were in
the hands of the courts which was an
alOgOus to government ownership.
Why should not the president and ex-
ecutive authorities run a railway as
we'll as an irresponsible judge.
When Senator Tillman referred to
his observation, while governor, of the
irregularities in judicial railroad man.
agement, Senator Gear suggested:
That only shows the lack of morals
in South Carolina"
mo, it shows the lack of morals in
the judiciary of the United States in
controlling railroads." answered Sena-
tor Tillman.
Senator Allen had not concluded his
speech on the Harris resolution when
at 5 o'clock the senate adjourned.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 15.-The Or
ders of the police commissioners of
Kansas City, Kas, that women pris-
oners must work on the stone pile
along with the men, has caused a great
cOmmotfOn and has not yet been put
into effect, and perhaps it nay never
be. The Currant Event Club, an or
ganization of women, has expressed
itself as immeasurably shocked and
has called an Indignation meeting to
protest against the threatened dis
grace and degradation of womanhood."
The members threaten that enforce
ment of the order e the retire
ment of the police commissioner from
office at the first opportunity, and as
women vote in Kansas municipal cleo
tons, the threat is not regarded as al
together an idle one, and may have
its desired effect. Their principal OBJ
lection to the rock pile is that part of
h order compels the women to
work without skirts and to yea over
alls instead. The police officials stand
by their order and say that the first
women prisoners whose fines are not
paid will go to the rock pile.

A Family Fiend in the Courts.

New York, July 15.-Morgan V. Gress
was acquitted in the Jersey City police
court today Of the charge of kidnap-
ping. his sister May 10 years old. His
father, George V. Gress and his step
mother, Mrs. Mary Gress, were recon-
ciled, so the lawyers said, although the
husband and his wife did not leave
the court room together. Mrs. Gress
caused the arrest of Morgan Gress, at
|. midnight last Saturday, in a train in
the Pennsylvania station on a charge
of kidnapping May who had been
placed on the train in care of Morgan
by her father. 1t transpired that
George ". Gress wanted to take his
family to Virginia, from Garrison's on
the Hudson. Mrs. GresS wished to stay
and visit the family Of DR.. Van Buren,
Young. Having failed to persuade her
to go to Virginia, the father started
with his two sons and the daughter
who is the child of his second wife.
After putting Morgan and May on the
train, George Y. Gress and his older
son, Hart, went to a hotel in Jersey
City where they were informed of the
arrest.
The case was fixed for a hearing on
Monday, Wednesday morning and
Wednesday afternoon, but Mrs. Gress
failed to appear. She learned that
counsel for her husband had procured
a writ Of habeas corpus directing her
to produce her daughter May in court,
and was induced to appear today, by a
written guarantee that no writ would
be served upon her. She went to Jer-
sey City accompanied by counsel and
met her husband. They conferred an
hour. Then Mr.. Gress went to the
court room and was followed in a few
minute by his wife, her lawyers and
his sons. May Gress did not appear
Mrs. Gress' counsel stated that. the
complainant wished to withdraw the
charge but young Gress wanted a hear
ing and an honorable discharge.
Policeman T. J. Murphy described the
arrest. Mrs. Gress told him her
daughter was being abducted. May at
first chung around her brothers neck,
and said they should not take him.
She finally went willingly with her
mother. Mrs. Gress left Morgan in a
lookup, where his father found him
ten minutes after she had gone. Mrs.
Gress admitted to the court that Muir
phys account was true. The justice
then allowed a motion for the defend
ants C.s-harge.

food Prospects of Arbitrating the Strike

Pfttsburg, July 15.-This mas been a
day devoted to ard work on h part
of the joint arbitration commission in
their efforts to ecu true uniformity
in his district as suggested by w. P.
De Armit and all express themselves

made. Two Of the largest operators in
the district, w. p. De Armitt and
Francis l.. Robbins, a consented to
head the list and the commissioners
feel satisfied that the other operators
will soon fall in line.
1t is claimed by the miner officials,
however, that the understanding was
that n agreement meant 95 per cent.
of the output of the district, whereas,
it is said to mean IS per cent of the OPP
orators. They say hat it will be alb
solutely impossible to get IS per cent.
of the operators as there are a great
many operators mining ON a small
scale. President Dolan said chat while
he wOul do all in his power to assist
the commissioners in securing the sig
natures of the operators to the agree
ment, he thought the proposition was
a scheme of President De Armitt's to
keep his men at work and Rrolong the
strike.
Genera Little. of the Ohio arbitra-
ton board, said that every obstacle
had been removed from the way Of a
settlement along the lines proposed
and that he had not heard of any OPP
orators who would not sign.

Raleigh, ~. c., July 15.-The railway
commission today gave out the follow
ing:
The railway commission in session
July 18th, after a most paSnstaking in
and freights as they now exist. find
that in 1871 passenger rates on the Ra-
leigh and CASTOR railway were 6 cents
per mile. The freight average amount
per ton per mile amounted TO Az cents.
IN 1891 the average rate per passenger
was 2.17 cents. Freight average re-
ceipts per tor per mile wert 1.41 cents.
In 1896 the average receipts per pas
senger per mile were 1.91 cents. freight
1.20.
On the North Carolina railway in
1866 the average passenger receipts per
mile were 5.14, freight 9.85. In 1891 the
passenger rates were 1872, freight 1.04.
In 1896 passenger rates were 2.20.
freight 81 cents.

way III Icoo Liz pdSSCIScI idlcS aver
aged 2.67, freight 2.13. In 1896 passen-
ger rates We're Isl, freight 1.69.
Other systems show like graded re-
d~uction.
The consolidated receipts of all roads
in North Carolina show an average
passenger rate for 1891, the ear of the
establishment of the commission, to be
2.SS cents, freight receipts per ton per
mile 1.66, while in 1896 these rates were
2.21 and 1.39 respectively.
The commission fnds hat the pas
senger rates are as low, if not lower,
than those of n other state Of like
population to the square mile, and the
freight rates will, rs a whole, compare
mos favorably with any state in the
union. AS proof of this, reference is
made to most careful and accurate re-
port Of rates in all states. AS to the
complain of Caesar Cone, made part of
the charges of Editor Josephus Daniels,
every intelligent mar is aware that
this was an interstate matter, over
which this commission had no jurisdic-
ton. Had the party, however, report
ed the facts to us We could nave had
the abuse corrected without expense
and sOoner than this meeting could
have been called.
The commission from the above facts.
together with others elected by the
recent discussion. See no good reason
for changing their views as expressed
in their last report, but do r~eiterate
that the present rates are just and
reasonable and such as were contem-
plated in the act creating the COM
mission, and will make no material
changes at present.
