FINDS KEYNOTE TO THE
WHOLE LABOR QUESTION.
..LABoR is NOT WELL REWARDED,
VOLUNTARILY, BY ANY ONE"
SAYS POTTER.
THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
HEARS VIEWS Of THE EMINENT
PREACHER ON SEVERAL
LIVE TOPICS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 81
Bishop Henry C. Potter, of New York,
testified to-day before the industrial
commission. He spoke on sweat shops.
arbitration and other questions. He
said he had more confidence in volun-
tary organizations to meet evils that
grow out of the sweat shops system
than in legislation. He advocated a
permanent commission to mediate be-
tween capitalists and labor organiza-
lions. He was disinclined to favor
compulsory arbitration. With refer
ence to the recent anthracite coal
strike, the bishop was asked for his
remedy for differences where employ
ers absolutely reject every attempt at
mediation with employees, especially
where the public at large would suffer
from the cessation of operations Incl
dent to the dispute. Il know no CO.
ercive measure that could recommend
to meet such a condition" the bishop
replied. He placed more value in
sound public opinion solving the
trouble than any coercive measures,
and thought the remedy really lay in
the intelligent organization of labor.
Compulsory arbitration, he conceded,
was less an evil than long strike or
a lockout. He commended the dispo-
sition of workingmen to accept any
suggestion looking to settlement with
employers. There was a general feel
ing among employers, he said. in favor
of organization among employees, at
tributable both to spirit OF fairness
and preference to deal with re-
sponsible union rather than with indi-
yiduals.
He commended the organization OF
chambermaids in the west to ascertain
the solvency and character of employ
ers. Labor, he said. is not well re-
warded voluntarily by any one. That
was the keynote of the labor question.

SHEETS WERE CHANGED
BY NOTE TELLER ALVORD
JOHN j. GARRISON, A CLERK UNDER
ALvORD, GAVE SENSATIONAL
TESTIMONY.
SAW THE CROOKED WORK DONE
AN INSIGHT INTO THE METHODS OF
THE NATIONAL BANK
EXAMINER.

NEW YORK. November 9.-The
further examination into the case of
Cornelius L. Alvord, Jr., the former
note teller of the First National Bank,
who is accused of embezzling $690000
of the banks funds, was continued to-
day before United States Commission
er Shields, Assistant United States Dis
trict. Attorney Baldwin appearing for
the prosecution and Jacob F. Miller
for Alvord.
Morton F. Moore, an employee of the
note teller's department of the bank,
was the first witness to-day. He iden-
titled various clearing house sheets,
and when asked by Counsel Miller, said
they were made up from slips made
by many different. clerks. Mr.. Miller
continued his cross-examination of
witness Moore and brought out that
Alvord had nothing whatever to do
with the sheets He said he made
them out himself and always took
them to the clearing house himself
NJ. G. Hanna, of Brooklyn, an as
sistant bank examiner, was put
through long examination and cross
examination. He examined various
clearing house proofs and testified to
having put various figures on them
Mr. Hanna was asked several questions
concerning his methods of examining
a bank. 1t was brought out in his
answers that he does not examine the
visible cash or assets of the bank to
see if it compares with the total
amount. Mr.. Hanna said that in his
examination he found the clearing
house sheets, Alvord's books and every
thing else examined by him correct.
He did not examine anything connect
ed with the bank, as it was not his
duty to do so, that being the duty Of
other examiners.
John j. Garrison, clerk in the note
teller's department, furnished the only
sensational testimony of the day. He
directly accused Alvord Of changing
the clearing house sheets and swore
that he saw him DO so. He said he
worked in the same cage with Alvord
and was about twenty-five or thirty
feet away from him. Describing the
examination of the clearing house
sheets by Bank Examiner Hanna on
October 81, he said:
81 was about twenty-five feet away.
and when the sheet was given to AL
word I saw him turn his back to the
man next him and make some marks
on the sheet. He then went into his
cage and made some monks marks,
and then handed the sheets to Mr.
Hanna
The hearing was adjourned until
Tuesday. next.

WA SHLNGTON

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Repre-
sentative S. E. Payne, of New York,
chairman of the ways and m0ans
committee, and Republican leader of
the House, was at the White House
to-day and had conference with the
President. Later In the day Mr. Payne
said he would call a meeting of the
Republican members of his commit
tee for November 20 to outline par
tial program for legislative work in
the House during the approaching
session.
One Of the matters which will come
before this meeting will be the pro-
posed reduction in the war revenue
taxes. He did not think, however, that
the reduction would exceed 10000
600 or less than one-fifth of the pres
ent revenues from that source. Much,
he thought, would depend upon the
condition OF affairs in the Philip
pines when the bill came up for con-
SlderatlOn. IL a CONSIDERABLE army naQ
to be maintained there for any length
of time, it might be thought to be
wise not to cut the revenues too
closely. There were, however, a num-
Der of items in the present law that
might be wisely eliminated, and these
would receive attention. Mr.. Payne
expressed the view that the ship sub
sidy bill would be taken up and an
effort made to pass it during the COM
ing session.

FIRST TASTE OF WINTER
CANE OUT FROM THE NESI.
1T RODE ON THE WINGS of A GALE
AND SET ALL NEW YORK A
SHIVERING.
SEvENTY-TWO MILES AN HOUR
THE HIGHEST VELOCITY ATTAINED
By THE BREEZE DURING
THE DAY.

NEW YORK, November 9.-The first
touch of wintry weather came to town
to-day in the trail of a west wind,
which at II o'clock this morning was
blowing at the rate OF u miles an
hour. 1t made sluiceway of lower
Broadway and the narrow downtown
streets, lifting of hats and playing
thousand and one pranks with the I'M
wary pedestrians who rounded corners
incautiously. At the top of the sky
scrapers windows ratified and papers
blew around at lively rate
AS the day advanced the wind be-
came stronger until along in the after
noon it had reached velocity of 65
miles. Up to ten o'clock tonight no
loss of life had been reported in New
York City or Brooklyn. but stories of
damage to buildings In the cities and
suburbs were numerous.
Sing Sing reports severe gale ac-
companied by rain all over West
Chester county. Many rowboats and
small yachts anchored in the Hudson
were swamped or drifted away. The
river ran very high, and the waves.
breaking against the stone wall along
the tracks of the Hudson river rail-
road, drenched the cars and dashed the
spray in heavy showers against the car
windows, making the timid women
folks jump back in their seats. Tele-
graph and telephone wires were brok-
en- down all over the county by fall
ing branches Of trees and sometimes
the main portion Of the tree. Trees
were uprooted and toppled over.
The wind blew with the force Of a
hurricane over Staten Island. Signs,
trees and wires were laid low and the
trolley service was stopped for soma
time.
The gale caused high tides at Coney
Island, said TO be the highest ever
known there. The entire meadows ~
the rear of the island were one sheet
Of water, which reached up to the old
Gravesend road, fully one mile from
Coney Island. An old shell road be-
tween Coney Island and Gravesend was
four feet deep in water. The spray
dashed high over the strong bulkheada
in front of the Brighton Beach Hotel.
but no great damage was done there.
Sheepshead Bay also was flooded.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Discussed for Two Hours by the Cab
inet-what Americas Action VIII
he in China.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 9.
All members Of the cabinet except
Long and Wilson met to-day.
Two of the three hours that the ses-
sion lasted were occupied in discus
SION of foreign affairs, necessitated in
part by the fact that the President in
tends to exhaustively treat on this sub
ect in his forthcoming message to
Congress. Reference was made to the
expressions in portions of the Euro
pean press that the United States pol
icy regarding China would undergo
marked change Immediately after the
election and it is authoritatively an
nounced that after a most exhaustive
review of every step of the Chinese
difficulty from its inception up to the
present moment, delivered by Secre-
tary Hay, the cabinet ratified every de-
tall ana moreover uuduluOuSly eA-
pressed it's judgment that the policy so
far pursued should be continued with
out change to its logical conclusion.
Accordingly the present legation guard
at Pekin will be maintained and such
troops as yet remain to be withdrawn,
according to the original programme
will be shipped to Manila. With this
addition to his force, Gen. Macarthur
is expected to renew the campaign
against the rebellious Filipinos with
the greatest energy. Administration
officials here think that as soon as the
result of the election becomes known
throughout the Philippines, the resis-
lance to the authority to the United
States will be overcome.

CHICAGO, Now "a fiat increase
Of one cent a pound was put upon
beef, pork and mutton to-day by Chi
cago packers. The Chronicle to-mor-
row will say:
In one year the additional cent will
yield to the Chicago packers, basing
the estimate on last years business,
the following sums:
Dressed beef, S15,000,000; dressed
pork and pork products, $2O,OO0,O0O;
mutton, $4,oO0,OO0 Total addition to
incomes, $39,00OOOO.
Retailers of meats were thrown into
a panic by the unexpected rise in
prices. Many who had carcasses in
their coolers declined to buy until they
could figure out what they would need
at the new rate. In the adjustment of
prices to consumers choice cuts of
beef have gone up as much as 5 cents,
pork tenderloin jumped to the same
extent, and mutton chops went up 8
cents. The advance by the packers
is more than 10 per cent. on the price
OF meat the day before election. The
advance by the retailer to the con-
sumner will average 20 per cent. for the
waste in a carcass doubles the increas-
ed cost of the salable portion. The
packers claim they have been selling
dressed meats at loss for several
years In six months the price of meat
stuffs has gone up $3.50 per 100
pounds. There has been no cores
ponding advance in the price of cattle,
hogs and sheep.
Representatives of the packers in
charge OF the dressed meat depart
ment, say the advance was justified by
the condition of trade and its imposi~
ton on the heels of the election is but
a coincidence.

AFTER Fifty LONG YEARS.
DAUGHTER WHOSE MOTHER WAS
DESERTED BEFORE SHE
WAS BORN
SECURED THOUSAND DOLLARS
OUT OF A FARM LEFT FOR FAITH
ERS THIRD WIFE AND CHILL
DREN OF SECOND WIFE.

Special to the Register.
TOLEDO, O., November 9.-January
9, 1858, near Pine Run, Mich, John A..
Shannon and Mary ]. Dimond were
married, the ceremony being perform
ed by a minister at Thetford, Genesee
county. The following August Shan
non deserted his wife and she never
saw him again. On October "a of the
same year Mrs. Shannon gave birth
to daughter, who is at present living
with her husband and daughter at
Chesaning. Mrs. Shannon is now a
widow after a second marriage, and is
making her home with relatives at
Terre Haute. Ind.
When Shannon drifted away from
his family he drifted into Indiana, and
from there to Clarkville, Ia, where he
died about year ago. At his death
he left a third wife and four children
by second wife, the Oldest of whom
is past forty-three years old, which is
evidence that he married soon after
deserving his wife in Michigan.
A brother of Shannon living at Mont
rose, Mich, conveyed the information
here given to the daughter by the first
marriage, and while Shannon was yet
alive she wrote her father a letter, 20
which he curtly replied in unkind Ian
guage, refusing to in any way recog-
nize her as his daughter, and she
ceased TO write to him.
From the brother she learned of her
fathers death, and from a cousin that
he had made will in which she was
not recognized.
She obtained copy of the will in
which he gave to his wife house and
two lots in Clarkville, and his monies
and notes in lieu of dover To his
daughter Eliza Jane, he gave $500, and
to two other daughters and a son
naming them, one-third of the re-
mainder of his property, emitting the
word each if he so intended. The prop
erty he referred to was farm near
Clarkville which sold after his death
for $4,000.
The daughter placed the copy of
the will in the hands of an attorney
named j. L. Curry, who made bold
push for recognition on the part of the
daughter claiming that there was a
two-thirds of the $4,000 not yet dis
posed of. The matter was further
pressed that Shannon's first wife was
still living, and that no bill of sepa-
ration had been procured by him. The
mater was finally compromised. On
the daughters quit, claiming her in
| terest in the estate, she received near
ly $1,000 clear of all expenses.
