THE LABOR COMMISSION
DRAWING ITS STRIKE IN
VESTIGATION TO A CLOSE.
Testimony as toj Violent language of
Vice President Howard Abuse of
Pullman and Railway Officials
Evidencej in Rebuttal to
be Heard To-Day To
Make Their Rejport .
Before LieavinK
Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 1 29. The
National
Labor commission expe to
complete
its work by the end of this week. To
morrow witnesses for the American rail
way union will appear in rebuttal, and
the sitting of the commission may come
to an end at that date. It is probable,
however, that it tnay last one or two
days longer. Chairman Wright said this
morning that tbe commission had not yet
discussed the evidence with a view to
form an idea of what its recommenda- j
tion would be. The teport will be made '
directly to the President and will proba
bly be made up bef orte the commissioners
leave Chicago. 1 j
The principal business of the commis
sion this morning was the examination
of twenty-three witnesses. Most of them
testified that at the jmeetiDg at Blue
Island, at which the Rock Island men
decided to strike, Vice President, How
ard had counseled violence and used pro
fane language. The gist of the testi
mony was that only about one-half of the
men who had voted to strike were rail
road men. Beside this, many of the
railroad men present were opposed to
striking, i 1
Robt. G. Welsh, assistant to the first
vice president of the Santa Fe road, was
the first witness called. He testified that
his road was loser, as well as ' he could
figure, to the amount of $505,036 by the
strike. The strike nad never been de
clared off by the Santa Fe men, he said,
but the road is running without inter
ruption to traffic.
W. D. Fuller testified that Vice Presi
dent Howard openly counseled violence
andapplied a vile epithet to Geo. M.
Pullman 1 at a meeting at Blue Island, at
which the Rock Island employes votd
to strike. Presitient Debs was not o
radical in speech."
G. G. Gruely corroborated Fuller and
said Howard also abused the officers of
the Rock j Island road. He ascribed to
President Debs the statement: "After
the strike the scabs will have to walk the
plank." j -
Farmer Fred Baumbreck was present. -He
did not hear Howard use abusive
language. George Davis did not either.
Neither of tbS3 men heard all of How
ard's speech. Alexander Inasso testified
that he heard Howard say that he
thought Pullman ought to be hanged.
J. H. Cody thought nearly all those pres
ent were railroad men. J.' R. Sanders
gave as the substance of one of Howard's
admonitions to the crowd to "kill any
scab with a coupling pin who took the
place of a striker." He heard the al
leged remarks about Pullman. The other
"itnesses from Blue Island knew noth
ing of interest to the commission.
Chairman W iiht then announced that
the commission had heard all the wit
nesses suggested by either side of the
controversy and was now ready to hear
those in rebuttal. As no names were
filed with the commission for rebuttal,
Chairman Wright declared the commis
sion adjourneT until 10 'o'clock to-morrow
morning.
THE PYTHIANS.
Tbe Inspection and Review in the
Afternoon The Industrial Parade
at Msht The Capi' -l Bril
Jiantly Illnminated.
WAsmsoToa, Au. g9. The visiting
Pythians had an inspection an4 review
this afternoon on the White lot, a great
oval fie'd south of the White House.
Four o'clock was the hour set for the
event, but it was an hour ater before the
head of the column marched, past Ma
Gen. Carnahan and his staff, brilliantly
uniformed and mounted on horses gaily
capnsoned. thousands of peoplfl wit
nessed the review and the police arrange-
cients were so perfect that the field was
kept clear for the participating Knights.
Owing to the lateness of the hour half
the Pythians only,about I JOQO in number,
took part in the review.
In honor of the yisiting Pythians &n
industrial parade was held this evening
on Pennsylvania avonye. Judging from
the great number of spectators, it proved
the most attractive feature -of the en
campment. The wide avenue was never
more effectively decorated at night, and
the Oapitbl appeated a blaze of light on
a scale jiaver attempted heretofore. For
the first time in the history of the big
white building tbe figure of the Goddess
of Liberty, surmounting the dome, was
strung with electric lights and illumi
nated.

Washington, Aug. 2.5. At A o'clock
this afternoon, the clerk at the Exchange
hotel in Alexandria, Va., on going to
the room'of Mr. N. B. Hay, the ticket
agent at the Virginia Midland depot and
a brother of State Senator Jamea Hay,
of Madison Court- House, found him

dition from which he tried vainly to

mains off a box which had contained
morphine bills. Written with a piece of
poap in a bold hand on the looking glass
wcr these words": "It is all over now;
10 a. ui., 29, 94."
As thei stumps of two packages of
cigarette were found on the floor and a
large quantitj' of ashes on the bed, it was
supposed t hat he had spent most of the
day in be4, baring gone to his room be
fore 10 o'clock, charging the clerk not to
disturb him. Physicians were immedi
ately summoned and Drs. Gulick, Puryis
and Smith pronounced the case a hope
less one and at a late hour to night it
was not thought that Hay could live tbe
night through. Mr. Hay, who is about
22 years of age and single, came to Alex
andria from Richmond about two month?
ago to take the place of Ticket Agent
Moss, wh.o was sick. For ten days he
bad been drinking to excess, but' attended
to his duties just the game, A day or

" of Chicago.
New York, Aug. 29. There was a
fair degree of activity at the Stock Ex
change to-day, but the increase in busi
ness was at the expense of values. The
temper of speculation! was so bearish
that purchases by London, estimated at
upwards of. 10,000 shorts, failed to have
more than a momentary effect on values.
These orders were executed shortly after
the opening, and prices advanced frac
tionally, but certain operators, who con
cluded their bull campaign in Sugar a
few days ago, pounced upon that stock
and knocked the price down from 110
to 107.' Incidentally, they raided other
stocks which happened to be unsup
ported. Thus, General Electric fell 2J
per cent, to 38$,- Burlington and
Quincy If per cent, to 76f . Chicago Gas
li to 74i, St. Paul 1 to 64, Rock Island
H to 66f, Manhattan 2 to 117i, Missouri
Pacific lj to 281, 'Northern Pacific, pre
ferred, 1 to 18t, United States Cordage
H to 181 and Western Union f to 88J.
The decline caught many stop orders and
the bears joining hands with the sold
out bulls made the market look quite
weak for a time. The one thing harped
upon by those engaged in the bear . side
was the attitude of those identified with
the administration toward tariff reform.
Their statements . that the tariff battle
has just begun created fears that the bus
iness in terestsof the country will be in sus
pense some months longer and that the
expected benefits to the railroads from
the action of Cbngresswill be deferred.
These expressions serve; the bears tem
porarily, for they are made public in
order to intimidate weak holders of,
securities. The short interest was materi
ally increased to-day, especially in the
U rangers.i Towards the close General
Electric rallied to 40 and the rest of the
list left off at a -recovery of 1 to per
cent, from the lowest, i The tone was
steady in the final dealings. The bond
market was weak. Sales of listed stocks
aggregated 150.000 shares; unlisted
93,000.
Chicago, Aug. 29. The elevator men,
with Armour in the lead, were buying
September and selling December wheat
to-day. thus arranging" for the carrying
charges on the wheat in store for three
months more, whil&t the speculators and
the country at large were selling their
"long" September and buying December, !
trusting that time would bring forth
something to help them out. Some of ;
the new business went into May, how- j
ever. Aside from this changing, there
was scarcely a thing in the market to
attract attention. Trading was at a
lower range and within extremely nar
row limits. The close was c under Yes
terday.!- Before the market opened the
curb was weak, and with a loss of ic f rom
yesterday trading began..- December
wheat opened from 56$ to 56 c, sold be
tween 56 to 56ic. closincr at 5tf to 56c.
Elevator people were buying cash wheat
at a decline of 1 to fc fronr yesterday.
Some mild ranging in corn kept prices
down to-day. ' May corn opened from
52J to 52f c, sold between 521 to 5 H to
52c, closing at 52c, Jc under yesterday.
Cash com was j$ fair demand. Prices
were jc lower. , s
Oats Bradstreet s reported an increase
of 2,013,000 bushels in the available stock
of oats. This was one reason- for weak
ness, xhe absence oi any output was
another, and the weakness in wheat and
corn helped the other two. Oats closed
i to c under yesterday. ! Cash oats were
weak and lc lower.
Provisions When hoes were ud. nro-
duct was higher and when they declined,
product weakened. This was the action
of the market to-day. During the latter
part -of the session lard and ribs had
more business to their credit than nork.
The packers were the buyers, and he
selling came from all quarters. At the
close January pork and ribs were un
changed from yesterday and January
lard 2lc higher. j

DoYidoussat finally agreed to sell his vote
for $100 in cash and Sherman made an

and " Sherman counted i him : out the

him to the police station and he was

A Race Conflict Imminent.
Columbia, S. C , Aug. 29. Governor
Tillman repejyed inforrnatito late this
afternoon that a race riot was imminent
at Harlin City a small town in Orange
burg county. He ordered the Santee
Rifles, of that county, to put themselves
at the disposal of Trial Justice Whetsell.
The negroes in that section have formed
a combination not to pick cotton for less
than 50 cents a hundred for white farm
ers, nd 40 gnts for colored farmers. An
old negro who violated this agreement
and picked for a white man at 40 cents
per hundred was taken out of ' his house
by a -mob of negroes last night and
severety beaten. Several negroes were
arrest d for the crime and this undoubt
edly incenses the negroes. Owing to
poor teh-graph facilities there, nothing
further could be learned. The presence
of a military company ; would quickly
put down any tronble, however, without
Dioodbhed. ; .; i; : .

lnis morning Republicans began j to
gather here in numbers. Chairman
Eaves and Henry C. Cowles were seen
in close communion on a street corner.
Somewere here to attend the State con
vention to-morrow and to-day's caucuses;
others to attend the district Congres
sional convention to-day. An anti-fusion
colored man said this morning that his
side had a majority in the district con
vention and hoped to nominate J. F. Mil
liken, of Randolph county. The fusion
ists did nob desire any nomination made
but wanted the party to support W. F.
Stroud, the- Populist nominee. - Feeling
over this matter has been somewhat high.
Chairman Eaves does some plain talk
ing. If the fusion ticket is forced on the
antis, some of the latter will kick out of
harness. The intimation is that those
who have fought fusion will get together
in 1896 and resurrect the Republican
party. In other words they expect it to
be buried out of sight this year if there
is fusion. ; .

strike clogged the wheels of industry.
As early as 5 o'clock operatives with din

employes of other mills, some impelled
by curiosity, Others moved by a hope of
securing employment, turned their faces
in the same direction.
Promptly at 6:30 o'clock, the buzz,
hum and whirl of thl machinery re
placed the silence which has reigned
since the greatest strike in New Bedford's
history became master of the industrial
situation. Not all of the army of workers
attached to these great enterprises were
