Hi. John, of tha Rock Island, waa re
cti I led by the ntrika commission today.
" You have said," laid Couiiuiasioner
Reman, "that your road liai no black
lint. Now, 1 it a fact the General Man
agers' A.so... v.ion hat a blacklist?"
"No audi ''.ins as a blacklist exists
among the ra..ro-ds, to my knowledge,"
was the answer. "There waa, however,
I helittve, a lint of iinmes prepared fur
the General Manager.' Association. It
contained the name of the tuoet active
of the striker, and iiaa been, I think,
submitted to the varloua roads by the
association. It cannot properly be called
a black lint, however." St. John wa
anted lo tell what lie knew of the stoi
that all the railroads had adopted a
n ii form scale of wages. "Tha rumor ii
untrue," he said. "I believe something
of the aort waa eahiuitted lo the Gen
eral Managers' Association, but wai not
universally adopted. Id fart, It waa
rejected by all but one road, and on
that line pot into partial effect."
John M. Kgun, strike manager of the

tlie.tr Ike. lie laid it wai hi. duty to
receive report from the various roads
of the progress of the trouble and sub
mit the name to the association.

DEBS AND COMPERS
They Appear Before the
Strike Commission.
THE LABOR LEADERS' TESTIMONY
The I're.ld.at of the Federated Tr.de.
.lv. HI. Opinion of Strikes
In General.
Chicago, Aug. 25. President Debs
was called again today by the stvike
commission. In reply to questions, he
stated he did not favor compulsory arbi
tration in settling labor troubles. He
did not believe such a method would
prove universally satisfactory. Debs
said before the strike he had been among
the telegraphers, and the statement that
there were not more than 200 American
Railway Union men on the Rock Island
road witness said w as absurd.
fcamuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, waa the
next witness. He prefaced hi testi
mony with an outline of the aims and
principles of the federution and gave
figures showing the membership.
Gompers reviewed the proceedings of
the conference. President Cleveland,
he said, bad paid not the slightest at
tention to a message atking his aid in a
settlement of the strike.
Gompers told of the conference of the
heads of labor organications In Chicago.
He said that after deliberations they de
cided to request President Cleveland to
settle the strike.
"We thought," Mr. Gompers uid,
"that if Mr. Gladstone could do so in
the English strike, ench an attempt
would not be beneath the dignity of the
president of the United States. Accord
ingly, a telegram was sent to Mr. Cleve
land asking his aid. To that be did not
deign to reply. In fact, he took not the
slightest notice of it.
"We considered the strike carefully,
and finally decided that we could not
order a general strike; that it would be
an usurpation of power, and would for
many reasons t unwise. The delegates
ex pr eased their sympathies with the
movement, and we soon afterward ad
journed." Mr. Gompers then read from the lec
retary'a report a detailed statement of
the proceedings of the conference. Gom
pers implied that in the event of a gen
eral strike of all unions, all must agree
on the action, and be said it would have
been impossible for the conference to
have declared a sympathetic strike. He
was asked his opinion as to the methods
of preventing strikes.
"I do not condemn strikes, heartily as
do some men, be said. "I believe that
so long as the present conditions exist
they are necessary, and I believe that
all strikes do good in calling attention to
the fact that the laboring men will not
be driven further down into poverty. I
think the action of the striker in par
alyzing the railroads of the country was
justifiable."
The witness rather frank and uncom
plimentary regarding the strike com
mission. "I think this thing is rather late in
the day," he said. Tbisexaminalion by
the commissioners is rather in the
nature of an inquest on a dead body. I
do not anticipate good from the present
investigation."
The witness had something be wanted
to say about the injunctions issued by
the court. He held these injunctions
were not rightly based on the interstate
commerce law ; that the law was not in
tended to apply to labor organications.
He said the injunctions were based up
on court made laws, upon decision given
in the absence of law. When Gompers
finished, the commission adjourned uu
til Monday.
An error crept into last night report
of the proceedings before the commission
investigating the Pullman strike. The
statement wa made that Mr. St. John,
general manager of the Rock Island, tes
tified that a list of name bad been pre
pared for the General Managers' Asso
ciation containing the names of the most
active striker. Mr. St. John made no
such statement, but testified that neither
the Rock Island or the association had
ever kept a blacklist, or had such at the
present time ,

Omaha, Aug. 25. Nebraska democrats
held a conference in Omaha today to
discus fusion with the populists.
The question uppermost was whether
the party can consistently indorse the
nomination Judge Hobomb. There is a
strong sentiment among the Jacksonlan
wing of the local democracy favoring
such a course, but the idea is being
strongly opposed by many prominent
democrats, who urge the nomination of
a straight democratic ticket. Those
who look with favor upon Holcomb con
tend that a straight ticket if put up,
would mean the election of the republi
can ticket. No decision was reached,
and another meeting will be held next
week.

officially of the stirring events said to
have occared at Blnefields, resulting in
the arrest of British Consul Hatch and
American residents by the Nicaraguan
authorities. They are anxiously await
ing official news, but meanwhile are sat
isfied that the American naval com
mander is fully equal to the task of pro
tecting all American in Blnefields who
are entitled to protection.

Port Limon says: The United States

Carlisle has decided and will instruct
customs collector that goods placed in
bonded warehouses nnder the McKInley
law and made free of duty under the
new tariff act are entitled to free entry
and need not be exported and reim port
ed in order to get the benefits of the new
act. This is of special interest to the
woo trade, as a large amount of wool is
stored in the bonded warehouses. In
this as in all other mooted questions the
secretary will follow the intent of con
gress and let the aggrieved parties ap
peal to the courts if they care to contest
on technical grounds. He will undoubt
edly hold that diamonds are dutiable,
notwithstanding the erroneous punctua
tions of the free list. The secretary to
day sent the following telegram to cus
toms official at all ports: "A vessel
with a cargo not discharged nor entered
for consumption may be made vessel
warehouses temporarily for such goods
as shall be entered today in bond."

ing telegram to collectors at New York,
Sn Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, New Orleans, Chicago and
Port Townsend, Wash.: "You are in
structed as follows concerning the col
lection of duties under the recent rov
enue legislation of congress;
"First All articles heretofore subject
to duty, but made free by the provisions
of the new act, may be withdrawn from
the warehouses on and after Ang. 28,
1894, without payment of duty.
"Second AH manufactured articles
except originally provided for in the
schedule, composed wholly of materials
other than wool or worr ted, as a com
ponent port oi their chief value, will be
admitted on and after August 20, 1064,
at the rate prescribed in the new act, all
other manufactured articles specially or
generally provided for in said schedule,
will continue until January 1, 1895, to
pay rates of duty imposed thereon, by
the act entitled, 'An act to reduce the
revenue, equalize duties on import and
for other purpose; approved October,
1890.'
"Third Coffee and tea, hide and
skins, raw or uncured, whether dry,
salted or pickled, will he admitted free
of duty on and after August 28, 1894,
and treasury circular S. 12,510, dated
March 24, 1892, issued in accordance
with the proclamation of the president
oi the United Stales, dated March 15,
1892, and directing the col'ection of
duties upon certain articles being pro
ducts exported from Venzuela, Colum
bia and Hayti, is hereby revoked."
Although, as stated, it is Carlisle's
purpose that the intent of congress
shall be followed, it is learned that as to
all questions ot errors iu punctUHtion he
will make nt decisions nor give any in
structions to collector!) until after an
actual case has come before him on ap
peals from the decision of the hoard of
general appraisers an to whether dia
monds, seeds and certain other articles
are by the terms of the bill dutiable or
on the free list. Collector will without
instructions hold them to be dutiable in
order to protect themselves, and the im
porters must go to law if they contest
these rulings.
