fTrecker.
Woodland, X!al., Ang. 2. The testi
mony thii morning was the strongest
the prosecution has pat in during the
past four days of the trial. Mary Van
Dueen, at whose house Sam Clark, the
dead engineer, boarded, testified that on
the morning of the wreck she asked Mr.
McNeile, an A. R. U. boarder, if there
was any danger. "He asked me if I
should see Sam again, and I said 'Yes,
in the morning." He said: 'Whoever
goes out on that engine will never reach
Davisville. Warn him in my name not
to go.' I saw him in the morning and
pleaded with him not to go. He said :
'I must go ; if I don't they will court
martial me and make meV " '
It Does Bhow the Committee la Also
Corrupt.
Washington, Aug. 2. Senator Gray,
chairman of the sugar investigation'
committee, presented a report to the
senate today. The main report is signed
by all the members of the committee.
Lodge and Davis present a supplement
ary report, and Allen presents his own
Tien s on some features of the case.
Secretary Carlisle is exonerated. The
committee say the evidence does not
show that the sugar schedule was made
in consideration of contributions to the
democratic campaign fund, or disclose
any improper conduct on the part of
those engaged in framing the- schedule.
No Agreement let.
Washington, Aug. 2. The democratic
members of the tariff conference had
reached no agreement at recess. " -The
conferees said, however, that fair prog

members said it would take two or three

and iron ore. There seems to be some
foundation for the report that a sliding
kscale will be adopted.

Gllroy's Talk.
New York, July 31. Mayor Gilroy
returned from Saratoga today and had
this to say about the coming election :
"Tammany is not bound to . select a
man for mayor from within the ranks of
the organization this fall. We may
nominate a man who is not a member of
Tammany hall, if ft is thought to be for
the interest of the democratic party.
The fight this year is but the prelimi
nary skirmish to the real battle in 1896.
If the republicans win in this city and
state next fall, there Is not the slightest
doubt .but - that they; will carry the
country in 1896. They will also elect
the next congress, and leave the presi
dent without the . support of either
branch of the legislature during the
last two years of his term. My view of
the condition is that it behooves every
democrat to. make sacrifices in the in
terest of his party." . '
The mayor would not discuss what
measures are likely to be taken to. bring
about harmony with the state democracy.

storms of the summer was . ushered in.
I( extended over an area of 20 square
miles in all directions from the experi

water fell. The rain saves late corn and
insures a half crop of hay.

The Salt Against the Southern.
Los Angkles, Cal., July 31. United
States District Attorney George Denis,
when told that information was received
that Attorney-General Olney would or-;
der the big suit against the Southern
Pacific Company dismissed,, looked as
tonished, but said very little. . "I have
heard nothing of the kind," he said,
nor have I received any intimation to
that effect. Of this I assure you."
"Will you dismiss the case if Mr.
Olney orders you to do so"? he was
asked. ' -s '. v.
"Xou can easily understand . that I
cannot discuss such a point at present,"
he replied, and that was all he would
say. It is a well-known fact among
habitues of the federal building that the
United States" attorney's "office is con
vinced of the justness of this big ait.
and it is considered doubtful if Olney 'a
commands to dismiss would be obeyed.

smith shops, boiler shops, car shops and

more applications, but many of the

peror, -speaking with impartiality, re
plied: . : .
"Your army has worked and has made
great progress. It is ready. If by some,
at present apparently impossible event,
it should find itself in the 'field against
the German army, nobody could foretell
the result Of the battles. That is why I
regard as a fool or a criminal any one
who seek 8 to push the two people . into
war." .
