VOL. VII.
THE DALLES, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1894.
NO. 208
WILL NOT SIGN OR VETO
Cleveland Will Let The
Tariif Bill Alone.
WILL BECOME A LAW NEXT MONDAY
Serjeant-at-Arms Ordered to Arrest
Absentees. Kefnaes Witnent a
Warrant--In the Hoaie.
Washingtoh, Ang. 23. The president
remains firm in bia purpose to let the
tariff bill become a law without his sig
nature, although many congressman
have represented very strongly that
should it not have the presidential ap
proval their position on the stamp will
be embarrassed. Speaker Crisp pre
sented this view. The bill cannnot be
come a law without the presidential
autograph until next Monday, and an
adjournment of congress will hardly
take place before next Tuesday.
In tne Senate.
Washington, Aug. '23. At 12:30 it
was apparent that no quorum could be
secured in the sunate. Upon motion of
Mr. Harris, the sergeant-at-arms was
directed to compel the attendance of the
absent senators, this it is said will not
amount to anything, as the sergeant-at
arms has always and now refuses to ar
rest senators and bring them before the
bar of the senate nnleas given a warrant
for their arrest. The senate has like
wise always refused to issue warrants,
As a matter of fact, a quorum could be
obtained if all the democrats would vote,
as there are a number about the build
ing who have so far declined to enter the
chamber. At 1 :18 the senate, pending
the execution of the order to compel
members to attend, adjourned till .to
morrow. This was owing to the fact that it was
demonstrated to be impossible to get a
quorum today. Senators Morgan and
Camden and others telegraphed that
they would be here tonight. The re
publicans are willing the democrats
should go into executive session and pass,
as in legislative session, such important
and private bills as the senators might
desire, and signify their willingness to
tarnish votes to make up the necessary
quorum to do this as soon as the demo
crats found 39. The roll stopped short,
however, at 36, and the democrats could
not increase it by the arrival of a single
senator.
In the House.'
Washington, Aug. 23. About 50
members were on the floor when the
house met today. There was, as usual,
a great rush for recognition to pass local
bills. With the report on the armor
plate frauds, Mr. Cummings presented
a joint resolution to authorize and direct
the secretary of the navy to remove
from the Monadnock, Terror, Oregon,
Indiana, Massachusetts and Montere.l
the specified armor plates and subject!
them to a ballistic test at the Indian
Head proving grounds. The resolution
directed a speedy report on these tests.
The Armor-Plato Investigation.
Washington, Aug. 23. The special
committee of the house investigation the
charges affecting the reliability of
material of the new ships furnished by
the Carnegie company, of Pittsburg, laid
their report before the house today.
The report shows that the contract with
the company covered a period of two
years and three months from November,
1890, to February, 1893. The amount of
armor-plate contracted for was 8978 tons,
costing $5,451,920. In the opening re
port, Mr. Cummings, chairman of the
committee, gives the 10 charges made
against the company, and follows it
with the admissions made under each
charge. Mr. Shwab admits under the
first charge that the plate did not re
ceive uniform treatment, - explaining
that by saying that uniform- results
alone were required. - The committee
construes the specifications to mean
uniform quality before treatment and
practically uniform results will neces
sarily follow. If uniform, results alone
were meant, there would have been no
necessity for requirements as ' to the
process. .
The committee finds the charges of
fraud sustained, scores the -company
severely and recommends that the 59
suspected plates in use be tested, as the
only method of proving their fitness or
unfitness. It finds the government in
spection was negligent, bat no charge of
dishonesty rests upon the inspectors.
The Strike Investigation.
Chicago, Aug. 23. General Manager
St. John, ot the Bock Island road, was
before the strike commissioners today,
He read the history of the strike as it
affected bis road. He was asked if his
company blacklisted men. "Not in the
sense the word is generally understood,
said the witness; "when a man is dis
charged from one division we send a
statement to our other divisions that he
may not be re-employed, bnt no such
statement is sent to other roads unless
requested,"
"Can you show us a copy of your con
tract with the Pullman company?"
asked Commissioner Kernan. "I can
show you the contract, if you will regard
it as private. I do not wish to see it
published."
St. John was asked if the contract
compelled the company to haul Pull
mans on all passenger trains.
"No," was the answer, "we can haul
Pullmans on any trains we choose, and
need not haul them unless we wish."
"Then you were not compelled to
haul Pullmans during the strike?"
"No."
St John was asked as to the number
of strikers who had been taken back.
"Most of our men," he said, "quit
woik through fear; but of 522 actual
strikers only 74 have been taken back
When the union has fifty per cent or
more of our men,", he eaid, "we as a
general thing treat with its represents
tives. We had no dealings with the
American Bail way Union, aa it had lees
than 500 of our employes."
"Did your road cut wages last spring
or this summer?" asked Commissioner
Wright.
"No, sir; we cut our force, but not
wages." . . 1
"How much did the strike cost the
Bock Island road?" Kernan asked.
"I cannot give the exact figures, but I
should say between $800,000 and $1,000,-
000.
St. John emphatically . denied that
United States marshals were controlled
by the railroads. Witness said that
many rioters who overturned and burned
the cars were strikers.
A Defaulting; Cashier.
Pittsburg, Aug. 23. "Harry A. Gard
ner, the defaulting cashier of the Second
national bank of Altoona, is en route for
China or Japan, and be has the sum of
$100,000 in bank notes of large and small
denominations. So spoke Samuel B.
Griffith, as assistant district attorney,
when asked today regarding the truth
of the rumor that Gardner had been in
this city Tuesday. "Gardner was in
Portland a few days ago," said Mr.
Griffith, and he has likely left the
country by this time. A week ago last
Monday Gardner learned that Bank Ex
aminer Miller was going to investigate
his accounts. Gardner at once began
preparations for fight, and left that
afternoon, taking every dollar of the 1
bank's money he could carry."
Leaped From a Lofty Tower.
Richmond, Va., Aug. 23. Colonel J.
M' Winstead, president of the Pedmont
and People's Savings bank of Greenes-
boro, N. C, this morning removad his
shoes and jumped from one of the towers
of the city hall here, a distance of 170
feet. He was terribly mangled, his left
leg being caught in a projection and torn
from the socket. No cause is known.
Speaker Crisp, who spent some time
with the president tobay in discussion of
the tariff situation, told the members he
thought the session . would last until
Tuesday. , .
Miners Bare Stopped Work.
Nelsonville, O., Aug. 23. The min
ers and American Railway Union gave

tee of railroad men or not. He did not

A Dastardly Crime.
Oakland, Cal., Aug. 23. An attempt
was made early this morning to burn
down the Atchison hotel at Berkeley
and destroy t he occupants. One of the
lodgers was aroused about 4 o'clock by a
smell of smoke. Bushing out he found
the whole hall entrance in flames. ' The
flames were soon extinguished. In the
meantime, fire was discovered on the
porches at the side and in front of the
hotel, and this was also put out. Under
the front steps was found a can of coal
oil. The same fluid had been poured on
the porches and in the upper and lower
halls and then set on fire. There is no
clue to the perpetrators of the crime.
AN ESCAPE FROM HOUNDS.
Undesirable Experience of a Boy Pursued
Toy a Hunter's Pack.
A small boy playing the part of the
fox in an exciting chase on the Cedar
Hollow hills near Phoenixville, Pa.,
says the Philadelphia Record, narrow
ly escaped being1 torn to pieces by a
pack of hounds the other day. The
dogs had not enjoyed a run for weeks,
and their owner decided to give them a
little exercise. Taking- a bag- from the
box in which he keeps several foxes,
and which the Reynards slept upon, he
gave it to a boy. He told the lad to
drag- the heavily-scented bag across the
hills, and he would turn loose the
hounds. The boy had a long- start and
had disappeared beyond the brow of a
distant knoll when the owner released
the eager dogs. Around they circled
until one of them struck the trail, and
away they dashed in pursuit of the
bogus fox.
Instantly a great fear seized the hun
ter. It dawned upon him that if the
hounds overtook the lad they would
tear him to pieces. . Without longer
Hesitating- lie rushed to the stable,
bridled a horse and galloped in pursuit
of the baying hounds. They had a
g-ood start, and the owner knew that
the boy's life depended upon whether
the hounds or the horsemen reached
"iim first. In no real fox chase did the
veteran hunter ever ride more furi
ously. -
It was a long-, hard gallop, but he
had told the boy where to drag the
bag, and by a short cut reached him
ahead of the hounds. The dogs were
close upon him and running madly.
The owner seized the astonished boy
and lifted him uton the horse bevond
the reach of the hounds, which he could
even then hardly prevent from tearing
the boy to pieces.

partment has telegraphed Captain

refugees, on the United States steam

More Weavers Quit Work.

New Bedford, Mass., Aug. 23. Mayor
Brownell has invited the state board of
arbitration to be present at the confer
ence of the strikers and manufacturers

The Chinese pay their doctor only so
long as he keeps them in health. They
believe in preventing rather than curing
disease. This is sound sense,- and one

not only cures diseases ' but prevents
them. '
