Tht Strike Investigation.
Chicago, Ang. 24. General Manager
St. John, of the Rock Island, was re
called by the strike commission today.
" You have said," said Commissioner
Kernan, "that your road has no black
list. Now, is it a fact the General Man
agers' Association has a blacklist?" -
"No such thine as a blacklist exists
among the railroads, to my knowledge,"
was the answer. "There was, however,
I believe, a list of names prepared for
' the General Managers' Association. It
contained the names of the most active
of the strikers, and has been, I think,
submitted to the various roads by the
association. It cannot properly be called
a black list, however." St. John was
asked to tell what he knew of the story
that all the railroads had adopted a
uniform scale. of wages. "The rumor is
untrue," he said. "I believe something
of the sort was submitted, to the Gen
eral Managers' Association, but was not
universally adopted, . In fact, it was
rejected by all but one road, and on
that line put into partial effect."
John M. Egan, strike manager of the
General Managers' Association, was
questioned regarding his duties during
the strike. He said it was his duty to
receive reports from the various roads
of the progress of the troubles and sub
orn, mo BBuio m me association.
An Adjournment Tuesday. .
Washington, Aug. 24. If possible the

yesterday, despite the fact that one re
publican, Higgins, and two democrats,
Camden and Butler, had returned.
.George obtained indefinite leave of ab
sence for his colleague, McLaurin, on
account of the serious illness of his fam
ily. Harris, without testing the presence
of a quorum, moved the senate proceed
to the consideration of executive busi
ness. This was agreed to.
After executive session the senate
adopted the house, resolution for ad
journment Tuesday.
Blackburn tried to get up his resolu
tion instructing the committee on rules
to sit during recess for the purpose of a
revision of the rules. Blanchard object
ed, and a single objection kills any mo
tion. Blanchard fears the rules will be
uo revised that debate will be cut off and
the free sugar bill passed at the next
session. The senate adjourned until
Monday.

Immense Files of Silver Coin in the
Cellars .of the Institution.''
"While making a tour of the conti
nent a few years ago," said a New
York broker to a St. -Louis Globe
Democrat man, ."I was shown through
the Bank of France. The silver coin is
heaped up in - barrels and placed in
cellars resembling the spacious ware
house of a brewery, each barrel holding
50,000 francs in 5-franc pieces, and
weighing about 600 pounds. There
are at times 800 barrels piled up to the
very crown of the arches and rising
much higher than a man's head. : The
visitor walks through a long alley of
these barrels for some time until he
comes to a large, stone-floored apart
ment, wherein are to be seen large
square leaden cases. Each of these
holds 20,000 bags of 1,000 francs each,
and the whole are soldered up her
metically within the cases. Several of
these appeared not to have- been
touched for years. I was told they
were likely to remain undisturbed for
100 years longer, as they are the last of
the bank's resources to be dipped into.
The treasure in these leaden reservoirs
is kept perfectly dry and free from any
variation of temperature. The stairs
reaching to these regions are narrow
and admit of only one person at a time
ascending and descending. This has
been expressly contrived for protection
and defense from insurgent mobs. In
one of the treasure vaults are' the
precious deposits of the Rothschilds
and the wealthy capitalists left for
safety with the bank."
Egypt's Precious Relics.
For many years strong protest has
been made to the Egyptian government
by antiquarians and hosts of other in
terested people the world over against
the continued housing of the priceless
government collection of Egyptian an
tiquities in the old wooden museum at
Ghizeh. The collection comprises the
choicest of all the relics that have been
discovered in Egypt. It is, and has
been for many years, exposed to the
greatest possible danger from .fire.
The government has . hitherto declined
to remedy1 - the matter, but a few days
ago the -council of ministers agreed to
the' appropriation; of;- seven- hundred
and fifty thousand dollars for the
building of a new. fireproof . museum at
Cairo to contain the collection. -
When Times Were Slow. . , ' -.
From an ancient account book found
at Eastport, Me.,- it appears that in
1797 tobacco was. sold toy the yard In
that settlement. The limited purchas
ing power of a day's wages at that pe
riod is shown by the price of nails 1
one shilling two and one-half pence a
pound. A day's ordinary wages would
pay for about four pounds of nails.
