CHICAGO, AU?. 18.—Tho first witness before the labor commission at the opening of the fourth day's session was Thomas W. Heathcote, chairman of the Pullman strike committee, who had been'recalled. He ftuld that the Pullman company 's statement that the company's books might bo looked over by the employes wtis merely ft statement by one of the clerks. When... the employes wont to investigate tho books they were refused, He said that tho Pullman brunch of the American Kuilway union was formed during the last of March and the month of April. Nearly all of the l.0"0 employes of the company Joined the union. Each man paid »iti« dollar for tho privileges of membership. Of all the employes between 'J.500 ut 8,000 lived in the houses of the company.

Couldn't Uve on llor Wajre*. Miss Mary Abbott Wood, who worked in the electrical department at Pullman, was the next witness. She said she was a member of the American Railway union and was one of the Pullman strikers. Iler father had died "some time ago In the company's employ. She had to support her mother on the one dollar a duy she reeved from the'-Pullman company. She lived in ono of the Pullman houses and paid £17.71 a month. Miss Wood showed the commission a notice of eviction, duted May 3. she had received from the company. She testitied that she had paid her rent to April 30. The company, by mistake, had credited the rent to her si6ter. When she asked for a reoiitication she was refused. She had not yet been evicted

Worlsed (Sixty Cousecuttvo Hours. Prank P. McDonald, a locomotive engineer onthc ChicagoUrcat Western was next called. He said that sometimes he was compelled to rcmaiu o:: continuous service from sixty to seventy-two hours without rest. Mr. MoDonald' went into an extended account of the trouble on the hicago and Great Western. It was caused by a refusal of the company to restore wages, which had been cut.

Mr. McDonald said he opposed the recent strike because he thought the American Kailway union was not strong enough to fight the general managers in the hard times when so many men were out oX work. He did not think the strike would be successful. He voted for the strike only because he was so Instructed by his local union. •'I nm opposed to strikes in general." said Mr. McDonald, "but when the federul government will do nothing for us, and we have no weapon but the strike, we must use it. If it were not for-strikes tho railroad men lu this country wouid be working for one-half the pay they are now getting."

Asked what he knew obout the stoppage of mail trains the witness said that the Chicago t*fc Great Western mall train No. Son June «MJ last way "killed" by the management of that road and its crew was used to tane out au excursion train to St. Claire. This mall train was obstructed by the railway managers and not by the strikers or the members of the American Railway union.

McDonald told how It was impossible for him to obtain employment after the Burlington strike, when he was blacklisted The company's Influence was used against him, ho said, even to the extent of protesting to Gov. Francis, of Missouri, against McDonald's appointment as oil Inspector at St. Joseph, Mo. \ouUtn't Arbitrate.

Miss Jane Adams, superintendent of Hull house and member of the board of conciliation of the civic federation, was next called. She recited the efforts of the civic federation to bring about a settlement of the trouble. The employof the A. K. U. were always willing and anxious to arbitrate, but Pullman and his officials would say to the committee only that they had nothing to arbitrate.

Arthur M. \Vllon and Nettie M. West, employes of tlie Pullman company, testified as to tho reduction In wages.

H. W. Pearson, a real estate agent who operates at Kensington. Homeland, Southwest Pullman, and other localities adjacent to Pullmun, said houses which rented for $17 in PxtUmun could be had for $10 a month in Kensington. Tn all eases. In his judgment, rents were about 7ft to 100 per cent, higher In Pullman than in the adjacent towns.

The commission adjourned to 10 o'clook Monday. Application has been made the commission to hear statements by Vepresentatlves of unorganized labor. All persons who think they can give the commission any information as to the conditions of labor, organized or unorganized, will be heard.

ST. PETEBBBURG, Aug. 20-—A dispatch from Ryblnsta, an Important commercial center on the right bank of the Volga river, states that a terrible storm passed over that city and the neighborhood Friday last. The damage done to property was immense. The steamer L'spisku, plying on the rivers Shexna and the Volga, was caught by the storm on tho former stream. There were 100 passengers on the vessel, and they were thrown into a panic by the tremendous foroe of tho wind, the furious downpour of rain, aud almost impenetrable darkness. The captain, knowing his vessel was in great danger, headed It for the beach, Ills intention being to run it ashore. Before this could be done, however, tho vessel sprung a leak and began to founder. As it foundered the decks were blown up by the air in the hold. Everybody on board was thrown into the water, there not having been time to lower the boats. Despite the fury of the storm passing vessels which hud heard the signals "of distress stopped and managed to rescue everybody except the captain and five other persons. Nothing was seen of these six after the steamer foundered and it Is believed they were drowned.

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.

It lleconieit a linv Without tho CtTHMontV Signature. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—The'rlver and harbor bill, carrying SI 1,47!),ISO, bocame a law at midnight Saturday nlglit without President Cleveland's signature, tho legal limit of ten days having expired within which he could sign or veto it. It is the third time since Mr. Cleveland's two terms that a river and harbor bill has become a law without hi.i approval, the only other bill of tliiskind submitted to him having been vetoed. Fears were expressed up to a late hour Saturday that tho present bill would be vetoed, as Mr. Cleveland made it known to the river and harbor managers several months ago that he did not want the total of the bill to exceed 810,000,000. This led to paring down tho appropriations on most of the rlvor and harbor projects about four-fifths from the estimates, so that tho total of $9,538,080 allowed by the houso was about one-fifth of what the army engineer asked to prosecute the work. In tho senate tho bill was raised to 812,790.(IM. Tills led to an animated struggle In conference, the house men contending that the bill would be vetoed unless it was much reduoed. Tho eonferrees finally reduced it to 811,47S. 180, and tiius it was agreed in both houses and so went to the president Aside from the amount carried by the bill the sundry civil appropriation bill also carries 38,400,000 for river nnd harbor contracts, making a total for this class of work of 819,878.150. This is about 82,000,000 less than tho amount given for river and harbor work for the first session of tho last congress. An important feature of tho now bill Is that it authorizes no new contracts.

PREPARED TO ADJOURN AT ONCE.

Dlflleulty In Keeping a Quorum Together —The Senate Voted Against Further Tariff Legislation During Thla ftesAlon.

ONLY W4ITIN&

WASHINGTON, Aug. B0.—The action Of the president on the tariff bill Is ths only thing that stands between |h« senate and final adjournment. It the general opinion that with the bill passed upon by the ohief exeoutive

Vloe President Stevenson laid before the senate a resolution of Sonator Gray directing the commltteo on finance to report forthwith the bill providing for the free Importation of sugar, with un amendment providing for a rovenue duty on sugar without any differential on refined sugar.

Senator Mandorson movod to amend by directing the committee to report the bill with an amendment restoring the bounty provisions of the MoKlnley law. Senator Mandcrson's motion recoivod 81 affirmative votes and 20 negative votes. The vice president announoed tho result, staling that no quorum had voted.

The oall developed the presence of twenty-four senators, eleven more than a quorum. At the request of Senator Gorman the Oray-Manderson resolution was temporarily laid aside, Sonator Aldrioh stating that ha thought a voting quorum would appear in two hours.

The Murphy resolution, opposing further tariff legislation, was then taken up and Senator Murphy offered a substitute briefly saying that It was tho sense of the senate that no further tariff legislation should be enacted and that congress should adjourn. On the amended form of the resolution thb yeas and nays were called, the vote standing: Yeas. 27 nays, 10. So the resolution was passed.

A great deal of confusion followed the announcement and lu the midst of It Senator Lindsay (dcni., Ky.) offered a resolution expressing it to bo the sense of tho senate tlint oongress should not adjourn nntll a bill had been passed relieving and discontinuing any duty on refined sugar whioh would operate for the benefit of the sugar trust. He asked for the immediate consideration of the resolution.

Senator Manderson (rep.. Neb.) moved to amend the resolution so as to instruct the flnanoe oommlttee to report back the amount of profit to be derived by the whisky trust from the tariff bill now in the hands of the president.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

1

fdjournment oould be arranged within day's time. The last of the appropriation bills received the final conlideration of the senate during the lust week, and even without the passage of the Murphy resolution there would not have been muoh probability any general legislation owing to •he likelihood of there being no quorum.

It is probable, therefore, that tho lally sessions from this time forward will be brief and that only bills to which there Is no opposition from any ifonator or over whloh there Is no contest will be taken up. The democratlo •managers hope to have the bill repealbig the provision in the tariff bill exempting aloohol used in the arts and l|i the manufacture of medicinal prop-(fc-ations Included in this list. There appears likelihood of opposition on t|ie republican side, and if there Should be this bill will neoessarlly go cjver until the next session. The (tomooratlo members of the flnanoe aommittee also hope to report the supplemental tariff bills during the week, ljut do not expeot action on them. Brobahly no considerable time will be spent in executive session in confirming nominations to whioh no one objects. The house of representatives is ready to adjourn. It is only awaiting tho action of tho senate and of the president. It is probable that it will adjourn from day to day until congress adjourns. •aturday tn th« Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 90.—In the senate, immediately after assembling, the resolution of Senator Harris, providing for the appointment of Senator White as a member of the flnanoe oommlttee, in place of the late Senator Vance, was laid before the senate and agreed to without division.

Senator Sherman (rep., O.) took the floor to indulge, as be said, In some "plain talk." He reviewed the blunders made by the demoorats in the general oonduot of tho long tariff fight. The result of the blunders in detail, Senator Sherman said, was that from 60 to 100 very important errors would bo found in the bill as It would be signed by the president. I

Already several of great Importance had been discovered. One of them,

the r&solution went over. St-nator Harris (dem./I'enn.) then culled up tho house bill to repeal the tax on alcohol used In the arts. The voting quarum being present, however, tho same senator moved to go into joint executive session. This was done, aud shortly afterwards adjourned.
