CHICAGO. Aug 2S.—When tho labor commission assembled for Tuesday's session several railroad officials who had been summoned to furnish statements of the losses caused to various roads by tho strike were heard. Summarized their statements show that the tiKgregate loss of tho Chicago & Alton road was jSSO.ftOO the Lake Shore, damage to cars. tho Chicago & Eastern Illinois. $|yH.7tW the Uurlingiun, 1115,000 tho St. Paul, tlWMWrt tho Northwestern, *60:*,W0.81 Chicago & Kriu. $N4.7fH.77. The same statement showed a total loss of wages to employes of fcM5.M5.ta
The commissioners wanted some figures on tho losses to business and other tigvires which the officials dkl not have, b\it they later promised to get at tho desired estimates as nearly as possible and report later to the commission.
WAGE* KIMIUCIM! Moro Than
Prices.
Then Mr. Wiekes took the staml. Questioned by C'hairmnn Wright, he said that the cost to the company of building the ears under contract at the time of the strike was about *M0.00a The labor would cost about *-40.000. The contracts were taken on a basis of a reduction of UO per cent, and thus under the oid prices the labor would cost about On this basis Mr. Wright .snid that, according to the testimony of Mr. Wiekes, the'eompany had contributed Jo-'.OOO for the purpose of scouring these contracts and keeping tlie people employed und the wage earners fHW.OoO.
Mr. Wickes admitted that possibly it would have been better for the company to sustain the loss of *M,0LK) plus the ^-'.000 than ailow the strike to occur, but he did not think It would be a very good policy. A principle was involved. The Pullman compauy could not afford to give up its right to manage its own business.
The wages of workmen had been raised, Mr. Wiekes said, time aud again where there hail been no request from the men. The company's orticers were always ready to pay every man for his skill but, too, they wore entitled to just prolits occurring from the use of improved machinery. Witness had been in close touch with labor men for the past twenty-six years. lie thought the present principle of operation had worked admirably until last May. In the works of the •ullman compiny at Wilmington and at St. jouis there had never beeu any trouble of ny kind. He thought that If there had ecu no outside interference there the men would not have gone on striko. The company was preparing au. Investigation and a statement of Its actual condition to set before the when the strike was called. That statement would have been identical with the one given in evidence before the commission.
Kentti
Due Are ©LOO.OOO,
Witness said the back rent now owiug to the company amounted to about $100,000. Almost no elTort had been made to collect auy of this bince the -strike. lias any eviction list been prepared?"asked Commissioner Wright.
No, si:. No eviction list has been prepared and no evictions have been ordered." The Kofusal to Arbitrate.
The subject of arbitration and the Pullman ompany's refusal to arbitrate with its forner.employes was taken up by Commissioner Cernan. The witness thought that the question of wages could not be submitted to arbitration. An employer knew what he could afl'ord to pay for the work led and that wa? a rtxed amount. It could vary only prolits to the manufacturer change The J'uiiman company had never objected to unions except in one instance. Tho objection to the American Hallway union was that the inpany would not treat with its men through any union, it would treat with tbem individually only. mmissiouer Kernan read clauses from a sample Pullman lease, and asked if Mr. Wiekes did not think it harsh upon the signing tenant and employe. Mr. Wiekes thought the tenants should not be called up"n to make repairs aud improvements, und as a matter of fact he knew that Wtey never hail been called upon to do so.
oo
.MEN Made No Trouhlo.
Commissioner Kernan asked if the witness did not think that was harsh on the men. He answered no. The more competent men always got along all ri«ht with the compauy. It was always the. less competent men who made all the trouble. If the better workmen it any time permitted themselves to be led by the less competent men that was their misfortune.
SUIHI-ICH of Oillehils.
Chairman Wright asked about the salaries of the oflicials oi the Pullman company. Mr. Wiekes said that hi thought these salaries were not so liitih as those paid to high officials in other kinds of businees. Some time ago the p:rsidoiH was paid only $10,000 a year. Witness did not know the amount of the president's salary at present. He preferred not to say anything about the salaries of other oflicials.

MLLOS NIL .Stand.
(Jen. Nelson A. Miles took tho stand when the commission met after luncheon. In answer to "questions he said his occupation was major general of the Uuited States army. He denied tiatlv the story lhat on his ival here from Washington he had at once consulted with the general managers. Ou July when this conference was said to have taken place, he was in Washington, and he arrived here on July t. Asked If it was true that he had declared he had broken the backbone of the strike, tho general saiii this was not quite exact. Wnat he said was that be had brokeu the backbone of the opposition to the federal troops. The commissioners wanted to know if tho troops forced railroad men to work at the point of the bayonet. (Jen. Miles said that while this might have happened in some instances. he had not been aware of it and had issued no orders to that effect. He said hu knew nothing about the strike. That tho troops were ordered here by the president to see that the decrees of the United States courts were enforced, and beyond carrying out such instructions he had nothing to do with the strike.
KONGHH
Did
the Klotlng.
Inspector Hunt testified as to tho disturbances In his division during the strike. Prior to July 3 there was little act ual violence, but then trains were stopped and men were sent to disperse them. Ho knew of no actual vlolenco that day, and fact none until July 7. July 4 tweuty-live men were' sent out to Halsted aud Fortieth streets to move cars and thev were compelled to disperse a mob. There was little actual violence during the entire time. During the strike he did not notice ono railroadman interfering in any way, shape or manner. The mob was composed of toughs and men who never worked on railroads or anything else. The men arrested for depredations were not railroad men. ltllnoifi
Central Troubles.
Albert W. Sullivan, the general superintendent of the Illinois Central Kallroad company, was next sworu. He said tho employes gave him no notice they were going to quit the service of the compauy. The tlrst to strike were the switchmen and tho day following the strike by that body all the employes wont out and there was a generalceanatlon of work. There was no interruption of passenger tratllc of any great moment. There was but one day the compauy failed to dispatch Its regular trainR from Chicago. After the arrival of the militia July 0 business picked up again. The men had no grievance when they struck. He continued: ••There was nothing to adjust between the rail road company aud its employes. The influences
that led to the strike were something outsido. Every effort was made to iuduco the employes
10 return to work by interviewing them ami counseling thera against the folly of the strike. Some of the employes stated they hail reoeived no notice it was Deoessary to return to work, and I Issued a notice, giving tbem until a certain tiqie to come back or to consider themselves out of the employ of the company. Quite number returned, and the company now has Its normal force. The company has had no oftlclal notice of the cause of the quitting of tho men. The total number of employes who quit work is 8,609. Of this number 1.000 were strikers, l.MO were employes forced to stop work through Intimidation or persuasion of the strikers. Of the 1.960 employes forced to quit all have been taken back, and of the 1,990 strikers A80 have t?on taken baok, leaving 1,810 dlsohargeti."
CONGRESS ENDS.
The Cloatng Seaalon Totally Devoid of Interest. WASHINGTON, AUFF. 29. —The first regular session of tho Fifty-third conpress is a thing- of the past. It became a matter of history at 2 p. m. Tuesday. Compared with previous adjournments, it was a very tame affair.

There was not a quorum in either house. Tho senate galleries were packed when the gavel fell. Chaplain MeCarthy in along prayer included not only the customary officers of the government, the president and vice president and senators, but even the senate pages and the venerable Isaac Bassett in his nppeal for grace. I
A message was received from the house immediately after the re&fliuir of Monday's journal, and then Senator Hansom (dein., N. C.) offered the customary resolution to notify the president that the two houses were ready to adjourn. The resolution was agreed to and the vice president appointed Senator Ransom and Senator Manderson (rop., Neb.) a committee on tho part of the senate. No other business of importance was transacted, and a recess was taken until 12:45 o'clock. At that hour tho vice president announced that the senate was again In session. A message was received from the house announcing the death of Representative George ft. Shaw, of Wisconsin. In the absence of tho two Wisconsin senators, Senator White offered the customary resolutions of regret, and the vice president appointed Senators Mitchell (Wis.), Cullom, Davis. Roach and Kyle to attend the funeral.
At 12:55 a further recess was taken until 1:80 p. m. At 1:80 p. m. the senate was agaiu called to order and the committee appointed to call upon the president announced that he had no further communication to make to congress. Resolutions of thanks were tendered Vice President Stevenson and Senator Harris, president pro tern, and at 2 o'clock the vice president declared the senate adjourned without delay.
The galleries of the House were packed to overflowing. The attendance on the floor was very light, however, the great majority of the members having already gone to their homes. The resignation of Representative Oates, recently elected governor of Alabama, to take effect December 3, was laid before the house. In accordance with the usual custom Mr. Wilson (dem., W. Va.) offered a resolution, which was adopted without division, for the appointment of a committee of three members of the house to meet a similar committee of the senate and wait on the president and inform him that congress was ready to adjotirn and ascertain if he had any further communication to make. The speaker appointed Messrs. Wilson (dem., W. Va.), Holman (dem.. I ml.) and Hepburn irep., Ia.).
When the committee reported that President Cleveland had no further communication to make, and the usual votes of thanks to the oilicers of tho house had been passed. Speaker Crisp declared the house adjourned sine die.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2tf.—The feature of the Pythian encampment was the grand parade of the uniform rank Tuesday afternoon. Fifteen thousand knights were in lino, marching by State brigades, and the procession was more than two hours passing the presidential reviewing stand. Pennsylvania avenue was crowded with more than 100,000 people, a large proportion of them visitors from out of the city.
The president reviewed the procession from a small stand erected on the curbing just in front of the white house. A few minutes after

The saloon question is not unnoticed. Many lodges, the report says, have under act of grand lodges permitting a vote on the subject excluded saloonkeepers from membership in the order. This, the chancellor thinks, is a grand tiling, as it will have a tendency to elevate the character of the lodges. Me hoUI.* that quality, not 1 quantity, is what is wanted. Me says: "1 heartily commend that saloon keepers, bartender* and professional gamblers be proI nounced ineligible to further membership In our order and that the supreme lodge firmly plant Itself upon this moral aud progressive platform, that all the world may know just where we stand."

Their oflieers were mounted and richly uniformed. Every division was headed by a band and displayed handsome banners. Muj. (Jen.

He gives the following as the statistics of membership of tile order according to unofficial reports to July 1, 1MM: Grand lodges, 54 subordinate lodges, 0,2024 total number of members, 405,741. a net increase of 72,025 members during the last two years.

Wuite was on Tuesday arrested and brought before United States Comitiissioner Hinsdale, charged with violatiou of the postal laws. So quietly was this dono that the governor was trying his own ease before the commissioner before, the oflicials at the state house were uware of the arrest. Attorney (ieneral Sales hastened down to the federal building to assist in the defense, but arrived too late. Tho governor was held to appear on Thursday, along with Police Commissioner Dennis Mullins,
Chief of Police Armstrong ami Matron Kate Dwyer, who subsequently were arrested and held.
READ}*

Go to Jail.
OOT. Waito contested the right of any one to arrest him while he was filling the gubernatorial chair. He became indignant when told he would have to furnish bail. "1 will not," he declared in the most positive tone. "1 am governor of tho state and have duties to perform. If you want to put mo in jail you may do so."
District Attorney Rhodes told the court that the evidence of Chief Armstrong clearly implicated the governor, and he Insisted that the defendant be held. "Chief Armstrong Is mistaken," retorted the governor. "1 never had tho letter iu my possession."
After some discussion the governor consented to sign a recognizance boud. In signing it ho objected to the amount —£3,000—and it was accordingly reduced to 8100. Then ho walked out iu company with his two step-sons. The governor smiled during the examination and controlled his temper admirably.
Cause of tho Arrcnt.
The letter that caused all tho trouble was addressed to "Matron Likens, City Hall, Denver," and was sent by a man named Jesse l'arr, from I'ueblo. The letter la a request for a housekeeper who might be induced to marry the writer. A statement followed of his position and circumstances. Tho letter, apparently, was written in good faith, but it never reached Mrs. Likens, who had been dismissed. The inference that the writer of this letter was actuated by improper motives and that Matron Likens may have engaged in a nefarious trallic was made by some of the city hall crowd. Mrs. Likens finally heard of tho existence of this tier and made complaint to the postal inspector. Ho investigated the matter and secured the letter from Commissioner Mullins. He submitted a series of questions to all the parties interested aud upon receiving replies caused the arrests. (iov. Wuite claims that bis replies entirely exonerate him. The letter was read to him. but he never held It in Ills hand, nor was ho instrumental in causing the discharge of Mrs. Likens. This affair has created great excitement and will make the political situation livelier than ever. The county convention will be held Saturday, and tho opponents of Gov. W'aitc will use thiB city hall row in their efforts to prevent Waito delegates to the convention from being chosen.
