The Chinese, with their usual cowardice, deserted, and when given orders to resist the advance of the enemy turned and fell upon their Bwords, preferring to commit suicide rather than bo slain by the Japanese. The Jnpanese otlicers and men fought like tigera Some of the methods of warfare used were ridiculously grewsome and harrowing. For instance, the Chinese, it is told. used old-fashioned bowls slung on poles and filled with sulphuric and other bad-smelling, deadly acids, which kill, perhaps, more quickly than a rifle shot. One bowl cast in among a dozen soldiers kills every man in a few seconds. The Mongols also resorted to woodeu axes and to long bamboo poles. Many of them threw away their guns when they caught a glimpse of the enemy surrounding them.

CHICAGO. Aug. 1.—George M. Pullman has been asked to appear before the labor commission to give testimony as to the difficulty between him•elf and his employes. It was said that Chairman Carroll D. Wright of the commission had a personal interview on Saturday with Mr. Pullman and informed him that he would be requested to testify. J\ist what Mr. Pullman's answer was could no£ be learned, because Mr. Wright positively refused to give at this time any information as to what witnesses the commission might call before it. Whether Mr. Pullman had acceded to or declined to comply with the request, and what course the commission would pursue in the event of MR Pullman proving contumacious, wfljnld all appear in proper time in the proceedings of the commission, Mr. Wright said.

It was said also that requests similar to that sent to Mr. Pullman were sent to several of the general managers. So far a-j could be learned, only one of them have responded thus fan

The largest audience that has yet attended the meetings of the labor commission was present at yesterday's session, the attraction being tlie presence of President Deba. "Please tell in your way the history of the recent strike and boycott, Mr. Debs," said Commissioner Wright "Early in May I received at my home ia Terre Haute a telegra.gj from Vice-President Howard at Chicago informing me that there was a probability of a strike at Pullman," said he. "We had just won a strike on the Great Northern road and I feared that some of our men, flushed with the triumph of the Great Northern strike, might precipitate us into other disturbances.

not desired. I came to Chicago on May 11 and went to Pullman to see for my.self the condition of the employes. "I found the regulations of the income and expenses of the Pullman employes were so adjusted that every cent the employes earned found its way back in one way or another Into the pockets of the Pullman company. The wag'es had been reduced until the men could not earn enough to live on: and not only that, but the men were going steadily Into debt I found the employes could not leave Pullman if they wanted to. They told me that conditions there were extremely repugnant to many of them, but that they had not the means to leave the town. Their wages had been reduced and they were obliged to draw on their savings, and now these were gone. The employes had nothing to live on and something had to be done. "After my investigation I was satisfied that the employes were justified in striking, and I resolved as president of the American Railway Union to do all in my power, under the law and in justice, to fight the wrongs of those people" "Were not some inflammatory telegrams sent out by you?" asked Commissioner Reman. "No inflammatory telegrams were sent out, as I understand it," replied Mr. Debs. "How about the 'buy a gun' telegram'."' "I can explain that. One of our secretaries was L. P. Honedict. from Rutte, Mont. Part of his duty was to reply to some of the hundreds of telegrams we received. I could not attend personally to all of them and Renediot seut the 'buy a gun' telegram to his immediate superior, the man who employed him at Rutte. The phrase buy a gun' was a playful expression which the two men had frequently used between themselves. 'Navoyour money and buy a gun' was a sort of by-word between them The man at Rutte understood it as a playful expression and has written a letter here exculpating Mr. RenedicL The expression Save your money and buy a gun' had nothing whatever to do with the strike." Mr. Debs uromised to produce the letter.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND 'S |N TENTIONS UNKNOWN.

Nobody at the Capital Seouis to K„„w Whether Ho Will Slffti the TarilT nro or Not—Developments Looked l„r

To-Day or To-Morrow.

WASHINGTON, Aug! 22.—Private Secretary Thurber yesterday claimed to know absolutely nothing as to the intentions of the President regardine the tariff bill. Representative .Mc. Millin of the ways aud means committee was equallj' at a loss regarding the President's intention. lie stated that up to a day or so ago ),e had been of the opinion the President would sign the bill, but the fact that he had delayed thus far in affixing his signature to the nieasure made it look possible he would permit the bill to become a law without taking any further notice of the action by congress on this subject. He had learned from Secretary Carlisle the work of distributing oopies of the tariff bill t0 collectors and other officials of the government had been done without any consultation whatever between the President and the secretary of the treasury. Secretary Carlisle had not been taken into the President's confidence, according to his own story, regarding the intentions oi the chief magistrate on the tariff bill, but he had conducted the business of his office on the assumption that the bill would become a law with or without the President's signature.

Speaker Crisp and his adherents in the house worked on the tip sent them from Gray Gables that the President would not be ready for bnsiaes* before Thursday and secured an adjournment of the house until that day. Inasmuch as the secata held no Bession yesterday, matters were pretty quiet at the capitol and the indications are not favorable for a change before Thursday, when the President may send in the tariff bill and an accompanying message^ This seems to be the consensus of opinion, but there will not be a quorum of either house to receive the communication if the exodus of congressmen for their district continues.

KEEP OUT THE REDS.

An-

Btronar Koport Presented Against archlsts from Europe. WASIIINOTON, Aug. 22.—A strong report favoring the rigid exclusion and deportation of alien anarchists has been made by the committee on judiciary. The report states there is full constitutional power for the enactment of the proposed law and that there is urgent necessity for the immediate passage of such a measure.

The objection made to Senator Hill's bill are that the provisions made in it for the deportation of anarchists are too drastio.» It is claimed any person adjudged an anarchist could be deported under its provisions, even if he had been in this country for many years. Senator Hill does not think this claim is sufficient to cause any trouble, as it_is jjot likely that innocent persons will be made suffer, and that it will be enforced only against those who are very objectionable, and whom all society would desire to see removed from this country to Buch countries as they emigrated from.

Objects to tho Anarchist Bill WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—There w-as bot a quorum present when the house began its session yesterday. The senate bill for the exclusion and deportation of alieu anarchists was called up. Mr. Warner (I)em., N. Y.) objected to the consideration of the bilL
