The hearing was begun yesterday in the case of Eugene V. Debs, Geo. W. Howard, L. W. Rogers and Sylvester Keliher, officers of the American Railwsy Union, charged with ccntempt of Court in’ disobeying the injunc- tion restraining them from interfering with the transmission of the United States mails and the movement of interstate commerce. United States Judges Wood and Grosseup were on the bench. A great crowd thronged the United States court hou: ‘The prosecu- tion was represented by United States Dis- trict Attorney Milchrist, Special Counsel Edwin Walker and Assistant District At- tcrney Hand, while the Santa Fe railroad was represented by ex-Corporation Counsel John Miller and E.’A. Bancroft. Attorney Gregory opened the main case with the suggestion that the hearing of Mr. Debs and the others. be postponed until af- ter the trial under the indictments pending against them, but the suggestion was not entertained by the court. ‘The information against the traversers was read by the dis- trict attorney apd the answer by the coun- sel for the defendants. Attorney Erwin moved formally that the defendants be dis- missed. He also asked that the government elect whether'it woul? try the prisoners on the original indictment or on the injunction. Judge Woods replied that the government would elect hy going on now. ‘The Motion to Dismiss. Attorney Gregory, began his argument in support of the motion to dismiss the bill. Mr. Gregory contended that as‘ this was a criminal proceeding, an answer under oath that he was not guilty was all the defense a rerson cited for criminal contempt could be called upon to make. He could be tried for crime only by a jury. Proceedings of this kind should not be resorted to er permitted to take the place of the laws of the land. The court should decide in favor of liberty. He said he was not one of those who in supposed friendliness to the uefendants were disposed to criticise the action of the court in issuing the injunction. He did not believe the court was trying to enforce the criminal statutes by means of an injunction, or that the court would issue an injunction for any such purpose. “The doctrine of this injunction is," inter- rupted Judge Woods, “that it is not to be vsed to restrain crime. Injunetions are not issued for that purpose, yet an order may be entered to restrain acts which involve crime. The courts acted on that theory Mr. Gregory, resuming, said the injunction restrained the defendants from preventing the employes by threats, intimidation, force, violence or persuasion from perform- ing their duties or inducing them by threats, violence, foree or intimidation to leave the service of the roads. In the injunctional erder the word persuasion was stricken out. Judge Woods interrupted the speaker, re- marking that the court had refused to en- join men from soliciting other men te leave their work. The question is now in the court of appeals in the Northern Paciric case, and the court had no desire to inter- fere with it. Question of Interference. Mr. Gregory, resuming, said the injunc- tion did not enjoin the leaders of the union from advising men to quit work. “The injunction,” said Judge Woods, “was @ general order not to interfere with the operation of the roads. Whether advising was an interference Is a question to be de- cided.” Mr. Gregory contended that as long as people obeyed the laws they could not be held responsible for the iawlessness of oth- ers. He admitted that there was violence in the recent strike, and the men who com- mitted it were guixty of violating the in- junction. The people who advised violence were also guilty, but there was not a line in the information that the defendants either committed or advised any violent acts. Judge Grosscup said the theory of the government was that violence was the nat- ural consequence of the telegraphic orders sent by the defendants. Attacked the Answer. Mr. Gregory was followed by Mr. Walker, for the prosecution, who attacked the an- swer vigorously. He said the answer was not a full reply to the charges in the !n- formation. It denied all knowledge of the telegrams with one exception, and the gov- ernment would like to have the opportun- ity to show that there was an answer re- ceived to each message and that it was received by the officers of the Railway Union. All the strike orders which had re- sulted in the stoppage of commerce and the maiis came from the office of the union in Chicago, and they were responsible for everything that happened in consequence, even to the loss of life. He said an an- swer in a court proceeding wus sufficient to discharge the acdused at common law, but in an equity proceeding the court could hear the evidence of both sides. At the conciusion of Mr. Walker's argu- ment court adjourned. Late Strike Notes, The general executive board of the Knights of Labor held an informal meeting yester- day in Omaha, but they did not transact any business. In the afternoon the fuli board began its work in secret session. General Master Workman Sovereign de- clared the strike was still on and said that representatives of the order reported from Chicago that the railroads were not hand- ling freight and would nyt be able to under present conditions. The railroad managers, he said, were whistling to keep up their courage. United States Commissioner Bloodgood has rendered a decision in the railroad strike case, holding C. 8. McAuliffe, Frank W. Archibald, Eugene V. Debs and several others for trial on the charge of conspiring to obstruct the mails. Though Debs is mentioned in the decision no bai! is fixed for him, and he ts thought to be sufficiently cared for in Chicago. The striking railroad employes at Port- land, Oreg., have formally declared the strike off. The Situation at Poulliman. Contrary to expectations the Allen car wheel works did not start up yesterday at Pullman. Out of the fifty men expected to to go work only three reported for duty. Police were thick in the town, and the white-ribboned strikers were out in force. In several instances word was brought to the police that workmen were prisoners in their own homes. Officers sent to relieve the men found lines of strikers guarding the front and back doors, but nothing more than orders were required to disperse them. —+e+- — Northern Pacific Bondholders. President Ives of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company has issued a aireviar le: ter. to holders of the 2d, 34 and consolidate # mortgage bonds of the company, in which he calis attention to the letter issued Dy the ors, on March reorganization committee and remarks that subsequent developments justify the critcisms made therein. He calls attention to the present impracticabillty of the preparation of a satisfactory plan of re- organization, seeing that there is no fit basis of reports of earnings on which to rest a scheme President Ives repeats his former recom- mendations to bondholders to retain con- trol @f their bonis at present and confide them to a committee, which is al willing. to indicate its plans and says no possible harm can come to bondhollers by jelaying action until such a committeé is formed, which will be done in due time.

The summer of 18% will be noted as a period when the youth of Washington was without a novelty in the line of cooling refresh- ments, The year of heat, 1894, however, will long be thought of as the time when the snowball came whizzing into the fleld of thirsty humanity. In some respects the snowball is a worthy successor to the slab of hokey-pokey. It is as cool as the slice of frozen sweetness—perhaps sweeter. It seems to go right to the spot, and there- is a sort of frigid swishiness that reminds cne somewhat of the north pole and the} Wellman expedition. But in other regards. the hokey-pokey is a thing to be regretted. It was firm, and could be eaten like a slice of bread. There was an air of an improcpptyt banquet about it that can never emu- lated by the elusive snowball. The flavors were more distinct, and probably more en- during. They gave to the hunk of zeroness an atmosphere of refinement that the aver- age snowball artist is not able to impart to his wares. But, then, the hokey-pokey cost a nickel, while the snowball goes at a cent apiece. This is a great advantage on the part of the later edition of congelation. It appeals to a larger range of consumers. It has carried the joys of gelidity to thirsty thousands, whose impecuniosity summer before last compelled them to forego the pleasures of hokey-pokey. Perhaps it is a case of evolution. Perhaps it is the inevit- able cheapening in the absolute necessi- ties of life caused by the hard times. Per- haps it is due to the spirit of competition. At all events the snowball is a great suc- cess. Its manufacturers and vendors are increasing with each day, and its fame is spreading quite as fast as did the lucious progact of the celebrated and lamented Frank Storty’s freezers. And, by the way, what has become of Frank Storty? The day was, a couple of summers ago, when his name was a household word, when his little carts were to be seen on every hand, and when his coffers were filling with the nickels of thousands of thirsty folks. Frank's strong-lunged servitors made the air vocal with their praises of their arctic wares. There was a swing, a reckless rhythm, a mad midsummer abandon about their cry: ‘“Hokey-pokey ice-cream, five cents a packag The accents fell so sweetly and convincingly upon the “hoke” and the “ice” and the “five” and the “pac! The cry had all the elements of a dogday madrigal. It seemed to charm the 5-cent piices out of the pockets of weary hearers like the pipe of the pied musician won the rats from their holes in Hamelein town. Particularly on Sat- urday afternoons when Sousa was soft- ening the hearts of his friends at the White House grounds with his lovely music did Frank Storty’s agents ply their packages with great success. On the gala days of hot weather, July's Fourth, and other occasions of great leisure,rank’s frozen stock was at a high premium. Some- body once tried to estimate the amount of money spenf by, the youth of Washington in these artic articles, but the task was too diticult and the sum was abaa:oned, with the total already mounting into the thousands of dollars. Now, the question is: What has become of the hokey-pékey? Is it gone forever? Has the public taste changed so completely that it cannot be revived? It cannot be that the snowball has driven it from the market, for the hokey-pokey had been gone at least a séason before the snowball was Invented, or, at least, introduced here. Last r there was a hiatus, unfilled by any variety of cold merchandise. It may be that the popular taste has changed, and that the original Frank Storty, together with his follwers and imitators, took wain- ing of the wane of enthusiasm and with- Grew from the marts long enough to think up something new. There is one thing quite sure, and tha is that these summer tastes o fickle. The tlace demands noveitles. Snow- at demand this year to a but it is to be predicted that the in its present form, with its ac- ying flavors, will not last as jong as did the hol pokey, notwithstanding the he variations of taste to be noted In the parched population of this sun-dried com- munity are felt most particularly by the soda-water men, who are put to their wits’ | ends to find attractive variations upon the theme of fizz, sweetness r and coolness. Names are chang: colors are varied, a | little more sirup or a litile less gas may be adde: new and lo! the market is flooded with drinks, Combinations of tonics and plain throat washes are made to please the | consciences of the folks who are “1 about what they drink in summe the guise of “building up the s “toning the nerves” these g drink ns of harmless so other drug store flzz and really believe that they are taking a course of treatment. Brilliantly painted sign boards, standing just outside the door, lure the hypochon- driacs into the precincts of the lemon phos- hate and the pineapple shrub. Physiciaus je do not get in the way of these ons, for they have the druggists’ for it that there is nothing really mful in the mixtures. Then, too, the druggist always ha ery good remedy ‘something quite as E per.” \d Watches and diamond rings and other alluring articles are given away as at- tractiot nd the competition between the nd other dealers in soda is be- coming something quite alarming. Is there to be an experience here as there was in New York a couple of summers ago, when the saloon keepers warred among them- selves in the race for custom? They first began to increase the size of the beer glass and finally there was nothing sold along the thirsty thoroughfares like the Bowery and 6th avenue but great vessels, larger than the old-fashioned schooner. The price at first remained stable, at 5 cents. It was then called “the workingman’s glass,” and the customer had his choice, at even rates, between that and the ordinary small glass. Then the strife became hot again and the most enterprising of the dealers sold nothing but the “workingman’s glass.” But that was not enough, and the price went to four cents, and finally to three. There was no telling what might have hap- pened had the competition gone on any further. It as surmised that in another month the saloon men would be paying premiums to customers for drinking their beer, but finally the downward progress of Ss stopped and the saloon men recov- enses, formed a union and re- stored the old rates, but with a slightly larger glass than had prevailed before the war. But how the “growlers” and the “free lunchers” did enjoy themselves while the strife was on! There cannot of the soda wate Particular Under m rlass very well, for the present allowance 1 about as much as the erdinary human betng can hold. There is an enthusiasm ‘about the ga s drink that prevents one from over drinking. It nas a bad habit of refusing to stay drunk— that is, drank—well, at any rate, It won't be downed. So ‘what are the poor drug store men to do? They cannot very well give a houses’ and lots under the present condition of -the-real estate market. ‘They might try European trips or steam yachts, but they aré’not novel. No, the day has come for the gallant intellect of some clever American to devise a new drug store drink, not a new drink that is merely a combina- | but a reaily | tion of somé! ofl materts new drink, built out of new goods and put up in a new.way. Then it will have to be sold at a jobrlot rate, so that. the young man who ts ‘cutting a wide swath on a small salary can treat all his girl friends of a summer evening and feel real gen- erous. It should be put on the market at something like the street car tickets, six for a quarter, or perhaps the most enter- prising druggists will find it profitable to make special prices for couples and sell this new nectar at the convenient price of two for five. Here is a great chance for con- fined genius to spread itself. What is to be the drink of the future?

Mr. Ricord has just re- seen at the Riggs House last night did not see any ground for doubt that Japan and China, would go to war over the Corean question. “On our way from Japan,” said Mr. Ricord, “we met a large number of Japanese transports bearing troops to Co- rea, as well as several gunboats. The fact is that Japan is very anxious for a war with China, in my opinion. Anything that will serve to divert the attention of the people from the lively political conflict that is\ progressing with such bitterness in the empire would be welcomed. The two great parties in Japan are the conservatives and the progressionists. The conservatives don’t like the new constitution and they want to abolish the treaty under which foreigners in open ports are subject to the jurisdiction of the consuls of their respective countries alone, instead of the Japanese courts. The effect “of such action would be hurry bes 8 foreigner doing business in Japan it Of the country, except the missionaries. The ionists are championing the re- tention of existing treaties, and the spats betw the leaders of the two parties in the national legislature of Japan are as exciting as the differences up there in the white marble building on the hill. The Japanese appear to be pretty confident of being able to whip China if it comes to a real fight, because they feel that Kussia and France would take a hand, and that the eventual outcome of the difficulty would. be the partition of Corea’s territory be- tween Japan and Russia.” | “The work of a car tracer for one of the big -raHroad companies {is an interesting avocation,” said George Cartwright of In- dianapolis at Wormley’s this morning. “hk. held the position for some time with the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road, and the last car I found for the company was. on a siding of the Mexican Central railroad, 2,500 miles from the place it ought to have been. It seems to be preposterous, at first glance, to think that such a thing as a rail- road car could get lost, but right this minute in the United States I venture to say there are 300 or 400 strayed or stolea freight cars that the tracers are doing their level best to locate and recover. They get lost as easy as rolling off a log. For in- stance, a shipper along the line of the C, B. and Q. will send a carload of freight to some point in the south, Memphis, for in- stance. When the car is unloaded the road upon whose tracks it may be at the time may need a car at once, an} have none of its own at hand. It is customary for the big roads to use each other's cars in such emergencies, so the C. B. and Q. car is taken, and off it goes, perhaps, into another system. In this way it gets mixed up.

Recently car tracers from all over the country have been gather- ing in Chicago and at other points where the trains have been burned, trying to find out about their particular cars, and I have been mighty glad that I'm no longer in the business.” “The recent ruling of the Navy Depart- ment that sailors shall receive their pay every month is a very fair and just propo- sition on its face, but I think it will play the dickens with discipline aboard ship,” said a well-known naval officer at the Ebbitt this morning. “With money in his pocket and some place to spend it dead in sight Jack is a pretty nervous and restless individual, and I believe the new order of things will increase the percentage of de- sertions “frorm the navy to a very high figure. The average sailor man is a queer combigation, and his chief pleasure, as a rule, ¢ found in dalliance with drink. While drunkenness In the navy is not as prevalent now as it was some years ago, still there are few teetotalers among the men. Of course there are very rigid rules which prevent the introduction of Mqucr among enlisted men on board ship, but they still manage to get it in a variety of ways. I remember once when down in the West Indies I was acting as officer of the deck and a boat load of half-tipsy Jacks came aboard. My attention was called to the rather rotund ‘hppearance of a sailor whose nickname was ‘Skinny Jack." The man was attenuated to such an extent that it gave one a pain to look at him, and yet, on this day, while his face retained its hatchet-like sharpness, his body appeared to be almost dropsical in its rotundity. I made up my mind to find out what it meant, so I ordered all the returning sailors to stand aside and be searched. Every. n other's son of those men had a long skin, such as sausage is stuffed in, half filled with rum and wound around his body beneath his shirt. ‘Skinny Jack,’ in trying to carry out his desire to bring more than his share of the contraband liquor aboard, had allowed his ambition to o’er- leap itself, and he was wound two or three layers deep with skin bags full of rum. You never saw such an utterly miserable. set of men in your life as those fellows were when the quartermaster took the skins to the side and cut holes in them,and after allowing the fiery liquor to run over: board, threw the skins after it. That very night, though, ‘Skinny Jack’ became up- rcariously drunk, and we were all at a loss to find out where he got the liquor. It was discovered that the shillalah-looking stick that ‘Jack’ had been in the habit of car- rying on his excursions ashore was hollow from its stem to its stern, and that he had brought it back filled with liquor, so, in spite of the confiscation of the skins of rem, Jack had managed to bring enough. aboard to get drunk on anyhow. “I was once on another boat away out at sea when we began to notice drunkenness among the crew. A search of the men's quarters was made and not a sign of liquor ‘as discovered.
