He Tells Representative Catchings Why He Allowed the Measure to Become a Law. The tariff bill became a law at 12 o’clock last night, without the signature of the President. In explanation of his course in neither signing nor vetoing the bill Mr. Cleveland sent the following personal letter to Rep- resentative Catchings of Mississippi last evening: EXECUTIVE MANSIO: WASHINGTON, August 2 Hon, T. C. Catchings. My dear sir: Since the conversation I had with you and Mr. Clark of Alabama a few days ago in regard to my action upon the tariff bill now before me, I have given the subject further and most serious considera- tion. The result is, I am more scttled than ever In the determination to allow the bill to become a law without my signaure. When the formulation of legisiation which it was hoped would embody -democratic ideas cf tariff reform was lately entered up- on by Congress nothing was further from my anticipation than a result which I could not promptly and enthusiastically indorse. It is, therefore, with a feeling of the ut- most disappointment that I submit to a denial of this privilege. I do not claim to be better than the masses of my party, nor do I wish to avoid any responsibility which, on account of the passage of this law, I ought to bear as a member of the democratic organization. Netther will I permit myself to be separated from my party to such an extent as might be implied by my veto of tariff legislation, which, though disappointing, ts still charge- eble to democratic effort. But there are provisions in this bill which are not in line with honest tariff reform, and it contains inconsistencie: nd crudities which ought not to appear in tariff laws or laws of any kind. Besides, there were, as you and I well know, incidents accompanying the passage of the bill through the Congress, which made every sincere tariff reformer unhappy, while influences surrounded it in its latter stages and interfered with its final construction, which ought not to be recognized or tolerated in democratic tariff reform counsels. And yet, notwithstanding all its vicissi- tudes and all the bad treatment it received at the hands of pretending friends, it pre- sents a vast improvement to existing con- ditions. It will certainty lighten many tariff burdens that now rest heavily upon the people. It 's not only a barrier against the return of mad protection, but it fur- nishes a vantage ground from which must be waged further aggressive operations against protected monopoly and govern- mental favoritism. I take my place with the rank and file of the democratic party who believe in tariff reform and who know what it js who refuse to accept the results embodied in this bill as the close of the war, who ere not blinded to the fact that the livery of democratic tariff reform has been stolen and worn in the service of republican pro- tection, and who have marked the places where the deadly blight of treason bas blasted the counsels of the brave in their heur of might. The trusts and combinatiocns—the com- munism of pelf—whose machinations have prevented us from reaching the success we deserved, should not be forgotten nor for- given. We shall recover from our astonish- ment at their exhibition of power, and if then the question is forced upon us whether they shall submit to the free legislative will of the people's representatives, or shall dictate the laws which the people must obey, we will accept and settle that issue as one involving the integrity and safety of American institutions. I love the principles of true democracy because they are founded in patriotism and upon justice and fairness toward all in- terests. I am proud of my party organiza- tion because it is conservative, sturdy and persistent in the enforcement of {ts prin- ciples. Therefore I do not despair of the efforts made by tne House of Representa- tives to supplement the bill already passed by further legislation, and to have engraft- ed upon it such modifications as will more nearly ‘meet democratic hopes and aspira- tions. I cannot be mistaken as to the necessity of free raw materials as the foundation of logical and sensible tariff reform. ‘The ex- tent to which this is recognized in the legislation already secured is one of its encouraging and redeeming features; but it fs vexatious to recall that while free coal and iron ore have been denied us, a recent letter of the Secretary of the Treasury dis- closes the fact that both might have been made free by the annual surrender of only about $700,000 of unnecessary revenue. 1 am sorry there is a common habit of un- der-estimating the importance of free raw materials in tariff legislation, and of re- garding them as only related to concessions to be made to our manufacturers. The truth is, their influence is so far reaching. that If disregarded, a complete and_ beneficent scheme of tariff reform cannot be success- fully inaugurated. When we give to our manufacturers free raw materials, we unshackle American en- terprise and ingenuity, and these will open the doors of foreign markets to the recep- tion of our wares and give opportunity for the continuous and remunerative employ- ment of American labor. With materials cheapened by their free- dom from tariff charges, the cost of their product must be correspondingly cheapened. Thereupon, justice and fairness to the con- sumer would demand that the m=nufactur- ers be obliged to submit to such a read- justment and modification of the tariff upon their finished goods, as would secuze to the people the benefit of the reduced cost of their manufacture, and shield the consumer against the exaction of inordinate profits. It will thus be seen that free raw mater- ials and a just and fearless regulation and reduction of the tariff to meet the changed cenditions, would carry to every humble home In the land the blessings of !nczcased comfort and cheaper living. The millions of our countrymen who have fought brave- ly and well for tariff reform should be ex- horted to continue the struegle boldly, chal- lenging to open warfare and constantly guarding against treachery and half-heart- edness in their camp. Tarif reform will not be settled until it is honestly and fairiy settled in the interest and to the benefit of a patient and Jong-suf- fering people.

BRECKINRIDGE Miss Mary Desha Appeals to the Voters of Kentucky. She Urges the Defeat of Her Former «i Denounces chy Congressmen. Miss Mary Desha, sister of Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge’s first wife, has written an open letter to the voters of the Ashlafid district of Kentucky, appealing to them to defeat her former brother-in-law. Miss Desha’s letter, in full, is: “To the Men and Womea of the Blue Grass: “I have hesitated for many days before writing this letter, because I know-the pre- judices of Kentucky men and their opinion that if a woman lifts her voice against the ‘established order of iniquity’ she is out of her sphere. But the occasion is so grave that I venture, even at the risk of shocking my friends, to tell you some truths which it is necessary for you to know, knowing well you will never hear them from Ken- tucky men who have been in Washington. They are bound to keeping silence, either trom the feeling of loyalty, which is much stronger in man than woman, or from a oe feeling that makes them wondrous ind. “That Colonel Breckinridge will be re- turned to Congress has never for one mo- ment entered my mind. The very thought of it is an insult to the state whose boast has been that her men were brave and her women virtuous. By indorsing Col. Breck- inridge you would accept his and Col. ‘Thompson's platform—that all men are Nbertines. If ail the men of the state are libertines, the women cannot be pure, and your vote for him would be an announce- ment to the world of the unchastity of your women. I am not troubled about his re- election, but I am afraid that the politicians will send some one like unto him. If they succeed in renominating him or some other immoral man, will the reputable portion of the community unite on a man, regardless of politics, who can lift the solled banner of the Ashland district, cleanse its stains by a pure life, and bear it with such honor that we, who live in Washington, and have been deeply humiliated, may again be able to say, with uplifted heads, ‘We are Ken- tuckians?” “The plain truth Is that of all the im- moral delegations in Congress that of Ken- tucky has the reputation of being the worst. With the Taulbee and Breckinridge scandals and the low obscenity of Thompson, you will not wonder at it. What we need from the Ashland district is a clean, pure man, with brains enough to know that it is a man's actions and not his religious twaddle that make for righteousness, and not brains erough to fool a whole community for half a century into thinking him a Christian and a gentleman when he ts directly the re- verse. See to it if you must have allitera- tion on your banners that instead of ‘Breck- inridge and brains’ you have a name that will go well with ‘morality.’ “To the women of the blue grass I give my grateful thanks that they have remem- bered my sister—her faithful, beautiful life— and have shown by every means in their power their appreciation of it and their de- testation of the man who dishonored her while living, who has desecrated her mem- ory and disgraced her children. “To the confederate veterans I would say —living she never forgot you; in persecu- tien, in triai, in exile her own people were always remembered. You passed resolu- tions of respect when she died and followed her to the grave with almest the honors given to a soldier. Stow that your protes- tations were sincere by retiring to private life the man who has committed the un- pardonable sin against her, and by sending to Congress a respectable, reputable, honest wan to lift Kentucky—the state she loved so well—back to its proud place among its sister states. “With pride in Kentucky's past, with shame and confusion that even one man is left within her borders who is willing to see her humiliated; with an abiding trust in the final triumph of law and order, decency ard morality in her midst, Iam if RY DESHA, “A Citizen of the Ashland District of Ky.” tee BACK FROM CAMP, The War Department Guards Return After a Profitable Ten Days’ Abse The War Department Guards, company eC.

Fecster, who found his task an easy one, as the men under him ab- stainel from any display contrary to good order ard military discipline. As camp had to be broken and a thou- sand little things to be done, revetile was sounded at 5 o'clock insteal of half an hour later. The company had eariy break- fast, and then began the packing of in- dividual property and knapsacks. At o'clock Capt. Wilson gave the word, and simultaneously every tent in the War Di partment Guards’ camp went down t gether. The camp equipage was quick folded, put into an express wagon, and started for the depot. After camp had been broken and all things gotten in readiness for the start homeward, the men were given half an hour in which to say good-bye to their many Sea Isle City friends. Nearly every member of the company took advantage of this privilege, and started off at double time to have a short talk with some pretty girl. They did not have to go far, as half a hundred young ladies had by this time surrounded the camp, and were bombarding it with their smiles. Promptly at 8:43 o'clock Sergt. Feaster shouted “fall in,” and the command was quickly formed in heavy A few minutes later Capt. Wilson commanced “fours, rixht,” and the visitors stepped off in a column of fours in the direction of the depot. At the sta- tion a wait of a few minutes was found necessary, and durirg the interval the boys’ old friend Kelly happened along with @ treat fer the crowd, At 9:15 there was a toot-toot, and train movea slowly out to the or cheers and counter cheers. It is deubtful if any military organization ever receive] such a hearty display of friendship as did the War Department Guards on their de- parture from the little ocean resort. The compary attracted a good deal of attention as it proceeded through the “city of brotherly love,” and a great deal more while it waited nearly an hour at the de- pot in that city. The run from Philadelphia to Washing- ton was made on a train oceunied almost exclusively by Knights of Pyt and the members of the two organizations were Smyth had charge of the guard, Clark, Streater and The officers retired in charge of Acting the soon on friendly terms. About » o'clock the train pulled into the Baltimore and Potomac depot, and Capt. Wilson marched them straight to their armory, Here the doors were found lotked, but finally an entrance was effected, and the thoroughly tire? out militiamen were glad of the opportunity to discard their heavy equipments. As soon as or- cers liad been issued for the comman‘’ to assemble at the armory at 10 o'clock this morning the boys were permitted to go home. All hands report a first-class time, but they are glad to be back in Washington. ‘The et-campment was a great succes , not enly from a social, but also from a mili- and it is doubtful if more jence could weil have been gottea out of a ten days’ sojourn under canvas than was obtained by this com- pany. — THE SOUTHERN CO: ENTION,.

The growth of Birmingham, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Asheville and many other rapidly rising cities in the south {s only a preface to the possibilities awaiting the teuch of intelligent enterprise and invest- ment there. This morning about 2 o'clock there was a bright blaze on Good Hope Hill. The res- idence of Joseph Worthington caught fire, and his daughter discovered the flames in time to save the furniture. The house, which was worth about $3,000, was com- pletely destroyed. Acting First ROBBING VISITORS Pickpockets and Thieves Arrested Promptly by Police. Bold Burglars Clean a House of Ita Water Pipes—in Court This Mornt: Some of the light-fingered gentry have come here with the crowd of spectators and are making their presence felt, while some of the ordinary run of local thieves are also doing their best to get possession of proper- ty belonging to other persons, While some of the officers are in court prosecuting the captured ones reports of other thefts are being received and the cases being investi- gated. Early this morning a delegation of six or eight of the visiting Pythians appeared at police headquarters and entered a com- plaint. They said that teey stopped at the Emerich Hotel on New Jersey avenue, op- posite the Baltimore and Ohio depot, last night and three of them were robbed of about $60, John W. Leasur of Latrobe, Pa., reports stolen from the camp Sunday night a trunk containing his uniform, Sunday night Mrs. Susan Atkinson’s pock- et was picked of $9, and yesterday a hand- some solitaire diamond ring was stolen from the store of William Breuninger on Pennsylvania avenue by some expert thief who probably visited the store and pre- tended he wanted to make a purchase. ‘The most indignant victim was an oid soldier from Hampton, who gave his name as Richard Brown.

Pullman was before the labor commission at Chicago for nearly three heurs yesterday afternoon. Vice President Wickes, who followed his superior, occupied two hours, and will appear again. At the outset of his testimony, Mr. Pull- nan made a careful preliminary statement of Kis position toward the commission and defining the motives which haf moved the company to establish its manufacturing plant and the homes of workmen as it had. In answer to queries by Chairman Wright, Mr. Pullman told of the contracts for work .ndertaken by the company at a loss, in oréer that the men might be kept at work. He said: “I found we were being under bid by other companies. I undertook to make the Pullman company’s bid lower than any other in order to secure the work for our men. My recollection is that the first order of that kind was for fifty-five cars on the Long Island railroad. Under my instruc- tions the cost of material and labor was figured on the cars on the basis cf the re- dvction of wages. Then I had the matter under conside>a- tion, and in New York for about two weeks, and finally put in a bid for something be- tween $200 and $400 a car below actual cost. I made up my mind that the company would contribute that much rather than to Joy himself, so he says, and, among other places, he visited a heuse in Louse alley, where he saw several females. There he 's he was robbed of $140, but the woman gave him $20. “I saw her take the money,” he said, “but I was so full of benzine that I couldn't stop her. I asked her to leave me §20 to blow out, and she left It.” Iu the Police Court. Policeman Matthews of the eighth pre- cinct was a witness in a court case today, and he had some of the evidence in the case In a bag. Persons who saw him enter the court were under the impression that he had a case of stealing chickens, but in the bag that he carried he had a quantity of lead pipe fixtures from the house of Prof. Riley, in Eckington. The house {s vacant at present, and yesterday morning three colored men went there ard cut the lead pipe from the closet and other water fix- tures. Fortunately, the water had been turned off, and the house was not flooded. The negroes went to the house about breakfast time, and one of them sat on the front doorstep and did guard duty while his companions entered the house through the cellar window. Persons in the neighbor- hood saw the man on guard, who became impatient and used profanity when he call- ed to the men in the house to hurry, At that time the county officers on that particular beat were not in Eckington, ard so the men got away with the pipe end sold it before they were apprehended. When Officers Matthews and Foley learned of what had been done they started in pur- suit of the vandals, ard it was 11 o'clock last night when the third member of the trio was landed behind the bars. The pris- oners gave their rames as George Payne, William Smallwood and William Spriggs. Sn.allwood came here from Richmond only a few days ago. The prisoners were given six months each and fined $50. Then Policemen McGlue and Hause had three negroes, Robert Carter, Thomas King ard George Franklin, charged with burg- lary. They entered the house of Clinton J. Ashton, No. 2614 L street, during the ab- sence of the family and carried off a quan- tity of various articles, uding wearing apparel and household goods. They were held in $500 each for the grand jury. ‘Thomas Johnson, 2 regro,was on trial for entering James Ray's saloon, on D street, lest Sunday and stealing lique A number of witnesses were examined, and Judge Mills held the prisoner for the action of the grand jury. —_—__—. ACTOR DOWNING Mr. Koppel Claims 87,200 for Per- formances of Samson and Delilah. Tragedian Robert Downing, if the allega- ticas of Mr. Charles D. Koppel are true, has, In producing and performing in “Sam- son and Delilah,” trespassed upon the rights, copyrighted ones, of Mr. Koppel to the tune of $7,200, In a suit filed by Mr. Koppel today against Mr. Downing the plaintiff alleges that on the 17th of October, 1880, prior thereto and up to and including the first day of last March, he was the proprietor of a certain dramatic composition, known as “Samson,” a five-act tragedy, by Ippolito d’Aste, aw translated by W. D. Howells. Mr. Koppel claims that he copyrighted the tragedy, as performed by Salviri, the great Italian tragedian, and that while he was yet the proprietor of the composition Actor Down- ing, without the consent of the plaintiff, “did represent and perform and caused to be represented and performed” the said tragedy, under the assumed title of “Sam- son and Delilah,” for thirty-six times, in Denver, Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, Cin- cinnati_ and other large cities. Asserting that Mr. Downing gave such representa- tions of the composition, contrary to the copyright. laws and to the right of the plaintiff, Mr. Koppel claims $7,200—$200 for each of the thirty-six representations, a JOYFUL JAPAN, Negotiations of an Important Treaty With Great Britain. Japan has at last succeeded in an object very dear to her people, and for which the government has striven with all of the arts of diplomacy for many years. News has been received here by the diplomatic corps that a new treaty has just been negotiated between Japan and Great Britain, by the terms of which the claim of extra territorial jurisdiction by the latter is sbandoned, Negotiations looking to the ratification of similar treaties are going on between Japan and the United States and other European nations than Great Britain, and it is as- sumed that they will now speed'ly foliow the example set by the laiter and fully recognize the right of Japan to administer Justice in her own territory. The importance of Great Britain's action, which, by the way, rather tends to dis- credit the stories that she is hostile to Japan in her present war, lies in the fact that it is really the recognition of Japan as a fully civilized power. The assertion of extra territorial jurisdiction has always been confined to barbarous and semi-civiliz~ ed countries, whose igncrance of the first principles of justice and liw seemed to render imperative the reteution by the vivilized nations of the power to administer justice where their own citizens were con- cerned, even as against natives of the semi- civilized country and within its borders. This has been done through the m jum of consular courts, and the system obtains in Esypt, China, Japan, Turkey and many cther countries, aver since the wave of civilization rolled over Japan her sensitive and proud people have resented the continuance of the ex- tra territorial system, not solely because of its workings, but also because it was a standing declaration that Japan was not civilized and was a_ reflection upon the Japanese judiciary. Therefore the action of Great Britain in surrendering this claim in the new treaty is of great importance to Japan as marking a distinct epoch in her advancement to the front rank of nations. a In the Fifth Maryland District.

SUED. have the men idle. Up to the time of the strike, we had lost more than $50,000 in pur- suit of this policy. I explained this person- ally to the men when they were having their conference with Mr. Wickes. Mr. Heathcote said they wanted the wages of 183. I said It would be a most unfortunate thing for all of you if the wages of 1803 were restored, becayse there is not more than six weeks’ work in the shop now, an we would be unabie to get more on a bas! of @e wages of 1893, { Here Mr. Kernan interrupted to know if the-company had not promised to discharge none of the committee that waited on Wickes and whether the promise had been kept. Mr. Pullman said he did not know, but Mr. Wickes would tell. Mr. Kernan then asked: “Were the books shown to the men?” ‘No; they were not, because the men did not apply to see them, and the strike came Friday.” “There were other grievances, were there ‘here were; but Mr. Wickes and Mr. Brown had promised the men to take them up and remedy them wherever there was just cause for complaint.” Judge Worthington asked: “As to this re- ported declaration of yours that you had nothing to arbitrate, were you correctly re- ported?” “I have already explained my views on that subject. Turnirg from the subject, Judge Worth- ington brought out the fact that the com- pany’s original stock of $1,000,000 in Ist had increased to $26,000,000; that the com- pany had paid dividends of twelve per cent during the first two years of its organiza- tion; nine and one-half per cent during the next two years, and eight per cent annually since. and at thé same time had accumulat- ed a surplus amounting to $25,000, He also elicited the statement that the stock of the Pullman Land Association was entirely in the possession of the ‘Pullman Palace Car Company, having been acquired gradualls the investment of the car company’s surplus earnings in the certifi- cates of land association. The original 500 acres or which the town stands was ac- quired by the car company on legal end by the authority of its chart which gave it right to acquire land to the amount needed in the business operations of the company. Recurring to the stock of the company, Mr. Pullman said it represented actual cash paid by the stockholders, as the capital was needed, and the capital stock was increased for the legitimate business of the company. ‘There was no water in it, and none of it Tepresented dividends. | Coming back to the question of arbitra- tion, Mr. Pullman said he remembered no formal attempt to get him to arbitrate with the men. He had declared his willingness to arbitrate. “The only question with me,” he said, “was whether the shops at Pullman should be clesed, or whether we should put prices so Jow as to command all the work avail- able in the country. It was not the amount of loss, but the principle involved that made me adverse to arbitration. “Now, Mr. Pullman,” said Commissioner Worthington, “taking the whole year through, has the Pullman company made or lost money?” “It has made money,” was the answer. “Your have paid your regular dividends?” Yes sir; 8 per cent.” ‘That is something like $2,800,000 you have paid out in dividends for the year?” “Yes, but that includes the latter part of the world’s fair season, which was ex- ceptional.” “Let me ask you, Mr. Pullman, whether you do not think’ a company that pays Gividends of $2,800,000 could not afford to share the losses of its employes, who have worked for it so long?" “The manufacturing business is separate from the business of the sleeping car com- pany. I see no reason why I should take the profits of the 4,200 stockholders in the Pullman Sleeping Car Company and pay men a higher rate of wages than was paid in other parts of the country for the same work, or than was paid by other companies for the same work. Because we have been careful and accumulated a surplus I do not see that ft is a reason we should take the surplus now and pay it out for exception- ally high wage: “Has the Pullmar company during the years of its prosperity ever advanced the weges of its employes voluntarily I do not know as to that. It has always sought to pay fair wages, and the fact that we have never had but one strike is pretty = evidence that the men have been satis- “What do you see that is objectionable in submitting a difference like this to arbi- tration?” “There are some matters that are proper subjects for arbitration, but I cannot arbi- trate on a question where I know the facts to be thus and so. The question as to whether our shops should continue to run at a loss is a thing that could not be ar- bitrate< “Why was it impossible?” “Because it violates the principle that a nan has a right to manage his own busi- ness. “Suppose that arbitrators were to say to yeu, we see you are losing money, but these men have been with you a Jong while; you can afford to share their losses; we think you should, at least, pay them living wage, what would you to that “My point at the time was to work with the men and secure the disbursement of the large sums involved in the contracts, and lose money for the company if the men would agree to bear their share in a re- duction of 20 to 25 per cent in their wages. Judge Worthington wanted to know wherein It was wrong tc take the money of the stockholders and pay higher wages when the management was ready to take contracts at a loss, or take the stock- holders’ money to keep the plant going. Mr. Pullman said the execution of con- tracts at a loss was better for the plant than to let it He idle, “So,” interrupted Mr. Kernan, “you had that in view, as well as the employment of the men? You did not want to stop the plant because you knew that it would be a loss to stockholders, and you did not want to scatter your men, because you knew it would be difficult to get a fcrce together —, that would do economical work?” “Was your salary reduced, Mr. Pull- man?” The witness replied that it was not. “Nor the salaries of superintendent or foremen?” “No.” Mr. Pullman said it was not good policy to reduce the salaries of hixh offi- cials, because men of their caliber were not y replaced. Mr. Pullman was then excused and Vice President Wickes was called. He rehearsed the story of the strike and the part he played in it. He said the discharge of the members of the grievance committee after he had promised that they should not be mo- lested was altogether without his knowledge and was not intentional on the part of the minor officers, who had laid them off. In support of his declaration Mr. Wickes pre- sented the affidavits of foremen who had laid off the committeemen, averring that the discharge had come in the ordinary course of the company’s business and was due entirely to lack of work in the depart- ment where the committeemen were em- aloved.
