All Labor to Be Called Out Monday-Both East and West to e Affected. CHICAGO, July 7.—President Debs was served with the injunction fssued by the United States court some days ago. The in- Junction was served as Debs was leaving the Sherman house this morning after a brief conference with Grand Master Sovereign of the Knights of Labor. Debs did not leave the city last night as was reported. He reached the headquarters of the union before 9 o'clock this morning, and said that he had not been out of the city and did not intend leaving for some time. “I have had no time to leave Chicago,” sald Mr. Debs, “‘and do not expect to leave the city. I shall hold a conference with Mr. Boverelgn, master workman of the Knights of Labor, and it Is probable that a call will be made for the members of Mr. Sover- elgn's order to quit work. The order Is strong In the east, and a general order for the men to quit will make a material exten- slon of the strike. “The order for the knights to trike will Pprobably be a joint one signed by Mr. Sov- erelgn and myself. The members of the order will be called out in the west as well as in the east. Mr. Sovereign admitted this morning that the strike order would probably be issued. He sald that he had telegraphed to the mem- bers of his executive board, and expected to hear from them before he went into the con- ference with Mr. Debs. With reference to the situation, Mr. Sovereign said: “I have been out to the stock yards and have come to the conclusion that it is un- fortunate for the A. R. U. that there are so many hoodlums in Chieago. It is this ele- ment that is destroying property. Time will prove that the union officers are not in favor of violenc The fact that the unions generally have significd their willingness to strike has led to the inference that Messrs. Debs and Sov- ereign may Issue a request for a general strike outside of the Knights of Labor. DECIDED ON THE ORDER. After the conference it was announced that it was settled, so far as Debs and Sovereign can act, that all members of the order of Knights of Labor shall be' called out on Monday next. Mr. Sovereign, yielded readily to the demands of Debs and is now engaged in drawing up the order for the general strike. It will not be in force, how- ever, until signed by the four other members of the executive committee. These are now on their way to Chicago. It the order goes into effect 150,000 men will quit work. STREET CAR MEN TO QUIT. The Journal will print the following: “Dic- tator Debs has decided upon another of his wanton strokes to show the people of Chicago his power. This morning he sent word to the labor organizations on the west, north and south side street railways and on the elevated roads to be in readiness to walk out Monday night. By tying up the city’s means of transit he expects to arouse the sympathy of the public and force public opinion.” The first step in Inaugurating the general strike advised by the Building and Trades council was taken today when all the steam fitters employed at all the stock yards pack- ing houses, except Fowlers, went out. The steam fitters constitute one of the strongest -branches of the building trades alliance. Those who struck went to Uhlich’s hall and had a conference with President Debs. He assured them they would be given all the aid possible. DORSED THE STRIK Big Mass Meetings av San Francisco Declaro In Favor of the Men SAN FRANCISCO, July 7.—Mass meetings held last evening in this city and Oakland endorsed the strikers. The assemblage in this city wds a notable gathering. Metro- politan temple was jammed and thousands unable to obtain admission organized an over- - flow meeting in the open air. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Corporate monopoly was recognized as a common enemy and every point against the Pullman car com- pany was greeted with jeers. Both the presi- dent and his advisers were scored and every mentlon of the name of C. P. Huntington was the signal for loud groans and hisses. Bpeeches were made by A. W. Thompson, who presided; E. T. Hoyt, as a representative of the A. R. U.; N. K. Collter, Alfred Fuhr- man, M. McGlynn, A. T. Rogers and R. T. Allan. Resclutions were adopted promising moral support to the A. R. U.; condemning George M. Pullman and the Southern Pacific; countenancing the strike; attacking federal interference In the difiicuity, and demanding that the military service of the state and na- tion should be remodeled, classitying men fit for duty in such a way that those who have the most property shall be' drafted first into the militia and army and ordered first to the front in the time of insurrection. CANNOT SHIP CASH WEST. Express Companies Rofuse to Handle Money White the Strike Lasts. WASHINGTON, July 7.—The treasury officials have been compelled to postpone all shipments of cash west of the Ohio river in consequence of the strike. In accordance with contracts with the express companies the companies are not responsible for delay in consequence of riots or trouble of that character and acting under the privilege anted them in their contracts the several express companies have notified the officials that they will not accept cash for shipment to points west of the Ohio, Kentucky, Tennes- gee, Mississippl and Loulsiana. This situa- tion 18 unfortunate particularly at this time as pensions are now being paid in Chicago and money Is needed there for that purpose. The subtreasury at Chicago, however, has a considerable amount of funds on hand and it is expected that it will be able to make satistactory arrangements with the banks for any amount they may need for present demands. The treasury officials have been notified to return all cash in transit to the nearest subtreasury at government expense, GOVERNOE STONE'S WARNING, ¥le Says He's Determined to Enforce the Law Kegardless of Consequences. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 7.—Governor Stone has issued a proclamation calling upon the citizens of Missourl to uphold the law. He warns all against interference with elthier passenger or freight trafic and says raliroads must be allowed to run their trains free from Interference if they can find men to do it. He warns all persons that he will enforce the law regardless of consequences. Advices from Adjutant General Wickham at Moberly are that attempts will be made at once to move trains. Sheriff Dameron claims to have discharged all his strike deputies. At Birds Point the Iron Moun- tain is reported relleved, while no further trouble has been experienced at Slater on the Chicago & Alton, The officlals of the Kansas City, Fort Soott & Memphis reports trouble expected at Springfield and the governor has ordered the sheriff to summon a sufficient posses to protect the railroad in 1ts rights. Strikers d & Mass Meeting. OHICAGO, July 7.—An open mass meet- ng was held tonight in Kensington. Over a thousand people were present. Chairman “Phomas Heatheota of the Pullman strike com- mittee addressed the meeting. He depre- cated any violence, and urged the strikers to maintaln decency and good order, but at the same time he besought them not to weaken In their efforts to win the strike. He told them Chief Arthur of the Brother- hood of Locomotive Engineers was in the clty and said the engineers would be or- dered out in a short time. Tin Plate Manufaciuriog Wil Be Resumed, PITTSBURG, July 7.—The tin plate scale was slgned today at a conference of manu- facturers and workmen. This, with the set- tiement of the sheet scale, affects 15,000 men and forty ‘mills in the country. A general resumption will take place next week. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT, There Aro Times When Rallroads Do Not nvoke the Law. OMAHA, July 7.—To the Eitor of The Bee: 1 cannot understand how you know that business men are on the side of the rallroads and organized labor on the side of the laboring man in this strike. I am safe In saying that seven-eighths of the small manutacturers and retail dealers are in sym- pathy with the strikers, but they cannot openly show it, as they are afraid of the rallroads, bankers, ctc., after the strike fs over. The present destruction of property in Chicago I8 not half as destructive on the part of strikers as the destructive element of the railroads against whom. they declare war. They are destroying one small manji- facturer after another and upholding trusts and large corporations in the shape of re- bates in frefght, free passes and special auick service in switching and moving cars, ete,, which must in time destroy the small manufacturers, 1Is not this destruction of property? Now a little In regard to law-abiding cit- fzens. Just look how quick they changed the tariff according to the maximum rate law when the legislature passed it over a year ago. Are we reaping the benefit of their willingness to go according to law? They spit in the face of the law today and tomorrow they ask the same law for pro- tection, What would you do if I should give you a good thrashing today and ask you for protection tomorrow? Would you feel justified in protecting me? No. They are at all times protectcd }y rur laws, whether they are dolng good or wrong, and laboring men, small man- ufacturers and retailers are never protected. What do you think of this? Now about Pullman. How quick he came to terms when his cars were attached for taxes in Omaha awhile ago. How the com- pany sneaked around as long as it could to get rid of paying taxes and I do not know whether they ever did pay them or not. What do they care, they are protected both ways. I hope you can, and if you can you will, state in The Sunday Bee how much taxes Pullman is paying on his cars. Where and how much? If the war will break out for a fact you will see how much trouble Uncle Sam will have to enlist men to pro- tect railroad property. It 1s wonderfully sur- prising how bold these' rallrond magnates are in asking for protection from the same law which they have trampled in the mud a hundred times before. 1 wish I could give you my name, but for fear it will come into wrong hands I must conceal it, although 1 am one of thousands of business men of the same Idea. BUSINESS MAN. P. 8. Ido not think that there is anything wrong in this and I am no crank, but use good judgment and do not like destruction. WILL FIGHT THE TROOP! Onkland Strikers Preparing to Wage Guer- illa Warfare Upon Them. OAKLAND, Cal., July 7.—It the United States troops are sent to Oakland there will surely be a fight. Tonight, when it was reported that the soldiers were coming, the Woman's Sympathetic league, composed of wives and relatives of the strikers, held a meeting and made arrangements to turn Bartlett hall into a hospital. When the news came from Chicago that men had been Killed the women were in session. One of them moved that they pray for their own, and every woman in the hall knelt in silent prayer. The women are preparing bindage: and lint, and fixing cots and beds at their homes. At a meeting of the A. R. U. today the strikers decided not to res'st the troops in a body, but to wage a guerilla war against trains protected by soldiers. In the mean- time the strikers are carefully guarding the raijroad property from injury. MAY SHUT DOWN, Union Pacific Employes May Get a Vacation Without Pay. General Manager Dickinson, in reply to a question as to whether the shops and general offices would be closed pending a settlement of the strike, said that thus far the matter had not been serlously considered, although it might have to be done. “Commencing with this week,” sald he, “the shopmen are only working five days and today it is pretty silent around the shops. Undoubtedly the matter of shutting down will shortly be discussed by the receivers of the company, but nothing has been decided upon as yef Assaulted the United Stutes Marshal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., July 7.—There was a serious riot here this noon. When the west- bound Pennsylvania passenger and mail train pulled into the depot United States Deputy Marshal Ryan of Indianapolls at- tempted to read the court injunction to the 1,000 men assembled there. He was hooted and jeered and some one in the car threw a missile which knocked him down. ~He fell in the midst of the mob and pulled his revolver. Myron, a_leading union man, or- Qered the mob to disperse and the trouble ended. An attempt was. made to arrest one of the rioters, but the feeling was be- coming so bitter that the prisoner was re- leased. Troops Expected at Spokane. SPOKANE, Wash., July 7.—All is quiet in Spokane, The derailed engines which blocked the progress of east bound trains were placed back on the tracks quietly with- out demonstration by the strikers. A com- mittee of over 200 citizens was formed this morning. Two strikers have been arrested and will be brought before Judge Hanford at Seattle to answer contempt charges. The troops at Fort Sherman are expected to- night. Train Rendy to Go After Troops. CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 7.—All business on the Union Pacific between Cheyenne and Ogden has been completely suspended and no trains have been moved tbday. A train is being made up here to go over the Chey- enne & Northern to Orin Junction, where tho Ninth United States cavalry from Fort Robinson will be met and brought here. The troops will be distributed along the line of the Union Pacific. Iters Shut Down. DENVER, July 7.—The Omaha & Grant Smelter shut down tonight indefinitely on account of its coal supply being exhausted and being unable to secure more because of the strike.

Cau tution Awong Mine| FORT DODGE, Ia., July 7.—(Speclal Tele- gram to The Bee)—Abandonment of frelght 1s causing great hardship to Webster county miners. They were out throughout the miners' strike and now this enforced idleness causes great destitution Federation Moe hicago Toduy. CHICAGO, July 7.—President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor will be here probably Sunday. The new complica- tion now to be feared is tho calling out of all labor organizations. That would make | Pollard, Greenville and inrn[)ppoan to re- such a huge body of unemployed men as to vastly Ircrease the crowds and to greatly embarrass tife bhandling of the disorderly element. MINERS MAKING TROUBLE, Those at Spring Valley Looting Stores and Terrorizing Citlzens, SPRING VALLEY, 1iL, July 7.—Embold- ened by being uninterrupted in their looting expedition last night, the viclous mob of foreign anarchists committed more depreda- tlons today. They are filled up with beer and whisky, and since morning (1,000 men and women have terrorized the citizens, This morning the mob visited butcher shops and stores and demanded provisions. Those who refused to give goods to the mob were threatened with looting, and it is probable that the next twenty-four hours will see the destruction of these stores. It is re- ported 200 men from this place are on their way to Ladd, a little mining town four miles distant, to loot the coal company's store at that place. The authorities seem powerless to check the career of reckless- ness, and many people have gone to La Salle tonight in_ terror of their lives. BACK Ll(("' lll'l'l‘lll"t Strike Interferes with Making Up the Usual Monthly Gover: nt Report. WASHINGTON, July 7.—The rallroad strike is having the effect of delaying the answers of the correspondents of the statisti- cal bureau of the Agricultural department to the circulars for Information concerning the crops which is embodied in the rogular reports issued by the department on the 10th fnst. Up to this time the reports of but 1,800 of the leading county corre- spondents have been received out of a total of 2,400. While answers from nearly all are expected before the 10th inst., it is feared that many of them may be received too late for tabulating and use. There are enough answers on hand to make a good average report and the failure to receive replies from all the correspondents will not, it is said, affect the value of the reports to be issued by the department. HOLDIN FIRED ON A PASSENG! Strikers Near Tacomn \pty Their volvers Without Any Serions Results. TACOMA, July 7.—Twenty shots were fired by ambushed men at the Carbonate passen- ger train as it passed the Puyallup Indian reservation, three miles from the depot. The men in ambush are supposed to have been strikers. No one was hurt. SPOKANE, Wash,, July 7.—Nefther side has moved here today. Dickinson’s train is still at the depot blocked by three engines and two cars. The deputy sheriffs are noti- fied that troops will not be sent until the local authorities have exhausted their efforts. General Dickinson was in conference today with the mayor and the city commissioners. The mayor lias taken control of the police force and calls on citizens to assist officers in maintaining order. ~ Last night 100 lead- ing citizens declared for law and order and pledged their services to the authorities. The day passed quietly. One Man Severely Bayoneted, CHICAGO, July 7.—While a wrecking crew was passing Twenty-third street on its return from Forty-seventh street to- night they discovered a number of cars on fire. They attempted to put out the fire and were attacked by a mob of strikers. A sharp hand to hand conflict ensued, dur- ing which one man was severely bayoneted and two others were arrested by a com- pany of the Fifteenth United States in- fantry, who accompanied the wrecking train. At Forty-seventh street and the Fort Wayne tracks some cars were fired in the even- ing, but the flames were extinguished with small loss. R TRALN. Troops Have Another Brush. CHICAGO, July 7.—Captain Kelly and company F, Second Illinois Naticnal guard, were in a second skirmish at Ashland ave- nue and Forty-ninth street tonight. A striker ran along a row of empty box cars and applied a torch to the oil boxes. The sight of the flames made the mob crazy with delight. Captain Kelly's men were met with a shower of stones and reinforcements were quickly summoned and the crowd dis- persed. Some of the rioters were slightly injured by bayonet thrusts. Joseph Warzowski was shot and fatally wounded by United States soldiers tonight. He claims he was merely a spectator in a crowd watching a Panhandle frelght train. Will Carry Christian Endeavorers CLEVELAND, July 7.—A committee from the A. R. U. called at the headquarters of the Christian Endeavor soclety today and as- sured the officers of the soclety that the members of the A. R. U. would do all in thelr power to facllitate the movement of trains carrying delegates to the Christian Endeavor meeting. They also stated that President Debs had been communicated with regarding the matter and that he would undoubtedly make a special effort to get Christian Endeavorers through. Missouri Paclfic Men to Be Called Out, KANSAS CITY, July 7.—It is unofficially stated in strikers' clrcles here at midnight that Debs intends calling out the whole Missouri Pacific system Monday morning. However this may be, the fact remains that the strikers at this point are putting forth every effort to win over this road. Thelr position has weakened during the pat twenty-four hours, and they seem to feel that unless the Missouri Pacific men join them soon the strike will be practically broken. Pennsylvania Men Ordered Out at Toledo TOLEDO, 0., July 7.—J. L. Demar, who is at the head of the A. R. U. in this city, received a message from Debs late tonight to tle up the Pennsylvania yards. The tie- up of the Pennsylvania will stop trafic on the Ann Arbor and Hocking Valley, as these roads used the former's yards, and will probably result in the tie-up of every road in the city. Troops May Be Sent to Hammond. INDIANAPOLIS, July 7.—Governor Mat- thews at a late hour tonight stated that he will consider the question of sending-troops to_Hammond.

MORE DEMANDED Authorities in Germany Are of the Opinion, Present Laws Ample-The Release of Von Kotze Well Recelved. Are vrighted 1801 by the Associated Press.) BERLIN, July 7.—Anarchy seems to be the question of the day and that is no indi- cation that official circles place faith in the efficiency of international measures for the suppression of anarchists. for a revival of the anti-soclalist laws the language of the semi-official press shows clearly that it has not made an impression upon the government. Prince Bismarck's organs have been the noisest advocates of except legislation, but they are being re- minded that at the very time these measures were being applied with the greatest vigor, the most diabolical outrage ever concoc by anarchists was planned and only defeated by mere accident. Had not one of the con spirators betrayed the plot, every living mem- ber of the Hohenzollern family would have been destroyed at the inaugural of the Germanfa monument at Neiderwald. It is stated Chancellor von Caprivi has reported to the emperor that so long as every civili- ized government fs ready to co-operate with- in its frontiers and within the measure of its own laws for the detection and repression of anarchist crimes, there can be no need of a written compact to enforce the performance of duties which are equally prescribed by the common interests of society in every nation. VON KOTZ'S RELEASE WELL RECEIVED. There has been a marked revulsion of opinfon in regard to the Von Kotze affair since the latter's release by order of the emperor. Emperor William, to whom the documents In the case were submitted, is sald to have ordered Von Kotze's release on the ground that there was no similarity between his handwriting and that of the letters and postal cards which caused so much annoyance among the aristocratic fam- ilies of this city. Berliners, however, in- sist that this should have been discovered before the arrest of Von Kotze, who is now on his estate with his wife and daughter. The name of another high official is now circulated as the culprit, but the solutlon of the mystery surrounding the letters seems no nearer solution than it was two weeks ago. A sensation has been caused by the fact that the Voarwartz, the leading social- ist organ, has published another confidential circular, which the ecditor of that paper says he found on his table. The circular was issued by the administration of the Dierdarbarn district and called upon the postmasters to furnish the government the names of all conscripts known to sympa- thize with socialism and anarchy. The gov- ernment will _institute an inquiry into the leakage of official documents which Is be- coming a scandal. It was falsely rumored here yesterday that the celebrated actor Ludwig has committed suicide. The supposed cause was the arrest of his son, who was playing his first en- gagement at Cologne and who stole a large amount of jewelry. There is no motive for the crime, for young Ludwig is well off. He admits the theft, but says he does not recollect committing it. LONDON THEATRICAL GOSSIP. Actors and Actresses Playing Numerous En- gagements in the Courts. (Copyrighted 1584 by the Assoclated Press.) LONDON, July 7.—The hot weather ex- perienced during the past week has pro- duced a corresponding slackness in the at- tendance at the theaters generally, but the great successes of the season, for which seats were booked In advance, have not siffered. The majority of the audiences, however, were small. The actors of London recently have pro- vided many free shows in the law courts, which have been largely attended. For in- stance, an action brought by the discharged conductor of the orchestra of the Lyric theater was commenced on Wednesday last before' Justice Sterling. The testimony pre- sented revealed many secrets connected with that theater. The trouble all arose through the refusal of May Yohe (who has vpen more than one occcasion been reported to have married Lord Hope) to be beund by the ordinary rules of the establish- ment. Finally Lord Hope made it a sine qua non that the conductor should be dis- charged or May Yohe would leave. The conductor went and the lawsuit followed. Before the official receiver, Robert Bu- chanan, playwright, gave many reasons for his failure. Among them was the state- ment that Mr. Buchanan attributes his un- fortunate financial position to the fact that Mr. Frohman did not produce his “Sheri- dan” in the United States. Damaging news- paper attacks upon his works, Mr. Buchanan also sald, assisted in bringing about his troubles. Finally, before Justice Jeune, the divorce suit of the popular Charles Hawley is also attracting large crowds of interested hearers. When Henry Irving produces “King Ar- thur'” n the autumn, it is practically set- tled that Mrs. Ellaine Terrals will play El- laines. “A Modern Eve" at the Market theater on Monday last pleased a critical audience. All present predicted success for the new play, which is a frank and audacious study of perverted womanhood made attractive by some fine character drawings. Mr. and Mrs, Beerbohm Tree played the two leading parts with great spirit, The new opera at the Savoy theater, “‘Mi- rette,” although a charming production, is altogether too conventional in character to retaln the suffrages of an audience accus- tomed to Gilbert and Sullivan. Mr. Sulli- van Tosti, Grossmith and other Savoyards were included in the audience. SEASON ABOUT ENDED. The summer theatrical season Is rapidly drawing to a close. It started extremely bad, but gradually pulled up, and, during the last fortnight, most of the theaters have been doing a very good business. “Faust” seems destined to become a peren- nial at the Lyceum, The 600th performance took place last Saturday and provoked one of those demonstrations of enthusiasm to which Henry Irving and Ellen Terry are accustomed on such occasions, On Monday next “‘Becket” is to be revived for a run of ten nights, and, after a single performance of “The Merchant of Venice" the hospitable theater in Wellington street will be in a state of relache. During Beerbohm Tree's absence on a tour next autumn the Haymarket will pass into the hands of Lewis Waller, who in- tends to produce there a new comedy by Oscar Wilde. Mr. Waller's wife, Miss Flor- ence West, who will presumably play the leading woman's part, is a sister of Mrs. Clement Scott. Almost simultaneously with Oscar Wilde's reappearance as a dramatic author, a clever satire is to be published on himselt and the cult of which he is the head. It Is to be called “The Green Carnation,” the floral emblem of the decadents, and Is the work of a clever young journalist, who has had special opportunity of studying the originals, The book will be published anonymously. The Galely, from which Mme. Rejane has ousted burlesque for the nonce, is doing an enormous business with ‘“Mme. Sans- Al So great has been Sarah Bernhardt's suc- cess at Daly's that Messrs. Abbey and Gray may possibly prolong thelr season, in order to allow of further performances of ‘‘Izeyl" belng glven. The account of the circumstances con- nected with the retirement of Mrs. Langtry from “A Society Butterfly’ and the conse- quent withdrawal of the play, as cabled last week, wis substantlally correct. Mrs. Lang try, it appears, was drawing a salary of $400 a Week, but she positively refused to perform the dance, which was to have been one of the features of the -play. The management insisted that she should pay the salary of & dancer to take her place. Mabelle Stuart, the American serpentine dancer, was en- As for the clamor | gaged for this purpose, but Mrs. Langtry re- fused to her any part of her salary. Thus the dishonored check and other complica- tions. Frederick Cowen's opera, "Signa,” which was produced last Saturday at Covent garden, orlginally written fn four acts, but was on this occasion given in two. At Milan the third and fourth acts were compressed into one, and the latter part of the opora was thus given practically as it was performed at Lascala, while the first and second acts were played as one. NOT AERAID OF WAR SHIPS, Samoan Rebels Defy the Government and Forelgn Naval OMcers. SAN FRANCISCO, July 7.—The steam- ship Monowal arrived today with Samoan advices dated June 20 and Honolulu news up to June 29. The Samoan correspondent of the Assoclated press reports that while there has been little actual fighting the situation Is as critieal as ever, with little prospect of a settlement in the near future. A few days after the sailing of the last steamer the war ships there towed boats contain- ing 2,000 government warriors to Aana, and called on the rebels there to surrender ten chiefs and fifty rifles within four hours, threatening that the guns of the war vessels would shelter the government warriors in making an attack in event of refusal. Twa of the rebel chiefs ran away, but elght others were finally sent aboard the war ships with fifty rifles, only one of which was in working order. The guns were thrown over- board, as had been done with other rifles previously seized and the surrendered chiefs allowed to return to the island. The com- manders of the war ship then ordered both the government warriors and the rebels to erse. The government parly obeyed, but the rebels immediately resumed the pos- session of their forts and sent out defiant messages to the king and commanders of the war vessels. The government troops and rebels are now in camp about two miles apart, both on the offensive. On’the 3d of June the Aana rebels made a night attack on a government par amongst whom King Mal etoa was supposed to be, during the evening hour of praye: he rebels fired a volley into the houses. The fire was returned and the rebels fled, after having captured forty guns and much ammunition, Three of the government party were killed and several wounded The rebels lost an equal number. This is the first knows instance in Samoan war- fare of a night attack having been made. The people are in hourly expectation of serfous outbreaks. An action is brought by Lloyd Osborne, a stepson of Robert Louls Stevenson, against one of the local papers, the Samoa Weekly Herald, which journal has lately been in- dulging in some trenchant criticlsms on the actions of Stevenson and those as- sociated with him. King Malietoa, with the approval of Chief Justice Ide, has released several of the prisoners who were sentenced in connec- tion with the Mataafa rebellion, and has remitted the fines which were imposed upon them. An action has been brought against the government to recover the amount due for medicines supplied and medical attend- ance rendered to the Samoans who were wounded while fighting for the govern- ment. Much indignation is felt at Presi- dent Schmidts' action in endeavoring to evade the payment of this debt. The Samoa treasury is almost empty, and there is not the slightest prospect of its being filled. It is more than evident that the revenues of the island cannot support such officials as a chief justice and president at the salaries now being pald. Owing to the unsettled state of the country, busi- ness Is entirely paralyzed. MINISTER WODEHOUSE REBUKED. In Honolulu all was quiet. There were rumors that the royalists were arming and getting ready to attempt a coup d'etat on the Fourth of July, but the government au- thorities had taken extra precautions against a surprise. The marines on the United States steamship Philadelphia had been al- lowed to land for drill again, and once more the British marines from the cruiser Cham- pion had been refused the same privilege British Minister Wodehouse wrote a letter of protest to the government, and received in reply a sharp letter from Mr. Hatch, min- ister of foreign affairs, stating that the at- titude of the British minister had been un- favorable to the Hawalian government. Glaastone Out of the Ruce. EDINBURGH, July 7.—At the meeting of the Midlothian Liberal association a letter from Mr. Gladstone was read, in which he formally places himself out of the race for re-election. ————— THE TALLEST CONGRESSMAN. When Representative DLorry Unfolds His Length He Mensures Six Feot Six. Ex-Speaker Reed was stretched out on a sofa in the house, says the Washington Post, and Representative Bynum was writ- ing letters. Representative Berry of Ken- tucky passed by. “I'should say,” sald Bynum to Reed, in an offt-hand way, “that Berry was the tallest man in the house.’ A look of ineffable scorn flitted across the face of Mr. Reed. ‘“Bynum,” he said, “why is it that T have always to go around dispensing information to the democratic side? Don’t you know that Curtis of New York is the tallest man in the house? By- num, I am surprised at your ignorance.” And’ Mr. Reed settled back on the sofa as it he had scttled the question forever and forever. “I am willing to pin my faith on Berry,” sald Bynum, quietly. Well,” spole up Reed, “it you will be foolish, T will go you a bottle of wine on E e Out went the couple of pages to hunt up Mr. Curtis and Mr. Berry. Half a dozen members who had overheard, the wager awalted the result. The New Yorker and the Kentuckian came up together. Mr. Curtis tall and straight, Mr. Berry stooping slightly. There was no question as to who was the taller, “There,” said Mr. Reed, with a tone of triumph, “what @id T tell you?"" But at that moment Mr. Berry, having heard the question at igsue, began to unfold himself, so to speak, like the swan-necked woman in the dime museum. His long legs stralghtened out, his back gathered inches unto itself, his head rose up in the air, and presently Mr. Curtis—six feet and ' four inches though he is—was a dwarf. “My God, Berry,” exclaimed Mr. Reed, somewhat irreverently, but with an expres- sion of awe in his voice, “how much of yourself do you keep in your pockets.’ And then the crowd went down and drank wine at Mr. Reed's expens Casting Out a Devil. Mary A. O'Brist of Janesville, Wis., an invalid for twenty-nine years, unable to leave her bed for seventeen years and al- most dumb for fourteen years, now gets up, walks and talks. th is said to have worked a miracle in her case, says a dis- patch to the Chicago Inter Ocean. She prayed fervently. Rev. A. W. Welch and Rev. U. Develier, evangellsts, went to her house Thursday and again Saturday and prayed for her relief. Saturday afternoon Miss O'Brist spoke, then straightened out her feet, and, with a joyful cry, walked across the room. All insisted that their prayers had been heard and answered. Sun- ay the patient was up and about the house and went in a carriage to the evangelists' tent meeting in the afternoon. There was great excitement on Caroline street in the nelghborhood of Miss O'Brist's little home. When the evangellsts came to the city they learned of Miss O'Brist's long confinement. They suggested a united appeal to heaven, which was done, and all joined in fervent prayer for relicf. “Come out of this, woman, thou devil,” sald Rev. Mr. Welch, finally, and Miss O'Brist, without previous preparation, arose and walked about her room. Sunday even- ing she held an impromptu prayer meeting on her front porch, i Towns with Christian and Surnames There are several towns in the United States with titles composed of both the Chrlstian and surname of some local celebrity. In Tom Greene county, Texas, there is one named “Ben Ficklin” and another in the same state Is called “Ben Sheeler.” New York has a town named “Tilly Foster, North Carolina a ‘Nat Moore,” Ohio & “Maria Stein,” Arkansas ‘a ‘Jenny Lind" and Indlana a “Ben Davis.’" Besides these there are several counties which have two mes, such as “Jo Davies," “‘Deat om Greene,” ete, CONFEREES ON THE TARIFF MoMillin Gots a Place on the Committes After All the Tal® SPEAKER CRISP NAMES THEM TODAY He Follows Vrece t and Gives the Placer to the First Four M bers of the Wy and Means Committes— Gag Rule Applied. WASHINGTON, July 7.—The tarift bir In gross was today ordered back to the house by the ways and means committee Wwith recommendation of nonconcurrence In the senate amendments and for the appointment of conferees. When Mr. Wilson reported the bill to the house, immediately on the con. vening of that body, Speaker Crisp ruled if referred to a committee of the whole. Re: publicans, led by Mr. Reed, protested agains! haste and the application of the gag rule, bul without effect. Speaker Crisp named as tht conferees on the part of the house Repre- sentatives Wilson of West Virginia, MeMillin of Tennessce, Turnar of Georgla, Montgomery of Kentucky, democrate; and Reed of Maine, Burrows of Michigan Payne of New York, republicans, and FOLLOWING REPU esting Kej WASHINGTON, July 7.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—Representative Burorws of Michigan made the speech of the day in his rejoinder to the remarks of Mr. Catchings of Mississippl, who had stated that there had been no democratic opposition to republican procedure four -years ago during the legls- lative processes incident to the enactment of the McKinley bill. Mr. Burrows read at length from the Congressional Record of September 16, 1890, showing that Mr. MeMil- lin of Tennessee, Mr. Turner of Georgla and even Mr. Crisp, who Is now speaker, not only opposed republican procedure, but des nounced the haste with which the McKlinley bill was sent to conference. Mr. Burrows: then said that the democratio party was never sure of Its footing, and consequently never on the right pathway unless it was following the trail of the re- publican party. He quoted from a speech of the late President Garfleld upon this subject in which Mr. Garfleld said: “The democratio party lags In the rear of the republican party in its magnificent march for clvilization and human progress. But when It is lost in the mazes of doubt and uncertainty it sends out a scout to find, If possible, the republican trafl. When he falls upon the deserted camp fire of the republican party he takes up its smoldering brands and whirling them above his head cries: ‘Come on, boys, we're right; they have been here.’ " Themas Swobe, proprietor of the Millard hotel, Omaha, 15 In the city for a few days, The party of Nebraska and Kansas school teachers which is on the way to Asbury Park, N. J., and other seaside resorts, under the management of J. H. Miller, editor of the Northwestern Educational Journal of Lin- coln, are expected at the Ebbitt tomorrow. They will take trips down the Potomac on the large steamers and extensive drives l'ib the suburbs, visiting Arlington cemetery, the soldiers' home and other points of Interest. MEAT DEALERS NOT ALL HONEST. Some of Them Locally Sell Meat Condemed for Export. WASHINGTON, July 7.—~The Department of Agriculture will soon adopt some distines tive design of tags to designate the condition of meats from cattle slaughtered for the purs poses of interstate and forelgn commerce. Complaints have reached the department lately to the effect that dealers in towns and cities of - the. states where the cattle are slaughtered sell meat that has been cone demned by the government inspectors. The government's general juiisdiction only exs tends to meats intended for consumption outs side the state and it is powerless to prevent local sale of condemned flesh. The preve tion of the sale of this kind of goods is lof entirely to the local authorities and any failure to execute the law is due to the Before issuing licenses to engage in th abbatoir business the Department of Agré culture requires persons appling therefor to pledge themselves to send to the rendering house all the meat condemned, but the carry= ing out of the agreement depends entirely upon the honesty of the proprietors of the abbatoir. * Dr. Salmon, the chief of the bureau of anl- mal Industry, {s now In Chicago conferring with the local authorities regarding a more rigid enforcoment of the inspection lawi The tag law now attached to inspected meal indicates whether it has been approved or condemned. It will probably be modified by providing a shining gilt tag to be attached to meat that has been inspected and aj proved and a green tag to bo attached meat inspected and condemned. PACIFIC ROADS BILL. House Committee Decides to Report s Measure for Settiing the Indebtedness. WASHINGTON, July 7.—The house com- mittee on Facific rallways voted unani mously today to report a bill for secttling the Indebtedness of the Southern and Unfon Pacific to the government. The bill agreed upon probably will not grant the fifty years extension of time which is a feature of the funding bill before the committee. The plan Is more likely to provide that the sinking fund shall be used to lift the first mortgages on the properties, thus clearing the incumbrance :o that the government, as the holder of second mortgages, may foreclose them.
