The Estimated Present Popu
lation of Pittsburg
BY THE NEW DIBECTQBY.
Allegheny Expected to Show Up With
at Leasi 115,000.
A GREAT GROWTH IN TEN TEARS
Mr. J. P. Diffenbacher is in the swim.
He has gotten out his revised edition of the
Pittsburg, Allegheny. Sharpsburg and
Etna Directory for 1890 16 days ahead of
time, and it is now being delivered as fast
as it can be gotten from the bindery. Some
people, however, will be forced to wait for
some time after others are served, as the
city is supplied section by section, system
being neoessaryin order to work expedi
tiously. There are "sermons in stones, books in
running brooks," and there is considerable
statistical sncculency in jb. directory, and
Sir. Diffenbacher emphasizes it in this cen
sus edition. The book this year is set in
nonpareil type, instead of brevier, as here
tofore. The size of the book is thus dimin
ished, making it much more convenient
for handling, but the change cost the
maker considerably more money, reducing
the profit sharply. It is also bonnd with a
tight back, so that it will lie flat when
opened. The back is also ot Russia leather
instead of skiver or sheep, as heretofore.
This makes the book stronger, and it will
stand more handling, as the cover will not
come loose.
The growth of the city rendered the book
from year to year more and more bulky.and
condensation in some shape had become
an unavoidable necessity.
SOIIE XETV tVBKTKI.ES.
There are some new features introduced
that will recommend themselves on sight to
the most obtuse. For instance, the surname
is given and then "dittoed" thus: " ",
and all one has to do is to follow down the
initial or Christian names, which run al
phabetically as of yore, but, striking the
eye at first glance, are much more readily
found. Another marked improvement is
the publication of a person's business
and residence together. For instance,
take John Smith. Heretofore, if he be
longed to the firm of Johnston, Smith &
Co., you found the firm name in one place
and John Smith's name and residence in
another. In the present edition it would
run thus: "Smith, John, of Smith, John
ston & Co., 1125 Carson street; h. 64 Du
qnesne way." So you get to know all you
want of Mr. Smith without looking first for
his name and then for his firm, or vice versa.
As a rule the same is trne of the disposition
of bookkeepers and other prominent em
ployes in firms, place of residence and busi
ness both given in the same connection.
The paper of this year's book is of better
quality than that formerly used. -
THE POPULATION OP PITTSBTJEO.
The general directory, exclusive of the
classified business list, contains 109,908
names, an increase of 3,000 for the year. Mr.
Diffenbacher's estimate of the population of
the two cities is 375,000, 260,000 in Pittsburg
and 115,000 in Allegheny. This he obtains
by multiplying the number ot names se
cured for directory purposes by 4, instead of
ii or 6, as is generally done. Thus his
estimate can be taken as a very conservative
one.
Then, there are 10,000 more in Sharpsburg
and Etna, and were McKeesport, Braddock,
Sewickley, and for that matter, the county,
ss it is so often remarked if should be, added
to the city, Pittsburg would take the rank
she should have instead of figuring in the
census among a number of cities of much
less importance. This will be more ap
parent after the census returns are pub
lished, as the boroughs have increased in
population at a rate appreciated by but few
beside those who live in them.
GEOWTH OF TEX TEAKS.
The directory of 1880, covering the same
territory, contained 61,400 names. This is
an increase of 80 per cent in population in
ten years, notwithstanding the removal of
large .manufacturing firms to Jeannette,
"Wilmerding, Beaver Falls and to a score of
"Western towns. which have not only carried
away thousands oi men. but their families
as well, which secessions, if pooled, would
make of themselves a city of respectable
size.
It is a testimony to substantial growth
that not only is the population departed not
missed, but'the increase of 12,000 for the
year is at a rate never dreamed of in past
decades.
This year's directory contains 1,076 pages,
while last year's had 1,339 pages, but the
present is more than equal to 1,500 of last
year's pages. The present book is accom
panied by a map of the two cities, wbich
shows Scbenley Park and 165 new street
locations and extensions. The printing was
i' done by Stevenson & Foster, and the bind-
r, ing by William G. Johnston & Co. Thedi-
rectory is equal in appearance, style, ar
rangement, etc, to any other in the country.
There are some lights as well as shadows
in directory making, and some amusing
things are culled from reports of some name
takers. It would seem that some who applied
to Census Superintendent Oliver had an ex
ceedingly brief apprenticeship under Mr.
Diffenbacher. One had found a man whose
surname was Benjamin. The canvasser,
however, became twisted in some
war in syllabification, and brought in the
name of " Ben Jimmon." Such canvassers
were invited to call at the paymaster's desk
forthwith.
some SKcnun spelling.
One spelled Pittsbursr, "Pitts-Burg."
Another found a "Muck smith." The
rather plentiful name McKnight, was given
in as "McNight" A man named Kohne
cave his name and the style of his firm.
The canvasser got his orthography iu the
first place from the owner of the name and
got it correctly, but concluded to give it
variety, and in the designation of the firm
it flashed up " Chone & Co." There was
much of this kind of jvork, but these speci
mens will suffice.
People whose surnames begin with W in
creased more than those whose names begin
with any other letter in the alphabet, the
additions being 426. M follows closely, the
additions being 420. The great Smith
family and its cognates, Schmid, Schmidt,
Schm'it, Schmith, Schmitt, Smidt, Smit and
Smyth, seem to have been either derelict in
the matter of building up population or to
have joined the hegira to those points which
have lately set up in manufactnring.
GWAB11S IEOM THE HIVES.
There are really swarms from the
parent hive, for, though some ot the
companies have imported mechanics
from Europe, the majority depended
on taking their old workmen with
them, and a resident of the Sonthside who
keeps an eye on its changes and knows
nearly all its old population, states that
acres ot houses have been emptied by the
removal of one large factory, but refilled so
quickly by newcomers that only
one well acquainted with the sec
tion would observe the change.
In some localities, a year or two ago, he
knew almost every face in some blocks
where now he recognizes but few, and he is
no longer greeted by friendly dogs, as of
yore, so that the departed population seems
not only to have taken its household deities
with it, bnt everything that once attached
It to the spot. The ceaseless surge of popu
lation rolls over these districts, and in a
short time the departed will only be remem
bered by immediate relatives and close
friends.
MIDLAND RAILROAD SOLD.
The Nevr Trunk Llae to Chicago May Now
be Ballt It Will be 60 Miles Shorter
Tbnn Any of Ibo Olhera The Property
Sold Cheap.
The old rumor that the PittsDurg and
"Western Railway would be part of a trunk
line to Chicago became tangible yesterday
by the sale of the American Midland road
to the Pittsburg. Akron and Western. The
following special from Findlay, O., last
night tells the story:
At the door of the United States Court
room, Toledo, to-day, Marshal B. F. Wade
sold the railroad known originally as the
Xew York, Mahoning and Western, and
more recently as the American .Midland.
The road is 23 miles long. W. A. Lynch,
ot Canton, O., bid 5110,000, and the road was
knocked down to him.
Mr. Lynch said tho purchase was for W. C.
Dornin. of New York, bnt as he Is Interested
in the Pittsbnrg, Akron and Western it is sus
pectcd the purchase of the Midland was in the
interest of the owners of that line, which
Andrew Carnegie, the Pittsburg iron million
aire, is in.
The object of the purchase Is to construct a
grand trunk line between Pittsburg and Chica
go, wnicn win do fe least w miles suut tci uuu
any other route. The company will have to
build connections from Akron to Findlay, and
work on this is already in progress.
From findlay, the Midland will be used to
Ft, Wayne, and from that city a new line is to
be built into Chicago. Ibis will make one ot
the best lines ever built across Ohio, and this
filace will be on a great east and west trunk
ine. The trials and tribulations which the
New York, Mahoning and Western and the
Midland haTe undergone for thetwo years past
are now at an end.
The property, at the selling price, is consid
ered very cheap, as it is worthnearly.it not
quite, the amount of the claim on it, about
$200,000.
BASING ATTEMrT AT BESCUK
Charles Colgate's Deiperate Attack Upon
Officers to Free His Friends.
Charles Colgate made an effort to rescse a
conple of friends from two policemen and a con

For some reason the bearing did not take
place, and the prisoners were sent back

the officers and prisoner reached the corner of
Fifth avenue and Ross street. Charles Colgate,
a friend of Hunter and the Marshall woman,

ing gesture ordered the officers to release him.
Officer Bagley immediately drew his revolver
and warned Colgate, who left at once, bnt re
turned before the party reached the jail en
trance and made a dash at Constable White,
who had charge of the two women.
Wben he got .near enough Colgate struck a
terrific blow at White, but the latter neatly
dodged the olowand it landed on the head of
Laura Marshall. The woman dropped as if
shot and Colgate started on a rnn down Ross
street to Diamond, where he turned up to Old

A PROTEST FROM CITIZENS.
Dlnch Opposition Exists to tho Straightening
of Webster Avenue.
A meeting of the property holders of the
Eighth, Eleventh and Thirteenth wards was
held last night in the Eleventh ward school
house, to take action on the question of object
ing to the assessment for straighteningWebster

some discussion it was decided to engago an
attorney to protect the interests of the proper
ty holders; that the persons present constitute
themselves a committee to present a petition
to councils protesting against tho btraightening
of the thoroughfare.
FOUNDED ON RUMOR.
Ex-Mayor Allen, ofSi. Louis, Doesn't Know
Anything About Noble's Resignation.
Ex-Mayor George W. Allen, of St. Louis, is
at the Dnqnesne. He said he knew Secretary
Noble very well, and had heard rumors that

about it.
He thought It possible, if the Secretary bad
been offered the position of attorney for a
Western road with a big salary attached, that
be would resign to accept iu

CAN'T ST0PTHE WORK
The Dnqnesne Traction Company's
Line May Take Another Route
IP THE SUPREME COURT STEPS INj
A Sadden Hearing in the Cose to he Held In
Harn$bur To-Day.
TE0DBLE GETTING 1M0 WILKINBBDEG
Attorneys D. T. Watson, Charles H. Mc-
Kee and George C. Wilson leit last night
for Harrisburg, to argue the injunction suit
of the Pittsburg Traction Company against
the Dnqnesne Traction Company, which
will come up before the Supreme Court to
day. It was stated yesterday, among the
lawyers who are familiar-with the workings
of such cases, that the decision of the Su
preme Court will probably be in favorof
the Duquesne Company, and if it is not, it
does not matter. The Duquesne Company
is still pursuing the even tenor of its way,
and the work of constructing the line is going
on day and night.
It was not expected that the case would
come up before the Supreme Court so soon,
and the attorneys were somewhat surprised
yesterday when they received telegrams or
dering them to be present to argne the case
at Harrisburg to-day. They lost no time
getting ready, and left last night on the 8:10
train. Mr. Wilson, the attorney for the
Pittsburg Company, was very glum and
would say little about the case.
OMLY A MATTEB OF FOEM.
The other attorneys were hopeful of suc
cess, and said there was no question about
tho result. Mr. Watson, who has been suc
cessful all through the fight made against his
company by the Pittsburg Company, said it was
only a matter of form to go to Harrisburg. The
decision of tbe Supreme Conrt will be that the
lower court is sustained and the Pittsburg
Company has no case against the Duqujsne
line. In speaking of the matter. Vice Presi
dent George Rice, of tbe Duquesne Company,
said yesterday:
rue case is coming up sooner tnan we ex
pected, but there is no question about the re
sult. The Supreme Court got through the list
earlier than it supposed, and has called the case
for to-morrow. Our attorneys will be on band,
and it goes without saying that the Dnqnesne
Company will be successfnl. Tbe Attorney
General of the State, and the Pittsburg courts
have decided we have the right to put down
our line, and we propose to do it. No matter
what is done, tbe work of building the road
will go on uninterruptedly. If we cannot go
over the Ellsworth avenue and Craig street
ronte to East Liberty we will find another out
let. There is no question about the necessity
of another line to the East End. Tho people
want it, and we propose to give it to them. We
will hare our cars running to Wilklnsburg by
fall, and will make better time than the cable
cars."
MAT TAKE ANOTHEE BOTJTE.
It is authoritatively stated that in the event
of the Supreme Conrt reversing the decision of
the lower court and Attorney General Kirk
patrick and issue an injunction restraining the
Duquesne Company from operating on Craig
street and Ellsworth avenue, the electric com
pany will abandon tbat route and go to
Wilklnsburg via Barton street, wltbont run
ning on Craig street at all. The suit of tho
Pittsbnrg Company is to keep its formidable
rival off Craig street. The route of the Du
quesne Company is now out Forbes street to
Craig, then through its own property to Ells
worth avenue. If It is shut out of Craig street it
will run out Forbes street, across the high
bridge over the Junction Railroad to Barton
street. From Barton street the line will be con
structed to Howe street, wbich paral
lels Fifth avenue, and is tbe first
street below that thoroughfare, and
runs from Aiken avenue to Festival street.
Tbe line will then run along Howe street
to Denniston avenue, and thence to Fifth ave
nue aud Wilklnsburg. This route Is as short,
but not as straight as via Craig street and Ells
worth avenne, and on account of not much
traffic on the streets the electric cars would
make better time. When Vice President Rice
was asked about the new ronte he said:
MK. BICE'S POINTED TALK.
"We have a charter covering the route you
speak of, and of course if tbe injunction suit
was decided against ns we would run our cars
tbat way. It really does not matter to us what
is done, but. as I said before, there is no
question about the decision. It is as easy to go
over one route as it is over tbe other. When
e said we were going to build an electric road
to Wilklnsburg we meant it. and are determined
to carry out our promise. The construction of
our line at this end has progressed as far as
Bono, and we are pushing it as fast as we can.
We are waiting in some places for the city to
put down water pipes, so it will not become
necessary to tear np our tracks after we get
them down. This interferes with us to some ex
tent." There has been some difficulty arranging
for tbe entry of the new electric road into
WilMnsburg, owing to the refusal of the Penn
sjlvania Railroad to allow the road to cross its
tracks at Penu avenue at grade. The Dnqnesne
Company have the right of way into Wilklns
burg, but could not overcome the objections of
the railroad company. Now there is a project
on foot for grading down Penn avenue so as to
make a tunnel under the railroad tracks with a
clear height of SO feet, so that a load of hay
can pass through. It is believed an amicable
division of tho expense between the Pennsylva
nia Railroad and the Duquesne Company will
be consummated.
A FEROCIOUS DOG
Tho Cause of a Shooting Affray In Bellz
hooyer Lnst Night.
A ferocious dog. a man with a revolver and a
boy with a stone succeeded in making things
lively in Beltzhoover last tiight. Charles Dun
can, of Fourth avenue, owns the dog, And
William Ostroski, a boy of 16, objected to hav
ing the dog bark at him, and before ho passed
the honse picked up a stone. Duncan told
him if he threw the stone he would shoot, Tbe
dog aid not wjit to have the stone thrown, and
flew out at tbe boy.
Ostroski claims that Duncan shot at him sev
eral times, and late last night made an infor
mation against him before Alderman Succop.
Ostroski says he thinks Duncan must have
shot himself in the hand, as his coat was
bloody where Duncan grabbed him.
A Policeman In Trouble.
Messrs. Baden, McGeary and McCauley were
appointed at last night's meeting of the Alle
gheny Police Committee to investigate George
Kane's complaint against Officer Robert

WAKT THE SAME CHANCE.
Chicago Lines to St. Paul Demand tho
Lake Differentials Getting No Freight
From This Terrllory-A Lively Unto
Wnr Is Possible.
The Chicago lines to SI. Paulhave asked
the Eastern roads to give them the same dif
ferentials on freight Irom this territory that
the lake people now secure. A differential
of 10 cents on the first two classes and 5 cents
on tbe other three per 100 pounds Is the advan
tage that tbe navigators now bold over the rail
roads. For example, tho iron rate from Pitts
burg to St Paul by rail is 25 cents; by lake it is
20 cents. The result is tbat during the sum
mer all the freight from this territory
to the NorthweBt goes by way of the
lakes, and the lines west of Chicago
are left out in tbe cold. The Lake Shore road,
also, not baying a line from Pittsburg to Cleve
land, is not getting any of the business, and
this line is one of the heavy kickers against the
discrimination.
Last Monday the local freight agents
wrestled with the problem at Mr, Means' office
of tbe Panhandle. Dut thev couldn't com to
any conclusion. They then decided to meet
the Youngstown and Buffalo committees on
June 6 at Niagara to confer about It. The
agenti of tbe Western lines say tbey do not
ask for the lake differentials, but they would
like tolto see them reduced to a minimum
The Northwestern road has its own line from
lake points to St. Paul, and this road is not par
ticularly Interested, in fact would prefer to see
present rates maintained. From what could be
learned some ot the local freight men are fear
ful tbat if the request is granted that the lake
lines will start a rate war tbat would be disas
trous. The navigators are in a position to carry
freight at much lower rates than the railroads,
and the latter have no particular desire to stir
them up.

THE SCALE IS EEADY.
What the Iron and Steel Workers
Will Demand for Next Year.
i
NO DIFFICULT! IS EXPECTED.
Efforts May he Made to Have tha, Glass
fforkBrs' Case Heopened.
JOSEPH I. ETANS' OFFICIAL REPORT
The Wage Committee of the Amal
gamated Association completed its work last
evening at 5 o'clock, and the scale went
into the hands of Secretary Martin, who
was given instructions to put it in shape for
presentation to the convention, which meets
to-day. The provisions of the new scale are
guarded with great secrecy by the members
ot the Wage Committee. They will not
even give information to members of the
association, lest it leak ont before being
presented to the convention. With all their
secrecy, however, they could not prevent
some points from gaining circulation.
It is known that many changes will be
made in the scale, and the most important
of these is the advance to be asked for in
boiling. This was not decided upon by the
Wage Committee individually. A member
of the committee said last evening that an
expression-had been secured from every
subordinate lodge, and the committee was
compelled to be governed -by the wishes of
the majority.
THINK THEY CAN AFFORD IT.
The estimated growth and development of
the iron trade, given in various talks with
manufacturers in connection with the census,
as printed in THE DISPATCH, has proven an
impetus for tbe men to push their demands
with greater zeal. They are confident tbe
manufacturers can afford to pay an advance,
and they say tbey will not ask tor anything the
manufacturers cannot pay.
If the scale as reported to the convention is
adorned, 6 will be asked for boiling on a 2-cent
card, and 87 23 on a 3, with 60 cents extra per
tOD for boiling half pig iron and half pot metal
and stove plate. Other extras will De charged,
ranging from 25 cents to SI, for castings and
runners over 75 pounds to the piece, and for hot
ore fix.
There will be more "extras" in tbe scale this
year than usual, owing to the admission of
laborers and common mill hands, who must be
provided for. There is expected to be a lively
light over tbe differences between the
roughers and catchers and rollers. The
roughers and catchers receive $2 60 and
3 per day for seven and eight heats, respect
ively. They are asking for a more equal di
vision of the wages paid the rollers. Some
rollers make as much as J9 per ton, according
to the gauge, and the rongbers and catchers
regard this as unfair.
There will also be a demand for an advance
in all departments of steel mills. The men
here want a 10 per cent advance all around in
every department. Tbey will ask for this, and
will compromise tbe matter on the adootion of
a sliding scale, to be governed during the year
by the ptice of steel.
BASIS OF THE CLAIM.
It is claimed tbat steel has advanced more
than 3 per ton during the last year, and the
men have received no benefit of this advance.
Many of the manufacturers are already
Slacking up in anticipation oi trouDie. some
of the men spoken to expressed themselves as
believing tbe manufacturers would not sign
tbe scale, and are beglning a dullness in trade
to prevent an advance being asked. "But."
said one of tbem, "we will make our
demands, strike or no strike, and what is more,
we will get about everything we ask for. We
have no manufacturers' committee to deal
with any more. We deal directly with tbe
firms, and it is much more satisfactory. I
don't believe there will be any difficulty. Tbe
annual cry of the manufacturers is tbat tbey
will not sign the scale, but they always come
around in the end."
The Amalgamated has an increased advan
tage this year, in a largely increased member
ship, which adds to its strength. Last year
there were not more than 200 delegates present,
while this year there will bo at least 250, which
shows an Increase in membership of from 5,000
to 8,000. Aside from this, tbe association is
backed up by an enormous treasury, which
enables it to stand very firm.
A MOST IMPOETANT MEETING.
This will be one of the largest and most
Important conventions ever held by the associa
tion. It is not probable that President Weihe
will be re-elected, owing to his repeated
refusals tn serve another term. Should this
prove the case, an entire change of the execu
tive department of tbe association will possibly
follow. There are several candidates for tbe
pssition of President.
The convention will be called to order this
morning in New Turner Hall, Forbes street.
Tbe first thing on the programme is the bearing
and disposing of contested seats. This will
likely consume the greater part of tho day, so
tbat it is very probable tbe Wage Committee
will not be able to report before to-morrow
morning. The delegates came in yesterday and
last night by tbe score, and most of them are
quartered at the Central, St. Charles and Home
Hotels.
Arrangements have been completed for the
mammoth picnic at Rock Point, next Saturday.
It is expected 8,000 will be present.
GBEAT GAME 01" PBEEZE-OTJT.
Journeymen and Mmtcr Tinners Either
Belting or Binding.
"There will not be a union tinner working in
the city to-morrow." It is strange that both
sides involved in the present strike should be
working on the same line, but the above was
the almost universal expression that greeted
tbe reporters yesterday as they visited journey
men and master tinners.
The master tinners say they have forced out
the 60 men wbo were at work, so as to cut off
the supDly of money to the supply fund con
tributed by them. On tbe other hand, the
journeymen say tbey are calling their men off
to prevent the masters from getting their
pressing work done. Tbey have been out five
weeks, and they say they ran stay out five more
before feeling tbe effects of tbe strike. The
master tinners will appoint a new arbitration
committee Friday night.
STONECUTTERS ABE ITEM,
Tbe Strikers Appoint n Committee to Meet
the Blniter Cotters.
The stonecutters of the two cities quit work
yesterday and bave decided to stay out until
they get an advance of 4 cents per hour. A
meeting was held in Neidar's Hall. Hast street,
Allegheny, over which William Wright pre
sided and Charles Scberer acted as secretary.
A committee was appointed to confer with the
master stonecutters for the purpose of arrang
ing the difficulty.
The stonecutters are affiliated with the Stone
cutters' Union of Pennsylvania, and also the
newly organized Building Trades Council, of
this city, and they expect to ft In. It is expected
the matter will be adjusted in a day or two.
HEW GLASSHOUSE AT IBWIJT.
Twenty Acrea of Land Offered for a Mam
moth Plate Work Site.
Eastern capitalists have been in Irwin con
ferring with tho North Irwin Land Company
concerning the locating of a mammoth plate
glassworks in , North Irwin. The local com
pany having offered them 20 acres of land on
which to erect their works, with gas and water
at very low rates, it is very probable-that they
will locate here.
The plant when completed will coyer seven
acres and employ between 600 and 800 men.
DO HOT INTEND TO STRIKE.
Hotel Walters Say Tbey Have Been Grossly
misrepresented.
The statements made in some of tbe papers
yesterday that tbe hotel waiters would strike
was most emphatically denied by tbe waiters.
As stated previously in The Dispatch, the
waiters will not strike until tbey are organized,
and they will not strike at all except as a last
resort.
The waiters have never said they intended to
strike, but they do want more wages and will
make their demands in the proper manner.
He Won Anjwny.
A meeting of Union No. 15. Painters and
Decorators, was held last night to elect dele
gates to the Convention of Painters and Decor,
ators to be held in Pittsburg in August, The
meeting was exciting, the fight being to defeat
M. P. Carrick. Tne"vote for the canaldatea
was as follows: M. P. Carrick, 122; D. W. Luker,
112; C. J. Donnell, 47; W. B. Rowland, 63.
Tbe Tnblea Turned.
Tbe situation at the Oak Hill mine of the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company,
at Turtle Creek, is becoming serious. The com
pany Is about to begin improvements that will
take three months to complete, during which
time the mines will remain closed.
WANT THE CASE-JtEOPENED."
MR. EVANS' OFFICIAL REPORT ON THE
JEANNETTE GLASSWORKERS.
He Asserts Important Testimony Was With
held and Points Ont Peculiarities of the
Case Believes tbe Court's Baling to bo
Bad Law.
It was reported in the city last evening
that a new move is about to be made, lead
ing to a reopening of the investigation of
the Jeannette glassworkers' case. In this
connection the following U a complete copy
of the official report presented to the Cen
tral Trades Councillast Saturday night by
Master Workman Evans, of D. A. 3, K. of L.,
and which was accepted and unanimously ap-
uiuiuu oy me council:
.. ,. Pittsburg, May 2, 1830.
io the Officer and Members or the Central Trades
Council of Western 1'ennsylTanla:
..VB'"I'Mior As the committee appointed by
this body to "place In the hands of the proper au
thorities" the case or the imported glaia workers,
and to assist In the prosecution of the nartles
charged with a violation of tbe law, It becomes
Incumbent on me to present to you this, my final
Acuuru
Let me say at tbe ontaet that I have received
much abuse, both verbally and In tbe press, by
the accused and their adnerents. for tbe action I
have taken as President of your body and as your
committee In the case, these Individuals forget
ting or ignoring the fact that it was by the action
of tho counsel of tbe accused tbat 1 became the
frosecutor. However, when 1 endeavor to assist
n the enforcement or laws Intended to benefit all
organized labor, I care but little for the abuse ot
those charged with their violation, and believe I
will be able to snrvfte it.
In the prosecution of the case, tbe clrcnm
stances naturally compelled me to rely exclu
sively on tbe attorneys In tbe case, Messrs. L.yon
and Erennan. Tbe case was a hard one to man
age, for tbe reason that the prosecution was com
pelled to rely largely on the accused to prove the
charge, as well as tbe men wbo were Importer!,
lhe latter are In this country, and had tbey testi
fied, as we believe they should. I have reason to
think that thev believed they would eet but little
chance to make a livelihood at their regular voca
tion. It Is a notorious fact that one of these
men made an affidavit that be came here on con
tract; arterward be made another In which be
denied the first, and yet no effort was made to Im
peach theveracityofthlswitness. Allof thelm
ported men were not subprenaed. Why, I know
not. Home of them undoubtedly had money ad
J?,nce, j t0 '"em. and thit money was collected on
tbis side of the water. I learn that many of them
are scattered throughout tbe country, which fact
seems to me to De In itself suspicious.
THE BULES OP EVIDENCE.
The cause of the miscarriage of this suit may be
in some measure attributed to the rules of evi
dence, so-called, one of which provides tbat a
man shall swear to tell "the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth." but when a
man starts to tell tho whole truth be Is suddenly
brought to a dead halt, bv being Informed that
tbe "rules of evidence" do not permit It.
The failure of the prosecution Is mainly, ir not
wholly, attributable to tbe rulings of the learned
Jndge, who asserts that a contract, to come
within the meaning of the enactment must be
actually made by the parties accused, with the
lmDorted Dartles on foreign soil. pnt!rlv nrpr.
looking that portion of the law which refers to
Implied contracts, and in fact entirely killing the
law.
We had reason to expect a conviction In tbe
case. Inasmuch as the Solicitor of tbe Treasury.
Mr. Hepburn, has declared In a lengthy, exhaus
tive and careful opinion that these men were
Fosltlvely brought here In violation 01 the law.
n this he was ably supported by Attorney Gen
eral Miller, who was so positive of the violation
that on the evidence submitted to him ordered tbe
prosecution to be brought.
I desire at this time to refer briefly to another
feature of the case, viz: The convenience of
man's memory while under oath. One of the
witnesses wrote, or had written, a defense of bis
action in assisting in the Importation of these
men. He cansed the publication of this defense
in tbe offlclaljournal of bis organization some
months ago. When asked If the article was
correct, be asserted tbat ha could not swenr to It
unless be had the original manuscript. He aud
other witnesses had conveniently mislaid or de
stroyed documents which the prosecution deemed
important, but such papers as tbey desired were
either mislaid or destroTed.
The peculiarities of this affair would cover en
tirely too much space and so I will leave that part
oi me sunjeci.
I assert, though not a lawyer, that the evidence
submitted In this case proved beyond doubt our
position that these men were brought here in vio
lation of the law. Here again we are met with a
barrier. U e believe the ruling of the Court to be
bad law, but we are forbidden an appeal to the
Supreme Court, lly some singular law or rule of
the United States Courts no appeal can be taken
where the sum Involved does not reach fiCOO. In
this instance the suit was for one man's importa
tion, tbe penalty being (1,000. Why, then, may I
inquire, was not the suit brought for two, three,
four or fire?
HIS EECOMMEIfDATIOirS.
I present to you tbe official report for the fore
noon's proceedings, the cost of which is 113, and
which I ask you to pay. 1 also recommend that
you procure tbe official proceedings of the after
noon's session, which Id eludes the JudsVs charge.
It may be valuable hereafter.
I notice with some pleasure that Mr. Kerr, of
Pennsylvania, has offered a resolution In the
House of Kepresentatlves to Investigate the en
tire affair, and I sincerely hope there will be no
halt until tbe entire facts nre laid bare, and to
this end this body should hold Itself ready to as
sist at any and all times.
I have purposely left to the last the disagreeable
part of this subject. Homer L. McUaw and
Ueneral William Blakely are charged with at
tempting to smother this case before coming to
trial, for a given sum of money. ou have ap
pointed a committee to investigate and that com
mittee should txert every power at the command
of honest men to pursue tbe Investigation to an
honest conclusion. In this tbey should be heartily
and vigorously supported and I pledge myself to
aid tbem by every means In my power.
I leave the subject now with a clear conscience.
I have made some new enemies, and have made
some old ones more bitter. 1 bave nothing to re-
Sct. I believed a law Intended for the benefit of
nor had been violated. 1 still believe It. and
will until we are accorded a hearing before the
United Mates Supreme Court. Having volunta
rily assumed the duties ol a delegate to this body
and accepted the position of your President, 1
could and would not decline to perform royhonest
duty demanded by you. 1 have made new friends
and cemented old friendships. For this 1 am
thankful. So far as this affair Is concerned I have
the friendship of all 1 care for. Respectfully sub
mitted. Joskfu L. EVahb.
Tbe rumor afloat last night was to the effect
that tbe Council had asked for a special officer
to be sent from Washington to come to Pitts
burg and investigate the case. Joseph L.
Evans wben asked about it; said: "we are
quietly waiting to see what tbe result will be in
the Kerr case. If the bill presented to Con
gress goes through all right, and the investiga
tion is made, it will be satisfactory to us. I do
not know of any officer coming here."

Yesterday a man walked into tbe office of the
