HLXOR XEWS FROM THE TIIREE STATES
tM-ECIAL TELEGRAMS TO THE DISPATCH.
Hakkishuug, -Aug. 16. The report of
tlie Ivnijlits of Labor LcgislatWc Com
mittee docs not meet with the favor of V.
F. Caffrer, the secretary, and third member
hi" that committee. "When Chairman Butler
ircpared his report to the Knights of Labor,
Secretary Cafl'rcy refused to sign it, de
claring it to be inaccurate and biased. To
day Mr. Cafl'rey gave out a statement, the
nib-stance of -which is as follows, which lie
says he can substantiate by the official re
port of the sessions of the last Legislature:
The report of the Knights of Labor Legis
lative Investigating Committee by Messrs.
Wright and Butler is so unfair, inaccurate
and incmmilcto in Its treatment of llie sub
ject aud sounjast to friends or labor, to both
sides of the House, to the order and to my
self that I proposo to isuc a report npon tlio
notion taken on all lills. The vote-, pub
lllied in the so-called liutler reports contra
dict his on n comments aud conclusions in
c era! instances. .
He.-e ave a few sample's: The workinpmen
ai o told that Mutators Kobinson, Uobin, l'en
rosc. Lemon and Lieutenant Governor Wat
rou were "friendly" on the Republican side.
The l-ecoidcd votes in the appendix to the
icport show that senator Kobinson was
"present and not voting" upon the anthra
cite mine bill, and also on the factory in
spector bill.
SOME ;I.AKING IKACCl'KACIES.
In enc portion of the report we aro told
that the factory bill was lost in the Senate,
while page -29 shows 37 Senators voting aye,
whnout a word of explanation to inform the
reader that at a later stage of tho proceed
ings senator Koliinon moved to Indefinitely
postpone the said factory bill, using the
verv express e appeal to his colleagues,
l.ct us butcher thUhill," and they did kill
and bury it ituout ceremony. The records
show that the vote was reconsidered on
motion of Mr. Kever. The bill then passed
finallv and was messaged to the senate,
wlieie our "lricndly" Kobinson butchered
it" on the ei cnlug of May 27. A fair report
would sue the final vote on this or any
other bill In both Houses.
senator Kobinson is recorded as "absent
and not voting" upon the emasculated eight
hour bill: "-absent and not voting" on the
dockage bill, which was not an "extra"
measure, this report informs us, but was
named -ide by side with the company store
bill on the first six important demands con
tained in tho circular letter to the House
ami Senate.
He inlM) recorded as voting against the
checkwciglimnn's bill to protect the miners.
"The Old Boman" Senator Brant Is recorded
as voting for all our bills. He made a gal
lant fight for ballot find tar reforms, and yet
in this brilliant report bis name does not
appear among those specially and honor
ably mentioned. That is a falrsample of
the whole report, and there are others.
I.AME EXCUSES IX THE REPOET.
senator Oobin, who, according to this re
port was "Irieudlj,"' is recorded as "absent
ami not voting" flvo times and voting
sigalnst tho check weighman's bill for the
protection of the poor miners, senator
(.(.bin denounced ballot reform of every
description. The report is full of excuses
lor the action taken
upon
the defeated
labor bills. For instance.
A. a Robin
was not a
son. of Pittsburg, who
member of either House
or Senate, is
held responsible lor the failure to secure a
genuine eight-hour law. Whom will the
people hold responsible these outsiders or
the men who were elected to represent their
lights? The report shows 16 Republicans
wjting against the miners on that bill, and
10 Democrats and 1 Republican voting in
l.n or of abolishing a stupendous system of
robbery and spoliation. It says little or
nothing about the House Committee on
I.'ailroads and Corporations, which, killed
ISurk's anti-Pinkerton bill, geanors atrti-li-criniination
bill. Ferry's safety coupler
hill, and the railroad fence bill.
Did the gentleman, who wrote this, mis
lending report lorget bow ably Mr. Hitter
defended tho eight-hour bill berore it was
killed by amendments which the House ac
cepted? Did he forget how emphatically
and earnestly Mr. Hitter demanded the
pasaC of the constitutional convention
bill which our committee had approved?
Does he deserve no creo.it for the many
clforts made by him and his colleagues to
perf ; it the ballot reform bill?
ON CV A FEW OF MAXY ERKOF.S.
These are but a few of its defects, sufficient
at this time to indicate reasons for refusing
to sign it. I believe in giving every person
or party full credit for work done, but the
delegates -who were present at the State
convention of our order will remember the
intention was that a full and fair record of
action taken for or against the cause of
labor khould be kept and published for in
formation. Considering the unfairness, inaccuracy
and incompleteness of the aforesaid report,
I deem it a duty which I owe to the order,
to the friends of labor on both sides and
to mvself, to prepare and submit for their
consideration a complete report made up
from my daily notes and the official records.

A GOLDEX HARVEST CERTAIN.
IVORTn ONK BILLION DOLLARS MOKE
THAN IN TEARS,
Corn Will Average Ono Dollar and Oats
Forty Cents ler Bashel on the Tarm
Cotton, Ityc, Cattle and Tobacco Ad
vancing Rapidly.
New York, Aug. 16. Farm profits
will be 1,000,000,000 more this year in the
United States than they have been during
the recent years of depression. At least
this is the estimate put forward by the
American AariadUirid in its annual review
of the harvests, to be published iu the forth
coming September issue of that magazine.
On the basis of present prospects this au
thority estimates the corn crop of 1891 at
2,000,000,000 bushels, -wheat 500,000,000
bushels and oats 622,000,000 bushels respect
ively in 1890, and 1,700,445 and 558,000,000
bushels as the average for the preceding 11
years. This makes the total prospective
crop of corn, wheat and oats 3,122,000,000
bushels, or 28.8 per cent greater than last
year, and 14.7 per cent over the average of
the preceding 11 years.
The American AgricvlturUt believes that
unless unexpected influences wholly change
the current of events, the value of corn on
the farm will average 51 per bushel and
oats at least 40 cents. On this basis the
value of the corn crop to the farmers will
bc?l,000,000,000, -wheat $500,000,000 and oats
f250,000,000, or a total of $1,750,000,000.
This is 4450,000,000 more than the value of
these crops in 1890 and ?625,000,000 moie
than the valne of the average of these crops
lrom 18SU to lM) inclusive.
Cotton and rye will command better
prices than last season. Cattle are worth
one-third more than 18 months ago, -with
other live stock in proportion. Tobacco is
advancing heavily for cigar leaf, contracts
being made for the crop in the field at an
advance of 15 to 50 per cent over last year.
Hops are firm at good prices, winter fruit
will command large values, and all vege
tables are yielding fairly, with every indi
cation of a remunerative market.
The export outlook was never better.
Immensely increased sums will be sent to
the United States for our produce. Ul
terior influences may of course interfere
with this brilliant prospect, bnt we confess
we are beginning to share more fnlly the
hopes of certain well-informed, bnt conserv
ative agriculturists, who predict better
profits for the farmers of the United States
during the next five years than ever be
fore. The American Agriculturist says there will
be no return of "war" prices, but the money
received above expenses will go further and
enable the farmer fo get more valne out of
his profits than at any previous period.
A BABY SMOKER.
Bis Parents to Bo Prosecuted by the
Illinois Humane Society.
ClHCAC.O, Aug. 16. The Illinois Humane
Society has decided to prosecute the 2-year-old
Leonard Turner, the tobacco-smoking
baby. The child's case was brought to
public notice a day or two ago. Ever
since the baby was 2 months old, his father,
who is said to be a dissipated character, has
been teaching the child to smoke. The
child has now become so accustomed to the
weed that he cries for his pipe and tobacco.
The mother has had to work to support the
family and of late has been leaving
the little fellow at a day nursery.
The matron of the nursery "retnsed to
allow the use of tobacco aud reported the
case. The Humane Society at once took
the matter, and yesterday two physicians
examined the child.
He was found to be in a very feeble con
dition, already suffering from acute nico
tine poisoning and having what is known to
physicians as the "tobacco heart." His
skin, eyes and brain are also affected. He dis
plays but little intelligence now, and bright
ens up only when his pipe is placed before
his eyes. Acting on the report of the
physicians, the Humane Society has sworn
out warrants for the arrest of the parents.
The penalty for such an offense is not less
than (10 nor more 500 fine, or one year in
the penitentiary, or both. Doctors express
doubts as to whether the child can be
brought back to a healthy condition.
GOTHAM SMUGGLERS TBIPPED DP.
One Had 50 Yards of Silk Aronnd His Body
and More in His Trunk.
Xkw Yoiik, Aug. 16. The Custom House
officers made several important seizures of
smuggled goods on the steamship Umbria,
which arrived from Liverpool last night.
Joseph Zeiter, of Syracuse, Jf. 1'., was
found to have 50 yards of black silk -wrapped
around his body, and in his trunk was found
50 yards more of the silk, bcldes gold
watches, six shawls, 12 sets of fine cutlery,
a number of meerschaum pipes and a quantity
of lace.
Two other passengers on the same vessel
were also caught in an attempt to smuggle
various articles of jewelry valued at 600.
They wereAbram Yesner'and Jacob Kosen
bcrg, of this city, and they were discovered
through their passing a package to a friend
on the pier. The officers lollowed the
three men to a saloon in the vicinity, ar
rested them and found several hundred dol
lars' worth of jewelry id tlieir possession.
The jewelry was confiscated and the men
locked up.
BENNINGTON'S F0TIBTH OF JULY.
The Memorable Battle To Be Celebrated
by the Dedication of a Monument.
Bennixotos, Vt, Aug. 16. To-day
Bennington is decked from its eastern
boundary to the Old Bennington on the hill,
and is one complete wave of bunting and
flags. Preparing for the great celebration,
tne Vermont mutia is now in camp. 1'romi
nent guests of the Stats are expected to
begin to arrive to-morrow. Governor Page
and staff arrived this morning and went into
camp with the Vermont National Guard.
The 16th of August, the anniversary of
the battle ot Bennington, is to the people
of South Vermont what the Fourth of July
is to the Xation. For nearly 50 years there
has been more or less preparation for the
building of a suitable monument, and the
dedication cf this will take place this week.
The cost of the monument and site had been,
in round numbers, $100,000.

A FULL SUPPLY OP. CURRENCY
In This Country Now, So Therc'3 No Actual
Necessity for Gold.
A FRESH EXPEDIENT FOR INSOLVENCY
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Xev York, Aug. 16. Matthew Marshal
reviews the financial nnd speculative situa
tion for to-morrow's Sun as follows:
It grieved me mightily to find, on going
downtown last Monday, that my deliver
ance of that morning had been received
with some dissatisfaction by those of my
friends, who, in the parlance of the street,
are "bulls." The younger and more irrev
erent among them had the impertinence to
suggest that I wrote under the influence of
a bad digestion, and that another summer's
trip abroad, by improving my health,
would improve the soundness of my finan
cial judgment.
"I think I shall so far accept the sugges
tion as to take a vacation for a week or two,
or at least until all danger of a recurrence
this season of the hot weather of last week
has passed over; but I repel with indigna
tion the charge that ill-health has anything
to do with the judgments I expressed on
financial matters. The truth is that one's
opinion on any subject depends on the
point on which he views it sop's fable
of the shield which appeared to be of gold
or silver according to the side upon which
the observer stood, teaches a lesson of per
petual valne.
FORECASTING THE FDTUHE.
A man who, like mvself, looks at facts
and events philosophically, intent only
upon forecasting the future according to
abstract general principles, will usually
come to quite different conclusions from one
who considers only the day s market, and
buys and sells for eighths aud quarters on
the spur of the moment. I have no hesita
tion in confessing that I do not understand
the fluctuations of the speculative securities
dealt in on the Stock Exchange, and I have
always disclaimed any proficiency in read
ing the signs of their prospective rises and
falls.
That my opinion, s therefore, should some
times come into collision with those of my
.bull or bear friends is not lo be wondered
at. The proposition which I endeavored to
elucidate a week ago was that the market is
overstocked with securities, manufactured
during the era of enthusiasm which pre
vailed for the year or two preceding the
Baring collapse of last November and that
they will not be taken off the hands of their
holders except at a reduction from the
prices which have hitherto been asked for
them.
BAKED UPOJf FACTS.
I based my opinion upon facts, some of
which are common property, and others
which came to my knowledge confidentially,
as it were, so that I did not feel justified iu
specifying the particulars. Still I think
every one of my readers .is possessed of
enough such facts himself to judge whether.
I am right or wrong, and is under no com
pulsion lo accept my conclusion if his own
differs from it.
My further inquiries this last w k con
firm my original view, and I, thereto -e, ad
here to it, A great deal of benefit to the
market is expected, and some of it has been
already experienced from the formation of
the syndicate to relieve the financial dis
tress of the Union Pacific Kailway Com-
fiany undoubtedly, by lifting from the pub
ic mind the apprehension which the im
minent bankruptcy of so great a corpora
tion was beginning to create. Any meas
ure which averted, even if it only post
poned the catastrophe, would be reassuring.
CAN'T SEE THE BENEFIT.
Nevertheless, I fail to see how the stock
of the Union Pacific Railway Company is
worth any more intrinsically because its
floating debt has been gathered into the
hands of a syndicate, Instead of being bar
tered about among the various money lend
ers of the country. If my friend Jupiter
Morgan is correctly reported as forming one
of the syndicate, he is not the man I take
him to be if he does not get well paid for
his services. Modesty in fixing their value
never was one of his failings, and he is not
likely to succumb to it at this late date.
The other reputed members of the syndi
cate also have sound business views of the
compensation they are entitled tc, and
altogether I am quite sure that nothing will
be saved in the way of interest and com
missions through their intervention. I ad
mit that the company's stock rose on the
formation of the "syndicate being announced
and fell when the failure of the scheme was
feared, but I attribute the phenomenon to
the manipulation of operators, who under
stood the game of playing upon the
imaginations of their fellow-operators on
the Exchange far better than I ever expect
to ilo.
NEW NAME FOB INSOLVENCY.
I simply cannot understand how, apart
from the control which the possession of
large blocks of it gives, any investor should
buy Union Pacific stock at any price what
ever. Indeed, this syndicating of the
Union Pacific floating debt, like the similar
arrangement made in London last fall with
the debtof;Baring Bros. & Co., is only
uiiuiiiui iuiii ui num. in iii couj uusiness
days, used to be called an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, and which was in
variably accepted as a formal announce
ment of insolvency.
The abuses of these assignments finally
led to the enactment of a law declaring
them void whenever they were made "with
intent to hinder, delay or defraud credit
ors," and under this law it was adjudged
that any provision which gave the assignee
the right to do anything with the assigned
property, except Convert it into can as
speedily as possible, avoided the assign
ment. I suppose the Union Pacific syndi
cate will Steer clear of this legal snag. But
the fact of the company's insolvency is
made none the less conspicuous by the ex
pedient to which it has been compelled to
resort.
IHG HOPES ON CHOPS.
Great things are expected from the abun
dance of the crops of this country, and the
more or less extensive failure of those of
Eurone. Hundreds of thousands of neoDle
indulge in pleasing dreams of the wealth
which is going to flow in npon us through
our good fortune and Europe's ill-fortune
in this respeot First and foremost, gold is
to be imported by millions of dollars, to
pay fof food purchases; next, our own capi
talists are going to have millions to invest
in existing securities or in creating new
ones, and, finally, Europe, besides buying
liberally of Our breadstuffs and our provis
ions, is to be equally lavish in buying our
stocks and bonds.
I do not pretend to be infallible, and I
shall be very glad on patriotic grounds, if I
shall prove to have been mistaken, but I
expect as the result of ourood harvest and
of Europe's poor one, neither large gold
imports nor an extensive buying- of securi
ties, either by home or by foreign capital
ists. EUROPE NEEDS THE GOLD.
"Whether Europe sends us gold in pay
ment for our food products, or whether she
pays for them in her manufactured goods,
or in her own securities, is a matter to be
determinedly circumstances as they arise.
My own opinionwhich I have already Ex
pressed on previous occasions, that since
Europe actually needed the gold which she
took from us in the spring and still needs it,
she will do her best to retain it and to in
duce us to accept payment for our grain and
our provisms, first in her "manufactured
goods, ftnf, failing that, in our stocks and
bonds.
My private advices confirm the belief
that, in order to induce us to take goods i in
stead of gold, the prices of the goods will be
cut down, so as to make them tempting, in
spite oftheMcKinlcy tariff. So many fac
tories abroad are dependent upon this mar
ket, and so many factory hands must starve
iftheydonot accept the lower wages their
employers will be compelled to pay to re
tain our trade, that I look upon increased
importations of cheap foreign goods as al
most a certainty.
TI.KNTY OP JIONEY HERE.
Besides we do not need to import
gold for any really good purpose. e
have an abundance of currency, and we are
adding to it 54,500,000 per month by the
issuing of legal tender notes against the
purchases of silver bullion under the act of
July, 1890. The gold that we have recently
sent nhrnnrl j-nmn mntlv from the United
States Treasury, where it had been lying
unused for years, and its witddrawal did
not hurt business any more than if it had
fallen from the clouds.
The proof that we have all the currency
we need is found in the absence of the
usual demand for it here at this season to
send to the West and Southwest to aid in
moving the crops. These sections arc
aniply supplied already, and do not call
for more. Gold, if it were to be imported,
couldn't be profitably used. It would lis
idle, as it lay idle before it was exported,
and would add nothing to the country's busi
ness. In another point on which I found myself
compelled to differ with many authorities,
the event is already vindicating myjudg
ment. Six weeks ago I showed by
arithmetic that the profits of the
national banks on circulation would
not be a sufficient inducement to
them to buy the maturing i per cents and
extend them at 2 per cent. This was in the
face of a declaration by a prominent New
York banker that if the Government would
make the extended rate 2 per cent instead of
1J4, which it proposed to do, the national
banks of this city would buy up and extend
the whole of the'bonds in private hands.
THE PROSPECT AHEAD.
Now I see he recedes from the position he
then took, and the prospect is that the Gov
ernment will have others to deplete its
$100,000,000 greenback redemption fund to
stay off the non-extended 4Js, or else let
them run till Congress meets at 4yjer
cent, as the contract provides.
Nevertheless, whatever may be the fate
of the Union Pacific Eailway Company, the
movement of gold or the disposition of the
L4 per cent bonds, I am entirely in accord
with my bull friends in taking a cheerful
view of the immediate business future of
the country. "Whether stocks. go up or go
down, and whether this, that or the other
embarrassed corporation or firm does or
does not pull- through and escape insolv
ency, the broad fact remains that the earth
this year will add liberally to the country's
wealth, and will furnish a solid basis for
business prosperity. This will not help
concerns which have only 90 cents of assets
with which to nay 100 cents on debt, but it
will be of material benefit to all the rest.
JAY GOUID'S MEEBY OUTING.
A Traveling Operation Enables Dim to
Communicate With Civilization.
San Francisco, Aug. 16. There is abso
lutely no foundation for the reports that
Jay Gould is seriously ill at Soda Springs,
Idaho. Parties who have just returned and
who met the "Wall street wizard deny posi
tively all such reports. Mr. Gould is as
spry and alert as he over was. His special
train of three cars is switched on a siding,
while the party is in the country fishing and
hunting.
"Whenevera good.fishing ground is reached
a lineman cuts the "telegraph wires and puts
in an instrument, so that constant communi
cation is kept up with the outer world.
Manager Clark, of the Union Pacific, is
Gould's constant companion. The Gould
party takes long drives offiuto the country,
miles away from civilization, and enjoys
camping out at ranches they come across.
The party will probably reach Salt Lake
early next week.
A BABBIT'S NINTH MUEDEH.
He Slays a Texas Deputy Sheriff Who At
tempted His Arrest.
San Antonio, Aug. 16. Antonio Car
rasci, a noted bandit chieftain and despe
rado and the slayer of eight men, has added
another victim to his list Torribio Pas
trango, a Deputy Sheriff, who has secured
evidence showing that Ojrrasci was the mur
derer of Charles Fusselman, a sergeant of
the Texas Hangers.
He attempted to arrest the bandit Friday
night at a fandango given on the Texas, side
of the river. As the Deputy Sheriff ad
vanced into the room the chieftain drew a
revolver and shot Pastrango, after which
he made his escape. Fifty Mexican rangers
have followed his trail into the mountains,
but it is unlikely that he will becaptured.
The residents of the peninsula have made
application to Governor Hogg that a de
tachment of State troops be stationed there.
BIG GAME 70S THE POLICE.
A Party of ltailroad Magnates Arrested for
Violating Game taws.
Danville, -Ili.., Aug. 16. Several
officials of the Big Four railway system
came to grief yesterday while violating tho
Illinois game laws. The Vermillion County
Association has been active in prosecuting
violators, and yesterday, when news was
received that a party was shooting prairie
chickens near Georgetown, officers were
sent out.
E. A. Peck, general superintendent of the
Big Four system; A. G. "Weeks, superin
tendent of the Peoria division; J. "W. Sim
mons, agent at Paris, and George Blackman,
of Indianapolis, were caught with a large
number of prairie chickens in their possess
ion. After considerable parleying they put
up $50 for their appearance at Danville to
morrow to answer to the charge against
them, and were permitted to depart

Onr Special Reduction and Clearing Sale
of Shoes is in full swing. It will last until
the end of the month, and it has already
lasted long enough to convince those who
have taken advantage of it that every price
from the lowest to the highest is without
parallel. The plain fact of the case is that
we are selling at a loss, and what we lose
you gain. Our figures are nominal. They
are so low that they have very little refer
ence to the real price of the article. Host
of the shoes are so ridiculously cheap that
it resembles a give-away rather than a sale.
