Just Five Subjects Thit Are Most Thoroughly Discussed. Eights and Wrongs of the Pinkerton System Not Touched Upon at Present The Colonel Explains the Omission All the Evidence on That Important Feature Not Yet at Hand How the Senate "Will Handle the Same Subject One of Its Members Thinks the Scope Proposed Is Too Broad Pecul iar Possibilities Under It. PTBOM X STAFF COEEESPOVDENTO "Washington, Aug. 1. The filibuster ing ia the House is not wholly an evil. It has given opportunsty for a -deal of enter taining and instructive tariff talk in the Senate, and has enabled Mr. Oates, Chair man of the Homestead investigating com mittee, to prepare at least a partial report, and uponjts approval first by the sub-committee -which prosecuted the investigation, and then by the full committee, it will be submitted to the House. In this contemplated report Mr. Oates, according to his own brief explanation of its scope, somewhat strangely omits any discussion of the particular feature of the Homestead trouble which his committee started out to investigate. Colonel Oates report incorporates five subjects which are thoroughly discussed, as follows: First Whether the reductions of the scale of wages of the Carnegie employes were Justifiable. Second Whether the treatment of the -employes was kind and just, i Third Whether the men were justified in "ibelr conduct in the milL I Fourth Whether the Carnegie Company (was justified in employing Pinkerton men. I Fifth What the jurisdiction ot Congress lis in the matter. I Why Plnkertonitm Is Lett Out. I Mr. Oates' explanation of his omission at this time to go into a discussion of the J rights and wrongs of the Pinkerton system, is that the evidence bearing on that part ot the investigation is not all in. "When Mr. Powderly gave his views and facts the other day, he was asked if he knew of any other witnesses who could give important or use ful evidenc in regard to the Pinkertons. Mr. Powderly thought he could, and promised to forward names. For this further evidence the committee says it is waiting, and therefore prefers not to deal with this phase of the question at this time though what connection evidence of the kind waited for can have with the principle involved, is hard to discover. It is just possible that the entire committee, which has taken an interested hand in this investigation since the return of the com mittee from Pittsburg, may request Sir. Oates to embody in his report the view of the sub-committee on the Pinkertons, and thus make the matter complete. The Senate's 'Way of Taking; Hold. A resolution was reported to the Senate to-day whose purpose, if carried out, will result in vastly greater benefit than any that can arise from the investigation con ducted by the Home. It will be remem bered that simultaneously with the House resolution looking to the Homestead inves tigation, a Senate resolution of similar im port was introduced and referred to the Committee on Contingent Expenses of the Senate, to which all such resolutions must go. Of course that committee was not the proper one to pursue sue! " inv estigation, as, at best, it is composed of but three Sen ators. The resolution lingered there, how ever, until last Friday, when it was report ed hack to the Senate. It lay over, under the rules, until Saturday, when it was re ferred to the Committee on Education and Labor, corresponding to the Committee on Labor of the House. It was reported from that committee to-day with a radical amendment, but at the request of Senator Cockrell, who wishes to speak upon it, was laid aside until to-morrow. The Resolution a Sweeping One. The original resolution contemplated an investigation of the Homestead troubles and of the Pinkerton system oi armed policemen, always at the beck of any who wish to employ them. The resolution, as amended, prescribes an investigation of the whole labor question; the relation of em ployers and employes; the rights of em ployers and the rights of employes the cause and the remedy of strikes; the employment of armed men to banish striking orlocked-ont workmen, and to conduct and protect workmen who come to take their places in short, the resolu tion, as Senator Hausbrongh, who reported it, expressed it to me to-day, gives oppor tunity for an analysis of the whole "labor question," as it is called, not only in its legal sense, but in its philosophical, theore tical, and social phases. It contemplates a vast deal more, in the way of inquiry, than any resolution exer before brought into either House of Congress. The Senator expressed a fear that it is too broad, and that there would have to be some well-defined limit to prevent illimit able and unending hearings, but it is prob able the prescription will yet be left broad enouch to let in theorists of every type who have a sovereign remedy for the evils that arise from differences between laborers and employers of labor. A Fine Sight to Observe. It would, indeed, be a fine sight to see before a Senate committee not only labor leaders, radical or conservative, such as Powderly and Gompers, philosophical and scientific Socialists like Bellamy, Anarch ists like Johann Most and Sirs. Parsons, single tax advocates like Henry George, testifying alongside of such revolutionary members of the Senate and Honse as Peffer, of Kansas; Palmer, of Illinois; Tom Johnson of Ohio, and the entire lot of Alliance men, whose platform declares for the prompt acquisition by the government of the rail- HOMESTEAD roads, telegraphs and telephones. Verily, the world moves, when a cautious body like the Senate of the United States Can even think of going into such an investiga tion. But possibly the resolution may be defeated to-morrow, or so modified that it may amount to nothing at all. WILL RESIST TWO YEARS. That Is the Story of a Boston Labor Lender Who lias Been to Hempstead Liberal Donations Reported From Unions and Individuals. Boston; Aug. L Special''- H. J. Skeffinton, the Secretary of the Boot and Shoewor&ers' International Union, who is one of the leaders of the American Feder ation of Labor, has just returned from Homestead. He says he was admitted to the councils of the Amalgamated men. In an interview to-day he said: "While I was in the general office of the Amalga mated Association in Pittsburg, talking to "William Weihe, one mail alone brought in 147 letters, every one of which contained money, and 50 of them were from cigarmakers' snions, none of which contained less than $100. Another fact not published is that the men in lams' company raised fGO to buv him clothing when he was driven out of camp in his rag, and this SCO represented a great deal, as lew of the men had their pay or brought money with them. "I was told by the officers of the Amal gamated Association that they had settled down for a two-years strike. Two years is a long time, but they mean it, and are able to keep out all the 'members of the association for that time. They only need money for the laborers and con-union men who came out, and for whom they are de barred by the laws of their body from using their funds to support. Hugh O'Donnell, who is said to have no mysteriously disappeared, simply goes to New York, where he had been summoned by members of the Republican National Committee, who are anxious to have this matter settled before the election on ac count of the tariff talk it has occasioned." AN ACT OP JUSTICE. Canadians Practically Admit That Retalia tion Is Not Unjust They Are Greatly Worried Over the Effort to Investigate One of the Wrong. Montreal Que., Aug. L Special Senator Hiegina' motion in the United States Senate, directing the inter-State Commerce Committee to investigate aggres sions of the Canadian Pacific Railway and its Pacific Ocean steamers, and to report as to the propriety of suspending the privileges of transit on the west side of the continent, and to recommend such other legislation as may appear necessary in order to protect the international and foreign commerce of the United States against Canadian aggres sion, has caused considerable alarm to the Pacific people. President Van Home tried to laugh at the matter, but it is a known fact that he and the directors of the road are very much worried over the fear of the United States enacting legislation hostile to the railway. The Canadian Pacific people have an agent at Washington who Is keeping them posted on all matters affecting the road. The Witness, one of the most influential of" the Canadian papers, to-night admits the justice of action asainst the Canadian Pa cific. It savs: "Whatever advantage the Canadian Pacific offers American through business on account of its shorter mileage, we think both the company and the Americans it serves hive a right to whatever advantages the company may give, by not being embarrassed bythe in-ter-Stnte Commerce law. We think that it has no right to, and that the "United States which enibarrased its own railways by that act is doing ample justice whenit protects them against railwavs which are not just to the United States." CANADA IS CONFUSED. She Can't Understand Why the President Is Jnst at Tresem Retaliating. Ottawa, Aug. L Spcda. It is offi cially stated that the Dominion Govern ment fully expects that President Harrison will carry the retaliatory threat against Canada into effect as regards the use of the St Mary's canal. It is said that it was a mat ter of surprise to the Government that President Harrison totally ignored the pro posal of the Dominion Government, sub mitted in June, by which all cause of com plaint against Canada for alleged discrim ination against the United States in the use ot the Dominion canals would be removed. It is argued that if President Harrison does not intend accepting the offer as a basis of settlement of the canal question, it is difficult to see what his motive is in withholding his rejectment from publica tion. The fact that the President has re mained silent leads to the belief here that he offer of the Canadian Government prac tically disposes of the case, although for political leasons, President Harrison has withheld his affirmative reply.

ALL EYES ON The Observations of Last Month Abont to Be Vbri- fied or Knocked Ont. NEARNESS OP THE PLANET Anf Its Opposition to the Sun Afford a Fine Opportunity TO TEST TEE BIG TELESCOPE. Studying the Planet at a Distance of Abont 50.000 Miles. SEVERAL QUESTIONS TO BE SETTLED j ' rsrrCTAi. telkguam to the DtRPAxcn.i Lick Observatory, Cat, Aug. 1. The astronomers here are eagerly waiting for Wednesday night, when Mars will be in op position to the sun, in order to confirm their observations made during the last month. The planet is closer to us now than at any time since August 15 years ago, when Prof. Hall, ot Washington, ffrst discovered its satellites, and it will not furnish as good opportunities for observation again till 1909. During Julv the Mt. Hamilton astrono mers have been observing Mars two hours each night, When the planet is on the meri dian, and they will coniinue those obsena tions throughout August The highest magnifying power practicable has been 700 diameters, the equivalent distance from the planet being CO, 000 miles. Mars is now very low in the sky, and when on the ter minal is only 31 degrees above the horizon. For this reason the markings are very diffi cult to see, the atmospheric disturbance being so great The Two Satellites Visible. With the low altitude, the planet's un steadiness due to the atmosphere causes all the markings at times to disappear. The two satellites, the two smallest objects known to the whole solar system, are just visible to an observer with the 12-inch telescope, when he knows exactly where to look for them. They are conspicuous ob jects in the 3G-inch telescope, and have been seen by all visitors. The eclipses of the inner satellite in the planet's shadow are easily observable. Since the outer satel lite does not suffer eclipse now, it is neces sary to obtain the positions of that satellite by micrometrical measurements, which are made regularly in order to properly deter mine its orbit The south polar cap of Mars was unusually brilliant and large a month ago,but it is rap idly diminishing in size and brightness. This variability of the polar caps has led astronomers to believe they are composed of sUow and ice. The south polar cip dimin ishes accordingly, as summer in that hemi sphere comes.qnand jncreases,srith the ad vent of winter. At the present time there are numerous dark markings within this polar cap, as if there were large areas from which the snow had disapueared. These markings have not been seen before at any observatory. More Visible Than Ever Before. The region on the surface known as the Locus Soles is now seen nearly as It I ap peared through the 36-inch telescope during the opposition of lo90, and very different from its appearance as shown by Schiapa relli. The Tons Auventi (fountain of youth), a large dark region heretofore seen single, now appears double through' the large refractor. But most remarkable of all the observed phenomena are three or more very promi nent bright projections on the southwest limb of Mars, visible for several nights, for a short time each evening about thiee weeks ago. They will probably be visible on the southeast limb in about two or three weeks, when it is hoped to determine more fully their character. Apparently these projec tions arise from very bright regions on the planet Whether they are high mountains, or are due to some other phenomena, it is now Impossible to say. Up to the present time Schiaparelli's "canals" have not been seen double. Draw ings of the planet are made on eacn clear evening. These drawings will finally be converted into a single map at the close of the summer observation;. Last night the south polar cap, very complex, and numer ous dark markings were visible. Contradictions of Former Theories. The unique spectacle of markings in the snow caps has been noted not only with the large telescope.hut also with the 12-inch, by Baruard, who some time ago observed that on one night a dark streak would appear across the polar cap, and then would follow a separation and then the disappearance of large portions of the polar cap, leaving two white spots. The discoveries jnst made at Mt. Hamil ton are, jn brief, a contradiction of the sup posed doubling or gemination of the canals of the planet Mars and a clearer definition ot the extraordinary satellites or moons. Among astronomers there was great curi osity to know what the b!gLick telescope would accomplish in the observation of these diminutive satellites. Nothing had been added to the world's knowledge of them for 15 jears, until now, whence great telescope has made clear their phases and defined their diameters au achievement which marks an epoch in astronomy. Just before Hall's discovery the great equatorial telescope of the Washington Observatory had been com pleted, and it was through this that dis covery was made. Since4he Lick telescope, greater than all, has been erected and is bet ing given its first chance at Mars under the most favorable conditions, Schiaparelli's romantic theory ot geminated canals has already been disproved, but any night may bring into view objects even more indica tive of the belief that the planet is in habited. It is this possibility of great discoveries that keeps the thoughts of astronomers the world around turned toward Mt Hamilton. TESTING A QEBEYMANDEE.

'I: .Krf(Jt" Cor rect returns from various parts of the State show that the straight Democratic ticket, headed by Thomas Jones, has been over whelmingly elected. The returns develope the fact that the bulk of negroes voted for Jones. Contrary to expectations the election passed off quietly. During the last days of the campaign, Mr. Bowman, Kolb'a chief of staff, made violent speeches. Prepara tions were made by the latter looking to a possible race war. The best element of the colored population, seeing the danger, took an active part in the campaign in behalf of Jones, the regular Democratic nominee, and by this means averted bloodshed. Some of the blacks are reported to have declared for Cleveland. ' Later returns carry out the first indica tions. This city gives Governor Jones 2, 813 majority and the county will give at least 6,000. The counties of Mobile, Cal houn, Jefferson, Montgomery, Dale, Dallas, Russell, Barbour, Sumter, Bullock, Talla dega, Walker, Laudergale, Perry,Lowndes, "Wilcox and Marengo show nearly 35,000 majority for the Democratic ticket. The indications arc that not over 15 out of CG counties in the State will give Kolb a majority, and not one of them will exceed 1,000. The Legislature will be over whelmingly straight Delnocrat'c. The ne groes everywhere refused to follow the Kolb banker and voted in great numbers open Democratic tickets. In many cases they were actual workers at the polls. This was especially the case in this citv. The expectation was that the vote would be the largest iu vears, but the results do not show that this expectation was realized. A conservative estimate places Governor Jones' majority at not less than 50,000. The Advertiser has already received exact returns from various parts of the State, and scores of telegrams as to the general turn of the vote, showing that the straight Demo cratic ticket, headed by Thomas G. Jones, has been overwhelmingly elected. Nearly every telegram states that the bulk ot the negroes voted for Jones. So far there is no report of disorder of any kind. In Bar bour county, Jones received 4 Out of every 5 votes polled. WRECKED ON THE BIG F0DR. Two Reported Killed end a Xittrce Num. b-r of PasBeniren Injured. St. LOuis, Ma, Aug.

BERKMAFS RED CROSS Just Kemcmbered bf the Police Officials of Jacksonville. HIS PHOTOGRAPH IS RECOGNIZED As That of & Man Who Was Ono of the lelloflr Fever Jyurses of 1888. HIS WAHDEKIXGS AFTER TIIAT TIME SPECIAL TKLEBItAM to TUB DISPATCH. 1 Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 1. Berk man, the Anarchist who tried to kill Chairman Frick.of the Carnegie Steel Com pany, was a yellow fever nurse in this city during the epidemic of 1883. He was sent here by the American Red Cross Associa tion, having volunteered his services. When he first reached here he reported at the Travelers' Hotel, then the headquarters of the medical corps. "I remember him well," said Chief of Police Jaek Keefe to-day. "The published cuts of Berktnan tally exactly with him. He had the appearance of a Russian He brew. He was out in the Sand Hills Hos pital as a patient As soon as he got well he put on his coat, with the stripes of the Red Cross order on it, and appeared to Invite admiration. I remember the fellow be cause he was the first one to put on the cross. Everybody who had anything to do with him thought he was a crank. He couldn't talk good English then, and seemed to be pretty fresh in this country." Remembered by a Serjeant "Why, I remember the fellow, tdo, come to think of it," said Sergeant Thames. "I was on the sanitary guard then, and one night I was called up to the Travelers' Hotel to take charge of this fellow, who was regarded as a suspect The chap was kicking up a high old row, and acting so strangely they thought something must be wrong with him. AVe got him in a carriage, and I had to struggle to keep the fellow quiet. He had a small box in his pock et, which, he said, contained poison, aud he vowed he was going to take it I got tired trying to keep him from doing so, and finally said: 'Go ahead; take your poison; a coffin or so- more or less doesn't make much difference in these times.' "Well, he quieted right down and didn't make any more efforts at suicide. I carried him out to St Luke's, and I don't remem ber what became of him after that I guess he went on out to the Saud Hills, as the Chief says." Wanderlno of tht Snsorcted Nihilist. The records show that Berkman was taken, with the fever within a short time after he reached here, becoming a patient ut the Sand Hills Hospital before he be- icome a nurse there. He gave the authori ties lots of trouble in one way or another, but was as good a nurse as any of those sent here by the Red Cross. From Jacksonville Berkman left for New Orleans, thence out West, and later to Chicago. From Chicago he "drifted to Cairo, where he obtained a position on the Telegram and became its act ing foreman. While in the office he was an element, of discord, as he had represented himselftobea Union printer and his cre dentials were not forthcoming, and al though be'had been waited on patiently to produce them, he was bounced. He left for Memphis and secured a job on the Avalanche and boasted to his fellow printers of his heroism In going to Jackson ylle during an epidemic of yellow fever. He also displayed a Red Cross medal and diploma given him here in substantiation ot his story. He said, also, that he was a Russian Il'ebrew who had been exiled to Siberia for Nihilism, from which exile he had made his escape and come to America. Argalns the Railroad Irnst Cases.

ABDUCTED A COMMISSIONER. A Farmers Alliance Official Carried On to Prevent n Tux J-evr. Anthony, Kan., Aug. 1. Considerable excitement has been occasioned in this county over the abduction of Amon Farmer, an Alliance member of the Board.of County Commifsioners and the attempted abduction of Alexander Terrili a Republican member of the Board. Four or five massed men called Mr. Farmer out of bed just before dawn this morning took him into a "carriage aud that was the last seen of him. Com missioner Terrili was out of town when the abductors called for him. . The Board of Commissioners was to have met to-day to make a levy for the payment of the judgment on the old Harper county bonds required by a mandamus issued by the Snpreme Court two weeks ago. The better class of Harper county taxpayers had advised the board to mike the levy, but the Alliance leaders are in favor of ignoring the mandamus and demand that the Com missioners refuse to make the levy or re sign. The cause of the abduction was doubtless to prevent the levy of the special tax. Detectives are at work on the matter. A DEMOCRATIC TANGLE. General Brace Wants to Be Nominated for Senator In Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Aug, L There promises to be a fight in the coming Democratic State convention over the question of nopi mating a candidate for United States Sena tor. Senator "Vilas went through the cam paign two years ago as the indorsed candidate, and . he had no trouble when the legislature got ready to chose a successor to John O. Spooner. General Edwards Bragg wants to be the next United States Senator from tnis State, and he would much prefer making a fight before the convention. But there are many Democrats who do not favor Bragg's can didacy, but who do not wish to oppose him until after the fall election. For this reason they are opposed to having the State Convention nominate or indorse a candidate for Senator. Bragg and his friends know all this, aud tbey have resolved to make a fight in the con vention, believing that in case the conven tion does not take action it will nominate Bragg. H. 0.

Long: Speech About Capitalists Batter and Knold Will Go to Court This Morning- and Ask for Ball Their Attorney Takes Issue With Chief Murphy on the Question of Authority. The Allegheny police, who have dona most of the active work in arresting Anar chists since the terrible attempt ofAnton omist Berkman to kill H. C. Frick, yester day afternoon brought in another member of that revolutibnary order. The prisoaer was Marcus Albrecht, the German sboe- Marcui Albrecht, tht Anvchlst OoUer. maker at No. 73 Spring Garden avenue, at whose honor Herr Fricke tormerlylivedand where Henry Bauer had since Fricke's death made his home. Early in the, afterndon Detective Shore, of the Pittsburg force, and Captain 'Cooper of the Pinkerton Agency, visited the Alle gheny police headquarters and talked with Chief Murphy and Superintendent Mutb. The result was that Captain Schatiman in nniform and Detective Steele In plain clothes were sent out to Spring Garden ave nue to bring in the shoemaker. When they entered the small shop where Albrecht lives and works, the occupant was badly frightened, and Drcame so nervous that he could hardly put on his coat. He was walked all the way to the Allegheny City Hall, and on the way he talked to himself almost constantly, gesticulating and shak ing his fists. At the City Hall the prisoner was taken into the private office of Superintendent Muth, where lie ttas questioned by that official In the presence of Chief Murphy, Detectives Shore and Steele and Captain Schatzman. Albrecht is a short, stocky man, with rough, black hair, and a homely dark mustache and beard. His forehead is. large, his eyes heavy 6ut full of fire, his nose large and hooked and his cheek bones prominent. He does not speak English, although he said he had been in the United States for 1!) years. During the examina tion he was nervous, and his bands trem bled violently at times. He was guarded in his answers, and often meditated for some time before answering a question. Admit Ravine Been an Anarchist. He said he had formerly been a member of the International Anarchist Association, belonging to group 2, of Allegheny. He declared that he is not a member now. He was asked how long it was since he quit them, and he replied; "When Herr Most was in town last June I was not on the committee." He was asked how much money was real ized from Most's speech. He said he did not know: he thought about 100 people Were present He was asked if Most was not coming on again to raise money for the de fense of Bauer. Mr. Albrecht answered: "That would cost too much; it costs $35 or HO to bring him here and board him, and by each member making a donation we could save that money." The prisoner was then questioned con cerning Berkman and was shown a picture of that individual. He said he had never seen the man, and did not think he had ever been at the house to see Bauer. "He might have been there without my knowing it," he said. "I go out to take shoes to my cus tomers, I solicit work and I go to the tan nery and buv my own leather. So he might have come there when I was away." The prisoner was then questioned con cerning the history of Henry Bauer, of which little is known. Albrecht himself seemed to know little. He said Bauer came from Hesse, but from which one ot those principalities he could not tell. He had been in America eight or ten years, and Albrecht met hirn 'first in the saloon of Weiss, at Pike and Chestnut streets, Alle gheny. Bauer had lived with Albreeht since April, 1891, just after the death of Herr Fricke. The shoemaker had never heard Bauer speak of Berkman. In fact, he said he never heard the name of Berk man until the day Mr. Frick was shot Then he saw .the name in a newspaper. Alone in the afternoon a man who lives. at .No. 72 Spring Garden avenue drove up in a I' -.l .!,!. "fcVinV- V,. K.or ilint Bauer heard it and rushed out to ask if it were really truev About 6:30 Bauer bought a paper from a newsboy, and after reading it salddo Albreeht: "Frick Is still livlnc." "Did you ever hear Bauer say that Frick ought to be killed?" was the question put to Albrecht Hereplled, "No, I never did." Touched (he Tendrr Point. "Did vou ever hear him say that capital ists ougfit to be killed?"
