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.
GENERAL FEY IS DEAD.
The Slayer of General Zollicofler Peace
fully Passes Away.
Louisviile, Kr., Aug. L General
Speed S. Fry, Superintendent of the Sol
diers' Home, recently established here) is
dangerously ill and can hardly recover.
General Fry was born in Louisville,
near Danville, in 1817, was educated
at Center and Wabash -Colleges, served
in the Mexican War, was long the
County Judge at Danville, raised a regi
ment at the beginning of the Civil "War
and fought at the battle of Mill Springs,
when with his own hand he slew the Con
federate General Felix It Zollicoffer. He
participated in the battle of Perrv
ville and many other engagements. In
1862 he was made Brigadier General and
later was given command of the Eastern
division of Kentucky. Since the war he
has practioed law, except from 1869 to 1873,
when he was Collector of Internal Revenue.
Later General Fry died to-night at the
Soldiers' Home.
A I1VELY CONTEST AT FABGO,
Where the Republican State Convention f
to Be Held To-Day.
Fargo, N. D., Aug. L The Republican
State Convention that meets in this city to
morrow, promises a lively contest. The
great fight has been for the nomination for
Governor, and the present incumbent, Gov
ernor Burke, is in the lead, although Roger
Allin is said by his supporters to be able to
poll a heavy enough vote to keep Burke
out. and possibly, nut himself in on a later
ballot
It is said a combination is being made for
Allin for Governor, Hankinson of Richland
for Lieutenant Governor, Rourke or Ran
som for Attorney General, Booker, of Pem
bina, forTreasurer, Corliss, ef Grand Forks,
for Chief Justice, and Hamilton, of Grand
Forks,- for Secretary of State. H. Johnson's
opponent for the Congressional nomination
has developed considerable strength, but
will probably fall short of votes.

ALL EYES ON
The Observations of Last
Month Abont to Be Vbri-

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.

COLORED VOTES COUNTED
In
Alabama Because They Were for the
Democratic Ticket Overwhelming De
feat or the Farmers Alliance Cmicll
ilate A SlHjorliy oi 30,000 Cfalm id for
Jenes. - -
MoitTGOMEKT, Aug. '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.

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.

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.

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

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

a paper from a newsboy, and after reading
