Troops were sent to eu force the payments, but were beaten off. An Imposing force was then sent and shot down thu defenseless populace of 25 villages. In oue plnee 300 or 400 women were as saulted by the soldiers and then hacked to pieces with swords uud bayonets. In an. other place 200 weeping women begged at the commander's feet for mercy.

A large company, beaded by a priest, knelt near the church begging for compassion, averring that they had nothiug to do with the culprits who killed the Kurds. It was in vain; ull wore killed. Hevernl attractive women were told they might live if they would recant their faith. They replied: "Why should we deuy Christ? Wo have no more reason to do so than these pointing to the mangled bodies of their husbiiuds uud brothers kill us too." This wns done. Tho letter says that between 8,000 and 10,000 were killed, llnbes were impaled on the samo weapon with their mothers. Seve ral soldiers admitted that they had disposed of 100 victims each.

Holering to the American Hallway Union adulation, he advised a consolidation with this as well a with all other Inbor organizations. Mis resume of the l'ullmsn strike terminat ed in a severe criticism of MnJ. Oca, John M. BchofMd ami the recommendations of that tlleer for an Increase of the army, to gether with the action of "Chicago's million aire nrlstoeracy. who wero permitted to pro sent a stand of colors to the l'lfteenih infan try," which he said wns an Indication of an "Uneasy desire to. subjugate Inbor through the military powers of the nation." He urged that the Assembly take strong grounds niralnst an Increase of the military forces of tho nation and that they "advocate a de crease in the regular army and the aholittion ol the State militia, for from them are com ing to the surface the sentiments of a militury deposition." Ho also made a sharp criticism of the banking laws and advised a few mluor chnngi-s In the preamble of the order.

The report of the labor commission np. pointed to Investigate the railroad strike last summer has been made public It says In part: "The troubles of the Illinois Central nnd Chicago, ltock Island nnd I'acillo companies were the ones Investigated, According to the testimony, the railroads lost In property destroyed, hire of United States deputy mar shals and other incidental expenses lit lenst tiiM5,:iOH. The loss of earnings of these'roads Is estimated at 4,72.Ulti. Home 8.100 em. ployes at Pullman lost in wnges at least tr350.0'jO. About 100,000 employes upon tho 24 reads centering at Chlengo, all of which were more or less involved In the strike, lost in wages at least 1,8.S0.HS. Mauy of these employes are still adrift and losing wages." The commlslou sax's of the Pullman palace car company: "For the year ending July 1, 1893, the dlvl dends were 2,520,000 and the wages 4)7, 222.719.S1. Foi the year ending July 1 1HU4, the dividends wore (2,8S0,00i) and the wages 4.7i, iui.mi. "The conditions created in Pullman en abled the management at all times to assert with great vigor Its assumed right to lis wages and rents absolutely aud to renresi the spirit of Independence which leads tc labor organizations and tneir attempts at meditation, arbitration, strikes, etc." In conclusion the committee recommends: "That there be a permanent Culled Statu strike commission of three members, with duties and powers of Investigation and reconv niendatlou us to disputes between railroad and their employes, similar to those vested in the Interstate commission as to rates,ote. The commission further recommends thut congress consider the establishment of a license system by which all the higher em' ployes or others of railroads engaged in iu. terstute commerce should be licensed aftei dun and proper examination. The commission suggests the consideration by the states of the adoption of some systorn of coLKlliallon and arbitration like that use in the oommouwealth of Massachusetts. That system might be reinforced by addition' al provisions giving the board of arbitration more power to investigate ull strikes, whether the question might be considered as to giving labor organizations a standing before the law, as heretofore suggested, for national trades unions.

The decision to offer 50,ih .0,000 bonds for the replenishment of the Treasury reserve wns oy uaiiKere generally approved, it is generally assumed that tho bonds will bo tnken nt once. The effect Is less ear to an ticipate, lor the formal announcement Hint after a general reconstruction ot tho revenno laws It Is still found ncecssnry to borrow largely tends to raise doubt about flnnnclnl provisions for the future.

The Iron Age says: Those who entortnined somewhat sanguine views as to the lmmcd ate effect of the result of the election upon business have boon disappoint ed. Buyers hnve not Jumped Into the mar ket, and tho volume of business has shown practically no increase. The feeling fs hotter but there are other considerations which out weigh that In shaping the nenr future of the Iron trade, The modest demand for finished material Is making the steol works more Indifferent buy ers of Bessemer pig, and that hns created a weakening tendency. Thus far the balance has been well poised. In the wire trnde the latest development is the rupture of the new ly formed barb wire combination, while wnr goes on vigorously in the wire nail trade. Tho starting of two of tho lendlug western tin plate mills on a non-union basis is a movement of much slgnlllcnnce. It means thnt an effort Is being made to drive the Amalgamated asso ciation from one of tts last strongholds. INDORSEdThE SHIP CANAL.. Ohio Stat Board of Commerce in Hearty Accord With the Project.
