IN THE SENATE
Putting in Time Debating the Bail
road Debts
WASHINGTON, July 19.—The senate,
after assembling, went into executive
session for over two hours, and on re
opening the doors the conference report
on the general deficiency bill was
agreed to.
Harris' resolution in regard to the
Union Pacific railway was taken up,
and Morgan (Democrat of Alabama)
continued'his speech on the subject. He
read a letter from a correspondent say
ing that In the manipulations of stock
the large shareholders had been pro
tected, while the smaller holders had
been frozen out. This was about to be
done again. He hoped the president
would: defer action, in order to enable
congress to look into the matter.
Harris of Kansas hoped a vote would
soon be had.
Thurston gave notice of Intention to
discuss the subject In the future.
Stewart of Nevada then took the floor.
He reviewed'the history of the construc
tion of the road, contending that It was
a patriotic effort and not a scheme to rob
the government.
Harris, in refutation of this, called at
tention to President Cleveland's stric
tures upon Union Pacific management in
his message of January, 1888.
Stewart said he did not wish to ex
onerate the company from payment of
Just dues to the government, but ob
jected to their being regarded: as crimi
nals. He desired to have the whole mat
ter closed. The resolution under con
sideration would accomplish no pur
pose.
Thurston of Nebraska spoke in oppo
sition to the resolution. He contended
that the government had already risked
enough money in the investment, and
that without further expenditure it
should proceed by the ordinary legal
methods through the courts of thecoun
try to enforce its legal rights, whatever
they might be, and to secure repayment
of all its dues on whatever property the
courts shall find are justly subject there
to. The proposition before the senate,
ho said, stripped of technicalities, was
. simply to invest another $34,000,000 and
take the chance of getting it back on
the ultimate sale of the road.
'At 5 o'clock an executive session was
held and then adjournment was had.

California Fruit Prospects
SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.—One of
the leading fruit packers of Northern
England, James Ashburne, of New Cas
tle on Tyne, is here on a visit of both
pleasure and- business. In speaking of
the standing of California fruit in the
English markets, Mr. Ashburne said:
"In our country the fruit is well liked
and always In great demand. Thus far
we have only handled canned and pack
ed fruits. The refrigerator cars have
been tried and to. some extent have
prayed successful. When the practi
cal transportation of Callfornit fruit
across the continent and. ocean has been
lirought to a -.state of perfection, I have
no doubt that your fruit will take a po
sition as a considerable factor In our
markets. This perfection in methods
of transportation Is what English deal
ers have been seeking for many years
and we all look forward to the time
when freseh fruit from California can
be placed on the markets of London in
good cundltion."

STRIKE FUNDS
To Be Raised by Railroad
Employes
MUCH SECRECY MAINTAINED
AS TO THE MOVEMENTS OF THE
STRIKERS
'
Active Work Begun in the Coke
Region to Induce Men to
Quit Work
Associated Press Special Wire.
PITTSBURG, ra., July 19.—The strike
leaders are maintaining the greatest se
crecy regarding their movements, but it
Is believed they contemplate calling on
the railway organizations for assist
ance. Secretary Warner gave out infor
mation today that a meeting of railroad
employes was held yesterday, at which
the situation of the miners' strike was
thoroughly discussed. Resolutions were
adopted pledging support to the strikers,
and each member was assessed $2 for
the strike fund. Mr. Warner refused to
divulge the name of the railroad em
ploying the men, stating that it might
lead to an Investigation an dthe dis
charge of the men.
From another source it was reported
lo be a meeting of the conductors and
brakemcn of the roadscentering in Pitts
burg.
It was not claimed that the action
taken was at the suggestion of the Rail
way Trainmen's' union.
Active work has been commenced in
the coke region and efforts will be made
to bring out all the men at mines where
the product is being supplied to Pitts
burg.
The mines at Leeohburg on the West
Pennsylvania railroad have been closed.
VIOLENCE AVOIDED
CANONSBURG, Pa„ July 19.—The
striking miners from Bridgeville who vis
ited the Allison, Boone and Enterprise
mines today for the purpose of Inducing
the men at work to come out, dk-peresd i
this afternoon, havin attained their
object without trouble. Immcdlately
upon the receipt of the news of the pro
posed' raid the mine* owners at these
pits ordered a suspension until the ex
citement should die out.
DEBS AT FAIRMOUNT
WHEELING, W. Va., July 19.—Today
was Debs day at Fail-mount, and it was
the biggest day in the history of the
town. People came from all the country
around and jammed the courthouse and
streets for blocks, but they came out
of curiosity and not for sympathy with
the strikers. This was shown by the fact
that the Pritchard miners, who have
been out, after hearing the speech, met
and voted to return to work tomorrow.
Tonight Debs gave It as his opinion
that the region would be closed by
Thursday, but the operatorssay the men
now striking will be back at work by
that time unless the agitators get out
the men at work tomorrow. Debs was
very cool and moderate in his talk and
offended no one.
All the men at Elkhorn and Thacker
went to work today and Pocahontas and
Flat Top miners voted to stay at work.
There are only about SOO of the 4000 men
who struck Saturday idle today, and
this number is likely to diminish.
On. the Ohio side everything is quiet.
The reports that spikes had been driven
Into the switches on the Wheeling and
Lake Erie to derail trains at Dillonvat-:
is untrue.
A BIG WALKOUT
SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 19.—Three
thousand miners are reported to have
walked out of the Southern Illinois Held
today.
NOT THE AIRSHIP
Arctic Residents Puzzled by a Big
Balloon
VICTORIA, B. C, July 19.—Just about
a year ago a great balloon-shaped body
powerfully illuminated, was reported
from the northern Interior of British
Columbia by Indians who had no pos
sible means of communication with
others before making their almost sim
ultaneous reports to the Inellan agents
but who claimed to have seen It at points
not too far distant to make it probable
that it was the same object both had
seen. The Indian.:' had all been warned
to look out for Prof. Andre's balloon and
they supposed it was this balloon that
they were reporting. The fact that they
had received this warning caused the
skeptical to aver that the Indians' Imag
inations had been at work and that there
was no balloon or other aerial visitor
about.
Now a similar report comes from an
other source. W. P. Fitzge raid, c in-
Ployed at Ihe Wadhams cannery at Riv
ers Inlet, wf-ltes that while fishing for
salmon with a partner about 2:40 o'clock
on the morning of July 10th. they saw
a strange light in the sky, seemingly at
tached to a monster balloon! They
watched it until an hour after daylight
when it disappeared.' Neit knowing that
Andree had not yet ascended they
thought that it was his balloon that they
saw.

FADED AND GONE
Death of the Lady Who Inspired
Thomas Moore
NEW YORK, July 19.—Mrs. Ame-lla
Kohler is dead 1 at Mour.it Vernon. Had
It not been for Mrs. Kohler. Tom' Moore
might never have written "The Last
Rose of Bummer." The poem was'of her
suggestion ar.d the first line was from,
her lips-. She' was, early in the century,
a close friend ot Moore's sister and
kept a private school In London. While
walking in the garden of the school one
day Mrs. Kohler, so the story goes,
plucked a rose, remarking: "'Tis' the
last rose of summer; why not write
about it. Dr. Moore?"
The incident suggested tire thoughts
that were afterward so beautifuly wov
en into verse, and the poem was dedi
cated by the poet to "Amelia," which is
Mrs. Kuhler's' first name. \
Mrs. Kohler was 92 years old when
she died, and for twenty years had lived
with hier daughter, Mrs. F. M. Saunders,
at Mount Vernon. Her maiden name
was Amelia Offergeld, and her father
was an officer under General Biuche-r.
The family home was at Aix la Cha.pelle.
Mn=. Kohler often spoke of having s-een
Napoleon In her girlhood.

COL. CROCKER'S WILL
WILL BE OPENED AFTER THE
FUNERAL
Tho Railroad Magnate's Estate Will
Aggregate Seven Millions and
Possibly Very Much More
SAN FRANCISCO. July 19.—The
future management of the Crocket
estate made necessary by the
death of Col. Fred Crocker, First Vice-
President of the SotttherU Pacific Com
pany, which occurred Saturday night, is
expected to devolve largely upon George-
Crocker, but those who are in the best
position to judge consider that some one
outside the Crocker family will succeed
to the office of First Vice-President of
the big railroad corporation. It is ru
mored that General Hubbard of New
York may he offered the position if he.
can arrange matters so that he can take
up his residence in San rancisco, which
he would necessarily have to do. Col.
Crocker's will is locked in his private
vault at the Crocker-Woolworth Hank
and there It will remain until after th>:
funeral, when It will be opened. The
members of the family decline to discus.-,
it at present, and Col. Crocker's lawyers
do not feel at liberty to reveal its con
tents.
VALUE OF THE ESTATE
Colonel Charles Frederick Crocker left
an estate, says- the San Francisco Ex
aminer, which is valued at not less than
$7,000,000. In all probability the estate Is
considerably larger. The administrators
of the estate will look for It In two direc
tions —the property which he held in his
own name, and the property which stood
in the family name. The former was com
paratively limited. The great bulk of his
w-palth was represented by his interest
in the private corporation known as the
Crocker Estate Company, one of the first
corporations of Its kind to be formed in
this city. In this estate company by far
the greater part of the vast properties of
Charles Crocker, one of the original
three partners in the railroad, has been
conserved for the benefit of his heirs.
Ever, with Ihis knowledge now, no:
even those who have the handling of the
affairs of the company can give more
than an approximate estimate of the
value of the estate left by the oldest son
of the first Charles Crocker. This esti
mate, as stated, is probably $7,000,000
and may be over $5,000,000. Conservative
business men would fix the value of the
estate at $8,000,000 or more.
The separate real estate owned by C.
F. Crocker was small. The old home,
his town house, on the southwest corner
of Pine and Leavenworth streets, may
be worth $75,000, and his newly pur
chased country home, "Uplands," in San
Mateo county, cost $130,000. Besides this
there was his personal property, jewelry,
plate, etc., for which last year he paid
taxes on a valuation of $13,725. It may
be that all told his separate property
amounts to $250,000.
The balance of the estate, rising high
in the millions, is represented by the in
terest he held in the Crocker Estate Com
pany, the company's holdings being
not worth less than $25,000,000. The in
terest of the estate of C. F. Crocker Is
one-fourth and so his estate —the interest
of the Crocker estate and his separate
property together—amounts to aJaout
$7,000,000, with the proviso, however, that
it may be much more.
OFF FOR EUROPE
The Bradburys Hope Soon to Be
Forgotten
NEW YORK, July 19.—John Brad
bury, the Los Angeles millionaire, and
his wife, Lucy Bradbury, who became
reconciled to each other in Chicago a
few day? ago, arrived at the Grand Cen
tral station here early this evening. The
Bradburys remained in their private
compartment on the train during the en
tire trip from Chicago. They seemed to
be happy when they alighted from the
train.
Col. Bradbury said that the journey
from- Chacago was most delightful anel
referring to the reconciliation with his
wife, said:
"Yes, we are reconciled. We shall stay
in New York a few days and then we
shall journey to Europe. We have no
definite plans as'yet. In fact we have
ncrt discussed the matter very much on
our way from Chicago here. I do not
care to give my address in New York, It
is possible that Mrs. Bradbury and my
self will go to some seaside resort be
fore we go abroad. Now, that Is all I
have to say."
Before getting Into his carriage Mr.
Bradbury added that it was his belief
that W. Russell Ward had exerted an
undue Influence over his wife and that
she would never have done what she did
had it not been for his spell over her.
"I am positive of this," he said.
He further vouchsafed the opinion that
the whole matter would be soon forgot
ten and said that Mrs. Bradbury was
Sincerely Barry for her act and attributed
it to the powerful and dangerous con
trol Ward had acquired over her.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
The Outrageous Tariff Bill
It is not a "free trader," but an old time
Republican protectionist who character
izes the senate tariff bill as "the most
outrageous one ever given to the people
of this country." Senator Teller, who
voted for the bill because he believed in
giving the Republican party the full re
sponsibility which should accompany
power, says this.—Riverside Enterprise.
Sending It Home
Say. you bicycle-boys that talk so much
about good roads. Suppose you petition
the city trustees to levy a special tax of
$5 a year on each and ejrery bicycle for
the benefit of the street sprinkling fund.
That wouldn't be- much to pay for the
luxury of the many miles of du;'.less ar.d
chr.ckholcless streets it would "provide.
—Riverside Enterprise, ✓
The Greed for Gold
The stories of untold wealth to be had
in the Alaskan gold fields will doubtless
tempt many a poor fellow to brave the
Inclement climate and the hardships In
cident to a winter in the frozen north in
the hope of fpeedlly enriching himself;
and the great majority. If they return at
all, will do to hungry, forlorn ar.d foot
sore.—Bake v.- field Californlan.
They Can See More
The Christian Endeavor convention
has been the means of bringing more
people- to California than anything that
has occurred since ISS6-7; ar.d the best
of it Is that thfti'2 who have come later
can sec more t" induce them to remain
than did many of their predecessors.—
Long Beach Breaker.
Astonishing but Necessary
The senate has pased a resolution di
recting Secretary Alger to proceed with
Hid work on Snn Pedro harbor for which
congress has made an appropriation. It
is astonishing that any action of the sort
taken by the senate should be required.
—Riverside Enterprise.
Eat Ripe Fruit
You need not be afraid of eating ripe
California fruit. Eat all you want of It.
Some people think ripe fruit causes dis
orders of the stomach and bowels. Not
so. The trouble Is that the fruit is either
unripe or too ripe.—Pasadena News.
Making Good Headway
If Alaska Is working up a boom to se
cure a United States senator or two. It
must be admitted that It It making most
excellent headway at it. The first thing
necessary Is population.—San Diego Sun.
Almost Eeyond Belief
It Is almost beyond belief that good
citizens can be prevailed upon to lend
their aid in turning loose upon society
the very worst of criminals. But sO It
frequently is.— Viealia Times.
A PIONEER JUBILEE
TO COMMENCE AT SALT LAKE
TODAY
Of the Two Thousand Pioneers of
1847, Six Hundred and Fifty
Will Parade
SALT LAKE, Utah. July 19.-The pioneer
jubilee will he ushered In tomorrow morn
ing, and for the remainder of the week will
be witnessed one of the greatest celebra
tions ever seen in this intermountaln coun
try.
Visitors have been pouring into the city
all day and tonight the streets are crowded
with people.
The Oregon Short Line railway brought
in crowded trains from the southern part
of the state during the past twenty-one
hours, and the same road ran special
trains from the north to accommodate the
large traffic coming from Idaho and Mon
tana points. Other roads centering here
have also been carrying heavy trains and
by tomorrow morning It is expected that
the number of people in this city will ex
ceed anything ever known in Its history.
All the buildings along the principal
streets have been richly decorated in many
colors.
Tonight Main street from the Temple
to Third street Is almost a solid blaze of
electric lights, hung in beautiful design
from one side of the street to the other.
An extensive program has been arranged
for the four days' entertainment.
Tile exercises for tomorrow begin with a
national salute at sunrise by the survivors
of the Nauvoo Legion.
At 8 oclock a salute will be given by Bat
tery A, National Guard of Utah.
At nine oclock the pioneers will assemble
In Old Fort square and march to Main and
South Temple streets, where the monu
ment in honor of Brlghnm Young and the
pioneers will be unveiled.
Of the 2000 pioneers who entered Salt
Lake valley In 1847 there are only six hun
dred and fifty survivors. The»e survivors
have each been presented with a gold
badge valued at $10, the work of Tiffany &
Co.. New York. The badge presents typi
cal figures in the early history of Utah and
including an accurate medallion portrait of
President Brlgham Young.
The Bicycle's Moral Influence
The wheel is affording a wholesome
outlet for energies that would otherwise
be wasted In- frivolity or actual dissipa
tion, and in elevating the physical is
also raising the moral tone of the youth
of our land. The half-grown boy who
formeily thought it manly to fuddle hi?
brain with liquor or weaken his heart
with tobacco hECS- changed his Ideal to
the not very lofty but certainly more
Innocent one of maintaining a reputa
tion for speed or endurance, and while
in training he proudly forgoes badi hab
its that he would be ashamed to abandon
as a mere matter of principle. Tr,3 use
of strong liquors among the class of
young men from whom cyclists are
largely drawn Is on the wane, and ever,
"soft drinks" are used with increasing
discretion.
All of this means not that the bicycle
is to be used by everybody, nor that it
is to be the physical and moral salva
tion of the age, but that It Is aiding in
a tangible manner in the solution of
