The report says In another place : "Th
order ot the Knights of Labor , with an estl
mated membership of from 150,000 to 17G,00 (
has always advocated the solidification c
labor. " The history of railway labor organize
tlona of the last twenty years Is large !
mada up of what the report says was neve
attempted. Again and again have effort
been made to consolidate , federate or at
serb various existing orders Into one. Agal
and acaln in strikes have the dtffercn
classes of labor on the same road and th
feama classes of labor on different road
stood together. Acaln and again has th
olllod , labor ot several companies been cnllc
on to enforce the demand of one class c
labor against ono company. The Ignoranc
of this fact and of the further fact that I
waa the repeated expense which finally drov
iho railways reluctantly to unite also In sell
idcfonso Is , to any one at all familiar wit
the history of labor , almost Incomprehens
'ble. ' The mlsstatements are made the-Tnor
, gross by the Importance which the commli
slon seems to attach to Its assertion.
' QUESTIONS THE FIGURES.
The report , speaking of the Pullman phas
of the trouble , says : "The cut In wagt
during this period averaged about 25 IK
cent. " This is not true. The amount (
the redaction was placed In evidence befoi
the commission In great detail and with ei
actltude. The average reduction In wag !
iXor Journeymen and mechanics was 22 8-1
per cent , and the average reduction for a
Other shop employes was ll 4 per cent. Tl
vcrago reduction for all shop employes wt
' 19 per cent.
Again the report says : "Under the coi
tracts between the railway companies ar
the Pullman company the railroads ha\
paid since 1887 2 cents a mile for each ml
run by Ptillir.au cars. " This Is not a fac
nor from the ono form of "standard" coi
tract placed in evidence before the commt
slon was It justified In concluding It to be
fact. The contract specifically provides f <
exception ! ! to this rate of payment , whtc
enter BO larcely Into the aggregate buslne *
dJ the company with the railways as I
totally falsify the generalization which
made.
On page 368 the report says ; "Throughoi
the strike the strife was simply over ham
ling Pullman cars , the men belns retidy
do their duty otherwise1 This Is not on
untrue , but Is a radical and gtosa mlsrepr
sentitlon of the entire circumstances ot tl
strike. It Is only necessary to point o
that the strike extended among other roai
to the Michigan Central , Lake Shore
Michigan Southern and Wubash companle
on fyhlch too Pullman cars were In operatlo
Tha statement quoted shows an amazing at
almost Incomprehensible misunderstandli
Of the essential elements. of the strike.
Further on the report says In reference
the Pullman tenants : "As the bank Is re ;
collector It presses for the rent and Is atdi
in collecting It by a knowledge on the pa
of the tenant that by arrears he may lo
his job. "
On what * was this "knowledge" basei
Durlnc all the years there has never bci
an employe who "lost his job" for the no
payment ot rents , and the employes hi
knowledge of It. How Is the stateme
reconcilable with the very next scntenc
"At the time of the strike $70,000 of u
paid rent had accumulated" and the debto
Mill were In possession of their jobs.
VIOLENCE AT PULLMAN.
Further the report says : "It Is In e\
denes and uncontradlcted that no vlolon
or destruction of property by strikers
sympathizers took place at Pullman and th
until July 3 no extraordinary protectli
was had from the police or military again
oven anticipated disorders. "
It was not until July 4 that the service
the military waa railed for oven In Chlca ,
Itsclt. And the commission omits to mo
tlon .the "extraordinary protection" of t !
221 guards of the Pullman company , w'
were In service before the end of June , at
who ( the danger of anticipated dlsord
being ecrlous ) were Increased to 250 In t

difficulty than in protecting from vlolen
those who wished to resume work at Pu
man. Some or all ot these acts were clear
In evidence before your commission.
Ijater the report says : "There Is no ei
denco before the commission that the office
ot the American Railway union at any tlr
participated or advised Intimidation , vl
lonco or destruction of property. " The ei
dcncor before the commission not only I

Ju > t Mntcrlntlrn.
CHICAGO , Nov. 13. The first meeting ol
the Western Freight association since March
was held today. It was supposed that some
charges ot rate cutting would bo made , but
nothing of the kind came up , and the meet
ing transacted nothing but routine business ,
The report from the cast that the At-
clilson and Northern Pacific hove agreed on
the dlrterences which have kept transconti
nental rate * In a state of demoralization foi
so long will have a great effect In bringing
the Transcontinental Passenger association
to the front again. The Southern Pacific
has for some time been anxious that anothei
attempt should bo made to revive this asso
ciation , and now that the chief obstacle li
out ol the way there Is a chance of success
It Is also among the possibilities thai
the agreement of those two lines
will result in an effort to revive
the agreement of the Western Passcngei
Association , which la at the present time It
a bad way. The reason the Atchlson with
drew from the association was because thi
association lines would not stand with It it
its fight against the Southern Pacific , as | i
believed they would do. There Is a genera
opinion , however , founded on nothing It
particular , that the present management o
the Atchlson Is rather favorable to the roat
being a member of the Western Passengei
association , and now that Its troubles will
the Southern Pacific have been arranged i
will become a party to the revision of thi
association agreement. There Is nothlnf
definite behind this statement , as the official !
ot the Atchlson say they are not in a posltloi
to have any views on the matter. *

The decision which Justice nrewcr handet
own Monday In the maximum rnto cast
cems to give general satisfaction to rail
oad attorneys In this section of the foot
tool , judging from the laudatory remark !
icard from them , It Is , however , a fact tha
number of them expected Judge Brewer ti
told the act unconstitutional on account o :
he alleged Irregularities surrounding

ntes established by the bill were exccsslvi
nd are congratulating the judge In so find
ng.
ng.A
A well known attorney in the employ o
ne of the leading railroads stated yester
ay that the legislature would probably havi
o take Into consideration the demand of tli
> oople for freight regulation and though
he best way to reach such a regulation wa
hrough a board of railroad commissioner :
ashloned after the Iowa or Kansas commls
Ions.
The present commission he denominated :
useless body , and he wants to see the mei
low holding the office either given large
powers or cse ! make way for men who wouli
lo something toward satisfying the conserva
tvo demands of the people ot the state.
"I speak thus boldly because I believe th
> eopo ! have certain rights which the rail
roads are bound to respect. The maxlmuii
rate law enacted by the last legislature wa
clearly out of all proportion and the dls
crimination In favor of the Ilock Island am
Missouri Pacific was also out of all reasor
n view of the strong position the roads oc
cupy In the western country. I am oppossi
o any maximum rate agitation at the com
ng session ot the legislature , but would Ilk
o see a railroad commission created tha
vould have power to adjust grievances th
mbllc may have against railroads on 'accoun '
if discriminations. This Idea will probabl
ie combatted by my brethren , but none wll
dare say that there are not grounds for
more equitable adjustment of rates'In Ne

As teen as all preparations for the proces

the Imperial train re-entered the railroad sta

In wa.tlntf , ami was conveyed to the cathe
dral through the densely crowded streets ,
guarded by thousands of troops.
Every feat of ground along the route was
occupied with spectators. The grr-atcsl
masses of people were gathered lns front ol
the Kasan , St. Isaac's and other churches , In
front of which , previous to the starting ol
the procession , the clergy stood In their
state robes. Three salvos of artillery an
nounced the arrival ot the procession at ex
actly 11 o'clock. The route of the procession
followed the Neu Prospect , past the cathe

and through the Bourse square ,
reorosslng the river at the Mettenakl bridge ,
through Zoological Garden street , along the
Alexander Prospect , over the Novo Kron-
versky bridge , and then under the gate ol
St. Peter the droat to the. St. Peter and St ,

tachments of cavalry. Then came fifty-one
standards , each escorted by officers. Thi

perlol arms. Next came the horse ot tlu
dead czar and a man-at-arms In gilt arrnoi
holding the sword of state and mounted upor
a splendidly caparisoned charger , led by tw (
grooms In the state livery. Following thli
horseman came a second man-at-arms Ir
black armor , carrying a naked sword. Hi
preceded a number of high officials who bori
n mourning standard of black silk. Behlnc
the standard was a retinue of officials bearlnj
the standard of the various Russian provinces
The remainder of the procession , until the one
of the Twelfth section , was composed o
high Imperial and provincial functionaries
with their staffs of office and numbers ol
other officers bearing different banners. Thi
fear of the twelfth section was brought Uf
by another detachment of ofilclals , who bori
on velvet cushions the late czar's medals
orders and the Imperial Insignia. The lattei
were carried by high officers ot state , win
Were surrounded by attendants' .
The thirteenth and most important scctloi
of the proccssi6n , nnd the one for whlcl
everybody was waiting with eager expectancy
was headed by the choirs of the cathedral o
St. Isaac nnd of the convent of St. Alexan

clergy , bearing lighted candles , and behlm
came the czar's confessor , Father Yanlcheff

covered with blackl cloth , with silver bands
The spokes of the wheels were also silvered
Columns stoodlat.the corners and from then
were suspended .n-magnificent baldachin. A
the foot each of'bach ' column on the platforn
there stood a fr&nof-al. The coffin rested oi
a bier coveredt-Wltlfi black velvet. Over th
coffin there wtfti a. great silver pall , borderei
with gold. Behind the hearse came th
czar and the Imperial household. They wer
followed by th.e-kjng ; of Greece and by-th
prince of Wol ? ? , , Then came aIong line p
grand dukes and princes , roltowed by thei
various mllttafof Suites. After the latte
marched a detachment of grenadiers , and foi

contained all of the other royal and UUci
ladles who had Journeyed from Llvadla wit ]
the body of Alexander III.
After the carriages came thousands o
"
troops "of all armies , who brought up the rea
ot the procession. The multitudes a Ion
the route bowed reverently , crossing them
( selves. The draped gas lamps along th
route shed a sickly light , which , combine
with the mist In which the city was cnvel
oped , enhanced the depressing character a
the spectacle. Prior to the arrival of th
body at the cathedral a short service wa
held there In the presence ot the czar , th
diplomats and many ot the Russian nobility
The hearse arrived at the cathedral a fe\
minutes past 2 o'clock. Four ot the chle
pall bearers removed the pall. The cza

foreign princes then carried the coftln Int

NEW YOUK , Nov. 13. The second nlght'i
jllllard tourney between Jacob Schaeffcr am'
Frank C. Ives at the Madison Square con'
cert hall drew a good crowd. The good play *
ng ot Schaeffcr on Monday made him I
'avorlti' , although his opponent made thi
argest average and the greatest number o
runs. Schacffer left the Ivories In gooi
position on the previous evening , after hti
run of 129 , and opened tonight with a run o
Lhlrty , He missed on an open shot , am
Ivos failed on the same ahot , The "Wizard1
: hen managed to score ono and Ives got thi
jails together and worked them all arounc
the- table , making some pretty masse shots
When he reached the 100 mark he had tin
balls In the center of the table. He kep
up the run to 154 , when ho failed on a drav
shot Inside the line. The score stood : Ives
722 ; Schaeffcr , 032. After some unproduc
live playing on both sides the balls were It
position right In the corner and Ives , nurs
Ing , made , a phenomenal run. When hi
reached his old score of 151 there was low
applause. Ho continued to juggle the Ivorle :
and the balls were still In good position whet
he reached the 200 mark. Ho crept up ti
223 , and then missed a masse. Up to thli
time Sclmeffer had only forty-four points
his highest run being , at the opening. Thli
made the score : Ives , 1,014 ; Schacffer , CIS
The "Wizard ran up fifteen points and mlssei
a difficult rail masse. Ives started with i
cross shot and succeeded , but broke the balls
and on the third shot crossed the table threi
times before ho kissed for a point. Thli
left the balls In good position and ho con
tlnued the run to fifty-four , when ho mlssei
ah open shot. Sohacffer retrieved his bai
work and made a run of 124. Ills 123d she
Was a very pretty draw , which earned ap
[ ilause. He failed on a similar shot , am
Ives also missed. Schaeffer tried again , bu
only Wade two , leaving the balls togethe :
at the end of the table. Ives had to be sat
Isfled with a run of ten , and Schaeffer wen
In and ran forty-seven. Ives had only 12 !
to run out his score of 1,200. This ho did Ii
an easy manner , keeping the balls In closi

it was necessary. Ives' average for thi

CITY
Matter nt Hotter Pirn Protection Occupies
the Attention nf Ihn Itody.
A number of leading business men wera
present at the city council meeting last
night to urge the council to toke some Im
mediate action lo provide better fire protec
tion for the property Interests of the c.ty.
Among them were : George E. Tlbbs of M.
II. Smith & Co. ; Major Wllcox of Browning ,
King & Co. ; John G. Brady of the McCord-
Brady company ; Euclid Martin and Adolph
Meyer. The subject of water pressure1 came
up In connection with a communication from
the Hoard of Fire and Police Commissioner !
requesting the city attorney , the city cnglneci
nnd the council committees on finance and
fire and water to meet the board at 4:3C :
o'clock this afternoon to discuss the existing
emergency and determine what measures II
would be advisable to adopt.
On motion of Mr. Burklcy the rules wen
suspended and the visitors wcro allowed the
privilege ot the floor. Mr. Martin said thai
the members of his committee did not pre
sume to say where the difficulty was , bul
they thought that their Interests should b <
protected. They believed that an emergency
existed which demanded an Immediate in
vestigation and some decided action , and
they asked that a ( special committee be np >
pointed to find out where the trouble lay anil
to devise some remedy by which the business
property of the city could bo tnoro ade
quately protected.
Hatcall Improved the occasion to make t
speech , In which ho nought to lay the blame
at the doors of the fire andi police board. He
assorted that there was plenty of water , thai
the board had declared that It could control
any fires If It had two additional engines , bul
now that It had the engines It claimed to be
as badly off as ever.
Wheeler said that from the standpoint ol
an Insurance man there was no lack ol
water , but there was a lack ot efficiency In
the fire department. It was a well knowr
fact that both engines were disabled at thi
tlmo the Morse-Coo fire broke out. He was
In favor of an Investigation , but thought the
blame should be laid where It belonged. The
Insurance companies could not bo blamed foi
advancing rates when the best bu'.ldlngs Ir
the city were being totally destroyed every
time a flrc broke out.
On motion a special committee of five was
appointed , with full power to make all neces
sary Investigations. All the communication
on the subject were referred to this com
mittee , with Instruct.ons to attend the moot
ing of the fire and police board thla after
noon. The committee consists of Burklcy ,
Jacobsen , Wheeler , Lemly and Hascall.
A petition from the Chicago Lumber com
pany nnd others , representing nearly all the
leading business firms of the city , urged th
council lo take lome action to effect an Im
provement in the fire fighting facilities ol
the city. This was also referred to the spe
cial committee.
A communication from Building Inspectoi
Deverell stated that public dances were giver
In halls all over the city , some of which were
not safe for a large crowd. He recom
mended that all bulld/lngs / used for this purpose -
pose be compelled to take out licenses , and
that -ordinance be passed which would
give the building Inspector the power to In
spect and regulate such halls. This was re
ferred to the committee on public property
and buildings , with Instructions to bring In
"such amendments to the present ordinance
as wouU carry out the recommendations.
Specht manufactured a little political
thunder in the shape of a resolution that all
the coal remaining In the election booth !
south of Dodge street be given to the home
for fallen women , and In those north ol
Dodge street to the Associated Charities ,
The resolution was referred , as It was stated
that It was rossiblo that a special election
might be > called , and It was not necessary
to take any action at present.
A communication from W. N. Nason ask
ing the mayor and council to take some
measures to aid In the 'relief ' of settlers In
the drouth stricken districts ot the state was
referred for consideration.
S. D. Mercer notified the council * that he
should refuse-'to pay any special taxes le.vleil
on account of the Cumlng street sewer , on
the ground that the tewer had not been con
structed according to tha original plans. City
Engineer Rosewater explained that the only
deviation from the plans was In changing
the line of the sewer so as not to conflict
with the water mains. A motion to lay the
communication on the table was lost , and it
was referred to the Board of Public Works ,
with the city engineer and the city attorney.
The appointment of the following city
weighers was submitted by the mayor and
approved : Charles Krug , Thirteenth and
Vinton streets ; Erastus N. Blackmail , Four
teenth and Websterj David Brown , Twenty-
first and Cumlng ; John Johnson , Twenty-
first nnd Cumlng , and M. J. DeGroft , 610
South Ninth street.
The city electrician was authprlzed nt hli
own request to exchange n compoJto balance
for an anometer. The former Instrument
was not In use at present , while the de
partment was in neci ot a reliable anometer.
The comptroller was also authorized to pur
chase a number of small articles for the
electrical department at an expense of $45.
A request from the park commissioners
that two election booths be moved to Hans-
coin park to be used by skaters during the
winter was referred.
On motion nf Saunders the comptroller
was Instructed to advertise for bids for the
city advertising , printing and minor sup
plies. The comptroller was also Instructed
to advertise for bids for street 1 glitlng with
gas for the term of three -years from Jan
uary 1 , 1895.
The report of the Board of Equalization on
the city assessment roll for 1895 was aJopted ,
An ordinance was Introduced and laid over
under the rules which prohibits the paint
ing ct signs on any bulUIng , fence , curb or
pavement In the city without the permission
of the owner. The violation of the provisions
ot the ordinance. Is made a misdemeanor
punishable by a fine of not more than $100.
Ordinances were passed as follows : General
appropriation ordinance ; changing curb lines
of Thirty-fifth avenue from Half Howard tc
Leavenworth streets , and Nineteenth street
from Ohio to Locust strecls ; amending rules
of Board of Health reUtlve to cesspools.
