IaBrovlBg lasiaew Outlook.
The bank clearings continue as re-
cently pointed out in the Manufactur-
ers' .Record to show a steady advance
in business matters in the South.
There are signs here and there of gen-
eral improvement throughout the
country; and in the middle Western
states the clearings for the week end
ing July s8 were 3 9 per cent larger
than 'for the corresponding week of
last year bit in the southern states
the gam was 19.6 per cent For the
month of July as reported by the
Commercial and financial Chronicle
there was a decrease m the ' entire
country of 5.9 per cent as compared
with July or 1893." The"New England
states showed a decrease of 7 per cent
the middle Western Slates 4.2 per
cent the Pacific States 9. r per cent
other Western Slates an increase of
of 3 percent while the increase in
the South was 8.5 per cent. The
Chronicle a very conservative author
ity says: "The indications of an im-
provementin business are noticeable
in a great many different ways. y The
railroads report in most cases a larger
traffic movement than for a long .time

Most encouraging of all. however is
I the decided evidence of improvement

ports to the Manufacturers' Record
from all parts of the South .indicate
good prospects for unusually large
crops. The South will probably have
the largest cereal crops ever raised in
that section which will help to counter-
balance the low price of cotton.

DEBS OK THE 8TASD.
The President of the American Sail-
way TJnioB Testifies Before the
Investigation CoraraiMoa.
Chicago Aug. 20. By far the lar-
gest audience which has yet been in
attendance upon the strike commission
sessions was present today attracted
by the appearance as a witness of
President E. V. Debs of the American
railwayunion The court room was
crowded from the bench to the door
ways when President Debs took the
witness chair.
"Now tell us in your own way Mr.
Debs" ' said Comniissioner Wright
"what you know of the Pullman strike
arid its results."
Leaning forward in his seat the tall
leader of the great strike began in a
low clear voice a recital which gradu
ally became more earnest and forcible
as he proceeded until it developed in
to almost an oration. He told of
having received word that a strike in
Pullman was imminent- and of his
coming to. Chicago tq investigate.
"I found' he said "that the men
were working for the Pullman company
at wages upon which they could not
live. I found that salarieshad been
cut time and again until skilled me-
chanics were working their lives away
for wage? not sufficient for a common
laborer; that the town of Pullman with
its shops its houses and its stores was
so schemed that evey penny the work.
ingmen made found its" way back into
the company's coffers. In fact I found
the workingmen of Pullman in a piti-
able condition and determined to do all
in ray power as president of the Amer-
ican Railway union to improve their
condition.
"The strike followed ordered by the
men themselves. Then came the boy-
cbt ordered by duly elected delegates
to our convention and then followed
the railroad strikes odered hv th
various local unions each of which
had grievances of its own."
Mr. Debs then told oi the sirft-. tiU
account differing but little from that Of
we American Railway union officials
who had preceded him on the witness
stand.
- FMtS
"Would the railroad strikes have
trouble!!" isked Commissioner WrJebt
"No; the Pullman strike was the
prime cause We desired to stoD Pull-
man's cars and shut off his income
thus forcing him to arbitration But
the railroad men had grievances of
their own The Genera! .Managers1
association had been organized with
the avowed intention of giving assis.
tanceto railroads in labor troubles.
The evident act was to drive organized
labor from exisjaace. Np sooner Was
this association formed than a syste-
matic reduction of railroad wages all
over the country begin. The cuts
were made on one road at a time and
in one department at a time but the
systematic retjuiarity with which they
appeared was sufficiently significant
'The men were ready to strike and
felt that they had cause but the trouble
would not have come when it did had
it riot betn for the Piilfmnn maltor.
The time was ynprophious as bui.
pew was uepresseu and money was
scarce. I did Hot older the strike. I
had not the power. The men Oki
that themselves. But I do not wk to
shirk my respoM&Wty aad awi witting
to wty thai I hcattlly concurred th antl
approved of the acts token by the men.
UA to viblerice. I always condemned
ft. I kve Writen and spoken against
it beltevmg arid knowing that a strike
cofctotbe won by- violence As to
telegrams sent from our office coun
selling; violehcej I know nothing of any
such epistles.''
Whatabout tho "buy a gun tele-
gram!" asked Comtiissloncr Kcrnan.
The telegram was sent by a pri
vate secretary to A friend in Butte
and was merely a playful expression.
It. was sent as such and was so under
stood."
Mr. Debs then. said that within five
days after the strikp was declared the
union had the railroads beaten. They
were paralyzed lie said but just at
that time injunctions were sent broad-
cast and shortly afterward the officials
of the American Railway Union were
arrested for contempt of' court. That
beat us. It was not the railroads or
the army but the power of the United
States courts that beat us.
' About this time a thing occured
which I desire to mention. Gen
Miles came to Chicago called on the
General Managers' association and
the next day was quoted in an inter
view as saying that he had broken the
backbone' of the strike. Now I con.
sider that call of Gen. Miles as vul-
garity out of glace. He had no more
right to consult with the General Man-
agers association than he had to con-
sult with the .raetf of. our union. I
might say too. that it seems strange
that all our letters and telegrams were
made public property while not a line
of the railroads' correspondence was
published.
If it bad been rieccessary I think we
could prove that the general managers
at one qf their secret meetings declared
they would stamp the American Rail-
way union out of existence."
In reply 1o aquestiori Mr. Debs said
mat tne-union had taken every possi-
ble means to prevent rioting and Idis-
order "We objected to thepresence.of Ted-
era! troops but not to state troops and
the police. If I remember rightly no
serious outbreak occured until the fed.
era! troops. arrived as their presence
inflamed the men."
The witness then told of the
trouble with the railroad brotherhoods
"The brotherhoods have outlived
their usefulness'' he said; "and for that
reason I left the firemen's organiza-
tion. They were I fear jealous ol the
American Railway union and helped
iu ucicm us. x nere is now a move
ment on foot to form a grand and uni
ted labor organization. Within three
days a proposition will be submitted
to the other railroad orders whereby
an present otneers of the American
Railway union and other orders shall
resign with no possibility of election to
office. The principal cause of the
strike thus being removed an organi-
zation will be effected if the brother
hoods will consent whtch-shall include
all railroad employes."
The commissioners have notified
George M. Pullman to appear and tes-
tify and. will also' calffor'several mem-
bers of the.General Managers' associa-
lion. The date for Mr. Mr. Pullman's
.testimonv has not yet been set but It
is expected that he will appear. Tues-
day or Wednesday."OtlB TIMK HAS COSDE."

clever bit of intrigue They gave out
that they were gbing to march to Asan

Chinese believe they had left the settle-

straight up to the fortifications attack-

clean sweep of everything in the course
of five hours fighting The Chinese
were unprepared and for the sake of
