BOYCOTT OF PULLMAN CARS BEGINS.

Switchmen, Switch tender* and Tower Men at Chicago Quit Work st Midnight— Trains Hlockcd Until Released by the Follce.

AI.L TRAFFIC MAY BK PARAI.YZED. CHICAGO, June 27.—At 1 o'olook thU morning the officials of the Illinois Central railroad gave out the Information that their lino from Chioago to Now Orleans had been tied up by the secession of every switchman In their employ. All tho towermen, switchtenders and switching engino crews in Chicago and suburbs struck at midnight. The report was also given out that tho Western Indiana road would be tied up this morning. The latter road furnishes terminal facilities to the Chicago A Eastern Illinois, the Monon, the Wabash, the Erie, the Grand Trunk from Forty-seventh street, and tho Santa Pe in the terminal yards. The Wabash road, however, does not use Pullman cars. The St. Charles Air Line passes over the Western Indiana tracks, and the cessation of the Illinois Central's western train service may be the result. The Michigan Central, Big Four and Chicago & West Michigan run Into Chicago on the Illinois Central traoks.

Tho main suburban service of tho road was operated up to midnight, and it was understood at that time that President Debs, of the American Railway union, had given instructions that the strike should not be extended to the suburban servico at present. Freight Bervlco in tho yards had ceased entirely and what switches were being thrown were operated by officials. Tho express for (Sioux City at 11:35 o'clock loft without any trouble over the Air Line. It was Hie expectation of the officials that tho men remaining in train service would strike to-day, as that was the common ivport.

I'ho Hoycott Hcgrlns.

The boycott against the cars of the Pullman company went into effect In Chicago Tuesdaj' noon, and was followed, at a few minutes after 7 o'olook in the evening, by an order for a strike on tho part of tho switchmen employed in tho terminal yards of the Illinois Central, which means from Kensington to Randolph street in the city. They wero followed by the switolitenders| and at midnight were joined by the switch tower operators. This was a surprise to tho officials of the road, but it was a well-planned move on the part of Debs, Howard and the, other leaders of the anti-Pullman war. They secretly organized these men and resolved to make a test of their strength against the road on which they are strongest and best organized.

When the switchmen and tenders went out a mob which soon grow from 500 to 'J,000 switchmen, Pullman strikers and sympathizers, gathered at Grand Crossing and stopped all Illinois Central trains but one that attempted to pass. They also stopped the Pennsylvania trains. At 10 o'clock there were nine trains of the former road and six of the latter blockading the tracks cnnterlng at Grand Crossing. The switchmen say they have struck in sympathy with the Pullman strikers an 1 in accordance with the plans of the American Railway union.

Determined Work of a Mob.

The mob began to gather at Grand Crossing at 7 o'clock and by 8 o'clock became strong enough to interrupt traffic. No discrimination was shown in the operations of the strikers. Suburban trains, passenger trains, freight trains, everything, whether It carried a Pullman or not, was halted by tho mob. One Illinois suburban train managed to pull through early in the evening, but after that traffic was completely stopped. Another attempt was made to get an Illinois Central train through, but a man in tho crowd threw himself down on the rails in front of the engine and tho engineer refused to move the train.

Tho ovents of tiie afternoon were few, being oonflned to preparations on the part of tho American Railway union for the carrying out of the boycott, and also of developing the plan for having tho first attack made upon the Illinois Central, owing, as was stated by officials of the union, to the fact that the Central hud, even boforo the boycott was on, ordered couplings of the Pullman cam made secure with large chains, which were themselves padlocked. This was taken by the union as an act of defiance and an open avowal of cooperation with the Pullman interests.

Stopped Two Fait Mall Trains.

The midnight fast-mail train on the Michigan Central going out and the incoming fast mail on the Illinois Central wore the first trains to feel the effects of tho strike of the terminal men. They were both blocked at the Forty-third street tower .shortly after midnight. One of Chief Engineer Wallace's assistants with the depot master and one or two minor officials succeeded In throwing the interlocking switches by hand, releasing tho trains at 1:80 o'clook this morning. The same men then begun to make up the fast Chicago-New Orleans mail.

President Debt Talks.

President Debs said Tuesday he was perfectly satisfied with the situation and that telegrams ho had received from ft l&rffe number of places indicated that the boycott would be a success. lie continued: "I wish to say that it Is not tho policy of tb« American Railway union to discommode the public to any greater oxtent than is absolutely necessary. It is for this reason that we let Tuesday practically go by default and have decided to begin active operations to-day. The situation Is this: The order to boy cott the oars of the Pullman company wont into effect at 12 o'clock. Prior to thut time tho companies had made up all of their trains for the day, and they had

stood on the traoks long enough to All up with people. If we had started out with those curs and afterward sidotrooked them some place we would have been guilty of an unwarrantable act toward the people on the cars and besides would have lost the friendship of many others. Accordingly we gave orders for alJ trains to go through that were made up priot to 18 o'clock, and those orders have been carried out. "To-day we expeot that there will be a different oondltlon of affairs. The trains will not be made up, and when they are no Pullman ears will be attached to them. We do not expect to make a general tie-up of the cars ol tie Pullman company unless suoh a move shal) become abao'uV3ly necessary. If we oan win by tlelng up three or four big trunk linos we will do so."

Dispatches from many cities Indicate that the same policy outlined in the above interview with President Debs prevailed on Tuesday, and that the boycott will actually be^ln to-day.

MET AT DENVER.

Annual Convention of the Ropnbltcan tlonal League.

DKSVKJI, Col., June 87.—The seventh annual convention of the National Republican league was oalled to order at 10 a. m. The Broadway theater was handsomely decorated for the occasion with tho Stars and Stripes and a mass of foliage and growing flowers and was filled to overflowing with 1,600 delegates and representative republicans from every state In the union. The address of President Tracy was enthusiastically received.

Tho roll call followed Immediately after the president's address and showed forty states and territories represented—the largest meeting in the history of tho organization. Some of the delegations were very large. Before adjournment a motion was adopted that the president and secretary be authorized to prepare and transmit to Mme. Carnot and the republic of France the sense of the league on the assassination of President Carnot. The motion was carried without a dissenting vote.

At the afternoon session resolutions favoring woman suffrage, free coinage, a bimetallic standard and the admission of New Mexico as a state were referred to the oommlttee on resolutions. A letter from Senator Don Cameron, strongly in favor of silver, was read and received three cheers. The letter was referred to the same committee. The committee on location decided to reoommend that the next convention be held in Des Moines, la. The final vote was: Dos Moines, 15 Minneapolis, 12.

The committee on resolutions, the members of which are appointed by tho Btatos, held a caucus which developed a strong majority in favor of frowning down all reference to free coinage of silver at 10 to 1 and woman suffrage. The committee, BO far as It is made up, and It is nearly complete, Is considered "safe and conservative," which means that it will practically reiterate tho declarations of the Minneapolis platform, with poseibly something concerning the evils of populism. Nevertheless it is the intention of delegations from silver states to make a fight in tho convention for a declaration In favor of free coinage.

CLOSELY EXAMINED BY THE JUDGE,

le Cunningly Answers Many Question*, Hut Kvatlos All Which Would Ilo Injurious to Ills Chances—Judge Payne's IMportant Announcement. /V-

AN' ASSASSIN ON THE RACK. CniCAGO, Juno 27.—Patrick

Eugene

Prendorgast was a witness In his own behalf In Judge Payne's oourt Tuesday morning, where his sanity Is being tested. When oourt opened Prenderpast began tho day with a scene. He insisted on occupying the bailiff's chnir, against the wishes of that officer, and frequently attempted to make speeches whioh were not on tho programme. "I am hero representing a church," he said, an he rose to his feet. "I stand here to demand my constitutional rights and I will be heard."

Judge Payne tried several times to stop Prendergast In his harangue, but was unable to do so. The judge then ordered his removal from the oourtrooin and then at the suggestion of Mr. Trude the "judge permitted him to finish his remarks and remain. Prendergast then took the stand and was put through an examination which showed him to be an adept at avoiding compromising questions. While somo of his answers wore given incoherently he showed a quick perception which surprised the hearers and somo of his replies were sufficiently sarcastio to provoko considerable comment among the spectators.

Don't Relieve 111 Capital Punishment.

Among the questions Judge Payne a.iked tho following: "What about the punishment Inflicted ou rain?" "The punishment was right. The punishment (or murder wuts always right* 1 do not believe in cuplt.al panlshinent." "What kind of punishment should civilization inflict for murderl"' "A

guilty conscience and to be deprived of liberty---that Is punishment." "Do you flud being deprived of your liberty punishment?" "All men feel that they are entitled to justloe. I have been punished by being in Jailunjustly."

Prendergast said, with reference to the murder of Mr. Harrison, that he did not shoot him with malice, but because It was necessary for the public welfare that ho should be removed. Ho continued: "The jury is sitting here, and, with these counsel that aro assuming to represent me. are contemplating judicial murder. There would be no difference between taking my life and cold-blooded, deliberate murder." He refused to answer when asked if ho understood that he was on trial to ascertain liis sanity. He said, finally, that he did not think he was Insane.

Knew When to We Silent.

The most striking thing about his testimony was his shrewd and persistent avoidance of incriminating state ments. He would sometimes smile the best he could when expatiating on sin gle-tax, track elevation and ward politics. But when questions were fired at hini about his pistol and abont the shooting of Mayor Harrison he said he would not answer them, because tho courtroom was no place to discuss such matters, because the judge's inotlveB In asking the questions were not honor able, and because his constitutional rights were being invaded.

A Pitiable Object.

Prendergast's physical appearance while on tho witness stand was pitiable in the extreme. He was the em bodlment of weakness, lassitude, weariness, nervousness and disgust. His hands and feet were in perpetual motion. He shifted his position In the chair constantly. Ills eyes assumed a dozen unnatural and repulsive phases. His lower jaw sagged and his head lolled first one way and then another. His voice was almost inaudible, and at times he appeared for a whole minute absentminded and almost unoonsdous

Stickles for Kits Illghts.

Prendergast gave another little performance later in the day. When he was brought into tho courtroom after recess he started out to make another speech on his constitutional rights, but Judge Payne said: "O, no, Mr. Prendergast, you have had your say. Take him out, bailiffs take him out." "Very well," he said, "if I cau't have my constitutional rights here I don't want to stay here." Tho bailiffs then took him baok into the jail, where he staid for the rest of the day. When he had disappeared his attorneys spent the afternoon in examining as witnesses to his Insanity Dr. Sanger Brown, Dr. Louis R. Head and Dr. Ephraim Ingalls.

Judge Payne Draws a Line.

Judge Payne rendered a decision Tuesday afternoon whioh will have an Important bearing on tho Insanity Inquiry. Tho confines of the inquiry have been disputed for some time. While Mr. Harrow was examining Dr. Loulr, 'R. Head he asked how long in the doctor's opinion Prendergast had boon lnsaue. This raised the vital question. Objections being made by the state Judge Payne said: "I havo been -vaitlug ior this point to be ralued. I shall Instruct the Jury that If the prisoner's condition Is the same as it was on February 24 last, then It will have to be bound by the verdict rendered by the first jury. As I see It now, it must bo proved thut Prendergast became Insane since judgment was pronounoed upon him. No matter If he Is proved Insane at present, It must be shown that he has become so since February 24. Otherwise w« 6hould have to disregard the verdict of the court In the first case, which suld that he was •aue."

The casket was at once placed In an ordinary hearse and driven to the palace of the Elyseo, followed by five oarriages containing the widow and her sons and the members of the president's military household. The widow was so overcome with emotion when the casket was placed in the mortuury chapel that she was oompelled to retire to a private room," whero her sons did their utmost to console her.

Premier Dupuy presided at a cabinet council, called to determine upon the arrangements for the funeral of the late president. The body is now guarded by four cadets from the military school of St. Cyr. It will soon be placed upon a catafalque In the courtyard of the Elysee, there to lie in state until Sunday, when it will be escorted with much ceremony to the Pantheon and placed beside the remains of the late president's grandfather, Lazare Carnot.

Orlef of the Widow.

Mine. Carnot has not touched food since Sunday night, but she was able on Tuesday to drink deep draughts of milk flavored with coffee. Her mental and moral vigor sustain her. She spent Tuesday ordering mourning, arranging for the funeral, dictating answers to the telegrams from Queen Victoria, President Cleveland, Emperor William, Empress Augusta, the czar, King Humbert and others and receiving the ambassadors. Emperor William will send a prince of his own house with two Prussian generals to attond the funeral. Marechale MaoMahon sent a feeling telegram, in which deep sorrow spoke to deep sorrow.

Scores of Warning: Letters.

Mine. Carnot has piles of letters threatening her husband and sons, received before and after the execution of Vailiant and Henri. Not long ago M. Carnot, while walking in the Bois with Gen. Borius, chief of his military household, was shadowed by a sinisterlooking fellow of whom he could only rid himself by retreating to his carriage. He had been warned from Italy to keep well guarded. Other warnings came from Brussels to beware of the grand prix on Jane 17.

Selecting a Candidate.

During the pillaging a barrel ol petroleum exploded and burned throe of the rioters to death. Troops have been hastily dispatched to the northern district. In addition all the dangerous points about Lyons have been occupied by the military. More serious trouble is apprehended. Two thousand arrests were made Tuesday in connection with the anti-Ital-ian manifestations. Tho greater number of the prisoners were liberated after short detention and after being cautioned against creating further disorder.

Thinks Bantu Acted Alone.

Santo stated while being examined by a magistrate Tuesday that he had no,personal grievance against President Carnot. He killed him because he was a tyrant.

The magistrate asked: "Are you an anarchist?" Santo replied: "Yes, and I am proud of it." "Why did yon kill the president?" "I will tell a jury they shall know the motive that prompted my action." "How did you stab M. Carnot?" "I pushed aside a cuirassier's horse. I had the dagger concealed in my sleeve and I only had to raise my hand. 1 aimed at. his stomach and brought my arm down sharply, at the same time shouting: 'Vive L'Anarchie.' The crowd rushed forward and prostrated me and I was beaten mercilessly." "You persist in affirming that you did not have accomplices?" "Yes. But Is the president dead?"

Santo gathered from Die magistrate's silence that his blow had been effective. He smiled with satisfaction, and raising his hand simulated thg
