of Labor Fail to I'omc Out on a .Strike.

PREDICTION BY SOVEREIGN.

Be Says That by Saturday Fully 1,000,OOO Men Will Quit Work, After tho Vurlous Assemblies Meet and Take Action—Train Ditclied In California and

Three Men Meet Death*

CHICAGO, July 12.—Tho ultimate effect of the appeal issued by Grand Master Sovereign of the Knights of Labor calling on all knights throughout the country and those in sympathy with them to quit work, and the order isaued at about the same time by tho representatives of alUed labor in Chicago to do likewise cannot yet be certainly foreseen. All that is now definitely known is that the Knights of Labor at all points heard from, including nearly all of the large centers of population in the United States, remained at work yesterday with practical unanimity and that, in this city, the number of members of the allied trades which remained at work so far outnumbered those who quit as to make no appreciable change in the industrial appearance of the city. The leaders, however, say that there is notning in tho situation to cause them discouragement: that the public through lack of knowledge of the machinery of industrial organization has been led to expect results which were not in contemplation when the strike orders were issued. lias No Power to Order a Strike*

Mr. .Sovereign, for instance, points out that his appeal was not an order to strike—that, in fact, he has no power to order a walkout, but that persons acquainted with the working of the organization would know that in effect it would be the same as an order. In short, he was perfectly confident that by Saturday nest, after the various local and district assemblies had time to meet and take formal action on the appeal and to rally their friends outside the order, the result would show 1,000,000 men idle as a consequence. Surface indications so far, however, do not bear out the claims of Mr. Sovereign. It is not recorded yet that any district assembly of the Knights of Labor has voted to strike. On the other hand the Brooklyn district, which is composed of railroad men and therefore naturally in sympathy with their fellows in the west, at a meeting confined their expression of sympathy to a tender of financial aid, but declined to strike.

All Kyes on Gompers.

The general public as well as organized labor is looking forward with marked interest to the meeting of the executive board of the American Federation of Labor, perhaps the most powerful organization of the kind in the country, in this city, and its action is expected to have a marked effect on the outcome of the present industrial struggle. It. is known that the position of Samuel Gompers, its president, has been ono of opposition to a sympathetic strike of federation men at this time, and that ho looks on the existing situation as critical. He has invited the heads of other labor organizations to meet him here, and the belief is that he will strenuously advocate measure to bring the trouble to an end.

The great railway strike is practically at an end in Chicago. Trains on all roads are moving, passenger trains are almost without exception on time and freight traffic is rapidly becoming regular.

L. W. Rogers, editor of The Railway Times, and one of tho men indicted by the federal grand jury said he thought the proceedings of the past 24 hours would tend to solidify labor. The seizure of Deb' private papers was an outrage, he said.

Conference Proves Futile*

Mayor Hopkins, Mayor Pinirree of Detroit and E. M. Phelps of Chicago had a two-hour conference last evening with Vice President Wickes, General Solicitor Runnells and General Manager Browne of the Pullman company at Mr. Wickes' office, Mayor Pingree's telegrams urging arbitration were presented and arbitration was strongly urged. The conference was held behind closed doors. Pullman officials promising to give a verbatim report of it to the newspapers. The report as given out by them follows: "Mayor Pingree of Detroit accompanied by Mayor Hopkins and Mr. Erskine M. PhelpB of Chicago called at the Pullman offices and submitted to the officials of the Pullman company the telegram Mayor Pingree had received from the mayors of other cities upon the question of arbitration."

Thereupon followed a protracted friendly' discussion of the matter in which the officers of the Pullman company set out fully their reasons for believing that tho question at issue, which was simply the reopening of the works and carrying them on at a ruinous loss, was not the proper subject for arbitration. Mayor Hopkins after the conference would only say: "We are just where we were before we went. Let them to do the talking."

Private Downing of the Second regiment, I. N. G., became involved in a difficulty with Patrick O'Connor, a laborer, last night and shot him through the head, killing him.

Will Not Notice It,

PROVIDENCE, July 12.—It has been definitely settled that the Rhode Island Knights of Labor will take no notico of Sovereign's order, District Master Workman Cannon holding that he has no authority to issue such a command.

Thing of the Past*

MEMPHIS, July 12. The strike at Memphis is a thing of the past. Trains of every description are moving on time and the railroads have given notice that perishable freight will be accepted foi all northern and eastern points.

Trainmen Shot At*

TERRE HAUTE, lnd., July 12.—Passenger train No. 5 on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois which arrived here last night was fired on by a mob shortly after leaving Danville, Ills.

No one was reported injured. The train was due here at 4i20 o'clock, but did not arrive until 10:80 last night on account of burned treBtles.

office. The alleged crimes consist in his advice to the president to introduce federal troops into Illinois and other states when they had not been asked for by the state authorities and in fact against the earnest protest of certain governors. As a result of this advice United States soldiers have fired upon and killed citizens of several states without lawful or sufficient cause. Mr. Olney is charged with encouraging the Pullman company in the stand it has taken against arbitration, in disregard of the sentiment expressed in the arbitration act of 1888.

CRAWFORDSVLLLE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JULY' 12, 1894

sS PROGRESS BEING MADS.

However, Still Wirto Apart on Some Items,

HITCH ON THREE QUESTIONS.

Sugar, Coal and Iron the Stumbling Hkock*—Kudical Conresnions Wanted by the lloiitfc Men titers of the Committee.

Senator Smith Settle* a Strike—Debs* Papers Restored—Otlmr News.

WASHINGTON, July 12.—Members of the tariff conference committee, both from the senate and the house, said when the conference closed just before 0 o'clock last evening that progress was being made. All agreed that upon the subjects where tho Wilson and senate bills radically differ the conferrecs are still very wide apart. It was stated by one of the house conferrees that were the sugar, coal and iron differences adjusted thero would be little difficulty in reaching an agreement on other matters. The house conferrees feel that they are entitled to some radical concessions and the senators do not seem disposed to yield. The latter say that it was with the utmost difficulty that they prepared a bill which would command sufficient votes to pass the senate and that many changes would perhaps mean danger to the final adoption of the measure.

StubboriiueKS or. Both Sides*

Yesterday more than heretofore the house members run against the tenacity of the senate for a senate bill and the adjournment indicated that the stubbornness on both sides was keenly felt. The insistence of the senate is not alone on the three large questions—sugar, coal and iron—but differences have been developed in other lines. The conferrees of the two houses are almost deadlocked on the metal, cotton and woolen schedules. The changes iii the classifications of wool and cotton schedules is one of the contentions and one which cannot be easily settled. The senators say they represent tho views of their party associates on these questions and are not disposed to yield. The house members are tenacious for the house bill on woolens and claim that this schedule was one of the most important as well as most satisfactory in the Wilson bill, and that they cannot accept the increases. The subject of specific and ad valorem rates may not cause much trouble as members of both houses agree that such differences will not be worth serious disagreements if the committee can get together on other aud more important matters.

May Be Two Weeks Getting Through*

The changes from ad valorem to specific duties, the house conferrees find, are not so numerous as they supposed, and are largely in the chemical schedule. It is understood that tor this reason there are few disagreements over the first schedule and that many of the less important schedules can now be arranged. Some members of the conference were so discouraged when the meeting adjourned as to say that it might be two w'eeks before they would get through. Efforts are being made to reach an agreement on all points, so that no article or articles shall be reported separately with the statement that upon these subjects tho conferrees disagreed and ask for further instructions and consideration. The men who are more especially interested in the keystone articles of disagreement are afraid that such a report will be made. The conferrees also feel that a bill which the eight Democrats can agree upon is more liable to immediate adoption than if disputed points are left for further consideration.

MUST SIA l(K AN EFFORT.

Anticipated Destruction of Property No Kxcuae Fjr Withdrawal of Trains. WASHINGTON, July 12. Postmaster

General Bissell has received a number of communications from railroad officials complaining of the obstructions on their lines and consequent interruptions. To all of these he has sent a reply, stating that railroad companies are expected by the government to put forth unusual efforts in the performance of government and public business and, in fact, exhaust all their available resources in fulfilling their obligations to the government as carriers of the United States mails. The fact that managers of railroads may anticipate that their trains will be obstructed and property destroyed cannot be regarded as sufficient justification for them to withdraw trains from service and make no effort to transport the mails.

SENATOR SMITH AS AKI1ITKK.

Strike of Potter* Settled Through Ilia Intervention. WASHINGTON, July 12.—Through the

good offices of Senator Smith of New Jersey the strike of pottery workers, involving about 7,000 laborers in New Jersey, was settled and as a collateral effort the difficulties in the same trade in Ohio, involving about 5,000 men, will also be settled. Ydteterday representatives of tho pottery manufacturers of New Jersey and ono from Ohio, and a large delegation of potteryworkers met with Senator Smith, and the result of the discussion was an agreement by which tho potters went to work this morning at a reduction of 12 1-2 per cent from the scale paid before Jan. 1.

Kepairs Necessary*

WASHINGTON, July 12.—A splinter of stone weighing four or five pounds dropped from the roof of the portcochero in front of the white house yesterday. The stone showed signs of disintegration, probably from the action of frost and moisture, and if an examination shows that tho process lias been general considerable repairs will be necessary, as visitors and even the president himself would be exposed to danger from further falls.

Congress.

WASHINGTON, July 12.—The senate disposed of three appropriation bills. The only one which excited debate was the pension appropriation, and an attack on the policy of Commissioner Lochren was made by Senators Gallinger and

Cullom. A resolution indorsing the president's policy in regard to the rait» road strike was substituted for that of Mr. Peffer. An amendment favoring arbitration was defeated—35 to 11. The house passed the McRae land grant forfeiture bill.

TWO NEW PENSION BILLS.

One of Them Authorizes Postmasters to Take Acknowledgments* WASHINGTON, July 12. The house

committee on invalid pensions, of which Congressman Martin of Indiana is chairman, has reported two important pension bills to tho house. One ia to permit

postmasters to take acknowledgments, under oath, to vouchers for the payment of pension money. This jiower does not enable them to take acknowledgments to affidavits in proof of claims. The relief intended is to facilitate tho payment of pensions, and postmasters are instructed to affix the stamp of their office in lieu of an official seal, and are authorized to charge not to exceed 25 cents for each acknowledgment. The bill was approved by tho commissioner of pensions. The second bill is intended to amend the act of June 80, 1890, so far as it relates to insane, idiotic or otherwise permanently helpless children of soldiers. Heretofore this act has been construed to apply only to children who were under 10 years of age at the date of the passage of the act. The proposed law is to pension all such dependent heirs, regardless of their age, provided they can prove that their disability was acquired before reaching the ago of 10.

TO INCREASE T1IE AllMV.

Opinion Expremed That Such a till] Would Meet Willi Little 0|iponltion. WASHINGTON, July 12.—Mr. Outh-

waite, chairman of the military committee of tho house, is not much in favor of increasing the army as this time. He has intimated that so far as he could see there was now a sufficient number of regulars to cope with the strikers, and that if matters grew more serious there would be time to take action to increase the force. Whatever the committee may do, it is evident that there is a sentiment in the house among the more conservative members that there is full justification for raising the strength of the army. Representative Hall of Missouri said that he had become convinced that the time for increasing the regular military force of the country was near at hand and that the necessary authority might as well be granted by congress now. He said he would vote for the adoption of legislation to that effect and in his opinion there were not many members of congress who would oppose it. "Not a few of us believe that the present situation is the beginning of something more serious," he added, "and if we are sound in this opinion delays are highly dangerous."

SElKUltK UNLAWFUL*

Debs* Private Papers Iletumed to llim by the Government. WASHINGTON,July 12.—Attorney Gen

eral Olney after reading the accounts of the seizure of Debs' private papers, expressed his regrets at this action of tho government officials and at once sent the following telegram to Special United States Attorney Walker:

If the seizure of Debs' private papers was not strictly and technically lawful, papers should lie returned. The government ill enforcing the law cannot afford to be itself lawless, nor, even if they be within Its strict right,, should measures be resorted to which are unusual and come dangerously near invasion of personal rights. The government is too strong and its cause to righteous too warrant or require.anything of that nature. Please wire at once what has taken place and what is done in pursuance of these instructions.

It is assumed that it was in obedience to this telegram that action was taken under which the papers were surrendered and the act of seizing them disavowed.

Mr. Co*pcr'H Greenback Hill,

WASHINOTVN,

July 12.—Congressman

Cooper has a promise from Senator George of Mississippi to take charge of his bill to tax greenbacks and push it through the senate. Mr. Cooper's bill, which passed the house last week, is now with the judiciary committee of the senate. The two Indiana senators have promised to assist- Senator George in his efforts to pass the bill before congress adjourns. Mr. Cooper believes that his bill will become a law.

Thornton A. Washington Dead. WASHINGTON,July12.—Colonel Thorn

ton A. Washington is dead. He was a great-grandson of Colonel Sam Washington, the oldest brother of the first president. Colonel Washington was born near Charlestown, W. Va., was graduated from Princeton college and West Point and after service in the regular army resigned to join the confederate army. He was employed in the general land office at the time of his death.

Treaiury Cash Balance.

WASHINGTON, July 12.—The cash balance in the treasury at the close of business yesterday was $110,078,322, of which $64,840,717 was gold reserve. The engagements of gold for export today amounted to $700,000, of which 100,000 went to Canada.

Some Hot Weather.

PiiiURE, S. D., July 12.—Yesterday was tho hottest day in the history of the city—110 in the shade. A terrible prairie fire is raging across the Missouri river, A strip several miles wide and over 40 miles long has burned since last night. A high wind is raging. The people in Fort Pierre are ditching around the city.

YOUNGSTOWN, O., July 12.—Not a streetcar was run on any of the lines in this city yesterday. Powerhouses were silent and other evidences were not lacking to show that the tie-np of the employes was complete. It is probable a action looking to a resumption will be taken for several days.

Vice President Stevenson.

It is noted that strangers go into his room behind the sonate chamber, porhaps a little norvous at tho prospect of meeting a vice president of tho United States, possibly the first they havo over seen, and they come away so delighted with the man they have met that they havo almost forgotten that he is tho vico president. He never fails to thank a stranger for honoring him with a call nor the friend who brings him for giving him the privilege of seeing him.— Chicago Tribune.

Tom lleed's New Suit*

Ex-Speaker Reed has set anew fashion. The other day he donned a suit of Kentucky tow, very cool, but very baggy. His trousers were beautifully creased, but—shades of Berry Wail—they were creased on the sidos instead of tho front 1 The result was very funny. Mr. Reed's capacious legs looked as if they had wings on them, for tho creases iu the sides stood out conspicuously and with generous expansion. And the worst of it was that everybody had something to say to Mr. Reed about the way ho ware his trousers, so that hy the time the house adjourned he was a very tired man. —Washington Post.
