WASHINGTON, July 13, John W. linyos, general secretary trw-'rer of the Knights of Labor, last night gave out the following statement concerning the committee's interview with President Cleveland: "We had an hour's talk with President Cleveland for the purpose of calling his attention to the arbitration act of 1888, introduced in the house at the time by Hon. John O'Neill of Missouri. "I had full authority from President Debs of the A. R. U. and J. W. Heathcote of the Pullman employes to represent their interests and act in their behalf. "Senator Kyle of South Dakota accompanied us and introduced us to the president. The president seemed pleased to receive us and immediately opened the subject by referring to tho law which the parties interested desired to
JOHN' W. HAYES.
see enforced. An hour was spent in discussing the various provisions of the act, which authorizes the president on his own motion to appoint two arbitrators, together with United States Labor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright, to act as a commission of arbitration and investigation and decide what should be done by either party to settle the controversy. The commission has all of tho powers necessary to administer oaths, subpena witnesses, etc.
Keipiest, Granted,
"Tho president finally decided to appoint the commission, and at once so informed us, and at the same time stating that he would name tho arbitrators either today or tomorrow. "We expect to secure much more from this arbitration than the final settlement of the present difficulty in Chicago. It is in itself a great victory for labor organizations aud everything that the A. K. U. has fought for, but it will lead much further, for in the moments of tho future, when defects of tho present arbitration law have beon made apparent by actual experience, prompt steps will be taken to amend the same."
Hayes says that he is strongly opposed to tho investigation of the Pullman boycott proposed by the house committee on interstate commerce. Of all investigations conducted by congressional committees not one had ever resulted in any benefit to labor organizations. They had always helped to defeat tho objects of the strike which they investigated and never did anyone any good.
The arbitration commission to be appointed by President Cleveland would, in his opinion, be much more effective and satisfactory in every way.
It is officially stated at the white house that the president has promised to appoint an arbitration commission as soon as the disturbance in Chicago has subsided, so far as the strikers are responsible for them, and peace is restored.:
No Disposition to WeaVen. Tlte president laid great emphasis on tho fact that no stops could be taken in this direction until lawlessness had ceased, and he made his promise contingent on the pledge of tho labor leaders to seo to it that so far as organized labor is concerned the trouble at Chicago and elsewhere will immediately disappear. There is no disposition on the part of the administration to weaken in the stand which it has taken, but the president fully realizes the gravity of the situation and. while he will not temporize with the lawless element, he is determined to do all in his power to reach a permanent solution of labor questions.
The usual consultation between the president, Secretary Lament. Attorney General Oluey and General Schofield was held last night, but no new orders were sent out. General Schofield said after the conference that reports from all the troops in the field, except those in California, had been received and that all reported affairs quiet and orderly.
A dispatch from Chicago quotes President Debs as being delighted with this turn in the contest.
Kirat Perceptible llreak.
TOLKOO, July 13.—The first perceptible break in the strike at this point occurred when a portion of the yardmen aud brakemen on the Wabash, Cloverleaf ami Cincinnati, ll.^nilton and Dayton roads returned to work. On the Lake Shore the tie-up is as complete as ever.

CHICAGO, July 13.—President Debs in an interview reiterates his oft repeated
predictions of success in the strike. He claims that the position of the strikers hits been strengthened. He denies all rumors to the effect that the Amerioan Railway union is preparing to giye uti tho struggle. "We shall never yield, he says.

ORAWFORDSVILLE,
THE CRAW FORDS VILLI] JOURNAL
ot the American Federation of Labor at their head, in this city. It is admitted that the action of that body, if taken unanimously, will have a marked effect on the situation, and persons well informed express the opinion that unanimous action by it, except in the direction of quieting tho present agitation or turning it into other channels, is unlikeiy-
It is known that several suggestions are being considered by these leaders. Among them are the following: 1. That, the striking Pullman employes, on high patriotic grounds, appeal to President Debs to declare the strike olT, liecnuse of the infinite damage which Is being done to the business of the country. 2. That the lenders uuite in an appeal to the public to quit, patronizing Pullman sleeping, dra.vinKroom and diningears. 3. That President Cleveland be requested to appoint, a commission to investigate the strike and the causes which led up to it, in the expectation that the report of such commission would justify the action taken by the. strikers and free them from the charges of rioting and disorder. 4. That, immediate efforts be made to secure the impeachment of Attorney General Oluey. 5. That an effort he made to secure the passage of a compulsory arbitration law by congress. 6. That, complaints be lodged looking to the indictment of the railway managers for conspiracy to obstruct the movement of United States mails by refusing to run mail ears except in connection with Pullman cars.
The federation has telegraphed to "the president of the United States" a request to come to Chicago to meet the conference or deputize some one as his representative, declaring that the gravity of the industrial situation of the country demands extraordinary and exceptional action of a conciliatory character. The telegram is signed by Samuel Gompers and other officers of the federation.
The meeting was in session until an early hour this morning, several heated arguments occurring and some of the hotheads urging a strike at once. Action, however, was deferred until today. Mr. Gotnpers was pleased to hear that the president would appoint a commission. He would say nothing as to the decision likely to be reached by the federation.

T.vo Meet Death In a Collision on a Cliicago Track. CUICAUO, July 13.—Two deputy United States marshals met their deaJiis and two others were more or less seriously injured yesterday afternoon in a collision between freight trains on tho Wisconsin Central tracks near Sixteenth and Jackson street crossing. Two locomotives and several cars were wrecked and the 3 story brick warehouse of Purdett, Smith & Co. was pnrtly destroyed. The dead are:
J. 13. BI:ISTOL, crushed under boxcar: taken out dead. W. A. Pf:oss, both legs crushed and injured internally: died at the county hospital.
The Baltimore and Ohio and Wisconsin Central jointly use this track and by some misunderstanding of orders both trains were moving toward each other. They met on a curve aud the impact as the two engines came together was tremendous. Both engines were buried under the mass of shattered cars they were hauling and the helpless deputies who were riding on top of the cars next to the engines were caught and crushed.

Dcput3' MarshaU Cause Two Deaths While Umlcr Kxeltemeut. CHICAGO, July 13.—United States Deputy Marshal Peter Fische and an 11-year-old boy, Arthur Gregory, were fatally wounded last night in a fusillade between deputies in Kensington. Some unknown person had placed on the Illinois Central tracks several torpedoes which were exploded by an outgoing train. When the explosions occurred two parties of deputy marshals rushed out from cars in which they wore sleeping on opposite sides of the tracks. They seemed rattled by the unexpected incident and began discharging their revolvers recklessly, with the result named above. The boy Gregory was ono of a number of the residents of the vicinity who rushed out at tho sound of tinshooting. Several other people had narrow escapes. Tho deputies assert that they were firing at three men who were seen running away, but the people in the vicinity say there was no one about. Five of the deputies were arrested by the police.
VEHEMENT SPEECHES.
Cleveland Denounced and Hissed In a New York Labor Sleeting. NEW YORK, July lit.—The labor demonstration held last night in Cooper Union to express sympathy with the strikers in Chicago and the west was an extraordinary outpouring of people. The hall was crowded to excess and 3,000 people surrounded the building unable to get an admittance. The meeting was a vehement ono in tho manner it expressed its convictions. The name of President Cleveland was received with a storm of hisses and hootings.
Henry George denounced the use of general troops and lauded Governors Altgeld and Stone and declared that he would rather see all tho railroad prop erty in the country burnod up aud all the rails torn up than to see them preserved by troops. Equally vehement speeches were made and resolutions were adopted denouncing federal interference.
Thing of the Past.
CHICAGO, July 13.—The present strike at the Union stockyards is now seem ingly a thing of the past and within a few days all business connected with the
yards will be running as if no strike had ever takon place. For the past two days profound quiet has prevailed in that district. The strikers and their sympathizers are now eager to go back to work.

July 13.—Employes of the Ohio JJiver railroad, representing tho Brotherhood of Loo 'motive Engineers, firemen, conductors and machinists iiave asked their chiefs to order a strike against the road. This is not a sympathetic strike, but to compel the company to restore a 10 per cent cut in wages.

SA N FIIANCIS- O, July 13.—Since Wednesday's horrible work at the trestle west of Sacramento the strike situation in California has been less alarming. There has been some rioting, "killing" of engines and other depredations, but the troops have tho situation well iu hand. Several arrests have been made.
Stampede For Work.
DKCATUH, Ills., July 13.—The Wabash strike collapsed here yesterday. Two or three men asked for work. That was the beginning of what proved to be a stampede, over 200 applications being made by night. All passenger and freight trains are running. At Peoria the strike is also ended.

In no instance where goods were identified were they seized, but instead the head of the household was arrested and thrown in the guardhouse at the military camp. The policy of the coal company is to hold the city responsible. The prisoners, 10 in number, were taken to Princeton last evening. Others will follow.

"As an amateur carpenter, I don't think I am much of a success," said a gentleman yesterday. "For several months past I have been engaged in building a dollhouse for one of my children. I chose a room 111 tho stablo in which to do my work, for, with the gaslight, I was able to spend my spare evenings in hammering aud planing. Well, I completed my task tho other evening and was proud to behold a (tollhouse tho liko of which I had never seen. It was a perfect miniature house. Yesterday told tho driver to get a man to help him carry my handiwork from tho stablo to tho children's playroom. Imagine my feelings when ho came back and informed me that tho dollhouse was too large to pass through tho door of the room iu which I had built it. I had never thought of getting tho houso out, but my oversight so disgusted me with my work that I hired a carpenter to break it up so that it could bo taken out in pieces."—Pittsburg Dispatch.

STORIES MET WITH DENIALS,
t'onferrees Say That Coal and Iron Schedules Have Not Kven Keen itiscusfccd. Vet the Gossips Have These Matters
Settled -Gorman's Alleged Threat Also Denied -Investigation Sidetracked.
WASHINGTON, July 13.—There was more interest manifested yesterday among senators and members of the house not members of the tariff conference committeo than on any previous day since the conference of tho Democratic members of the committee began, aud tho air about both tho senate aud house was full ot rumors as to what had been done. Many of these stories wore considered sufficiently well founded to justify senators and members iu discussing them as accomplished facts. The most persistent of these rumors was that coal and iron ore were to be restored to the free list, as they wore when the bill passed the house.
Members of tho committee spoken to upon the subject after the adjournment of the committee declared that no action had as yet been taken upon these two items, and they went so far as to declare that they had not even been discussed. They made tho same denial of another story to tho effect that changes had been decided upon iu the sugar schedule. This, like the coal and iron ore rumor, gained persistent circulation.
It developed late last night that the whisky schedule was one of the main questions of contention yesterday. It was not settled and the final determination will be made today. Tho discussion was far from satisfactory to those who have been most watchful of this schedule.
Ever since the Democratic members of the conference committee began their meetings last Montlay without inviting the Republican members there has been manifested a disposition on tho part of Republicans of both houses to criticise the partisan metlJs of the proceeding, and this dissatisfaction took shape vesterday in tho introduction by Senator Hale of a resolution calling attention to tho failure of the Democrats to call a full conference of Democrats and Republicans. Senator Hale said later that tho resolution was a rosult of an understanding among several Republican senators. Ho expressed the opinion that the resolution would develop an interesting debate today.
Senator Voorhees has told Senator Allison that he thought the Republican senators would be invited into the conference early next week.
NOTICE GIVEN 11V GOllMAN.
Tariff Conference Committee Must Not, Materially Change the Hill. WASHINGTON, July 13.—Senator Gorman has served notice on the conference committee that is working on the tariff that any material changes 011 the sugar schedule or tho duty on coal and iron would result in the defeat of the bill by the senate. Tho contest between the house and the senate over tho bill is going to be a long and earnest one. Already the cry is lieing raised that the south, which has seven out of the eight members of the majority of the committee, is claiming large concessions. Predictions are made that the houso will yield to the senate in many matters, because the influence of the senate conservatives is potent.
The opinion is expressed by some that the conference committee will submit partial reports to the two houses, as they are able to agree upon the various propositions pending. If this can be done it will hasten the work. It is iisserted that a report upon sugar, recommocding ei tiler free sugar or a uniform duty on both the raw and the refined product, would be acceptable by both houses. The western Republicans in the senato would make up all the votes which the Democrats would cast against it.
A later dispatch says the report that Senator Gorman had told the conferrees that unless the differential on refined sugar was retained the bill would be defeated in the senate is denied by both Senators Gorman and Harris. It appears truo that Mr. Gorman has interested himself in having the senate bill preserved as nearly as possible, but he declares that I10 has made no threat as to what would happen in case it should be changed.
C»uveH8ions by Sugar InvcHtigntorx. WASHINGTIIN, July 13.—Senators Gray and Lindsay of the senate sugar trust investigating committee were in conference yesterday afternoon over the report which the committee is preparing. It is understood that they had under consideration suggestions mode as to points which should be embodied in the report by Senators Davis and Lodge. They are anxions that the Republican senators should agree with them upon a report, and it is believed that tliev will make material concessions in order to secure this result.
Convict Labor Hill.
WASHINGTON, July 13.—A favorable report has been made by Representative Ryan of New York, from the house committee 011 labor, on the bill of Representative O'Neill of Missouri, to prevent comi)etition between convict-made goods and tho products of free labor by preventing the sale of tho former outside of the state in which they are made,

WASHINGTON, July 13.—The senate yesterday passed the army and fortifications bills and passed to consideration of rivers and harbors. The house agreed to the senate amendments to the Utah statehood bill. Other proceedings were unimportant.

"Come 011 and have something -with me." "I'm rather particular who drink with," saiil Smith. "Well," responeded Thomas, with a laugh, "I as! you to take a drink with me." "If I want a drink I guess 1 can buy it for myself,'' said «ixiith.
One word led to another »m! Thomas thought himself insulted. He walked to the end of the bar, where there is a door. In a minute the two men had come to blows. Smith had drawn a knife.
As they foughf at the end of the bar Smith cut Thomas 011 the wrist. Thomas was trying to ward off the slashes of the knife. He turned to get out of the saloon and Smith cut. a gash in his back as.he followed him out. 'The other men stood back, fearing to interpose.
There was a sharp seuflio and a quick movo on tho part of Smith with the hand that held the knife, aud Thomas fell to the floor with a gaping wound in his throat. The jugular vein and the carotid artery were both severed. The life blood poured out in a stream and covered the porch and the body of the dying man.
