LOST THEIR JOBS.

Striking Switchmen in Chicago Find Their Places Filled.

HUNDREDS ASK FOR REINSTATEMENT.

Rallrwd Official* Estimate That Over 7,000 of Them Will Have to Seek Work Elsewhere—Troops Withdrawn from Pullman.

LOOKING FOB WORK.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7:—On all roads except the Santa Fe and Eastern Illinois striking employes presented themselves Monday as applicants for reinstatement. The great majority found that their places had been filled and were told that there was no work for them. In some instances the striker* were informed that they would not be received back under any consideration, but the roads which have adopted this policy are In the minority. Many of the old men who had walked out when the strike was ordered, and who were told that there was no work for them, were taken aside and quietly informed that in a week there would be vacancies in the yards and to call again. On Information furnished by general managers, general superintendents and division superintendents of the roads with terminals in Chicago, the estimate of ormer employes of the railroads in Chicago, who struck and who have lost their situations because new men were brought in to take their places, who will be retained unless removed for cause, places the number at over 7,000.

The General Managers' association has a list of the names of the men who took part in the car burning and upsetting and of the leaders of the strike. It was said by a superintendent Monday that the general managers had dccided that not one of the men whose names were on the blacklist would ever again find employment on any railroad in Chicago.

About 2,000 men applying for work at the stock yards were sent away Monday. The Switchmen's association took charge of the switch engines in use about the yards, the old men being placed over tbe new ones to give instructions to the latter,

Will Aid the City.

The American Railway union will assist the city in the investigation of the olaims of the railroad companies for damages growing out of the labor riots and the prevalence of mobs. Information is being furnished to the corporation counsel and the mayor and the city, as well as the American Railway union, expect to prove that in many instances the destruction of property was accomplished by men employed by the railroads and the General Managers' association. A double objeot is sought by the American Railway union, as they hope not only to show that the work was done by the railroads themselves, but that In no case was It done by members or representatives of the union.

Pullman Rents Not to Be Remitted. Vice President Wlckes, of the Pullman company, says that the company will not entertain the proposition from the strikers to return to work if the company will 'emit the past due rents of houses in Pullman.

CORN TAKES A JUMP. It Closes on 'Change at Chicago on a Par with Wheat.

CHICAGO, Aug 7.—Corn and wheat stood on a par when trading closed on 'change Monday. The shorts had been In a state of terror all day, and the corn pit was livelier than it had been in many months As soon as the market opened corn indicated a strong tendency to soar, and In a few minutes It jumped cent to cent over the closing prloe Saturday, which had been the highest price paid during the dry-weather rise. The bullish tendency was still further strengthened by the reports whloh were constantly coming from Nebraska and Iowa especially and the other corn states. These reports were the most discouraging that have ever yet been received. They indicated that on account of the drought there would be less than one-third of a crop in Iowa and Nebraska and from extreme southern and western Illinois the report received indicate an almost total loss of crop. As the day wore on country orders began to come in, and these, with the speculative feeling which they developed, served to make the volume of trade enormous. About noon the greatest excitement prevailed. Many who ordinarily only trade in wheat left the wheat pit to take advantage of the flurry in the oorn market. Shorts began to cover and the market went still higher, until at 1:15 o'olook it closed at 58X cents.

The real cause of the rise was country buyers set off against certain persons selling who believe tbe market artificial. Besides this the foreign demand for oorn is active, and the call for ready corn the last few weeks has been very steady. The advance In corn has led many board members to sell wheat and to invest in May corn, an almost unprecedented proceeding.

THE CRAW FORDS VILL I] JOURNAL

Messrs. Springer and Bynum made no concealment of the faot that the cauous is for the purpose of end'»"» the contest by accepting the sejr 111. In this connection they que' lenient made to them by Senate Mills to the effect that further house resistance meant the killing of all tariff legislation.

Chairman Voorhees, of the finance oommittee, has been unable to attend the conference on account of 111 health, and Is still confined to his house. He has not yet been heard from on the points now at issue among the oonferrees. It has been assumed that he stood with the senate conference managers, not only for the senate duty on sugar but also for a duty on coal and iron ore. He announced the contrary in an interview Monday. He talked very freely, advocating such concessions on the part of the senate as would bring about a speedy agreement and took strong ground in favor of yielding to the demands of the house for free coal and free iron ore.

The crop report of the Indiana weather service says: "A bad condition of the crops In all parts of the state Is shown, no portion of the state being exempt from the effects of the drought, and In many the outlook being worse than at any corresponding time In many years. In northern Indiana tbe corn on tho uplnndN and on sandy soil Is almost an entire failure, while that In the bottoms Is reasonably good snd may make an average crop If seasonable rains should fall within a few days. In central Indiana the condition has been slightly relieved by local showers, but these have not been of wlda extent and the benefltB are not marked. There have been local rains also In southern Indiana, but so wide apart as to do little good. Hay has been abundant and of excellent quality.

ALABAMA VOTES.

An Election for State Offloers Held on Monday.

LATEST RETDRSS FROM THE POLLS.

The Populists Jubilantly Claim a Victory for Kolb for Governor, While tha Democrats Are Kqually Confident of Oates' Success.

THE FIGURES.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 7.—Alabama voted for state officers on Monday. Returns began coining In as early as 0 o'clock, and from some points it will take two or three days before the exact returns can be secured. The trial of the Sayre election law, which Is similar to the Australian system, proved successful and only in a few places was there any hitches. The oountry beats seem to have gone for Kolb, while all the cities of any size have returned majorities for Oates. The cities of Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile, the largest oities in the state, will give majorities for Oates.

As early aB 9 o'olook the Kolb leaders began claiming Kolb's election by 16,000. The democrats, on the other hand, had but little to say, feelln? assured of Oates' election by about 80,000.

In south Alabama, acoordlug to returns oomlng In, demoorats have made gains exoept in Mobile county, where voting was light. In eastern Alabama Oates made gains, while Kolb's only gains are to be noted from north Alabama.

There Is no doubt that the legislature will be democratic acoording to returns now In. Lowndes, one of the black-belt counties, gives Oates about 8,000 majority, while in 1898 it gave Jones about 1,500 majority. The advice of republican leaders to negroes In that oounty not to register or vote seems to have been disregarded. ft.The Kolbltes claim tnat bulletins being received are not official, and that if they are true Kolb can spare southern Alabama and still be 18,000 ahead. The vote will be as large as In 1892, with gains for demoorats in many southern and western counties. Union Springs gave Oates 1,148 and Kolb 8. Three-fourths of the cities have returned majorities for Oates, while country districts have done the reverse.

At midnight it looks as if Oates will only get 18,000 majority In the state. The Kolbltes are jubilant and still olaim a victory of 15,000.

Helena was a soene of difficulty late in the afternoon at the polls. Irwin Lambert and Horace Riddle had a dispute. Lambert was stabbed in the back and is fatally injured and Riddle had both ears bitten off.
