FIGHT TO THE END. Sovereign Says There Is but One Course to Pursue. Chicago. July 14.—Grand Master Workman Sovereign, when seen after he had received the decision of the managers of the association and the Federation of Labor, said: . “Well, the general managers treat us with silent contempt and condemn us to death, do they? I suppose they expect us to die without any resistance, but they are mistaken. We will make a struggle. We shall try to tie up all the roads. But if we cannot do that we can at least-tie up one road and keep it tied up. I have seen Debs and we all agree that there is but one thing to (to, and that is to fight on to the end and with renewed energy.” As to the declaration of the Federation of Labor, Sovereign said: “Sympathy is not what we want; we want a coalition of forces against corporate powers, and unless we can get it we might as well at : once consent to be serfs. This declaration can have no effect on the strike. Up to this time these people have given ns no assistance. The strike has just begun. I think the position taken by the Federation of Labor will only weaken their own forces.” SWITCH SPLIT. E. aud T. H. Train Wrecked Under Pecu- ; liar Circumstances. Terre Haute, July 14.—A southbound Evansville and Terre Haute freight was wrecked under peculiar circumstances in the yards in the southern part of the city last night. Attempts were made before the train started to prevent the engineer and fireman from taking it out. Failing, the strikers left in anger. Fearing trouble, Superintendent Cobett and Roadmaster Thompson went out on the locomotive, watching the track for obstructions. The locomotive passed a split switch in safety, but it was turned under the moving train, derailing and overturning two cars. An explosion followed and it is believed dynamite was used. Men were seen running from behind a toolhouse. No one was hurt. BIG FOUR WRECK. Engineer and Fireman Killed by Miner.* at Fontanet. Fontanet, Ind.. July 14.—The striking miners who have been giving violent assistance to the railroad strikers at this point yesterday overstepped all previous conduct by wrecking a Big Four express train and killing Engineer Charles Moehrmann of Indianapolis and Fireman Fleck of Mattoon, Ills. A switch was turned by some miscreant whom officers are seeking, the engine and two cars going over an embankment and the two victims being crushed into an unrecognizable mass. That passengers escaped is miraculous. It is not improbable that the militia will be necessary at this point. PULLMAN SPEAKS. He Argues Against Arbitration But Does Not Declare Against It. New York, July 14.—George M. Pullman has issued a lengthy statement of the attitude of his company in reference to the strike, its causes, its merits and its settlement. He dopa not declare definitely against subrifitting to arbitration, but urges that it would be unbusinesslike to consent to an arbitration which might decide that the Pullman works be operated at a loss. He. explains at length the company’s version of the strike and the causes leading to it, arguing meanwhile that the company has been operating for the benefit of the workmen on contracts which yielded no Utt/uu.

WILL NAME ARBITERS. President Cleveland Grants a Knights of Labor Request. INQUIRY UNDER O’NEIL LAW. Be Will Name a CoinmlMlon So Soon ns Strike Leader* Give Assurance That LHWle.sne.s Ik to Cease —No Disposition to Weaken, but an Anxiety to End the Strife— Debit Pleased With the 'Action. One Deputy and a Boy Foolishly Killed. Fatal Collision With Marshals as the Victims—General Strike News. Washington, July 13. — John W. Hayes, general secretary treasurer 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 nis 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 receiva us and immediately opened the subject by referring to the 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 the powers necessary to administer oaths, subpena witnesses, etc. \ \ Request Granted. “The president finally decided to appoint the commission, and at once so informed ns. and at the same time stating that he would name the 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 and everything that the A. R. U. has fought for, but it will lead much further, for in the moments of the future, when defects of the present arbitration law have been made apparent by actual experience, prompt steps will be taken to amend the same.”' Hayes says that he is strongly opposed to the investigation of the Pullman boycott proposed by the house committee on interstate commerce. Os all investigations conducted by congressional committees not one had ever resulted in any benefit to labor organizations. They had always helped to defeat the objects of the strike which they investigated a<pd never did anyone any good. The arbitration commission to be ap-, pointed 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 are' responsible for them, and peace is restored. No Disposition to Weaken. The president laid great emphasis on the fact that no steps could be taken in this direction until lawlessness had ceased, and he made his promise contingent on the pledge of the labor leaders to see 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 ne \vill 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 Lamont. Attorney General Olney 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. First Perceptible Break. Toledo, July 13.—The first perceptible break in the strike at this point occurred when a portion of the yardmen and brakemen on the Wabash, Cloverleaf and Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton roads returned to work. On. the Lake Shore the tie-up is as complete as ever. Important Subject Sidetracked. Washington, July 13.—Consideration by the house of the resolution to investigate the railroad troubles has been indefinitely postponed because the committee on rules could make no arrangement of hours for hearing the subject.

Goiupers and HU Follower* In the Chicago Meding. Chicago, July 18.—Tne strike situation throughout the country continues in general one of quietness. The central point of interest has been the meeting of labor leaders, with President Goinpers of the American Federation of Labor at their head, in this city. It is admitted that the action of that body, jf taken unanimously, will have a marked effect on the situation, and persons well informe^ex press the opinion that unanimous action by it, except in the direction of quieting the present agitation or turning it into other channels, is unlike-I ly ' 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 Delis to declare the strike off, because of the infinite damage which is being done to the business of the country. 3. That tlw leaders unite in an appeal to ' the public to quit patronizing Pullman sleeping, drawingroom and diningcars. 1 3. That President Cleveland be requested to appoint a commission to investigate the strike and the causes which led iip 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 Olney. 8. That an effort be made to secure the passage of a compulsory arbitration law by congress. s. 0. That complaints be lodged looking to the indictment of the railway managers for conspiracy to obstruct the movement I of United States mails by refusing to run I mail cars 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 Goinpers 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. Gompers 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. DEPUTIES KILLED. Two Meet Death In a Collision on a Chicago Track. Chicago, July 13.—Two deputy United States marshals met their deaths and two others were more or less seriously injured' yesterday afternoon in a collision between freight trains on the 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 partly destroyed. The dead are: J. B. Bristol, crushed under boxcar; taken out dead. * W. A. Piioss, both legs crushed and injured internally; died -at the county hospital. The Baltimore and Ohio and Wisconsin Central jointly use tins track and by some misunderstanding of orders both trains were moving toward each other. They met on a curve and 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. RECKLESS SHOOTING. Deputy Marshals Cause Two Deaths While Under Excitement. 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 were sleeping on opposite sides of the tracks. They seemed rattled by thb unexpected incident and began discharging their revolvers recklessly, with the result named above. The boy Gregory was one of a number of the residents of the vicinity who rushed out at the sound of the shooting. Several other people had narrow escapes. The 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 Meeting. New York, July 13.—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 one in the 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 the railroad propertv in the country burned up and all the" rails torn up than to see them preserved by troops. Equally vehement speeches were made and resolutions were adopted denquncing federal interference. RIOTING AT FONTANET. Striking Miners Make Serious Trouble For the Big Four. Fontanet, Ind., July 13. — Yesterday the ’ Big Four started a train from Terre Haute which was held up and sidetracked at this point by striking miners. Deputy marshals could do nothing and the crews I were dragged from the train. One man was laid in front, of the engine, but was released. ......

I Parkersburg, W. Va., July 13.—Emplojes of the Ohio River railroad, representing the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, firemen, conductors and ma- ‘ chinists have 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 ent iq. wages. Less Alarming. San Francisco, July 13.—Sitice Wednesday’s horrible work at the trestle west of Sacramento the situation in California has been less alarming. There has been some rioting, “killing” ' of engines and other depredations, but I the troops have the situation well in hand. Several arrests have been made. Stampede For Work* Decatur, Ills., July 13.—The Wabash strike collapsed here yesterday. Two or three men asked for woWt. 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. Strike Surely Broken. Indianapolis, July 13.—Dispatches from all over the strike affected country indicate that the railroads are making good progress toward the movement of freight.

Spring Valley, Ills., July 13.—Wholesale arrests for the looting of the Spring .Valley Coal company’s store in fhis city have commenced, the sheriff making the arrests assisted by a company of militia. Scores of houses were ransacked from cellar to garret yesterday and any quantity of dress goods, provisions and groceries were discovered and identified as property stolen from the store. 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. PRENDERGAST DOOMED. Judge Grosucup Kef uses to Issue a Stay of Execution. Chicago, July 13.—Judge Grosseup late last evening decided not to interfere in behalf of Murderer Prendergast by refusing to issue a stay of execution. The prisoner expressed a hope, however, that some means would be found to prevent his execution. He ate a hearty supper, but after lighting a cigar and taking a few puffs became violently ill. He soon recovered. The scaffold was erected yesterday afternoon and was thoroughly and satisfactorily tested. Prendergast’s attorneys gave up all hope last night. f OHIO VILLAGE BURNED. Edon Almost Wholly Wiped Out by Un- * conquerable Flames. Toledo, July 13.—Edon, a small town in Williams county, was visited yesterday by a most disastrous conflagration, resulting in the loss of §175,000 worth of property. Seventy-two buildings were , destroyed, including nearly the entire business portion of the town. In many cases there was no insurance. Shot Because She Said “No.” New Haven, Conn., July 13.—Frank A. Dame, a painter, who some time ago proposed marriage to Mrs. Mary C. Perry and was rejected, shot her yesterday in the jaw. She may recover.

He denies all rumors to the effect that the American Railway union is preparing to give up the struggle. “We shall never yield,” he says. _____ FEDERATION CONFERENCE. Thing of the Past. | Chicago, July IB.—The present strike at the Union stockyards is now seemingly 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 taken place.
