Up at Valpa-raiso-Other Strike News. j Chicago, July (t.—Every jHiliceraan on [ the tuuith side was called into service I yesterday afternoon when word was re- | ed tnat then was a blockade on the | Ku k Island road at Twenty-fifth street. IA dozen cars had been thrown off the I truck and behind the obstructions were I three passenger trains trying to get into the city. Thousands of people sur- ' rounded the trains and the aspect beI came so threatening that the railroad officials sent in the call for policemen to flis[>erse the mob. When the mob first attacked the train at Twenty-fifth street there were but a few policemen there and they could do nothing with the strikers. At Twentysecond street there was anot>3r gang which attempted to throw a freight car off the track. (tiuirried by Soltiierft. While trying to disperse the mob and prevent the strikers from carrying out their purpose, an officer was struck on the head with a stone, thrown by one of the crowd, and seriously hurt. Reinforcements arrived ami the mob was 'dispersed. Over 200 policemen then patrolled the tracks and crossings and protected the wrecking crew which was engaged in replacing the derailed cars on the track. This was not accomplished until nearly* o’clock last night when the first train started tor the city. It moved out slowly. In front there was an empty freight car. Then came the engine which was guarded by 2.") United States soldiers and as many policemen. The remainder of the train consisted of coaches which were filled with policemen, soldiers and railway officials. The other two trains followed a short distance behind, the last train having a mail car attached. Mallear Cut (tir. .Assistant Chief Kepley was on the first train and as it proceeded he ordered the extra policemen to go to Sixteenth street where it was thought another attempt might be made to obstruct its passage. No further trouble, however, occurred, but the mailcar attached to the rear of the last train was cut off at Eighteenth street by some unknown parties. As this train was not so heavily guarded as the others the absence of the mailcar was not noticed until the train reached the Van Bureu street dejsit. An engine guarded by a squad of isilice left immediately to bring the car in. The most urgent call after the one from Twentyfifth street and the Rock Island tracks was for men at Thirty-ninth street and the Chicago and Eastern Illinois tracks. This call was sent out by General Manager Egan, who said that a mob was in control at that place and the police were unable to handle it. Polimiutn Wounds m Striker. The mailcar which was cut off at Eighteenth street was afterward brought into the city. It was found at Eighteenth street where it had been detached. The officials, who were on the engine, wanted to have two day coaches brought in. but the fireman and engineer refused to go back for them. The mailcar was then brought into the

depot.

In two instances there was bloodshed. On the Western Indiana tracks a hard pressed special policeman tired at his pursuers, wounding a striker in the leg. On the Lake Shore road an official of that company in charge of a train which he was endeavoring to force through emptied his revolver point blank into the massed strikers about him wounding two or three, it is believed. The small detachment of United States troops spent the entire day in an attempt to move a single car loaded with beef. All sorts of tricks were played on them by the strikers, switches being turned and blockades made to stop the progress of the car. l-leputiett Almost CatiMe » Itiot. Two deputy United States marshals almost created a riot at Thirty-third street and the Pan Handle tracks last night, two men being shot and painfully wounded. About 12 o'clock two deputies named Eugene Keck and Michael McGann wont into a saloon at Western avenue to get a drink. There was quite a crowd standing around the place at the time and the deputies were hooted at. When they came out someone began throwing rocks at them and the deputies pulled their revolvers and began firing. At this time there was a large crowd around them and Henry Roehr and August Ross received bullets in the arm and leg resjiectively. The shooting attracted the attention of the police and the two men were arrested. By this time the crowd was thoroughly enraged at the action of the deputies and there were threats of lynching them. They were guarded, however, by the police who finally landed them at the station. May'Not Go Out. Frankfort, Iml., July 6.—When the word was received here that the trainmen at Charleston, Ills., had refused to move the Clover Leaf trains it was teared that the strike on that line would lie general, and that the men in this citg, the main division of the road, would go out, but such did not prove the case, .ThaRail we v u nion

irv. n nidge in Frankroft 6t over aoO members, and while the men here are in sympathy with the strike, it is not now believed that they will leave their work, i VICTORY FOK STIUKKKS. Man In Chargo of the TowerhnaM at Hitiiimontl Join* Them. Hammond, Ind., July tt.—The strikers pained a decisive victory last night when, at 8 o’clock, C. G. Thomson, who has charge of the towerhouse at the crossing of the Michigan Central and the Nickel Plate, Monon and Chicago and Erie railroads at this place, announced his intention of going out and joining the strikers. This was done after he had opened all the ground rails so that any train attempting to pass over the crossing would be derailed and run in the ditch. A few minutes after he hud gone ont train No. 5 from the east over the Michigan Central arrived. Before it could pass over the crossing Station Agent Mallett closed the switches and spiked them. This delayed the train for over an hour, and many of the passengers got off and took the streetcars

into Chicago.

Dragged From Their Engine*. Detroit, July tt.—Two nonunion Wabash engineers and their firemen were dragged from their engines a mile west of Delray last evening by strikers. The engine men were operating locomotives on outgoing and incoming passenger trains respectfully. The engineers and firemen were roughly handled, the engineer of the outgoing train being severely beaten. All four were nonunion men sent from Indiana to run the engines. After being dragged from their posts they were started out ward and pursued till out of sight. Fireit Ht L.it<*lifU‘l<l. Litchfield, Ills., July 0.—This city was the scene of six tires yesterday and either the striking railroaders or people in sympathy with them are accused of incendiarism.

Trainmaster Cotter asked the mayor for police protec tion. but he flatly refused to grant it, saying the corporation was supposed to furnish their own watchmen.

ARBITRATION THE BASIS. Employe*, Uniler the Proposed Meiwiire, Will Sij;i» I'emonal Contracts With Employer*— Que*tion Being Studied by Senators- Doing* of the IIou*e—Other New* of the Capital. Washington, July 6.—Representative McGann, chairman of the labor commit- | tee of the house of representatives, is preparing a plan for avoiding strikes which he will soon present to President Debs of the American Railway union, to President Gompers of the Federation of Labor and to the heads of large railroad and other corporations employing labor. Mr. McGann's plan dot's not contemplate a law, but a contract between employer and employed, by which each will agree to submit differences to arbitration. Mr. McGann says that his experience at the head of the lalxir committee has shown him that few federal laws of any value to lalx.r can be enacted, owing to the constitutional objection that congress and the federal government can legislate only on interstate questions, and most strikes are wholly within state lines. Mr. McGann believes that a eontract between the parties will be more effective than a law and he is drawing up a rough form of such contract. May Do Away With Uiiitmn. It is advisory, and will lie so submitted to the conspicuous labor leaders and employers, but Mr. McGann thinks it will recommend itself to them. To the contract is to ix 1 a prerequisite to any employment. It will recite that the parties will avoid strikes and other radical means of remedying abuses by agreeing to refer all disagreements to an arbitrator or to a board of arbitrators, each party naming one and the two naming the third. With this contract in existence arbitration would be assured in advance of a grievance arriving ami no strike could occur without a breach of the contract by one party or the other, which breach, in Mr. McGann's judgment, would turn public sentiment against the one to break the agreement and thus compel him to accede to the arbitration contract. Mr. McGann says that the ■general adoption of such an arbitration contract would give individual rights to each laborer and would thus tend to do away with unions. It would also aid the employe in avoiding the loss from strikes. AETUELIVS REQUEST. He Vt'nnl* Federal Troop* Withdrawn From tllinoi*. Washington, July 6.—The following telegram was received by President Cleveland from Governor Altgeld of Illi-

nois:

1 am advised that you have ordered federal troops to go into service in the state of Illinois. Surely the facts have not been correctly presenteil to you in this case, or you would not have taken this step, for it is entirely unnecessary and, as it seems to me, unjustifiable. Waiving all questions or courtesy, I will say that the state ol Illinois is not only able to take cure of itself, tint it stands ready to furnish the federal government any assistance it inity need elsewhere. Our military force is ample and consists of as good soldiers as can be found in the country. John P. altgeld. The president replied as follows: Federal troops were sent to Chicago in strict accordance with the copstitution and laws of the l lilted States upon the demand of t he post office department that obstruction of the mails might lie removed, and upon the representations of the judicial officers of the United States that process of the federal courts could not lx- executed through the ordinary means, and upon abundant prcxif that conspiracies existed against commerce between the states. To meet these conditions, which are dearly within the province of federal authority, the presence of federal troops in the city of Chicago was deemed not only proper but necessary, and there has tieen no intention of thereby interfering with the plain duty of the local authorities to preserve the peace of the city. GROVER CLEVELAND. WHY IT WAS REVOKED. An I iHlianiair* IVii*ltui Takpn Away After an Kxainiiiation by the Loral Boartl. W ashington. July 8.—One of the Indiana representatives called at the jx'iigion office a few days ago to present the protest of one of his soldier constituents who had been dropped from the pension rolls. The man had applied for a pension in 1885, but his claim was not allowed until 1891, when General Raum granted him a pension of $8 a month for general disability under the act of 1890. Several of his neighbors had forwarded affidavits stating that the soldier was totally incapacitated for manual labor, in fact, a physical wreck. The Indiana congressman demanded an explanation from the pension bureau why his constituent had been suspended, and when the proofs were shown him left perfectly satisfied. The report of the local board of medical examiners, on whose recommendation the pension was dropped, after discussing every vital organ of the man’s txxly and declaring each to be “normal,” wound up with the statement: “This man may lx» suffering from a disease known in Indiana as ‘laziness,’ hut this is the only disability we have l aen able to find.” Ilt>ti*e Doing*. Washington, July 8.—The events of interest in the house yesterday were a cablegram of congratulation from the Brazilian chamber of deputies to the honse of representatives on the 118th

the entire afternoon. MAY RESl LT IN GOOD. I*rt’*t*nl Labor Trouble* Likely to Lra<l to Some Metbotl of Arbitration. Washington, July 6.—The best lawyers of the senate committee on education and labor are making a careful study of the question of the power of the government to make an effective law for the adjustment of disputes between employer* and employes. Members of the committee would like, if it can be found within the jurisdiction to do such a thing, to enact an arbitration law providing for the arbift'ation of labor troubles and the enforcement of the decision of the board when both parties to the dispute have agreed to submit the question to arbitration. It is very douhtlul, however, whether the powers of the government under the constitution are broad enough to admit the enactment of a law which would lx* effective. Mr. WIImoii Krturua. Washington, July 8.—Represei tative Wilson returned yesterday from the sick bed of his wife at their home in West Virginia and at once bxik up the tariff

The wounded man died in 15 minutes. Both men were considered jxmceablecitizens and wore well-to-do fanners. DROWNED OUT LIKE RATS. Thieve* Seek Hefuge In a Sewer, but Are Forced to Capitulate.
