are somo men, however, who are working in out-of-the-way places and on tributary roads whom we can takeout. When they stop work 1 think we can say the Centralis effectively tied up. "We will not call ont men on other roads who handle New York Central freight, became wo might clash with th laws of this and other States. Hut wo will allow tho local assemblies to call them out, and then we 1 mean the executive board, of course will indorse their action. 1 think we can briua: the freight traflic to a standstill, notwithstanding the declarations of Webb and Yoorhees. Why, only two freight trains of thirty cars left New York yesterday." President Webb was seen, and in reply to a question said: "What do I think of the course of the federation! Awiso course for the men, I say. The leaders of the federation are astute and cool-headed. Their action and subsequent statements of their course will do a great deal to harmonize the relations between employers and employe. I don't mind the little things they said about myself, for these were said in the heat of the moment."

WIX.L. HE LONO AND BITTER. What If Said About the Central Strike by the Organ of the Itnlghts of Labor. Piiiladfxphia, Ang. 27. In an editorial on the New York Central strike which appeared this week in the Journal of the Knights of Labor, is the following: "The company has distinctly challenged the right of workingmen to organize for the mutual protection and for the bettering of their condition. Mr. Webb has neither the courage nor the manliness to openly avow this. Ho takes refuge in the old, time-worn subterfuge. Does any one' believe for a moment that if Mr. Webb, or those whose mouth-piece and instrument ho is, felt a confidence in their ability to show that the men were discharged for good and sufficient reasons and if such be the fact the company cannot but be in possession of the proof he would be willing to lone the millions of dollars the strike has already cost the company, and the many more millIons it will cost before it is settled, rather than agreo to an arbitration or investigation which would quickly and triumphantly vindicate his position? . It is because Mr. Webb knows that the statement he is paid to make is probably falss, and that he dreads investigation, and it is becausethe people recognised this that public opinion is very generally with us. With public opinion all things are possible; without, little is possible; against it nothing is possible. It was a Vanderbilt who said, 'Public opinion be damned;1 it is now the turn or publio opinion to damn the Vanderfcilts. The decision of the Grand Council of the Federation of Kailway Employes is most gratifying, and in marked contrast with the pusillanimous conduct of the members of the Brotherhood of Kailway Engineers employed on the road. The board believes that if the members of the order remain true, and if they do their duty in npholding the general officers, the order is fully able, alone and unaided, to bring thift contest to a successful' termination. They do not conceal from themselves they have no desire to conceal from the order that the struggle will, in all probability, be a long and bitter one.7' Barry Refused an Offer of 6100,000. Detroit Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. Tom Barry, who was at one time a member of the executive board of the Knights of Labor, and the most prominent labor man in the West, said to-day in answer to a question as to the outlook of the present labor troubles: "If yoa want me to tell yon what is the reason that the Knights of Labor are a back number, why, here it is: Did you ever hear of an officer in an organization trying to bleed the members for all there was in it? Yes, perhaps you have, but that is all right. Let me tell you something. Do you remember tho great Southwestern Btrike something in the way of a labor revolt that knocks the New York Central strike into a cocked hatf Well, I was right in the midst of that quarrel. The stocks of the railroad fell out of sight. I was approached by a broker on Wall street, for I was a member of the executive board, and oflered $100,000 in hard cash, good coin of the realm of the United States, if I would tell in advance wheu tb6 strike was to be nettled. Did I take it? Of courso not, or I would be wearing a heap better clothes than I am to-day. I told the broker I waa not in it that way, and he accepted my declaration as truth. I refused that 100,000. but. as a member of the general board, I reported it to the others, and they rejected it with ecorn. Twenty-four hours later the strike was declared off. If I made anything out of it 1 have not received it." TRAFFIC ON THE CENTRAL Yards at and Near Albany in a Crowded Condition Knights Return to Work. Auiany.X. Y.. Aue. 27. The Boston & Albany road to-day informed -the Central people that they were delivering too many cars to it. Tho yard at Karner's, from a personal inspection, appears to be much more crowded than i$ was a week ago. There are several hundred loaded cars in the West Albany yards, the cars being very much in need of repairs, and the freight in them will have to be transferred. This work would have been done before this time were it not for the fact that there are not enough men in the repair-shops to do one-third of the necessary repairs. About three hundred men were at work in the shops to-day. Two striking Knights returned to wont in the blacksmith shop this morning. About one-third of the men now at work in the shops are non-union men, who went out with the Knights, but have since re turned. The rest are new men. A striking Knight at West Albany to-night said that not as yet had one of the strikers returned xo wors in tne est AiDany or Karncrs vards. In a bulletin issued to night the strikers say the Central officials are giving out exaggerated statements of the movement of freight, and claim the strike is no more settled now than it was Aug. 7. They deny that any of the Knights have applied for reinstatement. One of the strikers said that tho men would not go hack to work at the earliest until Mr. Depew had returned. lie added that Mr. Depew would undoubtedly receive a committee from the striking Knights. The Pinkerton force at West Albanv has been reduced one-third. There are about 250 of these men there now. Situation at ISuflTolo. ' Buffalo, X. Y, Aug. 27. Tho strike Bitnation on the surface appears to be unchanged. John Devlin, of tho Knights' executive board, addressed a meeting to night. Several of the striking switchmen applied to the superintendent for reinstate went to-day. Their cases are beincf con sidered. A considerable number of new men who camo here to take the strikers' places are in the hospital sutleriug from tho results of accidents. Several have had their arms caught between the bumpers and smashed, and others are minus lingers. Handling All Business. Chicago, Aug. 27. O. W. Kuggles, gen eral passenger and ticket agent of the Michigan Central road, is advised by the New York Central that they are handling an trainc. both passenger and ireight, promptly and safely aud that no danger of any delay or interruption is to be expected. AT THE CHICAGO STOCKYARDS. Tbe Association Formally Dissolves Engines Manned by On"lcIals-"ScabH Freight. Chicago, Aug. 27. The general managers of all roads centering in Chicago were in continuous session nearly all day, discuss ing the strike of the Stockyards Switching Association in all its phases. The most positive action taken during the day was the adoption of two resolutions touching a kindred subject. The first declared that under no circumstances would the de mands of the striking switchmen for increased pay be granted, and the second reempbasized the action of Monday dissolving the Switching Association. The Switch ing Association, while it may have- been lield in abeyance up to this time, is now Certainly dissolved, and it is hoped by tho

general managers that this will offer a 6peedy solution of the strike, as the roads are to do their own switching. Considerable time was consumed in tho discussion and adoption of certain needful reaulations to control the interchange of freight trattic. As each road doing its own switching might lead to confusion and complication in the yards on the question of precedence, it was resolved that the executive board of general managers shall have full and complete control of the switching in the stockyards and settlo all disputes between the roads as to precedence of right of way over the switches. Before adjourning tne general managers adopted a resolution directing that ail employes of tho old associations,- engineers and firemen, as well as switchmen, be paid off, but that tho various roads be recommended to re-employ as many of tho old employes as they might desire. There is little doubt all the engineers and tiremen will be re-employed, and probably many of the switchmen also if the latter care to return to work. The general managers declared their action in regard, to the strike to be final, and adjourned sine die. At the stockyards, while business is not at a stand-still, operations are not being conducted with their former facility. The Michigan Central, this morning, took out a train of thirty cars of dressed beef for Swift, which had been standing in the yards since last Friday. At 1 o'clock this afternoon thirteen engines were at work in the yards, handling about ail the goods tftat the shippers cared to move. The engines working belong to the Fort Wayne, the Northwestom, the Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Baltimore fc Ohio, the Illinois Central, the Panhandle, the Michigan Central and the Lake Shore. In many instances the engines are being manned by the ohlcialsof the several roads. The Lake Shore, however, has its regular crews. All the packing-houses were killing to-day. Tho striking switchmen are marking every car that goes out of tho yards with a private mark to indicate that , it is "scab" freight, and they claim that it will not be bandied by tho regular men of the various roads. Thus far, however, there is no trouble in the down-town yards. The men aro all working except those on the Chicago & Alton, whose strike has no relation to the stockyards allair. Chairman Keed.of the strikers' grievanco committee, says: The companies doing business in the stockyards have made a proposition to us to go back to work under tbe old scale of wages, and for all overtime work to receive night wages." This statement is denied by the railroad oflicials, who claim that they nave made no such proposition, but that thoy believe the switchmen would be quite willing to receive one of tho character mentioned. An engine of the Baltimore & Ohio came into the yards to remove some loaded cars, and while making connections the B. & O. switchmen quit work and abandoned the yards. A large force of police are on the grounds, and the best of order and apparent good feeling prevails. A report is being industriously circnlated "by the striking stockyards switchmen tonight which, if it gains general credence among railway men, will certainly precipitate a general strike throughout the West. These switchmen profess to see in the present attitude of the general managers in abandoning the Switching Association and calling on the regular employes to do the switching of the respective roads, a disposition to force a strike in order that a general war may be made on the Federation of Kailway Employes. The strikers insist that the railroads had secret agents at the Terre Haute meeting of the Supreme Council investigating the extent of the Federation, and that it has since been determined to make a war of extermination on the federation in case it espouses the cause of tbe stockyards switchmen. This story lacks many elements of probability, particularly when it is remembered that the present strike was precipitated by the switchmen and not by the roads, but it is being assiduously circulated by many railroad agitators to-night, and is a fruitful subject of discussion. Manager Chappell and the Alton Trouble. Chicago, Ang. 27. The strike of the switchmen on the Chicago & Alton continues to-day. General Manager Chappell is determined to fight it out, and to this end went personally into the switch-yards this mcrning and proceeded to earn his 10,000-a-year salary by turning switches and coupling cars. "There can be but one end to this strike," said General Manager Chappell, "and wo are glad that it has been precipitated. Our men have gradually gainedpowcr, untilthey are insolent and wholly undisciplined. Wo have endeavored often to get rid of them; to free ourselves from their jelntches, but without result. The public safety demands discipline of railway employes, and we cannot have it with those men. Therefore wo are glad to be rid of. them. "There is very little change in the situation from last night. We did not try to move any freight business during the night. We wero bothered some yesterday from the fact that the engineers and tiremen were reluctant to work without the old switchmen, fearing it might make them trouble in the future. We 'have now overcome that difficulty and made an effort this morning to start our freight trains, which we will be able to do without difficulty if we receivo proper police protection. Chief Marsh has gone to Brighton Park in persoiu where the strikers mostly congregate, and promises us ample police force to protect our oflicers and new employes. Many men are applying for situations, and we can till the places of all the strikers by Saturday night if they aro protected when once at work. During tho night the strikers took the keys from the draw heads on many freight cars at Brighton Park to provent the cars being moved. In this way thev hope to embarrass us and prevent oar resuming operations. As I have said previously, it ail depends upon tho police keeping the strikers away from our property." This morning tbe tiremen and engineers decided not to go out in support of the switchmen, as it had been intimated they might do. The firemen were especially anxious to go out. but wiser counsel prevailed. Kven the striking switchmen were opposed to such a move. Later in the day a number of non-union switchmen were secured and set to work under police protection. Strikers Will Not He Helped. Chicago. Aug. 27.-A mass-meeting of railroad employes was held to-night to refute the allegations made on several occasions that tho Switchmen's Association had it in its power to prevent the frequent outbreaks among the men, and failed to use its authority. Of the switchmen employed in tho various railroad yards in this city, it. is safe to say that not more than one-third belong to the association. Among the switchmen at tho stockyards not over eight are members of tho association, while on tbe Chicago fc Alton there are only three members. That tho Supremo Council of tho Switchmen's Association is not in sympathy with many of the strikes inaugurated Grand Organizer Hall's comments at the meetings to-night on the Chicago &, Alton affair show plainly. He said: "The strike was begun without cause, and even wero the men members of our order such a strike would bo quickly settled by the men being ordered back to work. We are not inakiug war on any man simply becanso ho is not a member of ' our order; neither because he was about to resume his old position. This strike on tho Chicago &. Alton would never have occurred had the management listened to us at the time of tho last big strike. Wero 'our men only at work in the yards tho association could control them, and half, yes, nine-tenths of thoi present strikes would be averted. In order that a strike may be proclaimed, the grievance of the men must go through as much red-tape handling as tho gravest bills passed by the United States Senate." Will Fight the Dressed-Ileef Combine. New York, Aug. 27. Philip Armour, Swift & Co.. Morris & Co.. and Eastman &. Co., the firms comprising what is known as the "Big Four," in complete control of the American dressed beef market for years, are at last compelled to face a determined competitor. A stock company has recently been formed called the Dahlman Dressed-beef Company, organized under the laws of the State of New Jeney, with a capital of $1,000,000, for tho purpose of supplying the American and European markets with dressed beef at figures much lower than those fixed by the controlling syndicate. The amount of the capital stock of the company has been subscribed, and the oflieers and directors uro men well known in the financial world.

CODY AND CARVElt AT WAIL Rivalry In the "Wild West Business That 3Iay Lead to Scalps Being Taken. t . New York, Aug. 27. Tbe Herald has the following special cable dispatch from Hamburg: Excitement over the fierce row between Buffalo Bill and Dr. Carver isintense. People are afraid to come out of doors after dark. The place is in a state of siege. The members of each troupe have opeulj' declared their intention of fighting for their masters if the quarrel ends in a general fight. There can bo no doubt but that it is only through the efforts of tho civic authorities that bloodshed up to the present has been avoided. Dr. Carver 'has 'been' following Col. Cody all through the latter's tour of tho cities of tho continent and his performances have been better patronized thVn Bill's. Carver stole a march on his rival and arrived in Hamburg three days ahead. When Cody cot here ho found he was obliged to .pitch his tent a few feet from Carver's show. Carver made arrangements ' for an exclusive supply of electric light and left Cody in the dark. Then members of both camps took up the matter, and it was through the strenuous efforts of the police oflicers that a fearful fight was prevented. Hamburg is filled with a howling mob of Indians and cowboys who are waiting for a chance to scalp each other. The town is covered with posters of both parties. As soon as Cody's bills are pasted up Carver's assistants come around and tear them off and nut their own in place. It is fan open secret that while Carver did an frnormons business in Berlin and Vienna Cody fell flat, fcunday Cody and Carver opened at the 6amo time. Carver gavo two shows and had SC.000 visitors, while Cody only gave one, which was attended by 7,000 persons. It is rumored that tbe syndicato which brought Buffalo Bill to Europe this year has left him, so that he is handicapped for want of money. Both leaders have announced an indefinite stay at Hamburg, which is filled with visitors who are afraid that serious trouble may break out at any moment. No actual cases of assault are reported, but threats of death are freely used. GENERAL. FOREIGN NEWS. Diabolical Wife Murder by a Farmer, Who Also Takes Ills Own Life. Homburg, Ang. 27.

Can't Get Away from the Facts, San Francisco Chronicle. The Democrats seem disposed to znako tho mistake of finding fault with the Hepublican party because it has not passed a free-coinage act. They should not overlook the important fact that Cleveland attempted to suspend tbe operation of the Bland act in the interest of the gold nionometallists, and that the party in a most cowardly fashion, at drover's dictation, smothered the Beck resolution, which simply provided for replacing the national Lank notes as fast as they should be retired with silver dollars. Tho Democrats may make as much noise as thev please about the present silver act, but they will not be able to conceal the fact that under its operations the price of silver has been advanced nearly 27 cents an ounce and promises to go to a parity with gold on the ratio of 1G to 1 in a few days. Iteauties of a Moral Victory. Chicago Post. Mr. Powderly affects to be hugely pleased with tbe "moral victory" of tho Knights of Labor over tho New York Central. Young Mr. Webb, on the other band, seems quite content to accept moral defeat, so long as he enjoys actual victory. He. the morally vanquished, is running trams about as usual, while his moral victors, the Knights, aro peeking through the fence and waiting for a job. If Mr. Webb is sure, in this honr of his defeat, of three meals a day he has probably more than some of his victorious enemies, the Knights, will shortly have if they continue to subsist solely on the fruits of ilr. I'owderly's moral victory. Tlas Come Down from the Clouds. Ksnsaa City Star.
