?C0; silver gilders, 340; carriage and wagon workers, TOO. It Is exacted, the labor men say, that 1.0CO molders will strike In the morning. The Plumbers Union to-night decided not to strike. It 1 one of the strongest unions la the West, having 7.000 members. The presiient of the Building Trades Council says his order numbers 26,000 memtrrs, and they will all quit work before tiaturday wight. The men on the west division street and cable-car lines held a meeting thla morning and decided not to strike. The president of the teamsters' union claimed thi3 morning that 1,500 of his men have gone on strike, but careful Inquiry failed to verify the statement. The wholesale stores reported their teaming going on as usual, and It was impossible to find a striking' teamster. A few German bakers quit, but there was no general strike of the organization. President Deba when seen to-day said he had issued no further orders and expected to issue none. "That matter la entirely out of my hands now," he said, "and I have nothing more to say. The leaders of the other labor organizations have ordered strikes not at my request and they are handling the affair. That the general strike will be successful I have no doubt. It makes no difference if the railroads can run trains, for they will have no freight to carry with this general tie-up of business in effect." STItlKK AT AS EXD,

At Leant, so Far an Movement of Train at Chicago la Concerned. CHICAGO. July 11. The great railway etrike 13 practically at an end in Chicago. Trains oa all roads are moving, passenger trains are almost without Exception on time and freight traffic Is rapidly becoming regular. 'The backbone of the strike Is not only broke,'3 saiJ Manager Egan, of the Or.eral Managers Association, this after Boon, "tut th backbone ha3 entirely disappeared. The blockade i3 raised, and It will require but a short lime to get the railroad business of the city back into its regular routine." On the Chicago & Grand Trunk passenger frvlce is regular, and freight and suburban service was resumed to-day. The Wabash ran local freights and partof its t-uburb-in trains, In addition to the through passenger service, anl the Michigan Central inved a mass of merchandise which had accumulated at Michigan City. The Vv'h4:Gnin Central reported both freight and passenger trains running on time, and the Chicago & Northern Pacific announced that all day long freight trains were running regularly, although night service has rot been resumed. The Santa Fe ran trains regularly in and out of Chicago, and th Erie resumed freight traffic, with its passenger and express trains running on time. The Louipville, New Albany & Chicago ran all trains on time all day, the burned bridge at Hammond having been repaired. On the Chicago Great Western all passenger and freight, as well as yard work, was handled regularly, and on the Chicago & Alton all trains on the entire road are running without interruption. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois experienced no trouble, with the exception of a demonstrative crowd at Erazll, Ind. The Illinois Central road had ISO loads of ln-bound freight today, and its through passenger service was regular. The Chicago. Eurlington & Quincy handled several freight and stock train3 today, and its passenger and suburban trains were all on time. On the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago all passenger trains ran regularly, and freights were moved more freely. The Panhandle moved freight freely and reported Its passenger service uninterrupted, and the Chicago. Milwaukee & Sf. Paul handled the regular number of freight, passenger and suburban trains. ihe Ijke Shore & Michigan Southern announce that, owing to the Toledo strike, it had suspended the reception from Western connections of perishable freight and live stock. No more men will be brought to Chicago by th? general managers to tuko-the places of the strikers. General Manager Egan said to-day: "During the lest week the General Managers' Association engaged more than 2,i men, competent men in all departments of railroads, and distributed thm nmong the various roads. In addition to these, the roads have themselves engaged many men and brought them here direct from the East. Kully 3.000 men have taken the places of railroad strikers in Chicago. There ' are still plenty of applicants for work, and the roads have no difficulty in supplying all the vacancies caused by the strikers." Switch engines were puffing around the stockyards to-day. The Lake Shore had an engine at work, and a switch, train on the Wabash was running under command of blaster Mechanic Jamieson, Superintendent Merrill and Trainmaster Balou. The yards switch!?!?: company has three engines at work clearing away the wreckage that ha? blocked the tracks. Police and militia jruapded the trains, but no violence was offered. Morris received forty-two cars of cattle over the Iturlington and three over the Santa Fe. Tro meat trains were started from the yards. Their departure wa3 riot hindered. Last night two hundred yard employes refused to lo.nl a meat train, ani the work was done by new men. This morning the strikers told Superintendent Ashley that they lil not intend to quit work permanently and asked to be reinstated. Their request was refused. I'nder heavy military guard, the train which has been known as the "hoodoo" tnln at the stockyards since the strike be.ran was successfully mo veil to-day. It was a train o'f thirty cars loaded with cattle. ??ix car? of the stock were billed to Hammond and twenty-four cars to New York. This is the fourth time the train has been loaded with these cattle since the strike began, anil it is the same train that was taken out by the Cnlted States troops as jr as the Fort Wayne tracks last ThurIy. and then had to come back because f Distractions. ovi:ni:ic; talks. :ip Still Tlilnkn III Million" Men "Will Qnlt. ICAGO. July 11. Mr. Sovereign to-day co'i'd give no definite Information as to the pronrers of the strike. He had sctn nothing to discourage him. 'It cannot have bee;, expected." he said, "that a million men li all parts of the country are going to dtr,i their tools at the drop of a hat. Then? . no hair trigger mechanism about our organization. Action Is taken with delioeration. and this case Is no exception to the rule. There is nothing mandatory in our order. No power Is vested in any officers or set of of!icers to arbitrarily comiind th Knights to strike. That is not the way they do business. Put e ny one who understands the laiide workings of the order and Knows the obligation the members take "will rcnlize that the appeal has all the force t.t a command. Tne subo-dinate as-at-mblWs of th Knights will take action thereon, and there can be no doubt as to what th? ii tien will be. P,y the end of the week one mill on worklngmen belonging to tha order or in close sympathy will lay down their tools and quit work pending the Battlement of this question. People are looking forward with very great interest to the meeting of labor l?rdrs to be held here to-morrow at the reiu?st of Samuel Gompers, president of the Federation of Labor. Tin: sami: uiu'lv. Another Fruition Conference With the I'uUiiinn OHlclnls. CHICAGO. July 11. Mayor Hopkins, Mayor Plngree, of Detroit, and E. M. Phelps, of Chicago, had a two hours conference this evening with Vice President Wickes. General Solicitor Runnells and General Manager Prowne. of the Pullman company, at Mr. Wickes s office. Mayor Pingree's telegrams, urging arbitration, were presented and arbitration was strongly urged. The conference was held behind closed doors, the Pullman officials promising to give a verbatim report of it to the newspapers. The report, as given out by them, follows: "Mayor Plngree. of Detroit, accompanied by Mayor Hopkins and Mr. Erskine M. Phelps, of Chicago, called at the Pullman o'tices and submitted to the officials of the Pullman company the telegrams Mayor Plngree had received from the Mayors of other cities upon the question of arbitration. Thereupon followed a protracted friendly discussion of the matter. In which the office cf the Pullman company set out ffully their reason for believing that the 'question at Issue, which was simply the

reopening of the works and carrying them on at a ruinous loss, was not the proper suhject for arbitration." Mayor Hopkins, after the conference, would only say: "We are Just where we were before we went. Let them to do the talking." GOMPEHS AT CHICAGO.

lie Holds n Conference, hnt Decline to Give His YJevrn. CHICAGO. July 11. President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, arrived In the city about 10 p. m. He proceeded at once to his hotel, where he engaged in a lengthy conference with Secretary' Evans. Vice President Drummond, of the National Typographical Union, Secretary McHryde, of the National Miners' Pnion. and several local members of the Federation.

At a meeting cf the local lodges of the Knights of Labor, held in this city to-day. the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and telegraphed to Washington: "Whereas, The performance of republican institutions depends on the law-abiding character of the community, and. "Whereas. The chief executive of the Nation is as much a subject of law, and as bound to obey it in letter, and as subject as any citizen, and. "Whereas, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, has on more than one occasion wantonly violated the law of the land, to-wlt: In refusing. during the months of July, August, September and October, 1833. to purchase the amount of silver bullion required by law. In refusing to coin silver bullion, as the law directed, where silver certllicates were presented for redemption, and more recently in sending United States troops Into a State to quell riot without the request of the State authorities and without first issuing the proclamation required by law, and. "Whereas, Such an example of repeated and wanton violation of law and of his oath of office by the President of the United States, must of necessity provoke and serve as an excuse for lawlessness among the people at large; therefore, be it "Resolved. That we demand the impeachment of Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors, that the majesty of the law may be vindicated." APPLIES TO CHICAGO OXLY. View of Hnyen nntl McGnlre on SoverelBn'n Order. WASHINGTON, July 1L Messrs. J. W. Hayes, general secretary, T. B. McGuire and Mr. French, of the executive board of the X. of Ik, arrived here last night on business connected with the strike. McGuira said to-day: "We are here partly for the purpose of working up an interest In the bill recently Introduced in the Senate by j Mr. George, of Mississippi, which provides for compulsory arbitration." From statements made by the members of the board the strike appeal of Grand Master Workman Sovereign contemplates a progressive strike and not a universal one. "The present order of Mr. Sovereign," Messrs. Hayes and McGuire said, "applies to Chicago, and was issued by Mr. Sovereign on the application of the local labor unions. It applies to no other place than Chicago. It does not contemplate a general strike, and Mr. Sovereign has not the authority to order such a strike except by the consent of a majority of the executive board of the K. of L. If the labor assemblies In other cities want to strike they can do so by virtue of the appeal of Mr. Sovereign, but the present order has reference merely to Chicago." The action of Grand Master Workman Sovereign in calling out the K. of L. had been anticipated here, and, therefore, will not change in any particular ihs government's position or policy. A member of the Cabinet who was questioned to-day as to whether Mr. Sovereign's orders would complicate matters, replied: "No, It will not complicate matters, but it may require more men and arms to enforce the law. That Is the only effect It can have." Information received by the government indicates that there Is a .wide difference of opinion among local organizations of the Knights of Labor as to the merits of thi cause of the strikers, and that only a part of them can be induced to Join the strike. This being the case, the government officials are not inclined to regard the move as of very serious moment. The strike appeal has had no effect h:re. and Is not likely to have any. It is regarded as an appeal, and local unions will not order a strike. SE.XTIMEXT OF KNKHITS. Xo Action Taken by tlie Incentive llonrd, I). A. l.'i:o, K. of I,. BROOKLYN. July 11. The executive board of District Assembly, No. lit), K. of L., met in secret session in the hall at No. 359 Fulton street this evening.

No. 220 comprises fiftytwo local assemblies, and includes all the men employed in tradfs und occupations ot'.-r than railroads in Prooklyn and other s;etions of Iong island. Reports from all tliee locals laid before the ward were in tixor of taking any action that might be deci;lei upon hereafter. No official notice of Sovereign's appeal has b?en received, and no action was taken. It was, nowever. decided to call a meeting of the executive officers or the several locals of the distr.cts for Friday to take final action. A vmpathetis strike will probably be ordered if a majority of the locals are in favor of it. ninregHrded in the South. WASHINGTON. July 11. Dispatches from Savannah and Atlanta.

The unions connected with the Denver trades and labor assemblies belong to the American Federation of Iabor. It hod y Kennethan, president of the assembly, said to-day he did not anticipate President Gompers would call out the organized labor of this city, but If he shoult the order would be obeyed.

District Master Workman Hugh Kavanaugh. of the K. of Jj., when asked to-day what would be done here under the order of Grand Master Workman Sovereign, said the Grand Master had no authority to order a general strike.

Mr. Kavanaugh has not yet received official notice from Sovereign, and until he does no action will be taken by the order In Cincinnati. Doen Not Want to Order a Strike. LARAMIE. Wash.. .July 11. Master Workman Henry 'Bret'enstein, of District Assembly S2. K. of L.. said to-day: "I believe that if an order has been Issued for the K. of L. to strike. District $2 has not been excepted. If it has not. I do not believe the order will be issued. It Is unanimously against it. I have already written to Mr. Sovereign, telling him that I could not consistently order a strike on the Union Pacific, and that I hoped he would not feel compelled to interfere with the situation." Miner ot Likely to Strike. John McBride says there are from 7.000 to 8,000 Knights of Labor among the coal miners, and that it is customary In case of a strike being ordered by the head of the Knights of Labor to refer the part affecting miners to the heads of the miners' organization. This has not been done as yet in the present Instance. From 80,000 to &0.000 miners are now out of employment. PROVIDENCE, R. I., July II.

STILL WIDE APART

TARIFF BILL CONFEREES HAVE REACHED SO AGREEMENT. Three Appropriation Bills Pasaetl by the Senate Cleveland' Course In the Strike Indorsed. WASHINGTON. July 11. Members of the tariff conference committee, both from the Senate and the House, said to-day, when the conference closed. Just before 6 o'clock, that progress was being made. All agreed that upon the subjects where the Wilson and Senate bills radically differ the conferees are still yen' wide apart. It was stated by one of the House conferees that were the sugar, coal and iron differences adjusted there would be little difficulty in reaching an agreement on other matters. The House conferees feel that they are entitled to some radical concessions, and the Senators do not seem disposed to yield. The latter say that it was with the utmost difficulty that they prepared a bill which would command sufficient votes to pass the Senate, and that many changes would perhaps mean danger to the final adoption of the measure. To-day, more than heretofore, the House members have run against the tenacity of the Senate for a Senate bill, and the adjournment indicated that the stubbornness on both sides was keenly felt. The insistence of the Senate is not alone on the three large questionssugar, coal and iron but to-day differences have teen developed in other lines. The conferees of the two houses are almost deadlocked on the rnetal, cotton and woolen schedules. The changes in tne classifications of the wool and cotton schedules is one of the contentions, and one which cannot be easily settled. The Senators say they represent the views of their party associates on these questions, and are not disposed to yield. The Hou.se members are tenacious for the House bill on woolens, and claim that this schedule was one of the most important, as well as most satisfactory, in the Wilson bill, and that they cannot accept the increases. The subject of specific and ad valorem rates may not cause much trouble, as members of both houses agree that such differences will not be worth serious disagreements if the committee can get together on other and more important matters. The changes from ad valorem to specific duties, the House conferees find, are not so numerous as they supposed, and are largely in the chemical schedule. It Is understood that for this reason there are few disagreements over the first schedule, and that many of the less important schedules can now be arranged. Some members of the conference were so discouraged when the meeting adjourned last nlgnt as to say that it might be two weeks before they would get through. Efforts are being made to reach an agreement on all points, so that no article or articles shall be reported separately with the statement that upon these subjects the conferees disagree and ask for further Instructions and consideration. The men who are more especially interested in the keystone articles of disagreement are afraid that such a report will be made. The conferees also feel that a bill which the eight Democrats can agree upon Is more liable to immediate adoption than if disputed points are left for further consideration. MAKING IP FOIl LOST T13IE. Senate Pnnsci Three Appropriation IHIIm nnl IndomeK Cleveland. WASHINGTON. July ll.-The Senate is making up for lost time and is now disposing of the appropriation bills at a rapid rate. The record for to-day is three-lhe diplomatic and consular, the invalid pension and the Military Academy ppproprlation bills. The only one of these which excited any debate was the pension bill, and on this a discussion of the respective pension policies of the Republican and Democratic parties was precipitated. This took a rather wide range, and an attack on Commissioner Lochren and Secretary Smith broadened Into a sharp arraignment of the policy of the Democratic party In general. Senators Cullom and Gallinger led the attack, while Senator Palmer acted on the defense. The strike question again agitated the serenity of the Senate although nothing like the fiery passion of yesterday's speeches on the subject marked to-day's proceedings. After an hour's debate. In which the firmness, courage and patriotism of the President was commended by all, Mr. Daniel's resolution briefly indorsing the President's action and pledging him the sympathy and support of the Nation was adopted as a substitute for Senator Peffer's resolution. An amendment favoring arbitration was defeated 11 to 35. Several private bills were passed and, at 5:15 o'clock, the Senate adjourned. A PERSONAL MATTER. Mirny I'aiiKreNRiupu Anxlonw to Repent the Snlnry-Docklnff: Law. WASHINGTON. July 11. Humor is a quality rarely discovered In public documents, yet there is a decided undercurrent of It pervading the report from the committee on judiciary, which Judge Powers, of Vermont, has offered to the Hou.se upon his bill to repeal Section 4) of the Revised Statutes. Section 40 is that law regarding attendance upon the sessions of the House which directs that the Sergeant-at-arms ihail deduct the proper amounts from the salaries of members who are absent for other causes than sickness of themselves or members of their families. After ren uining for years a dead letter It was revived this session as a means of securing a quorum. Its revival was followed by a contention on the part of a large faction of the House that its repeal had been carried by inference in subsequent acts of Congress, a contention negatived by the judiciary committee. Then followed several bills for the repeal of the law, all of which were killed by the judiciary committee, until the consideration of the bill yesterday, when it received six votes favorable to four against repeal. llo.v the statute has been regarded and enforced can be judged by Representative Powers' report. -The committee." he writes, "is of the opinion that the bill repealing the section which has of bite exerted o much comment among the members of the House is the straightforward way of meeting the difficulties that have arisen under the enforcement of the obnoxious section. It is apparent tht the excuse of sickness is one easily made, and it is suspected that it is sometimes assigned as a reason for absence without any diagnosis of the ailments by medical experts. In other words, the enforcement of this section practically makes every member a pathologist on the subject of disease, which is not a qualification for service in Congress mentioned in the Constitution, and so, for this reason, the law is plainly unconstitutional. 'it is believed that each House of Conpress can, by an appropriate rule, better enforce the attendance of members than by a statute operative as a penal statute and evaded by every subterfuge. Many members believe that Section 40 has already been repealed by existing laws; many others believe that it is .still in force. Rut practically all of them wish to have it removed from the statute looks. The practical construction of it for nearlv thirty years has been in the same direction. Obviously the many ways to get rid of one objectionable legislation Is to repeal it, an 1 in this case such repeal will manifestly imfrove both the health and morals of the louse." There is little doubt that the bill will be brought to a vote in the House, for few matters of national legislation have attracted so much discussion this session as Section 40. One circumstance which may induce the House to repeal It Is the fact that it is altogether ignored by the Senate. Senators continuing to draw their sal aries wnue memoers are Deing docked. PASSED IN I) Ell SPECIAL ORDER. McRne Land (irnnt Forfeiture Illll Adopted 1- tlie Houne. WASHINGTON. July ll.By virtue of the adoption of a special order the House was enabled to reach a vot3 on the McRae land grant forfeiture bill this afternoon, and it was passed. The bill amends the act of Sept. 23, 1830, which In substance declared the forfeiture to the Unlt?d States of lands heretofore granted to States and corporations to aid in the construction of railroads, to the extent only of lands opposite to and cotermlnus with the portions of such railroads as ware not completed and derated at the time. The bill passed today extends the forfeiture to the portions of the several railroads, to aid in the construction of which the grants were made, which were uncompleted when the time expired within which the roads were respect-

It involves portions of the grants of twenty-five roads, the principal one of which Is the Northern Pacirtc, and will restore to the public domain about 34.000,000 acres. A proviso was added to the bill so as to prevent It from being construed to forfeit the rigrht of way or station grounds of any company, and also confirms to purchasers in good faith from such railroads the title to lands not in excess of 30 acres to each holder. An effort was made by Mr. Hartman to remove the 320 acres limitation on purchase titles, but this was defeated by a vote of SS to 112. The Senate bill granting a right of way through the White Karth and Fond du Lce Indian reservation to the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railroad was passed; also, a bill to authorize th? Biloxi & Hack Bay Bridge Company to construct a bridge over the bay of Biloxi. in Mississippi. At 5 o'clock the House adjourned. White House Porte Cochere Itotten. WASHINGTON. July 11. A splinter of stone weighing four or five pounds dropped from the roof of the porte-cochere in front of the "White House to-day. The stone showed signs of disintegration, probably from the action of frost and moisture, and if an examination shows that the process has been general considerable repairs will be necessary, as visitors and even the President himself would be exposed to danger from further falls. k Minister Denby In Poor Health. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. July 11. Minister to China Denby is here on a visit. Mr. Denby is evidently In very poor health. While Mr. Denby's resignation has not been requested by Mr. Cleveland, it will be promptly accepted If tendered. Mr. Denby. however, will not give up his snug $12,000 berth if he can help it.

Firth of Clyde, July ll.The Britannia has for the fourth time defeated the Vigilant, this time over the Northern Yacht Club, or Rothesay, course. The Prince of Wales cutter crossed the finish line far ahead of the Gould sloop. The distance sailed was fifty miles, twice over a course nearly a square, then to the opposite angle of the square and back again. Three sides of the square are broken by jutting points of land. The course Is one calling for the best seamanship. It is closer to the open sea than the Royal Clyde Yacht Club's course and generally has fresher breezes. The prize offered by the lloyal Northern Yacht Clut was ). The start was ma-le at 10:3) with scarcely a breeze blowing. The Vigilant had slightly the best of it. Her ballast had been shifted since yesterday's race and the appeared in much better trim. At the second mark boat, under Mount Stewart, the American led the Prince of Wales's yacht by two minutes and eight seconds. The Britannia, however, had the best of the sailing to the end of the first round, passed the Vigilant and crossed the line at mark boat No. 1 two minutes and nineteen seconds in the lead. At the end of the second round the Vigilant was half a rn'-le astern and had but little chance of winning. The beat from Wemyss to the home mark was dreary, as the wind fell to lifiht air. Britannia won by thirtyfour minutes and nineteen seconds. thhi:ati:kd tub prixcc Alleged Attempt on the Life of Wales, of Ilnulnnd. LONDON, July 11.
