THE INDIANAPOLIS JOUHNAL, SAiuilDAY, JULY 11, 1894.

f.clent to overawe the striker?, and to-day thre was no further violence. In San Francisco the event of the day "was the empaneling of a special Unled States srand jury by Jude Morrow to Investigate the prevailing disorder?. In the course of.hLs charge to the jury. Judge Morrow said: That the passage of the mail over certtin lines of railroad in this State have been retarded and obstructed there Is no question. The regular receipt am', dispatch CT mail over the roads of the Southern Pacltlc company have, in fact. been -us-pended at the San Francwo poMoflloe for u period of about two weeks. Who 1 responsible for this state of affairs? The railroads must be kept In operation if it is possible to do so with the force and appliances within reach. Anv neligrnce in this repect Is not excused by temporary aittlcultles. The present controversy lwtween the Southern Pariflc and its employe. appears to be In relation to the movement of Pullman cars, lloth parties to this controversy have announced in the vuhhc press they have teen readv and "Willing from the first to move freight cars and passenger trains without Pullman cars. Jn ray opinion the situation has b-n of such extraordinary character and the Interruption to commerce so serious and long continued as to have required of the railroad company to temporarily waive all questions concerning the make-up of regular trains, as the officers of the company claim they have done, and employ such resources a.i the company had in. the movement of other train in an effort to relieve the prevailing congestion and distress This obligation 1 believe to have been a public fluty, and that a failure to perform this duty with respect to the movement of mails and interstate commerce conies within the purpose of the statute. It is your duty to determine this question under the law and present the guilty parties to the court for prosecution. "In this inquiry you will not limit your inquiry to the conduct of any particular class of persons, but carefully scrutinize the acts of all parties concerned, whether they are officer of the railroad company or employes, and without fear or favor or Influence of any kind point in the proper manner the persons who have t ran? grossed the law and imperiled the best interests "tate- ln yur inquiry you may find that the parties have so associated themselves together in their conduct as to bring them within the law of conspiracy."

A. R. Y. Lender Sent to Jail for .Six MontltM. CINCTN-XATT. July 13.-Judge W. H. Taft. of the United States Circuit Court, delivered his decision to-day in the case of F. W. Phelan, Charged with contempt of this court in Impeding and obstructing the receiver of the Cincinnati Southern road, appointed by this court. In the management and operation of his road by directing and Inciting the employes to leav3 his employ, and by interfering with the business of other roads with which the Southern road has business. The court room was crowded and large numbers wers in the corridors. Many deputy marshals were in and about the court room, but their presence was not needed, as the utmost decorum was oberved. The decision was very long, requiring a full hour to read it. Tne Judge reviewed at great length the testimony which, he declared, showed unmistakably that Phelan came hre as the igent and co-worker with Debs to institute and direct a boycott determined on by the convention of the A. It. IT. to force the railroads to break their contracts with th3 Jullman company in order to compel the latter to treat with Its employes who. it appears are not eligible to membership in the A. It. U. Phelan's denial of personal agency had no weight with the court, owing to the evasive and flippant character of his testimony and In the face of the telegrams fassing between 'him and D.bs. as well as ds public utterances. lie knew the Cincinnati Southern road was in the hands of a receiver, and yet his first efforts were directed against it. The court found that he was the active agent here In an unlawful Conspiracy with iebs and others to paralyze the business of the United States, or, In other words, to starve the Nation ln order to force an employer into terms. The employes of the receiver had the right to join a labor union which should taKe joint action as to their terms of employment. It is of benelit to them and to the public that laborers should unite in their common Interest and for lawful purroses. P.ut this combination was unlawful, t was a boycott. The employes of the railway companies had no grievance against their employers. Handling and hauling Pullman cut-h did not render their service any more burdensome. They had no complaint against the use of Pullman cars as cars. They came into no natural relation with Pullman in handling the cars. He paid them no wages. He did not regulate their hours or in any way determine their service. Simply to injure him in his business they were Incited and encouraged to compel the railway comptnles to withdraw custom from him by threats of quitting their service, and actually quitting their service. The distinction between an ordinary lawful and peaceable strike entered upon to obtain concessions ln the terms of the strikers' employment and n boycott is not a fanciful one or one which needs the power of fine distinction to determine which U ! which, tlvery laboring man recognizes the one or the other as quickly as the lawyer or the Judge. The combination under discussion was a boycott. It was so termed by Debs, Phelan and all engaged In it. boycotts, though unaccomEanied by violence or intimidation, have een pronounced unlawful in every State of the United States where the question has arisen unle3 it be in Minnesota, and they are held to be unlawful In England. Hut the illegal character of this combination, with Debs at its head and Phelan as an associate, does not depend alone on the general law of boycotts. The gigantic character of the conspiracy of the American Hallway Union staplers the imagination. The railroads have become as necessary to life and health and comfort of the people of this country as are the arteries in the human body, and yet Debs and Phefan and their associates proposed by Inciting "the employes of all the" railways in th' country to suddenly quit their service without any dissatisfaction with the ierns of their own employment to paralyze utterly al! the traffic by wlleh the People live, and in this wav to compel Pullman, for whose acts neither the public nor the railway companies pio in Hie slightest degree responsible, and ovtr w-hose acts they can lawfully exercise no control, to pay more wages to his employes. The Judge having found Phelan guilty as chai ((!, said, in reference to ine sentence that it was the duty of the court to enforce obedience to its orders. To do otherwise would court anarchy. The penalty for contempt, aggravated as this was by a renewal of the contempt after warning, should be sulliciont to enforce compliance with the orders of the circuit. The sentence was confinement lor six months la th? Warren county jail, at Lebanon. O., and the marshal was directed to Immediately execute the order of the court. Ph lan was taken on the '2 o'clock train to Lebanon by two deputy marshals. At an Immense meeting of strikers tonight the chairman refused to permit any speeches except his own. He counseled patience and coolness. A resolution was passed to send an enormous petition to President Cleveland to remit or greatly mitigate Phelan's sentence. Ileltl lit Iluml. ST. LOUIS, Mo.. July U-Chief Deputy United States Marshal Nell arrived here to-day, having in custody ten strikers' sympathizers, arrested at Thayer. Mo., for obstructing trains. All were held ln bonds of from J.wo to $.".orto each. One of the prisoners, H. Garwood, is ex-Mayor of Thayer. He ailed the strikers in preventing the running of trains. II. Peele. another of the accused, is city marshal of Thayer. ( nlorailo Slrlkcr Srntf nrr,. DENVEK, Col., July 13.

July lC,-The news that President Debs had made a proposition to declare the railway strike off was received with surprise by the labor leaders here, as they had expected a different outcome and had contemplated exten ling the finht to all the labor unions in St. Iouis. Secretary Itelfgobber, of the KnUhts of Labor, President HofTer, of the Federation cf Labor. and others thought this would settle the strike fever in St. LouL. Chairman Gays, of the General Managers Association, sail: "I am greatly plea?ed that thh has lit ?n done, though far as St. Louis railroads are con-c-rnel the strike has Ken ended for several djy. The only way this action will affect us Is that the general resumption of railroad business will increase freight ' trades here and thu compel th employ

ment of more nun than are now at work. .Not more than per cent, of the strikers will b employed. Most of the roads have brought hundreds of men from Eastern cities an I all of theo who are found competent will be retained." l!y an order Issued to-day bv Vice President and General Manager Hayes, of the Wabash, the track forces on the line, numlering ab ut three thousand men. will go back to work, and the shoo- on all divi.dons. employing about one thousand men. will also be opened next Monday. Clerks and ottice men to the number of several thousand, who were thrown out of work because of the strike in all the large cities and towns on thf line, will alsv return to work. In addition to these employes returning to work, many new men have been employed during the past few days to take the places of striking employes The engineers and liremen who took advantage of the A. It. U. strike to go out in violation of their agreement for a restoration of the scale of wages in effect prior to las; September will not be re-employed. At Little Rock. LITTLE HOCK. Ark.. July 13. A statement published here that President Debs had declared the great railway strike off had no effect on the striking A. It. U. men. Notices were at once posted by th local A. It.

The force of idle men was augmented to-day by the car men, who struck In a body, about one hundred men i.olng out in sympathy for the A. It. U. men. A large force of militia and deputy United States marshals is still on duty at Baring Cross, but no disturbance -occurred to-day. A special from Conway says great excitement prevails there over an attempt made last night to blow up a railroad bridge. A stick of dynamite was placed under the bridge and was exploded bv a passenger train passing over it. Little damage was done, however.

Itelnll (lerku Speak. ST. PAUU Minn.. July 13.-In the retail clerks' national convention, to-day, the committee to which had been referred various recommendations reported as follows: "That matters referring to Independent political action be rejected. While we claim that amelioration can be had through the ballot box. we think that the interest of our organization is best subserved by ignoring politics entirely as a body, and this does not deprive any individual of independent political action. We fully agree that strikes and riots are not within keeping of American principles, and we oppose them." "We believe that the conditions of the wage-earners can be best improved and difficulties settled bv arbitration. We therefore recommend th indorsement of compulsory State and national arbitration throughout the land." The report was approved. Grent .Northern Threatened. ST. PAUU Minn., July U. The developments to-day In the railroad situation are on the transcontinental lines. The Northern Pacific announced that those employes who are still out would be given until Sunday noon to reclaim their places, which will be declared vacant if not filled by them. The Great Northern is threatened with a tie-up, the American Railway Union stating they would tie up that road if it carried troops "or munitions of war for the government during the present trouble. The Great Northern has stated, therefore, that it3 line is not at the service of the government for these purposes. JIusiness on the various raldro.ids centering here was being handled as usual to-day. President Connie Commended. CINCINNATI, July 13.

DEPEW ON THE STTJKE

POPl LISTS AM LAIIOIl AfilTATORS hi:spo.siiill: roit tub tuouilk. President llolm'n Selieme. aud Moult wiu Curried Out The Suppresftioii uf Disorder. LONDON. July 14. Chauneey M. Depew, at the request of that paper, has favored the Times with the following statement by cable of the general causes and real meaning of the labor troubles In the United States. The Times granted the Associated Press correspondent permission to cable the interview to the United States: "The labor troubles in the United State are due to the long-continued industrial depression, and this strike was caused by the ambitious effort of Mr. Debs, president of the American Railway Union, to absorb all organizations of railway employes into one. The success of the disorder and the delay In suppressing it were owing to the heretofore undefined loundary between State and federal authority. The linanclal crisis last year crippled many enterprises, and the uncertainties of tariff legislation which have followed prevented recovery and closed the majority of the mills and furnaces. This has made the number of unemployed greater than we have ev?r known. The abrupt and permanent curtailment of production and consumption has been felt in every department of American activity. From the farm to the factory every business has proportionately suffered and the distress among worklngmen has been correspondingly severe. There is universal unrest and almost frantic desire for anything in place of present conditions. "The Populist party found in this situation its opportunity, or rather the situation created the party. The idea which its members gather from its teaching is that liberty means the right to violate law and violently stop or seize railroads and industries, providing the lawbreakers are poor and are sufficiently strong to defeat or overawe the ordinary peace establishment of the community. In the States where this party is in power, strikes, lockouts, boycotts and suppressions of railway traffic lecelve direct assistance or passive permission from the authorfths. With these unprecedented industrial conditions and the anomalous political relations in a few States, the elements were favorable for what, ln Latin countries, would be revolution, and with Anglo-Saxons riots, at first successful, and then reason soon asserts itself and firmly enforces the law. The delay and disappointments in tariff legislation at Washington impaired the confidence of the country in the ability of this Congress to provide measures of relief or to discover its Incompetency and adjourn. An apreal to the country would lead, as every one believes, to an Immediate and decisive response. "Our railroads have about 175,000 miles of trackage and one million of employes. Among the employes the locomotive engineers, itremen. trainmen, switchmen and others have each their organization or brotherhoods. These labor organizations have become conservative wdth time, and their contracts with the companies are Inviolable. The locomotive engineers are the strongest and richest of, American labor unions, and their agreements, while not enforceable at law, are adhered to with scrupulous honor. DKBS'S SCHEME. "Mr. Debs was for many years a high and popular official of the IJrotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, and the editor of a labor magazine of advanced socialistic and somewhat anarchistic views. He conceived the idea of breaking up the existing organizations and gathering the railway world into his order. His scheme was attractive. The initiation fees were only $1 and the annual dues 25 cents. The order was to control the railways and coerce their managers. Debs was beginning with a million of dollars ln his treasury and possessing an income of $250,000. He made his first appeal to the switchmen and selected the Great Northern road for his attack. This line had been built paralleling the Northern Pacific, had forced the latter into bankruptcy ami could not alford a tie-up. After a few days the managers of -that line surrendered. Debs's victory surprised himself by its completeness and far-reaching consequences. East of Chicago and in the older and thickly settled States the old organizations stood firm against him. He must again demonstrate power. "Finding no real or imaginary grievances on any railway, he chose to make his fight upon the trouble between the Pullman car company and the mechanics in its Fhops over the construction of some hundreds of freight cars for various railroads. Debs ordered a boycott of the Pullman cars, and, on the refusal of the railways to break their contracts with the Pullman company and inflict nameless cruelties upon their passengers, he ordered their lines cloned. Trains were stopped wherever telegrams reached them, traffic ceased and business was paralyzed over about two-thirds of the area of the United States. The reliance of the strikers was upon the impotence of the State governments and the friendship of the local authorities. They could confidently count upon the co-operation of rival local politicians. The industrial and -financial distress gave them general sympathy, though their action intensified the suffering a thousand fold. "The results proved how well Debs and his assoelates understood the powerlessness of the States to control the situation. With the exception of three transcontinental lines, all our railroads are chartered by the several States. State laws have permitted consolidation of connecting roads, so that many companies run through several States, as one company under one management, but the portion of the line in each State is still wholly subject to its charter In that State. The State governments. of ten controlled by opposite parties, have no Joint or common action. Sympatny with striker? In Illinois at one end. at California, two thousand miles off. at the other, stops travel and traffic. State 'autonomy reached its perilous condition when the Governor of Illinois gave pr;at moral support to the strike by rebuking President Cleveland and virtually ordering the United States forces out of his territory. It reached its ridiculou.-s stage when the Governor of California requested a permit from the strike leader to visit his capital, which was contc mptuoLSly refused. AN ILLUSION DISPELLED. "The. popular belief has always been that the national government could not act in rcping riots or disorders until requested to by the State authorities of a commonwealth which was unable to cope with the insurrection. President Cleveland is sluggish, but courageous. Legislation followins the clvU war had Riven the general government powers unused and forgotten. Conarcss. ir enacting the interstat?-com-merc-law. has assumed to regulate commerce tetwt?n the States and unconsciously with it the responsibility to keep opni Intel st-iUr ll.it. as national highways. The President having satisfied himself as to his tonus did not hesitate in the performance of hi? duties. After President Cleveland's proclamation it required a few days for i he fctmrai public and the strike leadCIS to nra?p the Ilea that the President was in earnest, and the army and navy in motion when this Kisantlc conspiracy collapsed as suddenly as It had organized. "The losses occasioned by the strike are enormous, hut It Is destined to prove of Incalculable benefit to the country. The national idea has been strengthened and broadened. Snfe anchorage has ben found for persons and property. One of the hopetul features of the situation has been the unmistakable display of loyalty in the South. The o-called retel States unanimou.-ly demanded the intervention of the federal power to restore order before everything ele. We surrendered.' they said, 'to a government with ample power to enforce the la. ! and we will live under no other." "The far-reaching results of this short revolution can ! briefly stated. Interstate railroads are national highways, which the government will keep open at any cost, and a method will be provided for th settlmnt of differences with their employes. The general government will tmd a wav to prefect th ritizens of the States, who in a larger sense are citizens of the United States, from the cowardice o all State officers or their corrupt sympathy with the law-breakers. Every vested interest is more secure and the rights of every one nure sife. legitimate labor is better protected and more, sure of Its rights and of justice." Slirliicr Will Met nt hfinrr. IMTTSRUKO.

Ifonrl tided from 11 rat Pnc.) the Railway Union to stop the strike; hereafter tht-y must appeal to the railway managers. The burden of further troubles and loss of business mud rest on their shoulders. Mr. D:bs added that there had been no relaxation of the strike. It is on in force and would remain so until an affirmative answer came from the general managers. If such an answer wera received the strike would end in twenty minutes. He intimated that the union had reserve forces which it would call into action, and that they would b felt in their full strength If necessary. He' slid " labor unions were waiting patiently to be called upon to join in a sympathetic strike, and declared that twelve or fiit?en were to-day Induced to wait till an answer had been received from the general managers. CiiIIm It n Uii I r Offer. NEW YORK, July 1.1. The World this morning prints the following telegram from President Debs: "We have acceded to the requests of thousands of people not directly concerned ln the strike, but affected by it. to make a proposition of peace. We have responded to this appeal in a manly and straightforward manner. We offer to declare the strike off and make as the only condition that the men who went out be permitted to return to their former positions. We except, of course, those against whom there are any charges of violence. We make marked concessions in this offer, but are willing to mnke them in the light of the great industrial depression that has been u concomitant of the strike. We could make no fairer offer, nor one that more abundantly considers the interests of the whole people. It is now in the hands of the railroad managers. If they accept it the trouble is ended. If they refuse, we will renew the fight and follow it up to the bitter end. And if they refuse, we will then see what there is in public sentiment." FlfS I IT WILL GO OX. Sovereign Say lie Will Stand hy the A. II. 1. CHICAGO. July 13. Grand Master Workman Sovereign was seen this evening after he had received the decision of the managers association and the Federation of Iiibor. "Well." said he. "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 of 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 to-night, and we all agree that there is but one thing to do, and that is to fight on to the end, and with renewed energy." As to the declaration of the Federation of Labor, Sovereign aid: "It is too verbose to merit much consideration. It is far better as to its rhetoric than as to its logic. We are in a crisis. This document deals with theories; what we need is action. 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 dec'aration can have no effect on the strike. Up to this time these people have given us no assistance. The strike has just begun. I think the position taken by the Federation of Labor will only weaken their own forces. They have served others with notice that if they get into trouble they may expect sympathy only from the other labor organizations. And that is exactly what the3' will get. I believe the local unions will give us their support. This conference cannot prevent that. It is trying to force a, single-handed fight, and refuses its help In time of neeo. 'As you have meted unto others, so it shall be meted unto you.' I shall certainly take no official notice of this action of the Federation. I see no way but to fight it to a finish, and shall stand by the American Railway Union until they call the strike off." "Will, Die, ,.t;ame. NEW YORK, July lV. The World this morning prints the following dispatch, sent to it by J. R. Sovereign, general master workman of the Knights of Labor: "Tiie propositions presented by Mayo-Hopkins-to the board of railway managers at the request of the American Railway Union, in which it was proposed to call the strike of:' at once if the managers would consent to re-?mploy strikers without prejudice, except those guilty of unlawful acts, has not yet been answered. Rut in view of the intimation from reliable sources that the proposition will not be accepted. the joint meeting of the board of the American Railway Union and the Knights of Iabor decided that unless a favorable reply was received by to-morrow noon the strike will be renewed with increased visor and fought to a finish, and that the public will be asked to address no appeals to the strike managers asking that the strike be declared off In the interest of business of the traveling public, but that hereafter all such appeals be addressed to the railway managers. We have met them more than half way, and If the railway managers will not meet us in the same spirit we will exhaust every resource at our command, and die game If we lose." Fi:iFHAIi till AM) JlltV.

Judge Grcs?cup called the federal grand jury before him to-day and delivered to that body further instructions regarding the scope of the investigation of the -trike. The Judge told the grand jury that it is their duty to Investigate the railroads if evidence is presented to them that the roads have violated the law. The grand jury was called Into court Khortly before noon. After hearing a statement from the foreman that the jurors desired to adjourn this evening until Tuesday in order to return to their homes for Sunday and giving his consent thereto, the court said: "I have something more I want to say to you. It is my duty to give vou further instructions. No man is above "the law. The line of criminality is not drawn between classes, but between those who violate the law and those who do not.

l.AHOH WFAT UAI AT THIS SIMSOV jist m:vi:ti:i:n vkars ago. An FiiormoiiK Hnllroad MriUe- That ilutleil In the Vlot Dreadful Scene in American Labor History. New York Press. At this time seventeen years ago the mutterings that preceded the most danger ous strike In the history or the country were just beginning to be heard, and labor was girding up its loins for the most desperate and far-reaching, though not the most powerful, struggle it has ever made. The strikers fought madly, and passion and violence took the place of brains and craft. The chief cause of the conflict was a quite general reduction of 10 per cent. in the pay of railroad employes. lief ore July and August of that year were ended 1"0,000 men had been engaged in the strug gle, and two thousand miles of railroad fiom the Atlantic to the Mississippi, as far south as Baltimore, had been tied up. There Is food for reflection ln a compari son of the conflict of that memorable year to the labor troubles of the present. The great contest of IS77 began insignificantly enough with the strike of forty brakemen and firemen on the Baltimore & Ohio road at Baltimore on July 14. In live days the strike had stopped every wheel on the Baltimore & Ohio and had extended to the Pennsylvania road, and on the 20th Baltimore found itself stained with blood. The Sixth Maryland Regiment of militia had been stoned by a mob of strikers and their sympathizers, and without waiting for orders had fired on their assailants. A pitched battle followed, in which nine men were killed and forty more or less wounded. THE PITTSBURG RIOTS. The passions of the Pennsylvania railroad strikers at Pittsburg took lire from the fighting In Baltimore, and the events that followed ln Pittsburg were what served to keep red the memory of the strike cf '77. The Pittsburg strikers had proved themselves too powerful for the police to cope with, and on the 21st the First Division of the Pennsylvania State Guard from Philadelphia reached the city, the greater proportion of them being boys from twenty to twenty-five years. At 5 o'clock In the afternoon they had their first taste of grim war, for at that hour they undertook to clear a mob of roughs and strikers that, had gatnered at Twenty-eighth street. They were stoned mercilessly, and finally fired on their assailants. Sixteen of the mob were killed and many wounded, and the rest transformed into demons, burning with a fever of destructiveness and lost to all sense or restraint or of danger. They broke Into gun shops and five thousand of them came back to the battle strongly armed. Those who had no shotguns or rifles had clubs and stones. By midnight there were twenty thousand of them. They attacked a roundhouse in which the young guardsmen, to the number of eight hundred, had intrenched themselves. Three or four pieces of ordnance were trained on the besieged. The inexperienced gunners were shot down, one after another, with etill others always to take their places. Exasperated by the failure of the cannon to dlsJodge the guardsmen, the strikers undertook to- roast alive the men in the roundhouse. Oil cars were set on fire and pushed toward the building, but fell ediort of their destination; buildings in the vicinity were fired: the torch was applied indiscriminately to freight cars and to private property, and the firemen were driven off when they attempted to quench the flames. The night was lit up all about the roundhouse with a sea of flames, and the position of the besieged became desperate. The heat was unbearable, sparks were flying everywhere and It began to look as If the strikers would have their way and the guardsmen would be roasted out. A car loaded with coke was drenched with kerosene and sent flying down the track as far as the men dared go within range from the guardsmen's muskets. That, too. fell short of its destination, and. while the strikers withdrew to study new methods, the military, at 7 in the morning, took advantage of the lull, left the building and retreated, under fire, across the Allegheny river, where they disbanded. BLOOD AND DESTRUCTION. The success of the strikers only whetted their appetite, and the scenes that followed all that Sunday would fit the descriptions Dickens wrote in "Barnaby Rudre" of the No Popery riots. The mob devoted itself lirst to burning railroad property, and during the day some two thousand freight cars were destroyed, together with nearly every railroad building in Pittsburg, including the Union Depot, the total loss to the railroads being in the neighborhood of $10,0ou,Wu. All day men. women and children carried booty from the plundered freight cars through the streets of the city. At night the madmen who had been carrying on their work of destruction for twenty-four hours without rest renewed their strength with liquor. Drug stores and saloons were broken open and looted, and work was begun on the destruction of other private property for the sake of robbery and the joy of destruction. This aroused the citizens, who had hitherto made no effort to stop the lawlessness, and by Monday morning private companies were organized for protection, and with the assistance of the police the rioters, spent with their two nights and one day of lawlessness, were dispersed. In ail twenty-two strikers and three militiamen were killed during the riots. Lesser riots followed in Hornellsville, Buffalo, Columbus. O.: Reading, Pa.; Fort Wayne, Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville. Toledo and many other cities, especially in the West. A riot which took place in Chicago on the 25th of July resulted in the killing of twenty men in a battle between the strikers and a force of two hundred police officers. Even the San Francisco hoodlums caught the fever and brought about a bloody fight on the 25th. Fears of a riot In this city aroused by a mass meeting held in Tompkins square on the 2."th and at Cooper Union on the 26th to expresH sympathy with the strikers were not realized. The condition of the whole country was at a crisis on the 26th of July, but the strikers had reached the height of their powers' and endurance, public feeling was turning against them, and suddenly they wavered and gave way. By the 27th of July the country was safe from the gravest danger through which it had iassed since the battle of Gettysburg was fought. Nearly all of the strikers returned to work at their former wages. The miners' strikes and riots in the coal regions followed at once, however, and by the 1st of August Scranton, Pa., had become a storm center around which there were nearly fifty thousand striking miners, desperate because their wages had been teduced till It was scarcely possible to live. Many of them made not more than $1 a month, and the average for laborers w-us, perhaps, somewhat lower than that. Rioters seized Nanticoke. Plymouth and Kingston, and a riot took place in Scranton in which the Mayor of the town was wounded and four or five men were killed. Unlike the railroad strikes, the miners' revolt was generally successful, an average advance of 10 per cent. In wages being gained. A Point Worth Consider! iir. New York Independent. It is high time that organize! labor should be treated as organized capital was long ago and placed under responsibility to the law as a corpora to o.-g.-.niaation. All the mischief done b: irresp.-.iii'jle capitalistic trust? in twenty yais doos not amount to the wreck and wvtr of the anarchy of this Pullman strike. There is no good in single arrests here and there. The great crime against society is not done by individual rioters, but by organized labor wielded by Debs and his associates. The trouble is that irresponsible organization has been allowed. If labor is allowed to organize for Kiich pr rful combination, society must be assured against danger to life." liberty and property by requiring labor to organize under responsible managers and strict responsibility to the law. An I nncceptnlde Alternative. The Outlook. The American people have been increasingly restless under a system which puts the highways of the Nation under the monopolistic control of legal and orderly corporations, and the Outlook ha freely and frequently criticised thai system. Biit the American people will never exchange it for one which puts them tinder the control of a body like the American Railway I'nion. not recognized by the law, not obedient to It. and entirely oblivious of the interests, welfare and rights of the public. l!iw-. hiding; M en.

The farmers of the West have, for many years, been at war with the railroads, but they never resorted to lawless methods, and they can have no sympathy therewith. The man who sets a grip upon a piece of ground is tolerably sure to be found a law-abiding citizen in every crisis, and this is one fact the country can at this time contemplate with great satisfaction.

Three hundred Seattle ccmmonwealers who have been threatening tc seize trains here the past two days boarded a Michigan Central train bound for Iiay City to-night. The train crew permitted them to remain aboard rather than incur the danger of their doing damage to lives and property. The wealers had contracted with the owners of the steamer Flora at Detroit to carry them to Detroit at $1.33 per head, but failed to raise the price of transportation. WELLMAS'S EXPEDITION'. Fears that It linn Met with Disaster Oft' Spitsbergen. LONDON. July 14. A dispatch to the Times from Tromsoe, in the north of Norway, says that the yacht Salde, of the Royal Yacht squadron, touched at Danes island, on the northwest coast of Spltzbergen, on July 6. The yachtsmen found on the Island Professor Oyen, the geologist, who was left there by the American polar expedition under Walter Wellman to await their return and guard the depot established on the Island. Nothing had been heard of the expedition since their steamer, the Itaynvald Jarl, left Danes island. The Salde started on a search for her, but found all the routes blocked by ice. The yacht met an experienced walrus hunter. Captain Johannesen, coming from the northwest. It was his opinion that the Ragnvald Jarl had been beset by ice and crushed. Attempt to Destroy tin Ironclnd. TOULON. July 13. The authorities are investigating what appears to be the attempt of an Anarchist to destroy by fire the new French ironclad Carnot, which was launched yesterday. Just previous to launching the Ironclad one of the dockyard officials discovered smoke issuing from the hold of the vessel. An alarm was promptly given, and it was found that the Are had only just been started, and therefore It was easily extinguished. The flames had been started in a manner which leaves no room for doubt that it was a plot to destroy the ship. A large bottle of turpentine had been emptied over the woodwork of the hold in a manner well calculated to cause a rapid spread of the flre. Near the bottle a box of matches was found, and several burned matches were around the spot where the flames burst forth. It Is reported that one of the dockyards workmen, suspected ofbeing an Anarchist, was shortly afterwards arrested, and confessed that he and two accomplices planned to set fire to the Carnot. Two Girl As-nulled ly Officers. DUBLIN, July 13. The Freeman's Journal to-day publishes a startling account of a scandal which has occurred at Blerr, Kings county, the headquarters of the Prince of Wales Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians). According to the story, a fewnights ago some of the officers of the Leinster Regiment, masked and disguised, forcibly entered the rooms of seme female servants, assaulted two of them and then fled. The officers, in their flight, it is added, rushed past a sentry, who challenged them and. upon their refusal to halt, the sentry thrust his bayonet Into one of them and shouted for the guard to turn out. The guard turned out promptly, and the officers were arrested. The two girls who were assaulted have sworn to complalnis against the prisoners. Ann licr Plot AgHlimt the Cr.ar. ST. PETERSBURG, July 13. The police of KIrpatschnaja recently arrested a Polish student who was suspected of being a member of a Nihilist society. Upon searching his lodgings an English-made bomb was found. Further investigaton enabled the police to arrest another Ftudent and the latter's sister. These three arrests led to the discovery of certain documents of an incriminating nature.

On account of a quarrel, ending ln a terrible trapedy at a certain wayidde hou." near the city of Indianapolis, the press and public, during the excitement, have with one accord, and without due consideration, condemned all summer and amusement resorts within the city limits. As u-neral manager and amusement director, we deem it our duty, and for the interest of the proprietors of Pompeii I'ark, to l?sue this card to the citizens of Indianapolis. Pompfil Park was opened July 4. Rivlnjr what the froprietors thoupht and those who have o Iberally extended their patronage to us. a lonp-felt want to the people of Indianapolis. The public know that the pre, one and all, have agitated for a first-class mmmT and amusement report, where ladles, gentlemen, fathers, mothers and their children could spend the summer evenings with little expenditure, and where they would t free from rudeness and insults. We claim Pompeii Park to be such a place, and Kince the park has been oiened no complaints from any person or persons have been mide. The rules of the park are p!aceu In conspicuous places, and where visitors cannot avoid seeing them. Only one offense has occurred, and that was unknown to press or puhlic. Several gentlemen lehaved a little Indiscreet. The proprietors immediately had two of them arrested, and they were dealt with according to law. This alone shoulJ prove to the public that. the park Is for respectable ieople only. The proprietors have expended upwards of J-ViO't. built an elegant theater and laid out brautlful ground."?, which are free to the public. A llrst-class band Is engaged; also a company of well-known performers, and every day, from 4 to 6 p. in., the whole performance i given free. To prove that this statement Is correct, we have secured the signatures of several highly and well-known citizens, who indorse and vouch for the truthfulness of this card. iSlgned) G. II. Hamilton.
