Court Refuses to Discharge the A. R. U. Officials. Deciding That the Answer is Not Sufficient. RULING BY JUDGE WOODS. Contempt Charges Will Probably Be Sustained. Preparations for the Legal Battle Coming Which "Will lie Hotly Contested ly the Attorneys for the Dffrnir Forum I ion of n, .-vr Labor Vnlon Which Ulli Tnke Into Membership AU Trade and Order Officers Kleeted The Affairs of Ihe Strltchmm' AHooltiun. CHICAGO, July 24. Dobs and the ty.iiei- officers of tin American railway union met with a decided reverse today In their fight air.iln.st the prosecution fr contempt in the United States court. The court decided that the answer filed by the defendants is not a sufficient reply to the charge ot contempt and the motion of their attorneys that they bo discharged was overruled. Tomorrow morning1 the court will hear the evidence of the government to sustain the contempt charge, and the defendants will te given the cpiortimity to produce evidence in their defense. The argument in the case was finished ehortly before L o'clock 'this afternoon Rr.d tho decision of the court was anEounced by Ju Ige Woods after lie had conferred for a few minutes with hLs colleague. Judge Grosscup. In substance. Judge Woods paid: "The main point alleged Is that a contempt case like this is a criminal proceeding and the motion, is to discharge the respondents on the ground that their answer denying the contempt is conclusive. It Is true that a procedure like this i.s criminal technically, but not essentially. It is an incident in the main case in equity under tho? bill filed by the Jgovernment. No cas has been cited here in which the federal courts have Fustained the proposition put forward by the attorneys for the respondents. If anything should happen to change our minds during "the further course of the case the defendants will have th- benefit of the change. As it Is now we are tontent to rule that the answer is not complete; as the case is to be further examined it Is well that all questions be kept us free as possible from opinions from the court and we will, therefore, not give any extended opinion." Judge "Woods then asked the attorneys In the case to state how long it would require to hear the evidence on the charge of contempt. As he did not wish to remain in the city he suggested that the matter be referred , to a master In chancer' to take testimony. The suggestion met with the favor of the eounFrl for the defense, but the lawyers for the government opposed it. Mr. Milchrist paid the evidence for the jrovernment could be all presented in a niay at the most, while Mr. Gregory suggested that the case hi given to a master with orders to report in thirty days. The court finally decided to go on with the case tomorrow morning, with the understanding that if it did not make rapid progress it might be sent to a master at any timo. During the discussion Edwin' Walker, special counsel for the government, made the suggestion that it was within the power of the defendants to end the trouble by declaring the strike off. They are etill in contempt, he said, and th gov'ernment is in possession of information that the injunction is still being violated. Judge "Wood said that if there are further violations of the injunction a supplemental information can be liled end the guilty parties will find themeelvrs in a much worse position than th?y would otherwise be in. Attorney Gregory denied that it was within the power of his client to declare the strike off or that r.ny trouble which may exist on the railroads is vlthin their control. "With that the 4 uVeet w as dropped. DEltS'S HI'. VI A HK A II LI? SPI'ECII. "Would Itnlher Hot In Jnll Thnn lit Frrc Inder .Indue "Woods' Kjiw. CHICAGO. July 2-j. At a meeting of the A. lt.

Toward the close of bis speech he, said: "I am under indictment all the way from San Francisco to Pennsylvania and from St. Paul to New Orleans, but I have not forfeited my right to free speech nd if Judge "Wood yesterday enunciated the law I would rather rot in Jail than be free mm.

President D-bs of the A. R. U. left for This home in Terre ILaute, Ind.. this afternoon. He will remain there until the convention of Aug. 2 in Chicago. dkiis at Trcimrc haite. Creeled hy nn Immense Audience In III tlwn Town. TEttHE HAUTE, July 29. Special. Packed like sardines in a box were the people who crowded the opera, house tonight to hear rre?ldent Debs of the A. It. U. at his home discuss the great eirike. The theater never held such a crowd anil hundreds were turned away. The utmost enthusiasm prevailed and when the A. It. U. leader appeared at 6 o'clock there was applause that lasted several minutes. Many ladies were present. There was a display of flowers on the stage. The aged father and mother of Debs and hii wife occupied a box. President Scholtz of the local lodge presided and introduced Debs as the greatest labor leader of the age. A mighty shout greeted this statement. Debs plunged at once into the strike. It was a crisis, he said, brought about (1) by the inhuman cruelty and oppression of Pullman toward his employes; (2) , by the railways deciding to Ktand by Pullman in his oppression; (3), by in understanding among the railway managers that it was neressary to crush the- rising American railway union, lie believed firmly in the principle of arbitration all Ms life and did not favor a strike until the gauntlet was thrown down and an effort made to crush organized labor. Although not In favor of strikes, there was a time when not to strike meant degradation and dishonor; this was thit time. There was not a star In the American flag, from Lexington, to Yorktown. that did not mean a strike a strike sgainst tyranny. (Applause). The existence cf all labor unions today was

an evidence of oppression in the past. Oppression gave them birth. The locomotive engineers, the parent of all railway organizations, was born on the Michigan Central road in ISC and its founder had told him personally that it was started because the men were treaded like serfs. Referring to Pullman. Debs said arbitration or investigation was the last thing Pullman wanted, as that would disclose a set of faet3 that would shock the American people. The workmen, he said, besides being reduced In wages three times the past year, were treated with suiKrciUious contempt, and the men only struck after three of their committeemen who waited on Pullman were discharged. It was work and starve, and they thought they may i3 wttH strike and starve. (Applause). He had no apology for the part the A. R. U. took In the strike. The Pullman employes were their brothers and It was not only a sympathy strike, but a humanity strike. Some of Pullman's acts, which the A. It. IT. would show up before the president's Investigation committee, would make a decent hyena hang his head in shame. It was the only strike in American history. Debs declared, that when a strike was ordered every man, woman and child working for Pullman quit. Debs declared the A. R. U. was not responsible for the rioting. He greatly regretted there was any lawlessness. He was no anarchist. He love I order and the American flag. He had the strike won fairly and squarely on the sixth day after the A. R. U. took hold, when the government interfered on behalf of the corporations and rushed forwaid its soldiers and its Injunctions. Whatever action might be taken at the coming A. II. U. convention the strike on Pullman would go on. There was no ending to them. Pullman must le whipped. He said that when a strike was ordered It invited lawlessness, but as there was never a .strike without a cause, why should not the corporations take their share of the responsibility of rioting? When sectionmeii were cut to cents a day. as they were on the Louisville & Nashville, the railway managers who made that cut were the real anarchists. (Applause). In concluding Debs said: "I have a feeling, my friends and neighbors, in talking to you that I cannot describe. A is a pleasure to return and hear your applause and your 'well done.' I have made mistakes, may always do so. but I Will always do what I think nearest right and shall always follow where my conscience dictates. If any penalty shall be in store for me for my acts during the strike I will accept It as a man." Of the future of labor Debs said: ".So far as I am concerned I do not believe I will ever again become identified with anv great strike movement. I will devote what influence I may have toward educating the laborer to use the ballot intelligently." SCW I.AHOIt IMOX.

An Orscnnlnlion Intended to In lüde All Kinds of I.ulior. CHICAGO, July 21. A new labor union has been formed, which, its loaders say, will include ail kinds of labor. It will be called the American labor union, and directors say it will take the place of the Knights of Labor. The declaration of principles say the directors have taken into consideration many obstacles that will be encountered: First will be the assailing of the characters of the prime movers by the so-called labor leaders, caused by the fear of disrupting older organizations and their leaders' pull with politicians, corporations and shysters of every" description. Second will be the task of convincing the masses that the so-called labor leaders are too numerous and are thriving on the hard-earned wages of the toiling masses, and that tho time has arrived when only onq "organization of labor Is sufficient, with one general head shorn of all power to precipitate the order into any conflict or strike. The A. L. U. protects its members to its full strength, sacrificing every member to meet combined capital with combined labor, under one grand brotherhood of men. Its motto is: "The cause of one is the cause of all." The late struggle of labor has convinced the leaders that united action must be used, and this action is to be left to the power cf the rank and file. Temporary headquarters will be at McCoy''' hotel. There will be chosen two directors from New York, one from Philadelphia, or- from Buffalo. cm. ram Kansas City, two from, St. Louis, two from the Pacific coast and one eaea from St. Paul and Minneapolis. The officers are: W. C. Walsh, president; W. II. Overton, vice-president; M. A. Coagley. secretary and treasurer. The ChUago directors are C. A. Kieler, YV. E. Kern, F. Hamilton, P. J. Grimes, F. M. Donnelly, H- E. Huntington, John Costello, Owen McShane, William Russell. Peter Kennedy, S. Frotherstone and C. I. Dahl. The cilieers of the new organization, say organizers will be put In the field immediately and the union extended throughout the country. Resolutions, have been adopted extending financial support to K. V. Debs and pledging co-operation to the A. R. LT. J. .S. McFadden. a personal friend of Debs, staled at Kansas City, yesterday, that Debs and his co-workt-rs are behind the American labor union. It Is the intention to include in this organization all labor of whatever kind not merged under the head of railroading. It will be affiliated with the A. K. l and doubtless be controlled by the same officials. THE WELLMAN PAR1Y SAFE. Their Steamer Signaled by XorirrK'o'" Steamer. LONDON. July 27. Carl Siewers. the Norwegian arctic enthusiast, tonight received a telegram from the captain of the Krling, a Norwegian sealer, which arrived today at the is'and of Trumsoe, Finmerk. Norway. The captain of the sealer said in his dispatch that near Amsterdam Island the Erling spoke the rtagnvoCdjarl, the steamer which was Conveying the Wellman arctic expedition to the edge cf the pack ice. The Ragnvoldjarl. in reply to signals, asked to b? reported at the nearest place the Erling touched at, e-aylng that all were we'd on board. The Ragnvoidjarl had been beset by pack ice. will eh had delayed her progress considerably. But Wellman and his party were then free of the pack !ce end they should now be well oa their way to the north pole. The Jackson (English) expedition, which passed Tromsoe yesterday, is fitted out very much after the manner of the American party under Wellman, with aluminum boats, etc., and they also will leave their ship, the Windward, at the edge of the pack ice and make a systematic, determined effort to reach the pole. .

The elder Hudson was wounded in the hand. Smith lived long enough to tell the other officers who came to the rescue the storv of the killing. After the killing che Hudsons lied to the woods, both heavily armed. As quickly as possible a posse was organized at Coalburg and" another sent from Ilirmingham on a special train, followed by troops.

The Ablegate Is nw n. Very llusy Man. WASHINGTON, D. C. July 2S. Mgr. Satolli had given practically no attention to matters that have arisen in connection with his attitude on the liquor question since the letter embracing his views was forwarded to Bishop Watterson of diocese of Columbus. The Rev. Dr. Papi, private secretary to the ablegate, has been away during the last two weeks, but is expe-ted to return within a month. As he is looked upon at the. archbishop's residence a-s an incessant worker, his absence has caused more than the usual share of work to fall to the lot of the Rev. Dr. Sybaretti, the auditor. For the greater ptrt of each day, since Ir. Papi left the city. Dr. Sybaretti has beer, closeted with Mgr. Satolli. attending to correspondence, embracing matters that have been submitted to the arohbi.-ho,-, by various members of the catholic clergy in this country. Owing to the pressure of correspondence, priests, as well as newspaper men. who have called at the ablegate's home have been unable to set; him or his confidential advisors. As a rale the priests have been met at the door with the request to call at some other time when Mgr. Satolli will be at leisure. The hours letween noon and 4 o'clock in the afternoon usually have been reserve 1 each day by th ablegate and his associates for rest, but now it Isi practically impossible to see him at any time during the day.

AN HONEST MAN REWARDED

CONGRESSMAN R ROOK MURE RK NOMINATED IN THE EIGHTH. The Convention at Covington Reaffirm the Fnlth of the Democrats of That District In Ills Political In. tegrlty Ills Manly Letter The Ilesolutions Atloptcd. COVINGTON, July 2,". Special. The Eighth district congressional democratic convention was held here today and E. V. Brookshire, the present congressman from this district, was renominated byacclamation. It was made a gala day for Covington. Preparation had been made by the committee and by citizens for a large gathering, but none had anticipated half the crowd that was here. The court room, a large hall with a seating capacity of about fifteen hundred, was packed throughout the session of the convention and hundreds were turned away. It Is estimated that the convention brought from 2,000 to 4,000 people to the city. The city was decorated with flags and bunting, and those who were unable to attend the convention were entertained in royal style by the citizens, who had provided ft band concert. The visitors were loud in their praise of the treatment received and went away expressing their pleasure at having attended the convention as well as at the result of the convention. The nomination of Mr. Brookshire Is locked upon as a positive sign- of success for the party in this district. The convention gave an opportunity for politicians to study the political color of the district, and it has been predicted by the most conservative among those who are familiar with the situation that Mr. Brookshire will b$ elected by a majority of from 1,500 to 2,000. Among the interested persons in attendance upon the convention were James T. Johnson of Parke county and George W. Ferris of Vigo county, the two republican candidates for the congressional nomination. They we-e undoubtedly on hand to gather campaign material from the expected dissension in the party in convention. They were, however, most beautifully disappointed, as the business before the convention was carried out with perfect harmony. The convention was called to order by Thomas J. Man district chairman, and the permanent organization resulted in the selection of Judge J. C. Briggs of Sullivan as chairman and Dr. W. H. Gillam of Parke county as secretary. All th democratic editors of the district were also chosen to assist the secretary. Judge Briggs came to the convention as a delegate and had no idea, of being called upon to act as chairman. He was, therefore, taken by surprise, but acepted gracefully and in a neat and timely address touched upon the issues of the day. He regarded the tariff question as a thing which was greatly misunderstood and hoped that by the time the campaign was over every voter would understand it well enough to know just where to place any blame which might be due on account of existing tariff laws. He stated that the tariff legislation which is assigned as the cause of the present and past financial stringency and hard times was in existence before the democratic party was in power and that the party could not be held responsible for it. Any reform which the partymight now be able to make would therefore be just that much more than could be hoped f-r from the party which legalized the McKinley bill. Judere Briggs reviewed the work done by the present congress and made some prophecies as to the future. He thought that by the time the campaign was fairly on there will be no cause for complaint at the fatlure of the iarty to fulfill its pledges to the people. The remarks of the chairman were received with a prolonged applause and wher. he again stepped forward on the platform and announced that the next thing in order was the nomination of a candidate for congress from the Eighth district and the name of E. V. Brookshire presented, the applause was deafening. Cheers followed cheers. They told how the convention would vote before it bc-ame apparent that there were to be no other candidates for the nomination. This was the fact, however, and the present congressman was heartiiy indorsed by receiving the nomination by acclamation. As soon as the convention had regained something like order the following letter from Mr. Brookshire was read: Mr. Ilrookshire's Letter. Gentlemen of the Convention Permit me very earnestly to thank you, anl throush you. that vast army of democrats whom you have the honor to represent, for the uniform kininess anl friendly and hish consideration which you and they have always shown ine as your candidate for congress. It Is with real regret that I forego the pleasure of being present In this convention, for we all know how inadequately we can exp"ess our feelings of gratitude on roper. But. sirs, let me assure you that I have no higher ambition than to serve faithfully and well the peorle whom I now have the honor to represent, and to return to them, when thty choose to have me do sd, the high anl honorable official trust reposed in me without blot or blemish. Knowing the condition of the public business, as you do tnrough the pres.-. it would hardly seem necessary for me to remind you that now would hardly be an opportune time for me to leave my post of duty at (he capitol. Several of the large appropriation bills are now being returned to the house from the senate for further conspiration, ani I should not be astonished if the tariff bill is finally disposed of this week. Due to sickness and other reasons we may lind It difficult to procure a quorum in the committee on appropriations, of which I am a; member, and, furthermore. It mischt be very important indeed for our party to have our democratic representatives generally present this week. I judee this is surlicient explanation of the reasons which impel me to remain at the capitol. However, If you make me your candidate, and I am returned to congress, I promise, as I have done in the past, to apply whatever ability I possess to a. faithful and painstaking discharge of the duties of the trust; and when my legislative duties are ended at the capitol for this session I propose to return home at once and to make a thorough canvas of our district for my party and for the nominee of this convention. Our .party has done well in the face of prreat difficulties. I think that within the next .tweniy days we will have rid the statutes of our country of some of tne most objectionable! legislation ever enacted by any political party In this country. "When we have passed a tariff bill at this session, which reduces the tariff taxes upon the common necessaries of life use! by the masses of our people and the poor, to a point which leaves but little or no taxes upon the common necessaries of life, we will have certainly, done an important work. And, moreover, when we have lifted over fHOHa of burdensome taxation from the shoulders of the common people and placed it on the incomes of wealthy individuals and corporations, we certainly will have taken a most important step indeed. The value of this legislation can only be measured, my fellow-countrymen, by the intensity of the opposition to Its enactment into law. "You have observe! the democratic party, through its representatives In congress, during the past year waaiiis the most terrific and difficult right against monopolistic greed and organized wealth ever witnessed in the history of the world. This may deem tj be puttintr it strongly, but I believe with all my soul that it 'is true. This Is the greatest struagle of the nineteenth century'i to make wealth bear Its Just proportion of taxation and to remove rhe onerous burdens of taxation from the shoulders of the laboring masses and the poor. Moreover, as part of Hhis scheme of reform, we have repealed the federal election laws, which have heretofore interfered sa alarmingly with local self-government and home-rule in the states. We da not propose that wealth and power shall exercise from Washington control over the elections of the people. "While there ira numerous other great questions with which we are now dealing, which look to the equalization of taxation And the ijreater freedom cf trad and a Uxgsr Individual

(From the Secretary of the International Bimetallic League.) BOSTOX. April 12. 1S94. My Dear Sir I have to thank you for ihe copy of the pamphlet called the "World's Silver Question." which you have been so polite as to send me. I need hardly say that I have read It with interest and profit. I know of no one who has so luminously developed the history of recent coinage, and your work is a storehouse of Information not easily to be found elsewhere. For my part I do not and cannot understand how any human being can read such a statement as yours and not be convinced; to me it seems absolute demonstration. As to remedies you propose they are, of course, the question in debate. For my part the advantages of an international agreement seem so great that to obtain one is worth a great sacrifice. Very truly yours. BROOKS ADAMS. J. P. Dunn,-Esq., Indianapolis. liberty for the citizen and the retrenchments of public expenditures. 1 feel tha- I have alrealy trespassed upon your time. Gentlemen, you will pardon me for making a sinir suggestion t' you concerning ye;ir deliberations this day. Th'.s suggestion I make as a member of our party, and not as your representative in congress. I hope this convention will announce to the country a strong platform of principles, c. early defining our position without equivocation. Our party has a record of which u may well be proud. I think nothing is gained by indecision; b't us take a bold, brave and honest stand .ri favor of the principles of oor party and its recori; tin 1 let our position up n tne questions before the country be clearly and forcibly stated. There is m reason why we should not make the most aggressive campaign In ih- history of cur party, for we have the arguments and the position necessary to comment the situation. In taking my leave of you. atrain permit me to thank you and ail the peopl of our district Irrespective of their poetical affiliations f"r tiie very great kindness and respect with which they have treated tne. In fact. I can sr-arr-iy believe that any man in public lif hns hen treatel to a more friendly consideration than I. Anil this affectionate rtvarl by the people of our congressional district I shall always cherish us a valuable anl delightful memory. Believe m-. sirs, very respectfully, your obeJient servant. E. V. BROOKSHIRE. The Ileaailutiuns. We, the democrats of the E:ghth congressional district of Indiana, in convention assembled, take pleasure in T-enewliig our adherence to democratic principles. We have an abiding faith in the ability of the j democratic party to emancipate the people from vicious partisan oppression, from class legislation, from willful extravagance, from spoliation, from restrictions upon individual liberty, and from corporate and monopolistic greed, which have been imposed upon the people during the third of a century of misrule by the republican party. We belive that the honorable endeavors of tho true, unselfish and patriotic nitn of our party, who through all these years have assiduously labored ujon the sid of the ttklsss, are now beating and w.H bear their just fruition, however difficult tiie task of thorough reform may le. This country does not belong to the monopolist; it belongs to the people, anl the democratic party will put It under the perfect, control of the plain, honest people.. 2. We assert that the derangement of business, and for many years past the oftrepeated dist urlKinces between labor and capital, the constant reduction of wahres, the unequal distribution of products in economic operations, and the gross and palpable disparity in social conditions, especially the placing of the wealth of th country in the hands of a comparative few, have resulted from the class legislation of the republican party. Th Xlj-Kin-ley bill is still in force. We think its na"tment in IM) tended very rapidly to impair international exchange of commodities, narrowed the market for the farmers' surplus abroad and reduced greatly and injuriouslv the revenues of the government; and further, that the extravagant appropriations of the Fifty-first congress were for the purjose of perpetuating this unjust and inlqu.tous piece of legislation, enriching the few at the expense of the many. When Pres.dent Cleveland went out of office in 1S. he left in round numlers a surplus of more than one hundred millions of dollars in the federal treasury. When he was aga.n called to th presidency on the 4th dav of March, lsi'l. he was eonfrontal with an actual deficit of over thirtv millions of dollars, nnd the country fast "drifting toward bus ness depression and financal contraction, brought on by many vears of burdens ma and unequal legislation. 3. We agaia Indorse and approve the declarations of the democratic national platform cf IM'-, that declares for the use of both goid and silver, w.thout discriminating against either metal, and we favor the coinage of both at the true democratic ratio.'lf to 1. 4. We appr.ove the action of congress tvn the sublect of the tariff so far a the name tends to a substantial compliance with the demands of the dem acratie nitional platform of ISO?. We heartily Indorse the reduction of the excessive duties upon finished mHJiu fact tired pr.xtucts to a point where there will be but little or no tax upon the common necessaries of life used ly the masses of our jieopie. And we especially congratulate our party and the country on tne income tax feature, which proposes at one stroke to remove thtrtyflve millions of burdensome taxation from the common necessaries of life, u-d hy the masses and the pwr, and the placing of the same upon the brge incomes of individuals and corporations, ß. All the obligations of th government circulating as money should, in our Judgmen i. oe suojeci to locai wjiauuii j vun money and property is taxed; therefore, we congratulate the national house of representatives on the recent passage of a bill providing for the taxation of greenbacks, by which legislation wealthy tXpaysrs and largos banking1 concerns will b
