" su.-h were tho roinarUs mado by l'rvidont lCiigon- V. Dobs of tho Amerioun Kailway tinhm to a 1'nitod l'ross reporter yesterday aftoraoon. Mr. IVi's bud just received tho nows of tho trouble at tho stock yards and the arrests at Hlue Island. He severely condemned the eourso pursued liy the rail way managers in misleading tho government otlioials and causing them to order tint the regulars to protect trains and ovenvwe the strikers and their sympathizers. "I deprecate the action of the authorities in yielding to the wishes of the managers. Our men have in no way acted riotuously and the city ami county otliccrs will boar me out in the .statement that they have at all times been able to control the fow hot-heads who. cither as outsiders or in disolH?dieuee of strict orders, have acted an unlawful part. They know as" well as 1 do that there was no necessity for government troops, and as 1 understand it neither Chief llrenuunor Mierit tiillviji have hesitated to condemn the action and assort that they were utnply abb- to preserve the peace and property at any and all times. It is simniv a scheine n the part of the managers which w ill fall now as it has in the past. It is unfortunate that the condi1 lis have become stu h as to force the ti c lalM:ring people into active resistance to the eiuruaoluuents upon their personal right-; bnt it is corporation greed ana avarice alone that has brought us to the verge of a revolution. If blood is shed in this strugglo it will be tlie managers and the officials who were misled by them who are to blame. Matters have long leen working to this climax, and unless something is speedily done I look to i-ee the country plunged into a desperate struggle, from which labor will rise victorious and the American lalorer will once more be placed upon hi.s just and rightful throne as a free man. "Yes, I certainly fool the responsibility resting upon me In this struggle and it is but natural that I should liave an anxiety us to what may precede the final result which cannot but Iks in our favor. Hut we cannot recede. A recession on our part would mean the absoluteenslavement of the American workingmen and his complete and utter degradation for all time to come. And I would rather be dead than live to see or experience such a fate. No, it. is impossible to think of receding. "Yes, I do lx-lieve there is a chance to bring about a .-ettlement of the trouble before the final struggle is on. I th'nk there is a probability that the tri uLle may In- averted. 'It rests solely -with others than ns to bring it about, however. One thing is certain. The general managers must and shall succumb. The business men and stockholders have awakened to the seriousness of the situation, and 1 have no doubt from this on will take a more active part in forcing u, settlement. When they realize the position taken by the managers they will insist upon a recession upou the part of those gentlemen, and it is unnecessary to state that such pressure cannot be resisted even by a feneral managers' association. The managers have planned to bring about the very state of aim irs now existing, and thus ha able to take refuge behind the power of the government It is through their machinations and false ivpn vitiations that federal troops haV'- Won ordered oiu. and not bo-can-of any overt or unlawful act on tin art of the people. The presence of troops so far as our own men is concerned does not worry me in the least nor will they until some ill-advised action on the part of the officers or the authorities precipi tates n conflict f.-hichwtU be the signal for more serious trouble by far than that occasioned by any act of tho American Railway union. "The truth regarding the alleged riots and disturbances has become known to the greater part of the country by this time, and the plan of the managers to array public opinion against us has utterly failed: in fact it will surely react upon them. There never was a strike of such projKirtions before nor wuh there ever one more uiet and orderly, yet the reports sent out through partisaim have led to the impusslon that Chicago is at the mercy of a mob of dangerous men racing and sacking building's .Hi destroying railroad property. I .i- uri-semv of a few troops will i .t annoy our members except t c '.-.gh the unjust and wilful od." atious cast upon them, and v b.'-h every ti'tti American citizen will re "tit to hin utmost. No member of o-ir union has had any occasion to resort to violence. We have grown stronger day by day as the manager haw grown weaker, despite their boasts, and not half of our strength da - yet Won displayed A million of men stand ready to juit work and unite in the- struggle for justice and idxrty whenever called upon to do so. 1 do not believe that it will be necessary to call upon them, ns I am inulined to believe that u settlement will W cilectod

'So far as the injnntions served upon mo and the other officers of the union arc concerned, wo are not troubling oiirselVe-i about that part of the managers' game. Wo have violated no law. and eato nothing for the action which was taken really In order that tho managers might have a legal excuse for catling out the troops. After the service of the papers, and before any violence whatever was done, the general managers rushed to the authorities with the statement that the injunctions had not been observed, and that federal protection was imperative. "I earo as little for the proposed grand jurv indictments as I do for the injunctions. I have ordered no boycott or strikes personally, and have merely acted as tho servant of an organization. I will fight for the union to tho last, and, as 1 have no intention of violating the laws' of tho couutry, I stand in tu. fear of the federal grand jury, j The action is instigated by J the managers. What do you think of j a pro-ecuting attorney who had to bo told to indict or prosecute violators of the law. If I have violated the lawwhy does not the proper otllcer arrest me and try me on hisown responsibility instead of at the instigation of others. I have no idea what the result of the proposed grand jury session will be. but it is not of half the importance to mo just at present as other and more pressing business." 1 'resident Debs said further that, in company with Vicx-rresident Howard and Director William Hunts, who have been selected to act for the board, he will call up in Mayor Hopkins at the hitter's request at 11 o'clock today, when it is expected to meet with the council untnmltcj. and in all probability with representatives of the (leneral Managers' association. As yet the union ntlleials are not looking upon the mooting as anything but one called in order to meet the council committee, and not until the managers are present will any other view bo taken. The expected action of Attorney Milchrist in calling a special session of the federal grand jury under instructions from Washington to indict President Debs and his associates under a section of a federal law which can be made use of. is looked upon with much foreboding and doubt by the more thoughtful and conservative. The dangers arising from an arrest and detention of Debs are regarded as too serious by many. It is well known that the president is looked upon with respect, and they would use every effort to secure his release. Instead of subduing tho strikers, it is regarded by some as the very thing most calculated to arouse their feelings to the highest pitch and bring uliout a state of affairs which the government would have difficulty in .subduing. The railroads, by throwing the burden of the contest upon the government will have brought a most powerful pressure to War, but it is with alarm and misgivings that furiher action in that direction is looked upon. Already prominent and influential citizens arc at work in an earnest endeavor to avert impending disturbances, and if possible secure an amicable and agreeable settlement, (ireat store is set by the efforts of the mayor and council committee and tho meeting to-day is looked forward to with interest, although it is not thought that any definite action can be secured at the first meeting.

Fugone V. Debs, president of the American Hallway union, yesterday issued a long statement in justification of the great strike of which he is the cent ml figure. The article is addressed "To the public" and roads as follows: The Pullinuii employes wh struck on Muy fl hist dUI so entirely of their own mvord. Tho oflloers of the American Katlwuy union used nil their liilhietu-o to pacify thu employes ami mtvlM'il them rcH'itledly not to strike, hut to hour put loutly their tfrtovaiices until n peaceutile settlement could ho effect oil. To thu truth of this stuiomeiit tho unployes themselves will tK-ar m Min; testlmoiiv. Hut the Brlevfuieos of tho omploves. men mut women, had become so luvnivated. o pillltu;, thai patience diverted them and they nh:miloued iholr employment raihor than submit lonKcr to conditions uirilnst which their very souls u'belled. Thu l'ulliunn company, ho It understood, onus tho town of Pullman, owns tho houses, tho homes of the employes, controls tho hl and water und other ncc jssarlei of lifo, und wuevs uro no adjie.toit to livinc exnouses Hint lu a Innre majority of cases tho

employes are barely able to support their families. At tho time they struck the employes were lu arrears to the l'ullmau company -0.-0) for rout alone. Waires hud been roKutoiUy reduced, hut rent und othcrcsiHMiscs remained the same. The employes fnm tho betrlniilui! have been wllllnir to arbitrate their differences with tho company, hut the company arrogantly declares that thorn Is nothtnjr to arbitrate. If this bo true, why not allow n board of fair and Impartial arbitrators todoterinlno the fact? Committee after committee waited lipon tho offlccrsof tho l'ullmaii eoiapuuy, but all their advances wore repelled. Finally, on June 15, tho dolejrates to tho American Railway union, representliur 455 local unions of railway employes, located on tho principal line of American railway. dNcusstd the Pullman trouble at Chloaco. und as a last resort tho delecates determined that unless tho Uiillman company would airroo to do justice to iholr employes within live days the members of the order would decline to haul Pullman cars. This action, be It remembered, was not taken until the strike had been on six weeks. Up to this point the trouble was routined to the l'ullmau company and its employes. How then did tho stritte extend to the railways? Let tho answer lo plven lu accordance with the facts. Tho dav before tho order of tho delegates declining to haul Pullman cars went Into effect the ( leneral Managers' asMKMatlon. roprosentliur the principal western railways, met and jase,l a series of resolutions, declarinu'. In substance, that they .mid uphold the l'ulluian company lu Its ilirht upon the employes, that they would haul l'ulliunn cars, und that they would stand together lu crusuluir out tho American Kailway union. It will thus ho seen that tho railroad com panies virtually Joined forces with tho Pull man companywent Into iiartnershlp with them, to defeat tholr half-sturod employes. In Hits way tho trouble was oxtonded from railway system to railway system. The buslnus of the country Is demoralized toanextont that dellos description. To sav that thu situation Is alarmlmr is entirely within tho bounds of prudent statement. Kvcry Kood citizen must view the outlooU with crave concern. Something should, somcthliur must ho done. The American lHiople are peace-loving peoplo they want neither anarchy nor revolution. They have faith In their Institutions they believe lu law and order they believe in irood Kov'ernmeut; but they also believe in fair play. Once aroused they will not tolerate arbitrary and dletutorlr.1 dellance. even on tho part of an alliance of rich and powerful corporations. What can Iw done to dispel the apprehension that now prevails, and restore peace and contldctice Tho American Hallway union, by whose authority, and lu whoso behalf, this statement Is made, stands ready- has from tho beginning stood readyto do anything in Its power, provided It Is honorable, to cud this trouble This, briefly stated. Is the position the or ganization occupies. It rdmply insists that the l'ullmau comiKiny shall meet its employes and do them justice. We guarantee that the latter will accept any reasonable proposition. Let them agree as far as they can, nnd where they fall to agree let the points in dispute bo submitted to arbitration. The question of the recognition of the American Hallway union or any other organization Is waived. We do not ask, nor have wc ever ask eil. for recognition as an organization. We care nothing about that, and so far as wo are concerned, it has no part In the controversy. Let tho officers deal with the employes without reference to organization. Let the spirit of conciliation, mutual concession and compromise animate and govern both sides, and there will he no troublo In reaching a settlement that will be satisfactory to all concerned. This done, let the railway companies agree to restore all their employes to their situations without prejudice, and thu trouble will bo ended. I have now clearly nnd briefly as possible stated tho jKisltlon of tho American Hallway union as It was at the beginning of the trouble, ns It Is now. We havo boon deliberately and maliciously misrepresented, but we have borne It all with unwavering faith that tho truth will llnally and powerfully prevail. Wo lirmly believe our cause Is just, and while wc hold that belief we will not recede. Were wo to sacrifice tho multiplied thousands of wagcworliers who have committed their interests to our Iiands. and yield to the pressure of certiorate power, wo would bo totally unworthy of American citizenship. It has been nskod. what sense Is thcro In sympathetic strikes? Lut tho lorporatlons answer. Whon one Is assailed all go to tho rescue: they stand tho ground, they . supply each other with men. money und equipments. -Lahor, In unifying Its forces, simply follows their example. If Hie proceeding I vicious nnd Indefensible let them first abolish It. In this contest labor will stand by labor. Other organizations will not bo called out. but they will go out. and the spectacle of Mr. Pullman, fanned by tho hi cozes of tho Atlantic, while his employes aro starving. Is not calculated to prevent their follow wage-workers from going to their rescue by the only means at their command. L"t mo repeal that we stand ready to do our part toward averting tho Imjiendlng crisis. Wodo not want ofJIclal" recognition. All we jsU Is fair play for the men who have chosen us to represent them. The statement closes with these words: If the corporations refuse to yield and stubbornly maintain that thcro Is "nothing to arbitrate." the responsibility for what may ensuo will he upon their own heads, and they cannot escape Its penalties.

Originally a class of priests among the Persians und Medes, who formed the king's privy council, and who cultivated astrology, medicine and occult natural science. They are frequently referred to by ancient authors. Herodotus speaks of them as a priestly caste of the Medes, and as interpreters of dreams. Afterwards the term was applied to all eastern philosophers. Schaff. They are men of rank and wealth and learning from the fur east, representativesof all that is best in the old civilizations of the world. Sadler. Daniel became president of such an order in llabylon (Dan. 'J:s). The (Jospel does not tell how many in number these wise men were, but tradition has made them three, from the number of their gifts, and represents them as kings "three kings of the Orient." llede. indeed, is able to tell us that Mclcher was an old man, with long white hair and a sweeping beard, and that he gave tho gold as toaking: that Caspar was a ltcardless youth, with a. ruddy face, and that he presented the frankincense as a gift worthy of (lod; while llalthasar was a swarthy, strongbearded man. and gave the myrrh for tho burial. "I'rotn the east:" Herein the plural, referring to the eastern regions, probably Persia, since the Magi were the priestly caste of the Zoroastrlan religion, the religion of Persia,

and hence were not idolaters, but worshipers of the one t!od under the emblem of fire. The lircpectation of the Messiah in the World. In the far east the Chinese, the Japanese and other kindred nations have cherished an immemorial tradition that (Jod was to descend upon earth in visible form, to enlighten men's ignorance in person and redeem them from their sins. We uro informed by Tacitus, by Suetonius and by.Iosephtis. that there prevailed throughout tho. entire east, at this time, an intense conviction, derived from ancient prophecies, that ere long a powerful monarch would arise in Juden and gaiu dominion over the world. Virgil, who lived a little before this, owns (fourth Kclogue) that a child from Heaven wuh looked for, who should restore tho golden age, nnd take away sin. Confucius, in China, at least H. C. 500, had prophesied the appearance of such a deliverer, and a deputation of his followers, going forth in search of hitn, were the metns of introducing IJuddhisin into China. Hut the clearest of all these prophecies was one by Zoroaster before 11. C. .100. The Xostorians say that Zoroaster was a disciple of Jeremiah, from whom he learned about the Messiah. "Zoroaster taught the Persians concerning Christ. lie declared that in tho latter days a pure virgin should conceive, and that, as soon as tho child was born, a star would appear, blazing, even at noonday, with undiminished luster. 'You. my sons,' exclaimed the venerable seer, 'will perceive its rising before any other nation. As soon as you see the star, follow it wheresoever it leads you, and adore the mysterious child, otfering your gifts to Him with the profoundest humility. He is the Almighty Word which created the heavens.' "Memoir of Mrs. Judith S. Grant, missionary to Persia. Whence arose this expectation? Without doubt from the Jews, who were scattered everywhere, with their Scriptures and their hopes, since tho lkibylonish captivity. Daniel himself was a prince, nnd chief among this vcryclassofwi.se men. His prophecies were made known to them; and the calculations by which he pointed to the very time when Christshould bo born became, through the Hook of Daniel, a part of their ancient literature. The ('milling Star.V. a. "For wo have seen His star in the cast." Seen by thum in the eastern countries, or 6een in tho eastern sky. Tho first was certainly the fact, but the second is the probable meaning hero. This must have been a miraculous star, for it went before them, and stood over the exact place where Jesus was with His mother. Hut, at the same time, the remarkable conjunction of planet at this time may have had something to do with it. It is natural that a miraculous lieing should be heralded by a miraculous star. His birth was a miracle; the angels sang at His birth, miracles accompanied II is life anil crowned His death with the resurrection. It is also natural that nature should show some sign at His birth, as the darkened sun and quaking enrth did at His death. I'KACTICAL Ht'OOKSTIOXB. V. 1.
