Mr. H. H. Dixox has been studying the locomotion of insects and spiders by means of instantaneous péhotographs. He finds that the limbs move together in diagonals. In insects the- first and third legs on one side move with the second on the other, the antennae moving with the first leg on the same side. In case of spiders, which have eight legs, the first and third on one side move with -the second and fourth on the other.

‘INocuLATION against cholera has been successfully practiced in India. Experiments made by Dr. Haffkine, recently of Pasteur’s Paris laboratory, secem to demonstrate that the anti-chol-era vaccine is a pretty sure preventive, He inoculated 116 out of 200 in a village near Calcutta, where cholera had been prevalent. Soon afterward there was an outbreak of the disease in the vicinity. Ten people in the village were attacked, of whom seven died. All the cases oceurred among those who were not inoculated. This record is a valuable bit of testimony to the efficacy of the anti-cholera vaecine. .

o TI.ED‘ lIP. i i SBpread of the A. R. U.'s Strike Against Pullman. - It Grows at an Alarming Rate—Situation . in Chicago—Strikers Record Their First Victory — Rallroads . Will Fight. . A GENERAL TIE-UP. CHICAGO, June 28.—At 1 o clock this morning the officials of the Illinois Central railroad gave out the information that their line from Chicago to New Orleans had been tied up by the secession of every switchman in their employ. All the towermen, switchtenders and switching engine - crews in Chicago and suburbs struck -at midnight. When the switchmen and tenders went out a mob which soon grew from 500 to 2,000 switchmen, Pullman strikers and sympathizers, gathered at Grand Crossing and stopped all Illinois Central trains but one ' that attempted to pass. They . also stopped the Pennsylvania trains. At 10 o’clock there were nine trains of the former road and six of the latter blockading the tracks centering at Grand Crossing. The switchmen say they have struck in sympathy with the Pullman strikers anl in accordance with the plans of the American Rail way union. . ' More Roads Practically Tied Up. CHICAGO, June 29.—Absolute and complete paralyzation of the railway traffic throughout the west was the condition of affairs that greeted President'Debs and Vice President Howard, of the American Railway union, on their arrival at the union headquarters. If ever labor officials had reason to congratulate themselves upon the successful prosecution of a great railway battle, Messrs. Debs and Howard could compliment each other. Reports brought in from various committees showed that every road running out of Chicago—except the Rock Island and ‘*Wagnerian’ roads—is tied up. The list of roads affected by the boycott is: :

Santa F'e, Northern Pacific; Southern Pacific, ‘Western Indiana, Pan-Handle, Monon, Grand Trunk, Chicago & Erie, Illinois Central, Baltimore & Ohio, Chicago Great Western, Wisconsin Central, Cincinnati Southern, Northwestern.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul bore the first attack of the morning and the Chicago & Northwestern was wheeled into the line of ‘‘cripples.” The Chicago & _Alton, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the Fort Wayne were also put on the strikers’ lists. When the Panhandle started its trains into the city over the Fort Wayne tracks the switchmen on that road went out in a body. They were joined by the tower men, and it was reported that the whole system of the Fort Wayne terminals was tied tip at 11 o'clock. = , :

The shop men of the Illinois Central, 1,100 in number, left at 2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, saying they would not resume operations until the boycott was raised or the employing companies refused to handle Pullman cars. - ; : Anti-Strikers. Considerable feeling has been aroused among the colored people of this city by theaction of the American Railway nunion convention, which drew the color line and barred negroes from the union while in session last week. A meeting of colored men was held and an organization known as the ‘‘Anti-Strik-ers’ Railroad union” was formed. L. B. BStephens was elected president of the union and all other officers were also elected. It is the intention of this organization to fight the American Railwa.y union, the president declares, and the members say they will take tfe places of members of the railway union should the latter go out on a strike. i

Situation in Chicago. ; Suburban service on the Illinois Central road was practically paralyzed all day Thursday as well as on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and other roads leaving the Dearborn station and the Grand Central. Mail trains entered and left Chicago with a near approach to regularity and no Pullman car was ' hindered. But the freight service of many roads was seriously endangered, many refusing to take any more perishable merchandise for shipment. The Northwestern and Illinois Central railways delivered all perishable goods, the officials in many cases acting as switch crews to aid in this work. The list of roads now affected is as follows. ;

Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Northern Pacific. Southern Pacific, Chicago & Western Indiana (Belt Line), Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St Louis (Pan-Handle), Louisville, New Albany & Chicago (Monon), Chicago & Grand Trunk, Chicago & Erie, Illinois Central, Baltimore & Ohio, Chicago Great Western (Maple Leaf), Wiscongin Central, Cincinnati Southern, Chicago & Northwestern, Chicago & Alton, Union Pgcific, Lenver & Rio ‘Grande, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Chicago & Eastern Illlinois, Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Union Stock YardB§ & Transit company.

S St. Paul Yields. Every Pullman car on the line of the Chicago, Milwankee & St. Paul railroad was sidetracked by the management of the foad Thursday and President Debs, of the American Railway union, marked down victory No. 1. When this action was taken the men of the Chicago, Milwankee & St. Paul were on the point of striking, but as soon as the notice telling the American Railway union ‘that the road had acceded to the demand that no Pullman car be hauled by the company was received at headquarters orders were sent to the employes to make up trains as usual, and do all in their power to aid the Chiecago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. In a short time the trains were moving out of the north end of the Union depot as though no Pullman boycott was in progress. Mobile & Ohio Gives In. ; Soon after the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul had given in a. report was received at headquarters from St. Louis that the Mobile & Ohio railroad had given in and would sidetrack its Pullman cars. The two surrenders coming together raised the enthusiasm of the strikers to the highest pitch. In the Far West, 5 Telegrams received by President Debs from towns all. along the Northern Pacific and SHanta Fe state that every man has quit work. No Pullman sleepers left Los Angeles nor San Diego. ' At Emporia and Birchfield, Kan., all men on the Santa Fe are out. From Billings, Butte City, Missaula, Livingston, Duluth, Little Falls and Ellston come the same reports. o G ~ Pool Yssuesn. : All the twenty-one lines entering

Chicago, have agreed to pool issues and bear jointly the expenses of the strike, whether the road is affected or not. They declare they will fight the boycott to the bitter end. - ' Steamboats Profit by the Strike. The strike on the railroads is diverting great quantities of freight to the steamboat lines which have rail connections on the other side of Lake Michigan. The Big -Four turned all its freight for Cincinnati and the southeast to St. Joseph, and the Michgan Central diverted freight wherever possible to the lines touching at its points on the other side of the lake. IN CARNOT’'S PLACE. M, Casimir-Perier Elected to Succeed the < Assassinated President. » - PARIs, June 29.—M. Casimir-Perier, president of the chamber of deputies, wag elected president of the third republic of France at the palace of Versailles by the congress of both houses of parliament. The national assembly consisting of the members of the senate and chamber of deputies, numbered 858. and Casimmr-Perier received 451 votes on the first ballot. The result was announced amid great cheering and the new president was overwhelmed with congratulations, among the first to extend these being M. Dupuy, the premier. -The scene was a very brilliant one. The election took place in the great hall or theater of the palace which has witnessed so many memorable events in the history of France under the republic, the Napoleons and the Bourbons. Here it was that on January 18, 1871, King William of Prussia, whose armies held Paris, was proclaimed German emperor,

The ministers formally tendered their resignations to' him. CasimirPerier requested them to remain in office. Itis doubtful, however, whether Dupuy, the prime minister, will retain office. It is expected, in the event of his' insisting upon his resignation being accepted, that the president will summon Burdeau to form a cabinet. ITALIANS FLEE FROM FRANCE. RoME, June 29.—Many Italian workingmen who were driven out of Marseilles, Lyons and Grenoble are returning to Italy. They tell of outrageous brutalities committed by unreasoning Frenchmen. They declare that ,many Italians in French towns have been wounded and that some have died of their injuries, but that the authorities are concealing the facts. Dispatches on the subject are being actively exchanged between Rome and Paris. : ; BANTO’S TRIAL SET FOR JULY 23. Lyons, France, June 29.—The trial of Cesario Santo, the anarchist assassin of President Carnot, is to take place July 28. cen A CONSPIRACY. . PARIs, June 380.—The police visited the lodgings of a man named Granier in Montpelier with a view of ascertaining his connection, if any, with the murder of President Carnot. It is alleged that about 4 o’clock Sunday afterncon Granier was’ heard to say: *‘By. this time Carnot must have received his account.” When the police arrived at Granier's lodgings they ordered him to surrender. With a quick movement Granier, without uttering a word, seized a laige knife which was lying upon a table and plunged it into his abdomen, falling dead at the feet of the police. The police are now certain that the murder of President Carnot was the result of a’ conspiracy between Santo, Laborie, ‘Granier and others to avenge the executions of Vaillant and Henri. -

It is said Laborie, who is in custody in Montpelier on the charge of complicity in the plot, has confessed to the authorities that the assassin, Santo, while dining with him last Saturday confided to him his intention to go to Lyons to kill President Carnot. <

MET AT DENVER. v Annual Convention of the Reéubuc;n Na- : : tional League. = . DENVER, Col., June 28.—The seventh annual convention of the National Re publ can league was called to order at 10 a. m. The Broadway theater was handsomely decorated for the occasion with the Stars and Stripes and a mass of foliage and growing flowers and was filled to overflowing with 1,500 delegates and representative republicans from every state in the union. The address of President Tracy was enthusiastically received. - The roll call followed immediately after the president’s address ‘and showed forty states and territoriesrepresented—the largest meeting in the history of the organization® Some of the delegations were very large. Before adjournment a motion was adopted that the president and secretary be authorized to prepare and transmit to Mme. Carnot and the republic rof France the sense of the league on the assassination of President Carnot. The motion was carried without a dissent-: ing vote. ; . G The Platform of Principles Adopted at the Denver Convention: ; The representatives of the Natlonal League of Republican Clubs of the United States, in convention assembled at the capital of the Centennial state, bow their heads in sorrow and humiliation at the spectacle of incapacity which the democratic party presents to our country and deplore the calamities which the giving of power to the present administration has brought upon our people. We congratulate the American people that this administration was compelled by public opinion to abandon its un-American Hawailan policy. S In contrast with the shameful record of the democratic party, we exult over the record of glory which the republican party has made. Its achievements and its triumphs, extending over thirty years, establish it as the most masterful and enlightened- political organization that has ever existed. ; In the face of the present disaster to our country it is with increased solemnity that we once mord renew our allegiance to the republican party and proclaim its cardinal priniples. ’ g We believe in a free ballot and a fair count, and we demand such legislation as will insure. to every citizen the right to cast one free balot in any election and to have that ballot honsstly counted as cast. It is a noteworthy fact that the democratic party in congress, consistent in nothing else, was unanimous for the repal of the federal election laws, thus openly confessing itself the party of fraud. . o We declare our belief in the doctrine of protection to American labor, American industries and American homes. We also believe in such reciprocal trade with the nations as will increase the market for the products of our farms, factories, forests and mines without increasing the competition which tends to lessen wages and degrade our labor. : ‘We denounce the proposed vicious and destructive legislation known as the Wilson bill; and earnestly appeal to the republican United States senators to prevent its passage by all honorable means, ) We believe in the use of gold and silver as money metals, maintained on a perfect parity and interconvertibility. We® do not believe, that there will be a permanent return of prosperity to our country until the full use and ‘highest position of silver shall be restored, and we favor such legislation as will- hring about this result. ; ~ The republican party is the constant friend of the soldiers and sailors of the union. The promises and pledges of the democratic party to the defenders of the republic before election were false and fraudulent and have been shamefully disregarded since election.
