THE STRIKE ENDED. Chicago Branches So Declare In Convention Assembled. fefen on the Santa Fe and the Chlraffo A Eastern Illinois Roads Still Out— Other Strike News-The A. K. L\ Resolutions. TV, CLAREI) OFF. Chicago, Ah#. 7.—With the exception of tlie unions on the Santa Feand the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railtoads the local organization of the (American Railway union, through Jthei r delegates in Uhlich's hall Sunday I kfternoon, declared the strike off as jar as Chicago was concerned. It explains the cause which brought the organization into existence to be the protection Bf railroad employes from the agressions and Impositions of their employers. No effort was knade to destroy tlie older brotherhood, the indention only being to bring about a more'perfect union. It says the employes of the Pulltnan Palace Car com taken into the iihion at their own request. The resolution scores the federal authorities as follows: • We regret to say that the federal government gave some color to the corporations' claim that the authorities were coming to assist them in a partisan conflict, both by the unnecessary sending of troops without warrant of law and without request of the constitutional local authorities, by the one-sided E,nd offensive acts of the public prosecutor, ate from a snug berth as a corporation lawyer, by the blatant mouthings' of the United fttatys commander, and the no less tyrannical Utterances of the president himself: that the workingmen throughout the nation so understood it was evidenced by their almost ttnaniknous action in supporting the strike, and it is to be feared that a greater gulf than ever has Ithus been put between the . people and their government." The resolutions are concluded with an appeal to the people to desert old political parities which have shown themselves equally inimical to the interests of the common people and friendly to the great vampire corporations of the land. These people are in this land of the free the sovereign whose peace should not !be disturbed and whose interests should be preserved. The sovereign people.should assert their right to rule. We. therefore, citizens of the republic, appeal to you. fellow voters of our common country, to support the party which bears the name of the sovereign people, which party stands.ready to pledge itself that when into its hands is given the government (disputes between employer and employe will be no longer the only exceptions in the various states and the nation/rom the jurisdiction of .the established courts. After reviewing* the prosecution of the officers of the union for conspiracy and contempt of court the report takes up the Santa Fe road and maintains ft hat the authorities are so busy punishing* workmen that they have no time to attend to the-Santa-JTe case. The decision to declare the strike off 'was in harmony with the action of the convention on Friday, which declared (that it had no authority either to order a strike ordeclare one off that had been ordered under the laws of the organisation, which specifically say that no fitrike shall be ordered excepting by a majority vote of the members of the (union on the system on which the strike is to take place. The striking employes of the Stock Yards company decided Sunday night to return to work. Will Continue the Strike. Spring Valley, 111., Aug. (.—A masa meeting of miners was held near here and it was imirrronsly decided to continue the strike for last year's scale. A, R. 1. Resolutions. Chicago, Aug. 7.*—The report of* the special committee on resolutions of the American Railway union which was submitted to the convention last Friday, -and which was referred to the board of directors and the lawyers of !thfe organization for revision, was completed Saturday evening and given to the public. Here follows a description of the town of (Pullman and the conditions under which the workmen are said to be employed, It is said fthat while wages were reduced the price of rents •remained .the same, and that at the time the istrike of the Pullman employes begun they ;were indebted to the comj any in the sum of 4J70.090 for rents. “Thus the workingmen," says Jtho resolutions, ‘ found themselves in worse -condition than did the workingmen in chattel ■slavery, inasmuch as they did not receive their jboard and clothes for their labor, but found (themselves in debt to their employer after .faithfully laboring for him.” On the subject of violence the report says that it is the belief of the railroad men that these acts were committed by persons jnontally irresponsible or else at the dictation of those who were the enemies of the workingmen. It is said that the only ones who could prollt by such acts were the railroad companies. FAIRS FOR 1894. Alabama. Southern Exposition. Montgomery Nov. ft* 16.

LOTS OF BAD BILLS. Secret Service Men Get Evidence Against Kaste/ii Counterfeiters. New York. A up*. 7. —United States secret service officers employed in the biff counterfeiting case are fill inff the office of the secret service bureau in this city with paraphernalia with which the band was producinff spurious wealthy The plant of the counterfeiters jiTßituated on a small farm at Bethel, Conn. The latest arrest is of John W. Murphy, who has been held for examination Friday. Saturday night last Lorenzo Hoyt, brother of Russell Hoyt, already under arrest, was arrested in Rethel, Conn., where he is now held. Detectives have been searching the premises where Lorenzo Hoyt lives for several days. They found £12.000 in one package. This was in SlO bank notes with the Webster head and were called good counterfeits. They had not, however, been put through what is known as the coffeecoloring process. This gives the spurious notes the appearance of having been in circulation. There had been found, also, a lot of bills that had been through the ‘’coffee-col-oring" process ami were ready for use. At Hoyt's house at Bethel were found all the plates, paper, ink, red silk thread and other articles used , in the manufacture of the spu- j rious money. The detectives are \ how digging .up the ground around : the Hoyt house to find the printing i press which is believed to be buried. J Among the plates found were the back and front plates and tbe United States treasury seal for a 810 on the Mystic River national bank of Mystic. River, Conn. The dies for a 820 gold coin of the 1802 series were unearthed. None of the money from these had been circulated. A large quantity of the fibrous paper of which bank notes are made was also seized. It is n<*>t known whether this paper is made in England or America, it may be made somewhere neaf the Hoyt premises in 'Connecticut. It is an excellent imitation of pa pen-used for bank notes. 1 GREAT RELAY RACE STARTED. Message, for Gov* Waite on Its Way from j Washington to Denver. Washington.

CHINA AND JAPAN. Story of the Great War Being* Waged In the Itast. London, Aug. 4. —A dispatch to the Times from Shanghai says that reports have been received there from foreign officials at Seoul that the Chinese, under Gen.

Shanghai, Aug. 6—Dispatches have | been received confirming the report that the emperor has divested Viceroy Li Hung Chang of the order of the Yellow Riding Coat, which is the highest order in China, allowing the wearer privileges next to the emperor. The emperor, the dispatches say, has freely expressed his anger at the viceroy’s having allowed Japan to get ahead of China in preparing for war. The act of the emperor in-divesting the viceroy of this'order does not necessarily imply his deposition from office. The action of the emperor in divesting Viceroy Li Hung Chang of the order of the Yellow Jacket has fallen like a thunderbolt here, as it is feared that the incident will lead to his complete overthrow, lie is regarded here us the only leader capable-of coping with Japan in the inevitable long war. London, Aug. 0. A dispatch to the Times from Tien-Tsin says: The preamble of an imperial edict, just issued, recites China's claims in Corea, its hundreds of years suzerainty to that country and theconstant assistance it has rendered the vassal king to subdue rebellions. China, it continues, recently sent forces to Corea with this object in vew. Japan without right also sent troops and refused to -withdraw them. She has further sunk a transport carrying Chinese soldiers, and her action has been condemned by other powers. The emperor places all the military authorities under Viceroy Li Hung Chang, who will protect the rights of the empire. He a'so orders the capture and destruction of Japanese ships wherever found. Shanghai, Aug. o.—The soldiers beheaded at Tien Tsin for desertion pleaded in extenuation of their offense hunger and exhaustion. Before they were executed they were stripped of their uniforms and their pigtailt were cutoff'. The example lias terri fled the army. London, Aug. O.—A dispatch to the Chronicle from Tokio says: “It is reported that there has been a fresh collision between the Japanese and Chinese troops in Corea. It seems that after their recent defeat the Japanese assembled their whole available strength and took the offensive, achieving a decided victory over the Chinese,” TO EXCLUDE ANARCHISTS.

SENATORS ARE INNOCENT. Result of the Work of the Sugar InveetSv gatln; Committee. Washington, Aug. 4. —Senator Gray, chairman, presented the report of the sugar investigating committee to the senate and asked that the committee be discharged. The main report is signed by all tbe members of the committee, but Senators Lodge and Davis present a supplemental report and Senator Allen also presents his own views on seme features of the case. The report, which has the approval of the full committee, recites the causes which led up to the investigation and quotes the article from the Philadelphia Press on which the charge against senators was based. Secretary Carlisle is exonerated, and the parts of the article reflecting on him are declared to be without foundation, “except that it is a fact, according to Secretary Carlisle's testimony, that he did, at the request of Senator Jones, of the finance committee, draft an amendment to the sugar schedule, a copy of which as described by Mr. Carlisle is attached as an exhibit to the testimony.” The-conduct of Mr. Edwards, says the report, in publishing specific charges against public men without having personal knowledge of the facts calls.for the serious reprobation of the senate. ON THE MEND. *Bra<lstreet*H" Sees Signs of a Revival in General Business. New York, Aug. 4.—“ Bradstreet’s” says of. the trade conditions: "While little significance is attached to the moderate improvement in trade at San Francisco. Pittsburgh. Baltimore. Augusta and Atlanta. when it is added that clearing-house totals for July report twenty-nine cities with larger aggregates than in Julv'last year, contrasted with the June report, which contained only sixteen cities with aggregates larger than those in June a year ago. it is perceived that there are influences at work at tho interior favoring an increase in the volume of business. ‘.‘Wool remains steady at. last week’s 1 cent advance, speculation having been stimulated by differences*>f opinion as to the tariff ’outlook for that staple. Wheat has advanced in sympathy with corn on increased orders and reports of erop damage from abroad, while corn's sharp advance is due partly to exaggerated notions of damage from drought. There is little likelihood of the corn crop being smaller than in either of tho two preceding years, notwithstanding our advices of 25 per cent, damugo in Kansas and 40 per cent, in Nebraska. Southern erop prospects generally are excellent. "Improvement,,announced in general trade at Sun Francisco is in part bused, on interest manifested in the war in Asia, provision dealr ers particularly anticipating largely increased trade. War between China and Japan has not affected the price of tea here yet. although au increased demand is noted in New York, Boston and at Chicago," NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA. Provisionsßills Admitting Them to Statehood - Reported to tbe Senate. Washington, Aug. o.—Tho New Mexico and Arizona admission bills were reported to the senate Friday. In the •ease of New Mexico a constitutional convention is provided for, the dele-' g-ates to which are to be chosen at an election to be held on the second 'Tuesday in June, 1895, and the convention is to meet on the second Tuesday in the following July. In ease they adopt a constitution it is to be submitted to the people for ratification at an election to be held on the Tuesday after the first* Monday in November, 1895. The time of residence necessary to become a voter is fixed at six months instead of sixty days as in the house bill. Arizona has already adopted a constitution, and,the bill in her case provides for admission August 1, 1895, and the election of a delegate to tho Fifty-fourth congress. OUTLAWS GIVE BATTLE.

A woman who can hold her tongue can hold any other thing: but one who wears her heart on her will let all other things slip through her fingers. Silence is self-preservation at every point. Too often a ready, sharp tongue is a fatal gift to a woman, and men fear it, for it finds out the rawest spot in their flatures and wounds them there. As for a bad tongne it is whetted on a bad heart: and women who willingly say words cruder .than blows have the weapon of an assassin. Nature may well shut in the tongue between the lips and behind barriers of sharp teeth, for if it be slanderous it is a weapon given by the devil and set on fire of hell. The property of such a weapon is to be cowardly. Dress is a legitimate womanly Weapon, but men have as great a claim to it, and it has played a part in human history of far deeper significance than cither vanity or love of supremacy. Some Daniel will yet com * to. judge the centuries by the way in which they have dressed themselves,'and in the meantime women will me it in all its changes and splendors as the insignia of their royalty. For the women who hold themselves superior to dress are awful creatures, and stand out among well-dressed women as sermons on slovenliness—a position which nullifies every other charm and leaves them defenseless. —Ladies’Home Journal. ’ Etiquette of the Hand, A lady never extends her hand to a a man whose acquaintance she is making. She mayor may not shake hands with a lady who is introduced, but she must not give her hand to a strange man. A low bow is the elegant form of salutation. A cultivated woman will not shake hands with any man, no matter how long she is acquainted with him, unless she respects and admires him. A gentleman never extends his hand to a lady first. To do so would be presumptuous and subject him to a snubbing. A man shows his breeding the way he eats Ills dinner; a woman shows her breeding the way Bhe receives people.—Chicago Tribune DUnioiut Polishes Diamond. The art of cutting and polishing diamonds is a very old one in the east, and the early jewelers of India and China knew how to dress diamonds by means of diamond dust long before European# did. It was a Belgian lapidary, one Berguin, of Bruges, who accidentally discovered in 1450 how one diamond can be employed to polish another. It wa# he who c onstructed the first polishing wheel, wherewith by ineans'of diamond powder he could dress diamonds as well as other stones could bo dressed by •mery- • N Y. World.
