Sioux and Chippewa Braves Cut Nets and Confiscate the Catch. They Take Forcible Posses- sion of a Plant on Garden Island. One Deputy Marshal Sent to Round Up the Trouble- some Reds. Mysterious Murder of an Un- known Man in a Montana KB Gulch. Special to the Globe. Winnipeg, Man.. Aug. 13.—The .sen- sational dispatch scut from here last night, concerning an alleged outbreak of Indians on Lake of the Woods, is al- most wholly false. These Indians have been complaining that the fishing com- pany—Reed & Co., of Buffalo— is de- pleting the lake of sturgeon, whitefish, pickerel, etc.. and have frequently threatened that unless the government put a stop to the company's operations they would take the matter in their own hands. Canadian Indians made such complaints and threats as late as two weeks ago to the agency superintend- ent. He warned them to commit no overt act, but to lay their complaints before the government, and to have the American Indians do the same. Reed & Co.'s fishing establishment is in American waters, so that the Canadian government lias no control over it. The Indians evidently concluded that it was hopeless to appeal to either of the two governments, and so donned their feathers and paint and went on the warpath. Quite a party of them went to Garden island and took possession of Reed & Co.'s freezer and boats and cut the nets. They informed the company's manager that he could have five days to remove the plant from the lake, and if he and his men were not away then there would be trouble. In other words they would be driven away by force. The Canadian authorities can do nothing and there are no American authorities in the neighborhood. The Indians know this, but itis not likely they will commit any further depredations. They are playing a bluff game, and it Reed <& Co. show a ; bold front they will come off best. Mr. Reed is in the city"appeal- ing to the provincial officials to inter- fere. He 'does not want to be com- pelled to resist by force. There are only seven white men on the island, but there is not the slightest danger of their being harmed. Hunters island is nearly 100 miles trom Rat Portage, the nearest aud only town ou the lake. Brachett Has Warrants for lio. Deputy Marshal Brackett will leave St. Paul the Lake of the Woods this morning, armed with warrants for the arrest of Indians, who, latterly, have been making life miserable among the Baltimore Packing company. E. T. Le Claire, manager of the company, stationed in the Twin Cities, received a telegram from the manager of the com- pany's fisheries in the Lake of the Woods, stating that there was a threat- ened outbreak among the Indians, and that they had taken possession of Gar- den island, one of the best fishing points in the lake. Mr. Le Claire first sought Gov. Merriam, and, in his ab- sence, laid the facts before Private Sec- retary Elliott. Mr. Elliottexplained that the county authorities should first be called upon for aid, and upon the latter failing to cope with the outbreak, state aid could then be invoked. He also sug- gested a call upon the United States district attorney. Mr. LeClair called at Mr. Hay's office. Mr. Hay was absent, but. in his absence, Assistant District Attorney Edgerton gave his attention to the matter. It was Mr. Edgerton who decided to issue the wan ants for the arrest of the Indians, and ordered Maj. Brackett's immediate departure to Lake of the Woods. Mr. Le Clair represented that the Indians were in possession of the property of the fishing establish- ment. The reported outbreak is among the Red Lake reservation Indians. A BULLET INHIS BRAIN. Mysterious Killing of an Unknown Man in Montana. Special to the Globe. Helena, Mont., Aug. 13.— About ten days ago two prospectors, while going through Bridge gulch, about thirty-five miles from Helena, came across the body of a man lying face downward. Investigation showed he had been shot in the back of the head, the ball lodging under the skin of the forehead. "The coroner held an inquest, and it was thought the man had been killed about three months ago. From letters found on him it was thought his name was Vebber, though where lie came from or who his relatives are is not known. This case attracts attention from the fact that it is one of a series of mysterious killings, which have been reported in Meagher county for the past two \u25a0 yews, ana which the county authorities seem to have made no effort to investigate. From a gentle- man who lives in the section which has suffered, and who reported this last case, it seems that there has been an in- sane man roaming around the country who went East about two months ago. This man lived in mortal terror of be- ing hanged, and was heard often to mutter "Idid not kill him!" Sheep herders and prospectors have beeii the victims of this supposed murderous maniac, and in consequence there has been no particular effort to apprehend the guilty party. Wedded a Minister. Special to the Globe. Hudson, Wis., Aug. 13.— Quite a so- cial event in Hudson this afternoon was the marriage of Miss Ella Hatch to Rev. Ora Lewis, both parties belonging to this city. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Burnley, and took place at the residence of the bride's parents. Miss Hatch is a recent graduate from Welsley college, and Mr. Lewis from the. Union Theological school, New York. He now occupies the position of assistant pastor of Pilgrim church, New York city. A large number of friends from abroad were in attendance. The pres- ents were many and very elegant. Anxious to Plead Guilty. Special «o the Globe. Ashland, Wis., Aug. 13.—Gray, the Lake Shore baggageman who stole $3,000 in money consigned to a Rhine- lander bank, some three weeks ago and was arrested in Canada, was brought here last night. This afternoon he ex- ' "'-:\u25a0. nffiy pressed a willingness to plead guilty, and as soon as an indictment is tiled will do so. The. United States Express company recovered from him §2,127 of stolen money. Gray served a year in state prison from 1882 to 1883 for steal- ing a watch. Ji :XXy.:X.X : HE MADE DULUTH FAMOUS.

Alexrnder, of Washington, as presi- dent; Lieut. Col. William O. Drew, also of Washington, as vice president, and Nathan Newhall, of Maiden, as secre- tary. It was voted to hold the next re- union at Washington in the fall of 1891. This afternoon the association dined at the Arlington, Nantasket. A thor- oughly enjoyable reunion of the former members of the Forty-fifth and One Hundredth Pennsylvania regiments was given by the members of the Thirty- sixth Massachusetts Infantry associa- tion at their headquarters this morniug. A meeting of the survivors of the Tenth United States heavy artillery regiment ' was held this afternoon. Brig. Gen. I. S. Bangs, of Waterville, Me., past junior vice commander-in-chief of the G.

Western Roads Succumb to Coo- ley's Commission. Chicago, The Western roads have decided to put into effect, without further protest, the reduced rates on grain and flour, as ordered by the inter- state commerce commission. A propo- sition to ignore the order and test the authority of the commission to make rates for the railroads received some consideration, but the conclusion finally reached was that it would be better to peacefully comply with the order. After the new rates have been put into effect the Chicogo shippers will ask the commission to so amend the relative basis of rates by the different gateways as to remove the apparent discrimina- tion against Chicago. . To Be Moved to Chicago.

X li _^_^ COMMANDER Grand Army Veterans Elect a Vermont Man as Alger's Successor. Eastern Men Get the Principal Offices and Detroit the Encampment. ItMay Be Held in the West Three Successive Years. Gen. Alger Gives His Old Com- rades a Talk on Monu- ments. Boston," Mass., Aug. 13.— C01. Whee- lock G. Veazey, of Vermont,^ was this afternoon elected commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., and it was decided to hold the next national encampment in Detroit, Mich. The session of the na- tional encampment of the G. A. R. was opened at Music hall to-day, and the delegates from the different depart- ments of the Union comprised as fine a body of men as ever met in delibera- tive assembly. The hall was beautifully decorated, and the floor was entirely occupied by delegates, while the bal- conies were set apart for members ofthe Grand Army, were filled with veterans. Gen. Sherman was one of the first to arrive and he took a seat with the Mis- souri department, although urged to go upon the platform. He was warmly greeted by the comrades, and was the" center ot attraction. Gen. Charles Devens, past commander-in-chief, was with the Massachusetts delegation, and other departments were represented by prominent soldiers. A meeting of the national council of administration de- layed the opening proceedings, and it was 11 o'clock when Gen. Alger Appeared - upon the piriform, and was applauded by the delegates. After prayer by Past Chaplain-In-Chief Rev. I. N. Foster, Gen. Alger said that it was the wish of the commander and of all comrades that Gen. Sherman should . come to the plat- form. - Gun. Sherman, who was in the center of the hall, arose amid great ap- plause and said he. preferred to remain with the Missouri delega- tion. ' Gen. Alger then said: "Your wish is my order, but 1 prefer that you come upon the platform." Gen. Sherman declined to leave his seat, and Gen. Alger made a brief apology for a lack of time to prepare his address as. he desired/ During the last few months, he said, his time had been so occupied, with official- duties and his private business that he had been un- able to give the time and thought that he would have liked to. He then in- formed the convention that he knew nothing about parliamentary law, but hoped .that - harmony would prevail and the business be transacted ex- peditiously. . If an attempt was made to tie the chair by parliamentary tech- nicalities, he would untie the knot very speenily. . lv his address Commander- in-Chief Alger said: "While welament the loss of nearly all of our old com- manders, itis a source of great Consolation and Pleasure to know that one of those great leaders of men is still spared to us, and is in our midst to-day. Upon him this nation is pouring its wealth of love and gratitude. Let us hope and pray that he may -be long permitted to remain here, our leader, our commander, our idol and our comrade. God bless you. Gen. Sherman. Our love for you is boyond words." Referring to the condition ot the organization, he said, that with few exceptions, it was ex- cellent. "Tliere have been," he continued, "some disagreements in the department of Louisiana and Mississippi drawn up on the color line, the details of which will be found in the records of the judge advocate general, It is the same question that to-day is disturbing many localities in the southern part of this country, and which will requiie patience and conces- sions from all parties to settle. Ithas been my determination .to recognize as a comrade the equal" rights of. every man, no matter what his color or na- tionality, provided he has the two qual- ifications, Wl_\W- Service and Honorable Discharge. In this great struggle of life the strong should aid the weak. It enables the former and helps to elevate the lat- ter. A synopsis of the opinions of the judge advocate-general, those approved and those disapproved, will found in the report of the adjutant general. The official reports presented to the twenty-third national encampment, dated" June 30, ISB9, gave the total member-ship as borne on the rolls, at that date 410,656. On June 30, 1590. the total membership was 358,230. With regard to the disability pension billhe said: "By a careful reading of this law and the official explanation given of it, it will be. seen that, no matter what a man's financial condition may be, if Tie be especially disabled fromperforming manual labor, he is . entitled to a pension. Let us be just to our lawmakers, even though they have not given us all we asked. No country on earth is, or ever has been, nearly as generous to its soldiers as ours." Referring to Gen. Logan's monument, he said: "The funds in the hands of the trustees, outside of the ap- propriation made by congress for the site and pedestal, amount to $12,541.67. I sincerely trust that the time is not far distant when this tribute to This Beloved Leader will have been completed. lowa circle, in the city of Washington, has been se- lected as the ; permanent site for this monument." Speaking, of the Gen. Sheridan monument. Gen. Alger stated that under general orders issued from Grand Army headquarters to the posts throughout the country, asking for con- tributions of from 10 to 25 cents per member, there have been received to Aug. 2, inclusive, $447.94. "Congress," continued the general, "has heretofore passed . a law granting $40,000 each for the purchase of a site and pedestal for monuments '-. to Gens. Sheridan, Logan and Hancock. ; Unless - this law can be so amended that a portion ot the amount not needed as specified can be converted to the purchase of statues, when we \u25a0*. consider the . fact that; an equestrian statue costs about $30,000, it is evident that the time for their final completion -is > far -distant.. These works should all be . pushed with the. utmost .vigor. Touching -the Gen. Grant monument, he said: "Anordin- ary plain vault on ' the banks ' of ' the i Hudson marks the resting-place of r our great chief This is not creditable either to us or to. this nation. r There , should be erected; at the capital of this government, dedicated to the memory of this great man, a memorial building such as will be a credit to -the whole people. Not a shaft; uot a statue; but a monumental structure such as has not been J builded ,in this or any other country. "a One to which J every citizen J within the domains of this great ; land can lj HILIW "I 1 Will \i ijfliMW \u25a0» |||j||ffl Refer With Just Pride. . I recommend that a committee of five be appointed by this encampment, : whose duties shall be in accordance with the foreeoing," and J empowered to i solicit aid from the general government and from individuals. I think we give : too little thought to patriotic sentiment, to . the '- glories ot the past, and to r the shrine of the veteran, to the old flag,J too little J thought to the blessings we enjoy. Every patriotic act, every sub-, scription to a monument ; fund, every dollar devoted to the re- lief .-; Jot the .suffering, every ; gathering where patriotic '\u25a0\u25a0 sentiments are J expressed, helps to build a wealth that J cannot be represented in figures, because every such act breathes the life that will '\u25a0_ perpetuate our love J for the J- nation and continue its prosperity." Gen. Alger closed his ' address with a eulogistic reference to Comrade John F. Hartranft, the fifth commder-in-chief, who died during the last year. The address was frequently ..- ap- plauded, and his reference to - Gen. 1 Sherman aroused great J enthusiasm. Comrades William Wallace, of New York; A.D. Reed, of Illinois; J. W.J: Thatcher, of Connecticut, and -Thomas- D. Rogers and Adjt. J Gen. George H. \u25a0 Hopkins," of Detroit, as chairman,. were- appointed a committee on credentials. The annual reports of Adjt. Gen. George H. Hopkins, of Detroit;-Quar- termaster General Taylor, of Philadel- phia; Inspector General Griffith, of J Troy, and Surgeon General Horace P. Porter were distributed among the dele- gates in printed form. At the after- noon session Officers Were Elected, the principal positions going to the East in pursuance, as is claimed by. some, of a plan to give the encampment to the West three successive years- Detroit in1891, Topeka in1892, and Chi- cago in1593. The roll was called and representatives of each state had an op-; portunity to name their choice for, com- mander-in-chief. California presented the claim of Col. Smedberg, a re- tired officer of the regular. army. ' Connecticut named Col. Wheeler "" C. ; Veazey, of Vermont, and Maine seconded the nomination. Col. Yeaz- ey's name was received with applause. Indiana and Ohio named Gen. Alvin P. Hovey, of Indiana, while' Montana . supported Smedberg. New York, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Idaho and lowa expressed a preference for Col. Veazey. Pennsyl- vania, Rhode Island,' Tennessee and Texas, in quick succession, named Col. Veazey.: . Ex-Gov. Pingree. for Ver- mont, eulogized the services of Col. Veazey. Utah, Virginia and Alaska' wanted Col. Smedburg, and Illinois was the last state to respond .for Col. \u25a0 Veazey. Massachusetts would have supported Col. Veazey, but as the delegation was divided in the matter of senior vice commander, it was decided to take no part in the selection of commander in chief. As soon as the roll was called Col. Smedburg ascended, the platform 7 and gracefully withdrew his name, Gen. Hovey pursuing a similar course. This action , was. greeted .with; applause, and by a unanimous.vote -;--i: Col. Veazey Was* Elected commander-in-chief. Comrades Smed- burg, Hovey and Miller were appoiuted a committee to escort Col. Veazey; to 1 the platform, and when '-. he -appeared there was great enthusiasm. Col. Yea-; zey accepted the honor in a brief speech. Next in order was J the -selection of a candidate for senior vice commander- in-chief, and it being, considered that the office, out : of : courtesy, belonged to Massachusetts, the matter was left to the delegates from that state. After a. long conference the name of Richard F. Tobin was presented as the unanimous I choice. Mr. Tobin accepted the position. George P. Creamer, Jof Baltimore, was then unanimously elected junior vice commander. There were several can- didates put in nomination for the offices of surgeon-in-chief and chaplain-in chief, and the encampment decided not to take any action" until to-morrow morning. The encampment unani- mously voted to hold the next encamp^ ment in Detroit, the home of Gen.' Alger. Gen. Alger expressed thanks' at the action of the encampment.and as-" sured the delegates that tliey would re- ceive a warm welcome, although it would be a hard. task to equal the re- ception they had received in Boston;' The encampment then adjourned until* 10 a. m. to-morrow. ' AFFILIATING BODIES. Conventions of Outposts of the Grand Army. i Boston, Aug. 13.— The eighth annual * convention of the National Woman's Relief Corps opened in Tremont Temple at lo a. m. today, Mrs. Annie Witten-! meyer, of Philadelphia, national presi- : dent, in the chair. Fully thirty-five states were represented. The galleries were crowded with members of the order. President Mrs. Witten meyer was in the midst of her address when : Secretary Rusk, Mrs. Alger, Mrs. John i A. Logan and Mrs. Livermore were an- nounced, ln the absence of Mrs. Charity,; Rusk Craig, past national president, the" gold badge voted J her by the encamp- ment was presented to her father, Sec-= retary Rusk, for her. . Mrs. Bagley, of Ohio, made the presentation. In v. his reply Secretaiy Rusk said that the prosperity of the G. A. JR. largely depended upon the efforts of the, Woman's 7 Relief corps. Mrs. . Logan, who is a member of the national pen- sion committee, W. R. C, gave ah; in- teresting account of the nurse bill now"; pending in congress. Mrs." Alger was introduced and acknowledged the greet- ingof the encampment. On motion of Mrs. : E. Florence Barker a vote of thanks was given Mrs. Alger* for co- operating with her husband in aiding" the W. R. C. work. Mrs. Livermore, was then introduced, after .which the distinguished party left the hall. After Mrs. Wittenmeyer had finished - the in- terrupted ** address, ] committees * on "re-" ports, resolutions, . and courtesies J were appointed. A resolution of sympathy was sent to Mrs. Norton, national chap- lain, who was taken ill on her way here. The honorary : member *of the -. order. Past Commander-in-Chief Paul Vander- voort, entered and received an ovation.- Inhis speech he recalled the formation of the order, and said he was prouder to sign that than he would be to J sign the Declaration of Independence. -$ Association of Naval Veterans.

The New York Central Able to Move Only One Freight i". .;;::\u25a0 Train. . Either the Strike WillBecome 1 Prodigious To-Day, or It Will Die. Firemen Are Still On Duty, : , Not Having Been Ordered Out. Boss Webb Says He Is r Satis-. - fled, and So Are the '• Strikers. ; Albany, N.Y., Aug. 13.— strike, : at least in Albany, does not look as ifit were ended. The New York Central j road, which was to have moved a large number of freight trains at West Al- bany to-day, has moved just one, and that consisted of only thirty-five cars.' It will be seen that this is but a petty move, when itis known that on an av- erage 100 freight trains a day, each con- sisting of about fifty . cars, are moved. The road did succeed in closing the draw of the freight bridge this evening, and one train was drawn from the ap- proach. About fifty train hands from the Michigan '_ Central J railroad ;. arrived here to-night, and willassist in raising the blockade. The railroad officials have evidently, received a set-back in the strike on J the Delaware & Hudson Canal company's road. The switchmen and laborers employed by that line at this point quit work this afternoon.- The large freight house of that '\u25a0 road is deserted to-night, and the depot presents the appearance of : Sunday.- The J im- portance of this move must not be under- estimated. The road from Albany north- to Saratoga. Montreal and other points, , as well as to Vermont, is used by J the West Shoie, New York Central; and the Pennsylvania roads. J All of J these are, therefore, affected by J the strike. Itis ,'thought, however, that the road will ef- fect a ; settlement to-morrow. The .^Boston & Albany and Fitchburg roads, are in danger, but they will prob- ably stop handling New York Central freight. •.•*' At 5 » o'clock : to-night John . Reed, of East Albany, who is secretary 'of 'J the local Brotherhood of -J Firemen, told a United Press reporter that all of the firemen from New York toBuffalo J on freight engines were ordered out and \X.\ ; Would Leave Their Engines to-night. The West '-. Shore . firemen, he said, are to follow, which will . leave the .engineers valueless to the roads, as they will not run with green firemen. The order, he * stated,^ was r . received this [afternoon i by telegraph ~ from Chief. Sar- rgent, at ;. Cleveland, Ohio. cj. Old heads »iiere thai one of the two things must happen to-morrow; either j* the .strike", will become prodigious or else it will die..;. The first affray of the strike occurred at . West Albany •to-night. ' The ' assertion ' had been re-" quently made that if the Pinkerton men attempted to-"move a the freight "trains they would be stoned. The detectives were evidently scared, for to-night, : when a crowd of spectators gathered on : the bridge, they- determined to clear it ; before they started a freight train. Ac- ; cordingly, they moved up towards the ; crowd. Their orders were not obeyed,' and in an instant- they began to use their clubs. The crowd retaliated, and when the city police cleared the.bridge two Pinkerton men were found badly .hurt, and one spectator had a fractured skull. The city police say that the: Pinkerton men had no right to rout the .crowd, f Third Vice President Webb ar- ; rived in the city this evening, and after looking over the ground Said He Was Satisfied, and left for New York. Supt. Bissell said: "We have got the passenger trains : running on good time, and we will clear •out the entire West Albany yard to- morrow morning early. One hundred Boston men arrived to-night, and will help us. The strikers' places are nearly all filled. -T have got word that No. 1705 of the Knights of Labor has thrown up, Jits ; charter, and asks the company * to : take them back. I have not. heard that the firemen have struck." Three freight trains have gone as . far .west as West Albany, but there they are stuck. John W. Reed, secretary of the local branch of ' the ' Brotherhood ; of Firemen, said tOMiight that he never stated that the' firemen were ordered out, and any such statement is untrue in every particular. The only word he has received is .that they may strike withoutJ losing their standing in the order. Committees •from tbe Delaware & Hudson railroad - strikers have been in . conference with 'General Supt. Hammond all night. Mr. Hammond says that the men may ; come back in the morning. If ; they do.not he , will fill their places, i as they have no real cause for grievance. THREW UP THEIR CHARTER. Weak-Kneed Strikers Surrender [• -• * Unconditionally to .Webb. [J. New Yokk, Aug. 13.— Vice President Webb arrived from Albany on his spe- cial engine at 7:30 p. m. : to-night. After reading telegraph- messages, he : gave out the following statement: "Reports this evening indicate the un- conditional surrender \of the K. of L. 'of the Harlem division. A message was received at 7 o'clock informing me that a committee had just waited upon J Supt. J Worcester to inform him that Local Assembly %K. of L.

'J Mr. Webb came back at 10:30 p. m. and said it weighed nine and a half pounds. Then he pulled out a cablegram from Mr. Depew dated; at Milan. J Mr. J Depew in his message "sustained the action of the managers of the Central Hudson system and said : "that any - other; - - course -; would i have : brought the management into contempt and the company '\u25a0\u25a0 to "J disaster. •" . Mr. Webb added that Mr. Depew would not return to New York for a month yet. : Superintendent Voorhees r said J; that trains -• were running all right, that at Albany and Dewitt ,- trains were com- mencing to J move as before the strike. The Delaware & Hudson people tele- graphed that they had no fears of any ex-" tended troubled Mr. Woorhees said that the Central Hudson company would prob- ably take " back \ nearly all the men who : had gone out, as nearly all had repented of their J hasty : action. -No word has been received from Detroit up to mid- night at the Grand Central depot. . Gen- eral Superintendent Voorhees : said that he had received a report in the after- noon that indicated: unconditional .'sur- render on. the part; of the Knights of Labor of the Harlem division. He had received a message last evening inform- ing him that a committee Jhad just , waited on . Superintendent . Worcester, and informed him that " Local Assem- bly No. 1 1705, located at Dover ; Plains, had surrendered their charter. This s was confirmed by a message addressed to E. J. Lee ; and signed , N.

Mr. Voorhees replied to Mr. Worcester directing him to take on at once four old conductors and twelve brakemen; the balance of the men to re- port at the Grand Central depot. Their case will be held under advisement. NO WONDER THEY KICK. Powderly Says the , Knights Will Win in the End. . Detroit, Aug. 13.— The executive \u25a0 board oi the Knights of Labor assem- bled here in secret session at 2'\u25a0 o'clock r this afternoon, and at this hour (11p.m.): are still in conference. General Master Workman Powderly was seen this even- ing and was very chary and guarded about talking on the labor difficulties. Ivj response \u25a0;. to. the ,', question. "Does the going out on strike of ' the "- Brother- hood of Locomotive Firemen, as an- nounced in to-day's telegraphic advices, come upon you as a surprise?'! "Scarcely as a surprise," he replied. "I had every reason to : believe that such would be the result before leaving the East. The Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers will unquestionably fol- low the firemen out on strike. There is : nothing else; for them to do. Their in- terests are identical. The action of the firemen was purely voluntary and with-; out outside influences. .It is just much their fight as it is that of the K. of L. "Will -7 you say something regarding the responsibility for this extensive railway strike and '-. the consequent in- convenience to the general public?" , : J D" Where men JJ are dismissed and thrown out of. employment in lumps which aggregate from fifty to sixty., as was the. case with the New York Cen- tral and West Shore lines ;„• as long ago. as last April, itis pretty conclusive cvi- J dence that there must •be something radically wrong with the management.^ The Knights of Labor- who were em- ployed on these lines had. at that time, no, intention of - striking. r- They i bore this very unjus t and undesi- rable; condition -, of affairs until itbecame evident that it .would -.be bet- ter to \be knocked -down . altogether.; than be. dropped in detail; The rail- road . people brought on the trouble. The men didn't care to \u25a0:\u25a0 strike," but it, ; was plainly the , intention of rF.'v Walter Webb, third vice president of the New Tork Cei;"!«.l; to force them to do so. He discharged men,: right and . left .indis- criminately. No man J who held the in-", terest of the community at heart would have done anything which; was so well- calculated to harass '-and disturb the public. He would not have lowered his dignity ;: in the* slightest, degree had he met and j talked with the men upon the subject of the existing troubles. By.this course the impend-, ing conflict might have been readily; avoided." Mr. Powderly said Mr.Webb was asked to investigate the alleged mistakes which caused their discharge by the men and by Mr. Villard when the Matter tendered his services as peacemaker and mediator. He denied : that Mr. Holland was instrumental in bringing about the strike, he having had nothing to do with it. Asked as to whether , Mr. Depew ' went to Europe to avoid participating in the impending difficulties, Mr. Powderly said that Mr. Depew was very diplomatic; ; that the wholesale dis- charges were made in April, and that Mr. Depew may have left the country to avoid going on record in connection with the troubles. ' "The meeting of the executive committee was arranged at our last meeting in June, and was not called on account of the strike. I would add that it is not the intentiou of; the strikers to interfere with passenger trains. Their efforts will be confined wholly to freights. We, of course, ex- pect the strike to prove successful." FOREMEN STILL OX DUTY. Sargent Has Not Ordered Them to Strike. Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 13.— Grand J Master Sargent, of the Brother- hood ofLocomotive Firemen left at noon for Cleveland to meet with a grievance committee, but whether or not in con- nection with the central strike is not known. At the national headquarters here, positive statement was made that he had not ordered the firemen to strike.IgWMBWWBMI . _^ : THEY CARRY THE MAILS.

Cloqtjet, Minn., Aug. 13.—About seventy-five strikers . congregated early this morning near, the Nelson compa- ny's mill, ready and willingto stop all men from going Ito work, and many were intimidated. A \u25a0 few minutes . be- fore 6 o'clock, however, they and many others were treated to Ja . genuine sur- prise, when a special train drew into the station, only a couple of - hundred yards away, and unloaded Company X, of Duluth. The boys in blue, com- manded by Col. Bobletter. marched to- wards the Nelson company's boarding . house, and J after ; maneuvering a few moments stood at . rest. Col. Bobletter, Capt. Dewitt, the sheriff, village offi- cials and county /attorney then held a parley with the. J strikers, who abused the mill owners and all others who had incurred their displeasure. Col. Bob- letter advised them to try to come to an understanding with the mill companies, and not to create further trouble. He told them that he came here to pro- tect life and property, and proposed to do so. The . leaders of the strikers then gave orders to their followers to go to Knights of Labor J hall, : and amid loud yells, jeers . aud '\u25a0-. much * profanity they proceeded to do so. In about ten minutes they returned in a body r.-.\u0094.-'-"\u25a0\u25a0 - Carrying the Stars and Stripes at the head of the column, while fur- ther back ten of their 'old banners had i been j converted into one. Inscribed ! upon the banner was \u25a0 the .? following: "One Dollar and Seventy-five Cents for I Ten Hours' Work. No Surrender. Women on a Strike. No Breakfast Until Half-past Six." They paraded in front of -the militia and then returned to their hall. Warrants were sworn out by Andy Gowan for the arrest I of thirty of the strikers, and the sheriff swore in ten deputies to assist in making the ar- rests. The Knights of Labor Hall was visited and p. the ; four > Elzea - brothers were arrested and taken to the city hall loj^xaminatien. During the day twenty a;v&"sts were made. %The ?; strikers . have retained H. H. Hawkins, an attorney, : to defend \ them.*. A change.' of venue was takeu in. the case of .the El- J zeas •to;'••'. Northern - Pacific Junc- tion,:, and they will .. have an examination before Judge Bradley, to-morrow morning Jat 9 o'clock. The other prisoners were placed under bonds of $250 each to appear before Justice Peters to-morrow morning' and they are now seeking for bondsmen. Before the militia arrived this morning the special police were on hand ready for any emer- gency, and tliere is \u25a0'. no J doubt that blood would have been shed to-day had it not been for the arrival of the sol- diers. The men were in an ugly mood, and the specials had decided that they had stood enough abuse and determined: to stand it no longer. Had they been insulted again to-day somebody would have been hurt. To-night circulars were posted up by the authorities re- questing all citizens to keep the peace and discontinue the parade. Affairs are now quiet and the authorities do not apprehend any more trouble. Awed the IH-JHuniored Mob. The presence of the. state militia seems to have had a quieting effect upon the strikers at Cloquet Col. Bob- leter,, in command of Company X, Second regiment, arrived there at 5:50 o'clock yesterday morning. Shortly after 8 o'clock he" wired Gov. Merriam that the presence of state troops had deterred the strikers "from making. any further disturbance. The strikers were then holding a meeting and the colonel anticipated no lawless outbreak. Col. Bobleter sent another telegram to the governor.during the J afternoon, ln it he reported, that some of the strikers had left the town and others were leav- ing, The sheriff had in his possession twenty-seven warrants for the arrest of strikers who had, in one way or another,* broken the law. The Nelson lumber mill was going to open at once, aud "all was quiet." Officials Are In Ignorance.

New Yobk, Aug. 13.—Details . of " the wreck of the- British steamship Para- matta reached this ; city \ to-day. : The . vessel ' sailed from Melbourne,; Aus- tralia, homeward-bound, on July 20. On the seventh night out she came into collision with the bark Ethel Mary, of: Mil ford Haven, bound for -Auckland. The latter. was cut (almost entirely in twain, and sank shortly after the " acci- ' dent. Her crew was saved." The steam- * ship was * also * badiy damaged ' by '\u25a0 the collision, and began *; leaking ;' so freely that it was impossible to keep her afloat. [ After ten days' hard work at the pumps- '* during which time signals of distresi were .- constantly displayed, and when ; - the passengers were all about to deserl the ship, the American ship \u25a0 Amboj r hove in sight, and took off all hands but Capt.' Douglass and his * officers. These refused to leave the doomed ship, and. remained on :board the wreck thre^ .days, i They were \ finally compelled . ta desert the Paramatta, and after. a per* Jilous four-days' voyage in Ja small boa( [ they were picked up by the shiD Avon- dale, and \u25a0"• will be landed at Danedln, New Zealand. The men were entirely broken down when rescued, and could not; have stood their sufferings much longer. The Paramatta was one of the finest ships in the Australian service ol the P. &O. Steamship company of Lou* ' ': don, and cost $600,000. EATEN BY MAGGOTS. Horrible Death of a -Woman af I BBSS Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. -13.— MrsV Anna Beatty, who lived with her fami< ly at Bay View, last evening.died a most horrible death. ' About two weeks ago a flygot into one of . her nostrils, and it was ': some time : before she was ' able to remove it, and when she did an itching sensation remained and her nose and throat began to J swell. . She be- ,came alarmed, and a week ago Sunday a physician was called. Since that time Mrs. Beatty had been suffering in a !manner almost indescribable, and the doctors say a similar case is unknown to medical . science. -.It is stated that soon after she was taken sick maggots were discovered in her nose and throat, and for several days Mrs. Beatty J had been unable to swallow anything like food. Her death was the result of hav- ing been literally eaten up by mag. gots. She died in; the greatest agony, . and her affliction; was a puzzle to the doctors. Upon examination of the body it was found that the partition of her nose was cone, a hole . had been eaten through the root' of the mouth, the soft palate had disappeared, and the throaj .' was frightfully eaten.

The animal imbedded its teeth! so firmly in '•' the foot that it extracted itself with difficulty and pulled a 'big piece of the foot with it. As two cases of skunk bite have recently proven fatal in the neighborhood, one of them developing into a weil. defined case of , hydrophobia, Mr. Moore has left for the Pasteur institute, New York, for treat- . jment.

The consul was unable to leave the house until two days after the defeat of Rivas, j when all was quiet again. The consul ac- \u25a0 cused the Salvadorian : government of having insulted the American flag. The, American minister, . Mr. Mizner, ar- rived Friday last from Guatemala on the ship Thetis, and proceeded to the capital Sunday, after sending several , dispatches to his government and re- ceiving several in return. The Ameri- can flag was then hoisted again, and saluted with due honors and a salute of twenty-one euns fired. 1 Mr. Mizner reports that Guatemala duly declared war against San Salvador, but this is the first intimation that the Salvadorian government has received of the action of the Guatemalan govern- . ment. The American minister and the commanding officer :of the Thetis re- ceived an enthusiastic welcome at the capital, and a "banquet was given in their honor by President Ezeta yester- day. , They departed to-day for Aca- jutla, where the Thetis awaits them en rouje for San Jo»e. - IT IS A STUMBLING BLOCK. Harcourt Gives the House of Lords a Body Blow. .' London. Eng., Aug. 13.—1n a speech at Derby to-day, Sir William "Vernon Harcourt attacked the house of lords as a standing obstruction to useful legisla- tion. He said that as a deliberative as- sembly, the house of lords had almost ceased to exist. It had done nothing during the present session- beyond pro- moting a bill to preserve hares and an extension of the game laws, which were already extensive enough. What great Liberal measure had not during the present century been delayed, thwarted and defeated in the house of lords. The country ought to keep in mind the tact of the antagonism between the reac- tionary upper house and; the Liberal house of commons. That was the great political question of thejday.

London, Aug. 13.—King Kalakaua, of Hawaii, has definitely announced that in all probability he will be in London '\u25a0\u25a0 in the autumn. : So far as appearances go he will excite but a languid interest. Tie has been moved by the report of the reception which was accorded his . spouse. J But the queen .of J Hawaii vis- ited England at an opportune moment, and she attracted attention because of the homage she desired to pay to Queen Victoria.

Mysterious Murder of an Un-known Man in a MontanaKB Gulch.

Special to the Globe.Winnipeg, Man.. Aug.13.—The .sen-

sational dispatch scut from here lastnight, concerning an alleged outbreakof Indians on Lake of the Woods, is al-most whollyfalse. These Indians havebeen complaining that the fishing com-pany—Reed & Co., of Buffalo—is de-pleting the lake of sturgeon, whitefish,pickerel, etc.. and have frequentlythreatened that unless the governmentput a stop to the company's operationsthey would take the matter in their ownhands. Canadian Indians made suchcomplaints and threats as late as twoweeks ago to the agency superintend-ent. He warned them to commit noovert act, but to lay their complaintsbefore the government, and to have theAmerican Indians do the same. Reed& Co.'s fishing establishment is inAmerican waters, so that the Canadiangovernment lias no control over it. TheIndians evidently concluded thatit was hopeless to appeal toeither of the two governments,and so donned their feathers andpaint and went on the warpath. Quitea party of them went to Garden islandand took possession of Reed &Co.'sfreezer and boats and cut the nets.They informed the company's managerthat he could have five days to removethe plant from the lake, and if he andhis men were not away then therewould be trouble. Inother words theywould be driven away by force. TheCanadian authorities can do nothingand there are no American authoritiesin the neighborhood. The Indiansknow this, but itis not likely they willcommit any further depredations. Theyare playing a bluff game, and itReed <&Co. show a;bold front they willcomeoffbest. Mr. Reed is in the city"appeal-ing to the provincial officials to inter-fere. He 'does not want to be com-pelled to resist by force. There areonly seven white men on the island, butthere is not the slightest danger of theirbeing harmed. Hunters island isnearly 100 miles trom Rat Portage, thenearest aud only town ou the lake.

Brachett Has Warrants forlio.Deputy Marshal Brackett willleave

St. Paul the Lake of the Woods thismorning, armed with warrants for thearrest of Indians, who, latterly, havebeen making lifemiserable among theBaltimore Packing company. E. T.Le Claire, manager of the company,stationed in the Twin Cities, received atelegram from the manager of the com-pany's fisheries in the Lake of theWoods, stating that there was a threat-ened outbreak among the Indians, andthat they had taken possession of Gar-den island, one of the best fishingpoints in the lake. Mr. Le Claire firstsought Gov. Merriam, and, in his ab-sence, laid the facts before Private Sec-retary Elliott. Mr. Elliottexplained thatthe county authorities should first becalled upon for aid, and upon the latterfailing to cope with the outbreak, stateaid could then be invoked. He also sug-gested a call upon the United Statesdistrict attorney. Mr.LeClair called atMr. Hay's office. Mr. Hay was absent,but. in his absence, Assistant DistrictAttorney Edgerton gave his attention tothe matter. Itwas Mr.Edgerton whodecided to issue the wanants for thearrest of the Indians, and ordered Maj.Brackett's immediate departure to Lakeof the Woods. Mr. Le Clair representedthat the Indians were in possession ofthe property of the fishing establish-ment. The reported outbreak is amongthe Red Lake reservation Indians.

A BULLET INHIS BRAIN.

Mysterious Killingof an UnknownMan in Montana.

Special to the Globe.Helena, Mont., Aug. 13.— About ten

days ago two prospectors, while goingthrough Bridge gulch, about thirty-fivemiles from Helena, came across thebody of a man lying face downward.Investigation showed he had been shotin the back of the head, the ball lodgingunder the skin of the forehead. "Thecoroner held an inquest, and it wasthought the man had been killed aboutthree months ago. From letters foundon him it was thought his name wasVebber, though where lie came from orwho his relatives are is not known.This case attracts attention fromthe fact that it is one ofa series of mysterious killings, whichhave been reported in Meagher countyfor the past two \u25a0 yews, ana which thecounty authorities seem to have madeno effort to investigate. From a gentle-man who lives in the section which hassuffered, and who reported this lastcase, itseems that there has been an in-sane man roaming around the countrywho went East about two months ago.This man lived in mortal terror of be-ing hanged, and was heard often tomutter "Idid not killhim!" Sheepherders and prospectors have beeii thevictims of this supposed murderousmaniac, and in consequence there hasbeen no particular effort to apprehendthe guilty party.

Chicago, The Western roadshave decided to put into effect, withoutfurther protest, the reduced rates ongrain and flour, as ordered by the inter-state commerce commission. A propo-sition to ignore the order and test theauthority of the commission to makerates for the railroads received someconsideration, but the conclusion finallyreached was that it would be better topeacefully comply with the order.After the new rates have been put intoeffect the Chicogo shippers will ask thecommission to so amend the relativebasis of rates by the different gatewaysas toremove the apparent discrimina-tion against Chicago. .

Gen. Alger Gives His Old Com-rades a Talk on Monu-

ments.

Boston," Mass., Aug.13.— C01. Whee-lock G. Veazey, of Vermont,^ was thisafternoon elected commander-in-chiefof the G. A. R., and it was decided tohold the next national encampment inDetroit, Mich. The session of the na-tional encampment of the G. A. R. wasopened at Music hall to-day, and thedelegates from the different depart-ments of the Union comprised as fine abody of men as ever met in delibera-tive assembly. The hall was beautifullydecorated, and the floor was entirelyoccupied by delegates, while the bal-conies were set apart formembers oftheGrand Army, were filled with veterans.Gen. Sherman was one of the first toarrive and he took a seat with the Mis-souri department, although urged to goupon the platform. He was warmlygreeted by the comrades, and was the"center ot attraction. Gen. CharlesDevens, past commander-in-chief, waswith the Massachusetts delegation, andother departments were represented byprominent soldiers. A meeting of thenational council of administration de-layed the opening proceedings, and itwas 11o'clock when

Gen. AlgerAppeared-

upon the piriform, and was applaudedby the delegates. After prayer by PastChaplain-In-Chief Rev. I. N. Foster,Gen. Alger said that itwas the wish ofthe commander and of all comrades thatGen. Sherman should . come to the plat-form.

-Gun. Sherman, who was in the

center of the hall, arose amid great ap-plause and said he. preferred toremain with the Missouri delega-tion.

'Gen. Alger then said: "Your

wish is my order, but 1 preferthat you come upon the platform."Gen. Sherman declined to leave his seat,and Gen. Alger made a brief apologyfor a lack of time to prepare his addressas. he desired/ During the last fewmonths, he said, his time had been sooccupied, with official- duties and hisprivate business that he had been un-able to give the time and thought thathe would have liked to. He then in-formed the convention that he knewnothing about parliamentary law, buthoped .that - harmony would prevailand the business be transacted ex-peditiously. . Ifan attempt was made totie the chair by parliamentary tech-nicalities, he would untie the knot veryspeenily. . lv his address Commander-in-Chief Alger said: "While welamentthe loss of nearly all of our old com-manders, itis a source of great

Consolation and Pleasureto know that one of those great leadersof men is still spared to us, and is in ourmidst to-day. Upon him this nation ispouring its wealth of love and gratitude.Let us hope and pray that he may -belong permitted to remain here, ourleader, our commander, our idol andour comrade. God bless you. Gen.Sherman. Our love for you is boyondwords." Referring to the condition otthe organization, he said, thatwith few exceptions, it was ex-cellent. "Tliere have been," hecontinued, "some disagreementsin the department of Louisianaand Mississippi drawn up on the colorline, the details of which willbe foundin the records of the judge advocategeneral, Itis the same question thatto-day is disturbing many localities inthe southern part of this country, andwhich willrequiie patience and conces-sions from allparties to settle. Ithasbeen my determination .to recognize asa comrade the equal" rights of. everyman, no matter what his color or na-tionality, provided he has the two qual-ifications, Wl_\W-Service and Honorable Discharge.

In this great struggle of life thestrong should aid the weak. Itenablesthe former and helps to elevate the lat-ter. A synopsis of the opinions of thejudge advocate-general, those approvedand those disapproved, will found inthe report of the adjutant general.The official reports presented to thetwenty-third national encampment,dated" June 30, ISB9, gave the totalmember-ship as borne on the rolls, atthat date 410,656. On June 30, 1590. thetotal membership was 358,230. Withregard tothe disability pension billhesaid: "By a careful reading of thislaw and the official explanationgiven of it, it will be. seen that,no matter what a man's financialcondition may be, ifTie be especiallydisabled fromperforming manual labor,he is.entitled to a pension. Let us bejust to our lawmakers, even thoughthey have not given us all we asked.No country on earth is, or ever hasbeen, nearly as generous to its soldiersas ours." Referring to Gen. Logan'smonument, he said: "The funds in thehands of the trustees, outside of the ap-propriation made by congress for thesite and pedestal, amount to $12,541.67.

Isincerely trust that the time is not fardistant when this tribute to

This Beloved Leader

willhave been completed. lowa circle,in the city of Washington, has been se-lected as the ;permanent site for thismonument." Speaking, of the Gen.Sheridan monument. Gen. Alger statedthat under general orders issued fromGrand Armyheadquarters to the poststhroughout the country, asking forcon-tributions of from 10 to 25 cents permember, there have been received toAug.2, inclusive, $447.94. "Congress,"continued the general, "has heretoforepassed .a law granting $40,000 eachfor the purchase of a site and pedestalfor monuments '-. to Gens. Sheridan,Logan and Hancock. ;Unless

-this law

can be so amended that a portion ot theamount not needed as specified can beconverted to the purchase of statues,when we \u25a0*. consider the . fact that; anequestrian statue costs about $30,000, itis evident that the time for their finalcompletion -is >far -distant.. Theseworks should all be .pushed withthe. utmost .vigor. Touching -the Gen.Grant monument, he said: "Anordin-ary plain vault on

'address with a

eulogistic reference to Comrade John F.Hartranft, the fifth commder-in-chief,who died during the last year.The address was frequently ..- ap-plauded, and his reference to

-Gen. 1

Sherman aroused great J enthusiasm.Comrades William Wallace, of NewYork; A.D. Reed, of Illinois; J. W.J:Thatcher, of Connecticut, and -Thomas-D.Rogers and Adjt. J Gen. George H. \u25a0

Hopkins, of Detroit;-Quar-termaster General Taylor, of Philadel-phia; Inspector General Griffith, ofJTroy, and Surgeon General Horace P.Porter were distributed among the dele-gates in printed form. At the after-noon session

Officers Were Elected,the principal positions going to theEast in pursuance, as is claimed by.some, of a plan to give the encampmentto the West three successive years-Detroit in1891, Topeka in1892, and Chi-cago in1593. The roll was called andrepresentatives of each state had an op-;portunity to name their choice for,com-mander-in-chief. California presentedthe claim of Col. Smedberg, a re-tired officer of the regular. army.'Connecticut named Col. Wheeler

""C.;

Veazey, of Vermont, and Maineseconded the nomination. Col. Yeaz-ey's name was received withapplause. Indiana and Ohio namedGen. AlvinP. Hovey, of Indiana, while'Montana . supported Smedberg.

Massachusetts wouldhave supported Col. Veazey, butas the delegation was divided in thematter of senior vice commander, itwasdecided to take no part in the selectionof commander in chief. As soon as theroll was called Col. Smedburg ascended,the platform7 and gracefully withdrewhis name, Gen. Hovey pursuing a similarcourse. This action ,was. greeted .with;applause, and by a unanimous.vote -;--i:

Col. Veazey Was* Electedcommander-in-chief. Comrades Smed-burg, Hovey and Millerwere appoiuteda committee to escort Col. Veazey; to1

the platform, and when '-. he -appearedthere was great enthusiasm. Col. Yea-;zey accepted the honor inabrief speech.Next inorder was J the -selection ofacandidate for senior vice commander-in-chief, and it being, considered thatthe office, out :of :courtesy, belonged toMassachusetts, the matter was left tothe delegates from • that state. After a.long conference the name ofRichard F.Tobin was presented as the unanimous Ichoice. Mr.Tobin accepted the position.George P. Creamer, Jof Baltimore, wasthen unanimously elected junior vicecommander. There were several can-didates putinnomination for the officesof surgeon-in-chief and chaplain-inchief, and the encampment decided notto take any action" until to-morrowmorning. The encampment unani-mously voted to hold the next encamp^ment in Detroit, the home of Gen.'Alger. Gen. Alger expressed thanks'at the action of the encampment.and as-"sured the delegates that tliey would re-ceive a warm welcome, although itwould be a hard. task to equal the re-ception they had received in Boston;'The encampment then adjourned until*10 a. m. to-morrow.

•;Albany, N.Y., Aug. 13.— strike,:at least inAlbany, does not look as ifit

were ended. The New York Centraljroad, which was to have moved a largenumber of freight trains at West Al-bany to-day, has moved just one, andthat consisted of only thirty-five cars.'Itwillbe seen that this is but a pettymove, when itis known that on an av-erage 100 freight trains a day, each con-sisting of about fifty. cars, are moved.The road did succeed in closing thedraw of the freight bridge this evening,and one train was drawn from the ap-proach. About fifty train hands fromthe Michigan '_ Central J railroad ;.arrivedhere to-night, and willassist in raisingthe blockade. The railroad officials

• have evidently, received a set-back inthe strike onJ the Delaware & HudsonCanal company's road. The switchmenand laborers employed by that line atthis point quit work this afternoon.-The large freighthouse of that '\u25a0 road isdeserted to-night, and the depot presentsthe appearance of :Sunday.- The J im-portance of this move must not be under-estimated. The road from Albany north-toSaratoga. Montreal and other points, ,as well as to Vermont, is used by J theWest Shoie, New York Central; and thePennsylvania roads. J All ofJ these are,therefore, affected by J the strike. Itis

,'thought, however, that the road willef-fect a ;settlement to-morrow. The

.^Boston & Albany and Fitchburg roads,are in danger, but they will prob-ably stop handling New York Centralfreight.•.•*' At 5» o'clock : to-night John .Reed, of East Albany, who is secretary'of'J the local Brotherhood of-J Firemen,told a United Press reporter that all ofthe firemen from New York toBuffalo Jon freight engines were ordered out and\X.\;Would Leave Their Enginesto-night. The West '-. Shore . firemen, hesaid, are to follow, which will.leave the

.engineers valueless tothe roads, as theywill not run with green firemen. Theorder, he *stated,^ was r.received this

•to-night. 'The'assertion

'had been re-"

quently made that ifthe Pinkerton menattempted to-"move a the freight "trainsthey would be stoned. The detectiveswere evidently scared, for to-night, :

when a crowd of spectators gathered on:

the bridge, they- determined toclear it;before they started a freight train. Ac-;cordingly, they moved up towards the;crowd. Their orders were not obeyed,'and in an instant- they began to usetheir clubs. The crowd retaliated, andwhen the city police cleared the.bridgetwo Pinkerton men were found badly

.hurt, and one spectator had a fracturedskull. The city police say that the:Pinkerton men had no right to rout the.crowd, fThird Vice President Webb ar-;rived in the city this evening, and afterlooking over the ground

Said He Was Satisfied,

and left for New York. Supt. Bissellsaid: "We have got the passenger trains:running on good time, and we willclear•out the entire West Albany yard to-morrow morning early. One hundredBoston men arrived to-night, and willhelp us. The strikers' places are nearlyall filled. -T have got word that No. 1705of the Knights of Labor has thrown up,

Jits ;charter, and asks the company *to:take them back. Ihave not. heard thatthe firemen have struck." Three freighttrains have gone as.far .west as WestAlbany, but there they are stuck. JohnW. Reed, secretary of the local branchof

'the'Brotherhood ;of Firemen, said

tOMiight that he never stated that the'firemen were ordered out, and any suchstatement is untrue inevery particular.The only word he has received is .thatthey may strike withoutJ losing theirstanding in the order. Committees

•from tbe Delaware & Hudson railroad-strikers have been in.conference with

'General Supt. Hammond allnight. Mr.Hammond says that the men may;come back in the morning. If;they do.not he ,will filltheir places,ias they have no real cause forgrievance.

'the "-Brother-

hood of Locomotive Firemen, as an-nounced in to-day's telegraphic advices,come upon you as a surprise?'!

"Scarcely as a surprise," he replied."Ihad every reason to :believe thatsuch would be the result before leavingthe East. The Brotherhood of Locomo-tive Engineers willunquestionably fol-low the firemen out on strike. There is:nothing else; for them todo. Their in-terests are identical.

By.this course the impend-,ing conflict might have been readily;avoided." Mr. Powderly said Mr.Webbwas asked to investigate the allegedmistakes which caused their dischargeby the men and by Mr. Villard whenthe Matter tendered his services aspeacemaker and mediator. He denied :that Mr. Holland was instrumental inbringing about the strike, he havinghad nothing to do with it. Asked asto whether , Mr. Depew

'went to

Europe to avoid participating inthe impending difficulties, Mr.Powderly said that Mr.Depew was verydiplomatic; ;that the wholesale dis-charges were made in April,and thatMr. Depew may have left the countryto avoid going on record in connectionwith the troubles.

'"The meeting of

the executive committee was arrangedat our last meeting in June, and wasnot called on account of the strike. Iwould add that itis not the intentiou of;the strikers to interfere withpassengertrains. Their efforts will be confinedwholly to freights. We, of course, ex-pect the strike to prove successful."
