B e on Indian affairswill to-morrow or
BEE next day cull up the billl to open to settlo-
BEV . tnent the Siom reservation , containing
B about 11,000,000 acres of good farming
BBm lands. The Indians are more than willing
EBB to have it done , und the bill is likely to be-
B -como a law unless thoopponents of tho fol-
B lowing clause gain a stronger following than
E ib now tbought possible. This clause , tho
B -only one in serious controversy , , relates to
H the contracts entered into between the
B • ( 'Sioux Indians on tho ono part , und the
H Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Northwest-
BEV -em railrouds on the other * . Years ago it
BE was btipulated by these parties that tho
BBJj two railroads should havo tho right of
BE way through that reservation. Tho rond-
BB "way is 150 feet wide. For seven miles ten
BE acres were to be sold for station purposes ,
BEE -and each was to have a section of land ou
BEE ' the west bank of the Missouri river , oppo-
BEE wite Pierre and Chamberlain , D. T. For
BEE this the roads ngreed to pay $5 an acre.
EBB This agreement or contract wim at the
BBE time proposed by the secretary of the in-
BBE terior , but it was found that that was not
BEE * sufficient , and legislation is necessary.
HI Several altempts to pans it proved fiuit-
BBY leas , and now the agreement is before.con-
BBB srci > its a cause of the aforementioned bill
BEE in the committee.
B This clause was fought long and persis-
BE teutly by La Follctte , who thought the
BBE -two roads should have only 100 feet of
BHT roud bed ami a tract of 200x3,000 feet for
BK very nta'ion. Finally Senator Dawes ,
u vrho has managed tho bill in tho senate ,
Bf went to La Follette and told him ho was
WM& certain the Indians would not give their
B ni < ? ent to the bill as required by it unless
BBJ the agreement with the railroads named
BEY was ratitied by congress. He explained
BBff that the bill gives the Indians but fifty
BBJ -conts per acre for all the lands taken up
EBy under it , and that , of course , the land for
BBJj the railroads would only bring them tho
BE xurue price , while if the clauso is retained
BBJ they will get $5 per acre from the roads
LWh for ail the lands they take. The Indians ,
B | lie said , look at this difference ns a great
EC thing and at the refusal to ratify their
BEE a rwitunt with the roads ns a plan to ro "b
BBE * them , and would certainly not agree to the
BBJj bill thus defeating the opening of the res-
BE * • ervation to settlers. La Follette yielded
Bf to thtj argument , but nowVellborn , the
BEa -chairman of the committee , declares that
BBp he wil move to strike out the clause , or to
Hj " " aiBund it by giving the railroads only the
BET above mentioned usual roadbed , 100 feet ,
BBji etc. The people of Pierre and Chamber-
H ? lin oppose this clause because they fear
BBJ that that the roads will use tho twosec -
Bflt lions they would get under it to build a
BBr new city opposito theirs. If this be true ,
Wmf , thoce two sections would serve a very
Br profitable speculniion. Nelson and Strait ,
BBc -of Minnesota , are earnestly favoring the
EL iiilt with the contested clause.

liEVISIOX OF TREASURY NOTES.
What Secretary Manning Says to the House
on Uto Subject.
"Washington Special : Secretary Manning
to-day sent a long communication to
Speaker Carlisle in reply to recent resolu
tions of tho house of represontatives re
specting the reissuo of treasury notes and
tho destruction of United States.notes. Tho
first of these resolutions inquired whether
any money appropriated in tho sundry
civil bill or any other government money
had been expended for tho purpose of is
suing treasury notes of largo denomina
tions in lion of notes of small denomina
tions cancelled or retired. Secretary Man
ning , after observing that he finds no au
thority to reissue treasury notes , says that
if a more patient scrutiny of the statutes
at largo discloses such authority , ho could
not , except under fresh instructions
from congress , conceivo ita duty to expend
money for such a purpose , and then adds
that none of the appropriations referred to
nor any other money belonging to the gov
ernment has been expended for bucIi pur
poses
Tho becretary then goes into a long argu
ment in favor of paying the greenback debt
and a repeal of the compulsory silver pur
chase law , and says that another species of
our outstanding indebtedness , namely , the
legal tenders or greenbacks , known in law
ns United States notes , are equally with
what the law designates lb treasury noted
beyond any need or excuse for reissue.
That temporary notes , which are a debt of
principal only , liko notes which are a debt
of principal and interest , should at once be
cashed and cancelled from tho abundant
and superfluous coin on hand , not now
capable of being applied to any other use.
This is so obvious a principle of sound
finance , such as a prudentcitizen would ap
ply to his private affairs , that any secre
tary or tho treasury would be subject to
just reproach for departuro therefrom by
reissue , were it not that the act of May 31 ,
1878 , seems to require of him that fiscal
misstop.and submits to the house the quss
tiou whether , among many other reasons
for its repeal , the contraction of the cur
rency sought to be averted by that act , can
not in any other or better way be prevented
than by its repeal. The fact that the
S34GGS1,01G of greenback dobt is a green
back currency is so far from boing a reason
against its payment that it is the reason
which makes payment and destruction
necessnry not without abetter currency
to take its place ; butsuch a curranc.y is at
hand. But. also , a contraction of th *
currency should bo avoided. The substi
tution of a better currency for the given-
backs runs no hazard of contraction. IJu *
the consequences of not using our coin sur
plus thus are serious. For in currency of
some sort will the year's taxes be paid ,
and the excess of receipts over the author
ized disbursements of the treasury would
be the measure of the contraction of tho
currency. This contraction canbeavoided
by appropriations Tor an extravagant and
reckless outpout and expense like that of
war. It can also be avoided by the pay
ment of debt. The first remedy need not
bo discussed ; it is of course a remedy. the
most unworthy of the people's representa
tives. The second remedy is all that re
mains.
"What debt , then , shallwe pay ? " the
secretary asks , and goes on to argue that
it would be inexcusable extravagance to
diminish the bonded debt not yet due by
anticipatory purchase at a high premium
when , under the operations of the sinking
fund law , cverj' dollar of tho national debt ,
greenbacks and all , can be cancelled by
190S. Anticipating paj'nient of the
funded debt at a high premium , " the Becre-
ii\ry says , "while successfully getting out
cf the treasury its currency tax surplus
and so preventing contraction in that
form , is that method , nevertheless , which
would contract the currency in another
form by too suddenly diminishing national
bank circulation based on the funded debt.
It is therefore necessary now not only to
reduce taxation in order to prevent tho
surplus tax collections from bein con
tracted again and again , but it is neces
sary also to employ our present and un
avoidable tax surplus m the payment not
of funded but of the unfunded dobt.
Great extravagance of needless
expense or serious monetary troubles
can both be so avoided. The
people s representatives , by action before
adjournment , can relieve the secretary of
the treasury from a bad choice between
theso now piesent alternatives. The sur
plus coin and bullion which will remain in
the treasury after all the bonds subject to
call have been paid , and before the Fiftieth
congress will assemble , together with the
proceeds of surplus taxation which will
flow into the treasury before any possible
reduction of taxes by the present congress
can take effect , constitute a sum which can
well be got out of the treasury into the
hands of the people , where it belongs , by
the payment of the greenback debt. Coin
certificates are a ready and superior paper
money to the greenbacks. The substitution
: an be effected as a mere matter of treasury
administration whenever two indispensable
conditions are first fulfilled by congress.
The report of the compulsory silver pur
chases is the first and indispensable con
dition , and the repeal of the compulsory
redemption reissues United States notes
s the next and only condition. "
A WAR FEELIXO.
Buffalo ( N. Y. ) special : It is learned that
there are a number of Italians of this city
eagerly watching the chances of a war with
Canada and are ready to be led into the
dominion if occasion demands , to show
their loyalty to the United States. Mr. A.
J. Oishe , a well-known Italian , says he has
just discovered a very pronounced war ele
ment among his people here. "I went into
a saloon , " he said , ' 'and found it full of
Italians. As soon ns they saw me they be
gan to shou and gather around me : 'Here
is the man who can lead us into Canada , '
they said , 'he knows us and he can speak
our language , 'and they picked me up and
carried me about in their enthusiasm. Mr.
Oishe said that j-esterdaj' morning a lot of
his people came to his store and talked en
thusiastically about the prospect of war-
They are loyal and they want to show
their loyalty. They claim that they can
raise 2 000 men in BuCalo alone , and
5,000 in the state. _ „ , , ,
A CISCLXXATI SENSATION.
Cincinnati dispatch : The attempt upon
the life of Judge Fitzgerald , of the police
court , last night , has produced a profound
sensation. The judge for a long time has
been a terror to evil doers. Only j-ester-
day ho had over one hundred cock fighters
before him. The circumstances of the at
tack made last night , gives color to the
suspicion that someone interested in the
defendants had undertaken desperate
scheme ol murdering the judge. The judge
was greatly prostrated by a nervous
shock about a week ago. After attending a
business meeting near the court house he
tarted home , when some one hurled as
brickbat or boulder at his head , narrowly
missing him. It was dark and the judge
could not see his assailant , tvho instantly
ran. The judge appeared on the bench as
usual this morning. He says he has no
doubt he can recognize the voice und form
of his assailant.
"WilPkoctok. ayoung man at Raymon d
has been bound over to the district court
to answer to the serious charge of forging a

A FORXIDAIJZE STRIKE.
Fifty Hhousand Zaborers Unite in One
Common Cause.
New York , Jan. 27 By noon to-day , If the
programme adopted last night fs carried out ,
no work will be done on the water fronts ol
New York , Brooklyn and Jersey City. Nearly
50,000 men will be more or Jess Involved. They
will Include longshoremen , grain handlers ,
coal heavers , grain trimmers , hag 6ewers ,
canal boatmen , tug boatmen , lighter men and
every description of worklngmen. If this war
is declared no vessel will be able to leave port ,
as the pilots will be drawn Into the struggle.
Their Interests are with the workmen and it Is
alleged that out of sympathy , if for no other
reason , they will refuse to take out the ships.
Already steamship companies have begun to
feel tb effects of the trouble and now that the
striken made general the difficulty will be
much greater. The Idea of the executive board
of district assembly No. 49 is that only by
general action can the demands oMhe men be
enforced. The matter has been referred to
the general executive board of Knights of La
bor and met with their sanction.
Twenty thousand men are now on a Btrike ,
coal shovelers. longshoremen , freight handlers
and men employed on the river front In almost
every capacity and the number Is augmented
to close on 40,000 by strikers on the Brooklyn
and Jersey shores. In consequence It Is al
most Impossible for auy of the steamers for
Europe or coastwise toleave the port. An or
der went forth yesterday from the headquar
ters of the Longshoremen's union , which was
backed by the Knights of Labor assembly No.
49 and this morning the men turned out
The Old Dominion line has got a few men
working and at the headquarters of strikers it
was reported at noon that a number of the
green hands who were taken qn Monday had
joined the strikers. The men are considera
bly elated at the favorable reports that the
walking delegates are bringing in. One dele
gate stated that not a single steamer had been
able to take a regular supply of coal , and conse
quently would not be able to sail on the dav of
appointment At the Cunard docks the Gal
lia could not be discharged because a majority
of the piece men turned out
The next move will be to get the engineers
on the tug boats to refuse to burn coal or tow
It in. Other labor organizations who are de
pendent on the coal supply will be compelled
to quit v.oik. The ferry boats are seriously
Inconvenienced on account of the lack of coal.
No disturbance occurred up to noon. The
strikers believe the dispute will be settled be
fore ttie end of the third day.
The strike along the river front of Brooklyn
also went into effect this morning. All the
men went out'quietly , peaceably and deter
minedly. Freight accumulated on the docks
ready lor shhiment , while several vessels were
waiting to discharge cargoes.
At the Morgap company's dock , pier 85 , the
men went to work this morning , as the com-
Eanv agreed not to handle any boycotted
• eight.
The dockmaster had hard work to keep pace
with the demand , as much freight that had
been delayed in consequence of the boycott
and strike is now being moved. At the pro
duce dock a steamer was got away at 2 o'clock
this morning. If should have sailed on Tues
day night xhe Pequot , of the same line , ar
rived to-day , but could not be unloaded be
cause the longshoremen had gone out. There
were a number of foreigners , supposed to be
Portuguese , and with deck hands some cargo
was removed. In the office of the dockmaster
it was stated that the company had got all the
coal it required for use of its steamers , and al
so the men it needed to unload the Pequot
On the dock were about twenty men at work ,
but the scene was dull to that usually present
ed on the arrival of a Providence boat and
when there are 300 or 400 men at work on a
vessel which is usuallj unloaded and loaded
again , ready to sail agsln in a few hours. Sev
eral canal boats laden with coal were laid up
at the bulkheads , but there was no cne to un
load them.
An Anchor line steamer was docked , but no
attempt was made to unload her after the
passengers had debarked. Both piers 20 and
21 , belonging to this company , were guarded
by the police. At pier 3 , North river , there
were ver6els waiting to have their freight
moved , but no men could be procurred to do
the "ork.
It is expected that the Transatlantic steam
ers due out Saturday will not be able to sail
on account of their having no means of get
ting the vessel's coal supply aboard. The
White Star liner Brittanic " was to have left
port this morning , but she was unable to get
her complement of coal and was detained.
The State of Georgia , of the State line , and
theSuevia , of the Hamburg line , the Iude-
, pendent , of the FlorioRubotinolineto Italy ,
were all detained by the strike. The Gallia ,
of the Cunard line , the Devonia , of the
Anchor line , the La Bourgovue for Havre , the
W. A. Schlotten for Amsterdam , the Penn-
land , of the Red Star line , are moored for sail
ing on Saturday , but will probably not be able
to do so unless the strike Is settled.
The coastwise and southern bound steamers
due out to day , and the Trinidad for Bermuda ,
the City of Columbus for Florid a ports , the
City of Columbia for Charleston and Southern
ports , and the Algiers for Galveston , were also
delayed.
The Morgan line longshoremen who had
twice btruck and gone back , subsequently
went out again on the order of. a "beach walk
er. " Tho work of loading the steamer Al
giers was discontinued. Big piles of freight
are stacked up on the pier awaiting shipment.
About 4 o'clock this afternoon thirty Italians
were secured and put to work. The strikers
made no trouble beyond jcerins at the Italians.
The Helvetia , of the National line , reached
here this afternoon and discharged passengers.
No attempt was made to unload freightAt
the 6ame pier a score of green hands were load
ing the Erin. A coal barge was alongside and
the crew were filling the bunkers. Tlie com
pany hope to be able to clear the vessel by
high tide Friday. The French line people say
they have all the men they need. Four gangs
were loading coal on the La Bourgoyne and
three gauss were loading cargo at the three
hatches. The non-union men are of aU nation
alities. A sufficient number of men have been
obtained to work by the White Star line. They
will have the Brittanic rcadv to sail on Friday.
This will be one day late. The Wyoming ar
rived at the Guion docks at noon. Later in
the day men were put at work unloading cargo.
THE ARMOUR BOYCOTT.
Chicago , III. , Feb. 2. It is reported that
District Assembly No. 24 Knights of Labor
has placed a boycott on 2G5 local firms which
are using Armour's goods. They now propose
to boycott those wholesale and retail dealers
who purchase and sell Armour's products.
Charles F. Seib , secretary of District Assembly
No. 24 , has been the recipient of reports
systematically made , giving the names and ad
dresses of those who deal in the Armour meats
and these appear in the circular issued.
Armour thought the boycott would be a
harsh injustice to the small Imsiness men who
might be forced to the wall by such measures.
Refeiring to the effect of the boycott of a
month ago on his firm , he said : ' * My house
made the fight on principle and never dreamed
of anything but financial loss. To our surprise
hundreds of orders from new sources poured in
and they weie made distinctly upon the issue
thijt , as a boycott was thoroughly un-Ameri
can , the senders of orders were thoroughly in
sympathy with the American house that bad
the pluck to risk its money on American fair
play and should have the trade. "
A BOLD BURGLARY.
Allen town ( Pa. ) special : Yesterday
morning burglars broke into the office of
Dr. J. G. Hillegra83 of Pennburg and
secured a Bale weighing 1,200 pounds , in
which was a large sum of money and bonds
valued at $50,000. They loaded it upon a
truck and started south. Nenring Mc
Leans' station a fast freight was beard ap
proaching on th same track. Not having
time to unload the burglars deserted the
truck and ran off. The engineer did notsee
the obstruction until his engine struck it
with great force. The truck was shattered
to splinters and the safo thrown into the
ditch. No serious damage was done to the
train. The safe was returned to the owner.

A DIABOLICAL BUTCHERY.
Cool Confession of an Atrocious Crime by a
Keio Yorh Ex-Saloon Keeper. *
Now York special : Edward Unger , who is
charged with the murder of August Bohlo ,
No. 22 Ridgo street , and afterward ship
ping tho mangled remains in a trunk to
Baltimore , made n full confession of tho
horrible tragedy to Inspector Byrnes last
night.
At C o'clock last evening Unger was taken
out of his cell and shown tho trunk in which
thoreiimins of his victim had been packed.
The accused man shuddered at tho sight of
tho trunk and turned away. Tho saw ,
hammer and kniro were then shown him.
The sight of the weapons with which the
crime had been commitced were too much
for the wretched assassin , who almost fell
to the floor with fear. Tho prisoner was
then led back to his cell again , but before
being locked up Inspector Byrnes told him
that when he was ready to tell the truth to
let him kfiow. At 9 o'clock last night
Unger called the turnkey and requested an
interview with the inspector. Tho prisoner
was brought from his cell and taken to tho
inspector's private office , where he said ho
was ready to tell the whole truth. Unger
then in "the presenco of Inspector Byrnes
and several # witnesses mndo tho following
Btatement.of his crime :
"I live at No. 22 Rid-e Btreot. I have
known August Bolde since November ,
188G. I first met him in my lager beer
saloon in Eldridge street , where he callo I
upon me about an advertisement I had
put in a paper for a partner , but could not
agree about the price and I sold the place
out , and soon after Bohlo cameto live with
me in Ridge street. Tlie agreement was
that he should pay half tho ront and one-
third the household expenses. After sup
per on the night of Thursday , January 20 ,
Bohle and myself were alone talking about
different matters. About 0:30 he was sit
ting on tiie sofa and I was in the : ict of
poking the fire. He was very profano and
called me some very hard names. I told
him to stop , and put my hand up to turn
his head away. He struck me. I sprang
at him and attempted to strike him with
the poker. We then grappled and he
picked up a knife and attempted to stab
me. I ran into tlie bedroom and picking
up a hammer from oH the chest , ho m.tda
another attempt at mo with the knife and
I received a slight cut on the hand. I then
struck him witii the hammer and he stag
gered. I struck him again , and tlie head of
the hammer sank deep into his skull up to
the handle and he fell dead on the sofa.
This wiib about 10 o'clock. I expected my
son home and in order to conceal the re
mains of the dead man I took
the body from the sofa and
laid it on the floor. I then took
the cot upon which Bohle used to sleep and
placed it over tlie body and covered it up
with the bed clothes. When my son camo
home I told him that Bohle had gone out.
Shortly altorwards we went to bed in tho
same room with the dead man. On the
following morning , after my son had gono
to world went to Grand street and bought
a saw for ninety cents and two yards of
rubber. Before returning to the house I
took several drinks of whisky. On reach
ing home I spread the rubber on tho floor
and put tlie body on top of it. I then
started to cut the body up with a saw. I
first severed tho head from the body ,
wrapped it up in paper and laid it aside.
I then cut both legs off and I think the left
arm ; and finding the legs too long to put in
the trunk , I cut both feet off and placed
them in tho trunk. I then placed the body
on top of the legs and the arms on top of
the body. I wiped up the blood with some
clothing of the deceased and some paper
and put them in the trunk and tied the
trunk up. " 'I then left the house and went
to the Grand strectferry , carrying the head
with me. I boarded a Williamsburg boat
and when in midstream I threw the
head into the river. I then went
to the residence of Henry Siegel , No. 205
Throop street , Brooklyn , but on finding
that he was not well I told his wife that
Bolde had gone to Chicago. I returned
home and on the following day I shipped
the trunk to Henry Benz , No. 395 Kent
avenue , Brooklyn. On the same day I
transferred tlie trunk by Westcott's ex
press to this city , having pasted the follow
ing address upon it : "John A. Wilson , Bal
timore , Md. , to bo called for. " The trunk
was brought to this city and transported
by Adams' express to Baltimore.
" 1 did not mean to kill Bohle. ne was
a very quarrelsome man and I believed my
life to be in danger when he struck me. I
took the method I did of disposing of the
body because 1 wanted to save myself and
family from disgrace. "
• Unger identified the trunk and the bloody
clothing brought from Baltimore. Tho
coroner's inquest in the matter will be held
Tuesday.

great satisfaction in official circles and in
dicates that American vessels will be more
rigidly excluded from our waters during the
next season than in the past. A cahinet
minister , speaking on the subject , expressed
himself as follows : ,
"I have come to the conclusion that
American legislators , having gone so far ,
will never yield their consent to the ap
pointment of a commission. The Glouces
ter fisherman will not venture into our
waters again in force , and next April will
witness the first startling fall off in their
trade. Two years hence the splendid
Yankee fishing fleet will be a thing of the
past. Let them resort to retaliation if
they will , and the result will be that that
game will work both ways. Portland ,
now a. winter port of Canada , will decline ,
while Halifax , under a new order of things ,
will flourish. Civil war between the
eastern and western Btates would follow
the adoption of the retaliatory bill. "
TALK OF AN EXTRA SESSION.
"Washington special : As indicated sev
eral days ago it is the general impression
in tlie house that all efforts to harmonize
upon a revenue bill this session will fail ,
and that no measure will whatever pass
through the house. The movement of tho
Randall men will go on until checked by
some action of the house , but that it will
lead to any legislation is doubted. What
it is expected to result in by some of those
most interested in the question is an extra
session of congress. A very well informed
tariff reformer said to-day that he ex
pected an extra session to be called to
meet in October. Other members ex
pressed the same opinion. Meanwhile it is
expected that the surplus now in the treas
ury will be greatly reduced by the bill of
bonds that may be redeemed and by pay
ments on account of the Mexican and
three months service pension bills. It is
believed no estimate anywhere approaching
the amount of these pensions has been
made.

THE LABOR REVOLT.
Tlie Strilio SUuatlon in Nciv YorJt Un-
cliaiiued.
Nkw Yoiuc , Feb. 3. Very little freight was
moved along the river front this morning and
most of the railroad piers on the West side
were still closed , but the New York Central
had 150 men at work discharging a big lloat
and the company was receiving all the freight
offered. The merchants , however , were ship
ping no more than the most urgent orders ,
fearing delay. Tho Pennsylvania railroad In
troduced a hundred men on pier 5 , but they
were all green hands who had never handled
freight before. One gate was open this morn
ing and a few track men were delayed. The
Lehigh company at pier 2 did not open Its
gates , but some freight was haudled at the
dock. The New York , Lake Erie and Western
railroad put on a force of men in the place of
the strikers and opened a iiler for the freight ,
but very little was received.
Ou the steamship piers there was much im
provement , freight licinir moved mostly by
new men. There was an abundance of un
skilled labor to be had and the superintend
ents of the docks had more men than they had
places for.
The trouble on the Guion line pier was ,
however , further complicated when Alexander
Taylor , the dock stevedore , resigned , clahulug
he could not work with the force ou hand.
At the Hudson river freight depot a gang of
Italians quit work and joined the strikers.
The master workman of the Italian local as
sembly of the Knights of Labor called at the
headquarters of the occau association to-day
and told the committee that seventy-five Ital
ians who were working ns non-union men
were willing to strike if admitted to the union.
The offer was accepted and the men struck.
An officer of the Ocean association says an Ital
ian is paid § 2 a head for supplying men to the
steamship companies. The non-union men on
the M.illory line pier who struck several days
ago have joined the union.
Police Superintendent Murray has taken
vigorous measures to repress outrages. Police
Inspector Steers has taken charge of the
officers along the piers with a large force of
uniformed police under his command , and the
river fionts are practically in a slate of siege ,
while 1,000 police have been massed in reserve
at four different points , and patiol wagons
have been stationed at each place so the whole
force can be concentrated at any given poiut
in a short time , and the 1,000 men can handle
twenty times that number of rioters. A thou
sand more are in rc-erve at police headquarters
and fully a hundred detectives have been de
tailed for duty along shore , wearing plain
clothes , and all"the river stations report half
hourly to Superintendent "Murray , who thinks
he will be able to repress any disoider or riot
ing which might arise.
Over three hundred non-union men of every
nationality , brought to Pennsylvania piers 27
and 23 this morning , upon finding a strike in
progress , refused to work and fifteen went
over to the strikers. Over two hundred more
weie kept on a tug boat and not allowed to
land.

At the Hudson river railroad sheds at St.
John's park a number of men were brought
into the yards in closed cars to fill the places
of tle Italians nho joined the strikers and
were not allowed outside , as pickets of strik
ers were around.
The freight handlers on the Baltimore and
Ohio pier 4'5 , North river , left work this after
noon , being called out by the delegates. They
obeyed with reluctance as they hud never had
any trouble with tlie company. Tlwy were
the last of the railroad men to go out They
told Supt Brooks that they had no griev
ances , but were forced to go out on the call.
They loaded up all the freight on the pier and
swept the place clean. They refused to accept
any pay for their work as they were going out
on a call by the union , and not by any griev
ances of their own.
The Republic of the "White Star lineTand
Erin of the National line could not be loaded

serves would be called out immediately
and be drilled in the use of new repeating
rifles. This announcement taken in con
junction with the reported words of Crown

Cleveland . (0. ( ) dispatch : Detectives m
Hochn and Hulligan , who arrested Harry § 1
McMnun , who is supposed to bo concorned M
in the extensive fur robbery of Inst woek , 9
left Pittsburg with their prisoner last night SI
en routo to this city , securely handcuffed. Mi
Tho prisoner was placed ou board tho ]
train at tho outer depot iu Allegheny. Ho pj
took his arrest very coQly and scorned | | j
anxious to cnuso tho detectives ns littlo HI
trouble as possible. The express sped on , ml
and nt 2 o'clock this morning Alliance , 0. , Ml
was reached. At that point five men Ji ]
boarded the train and passed through 91
soveral of tho cars. Finally thoy saw tho Hi
officers and their prisoner sitting in tho mm
smoking car. No sign of recognition passed 9l
between McMunu mid the men and they fI
sat down a few seats from tho prisoner Bifl
and iu a few minutes the express continued | | fl
ou its course. When Rnvouna was reached | | l
tho live mcu aroso suddenly from their jgfl
seats and without warning drew their j jl
revolvers on the officers. Tliero wcro but fll
a couple of other passengers iu tho car , and jgfl
tho confederates of McMunn were complete jam
masters of the situation. Their quick Jfl
action gavo them tho drop ou thu oil- ! fM
cers. Ono of tho men demanded their " <
prisoner , but instead of complying fl
with their request tho officers jumped * l
to their fjet and tried to draw their -I
revolvers. They wero too late. Tho > -fl
fivo men opened fire on them Captain B
Iloehu reeled and tottered over into 'fl
the aisle with bullets in his shoulder and ' fl
thigh. Ashe fell , one of thu gang jumped '
< •
on him and kicked him until he lay still an " tifl
death. When the firing first commenced jjfl
Detective Hulligan received several bullets | lfl
iu his body. He still attempted to defend Mm\ \
himself and another volley was fired athim , B
until seven bullets had pierced his body. t B
He tottered and fell insensible in the seat. B
Ho was then kicked until his head was split B
open. Tlie few passengers t'nt were in tho B
smoking car became terrorized and hid un- J
der the seats. The alarm spread to tho HJ
other cars , and the trainmen and other 1
pnsscnger.4 hurried forward. A frightful Lm
scene met their gaze. Stretched out a Tew HJ
feet apart were the bodies of Detective Hul- HJ
ligan and Captain Hochn. The floor was , | HJ
covered with blood and tho seats iu the car Efl
near where the shooting had occurred wero ' B9
pierced and shattered by bullets that had B9
sped from five revolvers. The prisoner and HJ
his rescuers hid : disappeared in the excite- HJ
ment , having jumped from tho train. All BE
trace of them was lost iu the darkness. HJ
The Ravenna police were notified and n HJ
posse started at once to scour tho ' H
country. The train bearing tho two BE
wounded men arrived in Cleveland H
about 7:30 o'clock - this morning. At jHJ
the depot the ambulance and a large , easy H
springed , covered wagon were in waiting. H
Captain Iloehu was placed in the wagon . H
a d sent to the hospital. Ou the arrival H
at the hospital the house physician ex- WM
umined Captain Hoelm's wounds. Tho BV
brave officer was shot in the hip , the bul- HJ
let having passed lengthwise down his leg HE
and being imbedded iu the flesh. Another BHJ
bullet took effect iu his left arm and pass- HJ
ing from tlie wrist upwards came out of HJ
the elbow. He also received a severe cut HJ
iu the head. Hulligan had four cuts on HJ
the head. One was made by a coupling HJ
pin , and this , it is feared , fractured his HJ
skull. One ear was almost cut off. The HH
physicians think that Hoehn may recover , | HB
although his injuries are very serious. Hul- HH
ligai/s condition is very critical. If infiamHH
niation hCts in he will die. One of the HH
burglars was shot , but his "pals" carried HH
liin from the train and made their escape. HH
Captain Hochn , iu his statement of tho HJ
murderous n.sault. said that he learned H J
that three suspicious characters boarded HH ]
the train at Alliance. He took the pre- HH
caution to walk through the car and look HB ]
out on the platform. Seeing no one he HHj
returned to his seat. At Ravenna HHJ
thrumen entered the car from the HJ
rear door facing the captain. They HBJ
walked through the aisle until they reached HJ
the seats occupied by the two officers. Hul- EBf
lijan's back was toward them , and draw. jflflj
ing a coupling pin wrapped in white paper HH ]
one of tlie men struck the detective a terri- HH ]
ble blow on the head , knocking him almost HJ
hon eh\ss in tlie scat. At the same time two * BEE
of them covered the captan with their reBEE
vol vers and ordered him to remain quiet. HB ]
*
1 1 ulligan called for help , and Hochn , ( lis- HJ
regarding the pistols aimed at his breast. BEE
jumped to his feet , drew his revolver and HEJ
fired. Th < > assassins returned the fire , and | BEE
the man witii the coupling pin again struck HJ
Huiligun , then ran along the aisle und HBJ
broke the lamps. In a moment the car HB ]
was iu total darkness , and a terrific hand- HVj
to-hand struggle between the police captain BEE
and hit : four assailants ensued. Twice tho BEE
thieves knocked the captain .senseless to BH
the floor and both times he recovered conBEE
sciou.MicsH almost immediately and re- HEJ
turned to the combat. The first time he Bfl
fell one of the murderers said , * * We'vo BEE
killed him ; let him lay there. " He did not BEE
lay , however , but jumped to his feet and BEE
pluckiiy continued the fight. All this time BEE
Hulligan was unconscious , and the assassins Hfl
dragged him handcuffed to the prisoner HEJ
from the car to the ground. Hoehn finally HBJ
found his way to the car , where the bag- BEE
gaeeiuan and conductor found him. Hfl
The county commissioners and police BEBj
board have offered a reward of $2,000 for HEJ
tiie capture of the burglars. Both the BBE
wounded officers are resting quietly toBEE
night , but the chances are strongly against HBJ
them. The country about Ravenna is HHJ
being scoured by detectives and policemen HBJ
iu the hope of capturing the burglars. HBJ
JOHNNY BULL XN EGYPT. B
London dispatch : In the house of comBBE
mons this afternoon , Raikcs , postmaster HBJ
general , announced that the present agree- IHHb
ment with the steamship companies for IBHa
carrying the American mails would cxpiro , HHJ
at tiie end of February. McCremor , radi- B
cal , moved an amendment to thu address HBJ
iu eply to the queen's speech demanding HHJ
the immediate recall of all the British B
forces in Egypt. Sir "Wilfred Lawson , radiHEfl
cal , iu seconding the motion said : "We flEEJ
have raised the funded debt of Igvpt ] from J
00,000,0000 to 100.000.000. slaugh- HB
tered many thousands of natives , crippled HHJ
the national chamber , bombarded the prin- EBB
cipal city of the country under circumBEH |
stances of the greatest horror , increased BBH
taxation , promoted horrible debauchery in BEH
the capital , sown dissscnsior.B between the BEH
khedive and his people , and crushed out | HHJ
the first little spirit of independence that HHJ
had been seen in eastern nations for ages HEEJ
past. " Hon. W. H. Smith defended the BEH
government's policy. He said the evacuaHBh
tion of Egypt by England would throwthat HEH
country into a state of anarchy. McHEfl
Cremor's amendment was rejected by a HEEJ
vote of 2G3 to 07. Parnell adjourned the HEH
debate. BBH
HIGH LICENSE IN MINNESOTA. B
St. Paul , Jte. , Feb. 3. The hall of the M
house of representatives was crowded this HEH
afternoon by the friends and opponents of the BEBJ
Prosser high license bill which had already BHEJ
passed the senate. It fixes the license in cities HH
of 10,000 or more people at $1,000 , and HH
in smaller places at $ . " > 0v ) . A motion to amend HHE
by making the higher lecense $500 Instead of HBJ
$1,000 failed , 32 to 44 , and the bill finally passHHE
ed by an emphatic majority , and will doubtless HHE
become a law. It permits municipal aitthori- HH
ties to make the license as much in excess of HE
the above as they may sec fit and docs not HHE
affect the local option provisions already HHB
passed. EBB
