As 1 moved among the brilliant throne I
found conversation ran entirely on Lons-
dalu's American debut , and his New Yoik
woes and joys. I heard him dubbed "the
eiratlc , " "tho queen staiter , " and his doings
epllo ued with innumerable "fancy thats"
questions crossed "why does ho sell ? " and
"why do Lady Lonsdalu's ponies1 "Is it a
breakup ? " Doeshoceaso as a nlmrodand

But a sharp tap of thohainmpron the ros

woiideringly around as If a seml-Broc-

the ascending scale , a brown geldln ? , Kohl-
noor , who chumps nt his bit as If proud of
his iinmo , fetches KH ) guineas. The chestnut
gelding Shlllllah , nervously shaking
llko one and seeming to bo gathering
for a six-bar gate , mounts to
400 guineas. After as brisk a contest as
Kohlnoor had Invited , the brown gelding
ChiverhousR , looking as resolute as his his-
toilcal namesake , brought 300 guineas. Lord
Chalmond Kly did not IOOK pleased when his
namesake , another brown gelding , only
fetched ! f > guineas. A brown and n chestnut
celdlug presented , named respectively Happy
Itcturns and Birthday , brought 100 and 300
guineas.
"Brine out Barabbas , " cried the auctioneer.
Ho came out , ti chestnut gelding , looking
viry unllko a robber , but ho brought only 170

"Now for an Irish bit , " said the auctioneer ,
looking toward Lord Clonmul , and , calling

"has been generally ridden by a lady , " but

Lord Lousdalo has not reason to icgret his

two remained. At to-day's market values of

The Diitchcrs Strike Out.
CnicAon , Oct. is. [ Special Telegram to
the BKK.I The great strike , involving o\er
30,000 men , wh ch has been In prouress at the
strcS yards for ten days , c tine to an end lata
this nftnnoon , the strikers agreeing to return
to woik on a basis of ten hours a day , without
cjiactlngnnj conditions. ' 1 he settlement was
unexpected and In many lespic's a remaik-
ableone. It Is well known that several i > er-
sons of anarchistic tendencies have been
urging the men on and pressing them to re
main out , and the return of the strikers to
work Is a decided set-back for these agiti.tors.
The largo body ot conservative men
among the strikers viewed With dismay
the rapidity and ease with which Armour
was filling his houses with green
hand' , and appreciated the for.ns of his s'ate-
ment that It would only take a little time and
rat'once to make them as piolicient as the
sttlkirs. This , it is thought , had much to do
with the final neeision of the men , which
\\astnadoatalargeinass meeting held on
the prairie beyot.d the sioc t j arils this after
noon. The int ncntlon of the Ulchmond
delegates ana comiiilttecincn was as com
pletely Ignored by the meeting as was the
advice of professional agitators , and Mr.
Barry liatl nothinc to do at1 p. in. but to go
before Mr. Armour and announce to him that
the sti Ike was oil uncondltlbn > lly. The men
will receive an average of 50 cents a day
more for the extia time they will woik.
WHAT AUMOUH'S STATKMKNT WAS.
"Them has been no compromise , no settle
inent , " said Mr. Armour this noon. "Arnioui *
& Co. wouldn't know there was n strike if It
hadn't been for the numbers of men that
comohero looking for work. "
'It is announced that the strike Is at an
end. What Is the basis of the agieemeiitV"
'What ? There Is none. Mr. Barry sent
me woiil askinc if I would be in inolliceat
4:30 : this afternoon. I said I would. 1 ex
pect he will be here. Tint there will be no con-
ierenec , no council , There is nothing to
settle. The men want to go back to woik ;
thai'.sall. "
"Will von dismiss any ot llio new men to
make loom for the old ones'.1"
"Positively no. I am a civil service re
former , and believe In standing by men that
stood by me. That is not the way wo do
business. Do yon think the house of Armour
it Co. would be where It now Is if It hadn't
principle ? No , sir. Wo will diteharte no
man unless he proves incompetent , and we
had men enough , good men , too , three days
atro. to start up just the same as it nothing
happened. Yon sec there is nothing in our
business requ'n ing any particular skill. Any
handy man can be taticnt the business in a
little while. But the old men forcot this.
They forgot that others could be instuicted
in the business just as well as they were ,
and they went out. But Armour it Co. havu
no Ill-feeling against them. \ \ o comd not
yield the eight hour plan it would not pay.
That's all theie is to it. "
"How nianvmen have you now ? "
"A lull fifteen hundred , the full comple
ment ot butchers , and with a little patience
they can do the work just as well as the old
hands. Just to show that this is the casefor
the last three days wo have loaded 100 cars a
day wllh beef. We haven't killed any hogs ,
but we could if there was a demand. "
"Then your retaining these new men will
necessarily end in refusing the old ones em
ployment"
"Not exactly. "We treat all men alike.
The new men nave positions. They will be
kept so long as their woik Is satisfactory.
The old ones , no doubt , will get something to
do. as the busy season Is approaching , and if
they don't secure work from Armour it Co.
they very likely will from some other linn.
Of course some dissatisfaction exists. Wo
have been paying out SG5,000 every week.and
this money Is ttlstilbuted principally among
the stoiekeepers near the stock yards , and
so. naturally , these men do not want to see
this money fall into the hands of stiansers.
But , bless you , theie was no trouble ; there
could bft none , for we could get all the men
we need , in fact more than we need , to go on
with the busincsV
The strikers say now that theirs Is likely to
be the experience of the Western Union
operators right over aealn. Men are floi-Klng
here from Boston , St. Paul , New York ,
Omaha , Kansas City , and from pretty nearly
even- town on the map. The new men , like
the " "pings" that took the places of the oper
ators at Die Western Union tables , are un-
skllleil and second rate , but they till the gao
and take the places of better men Barry
and Butler have striven all the more In view
of this avalanche of outsiders to make peace
on honorable grounds. The places for the
old men are what the leaders want In any
event. The fact * aie this morning that In all
likelihood the stream of outsiders will bo
stopped by the packers and piovislon made
both for tno old men and the now. The uack-
eis see that In their dealings It is absolutely
necessary to bo both cenerous toward the old
and honorable toward the new men.
This evening Armour , to stand by his oft-
nindo nssQitlon that the packers could better
afford concession to the beef men , instructed
his manager to give all the beef men who re
turned to work to-morrow an advance of
fifty cents per day o\er the old rates. Some
tlmo alter the strike had been declared at an
end , the announcement was imulo that the
packers had adopted a winter schedule of
wages to go Into effect Immcdiatelv. This Is
equivalent to a temporary advance of ten per
cent. The scale ordinarily docs not take
effect until the middle of November ,
The Switchmen's Strike.
Mix.VKAFoi.i8 , Oct. 18. The striking
switchmen show no disposition to do violence
this morning , but ueem to be awaltlnt ; the
action of the railroad officials. Trains on
QUO or two lines are moving without trouble ,
others havlnu' some difficulty. Siu'clal po
licemen are being sworn In ana thu Northern
Pacific and Manitoba railroads aie hiring
new employes and express a determination
to move trains at all hazards as suon as these
preparations are completed.
The switchmen's strike presents no new
features up to this hour. The Manitoba road
Is not able to move a single car of freight ,
though all passencer trains this morning
are on time. The Milwaukee ro.nl , howuver ,
by Importini : new men and organizing a largo
force of special police , are iiiovLnir freight
without hlndtanco and taking all classes of
freight , Including peVlshablc , in and out of
both cities.
The switchmen are still out to-night , but
trains are moving on some of the loads , nnd
nctho preparations have been niadu for startIng -
Ing cars on all lines. Special olllcers are be
ing sworn In , and the Northern Pacltic and
Manitoba arc arming their notice with rilles ,
The switchmen are quiet though firm , and the
railroads show no signs of yielding. The
chief of police has promised ampin protection ,
The militia has been ordeied to hold them
selves In readiness to act against the strikers
If violence is attempted.

LINCOLN , Neb. . Oct , IS. [ Special Tele
gram to the BF.I.J Church Howe , who has
been in the city the past twenty-four hours
encouraging his supporters and wire-pullers ,
has taken his departure again , but befoic
taking it he called a meeting of Lincoln citi
zens and his pet strikers at the Capital hotel
and hn laid down the law to them. The air
was blue for blocks aroundand ho swore like
a fisherman on his native Massachusetts
shore that he would grind Lincoln under his
heel If his inajoiltv was not equal to the rest
of the ticket. He Illustrated his threats for
the future with citations of what he had done
In the past to bilng Lincoln to
time , and there was a shaking
up of dry bones In general. Howe's
tactics to bulldoze Lancaster co.uity Into his
support , when honest men In alt parts of It
are levoltinc against the trickster , will not
win. and while his boodle lieutenants think
that Howe's tirade and laying down of the
law will filghten Lincoln people into his
support , thev will tind their mistake. Lincoln
has been bled and bullied by Howe betorc
thisand the levoltagalnst the dose of voting
for a man that has bird them at every session
has gone too far for Howe to whip them back
into line , e\en If hede.voted the rest of the
campaign to Lincoln. It is said that It was
a great meeting. When Howe told the Lin
coln politicians how he would tiunlsh them
with the club that he swlni-s over the r heads ,
It was a threat that will humiliate every
honest voter In Lincoln.
