CHIC A 00 , July 7 , President Dcb was nerved with the Injunction Issued by the United States court some days ago. The In junction was nerved as Debs was leaving the Sherman house this morning after a brief conference with Grand Master Sovereign of the Knights of Labor. Debs did not leave the city last night as was reported. He reached the headquarters of the union before 0 o'clock this morning , and said that he had not been out of the city and did not Intend leaving for some time , "I have had no time to leave Chicago , " nald Mr. Debs , "and do not expect to leave the city. I shall hold a conference with Mr. Sovereign , master workman of the Knights of Labor , and It Is probable that a call will bo made for the members of Mr. Sever eign's order to quit work. The order Is r.trong In the cast , and a general order for the men to quit will make a material exten sion of the strike. "Tho order for the knights to trlko will probably bo a Joint one signed by Mr. Sov ereign and myself. The members of the order will bo called out In the west as well as In the cast. " Mr. Sovereign admitted this morning that the strike order would probably be Issued. He said that he had telegraphed to the mem bers of his executive board , and expected to hear from them before ho went Into the con ference with Mr , Debs. With reference to the situation , Mr. Sovereign said : "I have been out to the stock yards and have come to the conclusion that It Is un fortunate for the A. II. U. that there are so many hoodlums In Chicago. It is this ele ment that Is destroying property. Time will prove that the union officers arc not In favor of violence. " The fact that the unions generally have Dignified their willingness to strike has led to the Inference that Messrs. Debs and Sov ereign may Issue a request for a general Btrlko outside of the Knights of Labor. DECIDED ON TUG ORDER. After the conference It was announced that It was settled , so far as Debs and Sovereign can act , that all members of the order of Knights of Labor shall bo1 called out on Monday next. Mr. Sovereign , yielded readily to the demands of Debs and Is now engaged In drawing up the order for the general strike. It will not be In force , however - over , until signed by the four other members of the executive committee. These are now on their way to Chicago. If the order goes Into effect 1GO.OOO men will quit work. STREET CAR MEN TO QUIT. The Journal will print the following : "Dic tater Debs has decided upon another of his wanton strokes to show the people of Chicago his power. This morning he sent word to the labor organizations on the west , north and south side street railways and on the elevated roads to bo In readiness to walk out Monday night. Dy tying up the city's means of transit he expects to arouse the sympathy of the public and force public opinion. " The first step In Inaugurating the general strike advised by the Building and Trades council was taken today when all the steam Utters employed at all the stock yards packIng - Ing houses , except Fowlers , went out. The Btearn fitters constitute one of the strongest branches of the building trades alliance. Thdse who struck went to Uhllch's hall and had a conference with President Debs. He assured them they would be given all the aid possible. ' Till : STKIKi ; . JllB Mass Meetings nt Sim Francisco Declare In I'avor of the Men. SAN FRANCISCO , July 7. Mass meetings held last evening In this city and Oakland endorsed the strikers. The assemblage In this city wds a notable gathering. Metro politan temple was Jammed and thousands unable to obtain admission organized an over flow meeting in the open air. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Corporate monopoly was recognized as a common enemy and every point against the Pullman car com pany was greeted with Jeers. Both the presi dent and his advisers were scored and every mention of the name of C. P. Huntlngton was the signal for loud groans and hisses. Speeches were made by A. AV. Thompson , who presided : E. T. Hoyt , as a representative of the A. R. U , ; N. K. Collier , Alfred Fulir- man , M. McQlynn , A. T. Rogers and R. T. Allan. Resolutions were adopted promising moral support to the A. R. U. ; condemning George M. Pullman and the Southern Pacific ; countenancing the strike ; attacking federal Interference In the difficulty , and demanding that the military service of the state and na tion should bo remodeled , classifying men fit for duty In such a way that those who have the most property shall ba drafted flrst Into the militia and army and ordered first to the front In the time of Insurrection. CANNOT blllf CASH WEST. Companies Itofuso to llumlle Money Whllo the. Strllio LimU. WASHINGTON , July 7. The treasury officials have been compelled to postpone all shipments of cash west of the Ohio river In consequence of the strike. In accordance with contracts with the express companies the companies are not responsible for delay In consequence ot riots or trouble of that character and acting under the privilege granted them In their contracts the several express companies have notified the officials that they will not accept cash for shipment to points west of the Ohio , Kentucky , Tennes see , Mississippi and Louisiana. This situa tion Is unfortunate particularly at this time as pensions are now being paid In Chicago and money Is needed there for that purpose. The subtrcasury at Chicago , however , has a considerable amount of funds pn hand and It Is expected that It will be able to make satisfactory arrangements with the banks for any amount they may need for present demands. The treasury officials have been notified to return all cash In transit to the nearest subtreasury at government expense. UOVEHNOIt STONE'S WAUNINQ.

ON THE OTIlr.H HIDE OF IT , There Are Tlmr When Railroad * Do Not Intoke the Ijiw. OMAHA , July 7. To the Editor of The Bee : I cannot understand how you know that business men arc on the side ot the railroads and organized labor on the side ot the laboring man In this strike. I am safe In saying that seven-eighths of the small manufacturers and retail dealers are In sym pathy with the strikers , but they cannot openly show It , as they are afraid of the railroads , bankers , etc. , after the strike Is over. The present destruction of property In Chicago Is not half as destructive on tbo part of strikers as the destructive clement of the railroads against whom they declare war. They are destroying one smalt many- facturer after another and upholding trusts and large corporations In the shape of re bates In freight , free passes and special quick service In switching and moving cars , etc. , which must In time destroy the small manufacturers. Is not this destruction of property ? Now a little In regard to law-abiding cit izens. Just look how quick they changed the tariff according to the maximum rate law when the legislature passed It over a year ago. Are we reaping the benefit of their willingness to go according to law ? They spit In the face of the law today and tomorrow they auk the same law for pro tection. What would you do If I should give you a good thrashing today and ask you for protection tomorrow ? Would you feel Justified In protecting me ? No. They are nt ail times protected . y rur laws , whether they an doing good or wrong , and laboring men , small man ufacturers and retailers ore never protected. What do you think of this ? Now about Pullman. How quick he came to terms when his cars were attached for taxes In Omaha awhile ago. How the com pany sneaked around as long as It could to get rid of paying taxes and I do not know whether they ever did pay them or not. What do they care , they.are protected both ways , I hope you can , and If you can you will , state In The Sunday Bee hQW.much taxes Pullman Is paying on his cars. Where and how much ? If the war will break out for a fact you will see how much trouble Uncle Sam will have to enlist men to pro tect railroad property. It Is wonderfully sur prising how bold these * rallrpad magnates are In asking tor protection from the same law which they have trampled In the mud a hundred times before. I wish I could give you my name , but for fear It will come Into wrong hands I must conceal It , although I am one of thousands of business men of the same Idea. BUSINESS MAN. P. S. I do not think that there Is anything wrong In this and I am no crank , but use good Judgment and do not like destruction. WILL FIGHT THE TKOO1M. Oakland Striker * Preparing to tVaeo Guer illa Unrfuro Upon Them. OAKLAND , Cal. , July 7. If the United Statej troopa are sent to Oakland there will surely be a fight.

MORE REPRESSIVE LA < AS DEMANDED Authorities In ( Icrumny Arc of the Opinion , I'rcRcnt ! . Arc Ainp'o-Tho ' Itcleii'O of Vou Kolso Well lleccl\cd. ( Copyrighted 191 by the Amoclntcd Prom. ) BERLIN , July 7. Anarchy seems to be the question of the day and that Is no Indi cation that ofllclal circles place faith It the efficiency of International measures for * the suppression of anarchists. As for the clamor for a revival of the antl-soclallst laws the language of the semi-official press shows clearly that It has not made an Impression upon the government. Prince Ulsmarck's organs have been the nolscst advocates of exceptional legislation , but they are being re minded that at the very time these measures were being applied with the greatest vigor , the most dlnbollc.il outrage ever concocted by analchlstsas planned and only defeated by mere accident. Had not one of the con spirators betrayed the plot , every living mem ber of the Hohenzollern family would have been destroyed at the Inaugural of the Germanla monument at Nclderwald. It Is stated Chancellor von Caprlvl 1ms reported to the emperor that so long as every clvlli- Ized government Is ready to co-opcrato with in Its frontiers and within the measure of Its own laws for the detection and repression of anarchist crimes , there can be no need of a written compact to enforce the performance of duties which arft equally prescribed by the common Interests of society In every nation. VON KOTZ'S RELEASE WELL RECEIVED. There has been n marked revulsion of opinion In regard to the Von Kotze affair since the latter's release by order of the emperor. Emperor William , to whom the documents In the case were submitted , Is said to have ordered Von Kotze's release on the ground that there was no similarity between his handwriting and that of the letters and postal cards which caused so much annoyance among the aristocratic fam ilies of this city , Berllncrs , however , In sist that this should have been discovered before the arrest of Von Kotze , who Is now on his estate with his wife and daughter. The name of another high official Is now circulated as the culprit , but the solution of the mystery surrounding the letters seems no nearer solution than It was two weeks ago. A sensation has been caused by the fact that the Voarwart/ , the leading boclul- Ist organ , has published another confidential circular , which the editor of that paper says he found on his table. The circular was Issued by the administration of the Dlerdarbarn district and called upon the postmasters to furnish the government the names of all conscripts known to sympa thize with socialism and anarchy. The gov ernment will Institute an Inquiry Into the leakage of official documents which Is be coming a scandal. It was falsely rumored here yesterday that the celebrated actor Ludwlg has committed suicide. The supposed cause was the arrest of his son , who was playing his first en gagement at Cologne and who stole a large amount of Jewelry. There is no motive for the crime , for young Ludwlg is well off. He admits the theft , but says he does not recollect committing it. LONDON THIATUICAL : GOSSIP. Actors niul Actresses Playing Numerous Kn- Rafrements In tlio Court * . ( Copyrighted 1S94 by the Associated Tress. ) LONDON , July 7. The hot weather ex perienced during the past week has pro duced a corresponding , slackness In the at tendance at the , theaters generally , but the great successes of the season , for which seats were booked In advance , have not suffered. The majority of the audiences , however , were small. The actors of London recently have pro vided many free shows In the law courts , which have been largely attended. For In stance , an action brought by the discharged conductor of the orchestra of the Lyric theater was commenced on Wednesday last before' Justice Sterling , The testimony pre sented revealed many secrets connected with that theater. The trouble all arose through the refusal of May Yohe ( who has vpcn more than one occcaslon been reported to have married Lord Hope ) to ba bcund by the ordinary rules of the establish ment. Finally Lord Hope made it a sine qua non that the conductor should be dis charged or May Yohe would leave. The conductor went and the lawsuit followed. Before the official receiver , Robert Bu chanan , playwright , gave many reasons for his failure. Among them was the state ment that Mr. Buchanan attributes his un fortunate financial position to the fact that Mr. Frohman did not produce hla "Sheri dan" In the United States. Damaging news paper attacks upon his works , Mr. Buchanan also said , assisted In bringing about his troubles. Finally , before Justice Jcuno , the divorce suit of the popular Charles Hawlcy Is also attracting large crowds of Interested hearers. When Henry Irving produces "King Ar thur" In the autumn. It is practically set tled that Mrs. Ellalne Terrais will play El- lalnes. "A Moderni Eve" at the Market theater on Monday last pleased a critical audience. All present predicted success for the new play , which Is a frank and audacious study of perverted womanhood made attractive by some fine character drawings. Mr. and Mrs , Beerbohm Tree played the two leading parts with great spirit. The new opera at the Savoy theater , "Ml- rette , " although a charming production , Is altogether too conventional In character to retain the suffrages of an audience accus tomed to Gilbert and Sullivan , Mr , Sulli van Tostl , Grossmtth and oilier Savoyards wore included In the audience. SEASON ABOUT ENDED. The summer theatrical season U .rapidly drawing to a close. It started extremely bad , but gradually pulled up , and , during the last fortnight , most 'of the theaters have been doing a very good business. "Faust" Booms destined to become n peren nial at the Lyceum , The EOOth performance took place last Saturday and provoked one of those demonstrations of enthusiasm to which Henry Irving and Ellen Terry are accustomed on such occasions. On Monday next "Becket" Is to bo revived for a run of ten nlghtu , and , after a single performance of "Tho Merchant of Venice" the hospitable theater In Wellington street will bo In a state of relacho. During Beerbohm Tree's absence on a tour next autumn the Haymarket will pass Into the hands of Lewis Waller , who In- teids | to produce there a new comedy by Oscar Wilde. Mr. Waller's wife. Miss Flor ence West , who will presumably play the leading woman's part , Is a sister of Mrs , Clement Scott. Almost simultaneously with Oscar Wilde's reappearance as a dramatic author , a clever satire Is to be published on himself and the cult of which he Is the head. It Is to be called "Tho Green Carnation , " the floral emblem of the decadents , and Is the work of a clover young Journalist , who has had special opportunity of studying the originals , The book will bo published anonymously. The Gaiety , from which Mine. Rejane has ousted burlesque for the nonce , la doing an enormous business with "Mine. Sana- gene. " So great has been Sarah Bernhardt's suc cess at Daly's that Messrs. Abbey and Gray may possibly prolong their reason , In order to allow of further performances of "Izeyl" being given. The account of the circumstances con nected with the retirement of Mrs. Langtry from "A Society Butterfly" and the consequent quent withdrawal of the play , as cabled last week , \vds substantially correct. Mrs , Lang- try , It appears , was drawing a salary of $400 a week , but she positively refused to perform the dance , which was to have been one of the features of the .play. The management Insisted that she should pay the salary of a dancer to take her place. Mabello Stuart , the American serpentine dancer , was en- gaged for this purpose , but Mrs. Langtry re futed to her any part of her salary , Thus the dishonored cherk And other complica tions.

NOT AiitAII : > 01' WAIt SHIPS. Sninnan Itehvlfl Defy Ilia ( loteminent mill 1'orelRii Nmnl Ofllerrx. SAN FRANCISCO , July 7. The steam ship Monowal arrived today with Samoan advices dated Juno 20 and Honolulu news up to June 29. The Samoan correspondent of the Associated press reports that while there has been little actual fighting the situation Is as critical as ever , wlthrllttle prospect of a settlement In the near future. A few days after the sailing of the last steamer the war ships there towed boats contain ing 2,000 government warriors to Aana , and called on the rebels there to surrender ten chiefs and fifty rifles within four hours , threatening that the guns of the war vessels would shelter the government warriors In making an attack In event of refusal. Two of the rebel chiefs ran away , but eight others were finally sent aboard the war ships with fifty rifles , only one of which was In working order. The guns \vro thrown over board , H had been done with other rides previously seized and the surrendered chiefs allowed to return to the Island The com manders of the war ship then ordered both the government warriors and the rebels to disperse , The government party obeyed , but the rebels immediately resumed the pos session of their forts and sent out defiant messages to the king and commanders of the war vessels. The government troops and rebels arc now In camp about two miles apart , both on the offensive. On the 3d of June the Aana rebels made a night attack on a government party , amongst whom King Mai Ptoa was supposed to be , during the evening hour of prayer , The rebels fired a volley Into the houses , The fire was returned and the rebels lied , after having captured forty guns and much ammunition. Three of the government party wore killed and several wounded. The rebels lost an equal number. This Is the first known Instance In Samoan war fare of a night attack Imv.ng been made. The people are In hourly expectation of erlous outbreaks. An action Is brought by Lloyd Osborne , a stepson of Robert Louis Stevenson , against one of the local papers , the Samoa Weekly Herald , which Journal has lately been In dulging In some trenchant criticisms on the actions of Stevenson and these as sociated with him. King Malietoa , with the approval of Chief Justice Ide , has released several of the prisoners who were sentenced In connec tion with the Mataafa rebellion , and has remitted the fines which were Imposed upon them. An action has been brought against the government to recover the amount due for medicines supplied and medical attend ance rendered to the Samoans who were wounded while fighting1 for the govern ment. Much Indignation Is felt nt Presi dent Schmidts' action In endeavoring to evade the payment of this debt. The Samoa treasury Is almost empty , and there Is not the slightest prospect of Its being filled. It is more than evident that the revenues of the Island cannot support such officials as a chief Justice and president at the salaries now being paid. Owing 19 the unsettled state of the country , busi ness Is entirely paralyzed. MINISTER WDDEIIOUSE REBUKED. In Honolulu all was quiet. There were rumors that the royalists were arming and getting ready to attempt a coup d'etat on the Fourth of July , but the government au thorities had taken extra precautions against a surprise. The marines on the United States steamship Philadelphia had been al lowed to land for drill again , and once more the British marines from the cruiser Cham pion had been refused the same privilege British Minister Wodehouse wrote a letter of protest to the government , and received In reply a sharp letter from Mr. Hatch , min ister of foreign affairs , stating that the at titude of the British minister had been un favorable to the Hawaiian government.

When Representation 15vrry Unfolds Illg Length Ho MeasurcH Six F < vt Six. Ex-Speaker Reed was stretched out on a sofa In the house , says the Washington Post , and Representative Bynum was writIng - Ing letters. Representative Berry of Ken tucky passed by. "I should say , " said Bynum to Reed , In an off-hand way , "that Berry was the tallest man In the house. " A look of Ineffable scorn flitted across the face of Mr. Reed. "Bynum , " he said , "why Is It that I have always to go around dispensing Information to the democratic side ? Don't you know that Curtis of New York Is the tallest man in the house ? Dy- num , I am surprised at your Ignorance. " And Mr. Reed settled back on the sofa as If ho had settled the question forever and forever. "I am willing to pin my faith on Berry , " said Bynum , quietly. " " Reed "If will bo "Well , Bpoko up , you foolish , I will go you a bottle of wine on It. " . Out went the couple of pages to hunt up Mr. Curtis and Mr. Berry. Half n dozen members who had overheard the wager awaited the result. The Now Yorker and the Kentucklan came up together. Mr. Curtis tall and straight , Mr. Berry stooping slightly. There was no question as to who was the taller. "Thero , " said Mr. Reed , with a tone of triumph , "what did I tell you ? " But at that moment Mr. Berry , having heard the question nt Usue , began to unfold himself , so to speak , like the swan-necked woman In the dime museum. His long legs straightened out , his back gathered Inches unto Itself , his head rose up In the air , and presently Mr. Curtis six feet and four Inches though ho Is was a dwarf. "My God , Berry , " exclaimed Mr. Reed , somewhat Irreverently , but with an expres sion of awe In his voice , "how much of yourself do you keep in your pockets. " And then the crowd went down and drank wine at Mr. Reed's expense. Canting Out n Dovll. Mary A.

When the evangelists came to the city they learned of Miss O'Drlst'a long confinement. They suggested a united appeal to heaven , which was done , and all Joined In fervent prayer for relief , "Coma out of this , woman , thou devil , " said Rev.

( Special Telegram to The Bee. ) Representative Burorws of I Michigan made the speech of the day In hla rejoinder to the remarks of Mr. Catculngs of Mississippi , who had stated that there hail been no democratic opposition to republican procedure four years ago during the legis lative processes Incident to the enactment of the McKlnlcy bill. Mr. Burrows read at length from the Congressional Record of September 15 , 1SOO , showing that Mr. McMII- lln of Tennessee , Mr. Turner of Georgia and even Mr. Crisp , who Is now speaker , not only opposed republican procedure , but de nounced the haste with which the McKlnlcy bill was sent to conference. Mr. Burrows then Bald that the democratic party was never sure of Us footing , anil consequently never on the right pathway unless It was following the trail of the re publican party. He quoted from a speech ot thu late President Garflcld upon this subject In which Mr. Garfleld said : "Tho democratio party lags in the rear of the republican party In Its magnificent march for civilization and human progress. But when It Is lost In the mazes of doubt and uncertainty It sends out a scout to find , If possible , the republican trail. When he falls upon the deserted camp fire of the republican party he takes up Its smoldering brands and whirling them nbovo his head cries : 'Come on , boys , we're right ; they have been here.

Some of Them Locally Sell Meat Condcmocl for Export. WASHINGTON , July 7. The Department of Agriculture will soon adopt some dlstlnc- * tlvc design of tags to designate the condition of meats from cattle slaughtered for the pur * poses of Interstate and foreign commerce. Complaints have reached the department lately to the affect that dealers In towns and cities of the ! states where the cattle are slaughtered sell meat that has been con demned by the government Inspectors. The government's general Jurtsdlction only ex tends to meats Intended for consumption out * side the state and It Is powerless to proveni local sale of condemned flesh. The preven tion of the sale of this kind of goods Is loft entirely to the local authorities and any failure to execute the law Is due to then } . Before Issuing licenses to engage In the abbatolr business the Department of Agrl * culture requires persons appllng therefor to pledge themselves to send to the rendering house all the meat condemned , but the carry ing out of the agreement depends entirely upon the honesty of the proprietors of the abbatolr. ' Dr. Salmon , the chief of the bureau of ani mal Industry , Is now In Chicago conferring with the local authorities regarding a moro rigid enforcement of the Inspection laws. The tag law now attached to Inspected meat Indicates whether It has been approved or condemned. It will probably bo modified by providing a shining gilt tag to bo attached to meat that has been Inspected and ap proved and a green tag to bo attached to meat Inspected and condemned. PACIFIC HOADS HILL. House. Committee Derides to Report tt Measure for Settling thu Indebtedness WASHINGTON , July 7. The house com mittee on Pacific railways voted unani mously today to report n bill for settling the Indebtedness of the Southern 'and Union Pacific to the government. The bill agreed upon probably will not grant the fifty years extension of time which Is a feature of the funding bill before the committee. The plan Is more likely to provide that the sinking fund shall be used to lift the Oral mortgages on the properties , thus clearing the Incumbrance : o that the government , as the holder of second mortgages , may foreclose them.
