The political campaign In Nebraska Is be ginning to show signs of activity nnd from Jiow on the Interest will grow from day to ) lay. The campaign promises to bo Intensely pelting , ns the election this year Involves not merely the whole- state government , but hlso n legislature that Is to elect a United plates senator In the place of Charles P. Jilandcrson , whoso term expires on the -lib pt March next. From correspondents at the ( various county scots The Dee has been able lo gather the following details as to the sllu- ) Ulon and outlook. The reports so far cover about one-fourth of the state , but they pro- fccnt a perspective that takes In a portion of pvery section of the state : LINCOLN COUNTY. Ilopubllcans hero are firmly Impressed with tfio idea that John 13. Evans should bo the next secretary of state and are laying plans accordingly. MacColI , Majors and Cady all Jiavo friends in this county who champion lliolr respective Interests In the fight for the Kubernntorlal nomination. It Is surmised lliat the Evans following , which Is strong , % vould prefer seeing Tom Majors the nominee for governor , Inasmuch as western Nebraska cannot hope to furnish both governor and Secretary of state. The flght.wlll be made lo secure a solid Evans delcgatjon to the Btnle convention , but the friends of Jack MacColI may have something to say In the tnattcr. It Is very apparent that John Evans Is developing considerable strength. He is fan old resident and has always token on Sotlve part In local and state politics. He was postmaster hero during the Hayes nd- ulnlstratlon and has served two terms as jounty clerk. As chairman of our county , Senatorial and congressional republican cen- ; ral committees he has gained a wide ac- luolntance In western Nebraska and Is very popular with the rank nnd ( lie of the party. For the state senate Captain Alters of Gor ing seems to bo the le.idlng republican can didate , while Dr. II , U. Harris of Ogalalla scorns to have the lead from this , the Flfty- Jourth , district. The populists will probably nominate J. G. Peeler of Wallace for senator In this district. Ho Is a popular man and has no recognized Apposition as yet for the nomination. For representative It Is expected that Daw- ion county will name a favorite popullbt son. < The democratic party Is rapidly losing Its Organization In this county and there are no Indications that any local democratic ticket Will bo nominated. The populists are gainIng - Ing strength by this democratic disintegra tion , so It Is claimed , but republicans are fonfldent In their ability to down the com- Jjlrmtlon. VALLEY COUNTY. ' . Politics very quiet and there Is very little political talk batng Indulged In and but few candidates. The democratic party may bo said to be non est. The postodice fight and the course Of the administration has alienated the few Ithoro were. A strong effort will bo made by a few of Iho stalwart republicans to secure a Majors udlcgatlon , and , as no other candidate secrna Jto bo popular here , they may succeed In totting one. Judge M. P. Klncald of O'Neill Is the Jnoat popular candidate for congress and . will almost certainly get the delegation BOltd. A. M. Robblns of Or < l Is a .candidate for httorney general and as he Is an "out and out" republican will get a strong repub lican support. Ho Is a leading member of , the Ord bar. Was for three years county httorney of the county of Wheeler when Its territory Included what Is now Wheeler , aarflold and Loup counties. Was state sen ator during the winters of 1SSG and 1SS7. ffheso are the only political ofllccs he has Jichl. Jichl.B. J. Clements , who , with A. M , Robblns , ( divides the leadership of the Ord bar , will most likely bo the republican candidate for Iho state legislature. The only political Dfllco ho has held Is that of county attorney of Valley county for four years. With regard to the populists , Henry F. Rhodes Is the only candidate mentioned , flo Is said to be working for a nomination on the state ticket , cither that of auditor or secretary of state. It Is believed thst , falling of that , he will be renomlnated for the legislature. Valley county Is strongly populist and the prospects are It will remain eo for some time to come. i DODGE COUNTY. J 'As senatorial candidates In the Tenth dis trict Dodge county wilt probably present the lames of Trovoyon L. Mathews and John Thomson In conventjon , Mathews Is an ac- : lvo republican and a fluent speaker , has served one- term In the Illinois house of rcp- esentatlves. Thomson Is the present In- mmbcnt and as a straight line democrat has icrved several times as treasurer of this : lty. Neither of them will make all effort Jor. the nomination , but should either bo nominated ho will make a vigorous effort tor nn election and both will draw the full itrongth of their respective parties. E. C. llurns of Scrlbner. W. IX Haldbrook , nd Alexander Tunberg of Hooper with Earn- ist Kern of North Hcnd are spoken of as opublican candidate for the assembly , and ilther of them have the qualifications for an nllmmllal member. William M. Maupln , editor of the North Xlcnd Republican , has the assurance of many friends that he possesses the proper < iuall- Ucatlons for secretary of state and will bo kind of any assistance In securing the nomi nation , MacColI , Majors , Crounse and A. n. Cady kach have their friends as gubernatorial can- Uldates , but the test for delegates will bo between MacColI and Majors , with the odds In favor of MacColI , while the Cronnso and Cady man hope to pick up what crumbs may fall while MacColI and Majors are shaking the basket , ROCK COUNTY.

No candidates In this county for cither the state or legislative tickets. Delegates Will bo for MacColI for governor , 1'opullsts and democrats do not seem to hava a choice. MANNER COUNTY. This county has no candidate for places on either the IcgUlatlva or state tickets. For governor Jack MacColI Is the favorite nnd will receive Ilnnner county's vote unless another candidate enters the race farther For congressman cpnUinont'ls divided bp- twccn lluynor of Cheyonue and Daushorty of Keith. . SALINE COUNTY. As yet none of the parly county conven tions have been called , but there will bo no lack of candidates tor legislative honors \rhcn the time comes. On the republican Ida It U understood that Senator J. D. Tope and Representatives J. N. VanDuyn ami William Kaup ore not nvcrsa to a re- nomination. Among other aspirants whose names are being discussed by their friends ro 1) . T. Dr ko and W. O. Clmpman of Crete , John Jack nnd P. W. Grain of Dor chester. P. .1. Sadllek of Wllber , J. C. Mc- Clay ot North Fork , AOatu Il.imer of Tobl.is , ti. O. Westcott of Swanton , F. W. M > te of ttJoWltt , with W. II. Stalcy and W. II.

For governor , MacOoll has eome friends , but the majority ot the delegates from this county will favor MaJ'ir ' * t Ou the pipulIU aide the oarais now being discussed nro Editor Dowlby of Crete nnd J , W. Gilbert of Friend , for senator , and those ot II. L. Mclntyre of Friend , T. C. Fisher of Tobias , Gus Wldlck of Turkey Creek , Thomas Patz of Crete , and U. M. Hamey of WHbor , for representatives. The nominees , whichever they be , expect to secure the endorsement of the demo-pop or Ilryan wing of the democrats , and will bo first , last and nil the time for Uryan for governor , United Stales senator , president , road supervisor or anything else. On the democrntlo side the names ot Mayor Wil liam liurkc of Friend for nunalor and J. R. Holllngworlh of DsWItt and Sidney II , Smith of Crete nro the only ones mentioned. NEMAHA COUNTY. Politically speaking , Ncmaha county Is very quiet. The republicans have called their convention for the election of dele gates to the state and congrejslonal conven tions und for the nomination ot a legislative ticket for the 11th of August , but neither the democrats nor the populists have called theirs. The democrats and populists will probably fuse and give to the voters of this counly a demo-pop legislative Ucket with "Ilryan for senator" as their watchword. It this Is done , and party lines are closely drawn , tlio republicans will nave .a hard fight on hand. This county Is entitled to two representa tives In the legislature , ana this county and Johnson county together are entitled to one state senator and one representa tive , and If past Usages arc followed , John son county will take the senator and Nc maha county the representative this year. This will give this county three representa- llvcs and no senator In the legislature next winter. The names of Dr. S. W. McGrow , Thomas J. Crummel , John H. Pohlman , and M. C. Shurtllff are mentioned as candidates for representatives on the republican ticket , whllo no one has yet declared hJmself on the democratic or populist side for that ofllce. It is conceded that a solid delegation will bo chosen favoring Colonel Thomas J. Majors for governor on the republican ticket , and llarney Johnson would be more than pleased It the populists would choose him for their standard bearer , and he will prob ably name the delegates to their stale con- venllon. The career ot Colonel Majors Is too well known to need comment. Barney Johnson came to this county from Missouri In an early day , and up to the time of the populist movement was an old line demo crat. Ho was a member of the legislature In 1S93 and acquitted hlmselt with a good deal of credit , being elected as a populist , by the aid of democratic votes. BUFFALO COUNTY. The Buffalo county republican delegate- convenlion for the purpose of electing dele gates to the congressional and state conven tions will be held In Kearney on Saturday , July 28. There will be 113 delegates en- f tied to seats. So far the fire under the political pot In Buffalo county lias been burning very low , but the1 Indications are that It will get hot enough before the campaign Is over wllh. The popullals claim that the county belongs to them and that they have It solid , while on the other hand the republicans believe that with an earnest , organized and har monious effort on their part they can elect every man on their ticket. There has been but very little talk so far from any source concerning probable candi dates. The populists will umloubledly again put up A. J. Scott of Divide township , who represenled them In the legislature two years ago and served them satisfactorily. Ho has already consented to be a candidate and lhal means ho will undoubtedly get Hie nomination. On the republican side George E. Ford has beea prominently mentioned and he would not throw the nomination over his shoulder If It was given him , but ho Is not going to sacrifice harmony among the ranks for the sake of securing It. The friends of Rico Eaton are urging him to make a race for , the office of secretary of 4'ate on the lepubllcsn ticket , but so far Mr. Eaton has not given them any en couragement , . Should he decide to go Into i convention there will be no question as to whcro the delegates from this county will stand. He will get their undivided vote. Mr. Eaton has lived In this county for a great many years ; -was appointed postmasler under President Harrison and filled the ofllco with credit and honor to himself and satisfaction to Iho public. Moses II. Sydenham , the oldest setller In tills part of the country , has a congressional bso In his bonnet , and would imke an hon est , efficient officer , but Matt Dougherty seems to have the preference among republi cans In this county at present , and. will undoub'tcdly gel the delegat.on or at least bo well represented. For governor this county Is apparently solid for the hero at Lexington and will go Into convenlion wllh the cry , "We are all for Jack MacColI. " That "there must bo a western man for governor" Is all the talk hero now , and lhal will be necessary lo en- Ihusu and harmonize oil the factions. The democrats have so far made no attempt - tempt to put up a ticket or a man for any position. They will undoubtedly Iry to squeeze one In somewhere on a fusion com bine , and , In that case , W. D. Oldham will try to come In for a good slice of the pie as a reward for his generalship In conductIng - Ing the counly campalmi lasl fall when T. J. Scoll was elected register of desds. The populists , however , do not seem to bo very anxious for fusion this fall and will not let the democrats come In under the canvas If they can help It. Time alone can tell what the result w'll be. NUCKOLLS COUNTY. The two men most frequently mentioned ns candldalcs for the legislature ( lower house ) are George L. Day of Superior and J. Warren Kolfer of Bostwtck. Mr. Day has been a member of the state central commit ted from tills district and Is personally popu lar throughout the county. J. Warren Kulfer , jr. . Is a son ot lite father , who was at one time congressman from Springfield , O. , and was speaker of the national house of representatives. Mr. Kolfer Is proprietor of a largo ranch In this county , Is a man of ability and a slrong parly man. On Iho populist llckel David Guthrlo of Superior can undoubtedly have the nomina tion It ho wishes It. Mr. Guthrlc Is mayor ot Superior and Is personally popular. The general Impression among populists seems to bo that with Mr. Guthrle on their Ucket he can draw enough democratic support to them to carry the counly. Mr. Gulhrle has been a lite lung democrat , but the populists cialin his ( dens on finance are- acceptable to them and ho would doubtless support Mr , Bryan for senator. The republican delegation from this county to the state convention will go unlnstructed nnd will probably be divided between Majors und MacColI , The populist delegation to their state con vention will probauly bo In favor of Mr. Gnftln for governor. There was .considerable talk ot Mr. Bryan , but his candidacy docs not seem to meet with any greal favor with the middle of the- road pops. If Mr. Bryan should come squarely out and declare him self a populist he might get the support of this county In Iho populist convention , but ho will hardly get It unless ho does so. W. O. Bradley , the county clerk of this county , has been frequently mentioned as a candidate on the populist ticket for the office - fico ot state treasurer. Mr. Bradley Is a man of education nnd ability , Is now tcrvlng his second term as county clnrk of this county , Is personally popular nnd In the Iwo elec- lion1 In which he Iris been a candidate has proved himself stronger than his party. As an ojllclnl hn Is etilclonl and painstaking and lias given general ratlsfacllan , Mr. Bradley Is about 4 $ years old and U a man of good address. Ho was a democrat before the or ganization of the populist party and the dem ocrats of this county have always teemed to entertain a warm , brotherly feeling for him when ho has been a candidate on the populist ticket.DAWES DAWES COUNTY. Dawas county agiln comes to the front with Its usual number ot candidates for leg islative Donors. T. A. Coffey of this city is an avowed aspirant for the senate on the republican Ucket. A. E. Sheldon , editor ot the C In il roil Signal , n populist paper , U also a candidate , wh le the present populist senator from this district , II , G , Stewart ot Crawford , will again be In the fight. Ni ) democrat has as yet got up sufficient coung ? ( Continued on Third Page. ) HAVE PROVIDED THE PEN Ono with Which Cleveland Will Sign the Utah Statehood Bill Ready. PEN OF GOLD AND HANDLE OF SILVER Until ) nf Sixteen to One of the Tire Mctntn 1'rc'crved lu the C'oulpivdtlon of the Implement 1'rovlslons of the Hill. WASHINGTON , July 15. Private Secretary Thurbcr has In his custody nt the white house a gold pen sot In a silver holder. The Inplemcnt , from the .artisan's standpoint , Is a flno piece of work , but If It fulfills Us mission It will never be dipped In ink but once. That will be on Monday , July 1C , 1894 , and It will Inscribe the name of Drover Cleveland on a parchment headed : "An act to enable the people of Ulah lo form a con- slllullon and state government. and to be admitted to Iho union on an equal foaling wllh the original states. " Delegate Rawllns ot the territory of Utah , whose efforts were largely Instrumental In bringing about the passage of the act , secured the pen and holder and entrusted them Into the keeping of Secretary Thurber until the time for their use. Tomorrow Mr. Rawllns , having secured the signatures of Vice Presl- dcnl Slovenson and Acting Speaker Rich ardson to Ihe enabling acl , will carry II to Ihe white house for the presidential auto graph. The ceremony would have taken place Saturday but for Air. Richardson's absanco from the city , and It was hoped to have Speaker Crisp's name on the document , but Iho speaker will not return from Georgia In time. No one doubts that the president will sign the acl , and when ho has done so Mr. Rawlins will take charge ot Iho pen which has made it a law. At first It was Intended to have a solid gold pen and holder , but as Utah comes In as a bimetallic stale and the westerners , who are makingIho sliver light In politics , atlach some sentiment to the white metal , silver was allowe.d lo share honors at the accepted ratio. After the pen has done Its work Mr. Rawllns will take possession of It. It will be suitably engraved and en shrined In the slate capital ot the new state with Its oilier historical souvenirs. WHAT REMAINS TO .BE DONE. The signing of the act does not make Utah a state , but merely sets In motion the machinery by which she becomes one. De cember of 1S95 will probably be Ihe time when Utah will be entllled lo Iho forty-fifth star In the ling. The constitutional conven tion will meet next March to frame n late constltullon , which will be submitted to Ihe people for ratification at nn election in No vember , 1SD5 , when the governor and other state officers and a member of congress will be elected. If the constltullon Is ratified and If the president finds that It provides for a republican form of government under the provisions of the act of congress , he will Issue a proclamation announcing the fact and declaring Utah a state. The legisla ture elected at the November election will meet parly In December and one of Its acts will be to choose two United Stales senalors. It may be safely said the senior senator Is likely to bo the present delegate from the territory , whosefight forietatehood Is expected to certainly receive recognition , If Ihe views ot his congressional colleagues are shared by his constituents. The government pays the expenses of the territorial convention , as It does of the terri torial legislature. There will be a new r3g- Islrallon of Iho volers , upon which Ihe ap portionment of delegates lo constitute the convenlion w'll be made. Each 'county Is to have at least one delegate and one additional for every 2.000 v population. First , the con- venllonlsls declare on behalf of Ihe stale to adopt the constitution of the United Stales. Several Important requirements for Ihe stata constitution are made by congress ; that it shall be republican In form and mnkc no dlstlncl'on ' in civil or polillcal rank on ac count of race or color except as to Indians , who are not taxed ; thai It shall not be re pugnant to the constllullon of Ihe United Stales and the principles of Iho Dsclaralion of Independence. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ASSURED. Ono of Ihe mosl crucial requirement of the stale constitution , which was evoked by tha power of Ihe Mormon church , Is lhat It shall provide by ord'nance , Irrevocable without the consent of the United Stalls and the people of the stale , that perfect tolera tion ot religious sentiment shall bo secured and that no Inhabitants of tlio slate shall ever bo raolesled on account of their mode of religious worship , provided thai poly gamous or plural marriages are forever pro- hlblled. The state is to disclaim all lille lethe the unappropriated public lands and all In dian tribes are to remain under the absolulo Jurisdiction of the United States. However , the government concedes liberal grants of lands to the state for public purposes. One hundred sections are given for public buildIngs - Ings at the capital ; 90,000 acres for an agri cultural college ; two townships and 110.000 acres for tli2 University of Utah ; for Irrl- gallon purposes , 500,000 acres ; for nn Insane asylum , for a reform school , for a state normal school and for an Institution for the blind , each 10.000 acres ; and for a miners' hospital. 50.000 acres. The United Stales penitentiary near Sail Lake Is given lo Ihe slale. All granled lands are lo bo sold al public auction at not less than ? 5 an acre , but the stale may lease them for terms of five yearn. Ten per cent of the proceeds of the sale of public lands after the admission of the slate Is to bo paid by the government to Iho slale as a permanent fund for the support of the common schools , of which Iho interest only U available. It will be seen thai liberal provisions are made for educational Institu tions and charitable purposes , All , of Iho educational Institutions are to remain under the exclusive control of the state and no part of the proceeds of the land can ba used for the support of any sectarian or denominational school. These are Ihe principal provisions of the contract upon which thu government of Die forty-four existing fctntes admits to statehood tha state of Utah. Her population Is now estimated nt 225,000 and the proportion ot foreign born Is less thar In thirteen ot the states. AM , WAITING ON THU T.VItirP. Order ( > f llnslncxs In Congress Doppiuls firritlly on tliu Cunferciiru Itrport. WASHINGTON. July 15. There Is no set tled program for this week In the house. Everything will be subject lo displacement In favor ot the conference report on the tariff bill , when one is agreed upon. The house managers , in case a report Is made this week , are not disposed to allow too much tlmo lo ba consumed by debate , especlally.lt an agreement is reported on Iho vital dif ferences between the two houses. Though the tlmo will be limited It Is the desire ot Iho house manngers to glvo sufficient oppor tunity for the leading house members to place their positions squarely before the country. The absence ot Speaker Crisp , who Is expected on Tuesday , unless the condition of his sun docs not Improve , makes tha bus iness of the house pending the report from the conference problematical. Tomorrow Is suspension day and Tuesday will probably bo given to the committee on judiciary. Fur ther than that , however , no program has been mapped out. The only positive Indication for the week In the senate is that the consideration of the appropriation bills will be continued. There Is a probability a day or two will be given to the Chinese treaty and a possibility the' tariff conference report will call for attention In some shape. The taking up of the treaty will depind upon whether the manager of the appropriation bill will consent to yield the tlmo for it nnd the further consideration of the tariff question will depend upon whether the conferees shall make their re port , and incidentally upon the character ot the report when mado. Senator Gray , representing the Administra tion , Is very anxious to hnvo the treaty dis posed of nnd he has expressed the opinion that It will bo possible to | ; ot It up Tuesday or Wednesday. When considered It possibly will consume nn entlrel day If nol more time , -executive sesslod. Secretary Gresh- nm does not conceal the concern ho feels with regard to the treaty , nnd he has been reinforced during the past week In his ef forts to sccuro early nnd favorable consid eration by the presence nnd arguments of Minister Dcntsey , Who has visited the senate on two or three different occasions on thai behalf. It Iho tariff conference report shall reach the senate It will undoubtedly evoke con siderable discussion If It should attempt to lower Ihe rales or change any of Iho material amendments of thesenate. . When the senate adjourned Saturday the executive and judicial appropriation bill was under consideration. It Is expected when It shall be disposed of , as It Is thought It will been on Monday , the Indian appropriation bill will be taken up , nnd with that out of the way , Iho agrlcullural , Dlslrlct of Columbia , sun dry civil and general deficiency bills will be considered , probably In the order named. These will complete the list. It Is possible there will bo more or less debate on all of these bills , but If other question nro not al lowed to Interfere , all liamed can bo dis posed of during the week. COST Of TIIK OKNSUS.

The operations of the census office for the fiscal year endIng - Ing Juno 30 , are reviewed in detail In the annual report of Superintendent Wright. The tolal disbursement on account of the eleventh census to and Including June 30 , 1894 , were $10,365,077 , This was expended under different appropriations , as follows : Expenses , elevenlh census , $3,475,1-19 ; farms , homes and mortgage statistics , $1,287,073 , and printing , engraving and binding , $603- 155. The tolal force receiving campensa- llon at the end of the year was 072. . II Is expecled Ihls number will bo reduced dur ing Ihls year , so Ihe census work can be completed ready for the printer under the present appropriation. Small approprla- lions , however , will bo necessary nt the opening of congress In December for print ing nnd binding the final results , and for continuing a force 'of proof readers nnd revisers. The total number of printed pages of the census volume Is 22,290. Of Ihls 19,440 pages of copy has been pre pared and Iho rest will be finished during the next few months and under available appropriations. In accordance with the act approved April 21 , 1S94 , an abstrct of the census has been prepared , containing , however , only the re sults so far reached. A previous act called for a digest of Iho census , .which Colonel Wright considers unnecessary , and he recom mends that congress provide In some de ficiency bill next Dece'raber for dropping the digest and substituting for it a second edition of the abstract- extending Its size lo 300 pages and containing all essential tolals , and comparing' thm with , the tenlh census lotals. The report concludes : "In accordance with an act of congress , I took charge of the census -otUco October C , 1S93. After examining the. condition of the eleventh census , I reported ttrat"by June 30 , 1894 , copy for all the volumes- could bo In hand except for parts of the three reports relat ing to population , vital 'statistics ' and farms and homes. This Worjt has been carried on as far as It waft' Contemplated at the time. The balance of the reports can be ID copy In a vqry short time and under approprlallons 'now available.

" NEW WHISKY TA SCHEME. Five Cents I'or'fiallon n > Yrnr to Ho Added Afterrivo Years. ( WASHINGTON , July 15. The tariff con ferees have had suggested to them a plan for taxing whisky , one , of the largest revenue producing Hems , which has not herclofore been considered In cither the house or sen- ale bills. It was 'proposed by one of Iho senalors of Ihe conference and the sentiment toward It wllliln Iho committee Is quite fa vorable. The plan _ contemplales a sliding scale , minimum lax 'being $1 per gallon on whisky taken out of bond at the end of five years nnd advancing five cents per gallon for each year In bond beyond five years and not exceeding eight years. On this basis the tax would bo : Five years , $1 ; MX , years , $1.05 ; Eovcn years , ? 1UO ; eight years , $1.15. By Iho plan the eight year bondage period Is secured by Ihe distillers , although It Is offset by the tax of $1.15 per gallon If ad vantage Is taken of the full eight years. There was no meeting of , the conferees and no Informal gatherings of the two sides. Chairman AVIlson left for- West Virginia last night , where Mrs , Wllsontls still sick. Mem bers of the committee do nqt endorse Senator Brlce's stolcment that , ( here will be a re port of the committee disagreement next Wednesday. On the contrary. It Is stated positively thai It could find no Justification for a disagreement owing to the numerous things on which the committee have found they could come together. W 111 Agree to Il ngrco. WASHINGTON. July 15. Senator Brlco was laconic last night when asked for In formation as lo when thu tariff conferees would report. "The Report , " he said , "will be made lo Iho two houses on Wednesday of next week. The conferees will report a disagreement , nnd .both houses will In struct for another conference. " Other sen ators nlso predict a report will be made during the week , but are not positive as to the day. Some members of the commit tee , however , discourage the Idea that a report may bo expected during the week. Troops Will JCn iii-ciillyd Shortly. WASHINGTON , July 15.

"The names of Ihoso sent out Saturday will not be given out , " said President Debate to a reporlcr , "for fear of Ihelr being arrested for Inciting a strike. " It was learned else where , however , that this morning Dlreclor Kern was sent to St. Louis to rally the forces there. Hogan was sent out over the Norlhern Pacific lo stir up -employes of that company and Goodwin was sent over the Northwestern to use his Influence with the employes of that railway system and If pos sible Induce them to go out. These dele gates arc all membsrs of the executive board of the union. Other emissaries were sent out to work with the employes of the many lines entering this city. After this meeting adjourned nn enthuslasllc meeting was held In Uhllch's hall , President Debs presiding. Ho made a rousing speech , reminding one of the early days of the strike. "The strike. " said he , "Is now right now more prosperous nnd more encouraging limn ever before. We can and musi win. The men who have gone back to work will again come back to us and vlclory Is ours. "Grand Chief Arthur of the engineers Is a scab Jobber , and he' will go down In history as a traitor to organized labor. He Instructs his men to work with scabs and tells them that scabbing Is honorable. Ho Is a tool In the hands of Hie general managers. The strike Is weaker In Chicago than elsewhere , " continued Debs , "but It will grow stronger , Just as In the west It Is growing stronger every" hour. " Fifteen meetings were held In different parts of the city during the afternoon and evening , several of which were addressed by Debs. He will tomorrow give out a state ment In answer to the one made by Pull man. "Mr. Pullman's letter , " he said , In an In terview this morning , "Is the silliest and most foolish letler on such n subject that I over saw , and I shall make such an answer to It as will make him appear one of the most despicable persons on eirlh. " Mr. Debs said that several of his com- t mllleemcn had reported to him that the Rock Island. Lake Shore , Eastern Illinois , Grand Trunk and Western Indiana men would all bo out-.agaln lomorrow. Nothing could bo learned o'ulslde to verify this asser tion , however. CLAIMS HE WILL YET. WIN. President Debs visited the stack yards to day and addressed a crowd of strikers , who 'have foVflTe tnoSt'parf falleH'to secure thefr od : positions. Ho urged them lo continue the strike , which , he dsclared , was never nearer to victory than now. The men agreed to stand by Dobo , but at Ihe same lime ex pressed Ihemselves vlolenlly against the men who have taken their places. The switch men and englnemen were especially loud In their protests against a surrender. The butchers also had hitler words , all these men having their Jobs filled the day before by nonunion Imported men. The opinion was expressed loudly that the war was only be gun. During the day the district was plas tered and covered wllh bids and posters rending its follows : The executive board of the Knights of Labor do hereby advise all workmen to keen away from the stock yards on Monday , as It" Is the desire of all organized bodies that all honest worklngmon should do so and wo further condemn the action of the coopers In returning to work as high-handed and selfish , without asking concessions for the laborers , and that all men found working In the yards on Monday will forever bo branded as enemies of organized labor. BY ORDER OF THE COMMITTEE. Thomas F. Healhcote , one of the leaders of the Pullman strike commltleeT admits that Iho strlkn , so far as the Pullman em ployes are concerned , Is practically over. According to his views , the men have been literally slarvcd oul. The dlfterencas be tween employes and employers , ho says , is slight , a mere matter of rent. Mr. Heath- cote was somewhat disheartened today as ho spoke about the strike and the prospects. "The men ( hero arei becoilng unman- ageble. It takes all the leaders can do to keep them In line. The people have no money. I believe lliat not one-third of the man have enough mousy to pack their goods and move as far as Kensington. I , myself , have not a dollar In the house. Those who had a little saved up have used It up , and every day more and more are coming to Ihe relief fund In order to keep alive. " ] Itii.ANI : ) ( IN Till : STIUIvC. Mistakes T.iibor HUH Miulo In thn Trouble Mm- curing mi Kml. CHICAGO , July 15. Archbishop Ireland ot St. Paul being asked what ho had to say upon the railway strike today , spoke as fol lows : "I dislike to speak of the Chicago strikes because , In EO doing , I shall blame labor , while because of my deep sympathy wllh It , I should wish to have never but words ot praise for it. Yet , In a momentous social crisis , such as the one through which wo are passing , it is n duty to speak loud and to make avowal of the Irnlhs and prin ciples which will save society and uphold justice , and I am glad of the opportunity which a representative of the Asosclated press affords mo. The fatal mistake which has been made In connection with this strike Is that property has been de&lroycd , the llberly of clllzens interfered wllh , human - man lives put in danger , social order men aced , the Institutions and freedom ot the country put In most serious Jeopardy. The minute such things happen , nil possible ques tions as lo the rights .and grievances ot labor must bo dropped out ot sight and all efforts ot law abiding citizens and of public olllclals made to servo In maintaining oredr and guarding , at all costs , the public weal. Labor must learn thnt however sacred Its rights may be , there Is something above and absolutely supreme social order and the laws of public justice. There is no civil crlmo as heldcous , as pregnant of evil ro- eults as resistance lo law and the constitu tional authority of the country. This resist ance Is revolution ; it bcgts chaos ; It Is an archy ; It disrupts the whole social fabric. "Labor , too , must learn the lesson that the liberty of the citizens Is to bo respected , Ono man has the right to cease from work , but ho has no right to drive others from work. He who respecls nol the liberty of others shows himself unworthy of his own liberty and incapable ot citizenship In a free country , "Riots and mob rule , such us has occurred in Chicago , do Immense harm to the cause ot labor and sets back Us advance whole decades - cades of years. Labor thereby loses the earnest sympathy of thousands of friends and gives courage and triumph to Its enemies , "Worse yet , the principle of popular gov ernment suffers. It U no wonder that , read ing ot the occurrences In America , Eurojo announces that the republic Is a failure and that a strong monarchy only can hold so ciety together. "I am far from saying that labor has not had Its grievances In America nor that re dress must not be sought. I would not re spect Iho laborer who socks not to enjoy nil his right ? and to improve his condition. But all this must be done within the lines of social order nnd law. The remedy for the e Ills Is a healthy public opinion nnd fair pub lic legislation. And nil legitimate efforts In these directions , wlulo by flngtc net or united force are laudable. For my own part 1 be lieve the largo number of men who Join strikers nro more to be pitied than to bo blamed. They are led on by nn Irresponsible and tyrannous chlof. Labor unions have greal statues , but one marked cvH In them , In that they put the liberties of tens ot thou sands In the keeping of one man or of a tew who bocnmo their absolute masters , their despotic czars. "The solution lo the differences between capital nnd labsr Is nccfssarlly complex nnd no one precise formula has been or can bo found. A generous reuse of Justice toward nil , deep love of ono's follows nnd attentive listenings to the teachings of Christ will lead on all sides to a better understanding and to- happier mutual relations. Certain It Is that so far as It is possible , the laborer should not lack the means of support fur himself and his family ; lie should not bo overburdened cither In weight or time of labor ; ho should bo treated as n rational and a moral being , with all respect duo hh human dignity. Ills remuneration , If dimin ished In periods of depression , should In crease In periods of prosperity ? "Yes , I approve highly of President Cleve land s course In the strike ; his prompt nctlon brought state officers and strikers to their sense and It Is certain tha In no fur as he went ho did right with them. Mr. Cleve land deserves well ot Iho nation ami'ot the pcopla of Chicago In particular. iuv. itr.no CIIDATK-S A SKNSAFIOX. Sny ClirNt and III * rollowrw Wro AniirchlHlM. DENVER , July 10. Rev. Myron Reed de livered an address before a larne meeting held under the auspices of the A. R. U. , In which declared that he was an' anarchist. He continued by saying , "Jesus Christ was not only an anarchist , but he was killed by the representatives of the law , the church and state , for daring lo practice humanity. Jesus Christ was an anarchist and a socialist , but I never read of his being a deputy sheriff. ( Cheers. ) Nothing has discouraged me so much In the past few weeks ns to sec so many men anxlous'lo lake a gun and offer to go out and shoot their fellowmen for Iho pittance ot $3 per day. I look at this effort now being made by such men as Pullman as an effort lo break up all organizations of laboring men , so lhat they can deal with the worklnpmen one by one and gradually gut them down to pauperism and serdom. -"I have been criticised for saying that any man had the right to take his labor away from any employer , but had not the right to interfere with any other man for taking his place. I say now that he has a right to In terfere If ho docs It In a peaceable way. It Is right and Just for every man to protect his wages and his job. 1 also say that a man who does not belong to a union and slands ready lo lake anolher man's place al less wages Is an enemy , a spy and an obstructer - structor and ought In some peaceable way to bo removed. " He predicted that unless something was speedily done for the laboring classes , this country would be plunged Into one of the greatest revolutions Ihe w'orld has ever known. \ritoNG IMSTKD : so.n i\vn 1:111 : .

Rev.- Thomas Dlxon , jr. , who finds a text for each Sunday's sermon In the events of the preceding week , preached In association hall today on the strike. "This greaT nprlsrng "bl tmT'loborlng classes , which had cost the country $10,000- 000 and was likely to cost ? 5,000,000 more , had Its origin In a great injustice perpe trated by somebody.

Three les sons , however , had ben learned by Iho slrlke : Firsl , lhat the railroad managers were ut terly Incapable of handling the railroads the moment a strlko was precipitated. Second , that mob vloh-nc and disorder would under no circumstances bo tolerated by the Ameri can people. 'Third , that the national'govern ment alone has the power to break such a strlko and raise Ihe railroad blockade , from which follows the logical conclusion the na- Uonal government should own the railroads of the country. The railroads , he said , were built strictly for Iho accommodallon of Iho public and neither labor leaders nor railroad managers should have tha power nor be per mitted to Interfere with the public rights. If the national government owned the rail roads , it would be high trason for anyone to do such a thing. o\iit : TIII : KKMAINS.

Tlio Yout , * People's Society of Christian Endeavor has undertaken another great project , which Is nothing less than an attempt to enlist nil the members of tliat organization with llio leading ilenoinlnatloif.il boards In a wldo- rciiehlng anil thorough campaign to arouse the missionary spirit among all Christians , It Is a missionary extension movement sim ilar to university extension , The plan was evolved by Stephen L. Mcrshon , u Chicago business man , who became Interested In the Christian Endeavor several years ngo. His Idea was to have the various boards unlto In securing good lecturers to speak In various places upon missionary work and thus arouse Interest among the people. Mr. Murshon wao anxious that the Society of Christian Endeavor should take hold of the enterprise. Accordingly ho came to Cleve land In order to sccuro the endorsement ol his plan by the society. For two days ho was In conference here with representatives of all the denominational missionary boards. A meeting was finally held with the En- dr.ivor trustees and the following resolu tion was adopted by the trustees : * Resolved. That the trustees of the United Society of Christian Endeavor grant to the Christian Endeavor missionary extension course their approval and endorsement as a wise and economical method of arousing In the young people on Interest In life mission ary uorlc of the Church of Christ and that the United Society of Christian Endeavor 'hid In this by advising their state and local or ganizations to avail themselves of the plans of the Christian Endeavor missionary course. Mr. Mcrshon explained his plan at the tent meeting this afternoon and succeeded In arousing much enthusiasm. He said 5,000 societies had given $135,000 last year to denominational missions.
