an i\ldrnce. :
CHICAGO , July 17. E. V. Debs. G. W.
lloward , L. W. Rogers and Sylvester Kell-
her , the officers of the A. R. U. , were com
mitted to jail today by Judge Seaman In the
United States court for alleged violation of
the Injunction Issued by Judges Wood and
Orosscup. The four leaders of the strike In
reality went to jail In default of ball , for
the court offered them their liberty until
next Monday , when they will have a hear
ing on the charge of contempt. Their ball
wa.s fixed at ? 3,000 each , but the men re
fused to glvo It and the court committed
them. Debs nnd his companions were taken
to Jail by Marshal Arnold and before they
left the court room Judge Seaman In
structed the marshal to let them out of
Jail at any reanonabto time or times that
they may ha\o abundant opportunity to con
sult with their attorneys between this and
next Monday.
This morning District Attorney Mltchrlst
filed an Information In court charging the
officials of the union with violating the In
junction and asked for a writ of attachment
for contempt. It was unnecessary to Issue n
writ for Debs , for ho was In court when the
Information was filed. When the Injunction
was filed by Judges Grosscup nnd Wood
the usual chancery summons was Issued and
those named In the Injunction were directed
to appear In court yesterd ly to
answer. That was what brought
Debs In court with the attorneys
who have been retained to defend
him and his brother officers. The Informa
tion was read to the court by Attorn-'y Mil-
chrlat. When he finished reading the In
formation Attorney George R. Peck , rep
resenting1 the receivers of the Santa Fe sys
tem , took the lloor and read a petition for
wits of attachment against the defendants - ,
ants on behalf of that railroad. The pe- ,
tltlon asked that the defendants bo punished !
for contempt for violating the order appointing - ]
pointing the recelvcrb as well as for violating
lating the general Injunction as It applies
to the Santa Fe. A number of acts of
violence were aliened and Interference with
trains.
The formal proceedings began at 2 o'clock ,
when the attorney for the defendants asked
that they be released en their personal
recognisance. Judge Seaman finally de
cided to set the case for next Monday , nnd
fixed ball at $3,000 each. The four men
made no attempt to furnish ball , and vveru
committed to jail until Monday.
A telegram was produced In court sent
by Debs on July 2 to North Ilutte , Mont.
It read : "General managers are vvciKenlng.
If the strike Is not bottled In forty-eight
hours complete paralysis will follow. Po
tatoes and Ice are out of sight. Save your
money and buy a gun. "
DKHS WAS l.IKi : A M
Patrick Mcltrydo DuicilltuH Iho Conference
llh tlm I' , delation of Labor.
COLUMUUS , O. , July 17. "The conference
lately held In Chicago under the auspices of
the American Federation of Libor was ono
of the most Important labor gatherings ever
held In this countiy , " said Patrick McBryde ,
secretary-treasurer of the United Mlno
Workers , today. Mr. McUrydc represented
the national union of miners In the confer
ence and In speaking ot the gathering gave
an interesting side light on the proceed
ings.A .
A convention of local unions , Mr. Me-
Drydo said , had declared In favor of a
general strike and demanded the presence
of Mr. Gompcrs In Chicago. Mr. Oompcrs
recognized the gravity of the situation and
ent telegrams to all the national and Inter
national trades unions , and to different rail
road brotherhoods ot firemen and trainmen.
President Arthur of the engineers wrote that
ho was unable to be present.
As the conference was about to convene n
delegation from local unions that had already
left work Informed the delegates that If
they did not agree to call a national sus
pension tlio btrlke was lost and that the
conference would bo hold tesponsiblo for
the defeat.
The delegation was iiuletly but firmly In
formed that the conference would take such
action an It believed to bo In the Interest
ot the workingincn of the country.
After the delegates had listened to a
statement made by Mr. Debs and Investi
gated for themselves Into the trouble at
Chicago a peculiar state of affairs presented
Itself.
There was Mr. Debs and the A. R. U.
on the ono side and there was Mr. Pullman ,
the railroads anil the different brotherhoods
on the other. The representatives of the
firemen and trainmen , while * opposed to
the strike , or rather to the boycott , had
nothing but words of pr.ilso for Mr. Debs ;
for his associates they had nothing but
words of condemnation , Indeed , It has seldom
been my lot to hear men get such a scoring
as Mr. Howard and other members of the
A. U. U. board , except It bo the language
used against P. M. Arthur of the en-
englnecrb by the trades union delegates at
the confcionco.
It bo.ms that the organizers of the A. R ,
U. had been so Indiscreet as to confess that
they Intended to break up the older oiganl-
ratlons , and hoisted that It only required
victory of the piesent battle In order to bo
successful.
THEY WERE ALL AFRAID.
"It can readily bo seen , therefore. " con
tinued Mr , Mcliryde. "that the boycott at Chicago
cage was not only a light against capital ,
but a Ufa and death slruggln between the
different labor organization. The olili'r
orders , being on the sldo ot Uio coipoiutlons ,
It Is but fair In slate th.it some of the
brotherhoods , llko the trainmen , although
opposed to the strike' , allowed the membcis
to ae-t for themselves , and over 15.000 of
them joined hands with the A. R. U.
"You must declare tor a national suspen
sion , " H.itd the trade unionists of Chicago.
"Tha fight Is a light of capital va labor. "
said Mr. Debs.
"You have no right to takii sides with ono
organization ogltnst another , " said the
brotherhoods ,
"Havo a little common sense and keep the
men you re-picsont out of this muddle , "
whlnperrd conscience.
And 1.0 the delegates talked , discussed and
talked all around the subject , e.ich afraid
to spring a resolution lest It might be pre
mature In this condition Mr. liebn found
the confcrerce1. He iculUcil t'to ' dlllleult task
ho had to perform The men he was ud-
dreeing were not amateur * In iho matter of
labor nig.inl'utlon. A number of them hid
more experience than hlnin'K. Thu man
seemed an Icicle , but his vole.i held his heai-
crs spellbound as he recited the buffering of
tlio workmen at Pullman , the high-handed
policy ot the board ot nunageia , and the
determination of the men to light to the
end.
end.The delegates seemed magnetized.
"What .do you want ua to do ? " cxclalmuil
one. Then the matchless ability ot the man
wan manifested , In a tone ot deep sorrow
ln > exclaimed ; "Nothing. "
A long pause , and then Mr , Deb said : " 1
11 sk nothing ut you , gentlemen , but If I were
In , your place I will tell you what I would
do. "
Then Mr. Debs spoke In favor of a gcneial
strike
UROKK TUB SPELL.
A sharp exclungo of words between Soc-
rctary McQuIro cf thtt uupentcrs and Mr ,
Debs ( ollnvd. Mr Ucbn having the b at of
It , but the dlHciutio.i br 1 ' ) hpcll tha
delegatewcro once more business men
and Mr. D'bs soon realized It , for he changed
lih tactlci at once.
"I luve a telegram from Wash nqton , " lie
uahl. "Tho president I * going to appoint
an arbitration committee , so I have prepared
the following document , with the consent of
the conference , I. would wish President
Oompers to pre cnt to the board of gen
eral managers. "
He then proceeded to read the document
presented by Mayor Hopkins calling off the
strike on condition that the Old men bo re-
Instated. He left the document and the con
ference promised to send him an an wcr.
A little rcllcctlon on behalf ot the dele
gates and they reall/eil that If Mr. Uompcrs
was the bearer ot the message and the man
agers retired to accept It the American
Federation of Labor would be placed In an
embarrassing position.
It wan resolved to tell Mr. Debs that he
could choose any three gentlemen In the
conference who would with an equal num
ber of citizens and Mr. Debs call upon the
board of managers , but Mr. Compere must
not go alone.
Hour after hour the conference waited for
Mr. Debs' reply , but none came until the
afternoon papers announced the fact that
Mayor Hopkins had pre ented the document
and that President Debs had jumped the con
ference.
The delegates looked sheepish when they
rcall/ed they had narrowly escaped being
trapped Into bringing all the horrors of a
general strike upon the country.
After a hearty laugh they Issued the docu
ment advising the men to return , which has
appeared In the press , and adjourned to their
homes wondering what brought them to Chi
cago.

WASHINGTON , July 17. The dally re
ports received at the War department from
the troops engaged In preventing dis
turbances on the railroads In the west show
that the resistance of the strikers has gen
erally diminished from formidable rioting to
petty annoyance nnd obstruction. This Is
particularly true of the northwest. General
Merrltt at St. Paul , for Instance , reports
that obstructions have been encountered on
the Great Northern railroad , running north
from St. Paul , likewise at Livingston , Mont ,
there Is trouble , and , In fact , much friction
exists on ad the Pacific roads.
From San Francisco General Rugcr re
ports that It will be necessary to send the
trains under guard for some time to come.
General Miles reported to headquirters the
frightful -accident at Chicago yesterday.
General Miles will take steps to ascertain
how It occurred , and he may appoint a
board for this purpose. As soon as In
General Miles' Judgment it will bo advisable
to do so , the regular troops now at Chicago
will bo withdrawn , but until General Miles
so recommends no suggestion or outside
request will have any Influence with the
authoiltleB here. The history of the Chicago
cage riots has confirmed In official circles
hero the belief In the soundness of General
Schoflcld's favorite policy of consolidating
the troops at great central pnsts near the
large cities. It Is the Intention of the
department now to carry out this policy
just as f.lst as prudence permits. The first
manifestation of this decision will be at
Chlcigo , for although the troops will be with
drawn from the city they will all be quartered
at Fort Sheridan , fifteen miles away , and
none of the many batteries and troops that
have been brought to Chicago from castein
and western points will be sent bick to
their posta. They will constitute the per
manent garrison ot Fort Sheridan , which ,
with this powerful force so located as to be
easily and quickly massed at Chicago or
any point of disturbance , will become one
of the first units of the new system of
army posts. Unless congress shall provide
for a substantial Increase of the regular
army this may Involve the practical aban
donment of many of the smaller posts In the
west.

BIRMINGHAM , Ala. , July 17. B rnllng-
ham has been In a fever of excitement today
over the attack of striking miners on the
nonunion men and deputy sheriffs at Pratt
mines last night. The air has been thick
with rumors as to the number of killed
and Injured In the battle , some of the re
ports placing the list of dead at twelve and
the wounded ac ICO , but from trustworthy
Information It Is learned the list given last
night Is correct. Six men were killed and
about fifteen wounded. It Is Impossible to
sccuro a full list of the wounded on account
of the rioters hurriedly taking their In
jured from the field and secreting them.
The dead , are :
B. W. TIERCE , chief of the guards.
JOHN FLORK. a Frcnrh rioter.
THREE UNKNOWN NEGROES , nonunion
miner i.
ANTHONY CARROLL , a negro miner.
The wounded , as far as Known , are as
follows :
Gcorgo Camp , n negro miner ; will die.
R. Rlgnca striking miner ; wilt die ,
Caleb Jones , a striking miner.
I'hlllu Stelnltz , a striker.
Barney Anderson , a negro nonunion miner.
The Indignation of the citizens reached a
climax tills afternoon when a mass meeting
was held to denounce the strikers. Strong
resolutions were adopted and a committee on
public safety was appointed to aid the"author
ities In bringing the guilty parties to Jus
tice. Speeches were made by prominent
citizens , in which the strikers were de
nounced as bushwhackf rs and assassins. Gov
ernor Jones was highly praised for his
prompt action In taking steps to suppress
the rebellion. The miners are guarded by
fifteen companies of boldlers tonight , with
ordrrs to shoot to kill , and It another attack
Is made the troops will make short work of
the rioters. Fifty-four strikers were ar
rested during the day , and fifty more will bo
arrested tomorrow mornlnc. The prisoners
were brought to Birmingham ard ore being
guarded by a strong force of deputy sheriffs
at the coutny jail.

Southern Tactile Will Not HUk KnnnliiK
Tin-in tit Night.
SAN FRANCISCO , July 17. The Southern
Pacific company continued to run passenger
trains more or less regularly during the
hours of daylight , but all night trains are
still being abandoned. For the present but
one westbound and ono castbound overland
train a day will bo run on the Ogden line.
Nonunion train crews are flocking to division
headqu.uters and this Is prouably the reason
why bo few freight tralr.b are being moved.
The first fruit train dispatched for the east
slnco the strike was ordered by Debs was
sent out of Sacramento this morning.
At Saciamento the only exciting Inc dent
of today was the dispatching of a train bearIng -
Ing sl\ty United States regulars to Duns-
mulr on the Oregon branch. The compjny's
agent at Dunsmulr reported that the strikers
there were becoming ugly. The strikers at
Sacramento continue active , however. Yes
terday several hundred men who had obeyed
the order to strike returned to work In the
machine bhopa. Th s morning most of them
remained away. The men have been Intimi
dated by the strikers and feared violence
at the hands of the A. R. U men If they
went back to work this morning.
Vice Piesldent Tow ue of the Southern Pa
cific posted a notice today that the Sacra
mento shops would Us rcopaned tomorrow
and that protection would bo afforded all men
who desired to return to work. Mr. Towne
also publicly denies the published state
ments that men return ng to work are com
pelled to sign an agreement to stand aloof
from all laboi unions. He declares that the
company simply Insists that its employes
shall have nothing to do with the A. R. U.
In Oakland , as well as In Sacramento , the
railroad officials are meeting with difficulty
In goUl.ig enough men to run their shops
and man their trains. The strikers have
been practically successful In Intimidating
the men who otherwise might have stepped
Into vacant positions. Today , however , a
few more men returned. Many of these
men were escorted to and from their work
by troops of cavalry. The passage of these
odd-looking processions through the streets
of OiKlami afforded about the only excite
ment at that point today. One man , supposed
to be a striker and In whose possession sev
eral st cks of dynamite were found , was ar
rested near the railroad yards by soldiers
and 'uKen to the city prison.
Tht J. IKcis today Instituted habeas cor
pus r .ccedlngs to recover Edward Jest ,
ono of their leaders , who h locked up In a
box car on the mole and guarded by sol
diers. Jest , disguised as a sailor , was ar
rested last night. The eoldlcrs found him
crouching under a Pullman car In the rail
road yards. The railroad company's pay
car , bearing $ ino,000 , passed down the Oak
land mole today and through the city , dls-
burs.ng wages for .May nnd June. Strikers
who came to the car were told to decide
whether they would return to work or not
If they elected to return their May wages
were paid them. If they refused every dollar
lar that the company owed them was
handed out. The pay car will proceed by
easy stages Into the San Joaqtiln valley ,
along all the branches , thence to Los An-
geltj , to Uma and eastward as far as El
Paso.

MISSOULA , Mont. , July 17. An eastbound
Northern Pacific train , the first In sixteen
davs , was wrecked today at n point about
two miles east of here by a dynamite cart
ridge concealed In the track. The engine
had barely struck the spot when a terrific
explosion was heard , the bhock shattering
the pilot and right cylinder and piston rod.
It also broke the windows of the cab nnd
mall ear. Had the engine gone fairly over
the cartridge , the result would have been
more disastrous , as some eight coaches con
stituted the train , which was loaded with
troops and passengers. The strikers de
nounce the act In unmeasured terms. There
Is considerable feeling here over the return
to work of some engineers and conductors ,
nnd it Is said some one In sympathy with
the strikers adopted this method of deterring
further progress. A trestle 100 feet long ,
three miles west of here , and one 150 feet
long oa the Coeur d'Alne branch were
burned last night.

HELENA , Mont. , July 17. Reports from
all portions of Montana are to the effect that
trains are running on the Northern Pacific
main line close to the schedule time , and
that the company has enough applications
to fill -every vacancy. All engineers and con
ductors , with a few exceptions , have applied
for work , and the company" hopes to soon bo
able to handle freight. The only delay new-
comes form the destruction of bridges. Slnco
the road first begun t6 to under military
protection more than twenty bridges have
been destroyed by fire. In the labt twenty-
four houis three bridges have been burned
on the Rocky mountain division. People of
the whole state are becoming aroused over
the burning of bridges , nnd volunteers are
coming forward with offers to guard bridges
and to shoot nny man caught In any act
that will endanger life. Tlio state has of
fered a reward of $1,000 for the capture of
any poison guilty of such work.

American Railway unloiii to serve as deputy
United States marshals for the purpose of
protecting nonunion trainmen employed by
the Southern Pacific cprnpiny to operate Its
trains. The men offer to setvo without
pay and make only ono condition , that they
shall not bo called upon to abslst In any
way In the movement of trains except to
protect property and men. The strikers say
this offer is made In good faith , In the In
terest of farmers and merchants of the
Pacific coast , so that they may move their
products and merchandise , provided the
Southern Pacific company can find the men
to man their trains.

A. Demcrs against the Massachusetts Bene
fit association of IJoston for $17.000 nnd by
C. A. Chcncvcrt for $3,000 are tlie forerun
ner1) of a most sensational Insurance case.
Doth claims arc for policies ticlil by the
late Mr. La Ferrlcre of Ilcrthler , who hid
transferred them to the plaintiffs , creditors
of his before his death. T'io ' benefit asso
ciation contests the payment on the ground
that the policies were not legilly obtnlncd ,
that there was Impersonation , as Ln Kerrlcro
was near death when the examination Is
supposed to have taken place. Politics
liavo also crept Into the case. The plain
tiffs arc well known members of the liberil
party In the province and ft lends of the de
posed Premier Mcrclcr , and It Is alleged that
the Insurance Rchenio was arranged to ob
tain the necessary campaign funds. The
conservatives , who are at present In power ,
\\lll assist the company to the fullest ex
tent. La Ferrlcre died poma time In Febiu-
ary and the matter has boon hanging evtr
since. Hobldcaux , Mercler's ex-attorney
general , Is acting for the plaintiffs.

LONDON , July 17. Lord Salisbury In the
House of Lords today mo\ed the second read
ing of the alien bill. Lord Hoscbery there
upon declared the question was less urgent
than at the time the nnhlo marquis was
In office , when no legislation \v.is thought
necessary. Allen Immigration had greatly
decreased. Ho had the authority of the
police officer ) , to say no outrages against
foreign governments had been hatched In
Great Britain. The present laws provided
a sufficient remedy against persons medi
tating crimes. He said the government
could accept no part of the bill.
Lord Salisbury generally defended the
position ho had taken and atd In regaid
to crimes hatched In England that It was
the fault of the law and not of the police
that England was a most unwilling harborcr
of such criminals. Ho did not expect the
bill would pass at the present session , but
the responsibility lay with the government.
The measure then passed Its second reading
by a vote of S9 to 37.

Much still remained to be lemovul when the

HA55ELTON , Pa , , July 17. Two hundred
sticks of giant powder exploded In the midst
of n gang of miners nt Stockton colliery No.
8 today and not enough of the men's bodies
was loft for Identification.
On account of the distance of the Stock
ton colliery from the main breaker It has
been customary to send the dynamlto nnd
other c.\ploslvcs In boxes to No. 8 and
there distribute them to the workmen at
the bottom of the second shaft as they
appear In the morning on their way to
work. It was Ch.iilcs O'Donncll's duty to
distribute the dynamite and cups. The first
men to go down Into the shaft today wcro
the drivers , and thcso arc the only men to
return alive from tlio oicnlng. How many
men or who they were who followed In the
next cage will not bo known until a list ol
tlio living Is taken.
The drivers went Into the stables to
harness their mules and while they wcr
thus engaged the explosion took place ,
Charles Schugcrt says ho saw about a dozen
men htandlug about O'Doiuicll receiving
their powder a moment before the explosion
took place. The drivers wcro hurled
about promiscuously and the men
were paralysed with fright. Fear
ing an explosion of gas had taken
place and that a collapse of the cnt're ' mlno
was about to follow , they waited for death.
U was In tills position they wcro found by
some miners fiom No. 2 , who hastened
through the subterranean passageway to No.
3. As teen as lights Vcro seen the de
moralized drivers hastened to the bottom of
the shaft. There the horrible sight met
their gaze. Strewn over the twisted nnd
torn timbers woic fi.igments of human flesh
and bones and limbs of the unfortunate
mlneis. The men were too much affected
to attempt to remove the remains of the
dead.
Hoscutnc parties were soon formed and
headed by Superintendent Roderick a corps
of miners descended Into the mine. The
work of recovering the bodies was at once
begun , but It was a difficult task. Frag
ments of human llc.hji were found some dis
tance up the Mope , clinging to the rails and
tics and sticking to the roof , while every
where were boneb anil limbs. It Is believed
that at least a dozen men vv re blown to
pieces.
After surveying the work of destruction
Foreman Shugart emerged from the pit and
Instituted preparations for bringing to the
surface the remains of the victims. After
all had been arranged , the hoisting to the
8in face commenced. In order that the feel
ings of the i datives of the men might bo
spared It was arranged to holnt each box
to the top of the tower , and from there
take them to their several homes. As each
box nppcired on the burfaco an .igonMnR
wall went up fiom the multitude In watting.
Women tore their hair and shrieks of agony
rent the air.
The officials did everything possible to
assuage their grief , but very Ilttlo could ba
done. .
The names of the victims as far as known
are- CHARLES O'DONNELL , aged 25. mar

ANDREW TAT10L. aged 38 , married.
