CHICAGO , July IS. At the county Jail
4oday Vice President Howard of the Ameri
can Railway union made the following re
markable statement : "This thing Is getting
to be a test case. We don't consider our
selves bigger than the law nnd Incidentally
wo think the railroads are not. Wo nro
getting some evidence for the coming legal
battle. Hero Is a letter I have received
telling of evidence that most of the' freight
car burning hero In Chicago was done by
two men In the employ of the General Man
agers association. Ono cf the secret agents
of a certain committee saw two men on the
night of the big flro going through the yards
with a hand car loaded with Inflammable
waste , which they lighted and systemmatl-
cally threw among the cars. This agent
overheard a conversation between the men
from which ho gleaned that they were paid
$200 down and were to receive $300 more
when the Job was done. This , understand ,
1 was before the troops were called out. An
effort Is now being made to arrest these two
men. We further have pretty positive evi
dence that the big man who led the mob of
C.OOO nt Blue Island was a Plnkerton man ,
employed by tlio railroads and It Is signifi
cant that although he could be easily Identi
fied , yet Irc has not been arrested It Is
Bafo to say that this case will not be en
tirely one-sided. "
DEBS ENJOYING A REST.
President Debs passed a fairly comfortable
night at the county Jail nnd early today or
dered a good breakfast brought In from
n neighboring hotel. Debs lefuscd to bo

A largo party of the personal friends of the
Imprisoned strlko leaders called early 'nt the
county Jail. The dally corridor scrubbing
ras In progress and no one was admitted
for some time. President Debs sent word
down to the waiting visitors that himself
and friends had enjoyed n good night's rest
nnd had nothing to say that would Interest
the public. Before noon Debs came down
f Dm his cell to meet Stenogtapher Benedict
of the A. R. U. , who had arrived with a
bundle of mull for him. Tlio president
was In a good mood. "I have had the best
night's sleep I have had In a month or
more , " said ho. "Nothing dliturbed rue , not
oven the ghost of that nun who was hanged
the other day , and whose spirit is said to
be roaming nbout In 1me. I have absolutely
nothlns to add to what I have already said
concerning our arrest. Wo are here and
will stay hero until next Monday at least.
President Debs then fell to looking over
his big batch of mail matter. Secretary
Kellher came down from his cell In the
debtor's department and while awaiting his
turn In the barbsr's chair said "Wo are
enjoying the respite from work. "
PULLMAN'S MEN BREAK RANKS.
The first break In the ranks of the Pull
man strikers has octirrcdi 150 Hollanders
having been put back to work on the tracks ,
back of the Pullman foundry. The men
quit -wjrk when the strike was declared and
stayed out until now. No effort was made by
the other strikers to prevent the men from
going back to work.
The butchers continue returning to work
nt the stock yards. Among them Is Vice
President Hazard of the butchers union. The
Bheep butchers at Armour's have received a
rulse > of 25 cents a day In their wages and
four and a half dajs' work a week has been
guaranteed them. All the houses were kill-
Mayor Hopkins denies n report that he has
been taking steps to secure the removal of
tlie federal troops from the city. Ho stated
he would not order the return of any of the
mllltla today. Asked If ho had consulted
with General Miles as to tlio withdrawal of
the troops the mayor said : "No ; General
Miles has nothing to say about it. The de
partment at Washington attends to that
A general may bo a b'.g man In a city like
Chicago , but like n congressman ho is not
much at Washington "
At Uhllch's hall , the A. R. U. headquar
ters a larger crowd was gatheted today than
for several days past. The arrest of the
leaders was discussed hy the excited groups
that stood about the committee rooms nnd
hallways and the action of the authorities
was severely crltici/ed Several nt the
local organUers dcl'vered ' short addresses
nnd the claims that th strlko is still on
were made.
DR THOMAS AS MEDIATOR
Rev. Dr II. W Thomas , chaplain of the
First Infantry , Illinois ' National Guards ,
came up from Pullman today and called on
Vlco President \Vlckes of the Pullman com
pany. Dr. Thomas has been striving tc
bring about peace between the compiny
nnd Us emplojes by getting the men to go
back to work again It huh been -uRge'stc-l
that If Mr Wlekes would consent to meet
a grievance committee from str kers that
perhaps Ml dlfllcuHles would be speedily
patched up. While Dr. Thomas Is In svm-
pathy vvlth btii-h a movement , ho did not
meet Mr Wlokts to officially announce It
"I came without authority" said lie , aftei
ho lift Mr NVIeke'H ofllce "Jnst to call on
the vlco president ai on > no ghbor would
call on another Mr Wlckcs received mu
cordially end we talked over the situation
at Pullman befere I left Thcio were nn
results from my call "
During his Htay at Pitllnnn Dr. Thomas
said ho was tmprsssed with the good humor
which prevails among the striken and the
company'h iitperlntendents. He thinks that
this Is on Indication that a H ttlfincnt will
li reached boon , and he gives It as hit
opinion that the men will bo at work be-
fora manv dnj * .
Vice President Wlekes refused to be seen
after the conference with Dr. Thomas. He

New York special to the Chicago Herald :
"I prefer to say nothing. I would rather
not ba Interviewed on tha western strike. "
These were the first words Samuel Gompers
of the American Federation of Labor said to
n number of reporters yesterday when he en
tered his office early In the afternoon , frcah
from Chicago. After n minute , however , ho
reconsidered the matter.
"What was the condition of the strike
when I left Chicago ? The passenger trains
were running , but I did not BOO much freight
moving , " said Mr Gompcrs "Mr. Debs said
to mo tills was the great hope ho had to tlo
up the freight tralllc. The general strlko of
the trades In Chicago has been declared off.
The fact of the matter Is that when Mr.
Debs read the statement to us which ho
Intended to submit to the managers' associ
ation the delegates regarded It as n declara
tion that the strike was at an end and that
the men were Insisting on b ° lng taken back
to work. I don't want to criticise Mr. Debs ;
he Is honest and sincere. He Is entirely de
voted to the Interests of his fellow working-
men. "
Later on Mr. Gompers said Mr , Debs was
the most enthusiastic , the ablest , the most
honest and the most determined labor
leader he had met In a long , long while.
"I know Uie man. I think it ridiculous to
call him a dictator. He Is the spokesman of
his class. He Is simply carrying out the will
of a majority of his constituency.
"My criticism of tlio action of Chicago
labor leaders In sending an appeal to Presi
dent Cleveland to come and arbitrate the
dlfllculty himself was very shjcere. To send
such a message to the president of the United
States after denouncing hint as a dictator !
"Did the presence of federal troops pro
voke disorder ? Certainly tlio authority of
the United States should not be Invoked
In a state matter until the state authorities
have exhausted their power to preserve the
peace This was decidedly not the case
In Illinois that the mllltla was unable to
cope with the rioters A very small minority
of strikers were rioters.
"Can n strike be successful without vio-
denceDecidedly. . In 1877 the Plttsburg
strikers were riotous , but one decade Is not
the criterion of another. Strikes have out
lived the feature of violence. In the United
States every demonstration on the part of
workmen to better their condition Is regarded
by the ruling classes us a lawless act. Mr.
Debs Is charged with the crime of conspiracy
and held In $50,000 ball. In monarchical Eng
land what Mr Debs did would bo regatded
ns lawful and beneficial. W. T. Stead Is
quite right when ho writes In the Review of
Reviews this month In a sketch of the Coxey
movement tint In tha Industrial movement
England Is fifty years ahead of us. There
trades ijnlons are encouraged. Here the la
bor unions are frowned on by the ruling
classes Th ° re Is too much narrow-minded
prejudice against them.
"Even among unorganized workmen there
Is very little desire for violence , and mo t
workmen believe In the declaration of the
author of 'Triumphant Democracy' that there
Is an eleventh commandment 'Thou shall
not take thy neighbors Job' It Is very sut-
prlsliif ; that there is so very little violence ,
considering there are 3,000,000 of uncm-
plojed in this country. Railway companion ,
rogues , gamblers , corrupt and svcopliantlc
politician * are all In league with cich other.
Although tlis btrlke failed in a way , it will
bo of great benefit to the people It is an
unanswenable and convincing argument In
favor of the government ownership of ail
railroads. It has done more than ten jears
of agitation could for the nationalization of
the lallwajs.
"Tlio strike has cattssd old brotherhood i
of vtrlous departments who have so long
remained Isolated to come In touch with sis
ter organiratlons. The strike has worked
as a tremendous and far-reaching disin
fectant Mossbacklsm has been wiped out
with a mighty broom. The ultimate result
of Mich strikes as the coal miners ami that
of the railroad men will be the federation
of the entire working class Thh federation
will move harmoniously on social , educa
tional , economic and political lines. "

forth that the rallioad shops on the Wyoming

Inspection of all the shops us far west as
Huntlngton , Ore. , beforct reluming Mr. Mc
Connell snys that there ore now over
100 engines In first-class repair lying Idle
on this division , and under piesent ccmlltlons
there will bo plenty of motive power to run
a year nt least without having additional
men to rebuild machinery. As the exigencies
of business demand the forces In the various
shops nt the several , division points will
be Increased. Over SOO men are thus thrown
out of employment on the Wyoming division
The superintendent Intimated that the order
of Judge Rlner in reference to employes

ST. LOUIS , July 18. The Republic tomorrow
will print a page article to demonstrate
tint tlio stockholders of the Union Pacific
railroad lire liable ( or the debt of the road
to the United States government. A state
ment of a number of suppositions facts U
made which , although not asserted to be
true , the Itcpubllc says there Is so much of
plausibility In them as they appear on the
the records of the government , that to Ig
nore them and proceed to a final settlement
advantageous to the public without theme
mo t exhaustive scrutiny of the rights of
the government against the stockholders
would be culpable negligence of the execu
tive and leglslatU c branches of the govern
ment. T'IC suppositions as presented arc us
follows :
"By the terms of the contract offered by
the United States government and agreed
to by the Union Pacific Hallway company a
trustee hip was created for certain pur
poses , among them that of constructing a
highway for common carriage. That the
company built the road for $36,000,000 and
pretended that It cost $98,000,000 , accepting
from the government nbout $38,000,000 In
bonds and land warrants , when Its own
capital stock was sufllclent to build and
completely equip the road ; that the stock
holders did not pay cash money Into the
company's trea'Ury for their stock as ex
plicitly required by the terms of the law
or franchise , but built the road with the
government subsidies and pocketed the
stock , the first government loan and the
coal profits without rendering any account
of these proceedings to the government ;
that by these and other acts before the
date of redemption of subsidy bondi the
company has become bankrupt , meanwhile
having avoided the payment of Interest to
the government as originally contemplated
In the acts of congress ; that the government ,
finding Itself by this long scries of fraudu
lent acts and fraudulent concealments , de
prived of the money due to It from the com-
p.iny , and finding Itself charged with the
payment of the bonds It Issued in aid of the
company , also finds that It has the right
of action against life stockholders as trus
tees who have violated their trusts , and
further finds that the stockholders living
and the estates of those deceased are EiilTl-
clent to easily meet the obligation created
by the trust and Its gross violation. "
The Republic then proceeds as follows :
"Is there not enough In these statements to
compel congress and the executive to ask
Imperatively these questions :
'Tlrst. Was a trusteeship created by Iho
acts of 18G2 and 1S64 and their acceptance
by the company ?
"Second. Was the trust violated by con
cealments and frauds ?
"Third. Does and equity require Indulgence
toward these stockholders or their bene
ficiaries ?
"Fourth. Why now should a funding ar
rangement be concluded which will continue
for a century these entanglements until
the powers and rights of the government
to collect Its debts are exhausted ? "

NEW YORK , July 18. The following cir
cular was issued today by the committee of
which II. C. Martin is chairman to the
holders of the first mortgage C per cent
bands of the Oregon Short Line Hallway
company :
"After the mortgage to secure jour mort
gage was executed and before the bonds were
Is'iicd , and In order to make them more
marketable , the Union Pacific Hallway com
pany on the 12th of January , 1882 , entered
Into an agreement in writing with the Oregon
gen Short Line company , whereby , In consid
eration of certain perpetual rights and privi
leges granted to the Union Pacific Hallway
company , they agree to such a division of
Uio Joint earnings of said roads as should
be sufficient to provide for the piyment of
the Interest on the Oregon Short Line bonds
as it became due , and the Union Pacific Hall
way company placed upon each of said bonds
Its guarantee for the payment of Interest.
The receivers of the Union Pacific Hal way
company have recently filed a petition In
the federal court asking that they be relieved
from all obligations of the contract of
January 12 , 18b2 , and of the guarantee In
pursuance thcicof.
"This motion should be resisted by every
bondholder. In the meantime a committee of
rcorgan' atlon , acting In the Intercuts of the
Union Pacific Hallway company , has ap
peared In the public prints asking for a de-
po'il of all bonds of the Union Pacific sys
tem , Including the Oregon Short Line first
mottgjgo bonds , without disclosing the com
mittee's plan of reorganization. The holders
of the E per cent consolidated bonds of the
Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern HalHvay
company , with which the Oregon Short Line
Hallway was consolidated , have also appoint
ed a committee ami arc asking for the de
posit of bonds with various depositories in
tills country and In Euiope for the purpose ,
as they say In their published notice , of actIng -
Ing In harmony with the committee of the
Union Pacific Hallway company. Holders of
the securities of other allied lines are getting
together their bonds for self-protection and
wo consider It Important that yon should
mass your bonds and stand united In resisting
any and all attempts to reduce their Inter
est. You have now to decide whether you
will unite for the purpose of maintaining un
disturbed jour first mortgage bonds , for
which many of you have paid a large pre
mium , and which have still many years to
run , or whether yon will allow your rights
to bo determined by those whise Inteiests
would be served by the modern method of
i educing the Interest on a first mortgage
rallioad bond for the benefit of the holders of
the Junior securities. "

LOS ANGELES. July 18. United States
District Attorney Denis manifested great
surprise when t > hewn Attorney General Ol-
noy's utterances on the suit Mr. Denis
brought on Tuesday against the Southern Pa
cific ( ompany of Kentucky. lie said : "It
IH Impossible that the opinion can bo held In
Iho Department of Justice that the combina
tions referred to In the bill In equity I filed
between the Southern Pacific company of
Kentucky and the corporation mentioned Is
legal. The point agilnat Its legality has
been time and again argued In the United
States tmprumc court by thu government. The
only reason , In my Judgment , why the su
preme court has not held such combination
to be unlawful Is that It decided cases where
the point was really In ftuor of the govern
ment on other grounds. "
' 'Of ' course I cannot tell > ou what the at
torney general undeistands about the mat
ter , but I wired him on Friday , substan
tially telling him that evidence was In our
possession of an unlawful combination In
restraint of trudo by the Southern Pacific
company and asking for authority for bring
ing suit under an aci of July S , 1890 , against
unlawful combinations. Ho wired next
morning : 'Let act of July 2 , 1890 , bo en
forced against all violators Including rail
way and transportation companies. You arc
hereby authorized to bring suits to that end. '
Holylng on that dispatch and the fact that
Is of public notoriety that the Southern Pa-
"Iflo company has so combined with various
corporations , the whols being styled the
Southern Pacific Company of Kentucky , Mr.
Call and myself could Bee no more appro
priate time to enforce this all but forgotten
law. I was prepared for the Southern Pa
cific taking every step that It could think
of to save Itself , but I did not expect them
to question my right to bring such n suit ,
with the attorney before I could even re

continues , the burning of a ninety-foot bridge
one mlle north of Waukomls station shortly

NEW YORK , July 18 The Press will to

the expulsion of-llquor dealers from Catho

culled forth by nn appeal from the ruling
of Ulshop Wattcrson of Columbus , O. Dur
ing the last Lenten season Bishop Wnttei-
bon nddre-ssed a letter to the clergy and
laity of his diocese dealing wholly with
the temperance problem. Bishop Watlerson
said :
"I hereby withdrawmy approbation from
any and every Catholic society in this diocese
cese that has a. liquor dealer or saloon
keeper at Its head 01 anywhere among Its
officers ; nnd I suspend c-veiy such boclety
Itself from the rank and privileges us a
Catholic society unless It censes to be so
olllcered. No one , who Is engaged cither
as principal or agent In the manufacture
or sale of lnto\lcalliifr llquois should be ad
mitted to membeishlp. "
One of the societies laid the matter foi-
mally befoie Mgr. Batolll. To this appeal
the npostolio delegate has just responded.
He sustains the position of Bishop Walter-
son and s.iys : '
"The liquor trnlllc. nnd especially as con
ducted hereIn theUniled Slalcs , Is Ihe
source of much evil , Hence Hie bishop was
acllnpr wilhln his rights in seeking to re
strict It. Therefore the delegate apostolic
sustains Bishop Watteison's fiction and np-

NEW ORLEANS , July IS. The corre
spondent of the Plcavuno sends by the
tteamer Gtissie a lengthy report of the oc
currences there preceding the fight nt Corn
Island. The trouble began on the night of
July 5. The month before the merchants
who had advanced money on the script Is
sued by the Mosquito government requested
General Cabezos , the Nicaragua ! ) governor ,
to take the script for duties. lie refused
point blank to recognize the paper , nnd the
merchants decided to piy only In the script.
ThU soon reduced the revenues of the gov
ernment , nnd the finances fell way down.
On the 3d of this month the police agiln
made a demand for their back pay and were
refused. This determined the natives and
their adherents , and when , on the Gth of
the month , they were put off again , one of
the police was nbout to assault C.ibezos
when troops arrived.
A brief conlllct followed In which four of
the police were painfully Injured. Subse
quently there were beveral sklrmi-hes in
which the Spaniards under Cabezos were
routed. The American consul called on
Captain O'Neill of the Marblehead for as
sistance to protect the foreigners , and sl\ty-
flvo mariners were landed. Clarence de
cided to declare himself chief , and Issued a
proclamation to that effect. Cabezoa was
called upon to surrender , but he tempoilzed
until finally Clarence attacked Cabezos' po
sition , nnd In the skirmish which fol
lowed two men were killed. The Span-
lards fled. The Mosqultos decided to
form an amalgamated council , and three
Americans and two Englishmen were asked
of New Orleans. Charles La Dior of 1'etrl
lagoon and II F. Springer of New Orleans
The Englishmen were William A. Brown
nnd Captain Biowrlgg. The next day Cap
tain O'Nell sailed away In the Marblehead ,
leaving the marines on shore In clnrge of
the first lieutenant. When the steamer Hazel
Wright arrived next day it was learned that
the Spaniards had been contemplating an
attack on Dlucflelds and the Influence of
their governor alone prevented. The natives
profited by this and organized two companies.
A close watch was kept and when the Spani
ards come , If they do at all , the fight will
be a hot one.
This morning a sloop came from Corn
Island giving reports of a fight there. There
are no particulars beyond the information
the Spaniards were routed with several
Killed. The natives nnd Sumatarlans hoisted
the English flag and it still floats over the
Island which Is intended for the coaling
statlqn of thu United States. The fighting ,
it will be been. Is not entirely local , but
more of a rebellion of the whole Atlantic
coas.t against Nlcaiagimn rule , There seems
to be no hope of the natives being per
manently successful , and with the uncer
tainty of EIIK ish action , the outcome of the
trouble 'Is doubtful.

NEW YORK , July IS. The Herald's
Washington coriespondent says : I was told
that despite the denials of speculations and
the sworn statements of senators who had
been called before the Investigating crm-
mlttee. It could bo proved that In thrco In
stances at least speculation had been en
gaged in and that the three senators letsiied
to had been guilty of perjury. An interest
ing story Is going the rounds tcday i h'ory
so startling In Its details tl at
It is almost past belief. I was told
of a man here In Washington
who has in his poa.csslon the original brok
er's contract wlieieln ono of the sonutois
a prominent ono at that contracted to buy
sugar when It was down to & 3 , Just before Its
phenomenal Use. It was said that Interested
persons "short" on sugar nnd who had been
"sque ed" In the process of manipulating
the market or because they have the "Inside
tip" hid lost on immense amount of money
and had determined to break the biimr
schedule at all hi/ards. Thu must
interest part of 'he ' story is the way In
which they Intended to set this schedule
aside , and 1 am told that Is by ni other
process than the arrrst of a certain senator
on a charge of perjury. In a cr'mlnal case
of tills Mud. it Is said stockholders would
bo compelled to show their hooka in court
and the persns Inck of this schema say thcv
can prove , not only by the ovlilotue they now
cla'm to have , but bv what they could Uuu
Hy bate , that somebodj has bsen doing s'tno
"tall" lying before the Investigation
committee. It Is thought that this pirtleuUu
senator , rather than rubmll to this proceed
ing , would undo the work It Is said I'o his
assisted In doing , and through 1'ic ' Influence
ho Is said to wield sugar would be placed
on the free list and the men "short" of tha
stock would recoup their capital dropped
while they were on the wrong side of the
