WASHINGTON , Aug. 8. Senators Jones
And Vest of the tariff committee and Sena
tors Gorman nnd Smith , acting on behalf of
the conservative senators , held a meeting
today previous to the meeting of the confer
ence and It IB understood decided that the
tlmo had arrived when the conference should
como to an end , cither by agreement or a
disagreement , end that they arranged a pro
gram for bringing about this result.
This program ns detailed was to have the
senate conferees do their utmost to secure
an agreement at the morning conference , and
In case of failure to urge that a disagree
ment bo reported without further delay , and
falling to secure the consent of the house
members to this plan for the senate confer
ees to go Into the senate and ask to bo dis
charged from further consideration of the
tariff bill In conference. When Senator
Jones was naked as to the truth of this re
port he neither confirmed nor contradicted
It , but simply said It was Impossible to sny
what might happen. Senator Jones , after
the morning conference , said that If there
was n program for the senate On the tariff
to ask to be discharged In existence ho was
not aware of the fact. Ho did not deny
that the senate conferees might expect
to be discharged , but added that ho
did not think that such request would be
made today. He also stated that the pro
ceedings nt the morning conference had not
left the situation materially changed from
what It was after adjournment yesterday.
The republican steering committee of the
ecnate holds frequent conferences these days
nnd this morning held a session of consid
erable Importance In view of the various
propositions that have been threatened In
the senate by the democrats. The main
point was practically agreed -upon. The re
publicans think that It Is no time todelnto
the differences that exist In the democratic
ranks. The proposition that has been made
to make sugar free was also discussed this
morning and the bearing this Item would
have upon the success of the bill.
The opinion wns expressed that by putting
sugar on the free list the votes of the Louisi
ana , senators would bo lost to the bill , but
that Senator I'offer might vote for It. The
republicans say that If a proposition Is made
to put sugar on the free list It will receive
the support of nearly the entire republican
nlde.
nlde.At 1 o'clock the democratic conferees ad
journed until 2:30. : When they adjorned
for their usual recess the air was full of
rumors of all kinds , among them being the
statements that an acrcemcnt would lie
reached at the afternoon session. The con
ferees all declined to say anything. A lead-
Int ; conservative senator said that the house
must take the responsibility of risking
another vote upon the bill In the senate.
There seems a determination on the part of
the senate to enforce n decision , one way or
the other during the day , but the measure
may bo further delayed.
THINK THE END IS NEAR.
Senator Jones of the senate conferees on
the tariff bill said nt 2:25 : today that ho
thought the tariff conferees would be able , to
reach an agreement tomorrow.
Chairman Wllbon nnd Representative
Montgomery Joined Speaker Crisp In his pri
vate office after the recess of the conferees.
The report was boon circulated among mem
bers of the house , and generally credited , that
an agreement would be reached today. This
could not bo 'positively confirmed , however ,
from any of the conferees. One of thorn
Bald thnt there was euro to bo a bill , but lie
would not say how boon. Chairman Wilson
when asked ns to the report said with de-
plomacy that he hoped It might bo true.
Jlelng asked directly If It wcro true , ho said :
"No , I think not. " Ho was evidently in n
hopeful , mood , however.
Out of the many conflicting reports at the
noon recess of the conference. It became evi
dent nnd wns so stated by those moat Intl-
inato with the conferees , that an agreement
was very near at hand and might bo reached
tomorrow. Representative Strauss oC New
York , who Is clobely associated with Mr.
Wilson , gave It as his opinion that there
would be n complete agreement by Saturday
at the least.
Senator Smith of Nsw Jersey , who was In
consultation with thq senate conferees , said
that he expected the full committee would
bo called together tomorrow and a bill re
ported , Ho said he could give no details
except to say that the compromise sugar
schedule announced last week would bo a
part of the agreement.
Ono of the republican conferees said that
ho expected the republicans would be called
In tomorrow , and Senator Harris said to an
other senator that an agreement was In
sight.
llAVE PRACTICALLY AGREED.
When the democratic conferees adjourned
late today It wns understood on all sides
that the democrats would report to the full
conference tomorrow. Members of the con
ference added to the general faith by their
Etntcnu'iits , which were more or less san
guine , depending upon the temperament of
the speaker. While the utterances nt the
tlmo of the adjournment were not so strong
DB those which wcro heard earlier In the
afternoon , they wcra bufllctcntly assuring to
Justify the ( statement that , barring Improba
ble contingencies , the democratic members
of the conference will find themselves pre
pared some time during tomorrow , or , at the
latest , on Friday , to call In the republican
members of the conference for a full meet
ing."I
"I will not say , " said Senator Jones , "that
wo have agreed , for that would not b > true ,
but the situation Is cheerful , and the Indi
cations arc that wo shall finish the work
tomorrow. If we do not come to an agree
ment tomorrow I shall consider the confer
ence at an end , for I do not see the utility
of continuing our Interview with the house
conferees longer. "
This situation wns at the end of a day
which had started out with a determination
on the part of the senate conferees , sup
ported by the conservative senators , to bring
the question at Issue to a finality during the
day , and which later brought the positive ,
though unofficial , announcement that this end
had been accomplished and an understanding
reached , The report began to gain c.rcula-
tlon nbaut 1 o'clock , and It grew stronger
nnd utronger , without receiving positive
confirmation from those In n position to
know the facts until about 2:30 : , when the
members of the conference and senators
who had been closeted with them confirmed
It to the extent of stylng that while all the
details had not been arranged , they felt
confident that n basis had been found upon
which the conferees of both houses could
eland and tonns actually agreed upon
which the conservative senators would ac
cept. Both democrats nnd rejuibl cans ac
cepted this as the approach o ! the end and
ns equal to i definite announcement of an
agreement.
TERMS OF THE COMPROMISE.
The terms as given cut were that the
sugar schedule as published last week ,
nnmely , a duty of10 per cent ad valorem
on raw sugar , -to per cunt on the value of the
rw uugar In the refined , and one-fifth of a
cent differential on rotlncd imgarIO ; cants a
ton on ccal and free Iron ore , with Blight
changes In the metal , woolen 'and cotton
BChcdulea. When , however , the conference
reconvened at 3 o'clock , It soon developed
that by no means nil the details had been
11 m lined , nr.d also that there was more or
log opp eltlon to the program , and It was
not long bcfoio the conferees found them-
nclvea bothering over many of the name
tropes lions which they had been consider-
> u < tor day * . It alas becama uolieJ abroad
that the outlook wns not au bright as It
hud appeared n few hours before. It was
understood that objection had been mnde
from the house to the retention of the duty on
coal and that certain ncnators , among whom
was Senator Pugh , had taken n decided stand
against what they termed the sacrifice of
Iron ore. , These complaints were sufficient
to cause the conferees to hnlt for n time , nnd
It | s known that porno difficulties wcro en
countered In adjusting the differences on
other schedules. The conferees wcro therefore -
fore not as sanguine upon the adjournment
of their afternoon cession as they were when
the forenoon session closed. They came out
of the conference somewhat anxious , but still
they asserted that tomorrow would see the
final adjustment of their differences. They
Rtntrd. however , that the coal nnd Iron ore
rates were among those which hnd not been
fixed beyond recall. Indeed , sugar appears
from the statements given out to be the only
article upon which a definite conclusion has
hrcn reached , but It was understood that
cither coal or Iron ore would go to the free
list nnd the other would bo dutiable at the
senate rale. The metal schedule will have
to lie changed to accord with free Iron Ore
If It Is finally concluded that this article Is
to bo selected for the free list.
Members of the Louisiana delegation were
not pleased with the reported agreement.
They said no bounty whatever was given In
the sugar schedule nnd the purpose wns to
nut the new law Into effect nt once without
giving the continuance they hnd expected
until January 1 next. There was much talk
among them that the schedule would not re
ceive their votes.
MAY ADJOURN NEXT WEEK.
Representative Cntchlngs of the rules com
mittee Is hopeful that an adjournment of
congress will occur next week.
The republican uteerlng committee of the
senate held a session Immediately after the
adjournment of the senate today to consider
the situation. The understanding among the
members was that Hie democrats had got close
enough together to allow the tariff bill to be
reported back to Hie senate tomorrow.
There was present republicans who had In
formation as to the status of the bill and
they stated that upon the manufacturing
schedules the senate rates In Hie main ob
tained , but on the three principal Items
sugar , coal and Iron ore n compromise had
been reached. It wns from this standpoint
that the republicans discussed the bill and
the possibility of defeating It. It was first
ascertained that every republican and the
populists , Peffer and Stewart , would vote
against the bill and that Mr. Hill would
also oppose | l. Three more votes were
necessary to defeat It. The announcement
was made with considerable directness that
both Messrs. Caffery and Blnnchard of
Louisiana would vote against It , though they
wore not considered absolutely certain. One
of these senators had asked Sena'or Allen as
to the position of himself and Mr. Kyle , who
voted for the bill when It passed the
senate , and while he had not recalved a pos
itive answer , the Inference was that the pop
ulists seemed to think It was a part of their
policy to vote against the bill. With the re
publican side solid nnd Hill , Caffrey , Blanchard -
ard and Allen voting with them the bill could
not pass. The republicans had to acknowl
edge , however , the prospects of getting all
three of the last named as extiemely doubt
ful. The Impression prevailed that the decis
ive vote .would be taken tomorrow , and nb-
S2tit senators were telegraphed to return to
Washington. It la not the purpose of the
republicans to consume any time In debate.
It Is probable that they wilt be willing to
take a vote very soon after the report Is
made. Their motion will be to Indefinitely
postpone the bill. The other motion by the
friends of the bill will be to agree to the re
port of the conference , but if the motion to
Indefinitely postpone fails the other motion
Is very likely to carry by the same vote.

Urged to Attend the I.euguo Convention ut
Indianapolis.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 8. Robert O. Still ,
as chief of the African bureau of organiza
tion of the democratic congressional commit
tee , has Issued an address to the democrats
of color of the United States , .Tho address
says In part : "Tho national negro league
will convene. In Indianapolis , Ind. , on the
llth inst. U Is hoped that negro demo
crats from every state and territory will bo
represented to evidence their presence and
voice their loyalty to the policies and prin
ciples of the administration. At no time In
the history of negro democracy has there
been greater demand for counseling together
to determine the future course nnd policy of
the negro In America. It Is a matter of
sincere congratulation to note the unswerv
ing fealty shown to the democratic , party by
our people In Alabama In the recent election.
Possibly for the flrot tlmo was the negro
vote directly appealed to and Its response
was evidenced by a return of largo demo-
cra'lc majorities In every negro county In
the state. This open appeal to the negro Is
especially gratifying to you and to negroes
generally. "

CHEYENNE , Wyo. , Aug. 8. ( Special
Telegram to TJie Uec. ) The ilcmccratlc
stale convention met tills morning at 10
o'clock with eighty of the 103 delegates In
attendance. It Is chimed , however , to be
the largest democrat c convention In the
history of the state. Governor Osbcrne ,
Congressman Coftecn and other prcmlnent
citizens of the state occupied scats on the
platform when Chairman New of the state
committee called the convention to order.
Willis E. Cortliel cf Liramle City was made
temporary chairman , and M. L. Blake of
Sheridan secretary , and the organization was
permanent. Committees on credentials , res
olutions and order of bus.ness were ap
pointed , and the convention took" a recess
until 2 p. in.
The convention did nothing but effect an
organization when It reconvened. As was
anticipated , there \vns a bitter light In the
committee on resolutions over the question
of condemning the flnnnclal pol.cy of the
present national administration , and It was
past 0 o'clock tonight when the committee
submitted Its report to the convention.
Tlio report favcred the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at a ratio of
1C to 1 , and denounced the attempt of the
administration to place the country on a
gold baslv.
This announcement brought a half dozen
Cleveland men to their feet and the flght
which had been waged for five hours In com
mittee was transferred to the Door of the
convention. The administration men stated
that the convention could not afford to go
before the country with a falsa declaration
that Cleveland Is attempting to place the
government on a gold basts.
After a debate of two hours the resolu
tions were referred back to the committee
and the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
FAVORS FREE SILVER.
The platform submitted Is unusually
lengthy and dwells on state affairs to n
large extent. It denounces the representa
tives of the democratic party In congress
who have betrayed the Interests of the party
In the support of the senate bill and pro
nounces the Wilson bill only a partial ful
fillment of the pledges of the national con
vention ; declares In favor of electing sen
ators by popular vote ; condemns
the American Protective association
In politics ; urges congress to take prompt
action to settle- the affairs of the Union
Pacific railroad ; denounces the Wyoming Live
Stock commission law as the worst kind of
class legislation , and charges the republicans
of Wyoming with Insincerity In their declar
ation In favor of cumpulsory arbitration to
settle disputes between labor and capital.
The censure ol thu administration will prob
ably be modified befora the platform is
adopted.
It Is Impossible to predict who the nomi
nees for the various offices will be , there are
so many factions to bo appeased. The most
conservative observers are of the opinion that
Congressman Coffeen will bo renomlnated.
Joel T. Hurt , the central Wyoming wool
grower , Is looming up tonight as a candidate
for governor.
OFFICE HOLDERS MEDDLING.
The federal office holders who have
assumed to run the- politics of the dem
ocratic party of Wyoming since the last
election have been turned down In nearly
every county , and delegates elected to the
convention who arc not friendly to Chairman
A. L. New , Governor Osborne and others
who affiliate with that faction of the party.
Congressman Coffeen Is considered a mem
ber of the New faction , and the disaffection
has already seriously clouded his prospects
for a. rcnomlnatton. John Charles Thomp
son , whoso election to the United States sen
ate was prevented by one- democratic mem
ber of the legislature refusing to vote for
him. Is Coffcen's formidable rival. The
congressman Is hero endeavoring to fix up
his fences.
Governor John E. Osborno has said that
ho will positively decline to accept a re-
nomlnatlon. This has thrown the field open.
Among those whose names have been men
tioned for the place are : P. J. Quealey , the
Rock Springs coal operator ; W. H. Holllday ,
state senator from Albany county ; Judge C.
F. Miller , a Cheyenne cattleman and capi
talist ; Joel J. Hurt , state senator from Na-
trona county and one of the largest wool
growers In the state ; Leopold Kabls , ex-
adjutant general and deputy revenue col
lector for Wyoming , Judge Miller appears
to have the strongest following and will In
all probability receive the nomination.
The candidates for Justice of the supreme
court are : N. E. Corthel of Laramle City ;
Judge S. T. Corn of Evanston , and A. J.
McMlckcn , editor of the Rawllns Journal.
Thu first named will probably be the nomi
nee.
nee.Mrs. . L. D. Pease of Laramle City , Mrs.
M. J. Goodwin , county superintendent of
Convorss county , and Mrs. Gibson Clark ,
wife of the recently appointed United States
attorney , are mentioned for state superin
tendent of schools.
T. H. Hicks , president of the First Na
tional bank of Cheysnne. and Meyer Frank ,
county treasurer of Weston county , are
hpoken of for state treasurer. Mr. Hicks
can have the nomination If he wants It.
Dan. W. Gill of Cheyenne Is the only can
didate mentioned for the ofllce of secretary
of state. Thus far no candidates have been
brought forward for state auditor.
The principal light has been made against
the chairman of the democratic state com
mittee , Revenue Collector Now. Ho has ,
however , been retired from the contest by
a letter from the Department of the Interior
positively forbidding him to take an active
part In ths campaign. It would be a viola
tion of the rules of the department for him
to act as chairman of the committee.

laws , differ In a material way and that the
law has not been compiled with In several
respects. Hho charges "criminal careless

mean that woman buffrage cannot bo voted

ARMORIA , I. T. , Aug. 8. An election for
governor was held today throughout the
Chtckasaw nation. The candidates are : P.
S. Mosely , Independent ; R. L. Boyd , on the
"allotment In severally" ticket , and ex-
Governor William IJynl on the "pull-back"
ticket. The friends of the latter are sanguine
of success , but the result ; owing to the slow
ness of territorial elections generally , will
likely not be know for a couple of days. For
more than a month the nation has been
virtually without a governor. The conven
tion of the legislature , on July 14 proved on
utter failure , the members refusing to re

NEW YORK , Aug. 8. The Atchlson pro
tective reorganization committee , of which
Theodore W. Myers Is chairman , held a
meeting this afternoon at the office of Henry
Clews. It was expected that President King
of the Union Trust company would send a
reply to the letter which , the commutes sent
on August C last asking him to petition
the court for the removal of Receivers Rein-
hart and McCook. This letter recited the
objections of the committee to the admin
istration of Messrs. Relnhart and McCook
and said that If the responsibility for the
condition of affairs objected to is shared In
by the receivers , their retention would , In
the opinion of the committee , not oparate to
the benefit of the Interests represented by
them. Mr. King did send a brief reply , but
It will be supplemented by a much fuller one
tomorrow. Ills views as to the suggestions
of the committee were made public , but his
amplified reply will be made known tomor
row. Mr. McCook , having learned that the
letter to Mr. King had been given to the
press , ho this afternoon * gave formal notice
that the said letter contained a libel upon
him ( McCook ) and that Mr. Myers and each
member of the committee approving the
letter and all persons circulating It will be
held legally responsible.

NO OCCASION FOR MILITIA
Decided that State Troops Are Not Needed
to Preserve Order at South Omaha ,
RESULT OF LAST NIGHT'S ' CONFERENCE
Sheriff Drexel Will Send Down n Large.
1'orcu of Deputies ( Ills .Morning and Sn }
Ho Ciitt ruriiMi Ample I'rotuc-
tlon Yesterduy'ii i\vnts : ,
After a conference lasting from 8 o'clock
last night until 1 o'clock this morning at
the Mlllard hotel , participated In by packers ,
citizens and worklngmcn of South Omaha.
Mayer Johnston , Sheriff , Irexcl , General
Gage and Acting Governor Majors , it was
decided not to call out the mllltla to pro
tect , the packing houses. Sheriff Drcxcl will
supply a large force of deputy sheriffs and
send them to South Omaha shortly after
daylight.
Yesterday Acting Governor' Majors was
prevailed upon to come to Omaha and meet
with the representatives of the various packIng -
Ing companies to discuss the strike situa
tion. Ho and Adjutant General Gage ar
rived In the city early In the vcnlng and
were met by Mayor Johnston , E. A. Cudahy ,
Superintendent Babcock of the Stock Yards
company , and Superintendents Noyes , Foster
nnd Tolllver of the packing companies. There
was also a committee of citizens from South
Omaha , composed of Thomas Hector , Colonel
C. M. Hunt , Frank J. Persons , E. C. Lane ,
II. M. Hoglc , Frank Broadwell , James Car
roll , M. Maybery , John Flynn and S. P.
Brlgham. The strikers and trades assembly
were represented by Con P. Hogan , George
W. Sablne and P. C. Caldwell. General
Cowln was present as counsel for the
packers.
The packers and mayor were there to Im
press .the governor with the necessity of
calling out Hi3 state militia , and their efforts
were seconded by a portion of the citizens'
committee. The members of the trades
assembly were there to prevent any such
move , and through the assistance of Sheriff
Drexel they were successful , but a large
force of deputies will endeavor to prevent
any further trouble.
The numerous figh's yesterday and last
night convinced the mayor that radical steps
should be taken to prevent ecrious trouble.
He thought that uniformed men could quell
trouble more easily than persons In citizen's
dress and was In favor of having the militia
called out. He was sustained by the citi
zens' committee to a great extent , although
this committee- had been appointed to try to
patch up a truce between the men and their
employers. The committee was granted an
audience with the acting governor and
through Its spokesman conveyed the Informa
tion that It wanted until 10 o'clock this mornIng -
Ing to confer with the strikers and see If they
would not make concessions so that the
strike would end at once. This did no.
meet with approval from the managers of
the packing houses , and the committee with
drew without having accomplished anything.
WILL RCLY ON DREXEL.
Then Deputy Sheriff Carroll of South
Omaha appeared and said that he was of the
oninion that the situation was so serious
that the packing houses and employes would
have to have better protection or else they
could not continue operations. He was sent
'out to hunt up the sheriff and brine him to
tho'cbnfcrchcc. In the meantime the members - ,
bers Of the trades assembly committee se
cured an audience with Mayor Johnston , to
whom they made known-thclr , wishes. They
claimed that the loaders of the strike were
ab'.o to control the strikers and would see
that ho damage would be- done to the packIng -
Ing house properties , and do all In their
power to prevent lawless acts by any class
of people. They did not want the mllltla
sent there , because It would only serve to
Inflame the men. so they claimed. Mayor
Johnston then asked the commlteemen If
they were willing to meet the managers of
the packing houses and discuss the situation.
They agreed to this proposition and the
mayor carried the Information to the packing
house representatives in one of the parlors.
But these gentlemen refused to further dis
cuss the matter with the strikers , claiming
that they had given them all duo notlco and
fair treatment , so that to talk over the sub
ject any longer would bo a waste of time.
Then the adjutant general held a consultation
with Captain Scharff and a couple of lieu
tenants of the Thurston Rifles and was In
formed that two companl.s were ready to
march to South Omaha on a few minutes'
notice , and wre Just then assembled at the
armory. The adjutant carried thU Informa
tion to the party In the parlor and soon Dep
uty Carroll returned with Sheriff Drexel.
The sheriff listened to both sides and then
said that ho would not ask for the mllltla ,
nor sanction such a move , as ho believed
that ho had not exhausted all his resources.
He agreed that the situation had assumed a
serious aspect , but thought that the calling
out of the state troops would only anger the
strikers and their sympathizes. Every In
ducement was used to make him niter his
opinion , but without avail , and he said that
this morning he would begin swearing In a
largo enough force of deputies to give ample
protection to all the packing housss and the
men who wish to go to work.
When this conclusion was reached It was
agreed to abide by It and the sheriff assured
the managers of the houses that If ho could
not control the actions of the strikers In this
manner ho would then call for the state
troops. The meeting then adjourned , but It
Is said that the Omaha mllltla companies
will bo held In readiness to respond to a call
from the governor wlthlng an hour a notice.
ACTS OF VIOLENCE.
If It had not been for the fact that special
policemen escorted many of Cudahy's men to
work yesterday , they would have had to
stay away. The gang was laying for them ,
but they would not go up against a police
man with a gun and club In sight.
At the Omaha house the men were
not working yesterday. Not because
there was not a sufficient force , but
because they were not killing.
Two policemen started to take one
of the night tank men homo from this house
yesterday , but they had to turn back , as
the gang was too big to tackle. There were
twenty-live men , and two policemen wouldn't
have stood much show with them when It
came to a rough and tumble fight.
A number of assaults were committed yes
terday morning , and the assailants are
supposed to be the men who are
out on a strike. This Is de
nied by the .members of the executive
committee at headquarters , however. They
claim that the men who are Intimidating
the workmen are thugs who are not Inter
ested In thu walkout. It Is hard to make
the packers believe that any ono but a
ytrlker would take enough Interest In the
affair to atop the men , and the police are of
the same opinion.
Nels Nelson , a cellar man at Swift's , was
stopped by a striker Just cast of the Q
street viaduct as he was on his way to work.
The man nuked him to turn around and go
home. Nels refused to do to , and the striker
struck him In the face with his fiat. He
then took Nelson's hat , but the man picked
up lilH dinner bucket and went on to his
work , leaving hla hat behind.
A brick was dropped from the Q street
viaduct and struck a man on the head and
shoulder as he was going to work at Swift's.
The wound was slight , but If It had struck
him Equaiely on the head It would have
brained him.
There was big excitement ovsr ut Thirty-
third and Q streets Tuesday night. A special
policeman placed two disturbers under ar
rest. The men lay down tin the ground and
refused to budge , In a few moments about
1,000 women , children and men surrounded
the officer and his prisoners. He was help
less , South Omaha has no patrol wagon
and It was a sure thing one officer could not
lug two husky workmen a half-mile to the
police station. All the people In Bight were
In sympathy with the men under urrcat , and
alt the officer could do was to walk away
and let the follows go.
Warrants are out for the nrrpst of Joseph
Waldlck , Wallace Oasock , John Step , Vlo-
dock Tangier and Albert Scott. The com
plaint was filed by William Gtitlttis. Giitltua
was on his way to work and was waylaid
by the defendants on Twenty-eighth street ,
between J and K streets. The complainant
says that these men stopped him , nnd while
two of the party held his hands , the others
searched his pockets nnd took his keys and
revolver. Assist int County Attorney Troupe
went down yesterday and lodged complaints ,
alleging highway robbery against all the
men. The defendants nrc strikers and
Gutllus refused to walk out with the gang.
Warrants arc also out for Kd McGee and
Pat McOrath. They nre charged with assault
and battery. The defendants are strikers.
LOST AN EYE.
Just as the dummy pulled cut for Omaha
Tuesday evening a striker hurled n large Iron
jplko Into the crowd that stood on the rcur
platform cf the train. The brakeman
ducked his head and the spike struck n
butcher named Potsky In I ho corner cf the
left eye. The Injured man was taken Into
the depot nnd was attended by u physician.
It Is thought the man will lese the xlzht of
the Injured eye. Totsky Is ono of Cudahy's
butchers and Is out on a strike. It Is
thought the person who threw the spike
aimed It at another person or did not know
the man who was struck.
An Incident occurred Tuesday evening which
for a short time created more excitement
than anything that has taken place dur.ng
the strike. The South Omaha police caught
n deserter and sent word to Fort Omaha
to have him taken away. The government
ambulance nnd three soldiers came down for
the nun. The scldlors had barely put In an
appearance than the w rd was passed around
that the government troops had been called
out. This caused a stampede among the
strikers , and there was blood on the moon
for half an hour , until the real cause of the
visit of the soldiers was made known.
The strikers gathi > re.l at the earner of
Twenty-seventh and N streets last evening
and waited for the workmen to pass on their
way home. Some of the caolor heads of th"
union pleaded with the atrlktres not to make
any demonstration , but the'r pleading ! were
of no avail. The workmen began to drift
along and at the first cry of "scab" th ro
was a stampede that brought out the whole
community In that vicinity. The w rkmcn
were chared and hooted at for two or three
blocks , but none of them were Injured.
Fifteen minutes later a workman was passIng -
Ing up the street on his way to the motor
car when two or three men took after him.
Ho started to run and In a few sccniuh 1,000
men were after him , shouting "scab" and
other vlla epithets. First one striker would
strike the man nnd then another. Thu man
was knocked down and kicked. He made
no effort to defend lilmtolf except to get
away. After he was bent n and chased for
two blocks the police finally got between
the mob and thu man and > -topped the assault.
Captain Conn 11 he'd a revolver In each hand
and swore he would shoot the first man who
continued the fight. The pilico then escorted
the man to the motor car. Ills name could
not be ascertained , but he gave It out cold
that he would go to work In the morning
and that It meant I'cnth to the man who
attempted to assault htm while minding his
own business. The conduct of the strikers
In this case was crltlsad severely.
WORKMEN DRAW REVOLVERS.
At Thirtieth and Q streets two men stood
off fifty of the strikers with their revolvers.
Two men nnd a boy left the Cudahy plant
about C o'clock and started for their homo
In the Third ward. A gang of the strikers
saw them coming and when the men reached
Q street the gang began to clojo In on them.
Ing their revolvers , pointed them directly nt
Ing their cvcdvers , pointed them directly at
the face of the head men. "You conic an
other step nearer tu me and I'll blow your
head off , " said one cf the "men. His yar.l-
ner also leveled a revolver In the same direc
tion and the strikers stopped nnd called for
a policeman. The officers told the crowd to
disperse , which they did.
A flieman and engineer at Cudahy's , who
work at nlkht , were assaulted on their way
to work last evening. Neither of them was
hurt.
hurt.A
A particularly exasperating feature of the
disturbance Is that laborers and others who
have no connection with the packing houses
are made to suffer from violence. A dozen
Union Pacific car men on their way home
from work were mistaken for "scabs" and
were assaulted at A street and the railroad
crossing. N'ne cf the men were knocked
down and badly beaten.
The 12-year-old sen of Henry Folonder ,
while on h's wsy to the lumber yard at F
street nnd the railroad tracks , -was as
saulted by men supposed to be strikers. The
boy was carrying a dinner pall , and the
men supposed he was carrying It to his
father at the packing house. Several of the
boy's teeth wore knocked \.ut \ , and he wan
painfully bruised. Mr. Foloner Is a car
penter , nnd works for the Newcomb Lumber
company.
A striker rushed up to Ed Hayzelette , who
was standing quietly In the dour of his
father's store , where ho works , and struck
h'm squarely on the left eye without any
warning whatever. 'Mr. Hayzelette had said
or dene nothing , and was taken entirely by
surprise. The assailant was Identified and
liter In the evening n warrant was issued
for his arrest.
DESERTED BY THE SECRETARY.
The becrotary of the executive committee
of the strikers has gone back to work. He
became convinced Hint the strike was lost
and says he was tired of the jangle.
About 75 per cent of the men at work sleep
In the packing houses , but bomn of them
have to go home. All ( hi * clerks and the
workmen who leave the plants at night nre
well armed. The pollen do not pretend to
innke any arrests except ) In extreme cases.
Last night only ono man was arrested.
It must be tald to the credit of the strikers
that only a small per cent of them are In
clined to bo boisterous. Jim Qulglcy , a mem
ber of the executive committee , rushed Into
ono crowd yesterduy and demanded that the
strikers ccaso any dcmoiiHtratlon whatever.
All sorts of rumors were afloat late last
night. It Is said that an effort will be made
this morning to prevent all the doormen In
the houses from going to work.
The packing house managers have had men
on the outside mingling with the strikers ,
nnd nrc keeping well pouted as to all their
movements. They claim that a good many
threats of violence have been made by the
moro hotheaded strikers , and , In n couple of
Instances suggestions have brcn made that
the plants bo destroyed , but the leaders of
the strike deny this and say Hint they will
bo the first ones tu put n stop to any mieh
threat ! ! .
All Htrangcrs nre closely watched by the
pickets for the strikers , and If any man IK
found to bo looking for work nnd Is going
to apply to the houses for n job they take
him in hand. Yesterday morning quite n
crowd of new men arrived on the Burlington
train and a squad of special policemen
were sent over from Cudahy'a to escort them
to the house. Three or four strikers' pickets
who were 'mounted on liorf.es hastened to
their headquarters and notified their lenders.
A crowd ' .vent out to meet the nc.w men ,
but the special police would nut let the
strikers get near enough to tall ; to them ,
nnd beyond some muttered threats nothing
was said.
Both cattle and sheep were Killed yesterday
at all the packing houses , save the Omaha.
At Cuiliiliy'H 2,000 hogs were killed , which
wan about the usual number. None of the
p.ickem bought hogit jcstcidjy , nn there
wcro not many desirable lots In the 11,000
received. The market was 10 cents higher
than on Tuesday.
SAY PROTECTION IS INADEQUATE.
In spcnk.ng of the ( situation yesterday
afternoon E. A. Cudahy mid : "Tho situa
tion li ) really serious. There are plenty of
men ready to go to work , but they are
afruld to da EO because they huvu no pro
