MANAGERS FLATLY REFUSE.
Term of Agreement Offered by Deb. la the
KaUway Strike Matter Not Accepted.
Chicago, July 14. The officers and
directors of the American railway un
ion held a special executive meeting1 at
their headquarters in Ulich's yesterday
for the purpose of making a proposi
tion to the railroad managers looking
to calling off the great strike. They
agreed to call the strike off if the man
agers would give the strikers their
former positions except those who have
been convicted of crime. The proposi
tion in full is as follows :
To the Railway Managers :
The existing troubles growing out 01
the Pullman strike having assumed
continental proportions, anil there be
in" no indication of relief from the
widespread business demoralizatio n and
air-o incident thereto, the railway
employes, through the board of direc
tors of the American railway union, re
KTwtfullv make the proposition as the
basis of settlement. They agree to
return to work in a body at once, pro
vided they shall be restored to their
former position without prejudice, ex
pTt in cases, if anv there be, where
they have been convicted of crime. This
proposition looking to immediate set
tlement of the, existing strike on all
linos of railroads is inspired by a
purpose to subserve the public good
The strike, small and comparative
ly unimportant, in its inception,
lins extended in . every direction
.' nnf.il it. now involves or threatens not
onl v every public interest but the peace,
itv and prosperity of our common
country. The contest has waged fierce
ly. It has extended far beyond the
limits of interest originally involved
and has laid hold of a vast number, of
industries and enterprises in no wise
responsible for the differences, and dis
agreements that led -to the trouble.
Factories, mills, mines and shops have

tion has swayed the interests oi many

itv are ix-rilled. Great apprehension ot
tlit future prevails. Ihis being true,
and the statement will not be contro
verted, we consider it to be our duty as
citizens and as men to make extraordin
ary efforts to' end the existing strike
and a vert approaching calamities whose
shadows are even now upon us. If
ended now the contest, however, se
rious, in its consequences, will not have
been in vain. Sacrifices have been
made, but they wilj have their
compensation. Indeed, if lessons
shall be taught by experience the trou
bles now so widely deplored will prove
a blessing of inestimable value in the
months and years to come. The differ
ence that led up to the present compli
cations need not be discussed. At this
supreme juncture every consideration of
duty an patriotism demands that a
remedy for existing troubles be found
and applied. The employes propose to
do their part by meeting their employ
ers half way. Let it be stated that
they do not 'impose any condition of
settlement except that they be restored
to their former position. They do not
ask the recognition of their organiza
tion, or of any organization. lJelieving
this proposition to be -fair, reasonable
and just, it is respectfully submitted
with the belief that its acceptance will
result in the prompt resumption of traf
fic, the revival of industry and the re
storation of peace and order.
Respectfully,
- Eugene V. Debs, President.
O. W. Howard, Vice President.
The managers flatly refused the terms
of agreement indicated and the strike
will be continued, though all signs of
violence have disappeared.
LAUGHED ON THE GALLOWS.
Alabama Assassin Meet a Lawful Fate,
and Laugh as the Caps are Drawn.
Montgomery, Ala., July 14. Yester
day at 12:30 o'clock John Calloway and
Joe Woodley were hanged in the yard
of the county jail for the atrocious
assassination of a prominent young
man, Mr. Grant, in, his store near Mont
gomery one night last. March. Four
men were to have been hanged for the
murder, but yesterday Governor Jones
respited Alex and Wilson Woodley.
Calloway confessed the crime, saying
that he with three others engaged
Oliver Jackson to do the deed for the
sum of S2.50, but on the appointeel
night Jackson failed to appear, and it
fell to Calloway's lot to fire the load of
buck shot from the store doorway while
the other conspirators held Grant's
attention. Recently Jackson was ar
rested and later lynched. He was a
professional assassin. A moment after
the noose had' been fixed around tlieir
necks, a spectator's seat, raised a num
ber of feet from the ground, fell and
precipitated fifty people all in a pile,
and both condemned men were laugh
ing at the incident when the black caps
were sli pped over their heads.

KENTUCKY IS BANKRUPT.
A Deficit of l0S7,000 in the Treasury and
. all Payments Suspended.
Frankfort, Ky , July 1(5. The long
looked-for collaspe of the State Treas
ury came this morning by the total ex
haustion of he state's funds, 'followed
by a suspension of payment for an in
definite time upon the commonweal tb's
obligations. Treasurer Hale made a
brave 'fitrht acainst suspension, and
used extraordinary diligence to secure
enough collections from the sheriff $
tide the treasury over, but was unable
to -secure enough funds and this morn
ing decided to submit to the inevitable.
The total deficit in the general expen
diture fund, from which the ordinary
expenses of the state are defrayed, Is
SM2T.0O0, with $'277,000 in the treasury as
a whole, crediting to the school fund
and the siuking fund the total amounts
due to each.
The suspension of payment is for an
indefinite period, and it can not be fore
told when resumption will le possible.
On October lst.-'about $850,000 'will be
due the school teachers, and as pros
pects for collections in the future are
not very bright at present, difficulty is
expected in meeting this. The sher

ihey are not compelled to make a final
settlement until a month later than

An International Love-Affair That Threat-,
r.ned a Veritable War. '
Thomas 0. Allen, Jr., and WillianJ L.
Sachtleben, the young American stu
dents who made a bicycle tour around
the world, describe their experiences in
Tersia in the Century. The following
peculiar international complication
came to their knowledge at Tabreez:
The English government, it seemed,
had become embroiled in a local love
affair j'ukt at a time when Col. Stewart
was off on "diplomatic duty" on the
Itussian Transcaspian border. An ex
ceptionally bright Armenian beauty,
a graduate of the American missionary
schools at this place, had been ab
ducted, it was claimed, by a young
Kurdish cavalier, and carried away to
his mountain home. Her father, who
happened to be a naturalized English
subject, Vid applied for the assistance
of his adopted country in obtaining her
release. Negotiations were at once
set on foot between London and Tehe
ran, which filially led to a formal de
mand upon the Kurds by the shah him
self. Upon their repeated refusal,
seven thousand Persian troops, it vas
sajid, were ordered to Soak Uoulak,
under the command of the vice-consul,
Mr. Patton. .
The matter at" length assumed such
importance as to give rise, in the house
of commons, to the question: "Who is'
Katty Grecnflttld?" This, in time, was
answered by that lady herself, who de
clared under oath that she had become
0 Mohammedan, and was in love with
the man with whom she had eloped.
More than this, it was learned that she
had not a drop of English blood In her
veins, her father being an Austrian and
her mother a native Armenian. Where
upon the Persian troopers, with their
much disgusted leader, beat an inglori
ous retreat, leaving "Katty Greenfield"
mistress of the situation, and of a Kurd
ish heart.
BROOKLYN BRIDGE.
IIo Cold, Heat and the Passing of Tralus
Arrpct jt.
As jtou stand in the exact middle of
Brooklyn bridge you wilL observe
where the compensation is made for
the expansion and contraction by heat
and cold, says the Xew York Indepen
dents The bridge, resting on the four
cables, is divided into two parts in the"
middle, and one end is arranged to
slide over the other. You can put
your hand on the railing and measure
by the rubbing of the parts how far
they have pulled back in winter or have
overlapped in suiui.ier. If you watch
from cool m-nimr till midday you can
see just how much the bridge has ex
panded in mx hours.
Hut does the bridge which thus feels
heat and cold aha fool at all the strain
of the weights that iass . over it? Let
us look and rec. We stand again in
the middle of the bridge and watch as a
train of car- passes by. Wc notice, where
we looked before to see one end slide
over the other, that foot passengers do
not seem to affect it in the least. When
a heavy team passes by there is no ob
servable movement. The bridge does
pot seem to have noticod it at all." But
here comes a train of ears crossing the
bridge. As it comes near we observe
that the railing overlaps, the ends be
gin to move apart. They separate for
an inch. Then, as the train passes,
they come together again, and in a mo
ment they are in their normal position.
The bridge has noticed that the train
was passing. ; It did not break; it felt
no painful strain, but it noticed and
felt and acknowledged and registered
the pressure which vainly attempted
to break the cables.

the nearest table among others sat a
good-natured German, who laughed
heartily every time one of the story
tellers, a' bright actor of Irish extrac

was on the German nationality v The
Irishman saw this and finally asked
the appreciative German's auditor to.

once accepted. " Finally pressed to tell
a story on his own behalf he begaa one
very awkwardly, but he broke down
with, the apology; -
"Eftor I nst had your dialick I could

And,- nijs the Chicago Times, he
hadn"t the slightest idea why every
body laughed so uproariously, and
why the Irishman cheerfully paid for
everything.

Not Only a Fnake Story 15
iut a Fish Story
as Well.
Here is a f.nake stcry from a IJechu
nnaland paper winch we do not re
member having ' seen before, says the
Rangoon Times. A IJarberton man
rwho goes to church regularly was one
day walking-along the banks of Con
cession creek- eating a 'sandwich, and
on account of the usual disparity be
tween meat and "Wead, he threw the
redundant piece into the water. Im
mediately a swarm of yellow fish bub
bled around it fighting for the mouth
ful. The man searched his pockets for
fishing tackle, but all in vain, and he
was just beginning to die of despair
when his eye. lighted pn a blacksnake.
At that moment he remembered how
his fathernscd to tell him that black
snakes were very expert in catching
fish. lie tAerefore grabbed the reptile
by the tail, carried it to the river and
held it over the struggling fish. The
snake proved itself a born angler, and
in the course of an hour the man had
captured forty fine fish. A few day;
later as he was walking, in the same
place he felt something rub against
his leg, and looking down he saw his
old friend the blacksnake, eager for
more sport.
