INTENDS FROM THE LAKHS
TO THE PACIFIC.
Plye Thousand Men Out in Chicagc
Most of the Roads Leading Into
That City Tied Up Other
Roads to be Tied Up Trains
Stopped and Pullmans
Cut Out The Strike
to be General.
Chicago, June 27. As a result'of the
first day of the boycott of the Pullman
company,' there are over 5,000 employes
of the different roads running out 6f
Chicago on strike. The attempt to nln
Pullman cars has resulted in the tying
up of fifteen railroads centering . here.
Of thes the Illinois Central, Wisconsin
Central, Chicago and Great Western,
Baltimore and Ohio, Chicago and North
ern Pacific and the lines interested m
the Western Indiana system are tied up
completely, the only trains run Vmt being
made up and manned by officers of the
roads. Last night the switchmenjof the
Panhandle and - Northwest roads also
struck.
Strikes will be declared within the
next two days on the Fort Wayne, the
Panhandle and other Pennsylvania lines,
the Chicago and Northwestern, Chicago
and Alton and Santa Fe. The last named
road was partially tied up to-day along
the line on orders issued by the union
officials, but the men in Chicago will not
be ordered out until to-morrow. At a
conference between President Debs and
Vice President Howard of the American
Railway union and Grand Master Sov
ereign of the Knights of Labor, held this
arcernoon, toe latter agreed to support
the JP uilman strikers in the boycott and
in accordance with the agreement issued
a manifesto addressed to all orders of
the Knights of Labor in the United
States.
The sensational feature of the strike
to-day was the complete tying up of the
roads running out of the grand central
station and which include the Wisconsin
Central, Baltimore and Ohio, Chicago
and Northern Pacific and Chicago Great
Western. Each road has been left with-,
out a single employe in the yards and
although the Baltimore and Ohio suc
ceeded in getting out its passenger trains,
all of the work was done by the officers
of the company fc who manned the switch
engines and made up the trains.
ine nrst victory gamed by the strikers
was at 6 o'clock this evening when the
Chicago Great Western, after its through
passenger trains to St. Paul and Kansas
City had been backed into the depot de
cided to conform to the wishes of the
employes and cut off the two Pullman
sleepers which are usually run. , This
road was tied up in its yards in five min-
ntes, ana without any notice whatever
to the officials. '
The mass . meetings held to-dav
by the. Illinois Central employes
resulted in. a guarantee being given
to all train and engine men as well as
other employes on the line that they will
be protected and supported by the union
whether they- become members or, not.
The only request made was for co-oper
ation. As soon as the guarantee was
made, engineers, firemen, brakemen and
conductors consented to go out when
ever called upon. The same offer is. ex
tended, to ail classes or employes on
other roads and is likely to win over all
of the men who have held off until some
assurance of protection could be secured.
President Debs said to-day that no
man under the control of the union
would be permitted to interfere with the
running of trains in any manner what
ever except by quitting work. If neces
sary, Mr. Debs said, he stood ready to
guard any and all railroad property with
his men. . -
About 8 o'clock to-night the officers of
the American . Railway union in charge
of the strike sent out an order to the
switchmen, switch-tenders, yardmen and
switch engine crews of the Panhandle
line to quit work. The men walked out
as they were notified, but all the trains
scheduled to leave to night got out on
time before the committee had made the
rounds. The union men say that no
trains will be handled for that road to
morrow.
The other lines entering the union sta
tion, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul, and the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincey are not affected as yet.
At 9:30 o clock to-night all the round
house men employed by the'Wisconsin
Central at Ogden avenue went out in
connection with the Pullman boycott. .
At 3:30 p. m., a crowd of fifty switch
men visited rordnam yards ana un
coupled an engine. They compelled the
eneineer at the point of a revolver to
take it back to the round house and no
tified Assistant Agent O'Leary and the
yard masters that they would work no
longer. This action necessitated tne
leaving of fourteen cars of perishable
freight sidetracked.
All the switchmen and switch tenders
employed by, the Chicago and Western
Indiana Railway company struck at o
o'clock. The number of men employed
in that capacity was seventy-five. All
the railroads entering the depot except
the Santa Fe use the Terminal tracks of
the Western Indiana and the strike
caused much confusion and temporary
embarrassment regarding the starting of
throuch trains On time.
At midnight the town of hammona.
Ind.. iust across the State line, is in the
hands of a mob of several hundred people,
in sympathy with the strikers. . The
Nickel Plate passenger train leaving here
at 8:20 o'clock was delayed two hours by
the crowd. The Monon passenger train
that left here at 8:30 o'clock this evening
was also stopped and it is still there,
surrounded by the crowd, who have de
tached two Pullman sleepers from the
train and refuse to allow them to be put
back. No call for police has been re
ceived at any cf the Southern suburbs
and it is likely the train will stay there
all night.
The passenger trains on ine rrie lor
New York and Boston were delayed
more than an hour ; at the - Polk street
station, the trains finally being made up
hv the railroad officials.
It was decided by the American Rail
way union officers late to-night to call
out the Chicago and Northwestern yard
employes and a committee was at once
sent,to notify the men. The North west
ern officials had anticipated such a move
and had their tracks patrolled by special
officers. The committee succeeding in
getting out one crew and started for the
main vards or tne company ai " cotciu

Switchmen's association declining to ask

their emolovers and as they have no
grievances they cannot break their obli
cations.
A crowd of strikers and sympathizers

Washington, June .27. Attorney
General Olney has asked for an addi
tional appropriation of $50,000 for
United States marshals. So far, the
Coxey army disturbances have cost the
Department of Justice more than $53,
000. ' The disturbances that have giyen
rise to unusal expenditures, the Attorney
General says, include t fourteen States
and two Territories. . i-
A favorable report was to-day ordered
by the House Commerce committee on
the Nicaragua Canal bill. This conclu
sion was not reached, however, without
considerable discussion, which developed
the fact that Mr. Caruth, of Kentucky,
is strongly opposed to the measure. On
a motion made by Mr. Price, of Louisana,
to postpone consideration of the bill for
the present, Mr. Adams, of Virginia, the
chairman of the committee, voted in the
affirmative with Mr. Price. The bill was
amended in several particulars, but
these were mainly unimportant, except
in the case of two amendments which
are aesignea iuriner to protect me

V
New York, June 27. The current
upward movement in prices at the Stock
Exchange, which received its first impe
tus from the remarks of President Cleve
land on the financial situation, made
further progress to-day. London was
again a buyer of its favorites, in alL 10,-
000 shares of St. Paul, Erie, Louisville
and Nashville, Atchison and other lower
priced issues. This buying is having an
awakening effect on Sterling exchange
and rates have dropped below the gold
exporting point. Hankers are more wil
ting to draw against future exports of
grain, cotton, provisions and securities.
and it was rumored at the close that a
firm with political connections had made
a big Sterling loan. This, of course, puts
an end to the gold efflux and relieves the
situation to that important extent.
Other bull . factors were 'the
comparatively favorable- report of
the St. Paul for-'-- May and
the belief that the Tariff- bill will soon
pass the Senate. American Sugar was
thegreat feature of speculation, 56,100
shares being traded in. The bears, who
the heaviest buyers, however, have

whatever. Gold engagements for the
Augusta Victoria.sailing Thursday, were
only SoOO.UUO, which is considerably bef
low yesterday's estimates. The market
closed strong and advanced under the
leadership of Sugar. Net changes of the
day show gains of i to 3f per cent.
Transactions were 155.000 shares, against

Chicago, June 27. It is taken for
granted that the majority of July con
tracts in wheat have been either closed
up entirely or transferred over into Sep
tember, ana that the trade is awaiting
authentic tidingsof the harvesting before
acting in the market to any extent. This
view of the situation is warranted by the
business to-day. There was a brief spell
of activity at the opening and one or two
little spurts during the session, but fur
ther than that, a settled calm lay over
the pit. A full half cent was lost over
night, and during the first few minutes
additional declines were made, but sub
sequently there was a slight rally, coming,
no doubt, from general talk of too much
rain, especially in the Southwest. Every
thing that was received favored the early
weakness. September wheat opened 611 to
6lc, sold between 61 c and 60J to 60c,
closing at oli to Oli, a net loss of i to fc
for the day. Cash wheat was about ic
lower. "
With a range of but ic. it can easily
be seen that it is hardly possibly that
there could be much, if any, feature to
the corn market. There was the lightest
kind of a trade and the opening and
closing prices were the same, showing a
slight depression from yesterday. The
stock opened 41 i to 41 jc sold between
41Jc and 41c, closing where it started.
Oats were dull and weak. There was
a little changing over into "September
from July, but there was very little in
terest taken in the market. July and
September each closed cunderyesterday.
Provisions were dull and easy. There
was very little effort or disposition to
trade, the pit being deserted most of the
session. Lower prices and the Pullman
strike give a tone of easiness to the mar
ket. At the close September pork and
lard had each lost 2c from yesterday.
September ribs closed unchanged. .Very
little inquiry was heard for produce.

support from strong houses, some of
which, stopped the July notices, while
those who sold July took later months.

During the month of July there will

Broadnax, the rapist, will be hung in
Caswell county. V - -
Superintendent Leazar says that the
growing crops on the State farms are the
finest he has seen any where, though not so
good as they were at this time last year,
owing to the cold' and drought. The
cotton is rapidly catching up, however,
during the favorable weather which has
recently prevailed, and the corn crop is
very fine. He has 2,500 acres in cotton
and 4,000 acres in corn. One field of
corn, which is four and a half miles long
by three eighths of a mile wide, and ' om
fresh land, is especially good. The work
of harvesting has just been completed.
While the yield was very good, Mr.
Leazar says it was far short ot what it
should have been. He had 900 acres in
wheat and 400 in oats. In addition to
this there are 100 acres of gardens on the
farms. The health of the convicts is re
markably good. Of the 1,250 convicts
only five are in bed.
News last night reached here of the
capture in Richmond county of Rowland
Leach, colored, charged with the murder
of Ben McKinzie.a negro who lived near
West End, in Moore county. One night
last April Leach went to McKenzie's
house and calling him to the door and
shot him down. He died in a few days
from the effects of his wounds and Leach
fled. He is now in Carthage jail.

The South Carolina Political Grind.
Charleston, S. C, June 27. The po
litical grind goes on. It is the same old
circus" with the same old chorus, with
the same old baldheaded jokes, the same
grand and lofty tumbling, and the worst
of it is that the last exhibition will not be
given until the 8th of August. To-day's
performance was given at Bennettsville,
Marlboro county. All the speakers were
present and the programme was carried
out The candidates for State offices
spoke first, the tail of the procession
being brought up by Senator Butler and
Governor Tillman. Neither of them in
dulged in much violent talk. Gen.
Butler appealed to his record. Speaking
on national issues, he said that he had
done better lor free silver before the re
form party or the Alliance were heard of.
They were all now getting on his plat
form and he was ready to welcome them.
He wanted to predict that the next
great truggle would be on this line.
The President was governed by his
New York environments. If he 'Butler)
had anything to do with the Democratic
party in the future he intended to read
the riot act. Cleveland, Hill and the
rest of them were tarred with .the same
stick. He now had his mind on a
Western man whom lie considered the
right man to lead the party. As for
talking about a coalition between the
South and West. that, was what many of
them had been working for for years. It
was one thing to talk, an another to act.
In these schemes it must not be forgot
ten that the West was in favor of pen
sions and that system was one of the
heaviest burdens the South had to bear.
There was nothing new, nothing
strong and but little that was picturesque
in what Governor Tillman said. He was
frequently applauded.'
There was no bloodshed no dog
fights to-day.
