Mich., July 13. Everything is moving quietly at all the railroads in this city and the strike is at an end here. Cleveland, O., July 13.-The Ameri can Railway union strike at this point has completely collapsed. Most of the strikers have been taken back, except on the Lakel Shore, where' all hands have been, discharged and their places will be filled with . men -who are known not to witli the American Railway The proposed strike of Tlnights will: not materialize. ' Chicago, July 13. After an all-day's session, tne conference or tne Uixecutive committee of the American Federation of Labor tended by declaring thatat the present ime a general strike of the allied trades would be "unwise and injudicious, I To fully substantiate this position aj special committee prepared ja report which was presented and adopted by the conference, lhe only dissenting votes were by F. W. - Arnold, of , the Order of Railway Trainmen and P. H. Morrissey, or the Brotherhood of who were instructed by their vote aginst the clause 1 wTiich the ! American Railway union lust one. The only other busi ness transacted by the conference was the passage of a: resolution recommending that the American Federation of Labor appropriate $10,000 to assist Eugene V. Debs in the cases to be brought and now pending against him in the Federal courts. i- 1 : '":- Chicago, July 13. Eugene V. Debs, who ordered; the great railroad strike made one more ineffectual Attempt look-. iufl to a settlement to-day.,, He drew. up V formal proposition to the, general managers, .agreeing to nave tne men return to work at once, provided they be reinstated in their former positions with out prejudice He made an exception in the case of any man who nas been cohvipted of Qrime, but offered to. have all others go back immediately. He said that' the proposition was inspired by a desire to subserve the public good, as the strike, 'Small and unimportant in its inception, has extended until "it now involves or threatens not only every pub lic interest, but the. peace, security and prosperity of our common country. This proposition was- signed oy ueps, Howard and Keliher, the principal officers of the American Railway union. It was taken py them toMayor- Hopkins, who .at their request presented it to Chairman St.i John of the General Man agers association. The association was not in session!; but after the individual members had been consulted, it was re turned to "j Mayor llopKins witnout answer, and with the information that no communication whatever from Debs, Howard and ! Keliher could be received by the Managers' association. The action ot tne striae leaders was taken, they claim, not because of lm nendioe defeat, but in order that they should be in liarmony with the sugges tion President Cleveland made in an nouncing tnat he wuld appoint a com mission of arbitration. - 'The refusal of the general managers to even consider the proposition which would necessitate the dismissal of all men engaged to fill the strikers' places and would place thenv again in the power of i the order which paralyzed their lines for dayswas a decided setback to ii. : L ! i ' them to Btay out until not only all the men had been reinstated but until all the non union men who had taken their places had been made to walk. With one voice every man shouted he would. A storm of indignation followed the declaration, of Mr. Howard", that General Manager Earling. of the St. Paul road had notified r; the men dis charged that they would never be allowed to do another stroke of railroad work in the .United States. - - T3iemingham, Ala.

Following this came the result of the. two days' deliberations of the confer ence of labor 'leaders called by Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor. . The Headers of a the big organ izations outside of the American Railway union and tha Knights of Labor decided not to involve the men they represent in any local or general strike. . Early in the day the. action of Presi dent Cleveland had been hailed by. the labor men as! a victory for organized workingmen, as they claim to have ob tained for the first time a recognition of the principal of arbitration by the Presi dent of the United States. The strike leaders then looked for a settlement. The failure of their mode of settlement leaves the strikers only unconditional Biirrondfir or :a fieht to the bitter end. They chose the latter and claim the strike i on it strong as ever, in spite ef what the railway managers say. They claim to be able to make it still more effective here and declare that to day's action of the managers will solidify their men who are out "and send out many who have been undecided. Meetings were held to-day in half a dozen halls and strong talk was indulged in. Danger of a resort to violence by some of the more excitable of the strikers or their sympathizers still exists. A change in the methods of the Federal troops on duty at the- sub treasury indi f aii anDrehension bv those in authority. The gU-Vdi line was tc-iay extended into the street and no one was allowed on the sidewalk adjacent to the building.

A crime against the State was expiated on the gallows of the Cook county jail this morning. Nearly nine months have elapsed since the bullet of an assassin deprived Chi cago of" her Chief Executive," the State of one of her most illustrious citizens, and the country at large of a statesman and a patriot' -To-day the crime was avenged and Patrick-JEugene Prender. gast suffered an ignominiduseath at the hands of the hangman. The tion was devoid of incident, for the assassin went to his i death like ah ox going to the shambles. Up to the last moment the hope of interposition from some source or another did not desert him, although he was fully cognizant of the fact that all efforts in both State and Federal courts and in the Executive chamber had been exhausted. - When it came to the end he nerved himself for a supreme effort and paid the penalty of his crime without a whimper and with out a word. X Prendergast laid down to rest for the last time at midnight and in five minutes was asleep. He slept soundly until 6:10 o'clock when he awoke with a start and in a sulky mood. In a few minutes he was dressed and asked for his breakfast. He was asked what he would like to have. His order was for ham and eggs, fried potatoes and coffee,' but when it was put before him it did not suit him and he called for a porterhouse steak. French fried-potatoes, sliced tomatoes and cu cumbers, hot biscuit and a big pot of chocolate. Then he cleaned up the dishes. During fthe morning he drank two quarts of chocolate, in addition to what he had at breakfast. The waiting time was spent in company with Father Barry. , - j; - .. When the death warrant was read to him at 10 o'clock, Prendergast remarked to the priest: "We may yet hear from the Governor." . .; i i Those who witnessed the execution were the examining physicians, the members of the grand jury now in ses sion and about 200 ticketholders, among whom were included the newspaper men. At 11:40 o'clock the procession to the scaffold moved. Prendergast looked straight ahead and gave no sign of weak ening." Just as the white shroud was be ing tied around his neck he took a long breath and every one imagined "hat he was anout to make a speech. In a sec ond, however, he had set his teeth to gether, while his face grew red and white by turns. I The two deputies led him to the centre of the trap, quickly adjusted the noose and drew the white eap over his head. His hmbs-'seemed. to tremble for a second and then there was a movement from under the white robe, as though he were tracing himself . The signal was given to the unseen executioneer. The body swung round and round, there was one brief, convulsive struggle, and the mur der of Carter Harrison had been avenged. The body was surrounded by the phy sicians, and as soon as life had been pro nounced extinct it was cut down. The jail officials said after the execu tion that the condemned man had re quested an indulgence of twenty min utes after reaching the scaffold for the purpose of making a speech. He was dissuaded from this intention, however, by Father Barry.

Reports that President Cleveland would appoint two commissioners to assist Labor Commis sioner Wright in an investigation of the causes of the recent strike, as well as to suggest remedies, led to a firm opening in the stock market. The fact that the railroads were accepting perishable freight for Chicago was accepted as con clusive . evidence that the' strike was ended and contributed not a little to the firmness, and belated shorts came in the market as buyers.

Sheriff Page lent Sheriff Kearney the ropes and black caps -used at the execu tion. August 3rd he will have to use one of the ropes at the execution of Orange Page, the negro murderer, here. It appears from a letter from Louisburg to-day that Ithere have been threats on the part of Borne of the friends of the Coleys that they would rescue them, and so the jail, has, for several nights past, been guarded by the Franklin Rifles. The latter were also on guard to day. The execution was private. -Mr. John J.

In other lines the situation is also improved. The coke strike is conceded a failure, and the operatives are returning to work. The settlement of the potters' strike at Trenton, after lasting six months, means the re-employment of thousands. A number of small strikes are reported, but there are 25,000 fewer idle-because of strikes on Friday of this week than last.

The Sun's cotton report says: The Liverpool dispatches were disappointing; to ,the bulls; Man chester was" depressed; the .crop news was generally favorable; Europe sold here; there was some liquidation of Au gust; a new bale was reported at Galves ton, and it is stated that new cotton has been sold in Boston for delivery late this moqth. There was a fair '. spot business at lower prices. The ' market is still a email one, and without features of striking interest. One firm said: "There waETva bale of new cotton to-d$y at Galveston. The feeling seems to be that this " was a forerunner of more hew cotton in the near future, and sonie selling was doubtless brought about by fchiS"ear, Liverpool openqa and closed at bot vegtergay's price. We see now what had been apparent for some time, and that is, that Liverpool holds the situation, and, unless we im pro$, cannot advance. Crop ac counts continue 7.&T7 and e S611 eral appearance of the m&rkef is not a favorable one. Should the American or foreign spinners come into, the market for new cotton it would or course give nnnniderable steadiness not only to spots but to futures. It will be days or more however, hefore U s ill he known what their purposes pisf Judge Taft Sends P. W. Phelan to Jail For Contempt in Working Up i the Boycott on the Cincinnati X Southern Road. X j Cincinnati, July 13. Judge Taft of the United States court, delivered his decision to-day in the case of F. ; W.' Phelan, charged with contempt of court in impeding and obstructing the receiver of the - Cincinnati Southern road, ap pointed by the court, in the management and operation of his' road, by directing! and inciting the employes to leave hisj employ and by interfering; with thei business of other roads with jwhich thei Southern road has business, i The court room wps crowded and large number were in .the eorr?dorg. . Many deputy marshals were in and about the court room, but their presence was notneededj as the utmost decorum was observed.) The decision was very long, requiring a full hour to read. j The iudge reviewed at great length the testimony, whiph, he. declared j showed unmistakably that Phelan came here as the agent of and co-worker with Debs toinstitute and direct a boycott determined on by the convention of the American' Railway union to force the railroads to break their contracts with tiie J?uilrg.i company . in order to com pel the latter company to treat 7;th its employes,! who, it appears, are not eligif ble to membership in the American Kau way union. .. . : Pfcean'2 depial of personal agency had no weight with the cburi, owiug ta the eyasive and flippant character of his test timony and the telegrams passing bef tween him and Deb3, as well as his pub-r Ijp utterances. He knew the Cincinnati Southern rpad was in the hands of a ; re ceiver, and yet his Arst efforts were di rected against it. The court found that he was the active agent here in an un lawful conspiracy with Deb3 and others to paralyze the business of the United States, or in other words, to starve thi nation in order to force an employer to terms. ' " -v x ' i Applying the law to the farts, the court . held that to Undertake to force a break of contracts was an unlawful con spiracy. Moreover, the whole plan was a boycott, which has been declared by all the States except Minnesota, to be unl awful. The court plainly recognized the right of laborers to unite and eyen to combine their unions nd appoint leaders for the purpose of obtaining a better price for .thfir labor. They were war ranted in striking that is, leaving their employers in a body to better their own interest, but there was no warrant inlaw for a boycott. ; ' : I The judge having found Phelan guilty as charged, said in reference -to the sen tence that it was the duty of ihe court to enforce obedience to its .orders, 1 il 1 nU I .-- A - n --, r biers of the union that quit work in order to assist tne riiuman employes, and this as sisted the upward movement in the after noon trading. The proposition of Debs, however, did not lead to any extensive buying of securities to cover, for the reason that the Street came to the opin ion ftt an early period of the strike that then was no mony in selling stocks on the latest labor demonstration; . Prices for railway stocks moved up anywhere from to 1 per cent, and closed at about the top figure of the day and week. The issues most 'Conspicuous in the: upward movement was the Grangers Louisville and Nashville, JWestern Union and Mis sori Pacific. Pullman Palace rose to 159 bid,on the introduction by Senator Davis of an amendment placing drawing room and sleeping cars "under the opera tion of the-Inter-State Commerce law. In the Industrials, Sugar, Chicago Gas, Lead and Tobacco were strong and in request, while Whiskey was heavy, breaking from 24 to 21 f, with a Subse quent recovery to 22J. The decline was due to Washington reports that the tax on aisuuers would be reduced from $1.10 to $1.00 per gallon, and the bonded nprioH from eight to five years. It was argued that the reduction would have ai bad effect, as the company has recently taken large quantities of goods out of bond, basing its action on the Senate bill. Sugar moved up SV per cent. to 99f , on the advance of c in refined and the belief that the sugar schedule will receive the approval of the confer ence committee. The collapse of the strike in Chicago had its effect in Chicago Gas, which rose ljc. Tobacco advanced fractionally. -United States Leather; Cordage and General Electric were firm. Speculation closed firm. No gold will be shipped to-morrow, "bankers deciding at a late hour not to forward the $2,000,000 spoken of yesterday. Compared with Thursday's closing prices showed gains of i to 2 per cent. Northwestern, how ever lost i, Delaware and Hudson i and Distillers If per cent. Sales were 131,000 shares, of which 80,000 were listed and 61,000 unlisted. Railway and miscellaneous bonds were stronger. Chicago, July 13. Local profession als hammered wheat to-day, and, although their sales were not prompt in their effect on prices, still, after the big line shade passed from one to another of the scalpers, each taking his fractional loss and passing it along, a net loss of over ic in values was made. One plunger sold over 1,000,000 bushels openly at the start, and if he bought it back at the bottom made a net profit. The outside trade was prominently not in the mar ket. .At the opening there was some gain over yesterday close. September wheat opened at from 58 J to 58fc, sold between ' 58f c and 57c, closing at 58 to 58ic under yesterday. . Corn The situation abroad in this market helped prices materially during the morning hours of trading, but when the slump in wheat came there was not sufficient support to prices to prevent a sympathetic decline. September corn opened at 43fc to 43c, sold between 43ic and 42c, losing at 42Jc, ic under yes terday. Offerings of cash corn were moderately increased to-day. The de mand was good. Price were firpa early, but, later, eased off with the f uture. Oats The small stocks ; of contract stuff in store and the inability to use the fresh receipts on deliveries were the sub ject of gossip in this pit to-day. There was a firm tone to prices on the talk and in sympathy with the other grains. September sold between 29fc and 29 to 29c, clof ing at the inside, a slight frac tional loss from yesterday. Cash oats were weak and prices 1 to 2c per bushel lower. X ' X It was fully 10 minutes after the bell tapped at the opening before there was any trading in provisions. Durinsr the balance of the session but little improve ment took place. -; Prices were weak, in the absence of Bupport and because the hog trade was demoralized.

Senator Hale's resolution, directing the , chairman of the Senate conferees on the Tariff bill to report why a full and free j conference has not yet been held, was then taken up, discussed for an hour and a half and then, by common consent, placed on the calendar. t Senator Hale, in justifying; the resolu tion, .aid that no one could, tell what had become of the Tariff bill, and that, so far as the Senate' and the country were concerned, it was a lost bill. Senator Voorhees. while d3cldmin- any disrespect or lack of courtesy to the Republican conferees, defended the course pursued by the Democratic con ferees in excluding the Renublicans f mm the conferences, as being in the interest , ot speedy action on the bill.. Thev de sired taTperfect it, he said,, "on their own lines of action,' before submitting it to tne iuu conierence committee. The three Republican conferees. Sen ators Allison, Sherman and Aldrich, spoke of the course pursued; by the ma jority com erees as unusual, i Senator Allison said that if the I minority conferees were to be mere by standers at the formal conference, it would be better, to have the ! conference committee dissolved at once. J - Senator Sherman thought that the ma jority conferees I should confine them- seves to such portions of the; bill as r re sented political questions. ! lhe Kiver and Harbor bill was then i taken up, and the half that remained (forty-nine printed pages) was- -disposed of in a little less thantwo hours. The bill was passed and a conference with the House was asked. The Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation bill Was rushed at the same rapid pace, onlv the Daraerranhs providing for a reorganization of the Ex ecutive Departments being reserved. Twenty pages of the bill yet remain to be acted upon besides the reserved sections. A concurrent" , resolution jwaa intro duced by Senator Faulkner and agreed to, for the correction of an error in the bill for the admission of Utah as a State. The correction is to change "Fifth-third to J? if th-fourth as the designation of the Congress to which the Representatives from the new State are to be elected. Within less than an hour the concurrent I resolution had been passed by the House ana tne error corrected m the enroll ment of the bilLI i The Senate adjourned at 6;10 o'clock. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Beyond adopting the report of the con ferees upon tjhe jbill making appropria tions for the payment of pensions for the year ending June 30, 1895, the House ac complished but little business and that only of a preliminary nature. The entire session of the day was spent in con sideration of measures on the private calendar. Two of them, one known as The Qmnibns resolution," recommend ing in bulk thirty-seven olaims, amount ing1 to $1,040 000 to the Court of .. Claims for investigation! were ordered to ne re- gorted to the House unfavorably. J One ill was given a favorable recommenda tion and the rest of the session was oc cupied in discussing the fourth. At 5 o clock the customary recess was taken until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be for the consideration i of private pension Dills. " I Just before the House took a reoess. at 5 o'clock, the Senate concurrent resolu tion to amend a clerical error in the bill to admit Utah as a State was, on motion of Mr. Rawlins, Democrat, of Utah, agreed to. , s II .'-'" ; ": " "' - : a blo6dy battle. Rioters Attack The Execution of the Coley Brothers. Raijeioh, July 13. Two brothers, Tom and Calvin Coley, whits men, aged 27 and 22 years, were hanged to-day at Louisburg, the execution being private. The rope used'to bang; Calvin had been used on seven prfor occasions in diffeint counties of thi$ Ssate during the last ten years. The condemned men were unable to read or write, had never been fo school, nor inside of any chnrch. - They refused to make any statement, but indi cated that they bad not intended to com mit murder. Two ministers visited them often in jail, and they expressed a hope of being forgiven for their sins. In June, 1892, these men and Charles Tucker, a Jewish peddler, met at the house of two negro womep in ffqnkUl. county, u., ana ail dran&. uaivin Coley incited his brother, and they killed Tucker with an ax and carried his body into a neighboring thicket and cov ered it with brush. Finding in his pack $169, they all went to Norfolk. 4 year afterwards the criflse waa discovered, the entire party was arrested, and the women turned State's evidence and the men were convicted. . An immense crowd gathered around the iail to-dav to see the execution, which, however, was eoictlv private. The men met their fate "without emotion. The neck of To ti was broken-by the fall; Calvin died in eighteen minutes, of strangulation.
