The Building Trades' council, an -organization repre senting 25, 000 Chicago workingmen, met last night. There were ISO delegates at the meeting, and for nearly five hours the v discussed the strike. Then a vote was taken, and the order issued by the organisation calling its members out last j TnPriav was almost unanimouslv pc- was i scinded. The strike, ?co far as the Build ing Trades' council is concerned, wa3 thereby -declared off. No resolutions of sympathy were adopted, nor was there any sympathy expressed for the Amen- can itaiiway union. 21113 action prac ticailv takes away the support of .the Chicago workingmen fvom DebsT .... , The switchmen have taken decided ac tion regarding the ' strike. A meeting held to-da resulted ? in the following being promulgated: "We.th'erand.Doard of directors of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid' association of North America, now assembled in the city of Chicago, have carefully consid ered our position in the pending strike of the American Railway tarion, and, "Whereas Our grand master, Miles W.

Methods of carrying on the strike and of making it more effective were considered. In addition tothe mem bers of the board there were present Mas ter j Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor, J. D.Svenson of East St. Louis, and F. JS. Ronemus of Kansas City, executive officers of the Brother hood of Railroad Carmen, and J. Bowie of Battle Creek, Mich. , grand chief of the Brotherhood of Railway Trackmen? All of the affiliating orders agreed to go out on strike randto stand by the American Railway union in its strike to the end. it was resolved that in view of the rejection by the General Manai ers' association of the proposition of peace, that a muster of all the forces at once be had and the strike vigorously prosecuted without regard to time or consequences. Six new men were sent into the held to work among the doubt ful and hesitating, and as fast as possible members of the executive board will take the field. The meeting authorized President Debs to send the following despatch to Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers : "Chicago, July 14, 1894. To P. M. Arthur; Grand Chief of tlie Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Lleveiana, u. "The newspapers quote you as having issued an official order to your members requiring them to work with scab fire men or anyone the companies might em ploy. It is also , reported s to - us on what seems reliable authority, that you are issuing letters of recommendation to engineers for the purpose of filliDg positions vacated by the strikers, in "other words, that you are supplying 6cabs to take the places of striking engineers.

Railroad officials devoted their attehtioh exclusively to-day In getting their traffic departments back into the old lines of doing business. The Rock Island, which had dispensed with the entire forces in its general offices during : the general strike, notified its men to-day to report for duty Monday I morning. The Milwaukee and St- x'aui, which led the way in the general eu?r ' ...;- . . ' !. ' ! ,, . ...... . pension of office business, put all its men back to work on Tuesday. All the other roads will resume their usual routine after to-day. Tins was pay day on the Rock Island and the office of the paymaster on the tnira noor of the Van Bur en building was besieged by an eager crowd. The Utocagoana Northwestern also paid off its men. Its pay car stoodrinthe yard ju3t west of the Weils street depotrcompany oi regu lars was pested close byTonthat had any attempt been made to remove tHecar ft could easily have been frustrated. The managers have laid down lor themselves a policy of the strictest possible economy, I so as to offset, to the greateet extent possible, the losses of the strike. They jexpect thateveraLweeks will elapse be Ifore traffic will resume itsjisual volume. iThe work of assigning the men to the positions they left' will, for many of then:, be a very slow process, j The strikers at Pullman will stahtl firm,, notwithstanding thepositien of the 'American Railway union and the Gen- jeral Managers' association, and they an j pounce mat tney rexpecc, to win aespiuj the amarent defeat of the present, be lieving that the public ia still witk them in their fight againt the Pullman Palace Car company.

Three passen gers on the suburban were injured in! the wreck, both locomotives were ruined and two coaches were telescoped. Nobodv was killed.

He was promptly arrested and jailed, but was bailed out this morning. San Francisco, July 14.

Terre Haute, Ind., July 14. Grand Master Sargent of the Firemen's brother hood said to-day that the; brotherhood wpuld come out of the Pullman strike stronger than before it was ordered; for it would demonstrate their i conservative character.

The plan slowly and laboriously evolved by a joint committee of the two Houses for a re-j ments of the Government and which wa i n rrmrm tori in fha I tive and Judicial Appropriation bill, was the only portion of that measure! which provoked any ! debate to-day. -a motion to strike out those provisions was mafia Vtt I Qano i-r Cvw.nM n J caieu m a speech m wnicn the proposed change was described as an entire revohH uon of : the financial system of the Gov- ernment. His familiarity with the rou4 tine of; business in the treasury might! have been suppose to give great, weight! and authority to his judgment, 1 but his.' opposition to the change had really ro effect at all, for there were only four, votes (including has own) given to the! motion! to strike! out the, paragraphs j while there were forty votes against it.i The bill went through the Committee of the Whole mto the Senate, but there! were so many ( amendments on rather trifling j matters offered by individual Senators that the bill did not reach its final passage. i '. I A newspaper statemeut, recently made, representing the Populist Senator from Nebraska (Allen) as making an unseeuily exhibition of himself in the fitfaltby building, where- many Sepators have rooms for the convenience of therhselves and clerks, was denounced by Senator Allen to-day as absolutely false and with out a shadow of foundation. It had been given currency to, he said, by an assassin of the,,characterof;"a human ghoul," one who,! "like the J strangler of India, crouched in the grass by the pathway, threw the deadly rope around his victims neck arid choked out his .life;" but while he heaped all these and other epithets on the head of the offending newspaper man. Senator Allen tisserted, with an at tempt j of Christian forbearance and charity, which almost passed belief , that he "would not speak unkindly of the man,"j and that he "entertained for him no unkind feeling whatever." The Senate adjourned at 4:15 "o'clock, after the point of no quorum had been raised to an amendment to the Legisla tive Appropriation bill. ; . HOUSE of representatives. Speaker Pro Tern. Richardson, in a letter Jto Clerk Kerr, named Representa tive Dockery to perform the duties of the chair to-day. j I Thej hot weather or some other irri tating: -cause developed an unusual amount of "objection" in ttie House to day, ind of half a dozen efforts to ob tain unanimous consent for the considera tion of private bills in the morning hour, only One was successful, f ! Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, was fortunate enough to get a bill through for the con struction of a bridge across the Mississ ippi river at Dubuque, la., for the Du buque and Wisconsin Bridge company. An hour was then spent in fruitless dis cussion of the bill reported, by the Com mitted on Inter-State and Foreign Com merce, to promote the efficiency of the revenue , cutter service by providing a system of retirement for the officers, j Mr. 'Clark made another speech against it, and when the! vote on reporting it favorably to the I House showed a ma jority of twelye in its favor, he made the point of no quorum, which had the effect Of preventing action on it to-day. The rest of the session was occupied in the delivery of eulogies upon the late Representative George W.' :Houk, of the Third Ohio district, who died February 9th j . - j I The House adjourned at 3:35 o'clock; The Suns's Cotton Review. New York, July 14. The Suns : cot ton reviod says: There was a decline in Liverpool. The crop news was favor- able, glish Trade and 'speculation were slug-; Tliere was some disposition to liquidate August and prices declined. On the decline,; howeyer, there was enough buying for short account to cause a slight rally. Rain is needed in some sections west of the Mississippi. The Mississippi State report, dated July; 9th says:, "All things considered, the week has been favorable thoughoilt the State.1" Crop advices for the week gen erally have been of a very favorable character. Rain has fallen in almost all localities during the week, and the crop has, as a rule, been benefitted thereby. Reports from Texas are, as a rule, quite satisfactory and in some sections moist ure is claimed to be needed.

The Conferees on the Tariff t Bill to Report That They Cannot Agree on An j P. fcints.j Washington; July 14. Watjor Bricg was laconic to night when a- ,ke or m" formation when, the tariff conferees would report "The report,' Uaid he; . "will be made to the two L ous on Wednesday of next waek. 1 con ferees will report a disagnemt nt ahd both Houses will instruct for a. 10ther conference." When ask ! if his di, 4 ofc think there would be a- partial ag "ree" ment, he replied that he did not; as ' inclination had been manifested to mal a dividend report. 4 4 4 Other Senators also predict that a re port will be made during the week, but they are not so positive as to the day, and some of the members of the com mittee in their conversation with news paper representatives, whatever they might say to their fellow Senators and Representatives, discourage the idea that a report may be expected (during- the week. They say that it is yet too early to say when a conclusionwill be reached by the Democratic eonfertes, without taking into consideration the possibility of delay after the Republican members of the conference are invited to partici pate in its proceedings, j On this latter point Senator Aldrich said to night that if, when the" Republi cans are asked into the conference, it ghould appear that the Democratic Seni-' ' torial conferees had made concessions sufficient to materially alter the char acter of the Senate bill, they would cer tainly ask for full information as to the reasons for the changes, and that in that event the probabilities were that! consid erable time would be necessary after the beginniug of the full conferenr4 IWnrA the report could be made. - 7 If, however, Senator Brice is correct in his prediction that there will not be a divided report, and that the report made will simply state the fact of a dis agreement, there would seem to be no .reason for the Republican conferees de- Imandmg prolonged consideration in committee. 4 I I With reference to the . proceedings of the conference to-day it can only be stated that the sugar schedule has con sumed the greater part, if not the entire time of the committee, and that the worfe has been devoted largely on the bart of the Senators to persuading the Rpresen- iciivca wo uuiistm, to me retention ot the ainerenuai on rehned suerars. In- queries have f also been sent out I bv . the .conferees as to how much less than 40 per cent, ad valorem will Batisfy the sugar producers. Louisiana members jof Congress say nothing whateyer can be yielded from the 40 per cent, rate, and the response to the conferees was to that effect. i While it is true that during the week almost every schedule in the bill has been Under-consideration, it is a. fact that as yet few if any rates, have been fixed other than tentatively, and when mem bers of the conference say that' nothing has been absolutely agreed upon, they are technically within the bounds of truth. It appears from the best infor mation obtainable that a great j part of the time has been given a representation to the House conferees by the Senate members of the necessity of making the most liberal concessions possible in the . hiterest of the final passage of l ithe bill through the Senate. The House con ferees have indicated in most, if not all, instances what they thought the House would assent to, and it is the figures given in these cases which have been ac cepted as agreements by those who have heard them reported, I i s !4 1 Iioyal to the RallroadJ t I Philadelphia, July 14.
