GALvKsros. May 24.-The Fort Worth
Gaseste this morning prints four col
umn interview with Gen, Mcclellan. in
which the latter discusses matters freely.
He In in Texas in the interest O: A avn.
dicate OF Nov York capitalists who con-
template purchasing a BODY of land in
Knox county. He thinks the South in
general and Texas 10 particular have
made wonderful progress since the war.
he anticipated that the introduction OF
cotton factories would advance the cot
ton States to the first position in the
Union. The Democratic party should
come ont squarely for q tariff for rev.
enue only. Absolute free trade was i'm.
possible. The people wouldn't support
protection any longer. He believed
the chance favored the election of Car
Isle for Speaker of tho House, but be
spoke very warmly Of kandail's ability
and services. Tilden was out Of the
field az q Presidential possibility, and
Cleveland was never candidate. He
spoke warmly of Hancock and Bayard.
Would not be surprised il tho former
again became the Democratic nominee.
Butler and Dana wero impossible,
az none but straight Democrats
should be honored. He further
said that northern capitalists were
eagerly to poasess themselves of
Texas land; that cattle raising was be-
coming contagious with northern men.
Preparing fer struggle.
CHICAGO, May 3.-All doubt of gen.
eral strike among iron workers June LIST
has been removed by a fat which has
gone forth from the headquarters Of
the amalgamated AIS sciation of iron
and steel workers. demanding the pres
ent scale Of prices be maintained.
Members of the association in this city
and vicinity received orders to stop
work May 3lst at midnight, II the com
panies do not recede, and notices to
that effect were generally served upon
manufacturers yesterday. In every
case compliance with demand, was re-
fnsed, and preparations are being made
for n general shut down. Workmen as
q rule do not look forward 70 an indefi-
nate period of idleness with any degree
of satisfaction. but they are under the
control of the association aud there Is
no alternative. Manufacturers are
equally reluctant TO be idle, but while
they express sympathy for the men
they say aoceding to the demand would
result IN actual loss. The strike will
affect only what are termed western e.
tablishments, which include all mills
west Of the Allegheny mountains, those
east OF the mountains having no ANAL
gamated association TO deal with. The
Allegheny range il numerically the d.
viding iins, about the same number of
mills being on either side. On the
western division there are about 5000
blast furnaces with an annual capacity
in pig iron If about 10000 net tons,
with the exception Of steel rails, and
very small per cent Of the iron works
which employ non union men exclusive
ly. These establishments will all be
closed, and at least 10000 operators be
thrown out Of employment. OF this
number Peunsvlyania will have about
one half, Ohio about the next largest
number, and Illinois the third, with
Indiana little lees than Illinois.
Again sitting.

Gen. Grant laterviewcA.
Chicago, May 25.-In An interview
with Gen. Grant the question was asked,
"Do you regard Crooks failure to make
his whereabouts known a. an indication
he Is in daneer2"
mo, 1 do not. Gen. Crook IL an able
officer. A An Indian fighter have ev-
cry confidence In him. He has not en-
tered into this engagement With the
Apaches without considering the obsta-
cles that are sure to spring up before
him. His progress must necessarily be
allow. and in q mountainous region
Mexican Indians accustomed TO the
country may temporarily ontrench
themselves, bat it In to be expected that
Crook will dislodQe and capture them.
There il no reason 20 doubt It,"
"You have no idea he has been drawn
into = situation where the Apaches
could massacre him"
81 don't believe be has met with any
such fate. Nv knowledge Of Crooks
character has the support Of bearing In
mind he has many recruits OF great OK
perience and some cavalry at his CON-
mand. This forbids me entertaining
the Thought that Crook has met With
disaster. At any rate il will take Of
fiuial information 20 convince me be II
