THE STRIKERS
In Galveston Refuse to Give Up-Bnsiness
in the City at a stand Still-NO shipping
Done.


GALVESTON. Tex. Nov. Z.
The situation in the strike inaugurated in
this city by the Knights of Laber organiza-
ton against the Mallory Steamship company
remains unchanged. Both sides remain ap-
parently firm, yet many persons profess to
see signs of weakening on the part of the
strikers. In their evening paper, the Exec
utive Board, the Knights exhort their brethren
TO hrmness aid silence, and, after defence
OF the causes alleged for the strike. conclude
with the threatening announcement: you
cannot starve us into submission. The whole
city Is stocked with groceries and the first
law OF nature is self preservation. Be warned
In time" In the same issue the Knights in
vite all colored workingmen to join their or
der, and be protected from the pauper labor
of other countries. Perfect stscnation exists
in the trade of the city. This afternoon the
Houston Direct Navigation Company brought
down 500 bales of cotton from Houston for
shipment on the Mallory steamer Marcus.
The cotton was loaded by colored laborers.
The executive committee of the Knights of
Labor have taken steps to stop further ship,
ments of tins character BY Withdrawing the
engineers and fremen from the barges. Many
thousand bales of cotton await shipment from
Huston. The indications point to an early
crisis in the situation. The strikers are get
ting very restless, as are the large exporting
houses, who have forty idle ships now on
hand,
President Sealey of the Santa Fe Railroad
Company has asked the State executive
committee of the Knights of Labor to meet
him and Others in a conference ats o'clock
today kilograms were sent throughout the
State summoning every member of the COM
mttee to be present at all hazards. The re.
suit of this conference is awaited with great
interest by both sides. The Mallory com
pany being the least affected by the boy colt,
Is doing absolutely nothing toward an AMIGA
Bile settlement. 1t is not even known whether
the Mallorys propose to be represented at the

HoUsToN, Tex, Nov. 8.
When the Knights of Labor, who were
employed on the Houston Direct Navigation
Cos wharf here, went on the strike yesterday
morning, In response to a request from the
knights who are on strike in Galveston,
they congregated on the wharf and refused
TO permit other laborers 10 load cotton. 1t
is stated that Superintendent Atkinson there
upon telegraphed Gov. Ireland to call out
the militia, but this the Governor refused to
do. Atkinson then filed a notice in the county
court to the effect that his company would
hold Harris court responsible for all dam
ages to their business, sustained by obstruc-
tiOns.

THE WARNER CASE.
Letter from Counsel Bliss to Dist. ATTY.
DOrsheimer.

New YORK, Nov. Z.
U. S. District Attorney Dorsheimer, hav-
ing taken the case of William S. Warner be-
fore the grand jury, George Bliss, of counsel
for Warner, has written letter to Mr.. DORIS
heimer, in which it is urged that the cause of
justice would not have been prejudced had
the presentation been delayed week or two
In the letter Mr.. Bliss used these words,
which are interesting Permit me to remind
you that the charge against Warner is of aid
ing and abetting Ferdinand Ward that since
the warrant against Warner was issued, Ward
has been convicted in the state court and sent
to state prison for ten years, that under the
admitted and undoubted law of United States
courts you cannot try Warner as accused un-
til Ward has been convicted of the same
principal offence, or is dead, and that YOU
cannot, until his sentence expires, get hold
Of Ward to try him. Warner, therefore, if
indicted, cannot be tried for ten years" In
his reply, Dorsheimer does not meet these
points, but tells Bliss he may put evidence
for Warner before the grand juIy.

IRON INDUSTRY.
Increased Activity and a Brighter Out.
look Reported from Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Z.
T Authorities in the iron trade state that the
favorable conditions which appeared three
months ago continue in all lines. Steel rails
are still in good request, and the current price,
332 per ton, is firmly maintained. Arrange
ments have been made, it is said, for putting
in blast several of the furnaces along the
Schuylkill that have been idle for years, as
there is good demand for pig iron. There
is considerable inquiry for structural iron,
and the mills are pretty actively at work.
Nails are scarce on account of the strike, and
have advanced 10 cents keg. Muck bars
are somewhat higher at S27 and S2S. Wrought
iron pipes are in active demand, although it
is said some manufacturers are beginning to
accumulate stocks. The requirements for
railroads now being constructed will, it is
calculated, keep the mills pretty busy for
some time to come. There are few old rails
in the market. but if more should come out,
they could readily be sold.

How beautiful are the above
lines uttered by the worlds great
est mind! How infinite the scope
of mans power if his faculties are
well preserved. Nothing, short of
creation, is to him impossible.
Our soul is lost in admiration when
we contemplate the possibilities of
this greatest exhibition of Infinite
Power. Yet what is this "quint-
essence of dust" when blasted by
disease-his noble functions per-
verted or destroyed?
AS call men are born free and
equal" as far as moral rights are
concerned, so likewise we hold
they should be born physically, but
as long as children must suffer for
the sins of their parents this can
not be. That the human race has
deteriorated physically is a conced-
ed question. To restore it is an
impossibility, as long rs people
persist in immortality and indul-
gences which are in disregard of
natures laws. The most we can
do then is to ameliorate this con-
dition, and cure disease in indi-
yiduals.
To this end we offer to the pub
lie, remedies which have done more
good-accomplisbed better results
in overthrowing disease than any
others which have been discovered
up to the present time, viz:
DR.. FLOWERS LIVER AND
STOMACH SANATIVE, AND
NERVE PILLS.
The former is an infallible
remedy for all affections of the
Liver and Stomach, and is besides
an invaluable general tonic. The
latter is reliable cure for all
nervous diseases and conditions,
such as Hysteria, Sleeplcssness,
Nervous Prostration, Depression
caused by overwork, etc.
These remedies are extensively

STEAD AND JARRETT GUILTY.
Finding of the Jury IN the Armstrons
Abduction Case.
LONDON. Nov.

LONDON, Nov. Z.
The trial of Mr.. Stead. editor of the Pail
Mall Gazette. Mr.. Bramwell Booth of the
Salvation Army, Mr.. Sampson Jacques OF the
staff of the Pail Mall Gazette. and Louise
Mourey. defendants in the Armstrong abduc-
ton case, was resumed at the central crimi-
nal court to-day before Justice Lopes. The
Judge, in MS charge TO the Jury. urged that
they bring in verdict according TO the law.
and not to allow their personal sympathies to
influence their decision. Mr.. Stead, Justice
Lopes said, filled the Pail Mall Gazette with
hlthy, disgusting articles of an obscene ma
ture, the publication of which was not con-
nected with the present charge. The only
material question for the jury to decide was
''whether the child Eliza Armstrong was
taken away from her home against her father
will, and they were also to determine wheth-
er the mother sold her child to the prisoners,
as alleged by the defence.
The jury returned at 3 40 o'clock P. NJ.
The foreman asked the judge before the jury
left their seats to allow them to distinguish
between Mrs. Jarrett and Mr.. Stead as to
their criminal liability in case they concluded
that Mrs. Jarrett had disobeyed the instruc-
tions of Mr.. Stead.
The jury returned to the court room at 6. 40
O'Clock with the verdict They agreed that
Stead aud Mrs. Jarrett took Eliza Armstrong
from her home against her fathers will, but
could not agree that the mother did not sell
the child, as alleged by the defence, and that
Mr.. Booth and Mr.. jacques were not parties
to the abduction. The judge deferred pass
ing sentence on the convicted prisoners until
after the trial for the indictment for indecent
assault against Stead, Jacques, Jarrett and
Mourey.
The prisoners were all admitted to bail to
appear on Tuesday next. The jury allowed
that MIR. Stead had been misled, and they
urged that the laws for the protection OF
women and children should be better en-.
