STOCK YARD TROUBLES
STILL vEXATIOUS, OWING TO
MORRIS's PLAN
To Pay by the HOur-A shower OF
HOgs-Old Employees Taken
Back.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, November 16.-Lsrg,
crowds OF men assembled at the Forty
third street via1uct and at the railroad
tracks on Root street in the stool
yards this morning to apply for theil
old positions. There was no disorder
OF any kind. About twice as many
men as were engaged yesterday were
sele cted from the crowd this morning
and ordered to report to the various
packing houses for duty. The militia
have all been withdrawn from The olt
posts and are now in the barracks

that the soldiers be withdrawn tomor.
row, as, in his opinion, the civil au.
thorlties will be all that is needed.
The butchers formerly employed by
Nelson Morris notified him this morn
ing that they were not quite ready 10
go to work. They said that they did
not like the plan proposed under
which they are requested to work,
which ia to pay Them 80 much per
hour. Some of Swift's men also re-
fused to go back, and reti ed for con.
sultation.
At 1890 o'clock this morning a sim
gulsr accident occurred. A drove OF
hcgs were being driven across bridge
leading to Allerton's packing house
at the moment q passenger train
was being drawn along under the
bridge. The Structure broke with the
weight of the hogs, and the whole
drove was pTecipitated on 10 the roof
of one OF the cars. Some OF the ami.
mails broke through the roof, and a
number of others fell on the tracks
and wers run over and killed. None
of the passengers in the car suffered
injury, though the sudden onslaught
Of the hogs coca, iCned great commo-
ton.
The programme Of yesterday was
reported az the st ok yards today, The
superintendents representing the va
rious packers met the assembled work
men at the points designated in the
Sheriff's order and selected such as
they wished to resume woyk today.
More of the old woIkmen were taken
than on yesterday. Perhaps 40 per
cent. Of the employees engaged in the
strike are now back within tie pack
iug houses. The soldies we're used
this morning as before, to clear the
yards and dispense the large crowds at
the entrances who were not wanted.
There was no resi- lance and very little
bad feeling. Very many OF the old
butchers taken back are stubbornly
fighting the ironcIad agreement Of
the packers. Many have refused to
sign it, and quite a force in Swift's
walked out when the binding of a
contract was presented to them.
At the house OF Nelson Morris an.
other Disagreement has arisen. The
packer proposes to pay by the hour,
and to pay only for time actually
worked. Heretofore il the men re-
ported for the day, and had but two
or three hours wo,k, they got full
time. The men who went to work for
Morris yesterday accepted the new
deal and are at work today, but those
selected today sent a committee to

they would not enter the house unless
paid for full time, and they did not 20

sition TO light the statue fee Of ex-
pense to the government. He wa,
told to put his offer in writing aud II
would be considered. A member of
the bosrd, in speaking OF the subject
this afternoon, said the main question
to be determined was whether an cleo
trio light was an aid or deIriment to
navigation. There were many persons
who held the latter view, and it is a
fact, he raid, that the electric light at
He'll Gate was to be discontinued after
the LIST proximo because 1t was Ie-
ga ded as dangerous to navigation.

If the dispatch from Scranton, Pa,

Attorney General because OF his con-
nection with the Pan-Eectric Com

Mr. BLAINE's letter, to be found in
another column, will take its place
among the silliest of all the emana-
tons Of that shameless schemer for
the Presidency. The country has
long passed the period when the word
British" had any terors for the peO-
pie. Besides, no one knows better
than Mr.. Blaine that it is not the
British system Of civil service that
Mr.. Cleveland is enforcing, but one
the rules for which were enacted by
Republican Congress and indorsed by
Republican President. Mr.. Blaine
is catchpenny politician, and his
issues OF the "bloody shirt" and a
British civil service and tariff" are
the cheapest he has yet devised.

Cleveland are making themselves ri
diculous. Angry at what they charge

they propose asking him to dismiss

OF course the President will not pay
any attention to this proposition, if
made. Cabinet officers have rights
