A SAFE CITY.
The Galveston News DIIates On Gall
yesson,s Favorable Location.

vesten,s Favorable Location.
GALVESTON, Oct 1.-THE News, in an
editorial, combating misrepresentation
abroad with regard to Galveston in view of
the recent disaster at Sabine Pass as point
of exposure to winds, says:
The geographical situation of Galveston is
as favorable in some respects as it is peculiar.
That profound student of nature and atmos-
pheric air currents and forces, Prof. Maurick,
declared years ago that Galveston was more
than commonly secure. because she was out
of the danger line of cyclonic movements in
the gulf Results have amply velified the
conclusion which that eminent authority
drew from his scientific observations. Gal
weston has been visited repeatedly by so
called storms and partially destructive foods
within the past fifty years and every such
visitation has more clearly illustrated and
more conclusively demonstrated the natural
safety of the city's site, if only reasonable
precautions are exercised in building. There
has been no destruction of real estate i'm
proyements in Galveston that was not invited
by gross carelessneSs in this regard. The late
object lessons should be needed by Galveston,
to be sure, but as regards her geographical
situation far from foreboding disaster, they
teach that she can afford to ''bank,' so to
speak, on physical conditions Of almost absO-
lutte security.

TO preserve the peace and dignity of the city
Of Minneapolis.
A committee from the switchmen called
upon the mayor last evening, when he in
formed them that the railroads had rejected
the proposition to arbitrate the difficulty
and that he meant to enforce the laws of
the state and city. The strikers gave
further assurance of their intention not
only to be orderly, but to assist in the

Should Affect Their Vote.
Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. IA curious COM
plication is presented to the voters of the
Eighth congressional district if they want
to vote the Republican ticket and at the
same time give offices to men whom they
consider honest and fair. Two years and a
half ago the state had lot of pine lands to
sell at auction, and after the first mornings
bidding, the prices became so low that the
commissioners stopped the sale, and after
wards refused to issue patents for the lands
that had been sold. claiming that there was
collision, and that the bidders had formed
pool by which the lands would be bid in
at nominal figures and then resold at actual
value. William L. Price and the other
lumbermen who were after pine raised a
howl and newspaper controversy broke
out. E. G. Timme, secretary of state, and
one of the commissioners, did not hesitate
to come out boldly in his denanciatlon of
the bidders, and Price replied with the
choicest invective. The Milwaukee Jour
nal sifIed the matter thoroughly and laid
bare the facts. and for time Wisconsin's
prominent lumber firms stood IN very bad
odor. Now

Prominent Foreigners Fight.

LONDON, Oct. 17.-At meeting of
South Ireland landlords at Cork on Satur-
day a resolution was adopted declaring
that while they would deal with every rent
case on it's merits. they would not submit
to mob law or the dictates of secret COM
mittees. A committee of the Land Restor-
ton league, replying to Sir William Vernon
Harcourts letter on the land question, main
tains that the case instanced by him repre-
sents the exception rather than the rule.
At Skibbereen on Saturday Mr.. Mccarthy,
secretary of the Skibbereen branch of the
National league, assaulted Mr.. Croakley,
the auditor of the branch for charging him
with misrepresentation of the funds OF the
league. Each had an eye injured. By
ISLANDERS interfered and put stop to the
fighting. The case will be taken to court.

of them did not do his dutyas a public
servant then. and no man can vote for both
without stultifying himself. This view of
the case has been'a source of considerable
trouble to Mr.. Price, but by bulldozing the
Prohibitionists into putting him on their
ticket. and at the same time having the sup
port of the heavy lumber firms that were in
the same deal, he hopes to pull through
the election and hold the district he carved
out for himself when last Wisconsin was
gerrymandered. Except in Prices district,
the Prohibitionists have proved very bur-
densome to Republicans. and the leaders of
the movement claim that they will poll
from %, 900 to 80. 600 votes this year. most
of which will come from districts heretofore
strongly Republican.

IN CONSUL 4TTON.

Mayor AMes Confers With the Mag
mates and Talks to the switch
men.
Sunday was an unusually quiet day in the
railroad yards Of Minneapolis. The Mil
waukee road managed to handle consider
able freight and was not interfered with.
There were no crowds at the Sixth avenue
entrance to the yard, nor was there the
slightest disturbance. At 10 o'clock Mayor
Ames met the representatives of the rail-
roads at the city hall. They were A. Man
vel, general manager of the st. Paul Min
neapOlis & Manitoba road; A. J. Edgerly,
first assistant general manager of the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul; W. II. Fisher,
president of the st. Paul & Duluth; w.
Ii. Truesdell, vice president of
the Minneapolis & ST. Louis;
C. W. Carr, treasurer of the Northern
Pacific; J. NJ. Whitman, general superin-
tepdent of the Chicago, st. Paul. Minneap-
oils 4 Omaha; NJ. G. Kimberley, superin-
tendent of the Northern Pacific. Mayor
Ames stated that he had but recently re-
turned to the city, and desired to hear their
statement An hour later he expected to
meet the switchmen, and he would then
make personal examination of the coDdi-
tiOn of the strike. He desired that the diff
ficulty should be settled by arbitration.
This he regarded as fair and reasonable
way in which the entire matter could be
amicably adjusted. The railroad managers
to this said that they had nothing to arbi-
tTate, and insisted that they should be
furnished with police protection to enable
them to carry on their freight traffic. A
number of questions were asked the mayor
as to what his position would be in case of
certain emergencies.
At o'clock yesterday morning Mayor
Ames appeared before the switchmen at
Plummer Post hall. Ill Nicollet avenue.
He madea brief address in which he urged
that there should be no
RESORT TO VIOLENCE,
saying that there were lawless people who
would use this opportunity TO commit
depredations for which the swtchmen
would be held responsible in public estima-
ton. He explained at some length his
reasons for thinking that both sides should
be willing to su bmit the difficulty to arbi-
tratiOn. AS a result of the conference the
following resolutions were adopted in
reply to the mayors proclamation of yes
terday morning:
Whereas, The mayor of Minneapolis having
in his proclamation called on US to decide on
q fixed number of arbitrators for the purpose
of arriving at remedy for the strike low
in progress, we, the switchmen of Mnneapo-
lis and St. Paul, in meeting assembled, do
hereby unanimously declare:
Whereas, The interests of the public de-
mands the immediate resumption of freight
traffic, and consequently the adjustment of
our differences with our employers; and,
Whereas, We, as a body of switchmen,
earnestly desire that the matter be amicablys
adjusted and most heartily indorse the posi-
ton of Mayor Ames in the premises, there
fore be it
Resolved, That we the switchmen, do
hereby unanimously agree to the terms of
his honor the mayors proposition, and con-
sent to settlement of our differences by ar
duration, and Furthermore, be it
Resolved, That we tender our services in

STILL NO PEACE
Mayor Ames' Conference With
Railway officials and Striking

Arbitration Accepted by the Men,
but Rejected by the Com
panies,

Guarded by Special Force

The Situation.

While it must be said that the strike OF
the railway switchmen is no nearer a solu-
ton than yesterday. the presence of Mayor
Ames in Minneapolis and the knowledge
that he will remain there so long as the
strike may continue, gives feeling of Sc
curity in every quarter. The railway man
ayers. while Stubbornly refusing to submit
to arbitration. thus rejecting the mayors
proposition, feel that he will obey the oath
of the high Office he holds and maintain or
der by enforcing the law. The SWitchmen
know that in Mayor Ames they have
friend TO whom labor never appealed in
vain and in his presence here they feel
relief. though made fully aware that the
law will be enforced. In the general public
a sense of security is impaired by the
knowledge that the responsible head of the
city government is in charge of affairs and
that nothing like disorder or disturbance is
liable TO take place. As for the strike
itself there is nothing encouraging to re-
port.
MAYOR AMES
proposed arbitration, which was promptly
accepted by the men and as promptly re-
jected by the companies. 1t Was the uni
versaI hope of the city that this means
would be employed to bring the strike to
an end, and the regret will be general this
morning when it becomes known that the
railway managers saw lit to decline it.
They demand their right to move their
trains, protected by the law, and Mayor
Ames will see that the protection is fur
nished. When all means TO secure arbitra-
ton failed. the railway companies de-
manded the appointment of limited officers,
and the appointments were accordingly
made Thus guarded, the companies will
undoubtedly move their trains this morning.
Mayor Ames held several conferences with
the switchmen'S committee and secured
from them promise that no overt act
would be committed, assuring them that
his duty was clear in the premises. He
then issued his proclamation, which closed
the events of the day.

The canvass of the Taylor brothers for the
governorship of Tennessee does not diminish
in interest as it goes on. On Wednesday
they met in joint debate at Columbia. Alf,
the Republican nominee came into town the
night before; Bob, the Democrat, followed
the next morning. The former arrived with
out parade, but the latter so arranged it that
he was greeted by crowds, while ''three hun
dred beautiful girls stood in line, and threw
kisses to him as he passed But there seems
to be no Jealousy between these brothers; !;
their canvass is treated as sort of family af-
fair. In opening the debate at Columbia the
Republican described his brother like this !:
bob is genius, and can entertain crowd
better than any man know, but he cannot
be made to define his position upon any ques-
tion before the people. His genius enables
him to be fine dodger, anu the Democratic
party knew this when they nominated hin" I"
When the Democrats turn came he did not
let this fraternal compliment pass unnotic-
cd. This is the way he began his speech =
''Fellow citizens. / greet you with good
cheer l am delighted to look upon this vast
sea Of upturned faces and to see in them ex-
pressions of good will and kindly feeling for
both myself and my brother. This is pc
culiar campaign. 1t is war of ideas.
There shall be no personal abuse While
shall arraign with all the vigor in me the Re-
publican party for its misdeeds, l want no
man to think that reflect upon my brother.
I love him dearly, and if necessary would
lay.down my life for him to-day. He is a
geod pure man in bad crowd" There
are many advantages about this cam
paign. Whichever way it results, the Tay-
lor family is bound to be happy; and the
absence Of personal abuse of the candidates
has kept both parties in good hnmor.

The defeat of Mr.. Parnell's land bill and
the propagation of Parliament which is an
nounced so soon afterwards leaves the Irish
question to go over to the next Parliament
without any other attention than will be
given it by the Tory government, uniDfu-
enced by the efforts of Ireland's friends in
the House of Commons. The debate and the
final vote on the land bill disclosed the fact
that old party lines stillremain badly broken.
The parties in the Commons are now distin-
guished as Irish and anti-Irish in their SYM
pathies, rather than as Tories or Liberals.
Mr.. Parnell was supported in the debate by
Gladstone, Morley and Treyelyan and their
followers, as well as by the Irish contingent.
On the other hand, Harrington, an old Lib
eral of the Wing wing of the party, was
found with the Tories opposing the bill
which would relieve the tenants of part of
their obligations to their landlords. But
Mr.. Chamberlain, who would naturally
be found on the side of the ten
ants and against the landlords, was
rendered conspicuous by his absence
He doubtless did not wish to vote on the
side of the aristocratic landlords. Neither
did he wish to break with his temporary al
lies, the Tories. But the vote of 297 to 202
while it shows a large number of absent
members, III in all. does not show that the
ranks of the government supporters were Sc
riously depleted by the secession of members
who feared to give vote for the landlords
as against the tenants. The majority in the
Commons supported without serious dissent
the policy of Salisbury in refusing to give
temporary relief to the tenants. Mr.. Par
nell has predicted tumults in Ireland and
many eyictions and much suffering as the re-
suit of this government victory. In such a
case the government will naturally be drawn
into coerciye measures. A royal commission
has been appointed to study and report on
the whole Irish question but the Irish them
selves will have little confidence in its work.
1t will afford them no material and little
moral comfort, if the landlords adopt harsh
measures this winter. The indications point
to an unquiet autumn and winter; and when
Parliament assemblies again it is likely to
find that its Irish task has increased with
dalau
