The Striking Packers.

The Striking Pack
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE contract which
the packers are requiring the ex-strikers
to sign is leading already to complications,
and possibly to another general strike.
Many Of the men are yet unemployed, aud
say they will never sign such an agree
ment, and at a meeting Of the Cattle
Butchers Assembly tonight, resolutions
were adopted ~denouncing the action of
the packers, and pledging the members Of
the Assembly not to sign the obnoxious
contract. The vote was unanimous. Del
egste Barry was present. After the meet
ing he said the packers think they have
the men by the throats and propose to
tighten their grip. He claimed the men
would act as a unit regarding contracts,
exacting a money forfeit from them, and
if a new strike occurred it would mean
di~sobedience to Powderly's orders. That
contract, said Barry, is an infamous piece
of business. The men are virtually asked
to contribute So, 500, 900 to the packers to
be used in their business. They could
start a first-class cooperative packing
house with that sum. If the packers do
not recede from their present position /
am inclined to believe that District No. 81
will order q ne% strike, as it has a perfect
right te do. In case of such a strike the
district would get no support from the
general order, but would receive aid from
the local assemblies ell over the country.
The Statue AS u Beacon Light.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE question
Of lighting the Bartholdi Statue of Liberty
was officially brought to the attention of
the President to-day for the first time by
the Secretary Of the Treasury. The Presi-
dent and Secretary examined the laws
bearing on the case. and as a result, the
President directed that the matter be
placed in the hands OF the Lighthouse
Board, with a view of determining the
utility OF the statue as a beacon. Mr..
Gall, President Of the American system of
electric lighting, subsequently waited on
the Secretary Of the Lighthouse Board,
and made a proposition to light the statue
free of expense to the Government. He
was told to put his offer ia writing and it
would be considered. A member of the
Board, in speaking on the subject this
afternoon, said the main question to be
determined was, whether the electric light
was an aid or detriment to navigation.
There were many persons who held the
latter view, and it is a fact, he said, that
the electric light at He'll Gate was to be
discontinued after the first proximo, be-
cause it was regarded as dangerous to
navigation.
A New Attorney General.
SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. III was pub
licly announced here to-day that Hon.
Charles A. Buckalew, member Of Con-
gress elect from the Eleventh District,
has been rendered the Office of Attorney
General by President Cleveland. A re-
porter interviewed several of Mr.. Buck
alew's friends, one Of them q member Of
Congress that nominated him, and all
confirmed the rumor. The member Of
the conference referred to stated that Mr..
Buckalew himself had expected that the

recent election.
LATER-The press item from Scranton,
Pa, stating thatit was publicly announced
in that city to-day that the Office OF Attor-
ney General had been rendered to Hon.

ISOLATED Press reporter tonight. In
reference to it, Colonel Lamont said:
"There is nothing at all in that. There is
no vacancy in that Office" and he added
with a smile, II don't think there is
likely to be one; there 10 no basis for any
such story whatever"

tirely burned out at moor to-day. and the

goods manufacturers In the adjoining

Ara Attempt TO Poison n Family,
CHICAGO. Nov. 17.-An attempt was
made last Monday evening TO posion the
family OF P. D. Armour. A sample
package of buckwheat -four was sent to
Armour's cook. who did not use IL. as

was analysed by a chemist and found to |
contain strychnine sufficient to kill at
least IL families. One package was de-
livered to the house by q boy who said he
