THE SITUATION AT DETROIT.
A Thousand Michigan Car Shops
Mem Quit.

DETROIT, May 3.-This afternoon 1. 600
men employed in the shops of the Michigan
Car company quit work. There was no Or
ganization and there was some little con-
fusion as to their demands, but it amounts
to less work for the same pay, some want
ing nine and others eight hours work for
ten hours wages. The demand was also
made for the reinstatement of 125 men who
were discharged. A general refusal was
returned for the present. The men were
quiet at last reports.
Among the breweries there is little
change. Col. Goebell acceded to the de-
mands of the strikers last night, and this
morning Jacob Mann accepted the work
mems schedule. E. w. Voight says they
are perfectly willing to grant the demands,
but they don't propose to be dictated to by
their employees. The settlement made by
his company On Saturday was for division
of profits among the men. On the question
of this strike the German Herold had taken
a stand which was not approved by the
strikers and

ST. LOUIS, May 3.-The congressional
committee, after having heard the testimony
OF prominent business men in st. Louis Oh
Saturday, endeavored, if possible, to have
the Knights of Labor declare the strike off
in the interest of peace and business, and
hat the prosperity OF the country be re-
stored, and at the informal meeting held on
Saturday night the matter was preached by
the committee to the executive board. A
letter addressed to the board was then
drawn up and signed by all the
members OF the committee except
Mr.. Burnes. who had gone to
his home at st. Joseph. Of course, his
signature could not be offered, although he
said he was heartily in favor of the cause.
The letter was lett with Mr.. Curtin, chair
man of the committee, to deliver to Mr.
Hayes, chairman pro tenn. of the board, to
conclude the arrangements. which were
finally closed late ON Sunday night, by an
extended conference between Mr.. Curtin,
on the part of the congressional committee,
and Messrs. Hayes, Bailey and Barry, ex-
ecutive board, on the part of the Knights of
Labor. Gov. Curtin said that the result
was due in a great measure to the untiring
efforts of the executive board of the
Knights. Thus ends the greatest
railroad strike that the country has
seen since the memorable events of 1877.

THE BANOUET.

THE BANQUET.
At 7:30 o'clock last evening The visitors
were again taken to the Minnesota club
house to partake of banquet given by Mr..
A. b. Stickney, president of the Minnesota
d Northwestern railroad and member of
the club to them and to number of prom
lnent citizens of st. Paul. The tables were
spread in the club room in the second story
OF the building, and were very elaborately
decorated with products of the caterers
art. Huge center ornaments and numerous
bouquets placed here and there gave the
room a very beautiful appearance One Or
nament especially appropriate for the occa-
sion deserves particular mention. 1t was
placed directly in front of the entrance to
the dlnlng-room, so as to attract the atten-
ton of every guest. An oval base about
four feet long and half as wide and nearly
foot high, surrounded by confections and
green leaves, served the purpose of prairie
of the West. On one end, surrounded by a
low fence, was herd of half-a-dozen cat
tie in the natural color. Along one side a
white rider of white steed had cast a red
lasso over the horns of bull, while on the
other side fleet equeStrienne, backed by a
pack OF hounds, was chasing a number of
deer across the plain and over fences. Here
and there scrub trees were growing, and the
surface of the ground was covered with a
substance resembling dried grass. On two
columns over this scene was supported an
other oval, covered with gelatine dainties.
The piece was the admiration of the even
ing.
The following gentlemen were present at
the banquet: Messrs. Alloway, Auerbach,

PROFITABLY FED


here during the winter months and fatened,
/ believe it is practicable to establish a mar
ket here, otherwise l am unable to see any
basis for such a market. 1t is upon this poin t
that information is desired by our friends
from Montana, and it is upon this point we
as citizens of Minnesota would desire to hear
an expression from them. Demonstrate that
range cattle can be bought in the fall, fed by
our farmers or otherwise during the winter,
and increase their weight sufficiently that the
increased weight added to the increased price
usually obtainable in the winter and spring
will be sufficient to make satisfactory profit
to the feeder, and a market will follow easily
and naturally. If it is true, as estimate,
that the local consumption is equal to the
surplus of Montana and our own farms to-
gether, by slaughtering here this market would
have the advantage Of

equivalent to the freight both ways, viz:
from here to Chicago and from Chicago back
here, amounting to hundreds of thousands of
dollars which could be divided between the
Montana producer the feeder and the con-
sumner. Which ever way look at the prob
lem it all seems to turn upon the practical
bility of successfully feeding cattle here at
profit Upon this problem I have not had
practicable experience, and as there are
gentlemen present who have, I propose to
leave the facts and figures which go to sup
port the Affirmative of this proposition to
others. It has been usual heretofore to dis
pose of this whole question by saying, I'VE
can't raise corn" Why can't we raise corn?
Can't we plant the seed? Can't we cultivate
it! Won't our soil and oar sun make the seed
grow? Are there any physical impossibiities
about it? Not the least. The United States
census of 1860, twenty-six years ago when

raised only 100000 bushels Of wheat, shows
that we raised 5000, 900 bushels of corn, $780,

him out upon the sidewalk. 'Lynch him,
lynch him" they cried and several of their
number ran for ropes. Casey, man of
powerful frame was like an infant, hemmed
in as he was by the mob. In the ensuing
struggle he received fearful bruises and his
clothing was nearly torn from his body.
A rope was brought and one end made fast
to lamp post directly in front of W eddicks
door. AT the sight of the improvised
scaifold the mob shrieked with de-
light Casey fought with the fury of
desperation. As the crowd pressed toward
the gallows he gathered all his remaining
strength and dashing headforemost from
his assailants, jumped into the street, fol-
lowed by hundreds, who at once began
firing at him as he ran. He was soon met
by patrol wagon full of police, who, hav
ing heard of the tumult, were hurrying to
his assistance. Casey clambered into the
wagon and fell upon seat exhausted. The
wagon was surrounded in moment by his
pursuers, but at the sight of the.polcelnen's
revolvers they quickly scattered While
this was going On, Casey revived sufficiently
to point out among those who were the
last to turn one of the crowd who had been
particularly officious in bringing a rope.
The man was arrested and Immediately
driven to the station. He gave his name as
Joseph Hess.
LabOrers Locked Out.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-A very general
lockout began here to-day against the
eight-hour demands OF the unions of the
bricklayefs, hodcarriers, stonemasons,
stonerubbers, painters, plumbers and car
penters, numbering in the aggregate over
1000 men. The demands have been COM
Piled with in some instances and negotia-
tons looking to the adjustment of the diff
tlculties are under way in several others.
There has been no disturbance of the peace
and none is threatened in any quarter.
Only those employed in what are known
as the building trades are engaged in the
present controversy. Early this morning
delegations from the different assemblies
appeared at the railway depots for the pur-
pose OF intercepting any s'scabs'' from
neighboring cities who might arrive. None
were found however. It is the policy of
the leaders to keep the men off the street
and IN consequence few wOrkmen are to be
seen. Everything is quiet and orderly, and
no loud talk is to be heard at headquarters.
Many of the bosses have conceded the
eight hours, and many more would
it they were not forced to hold out by
master builders who threaten to boycott
these sub-contractors by not taking estl-
mates for work from any of them who re-
fuse to stand by them in their resistance of
the eight hour movement. Mr.. Hobbs esti-
mates the number locked out at from 1000
to 1000. A committee on the amalgama-
ton of trades met this morning and per-
fected scheme for uniting all the building
trades. The committee was appointed by
the district assembly Rights of Labor. The
working card' system was adopted. Some
of the employers, whose men are at work
to-day, assert that they are working ten
hours, but as a rule, where work is in pro-
gress it is under the eight hour system.

The day was very unfaYOrable for a long
flight, the birds encountering rain during a
good share of their journey. The distance
was the greatest ever flown by Philsdel-

few only had bayonets the soldiers car
red their powder in tin boxes and cow
horns. The horses died of starvation, and
the men harnessed themselves to trucks
and sleds, hauling wood and provisions
from storehouse to hut. AT one time there
was not ration in camp. Washington
seized the peril with strong hand and
