M The Chicago Stock Yards Strike.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Everything was quiet
at the stock yards this morning. A few Of
the packing houses are open. and running in
a small way, but there has been no general
resumption of work. The yards are filled
with workmen but there has been no recur-
renee of the disturbances Of yesterday. :.
A few more men were taken to work in
the various packing houses this morning
and the rain kept unemployed crowds that
all day yesterday hung around inside, The
beef butchers will accept the inevitable, and
will, it is thought, return to work on the
ten-hour basis Hogs are beginning to
arrive and are in active demand. Armour q
Co. will commence to kill right away, and
by the last of the week will need full force.
Fowler Brothers and the Anglo-American
Company's houses will be day or two later,
but it is safe to say that by the first OF next
week the great majority Of the men will once
more be at work.
Another batch of non-union workmen
were sent into the city today by a special
train under the guard of 100 Pinkerton de-
tectives. There was no disturbance of any
kind. 1t is thought that all the union men
will have left the stockyards by the end of
the week.

trade of ours which all the nations of
Europe want to get share of.
Mr.. Blaine then spoke of the competition to
skilled labor of the North which would likely
be found in rapidly growing tendency of the
negro in the South to enter the field of skill
ed mechanics at wages much lower than was
paid for the same work in the North, and
said the way to correct this was to insist that
that the rights of the negro be maintained
in the South; that he be allowed to vote as
he wished, in which case there would be no
danger of free trade legislation, for the col
ored voters would be in a large majority.
He also claimed that if the negro is not al
lowed to vote the basis of representation in
the South should be changed, as the basis of
representation was founded on enf-anchise-
ment of the negro.
Mr.. Blaine went into the Southern ques-
tion at great length, and aroused intense en-
thusiasm by his tribute to Gen. Beaver, with
which he closed his remarks.
At the conclusion of his address Mr.. Blaine
was driven to the Monongahela House, where
he was joined by his son James G. Blaine,
Jr. and wife. The evening was devoted to
an informal reception.
Tomorrow Mr.. Blaine leaves for trip up
the Monongahela river to his old home at
Brownville. He expects to go to West V1r-
ginia on business, and will return here Fri
day. passing through the city ON his way

A Gloomy Outlook.
EAsTPoRT, Oct. 2O.-The situation here is
still very grave. From sixty to seventy fam
lilies are in the most helpless poverty. The
town is 100000 in debt, $4,000 for the hotel
now in ruins. AT least one-half, and some
say two-thirds, of the taxable property of
the town is gone, and the town itself is at
the mercy of the insurance companies. The
town cannot support $50 to 500 people this
winter. The building of houses and stores
will call for a class of skilled labor that is
not in the town.
Factory No. 8 of the Eagle Company will
start Immediately, but it will give employ
ment to only about Go persons, and to those
only for the rest of the season. Many of the
destitute have not yet applied for aid. The
factories will be rebuilt, but Capen will
build out of town. Mr.. Wolff will rebuild
with iron if at all. He will not rebuild if
the nest of wooden fre-traps is to be allowed
to be rebuilt. 1t must be iron and brick this
time. A decision of the Gamers not to re-
build would be fatal to Eastport. The sar-
dine business is the life of the place. But
the town is at the mercy of the insurance
men; if they refuse to take risks or make
bad rates, or insist upon water supply and
an effective fire department. or the universal
rebuilding in brick or iron. the town will be
helpless. The merchants can only build
stores Of temporary kind this fall They
must have immediate insurance ON their
stock. 1t is now admitted ON all sides that
it has only been with the greatest difficulty
that insurance has been obtained in the past.
Eastport people haven't been able to pick or
choose; they have been only too glad to get
any insurance that they could.
