STRIKING PACKERS.
Opinion OF NIr. Barry, OF the Arbitra-
ton Com mittee.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-D, legate Barry was seen
by Daily News reporter at noon to-day and
said: 1.-THE men have their minds set upon
the eight hour rule and will agree to nothing
else. We made proposition to the packers
that their eight hour run and the hour men
will agree to work all the over time necessary.
This will be practically a recognition Of the
eight hour question aud will be accepted by
the men," The packers submitted propo
sltion that the men work and be paid BY
hours, but this will not be accepted, as the
men are afraid the system will work to their
disadvantage, and If the packers desire to do
so they can give them only an hour or two
hours work day. proposed meeting with
the packers at the Board of Trade. Should
they not meet me will take other means to
effect a settlement, for this thing must be
fixed up quickly, as 1t Is all nonsense for
Armour to suppose that bis beef butchers will
work under the circumstances by which they
are now surrounded. II l find that things
are as sometimes suspect they are, and that
the packers are playing waiting game, l will
take more energetic measures at once and on
my return to Richmond shall tell the Knights
there that Armours beef is not as good as it
used to be, and we shall see how the opinions
of 2,0C0, eco men throughout the country will
effect the trade.
The conference Messrs. Barry and Butler in
tended to have this evening with the packers
was not he'd. The packers could not be got
together. Barry when questioned to-nigh said
negotiations for settlement were
still pending, aud conclusion
might be reached to-day. He said the
matter would be brought to the notice Of the
Richmond convention, with which body he
was in daily communication.

LABOR TROUBLES.
Condition OF the Strikes In Chicago and
Minneapolis,

CHICAGO Oct lS.-An is quiet at the stock
yards. About $50 men are at work in Armour's
houses, but no killing is done Preparations
were made last week TO start up in all depart
ments to-day with imported men. In Swift's
and Morris houses the men are at work, con
trary to reports. There is a probability that
they will not be disturbed so long as they
work independently OF the other packers. Del
egatc Barry, Of the Knights of Labor, left the
city Saturday night. 1t is understood Pinker
toms force Is being recruited and that 1t will
be largely increased. New men to take the
places of the strikers are arriving in large
numbers.
Messrs. Butler aud Barry, the X. Of L. dele
gates, had conference Saturday with Samuel
Alerton, Sidney Kubard and Michael Cuda-
hey, Of the packers association, the latter
representing p. ID, Armour. The conference
was a pleasant one. Mr.. Allerton said the
packers had tried the s hour system long
enough to be thoroughly convinced that 1t
was failure. They were now resolved to
have ten hours or nothing. The delegates
were informed that all the packing houses
would start up on Monday with new men, and
by Saturday 1t was expected that a full force
would be at work. II the strikers did
not report for work on Monday they
would not be taken back, as the packers
would continue with the new men who had
stood by them In their extremity. Tonight the
stock yards were cleared OF outsiders, no one
being admitted unless known or In possession
of credentials. The force Of guards has been
increased, and all parts Of the yard are care
fully watched.
MINNEAPoLIs. Oct. 1S-There Is no mater
ial change in the status Of the switchmen's
strike. No further disturbances have been
reported since Friday night. No freight is
moving in any of the yards except the Chica.
90, Milwaukee & st. Paul. A large force Of
special police Is maintained. A meeting Of
the jobbers' union was called Saturday after
noon, the result Of which requested all the
parties concerned In the strike to return to
work at once and that both railroads and men
shall agree to arbtrate the difficulty. The
railroad managers have thus tar refused TO
treat with any except their own men person
ally. The business men here are now deter
mined to try to stop the strike. which is
iniuring bust ness.

THE STRIKE SETTLED.
The Contest for Eight Hours Given Up
by the Strikers:

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-The great strike of the
stock yards was brought to an abrupt close
yesterday afternoon when the strikers resolved
to give up the fight for the eight hour day.
and accepted the terms Of the packers. This
decision was reached at mass meeting held
in Germany hall late yesterday afternoon. 1t
was not the result Of spontaneous action on
the part Of the strikers, but it had to be forced
upon them by Delegates Barry and Butler
who were acting under instructions from the
general executive committee Of X. of J..
Barry called the meeting only after he had
consulted with the local leaders of the strikers
and had thoroughly instructed them in this
policy, hence when the men attended this
meeting 1t was not difficult to convince them
that their interests would be best subserved
by returning to work on the basis of ten
hours day. At first some of the men were
inclined to rebel against the proposition
but after learning the reasons given
by Barry they agreed to give up the fight.
Barry showed the strikers that the packing
houses would soon be filed with new men,
who 10 short time would become expert in
the business. The packers would stand by
them, aud in consequence the strikers would
lose their chance to make living. Other speak
ers supported Barry by strong arguments, and
the strikers voted unanimously to return to
work to-day, making single condition, how
ever, that Armour's beef packers should work
eight hours as long as Morris & Swift main.
tanned that rule for their men. Immediately
after the close of the meeting Barry visited
Armour and stated TO him the result Of the
meeting. Armour said IT was satisfactory, and
that his old employees would be taken back
upon application. He said, however, that the
men brought to his houses from other cities
would be retained as long as they prove effici

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.
Both Sides still Determined and Re-
fuse 10 Compr omise.

CHICAGO, Oct 13.-The general condition Of
affairs at the packing houses are unchanged
The strikers remain in the vicinity OF the
yards but cause no disturbance Their force
has been increased by 10 employees of the
Union Stock Yards and Transportation Co.,
who have taken the present opportunity of
making an e!ght-hour working day. Twenty
five of the iiremen employed by Armour quit
yesterday, but the beef men and small
force OF pork packers did not quit till evening
The committee OF the General Assembly Of
the Knights Of Labor are endeavorlng to affect
compromise on the basis Of nine hours
work and ten hours pay, aud II the strikers
make any concession 1t VIII be In accordance
with tho first named suggestion. But even
though the committee may affect a c0mpro'
mise Of this character, II is regarded as ques
ton whether the men viii consent to return to
work on any basis other than eight hours
THE men," said a local Knight OF Labor to-
day, "are all determined to work only eight
hours, and the packers are just as determined
10 work ten. 1t is not question OF wages
and whether It may be compromise on ba-
sis of nine hours work. / think that 1t is a
trine doubtful at any rate that any such com
promise will only be the result OF long consd-
Grafton and many conferences and cannot be
expected in q day."

THE GULF STORM.
Twelve Hundred Persons Rendered
Desolute by the Tempest,

GALVESTON, Oct. l9-The following special
% the Associated Press from Orange, Texas,
gives the latest news regarding the great
disaster at Johnson's bayou and Sabine Pass:
Steamer Emily p, returned at 3 O'Clock Sun
day afternoon, bringing 100 additional suffer
ers from Johnson's bayou who are entirely
destitute Of everything that is necessary TO
sustain life. They were received at the wharf
by our relief committees who are doing all in
their power to make them comfortable Most
of them are women and children. The steamer
will return to the bayou Immediately to bring
back $50 more persons who are waiting
There are some who are now homeless, penni-
less and without clothing. We now have
taken care Of 2l0 persons from that section.
Nothing has SO affected this city in many
years as the finale particulars of the terrible
disaster at Sabine Pass and Johnson's Bayou.
Hundreds of Galvestonians have near friends
or relatives among the lost and desOlute
refugees, and the disaster comes home to
them with keen anguish. A meeting was held
last night at which a committee to solicit relief
was appointed. The committee collected 49,
COO Sunday and large quantities OF clothing,
food and household necessities.
GALVESTON, Oct. 19.-The committee who
left here Saturday night on the tug boat Es-
telle returned at a late hour Sunday night,
having distributed 200 worth of PROVISIONS
for the sufferers at Sabine Pass and Johnson's
Bayou. The committee ascertained that the
total number of persons who lost their lives
was 1O2. Only 81 bodies have thus far been
recovered.
BEAUMONT, Texas, Oct. 19.-Refugees from
the Hooded district about Sabine Pass continue
to arrive on every small craft that comes up
the river 1t is estimated by persons here who
have been over the scenes of the devastation
at Sabine Pass, johnson Bayou and Taylor's
Bayou that the death list W II exceed $50 souls.
Eighty-fiye corpses have been recovered and
buried around Johnson's Bayou, and 81 bodies
thus far have been buried at Sabine Pass and
&c persons are still missing at Sabine Pass, and
these of course are dead, as it would be i'm
possible for any human being to survive this
long in the swamps and lagoons without food
or shelter. The carcasses Of thousands of
drowned cattle are strewn everywhere. 1t Is
known that the number Of sufferers around

COSTLY CATTLE DRIVE.
Great Loss Sustained by the Cattle
Men OF Montana.

WALLA WALLA, w. T., Oct. IA cattle
man, just returned from northern Montana,
states that the Westinghouse drive Of cattle
from this county to British Columbia has
proved failure to the st. Louis syndicate, Of
which Neidringhause is a member. For q
time the drive, consisting Of 10000 head OF
cattle, prospered finely, but as the unusually
dry season in Montana progressed, grass be-
came scarce, and streams Of water fewer and
farther between. The stock began to weaken
and fall by the wayside, and as the days pass
ed by, food became scarccr, and the animals
died by hundreds. The herders even suf-
fered great prlvatlons for water, and so des-
perate did the situation become when nearing
the British line that Westinghouse ordered the
drive abandoned and the herlers 10 reach the
Northern Pacific railway as best they could.
The scene about the drive was most ptiful
one The cattle were reduced to skin and
bone, and so weakened by fatigue and want Of
nourshment that they would stand still till
they fell In their tracks to die. Their moan
ing and believing were fearful to hear. A
cold, dry piercing wind which was sweeping
over the country did much TO complicate the
situation. Cattle men are of the opinion that
the syndicate would not have 300 head left
out OF the immense herd driven to this coun-
try. Their loss In this ease VIII reach $3.50 600.
