MCCORMACK WORKS RESUME
WORK

CHICAGO, March 1.-The Mccormack reaper
works resumed operations this morning, one hun
dred and fifty men reporting for duty. Great crowds
were in the vicinity Of the works early in the morn
ing. To their presence is ascribed the fact that
larger number did not apply for work through
fear of intimidation, large force of police were
on hand to preserve order, and arrested three or
four who were noisy aggressive The locked out
men are to hold mass meeting this morning near
the works.
In five minutes after the gates opened there were
according to Mr.. McCormack's count $50 men at
work in the various departments. Superintendent
Averill said number of men had refrained from
returning owing TO having received threatening
notes last night. by tomorrow he expected the
works would be In full operation Mr. Mccormack
opened the yards in person and declared he would
not shut down now II he had but dozen men to
do the work.
just upon opening the gates those not intending
to apply for work made slight opposition to
those about to enter the works, but dispersed pre-
cipitatey upon the movement in their direction Of
the police. After the first dispersal of the men
they began assembling again in little groups in the
neighboring streets. and when requested to "move
on they refused and about twenty were put into a
patrol wagon and taken to Hinman street station
where they were fined S5 each. Fifty men had
gathered in front of 1867 Blue Island avenue, but
none were very belgerent, except Stavirfef Ger
der, who is described as ring leader lie got up
on door step and shouted in Polish "now is the
time to act, every his pistol, and let us live
or die for the cause" Officer Marks was standing
by; he is familiar with the Polish language, and
when he heard the incendiary outburst he grabbed
Gerder and took him to the station, and when he
WAS searched there 38-caibre revolver was found
in his possession The reaper works are distant
from the court five miles, but tho police headQuar
ters were kept fully advised of the situation.
Chief of police EbersOld was seen this morning
and said, "although am not apprehenaive of any
serious trouble, still am prepared for the receipt
of the very worst Of news from the Mccormack
quarters, and, from the reports, am constrained
to believe the day will pass quietly by without any
outbreak or disturbance of any nature. have an
lt.Na
stiles and have arranged matters that within an
hour from the time an alarm Is given / can swarm
the Mccormack premises with police"
At 10 o'clock about 500 of the locked out men
| formed procession, headed by brass band, and
started for the workingmen's hail. at the corner of
Twelfth and Waller streets, to a meeting there.

INDIGNATION AT SALM'S ACTION.
Special Telegram to The Statesman.
BRUEGGERroFF, March 1.-For the greater part of
last week we had nearly continuous light rains and
a good growing tire for wheat. Oats, it may he
said. have scarcely germinated yet, but will now
start under most favorable conditions The tend
ency has been to rather increase this crop this year
than otherwise. The initiatory step has already
been takenin corn-p planting. Cotton will continue
to hold its own in the universal favor of farmers,
notwithstanding the experience of the past onght
to retire it sufficiently far towards the other end of
the list of crops to entitle II to merely surplus
production of the farm, When this judgment is
reached and adopted in practice by those who hold
the natural wealth of this state in their hands,
then, and not till then, will our state enter upon
that era of business prosperity 80 reasonably and
ardently hoped for.
Is there not manhood enough in Austin to
avenge the wrong of poor Clara Hill, should its

RAILWAY APPOINTMENT - INDE-
PENDENCE DAY "A WHARF
MYSTERY.
Special Telegram to the Statesman

GALVESTON, March 2.-General Manager Web
ster Snyder, of the Gulf, Colorado Il Santa Fe
railroad, is out In an official circular to-day, ap-
pointing Mr.. j 5. CarI general passenger agent,
to take effect Immediately. Owing to the large in
of mileage during the past year, and largely
increased business, it was found impracticable to
contlne the duties of two such important offices as
general freight agent and general passenger agent
under one head Mr.. w. H. Masters remains gem
eral freight agent. Mr.. Cark arrived in the city
yesterday. He comes highly recommended by
railroad managers, and was formerly general
freight and passenger agent Of the st. Louis Air
Line. He is also president of the General Pas
senger Agents association of the United States,
which speaks volumes for his popularity.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe road, called for to-day,
did not take place, owing to no quorum being pres
ent. General Manager Snyder and General
Freight Agent Masters, together with Traffic Man
ager Murray, of the Missouri Pacific, left for New
Orleans this morning to attend a rate meeting of
the Texas Traffic association.
Business in the supreme court chambers and
other courts of the city was suspended to-day in
observance of the declaration of Texas independ-
ence The Galveston artillery saluted the eventful
day with thirteen guns at sunrise. The courts pub
lie schools and few banks are about the only in
shtutions that recognized the semi-centennial OF
Texas Independence. No patriotic flags were un'
furled to The breeze, and the numerous consular
flags so conspicuous by their presence on certain
prominent business houses whenever some royal
panper is born dies, stubbornly refused to fly in
commemoration of the birthday of the plebian
giant, Texas.
At an early hour this morning, Night Inspector
John Pentony heard cry for help In the vicinity
of Labade's wharf. Fastening to the wharf, he
was searching among boxes, when suddenly the
cry was repeater, this time from the water below.
The inspector ran to the edge of the wharf, and by
the rays of his bull's-eye lantern caught mo-
ment's sight of some unfortunate man, who, with
arms thrust out was just sinking for the last time.
Search for the body was carried on to-day, but
without success. There is no clue to the identity
of the man.

GREENsBURs, Pa, March saturday evening,
Grapeyille, q small town on the pike, about four
miles west of this place, WAS the scene OF one OF
the boldest robberies ever committed in this

THE STRIKE.
MIN NED-UP STATE OF AF-
FAIRS ON THE TEXAS
PACIFIC.
NEW AND IMPORTANT APPOINT
MENT ON THE SANTA FE-
TEXAS ITEMS.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.

FORT WORTH, March 2-The one subject of
conversation among all classes is the strike, The
yards of the Missouri Pacific and Texas Pacific are
deserted, with the exception of two or three me n,
who, however, find their occupations gone. Yard
master Judy succeeded in getting out two through
freight trains to-day, and third train, made up
chiefly of empty cars. The strikers offered no OPP
position to this move. When the order came to
the knights of Labor in Assembly No. 101 to "go
out, they went al once, and, soon possible,
gave notice To the telegraph operators to the num-
Der OF ten, who are at work in the relay office that
all knights engaged in railroad work were ex-
pected to leave their work. Whereupon, the man
ager and all operators but one, closed their keys.
The operators say they have no grievances of their
own at this time but the allegiance due by them
to the order, left them no other course but to stand
by their bretheren The general impression was
that while freight traffic might be blocked, passen
ger trains would continue to 90 through, and the
express companies would be able to fill the urgent
necessities of merchants for certain articles, but
when it Is known that the section men are in the
strike and are out to man, and the further fact
is considered that the constant rains for the past
few days have put the track and roadbed in bad
condition in many places, it will be seen that it
will soon be hazardous to attempt to run passen-
ger trains. Under the existing state of affairs the
railroad officials receive no freight Superintend
ent Littleheld arrived here tonight from Marshall,
with five telegraph operators to take the places of
those who are out One through freight train was
permitted to 90 south on the Missouri Pacific to-
night. Governor Brown, one of the receivers, has
sent word here that the men must go back to work
Thursday or all would be discharged. At the Mar
shall and Big Springs ends of the divisions the
men are all ont, At other points they have not
