Strikers Shot Down.

A special train was made up 1.-THE Union
Stock Yards, few days sine, to convey a
hundred discharged Pinkerton men back to
Chicago, it having been decided to dis

day. AS the men filed mo the cars they
were greeted with yells Of dersion by
crowds of strikers and Their sympathizers,
who surrounded the tracks. AS the train
started the crowd yelled and threw stones
at the cars. The same scene occurred at

sent to the Chicago authorities, and upon
the arrival of the train lot of Pinkeron
men, together with some forty non union
men and workmen, who were at the train,
were arrested, and they were all locked up
in the Harrison street station. From later
accounts. it appears that the shooting was
not confined to one man, but that all the
Pinkerton men joined in the fusilade when
the train passed through the crowd. At
Halstead street the men We're again greeted
with jeers, when a stout man in Pinkerton
uniform stepped out on the back platform
and fired his revolver into the crowd. This
was the signal for general volley. Eff

their rifles from the car windows, and fully
thirty shots were fired. Vim. Pinkerton

Defending Live Stock Interests

John B. Sherman, Vice President and
General Manager of the Union Stock
Yards, Chicago, has issued the following
card to the public: In view Of the contin-
ued statements and rumors appearing in
Eastern prints TO the effect that cattle and
dressed beef shipped out Of the Union
Stock Yards of Chicago are diseased and
unfit for food. ] desire, in the interests of
beef consumers generally, in the interests
of the yards, and in the interests of the
cattle-growing industry of the great West,
to publicly denounce all such statements
and ru,ncrs, from whatever source they
may come, as unqualiiedly false. For
many years the Health Department of the
city of Chicago has maintained Mt these
yards rigid inspection of live stock and
live stock products; for many years, also,
these yards have been patrolled by an Off
Ger OF the State, charged with the duty of
enforcing good care, sufficient feeding and
humane treatment Of our live stock. Ev-
erything that human ingenuity could de-
wise has been done to render our live stock
healthy and its products pure, and I know
our cattle were never healthier than thew
are now, and have been throughout this
season. Tie Chicago distilleries are ten
miles from these yards, and no one claims
there is any disease here"

The Treaty With Spain.

The attention of one of the principal
officials of the State Department has been
called to the recent cable dispatches from
Europe, in which the statement was made
that the Spanish Government contemplated
reprisals on account Of the proclamation of
the President by which the discriminating
duties against Spain are to be re-estab-
lished. This official said There is nothing
in the story of Spanish reprisals. There is
not even cause for irritation, much less for
anything more serious. There is only a
difference in the construction Of the treaty.
Our construction was fixed by statute. The
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs con-
strued the treaty as we did, but the Spanish
Minister for Colonial Affairs differed from
Lin. and his construction is the one which
the Spanish Cabinet has adopted. The
Spanish ship owners suffer as ours do, and
/ am quite confident that the Interpretation
given to the treaty by our State Depart
nlent will be the one which will prevail, and
that within a comparatively short period
Spain will accept it.

SMALLPOX Epidemic Feared

Smallpox has broken out again at Tren-
ton, Ontario, small town on line of
railroad between Toronto and Montreal.
There was a smallpox epidemic at Tren
ton short time ago, and it is feared the
disease may again spread with the same
rapidity which characterized the former
outbreak. The disease first made its APP
pearance in the family Of seamstress,
and it is feared the contagion has been
spread among large number of families
for whom she worked. There was a
regular panic in the town among the people
she served when the facts Of the case We're
made known.

Since the discovery of the petrifed re-

relatives have several times been prevailed
upon to allow the body to be disinterred
and exposed several days i'll order that those
who desire could have an opportunity of
seeing the strange transformation. The
friends disapproved of such action all
along until just recently, when they finally
consented to have the body taken up again
on condition that a stone vault be pro-
vided for its reception. 1t is understood
that there is movement on foot to raise
the necessary funds for this purpose.

Basemore woke up the nighborhood and
announced that Thomas had died of the

found standing up against an clubhouse in

fact that during the night Basemore passed
a rope around the sleeping mans neck and
choked him to death, finally hitting him on
the head with a hoe to finish the Job. He
then dragged the body out into the yard.

pleuro Pneumonia in Chicago.

DR.. A. j. Murray, of Detroit, who was in
charge Of the United States Bureau of Ami
mai Industry at Chicago during the pleuro-
pneumonia investigation, has returned. He
says that not half the truth has been told
about the pleuro- pneumonia troubles in
Chicago; that the stock yards people have
great influence with the press and the tele-
graphic news associations, and did their
best to keep things quiet for fear Of iniur-
ing their business. Chicago, DR.. Murray
says, is filed with terrible cattle plague,
and although not recognized or ackrowl-
edged to be such until month ago, it has,
as matter of fact, been virulent there for
two years. DR.. Murray says the talk of the
disease having originated through the feed
given to cattle in the Phoenix Dist,llery is
nonsense. In New Orleans and other
cities, where the conditions in the uistillery
stables are just rs bad, if not worse. there
is no trace Of the disease. The first cattle
that suffered were those of Mrs. Kelly,
that were i'll the Phoenix Distillery. He is
OF the OPINION that the disease was brought
into the city from outside, and when he
was there it had extended from the north
ern boundary to within two miles of the
south boundary. In fact, it is safe to say

general strike in case the operators refused
the advance, there was almost a unnni-

seven, one from each colliery, was APP
pointed to notify the mino officials of this
action. In case strike should be ordered
5000 hands will be affected by it.
