War will Probably be Opened on the
 Entire Burlington System.

CHICAGO, July 24.-The Grievance Com mittee of the Brotherhood of Engineers will meet again to-day to hear further reports from the balloting of the %" strikers. It is expected the canvass will be completed by the middle of the week. Quite & large number of the strikers left last night to attend the meet ing of engineers, firemen and switchmen to be held at St. Joseph, Mo-, tomorrow. The meeting is expected to be tho largest assem- ply of working railroad men ever known in this country. All the great railroad lines of the States and Canada will be represented.
 The meeting was called to consider the Bur- Hngton strike. It is believed from statements made from the various Brotherhood men that the St. Joe meeting may develop into the pre- liminary step toward a general boycott being ordered against the "Q" road on August l, date on which the heavy crop of the States penetrated by the 70" system will be ready for transfer to market.
 MCCooK, Neb. July 24.-Hoge and Murphy were here yesterday and canvassed the sub ject of calling the strike off.

It is understood that the sem timent has been practically unanimous along the route for a continuance of the strike. Several Brotherhood men here went to St. Joe last night to attend a large meeting at that point.
 QUINcy, H., July 24.-Some of the striking 70" engineers and fremen are seeking em- ployment in other places. The Famous Manu- featuring Company, manufacturers of hay presses, put on a night force of about thirty men last night, composed almost entirely of striking railroad men.

THE JACKSON ELECTION CASE.
Majority Report Submitted to the Senate
 Charges of Intimidation.

Majority Report Submitted to the Senate.
 Charges of Intimidation.
 WASHINGTON, July 24-The ma ajority re- port of the senate judiciary committee which investigated the Jackson, Miss, municipal election was presented in the senate. The committee in their report reach the conclu- sion that the entire colored vote of Jackson was suppressed at the last municipal election by intimidation, and that the deputy United States marshal, the United States district attorney and deputy collector of internal revenue in that section participated and in some degree aided in the suppression of the colored vote. The majority in their report say that the city government of Jackson had not been under control of the Democrats from 1874 to 1888, period of fourteen years; but the city had been getting on quite we'll all that time, paying its debt, reducing its tax rate, establishing its credit and improv- ing its streets.
 These things, the majority say, did not constitute the basis of the complaint sounded by the White Leaguers, who determined upon a change Of municipal rule. It was claimed that Mississippi was a Democratic state, and it was affirmed to be a reproach upon the capital city of such a state to have allowed the Republicans to control municipal affairs for so many years There was but one reason for this long continued Repub- lican control; majority of the voters of the city had so willed it, and change could be effected only by suppression of the colored vote of the city. The fears of the colored voters were played upon systematically; in dammatory articles were published, and the result was intimidation and the entire sup pression of the colored vote at the municipal election of January, 1888.
 The majority also mention Charles Lem ley, recently nominated by the president as postmaster for Jackson, one of those who participated in this wholesale suppression of colored votes In concluding the committee submit resolutions for adoption by the sen- ate, in which they express condemnation of the conduct of the United States officers who participated or aided in the suppression ot the colored vote, and say they should be dis missed from the service as soon as authentic knowledge of such conduct is brought to the | president.
 The resolutions also declare that a copy oi the report and of the testimony upon whict it is based should be sent to President Cleye l
