Democratic Schemers Not Pleased
at Being Discovered.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The Democratic
managers have been thrown into state of
mingled amazement and dismay today by the
exposure of their renewed plot to capture
the House. They seem to have agreed to
keep matters at standstill for few hours,
hoping that the storm would blow over. The
two classes of conspirators are Southern
Congressman and Democratic officials of the
House. The four districts selected by the
conspirators are the second Louisiana, sec
ond North Carolina, third Tennessee and
fourth Maryland. The special agent Of the
Democratic conspirators is still in New Or
leans, but he has been inactive for twenty
four hours. No action will be taken in the
North Carolina district until Thursday Of
next week. when the State canvassing
board meets. The Governor of Maryland
still refuses to issue certificates to the elect
ed congressman, and is evidently still wait
ing for some excuse to give certificate to
Rayner, the defeated Democratic candidate
in the fourth district.

STRIKING swITcHMEN.
Serious Trouble In the Railroad Yards
at IndianapoIIs,

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-The strike of
railroad switchmen is taking on an ugly
phase. Not a single switch engine In the
city was moved today. and in the freight
yards every thing is in confusion. The
morning train were abandoned half made up
or not made up at all. In several places, en-:
gineers and fremen, or other employees of
the roads, were pressed into service and
tried to go on with the work, but the strikers
interfered and prevented the departure of
trains. Although some attempt to block all
the tracks and 0bstruct the progress Of the
men who desired to work was exhibited,
there was only one instance Of positive
violence. A serious phase Of the strike Is
that the engineers and fremen are in close
sympathy with the switchmen and make no
attempt TO man the engines. In nearly every
instance, they have quit work, and run their
engines into the round house and drawn the
fires when the switchmen requested Ii. This
adds much to the complication of the matter.
The switehmen may be replaced by in
experienced men and traffic resumed in a
short time provided the engineers and fire.
