THE 'o.' CHOLERA"
strikers Quarrel Among Themselves and
 Indulge In 3 Free Fight.


 CHICAGO, April 2.-The Fort Wayne strik- ing freight engineers and firemen, at meet Ing Saturday night, decided not to handle burlington cars or freight under any circum- stances, and therefore, rather than have any trouble on that scdre they did not return to work to-day. The switchmen are perfectly neutral. They have not been asked to handle "Q. cars as yet, hence they have no cause to complain, but the moment they are called upon to perform that duty they will probably follow the example of the engineers and fire men. They have practically decided also that they will not work with non-Brotherhood engineers, if the road should get any to man the engines.
 We have the @ cholera" said Fort Wayne engineer, ''and we are not liable to recover from it for some time''
 The Pan Handles men have not had to handle Burlington cars as yet, but it is un- derstood they are in perfect accord with the Fort Wayne engineers. They are ready to join the Fort Wayne men if an attempt is made to force Burlington cars into their trains.
 It was generally believed that the strike on the St. Paul road would involve. the entire system, and would include all the engineers, firemen switchmen and brakemen employed by the company Such, however, did not prove to be the case, because most of the engineers and fremen at this end of the line remained loyal to the company.
 Saturday the St Paul strikers appointed committee to submit to Mr. Earling, the local manager, proposition to the effect that the men would return to work upon the condition that the company decline to accept~'Q" freight pending the settlement of the Bur- lington strike, or until the Chicago and Northwestern accepted it. The proposition also provided that all of the strikers be taken back. After consultation with the local officers MT. Earring telegraphed to General Manager Roswell Miller, of Milwaukee, for an answer.
 MT. Earling declined to divulge the answer returned by Mir. Miller. The company's de- cision as telegraphed from Milwaukee was given to the committee about 6 o'clock and at 7:3O special mass meeting was held to take action. The meeting was stormy one. The company's ultimatum was rejected and a general row ensued. The switchmen accused the engineers of treachery and cowardice. A passenger engineer made speech defending himself, and was knocked down and brutally beaten For time free fight was immi- nent. The more conservative men left the hall in disgust. The meeting adjourned at midnight without coming to any conclusion. The St. Paul strike is evidently ended.

MORE PACKER VISITORS.

Mr. E. T. Swift, of the Swift & Co. pack
ing houses at Chicago and Kansas City,
accompanied by Mr.. I. p. Newcomer and
Mr. Richard FITZGERALD, of the same COM
pany, spent the day in Wichita yesterday.
They spent the entire forenoon at the
packing house and around the stock yards.
After dinner they went to the board of
trade rooms, where they were met by the
president and soma other officers, who put
in the afternoon driving them about
the city to view our various manufacture
ing and other prominent interests. OF
course it was the packing interests which
brought them here. They expressed
no particular surprise at the num-
Der of cattle and hogs on our
market, as they were well posted
as to our location with reference
to these, and also as to Wichita's
superior railway facilities. but they could
not disguise their surprise at the magni-
tude of the Dold plant and over the i'm
mense foundations going in for Whitaker
of ST. Louis. The Swifts are more especi-
ally interested in the dressed beef trade,
being one OF the "big four and receiving
a large per cent of their cattle from Texas
and the Territory, which are fed at the
Wichita yards Mr.. Swift conceded that
he could see no reason why Wichita should
not be, in the near future, one of the
largest packing centers in the country,
that while in the line of hogs she was I'M
doubtedly creating q sensation, that her
prospects as to dressed beef were even
more favorable if such thing were pos
sible.

state or states wherein the constitutional
authority of the United States shall not then
be practically recognized, submitted TO and
maintained shall then, thenceforward and
forever be free"
OF the cabinet proceedings which followed
the reading OF. this momentous document we
have unfortunately only very brief memo
randa. Every member of the council was,
we may infer, bewildered by the magnitude
and boldness Of the proposal. The sudden
consideration of this critical question reveals
to US with vividpess the difference in mental
reach, readiness and decision between the
president and his constitutional advisers.
Only two of the number gave the measure
their unreserved concurrence, even after
discussion. 1t is strange that one Of these
was the cautious attorney general, the rep
resentative of the conservative faction Of the
slave holding state Of Missouri, and that the
member who opposed the measure as whole,
and proposed to achieve the result indirectly
through the scattered and divided action Of
local commanders in military departments,
was the anti-slavery secretary OF tie treas
ury, Mr.. Chase, representing perhaps more
nearly than any other the abolition faction
of the free state of Ohio. All were aston
ished except the two to whom ft bad been
mentioned week before. None Of the others
had even considered such step. But from
the mind and will Of President Lincoln the
determination and announcement 70 his
cabinet came almost as complete in form and
certain in intention on that memorable Tues
day Of July as when, two months later, il WAS
given TO the public, or as officially proclaimed
on the succeeding New Years day, an irre-
vocable executive act.-Century.

CHRISTMAS AT THE CHILDREN'S HOME,
II9 PENN. AVE.

Could you have been at the home Christ
mas evening it certainly would have made
your heart glad to see the happiness of
those twenty orphan children under the
splendid discipline and care Of their
worthy matron. Through the kindness of
several of the young ladies Of the neigh
borhood large number of presents had
been solicited and in the evening were
placed upon long low table in the center
of one OF the large rooms at the home. The
children were then brought in and seated
around the table at a proper distance from
it, and as their names were called off by
the young ladies they arose to receive their
presents-dolls, candies, nuts and toys OF
every description. When the presents
We're all distributed from the table a merry
singing was heard on the outside; the door
was opened and fourteen little girls
marched in singing Christmas greeting
followed by Santa Claus loaded with pres
ents. After the presents were handed out
by Santa Claus the matron had the child
rem of the home sing two or three songs;
the last song was the Lords prayer, sung
by both the visiting children and the
children of the home. Then their presents
were all placed upon the table until morn
ing and they each shook hands with Santa
Clause and promised to be good boys and
girls until he came back again next year,
and then marched to their sleeping rooms
to dream of Santa Claus and his many nice
presents. Motherless and fatherless but
not friendless, they will some day bless
those who care for them now.

A BUILDING SCHEME.

One OF the leading property owners on
Douglas avenue, and who, by the way,
lives in the Fourth ward, when tackled for
his mind yesterday, said: ooh, yes, have
a good one for you-have been thinking
about putting you on for some time, but
don't be alarmed it will keep. No danger
of it spelling. Without any delay, it's a
building scheme and will come very near
the center of the business part of town. A
half dozen fellows who own lots together
are figuring on an immense building. 1t
and according to estimates already made
will cost not less than $780, 900. The boys
want to put up the finest block in the
state; marble front would be mild
for them-fve or six stories high
and four or FIVE American flags
on top. To be serious, now,
l think they will put up a magnificent
building and by the way one of the largest
fire insurance companies in the country
wants to make loan on five of the lots of
the half block at 6 per cent. They are
anxious TO put on a loan of Sl00.0G1 on
those five lots at that small rate of inter
est That tells another very interesting
fact. When such companies want to make
such loan as that they are moderately
well satisfied that the city is all right and
is going to continue in its rapid growth.
I see and yes / think this will yet be IN
derheadway by spring and next summer
we will see another block built that will
rival eastern cities.

LlNCOLN'S PROCLAMATION.

Original Draft of the Document DecIar-
Ing the Slaves Free.
Further conference (by the cabinet was
held on organizing negro regiments, but
Lincoln decided that the moment had not yet
arrived when this policy could be safely
entered upon Writes Chase: 1.-The i'm
preston left upon my mind by the whole dis
cussion was that while the president thought
that the organization, equipment and arm
ing of negroes like other soldiers would be
productive of more evil than good, he was
not unwilling that commanders should, at
their discretion, arm, for purely defensive
purposes, slaves coming within their lines.
But on the kindred policy of emancipation
the president had reached decision which
appears to have been in advance Of the views
of his entire cabinet. Probably, greatly to
their surprise, be read to them the following
draft of proclamation warning the rebels Of
the pains and penalties Of the confscation
act, and while renewing his tender
