CmcAeo, April l.-strike following
strike in rapid succession was the result
Yesterday OF the Burlington's first at
tempt to resume forcing freight on the
other roads. Almost at the very outset
n strike occurred on the Fort Wayne
system, involving for the first time, an
undoubted extension Of the trouble to
the roads leading east from Chicago. 4
leading western line, the Milwaukee &
ST Paul. had been completely tied up
between midnight and daylight, and
Chairman Hoge, the leader, in the ab.
sence Of Chief Arthur, intimated that
before another midnight there might be
be precipitated succession Of strikes
unparalleled in this city. ,,.,
Along the line Of the Chicago, Mil
waukee 4 st. Paul road freight business
was completely paralyzed and passenger
traffic almost suspended. The morning
through passenger trains were on time
as the news of the strikes, which had
been ordered ut midnight, had not reach
cd them before they left their destina'
tions. As soon as the Western Avenue
wards were reached, however, each en-
zine was mounted by delegation ap,
pointed for that purpose, who whispered
to the engineer that strike had been
ordered, and then jumped from the CAB
The train continued on its way till thu
depot was reached, where the passengers
alirhted. Then it was backed out tt

MET HER IN PARHRRsBuRe.
A dispatch from Parkersburg, W. Va,
says: In 1871 j. II. Debar, then mid
dle.aged man of French nativity, was
living in this city with his second wife,
who was, before Debar married her, q
country girl whom he had found in Dod-
bridge county, aud engaged her as his
housekeeper. Debar was a man Of brill
liant mind, specious and plausible in
manner. In 1872 or thereabouts there
suddenly appeared in this city volup-
tuous, splendidly dressed woman, who
claimed to have come from Paris. She
put up at a hotel here as Nine. MessaDt,
there she was visited by Mr.. Debar.
Debar's visits to Nine. Messant, or
Countess Messant," as he called her,
became so frequent thatthey caused con-
siderable talk. Finally he had her re-
moved to his home in the same house
with his wife. Countess Messant re-
mained at the Debar house for some
time, appearing upon the street and in
pIlblic places with Debar. She finally
disappeared, and shortly after Debar re-
moved, with his family. to Philadelphia.
1t is said he left them afterwards. His
wife is now provided for in that city by
her children. He then took up his res
idence in New York, where he was
joined by the Countess, Diss Debar was
formerly West Virginia's State Commis.
sioner OF immigration and is well
known throughout the State.
A MAN WHO KNOWS HER.
Said a gentleman last night, who
knows her from her infancy: "she is
one OF the most audacious adventurers
this country has ever produced, and
one OF the most dangerous. Her poor,
old, honorable and respectable mother
is now living in Louisville, KY, and is
well nigh heart-broken over her daugh-
ters conduct. But three or four
ago the mother was thought to !
be at the point OF death, and then | saw
Nine. Diss Debar crying and wringing

that very time she was telling Mr..
Marsh that she was the daughter OF the
wanton, Lola Montez. Her husband,
General Diss Debar, rs he now calls
himself, is aiding and abetting her in
her trickery, for he was with her in
her home in Kentucky, and knows her
mother and her people, and knows that
she is lying when she pretends to be
King LudWig's daughter. l have no
doubt that he is the author OF the pic
lures which she is palming off on her
dupes as spirit productions. The papers
lre gradually getting tracks OF her do
ings, but they won't be able to get hold
OF n tenth ofthem. Ever since she start
ed out on her iniquitous career she has
money by hook or crook, but
SO far she has managed to escape arrest
for her odenses. She has imposed on
many Catholic clergymen, and, doubt
less, DR.. McGlynn, Of this city, and
Bishop Gilmour, OF Cleveland, would
be able to add something to her story"
1t is understood that meeting Of the
friends OF Mr.. Marsh will be held early
next week, to try and devise ways and
means OF freeing him from the influence
OF the woman, Diss DeBar.

When questioned regarding his oppo.
sition to strikes Mr.. Powderly said: 81

not say that men should not strike, but
would prevent the possibility of hasty,
ill-adyised strikes and would not have

FREE WOOL A CALAMITY.

Free wool will be of no permanent
benefit to the manufacturer or consumer
but positive loss to both and great loss
to the flock-masters, and those depend.
ing upon them for employment. The
decay Of sheep husbandry in the United
States would be a national calamity. It
would place our manufacturers at the
mercy Of foreign producers. This is an
industry which cannot be built up in q
day. II has required years oftoil and
cost to reach its present development,
and sound policy demands its continu-
ance and encouragement,
Pauper labor is dwelt upon in the
usual style, and an appeal is made TO
the prejudice OF the workingmen Of the
country. Ifthe sentiments us expressed

opposed to any change in the existing
tariff laws.
Mr., Mckinley asserts that the great
business interests OF the country, so
largely represented by the manufac-
turers, were treated with silent con-
tempt, and over the earnest protest Of
the minority these interests were not as
much as allowed the right Of petition

4HB MINORITY REPORT
By the Republican Members Of
Mr. Mills Committee.
A VERY P4TRIoTIC DOCUMENT
That Will Accompany the Free Trade
Report to the House To-Day-Mc-
Kinlcy Speaks In Behalf of
American Industries.

LOUISVILLE, April LA Courier-Jour-
ma! Washington special says: Mr.. Nc
Kinley, Of Ohio, Of the Ways and Means
Committee on the Republican side, has
been diligently engaged for the past
three days preparing the report OF the
minority against the passage Of the Mills
bill. His report, now ready, pays atten-
ton to each one of the tariff schedules
in the Mills bill, attacks vigorously the
free list and vehemently denounces free
wool and free tin plate. Two pages are
devoted to the wool question, and from
reading these pages one would suppose
that the only agricultural interest
thought or dreamed OF was that OF wool.
1t predicts ruin and disaster to the
farmers Of the country engaged in sheep
raising.
Mr.. Mckinley says that the first effort
in the direction OF free trade is aimed at
the unorganized farmers OF the country,
who, far removed from the centers OF
trade, busy on their farms and planta-
tions, unused to meeting committees OF
Congress, and unadvised that their in
terests were to be dealt an unfriendly
blow, they are to be the first victims of
the British policy through the agency OF
the American Congress. Theirs is large
interest. Few in the country are larger.
1t is found in every State in the Union,
and indeed in most counties it is in the
HANDS OF THE MANY,
not the few. The flockmasters and their
number at least 100000 per-
sons. The number of focks will reach
!, 100000. The capital invested has been
by competent authority at
and the annual product Of
1887 was valued at SIPS, 100000.
Under the duty OF 1867, the industry
has grown to large proportions. In
1860 the sheep in the United States num-
bered little over 5000, 900; in 1883 the
had reached 80, 100000. InlSG0
the clip was GO, 100000 pounds; in 1883
it reached S20, 600, ,000pounds. Theduty |
OF 1867, which gave to wool growing its
greatest encouragement and induced the
farmers to increase their ilocks and ex-
pend money for the best varieties of
sheep and for their care and improve
ment, and which finally made the Amer
lean woods the best in the country,
to all the uses OF manufactures,
even the highest grades OF woolen and
worsted cloths, has added nothing to
the cost OF wool to the manufacturer or
consumer. On the contrary, that cost
has been greatly cheapeued. In 1867
the price was 81 cents, in 1870 ii was 40
cents, in 1875 43 cents, There has been
a steady reduction, with occasional fluc-
tuatons, since the act OF 1867, until now
it is so low as to be temporarily unprotit- |
able.
