Troops arrived at Hugoton, Kansas.
Sunday evening. The soldiers were or,
dered to disarm the inhabitants of the
town. The proceedings were not very
successful, as but few arms conId be
found. The same measures were taken
| by the troops at Woodsdale, and with
about the same results. Sunday evening
the United States Marshal arrested Sam
Robinson, J. B. Cham berlain and six
others. 1t is expected that the prisoners
will be brought to Liberal and taken to
Topeka for trial.
The International Association, which
has just arisen from the Texas Traffic
Association, convened at Chicago Mon
day to complete the work commenced in
July. The combination embraces nine
teen roads west OF the Mississippi river,
and the head offices are to be at Denver.
The work before the Association at its
present session is the revision of rates to
conform with the Western schedule
which has been adopted in lieu of the
Texas classification. A committee of
five was appointed to take up the mater.
Robt. Garrett, who is sick at the
Brevoort House, New York, requires
good deal of watching. His three doc
tors arrange their visits so that he is
hardly ever without one of them in at
tendance. The report which was cur
rent last October that his brain was al
fected has been revived, but the phys
icians say the trouble appears rather
with the nerves than the head. 1t is
said that his general condition is i'm
proved. He has steadily gained since
leaving Richfeld Springs on Thursday.
The second general meeting of the rail-
way employees to consider the PROPOSE
ton to form confederation of the loco.
motive engineers, fremen and brakes
men of the Brotherhood and the Switch
mems Mutual Aid Association convened
at Minneapolis on Sunday. The gather
ing included representatives from eigh-
teen divisions of engineers, thirteen
of tiremen, eight lodges of brakemen and
four lodges OF switchmen, representing
between 1000 and 10000 men. The
meeting was almost unanimously in ia
vor of amalgamation. Steps were taken
to further this result.
! A vessel of the North Atlantic
Squadron, has been ordered to proceed
to the fishing grounds in the Gulf of st.
Lawrence to look after American inter-
ests and afford fishermen American pro-
lection and assistance. 1t is the desire
OF the Navy Department to have at least
one vessel among the American fishing
fleets at all times. No trouble is ex-
pected, but it is thought this will be
good moral effect upon our fishermen to
impress upon their minds that the
Government is looking after their inter-
ests, should Canadian cruisers try their
old game of seizing American fishermen,
it is thought three ships may be sent
north at the same time.
