HOW WILL 1T END?
The Switchmen's Strike Looks
More Serious.
Arbitration Asked Of the Rail.
road Companies.
The Engineers and Firemen
May Join the Strikers.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2S.-The switch
mems strike has assumed a new and
threatening phase. Traffic in the yards
On the Belt road moved along with com
mendable regularity, and the officials as
sert that new men are applying constant
ly, but the situation with the strikers had
grown desperate, and they must do some
thing. Consequently they called a secret
conference last night with the engineers
and tiremen, at which a very strong senti-
ment favorable to the switchmen was man
TESTED. After a prolonged discussion a
decision was reached which the striking
men hailed with Joy.
In accordance with the action of the
meeting a committee composed OF repre-
sentatives of three brotherhoods was APP
pointed to call upon officers of the vari.
GUS roads to-day and request them to sub
init the matter at issue between them and
the switchmen to arbitration. This fore
noon the committee called on several su-
perintendents and followed its instruc-
tons. No threat accompanied the re-
quest and the officials were left to Judge
for themselves whether a refusal to heed
it would lead to further complication.
lnau tney regard TINS Phase OF trouble
as much more serious than the mere sur
face appearances indicate is evident from
the haste with which they gathered into
a secret conference at the Union station.
The result of this conference of the uper-
intendents has as yet taken no definite
form for either arbitration or concession.
Chief Sergeant of the firemen arrived
this morning and Joined Chiefs Wilken-
son and Sweeney, ofthe switchmen. Chief
Arthur is now positively expected. The
brakemen have been outspoken in their
sympathy with the switchmen ever since
the strike began.
HThe reason for the support which the
brakemen are giving the strikers is sub
stantially animating the engineers and
firemen. The number of brakemen
which now have been DISCHARGED because
of their refusal to do their work is said to
exceed thirty, and to be increasing daily.
In view of the serious turn the strike now
assumes, the switchmen to night made
public for the first time a paper which
they drew up and signed before entering
upon the strike.

Hronek DENIES 1t All.

CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-The criminal court
room was crowded this morning when the
Hronek dynamite trial was resumed. The
first witness was a detective, who gave tie
jury the details Of the confession made by
Hronek. Many of the bombs found in
Lingg's possession we're made by a man
named Schneider. Schneider also made
the bombs which he (Hronek) had. The
dynamite which Hronek had in his house,
some l2O sticks, he got from a man
named Karafat.
The state then rested its case.
After the defense Lad cross examined
Inspector Bonfield Hronek was put on
the stand. He denied that he was an
anarchist and said that he had never been
one. He had never belonged to an an
archistic society and did not think there
was such a society in existence. He then
made a sweeping denial of the truth of
Chleboun's (the informer) story. Wit
ness had always suspected that Chleboun
was playing a bad part. He denied also
that he was present at the haymarket riot
aud as he had never been harmed by
Bonield, Gary or Grinnell he had no
reason for seeking revenge on them, nor
did he ever do so. He explained the al
legged visit to Grinnell's house by saying
that on July 4 Capek and Chleboun
asked witness to go to the lake where
they would take a bath. On the
way over Chleboun said he had
heard hat Grinnell lived in a pretty
park and suggested going to see it.
Then it was that witness suspected that
Chlebouu was going to sell us out. The
trio walked around the square but never
said anything about revenge. Karafat,
he said, left a box of bombs and dyna-
mite at witness house in October, 1886,
and never returned for it. After a while
witness grew afraid and threw fifteen Of
them into the river.
After a short cross examination an ad.
iournment was taken until Friday morn
ing.

Peculiar idea About Religion.

A student deeply versed in ~ecclesias-
teal :natters recently advanced a very
peculiar idea while conversing with u
friend. He said that the established
religion Of a country owed its princi-
pal doctrines less to faith than to tho
conditions of its climate and surround
ings. He cited the beautiful religion
of the natives of India, who would not
eat anything that had once lived, be-
cause, while all could take away life,
only One could give it. He argued
that q religious belief like that could
only have its origin in an intensely
hot climate like that of India, where
animal food is not necessary to sus-
tain life. Among the LAplanders such
q religion could never obtain, because
it wa absolutely necessary for the
inhabitants of 30 high Il latitude to
keep tho warmth of the body up to q
certain heat. Nothing but animal fat
could do that.-New York Sun.

The detectives of Berlin are the
nearest approach in stolidity to those
of London. There is really very little
crime in the German empire, on ac-
count of the extraordinary sentences
that are imposed and the strict mill
taly discipline that prevails through
out the empire, and which has its
highest development in Berlin. On
this account the most experienced and
capable detectives are taken out of the
criminal service as rapidly as possible,
and promoted to the official depart
mcnt.
Their. duties consist solely in watch
ing socialism and guarding eminent
Germans from bombs and dynamite.
Bismarck, for instance, never travels
without the protection of at least two
of the crack officers of the detective
corps, and, when he takes u ride in the
park, or W ventures on a short
official visit to one of the departments,
a nan precedes and follows him. Tho
vigilance is severe and thorough. The
emperor, l may remark in passing, is
never guarded by detectives, but his
personal staff hover about him in a
fashion that renders any Interference
from Nihilists or Socialists well nigh
impossible. AS to the skill of the Ger
mar detectives, it cannot, l think, be
compared for u moment with that of
the police of Paris or New York. New

The Street Gambler. of China.


One never failing source of amuse-
ment was watching the street gam
blers. You see a man, generally the
most innocent looking of Cinnamon,
if one Chinaman can be said to look
in any way different from another,
unless in size, walking along with
what looks like a rather large UNI
brella. He stops in what he thinks to
be a convenient place, always near a
corner sticks this machine on the
ground, which in some ingenious
way becomes a gambling table,
marked into squares and spots. In an
instant he is surrounded by q crowd
OF all ages, and the game goes merrily
on.
Suddenly a cry of police goes up
and in an instant man and table have
mysteriously disappeared and the
crowd has scattered. l believe the law
is strict against gambling, but the po-
lice seem about as efficient TO stop and
prevent it as are the police Of our
country. / never could get to under
stand the game, but it seems to be run
on the good old principle that the odds
should be in favor of the bank, as the
bank seemed always to win. After
watching the game for several days, I
came TO the conclusion that the person
who raised the cry of police must be a
confederate, as it was always done
when the stakes were quite large, that
is, for that game, as only pieces of
copper were placed on the board, and
in his anxiety to get away the man
would not wait to hand back to the
players their money, but would disap-
pear, money, table, and all.-Samuel
b. Farrar in Chicago Journal.

The Railroad Trust.


New YORK, Nov. 2S.-The Sun pub,
fishes what it claims as the authoritative
statement regarding the terms of the rail
road trust. 1t says: Jay Gould has
taken hold of the problem with evident
sincerity. The Atchison company has
been represented by President Strong,
and the St. Louis and San Francisco road
by President Erslow. and so far as neces-
sary to secure the corporation of the
Southern Pacific system G. p. Hunting
ton or some one of his lieutenants assist
ed. Commissioner Midgely, who formerly
supervised the Southwestern Traffic Asso-
citation, has also been an active participant
in the conference. Under the interstate
law the pooling arrangement is out of the
question, and it was conced, I'd ct the start
ing rates was useless. Under those Gil
cumstances two points were finally agreed
upon. One was to take the rate making
power entirely from the subordinate Off
GERS of these ~corportions; the other was
to punish violations of the schedule tariff
by summary and permanent dismissal.
Upon these two fundamental principles a
simple plan for running the records of the
company business through a clearing
house was formulated.
THE three great systems referred TO
have agreed to put this plan into execu-
ton as soon as the plans can be arranged.

ger roads occupy some of the upper part

the Southwestern managers TO make an
effort to bring about a revolution in the
road for the good of all concerned in the
business. Before completing their plan
they decided to submit to the presidents
of all important roads doing business
west of Chicago and south of st. Paul. 1t
should be understood that all the Pacific
roads will try now to band together in the
Transcontinental Traffic association, which
at present is performing its functions
most satisfactorily. Hence they were not
included in the scope of present work.
Nor were the roads in the extreme south.
western states, as they have owing to the
impetus given to the work of impro ring
just revised the International Traffic As.
soclation's rates.
"a few answers have already been re-
ceived from the companies to which the
outlines of the new and comprehensive
agreement has been submitted and all OF
them have signifed a desire to become
parties to it. The three presidents heard
from are those of the Union Pacific, Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul and the
'Stickney' system"
Jay Gould and Russell Sage held a con-
ference with representatives of the Rock
Island road last night with the view of
securing their adhesion to the ra .lroad
trust. Sage says the scheme is meeting
with general favor and that it is the only
practical one for stopping railroad vars.
Jay Gould holds the same opinion and
that the plan will be eventually adopted
by all roads.
