FL om What He Hears Ha Thinks the
Strike Won'E Last Long.
NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. II. Mr.. Corne-
illus Vanderbilt said to a reporter:
"You may say that ! certainly ap-
prove of what MIR. Webb Is doing, and
that we shall most decidedly stand by
him. That Is certain. But wait
moment while get some kilograms
which have been received during the
day"
Mr.. Vanderbilt went to his library,
and soon returned with q bundle of
dispatches MI neatly arranged and
endorsed, and many of these he read.
They were all signed by Mr.. Webb, and
gave an encouraging account of the
progress of the strike and of that
officials efforts in the direction of
preserving order and running the
traffic. Mr.. Vanderbilt did not at any
time regard the situation as partiou-
larly serious, and was sure the strike
was of the fash in the pan sort. one of
very brief duration.

FlREMEN GO OUT.


Members of the brotherhood Join tho
Striking Knights of Labor.
New YORK, Aug. 11.-Just after mid
night this morning all the locomotive
fremen (members of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen) on the Hudson
River division of the New York Central
& Hudson River Railroad joined the
striking knights of Labor who went
out last Friday night.
This detection of fremen will, it 10
feared, completely block travel over
the New York Central between this city
and Albany, as the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers are pledged not to
run with any fremen except those be-
longing to the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen.
Pursuant to order of Hudson Assem-
bly,, No. 2,246, yesterday, all the en-
ployes of them. Y. Central at Hudson
went out. The signal men in the tower
set the signals at danger" gave
notice to the station agent and turned
over the keys. Their places have not
been filled.
This order affects all engineers, fire.
men, baggage men, trainmen, hagmen,
signal men, hrakemen, trackmen and
freight handlers connected with the
Knights of Labor.

WASHINGTON TOPICS
The Tariff Debate Resumed in
the Senate To-day.
LITTLE WORK IN THE HOUSE.
A Large Number Of oangressmen Go to the
Grand Army Eaoampmsnt

Senators Anxisus for Night assslons-The
River and Harbsr BIN to Ba Called Up
Democrats Have Majority ia the
House mporenne Measures Not to- BE
Considered NJ Present.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Tariff discus
sion will predominant in the Senate
this week until Friday, when Mr.. Frye.
in accordance with the notice he gave
last Thursday, will call mp the River
and Harbor bill.
There are several conference reports
that may be submitted and break in on
the tariff discussion almost any day,
90 the prospects for making much pro-
gress with the Tariff bill this week is
not very goo.I. The Senate started In
to-day with about half of the metal
schedule finished, and with thirty of
the $50 pages OF the bill out Of the way.
Mr.. Hoars resolution to hasten the
CLOSE of debate offered Saturday and
referred to the Committee on Rules, is
likely to be Considered In caucus before
the week ends. Il 1
Another proposition-thato of holding
night sessions of the Senate in order
to hasten final consideration of the
Tariff BILLS also talked OF by some
Republican Senators, but thus far 1t
has not found many enthusiastic sup
porters.
The Grand Army reunion at Boston
has disarranged,th the plans of the House
Committee on Rules for this week. 1t
was the intention of the Committee on
Rules to set apart the week for the
consideration of the Compound Lard
bill, the bill to extend the act In regard
to experiment stations at agricultural
colleges and the Meat Inspection bill;
but SO many of the Republican mem
5ers will be absent in Boston that it is
considered dangerous to call up these
measures.
The probability is that the House
will do very little work, some confer
enee reports being the only matters
that have q chance for consideration.
The absence of Republican members
will probably leave u Democratic ma
jority in the House.

A BlGAMIST'S CRIME.

He Hurls HIs First wife Down n PracI
pics at Niagara.
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, Aug. 11.-One
of the most atrocious crimes ever per-
p etrated in this locality has just come
to light here.
J. G. Hay den, chief of the Rochester,
N. V, detective force, accompanied by
his assistant, Detective Furtherer, arr
Mary Quigley, wife of Charles II.
Quigley, a lather by trade, of Rochester.
The detectives notified the police
authorities here that they were in quest
of the body of woman who was sup
posed to have been murdered here on
the eth of July last by her husband.
The woman was the accused husbands
sister, and had come to point ont the
spot where the crime had been COM
mitted and to identify the body.
The party proceeded toward the
Whirlpool, and when about 200 yards
below the elevator leading to the Whirl-
pool rapids the woman exclaimed
''There is the spot! Under that preci.
pice lies the body of Arthur Days
wife"
Officers Hayden and McMicking, going
after an hours hard climbing reached
the spot indicated, where the body Of
the unfortunate woman was found
mangled on the rocks with her clothes
very much torn.
From what few particulars obtained,
it appears that Day had committed
bigamy and that he Is charged with
having hurled his first wife down the
precipice at the whirlpool. 1t also ap-
pears that wife No. 2 became acquainted
with these facts and notified the police.

WILKEsBAREc, Pa. Aug. 11.-Generai
Master Workman Powderly, head of the
Knights of Labor, was interviewed to-
day.
''of course you are conversant of the

commenced to lay off or discharge
every man who took q prominent part
in the Knights of Labor or any organi-
cation intended for the betterment of
workingmen. When asked why they
discharged the men, the only excuse
given was that the company had Moth
few weeks the company has gone into
the matter of discharges Wholesale and
among the number discharged was
Master Workman E. J. Lee, a locomo-

Mr.. Powderly told friend in conf
dcnoe that this would be the greatest
battle the K. of L. had ever fought.
The order all over the country would
be asked for contributions to sustain
the men on strike.
Some months ago several organizers
attempted to organize the telegraph

s Western Railroad. The organizers
were proceeding quietly with their
work, having the sanction of the divi-
sion superintendent of the road, when
all at once orders came from head
quarters in New York to desist, and
every operator was warned to leave the
organization or lose his employment.

AT ALBANY.
The Situation Grows More Serious Ever
Hour.

The Situation Grows More Serious Every
Hour.
ALBANY, Aug 1.-THE situation here
grows more serious every hour. The
men are watching "scabs" closely, and
those who ventured to do duty during
the day have left, being afraid to stay.
Every available policeman in the city
is on duty. The knights are. in SEES
sion, but no proclamation is to be
issued tonight. The engineers are
also in session. The West Shore shnt
down at o'clock this morning, and 1t
necessary the Erie road men will strike
at night. The railroad authorities here
are very anxious, and the indifference
of Yesterday has disappeared. OF
twenty-seven men out of 400 who statd
at work in the West Albany shops,
there were only seven left tonight.
The others will all join the Knights to-
morrow.
Passenger trains come now and then
with few passengers aboard, but with
no degree of regularity. Fifty Pinker-
ton men arrived from New York and
nre now on duty watching switches and
caring for property.
At Schenectady the Brotherhood of
Firemen unanimously decided to sus-
tain the strikers, and they will join
them Immediately.
Only about 90 of the 100 men en-
ployed in these yards have struck. The
yards are picketed by Knights who are
discouraging anyone from making ap-
plioation for situations. No attempt
was made to dispatch or make up
freight trains. The officials of the
West Shore road would not discuss the
situation, merely saying they expected
to handle all their freight In short
time.
Three of the other roads are in i'm
minent danger of being shut down. A
strike was ordered on the Delaware and
Hudson at z o'clock last night, but wat
withdrawn until freight manager Far
Inns return. The cause assigned Is that
the road is carrying freight belonging
to the Central road. Warnings wer'
sent last night to the Boston and AL
bany and also to the Fitchburg road
| to desist in handling the Contra
| freight. Assistant Superintendent Har
| rington says: ave have got
| 100 men to assist In the general trail
| service. No more men will be hire
| until the men now out have have hat
] a chance to return. After to- morrow
however, We will fill their places. A

tracks at West Albany and protect tn

New York, Aug. 11.-Vice-President
Webb day gave the following circu-
lar to the press:
THE position of the company Is
this, We will select our own men, and
we do not propose that they be designa-
ted by the knights of Labor or its COM
mittees. When men are dismissed We
shall get rid of the inefficient, the most
vicious and those least in accord with
our interests.
when promotions are to be made we
will not be- bound by the seniority rules
promulgated by the Knights of Labor.
"a due consideration will always be
given to length of service, but the first
nd most important rule will be the
qualifications of the men for the place.
"If our men have grievances the
proper officers will be willing to grant
hearings and see that consideration Is
given, but we will not allow outsiders
to interfere between the employer and
employe.
'fFor this reason alone l refused to
allow Mr.. Holland to discuss any differ
ences alleged to exist between the COM
pany and it's men; and not for the
reason, as stated, that we object to our
employees beAHS hAehAoeES VA %"HoA

"These are my views, and am salts
fed that they are CONQUERED in and
approved by every official of the COM
pany, by its Board of Directors, and by

in its securities.
"Ths strike is ili-advised, cannot
succeed, and We will put 1t down and

SYRACUSE, N. V, Aug. 1.-THE Gem:

poet here when the military came into
collision with the strikers. The at
tempts to move trains were baffied to q

Of the men.
The soldiers escorting one train were
driven back by the strikers before they
had an opportunity or regsined their
self-possession sufficiently to repel the
assault. Revolvers were drawn, and
quiet for the nonce restored. Rioting,
however, is looked for at any moment.
