Chicago stocsyards switchmen's Strike.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The strike of the
switchmen Of sthe Stockyards Switching
association. after an adjustment of the
grievances of the engineers and firemen
yesterday, put new phase on the situa-
ton, and this morning it was decided to
dissolve the association and allow each road
to do its own switching. The old men were
told their services were no longer needed
and others were procured to do the switch
ing. Superintendent Marsh went to the
stockyards this morning at the head of 300
men to take charge of the police arrange
ments there and see that no act of violence
was committed by strikers. The strikers
have given up the fight. They will this
afternoon send a committee to the railroads
asking to be taken back at the old rate of
wages
Inc rumor that the striking stockyards
switchmen had repented their haste and
asked to be taken back by the Switching
association at the old rate of wages is url .
true. The roads have dissolved their
switching association and declared the
strikers discharged, and say that each road
will hereafter do it's own switching. 1t is
now question whether the EMPLOYEES of
the different railroads will agree to take
the places of the strikers that formerly
composed the employees of the Switching
association. Should the railroad men re.
fuse, every road entering Chicago will be
tied up before forty eight hours.

GIVE THE MORM0NS
Fair Play, Says Judge Carleton
i'm the National Democrat.
DIFFICULTY OF GIVING FACTS
About the people of Utah Protayed-Why the
Hue and Cry is Kept up-lt is
Purely Political.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-FSpecial telegram
to THE HERALD. Under the caption of
''Fair Play for the Mormons'' to-morrow's
National Democrat win print a three column
article by Judge Carleton, an eminent
Indiana lawyer and for seven years mem
Der of the Utah commission. The writer
says that most of the publications about
the Mormons are utterly unreliable and
characterized by the acrimony Of apostate
rancor; others are sensational and often
illustrated with monstrous pictures; their
object is TO meet the popular taste for the
marvellous. Judge Carleton says his task
of presenting the Mormons in their true
light is d difficult and ungracious one.
"For,'' says he, many persons prefer to
believe lie about a people whom 1t is the
fashion to dispise." He affirms that for
honesty, sobriety, industry, neighborly
kindness, peace and good order, the Nor
mons are equal if not superior
to any community on this CONT
nent. Over 95 per cent. of the
saloon keepers and gamblers of Utah are
not Mormons, while over 20 per cent of the
population is Mormon. He asserts that
w CI SCSCn-Sl lOlio VI buC dOlLOuo anu IT,
lonious offenses are committed by anti
Mormons. He further says:
THE Gentiles profess not to believe in
Mormon reform; that Emo good can
come out of Nazareth and that many anti
Mormons, strange as il would seem, would
resent any well considered intention OF
reform among the people, as thereby
they would lose club by which they ex-
pect to manipulate the political affairs OF
Utah.
The article, which is scholarly through
out, abounds in striking and original
thought and cannot fail to attract wide
spread attention. Judge Carleton closes
this sentence: ''Shall we in this enlight-
ened country invoke legal coercion over
the consciences of men in the matter OF
religion and resort to the thumb screw and
rack, political prescription and disfran-
chisement as modes of religious instruc
ton and persuasion!n

The Fastest Torpedo Boat Extant.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-According to the
journal published by the Society Of Naval
Engineers for the current quarter, the fast
est torpedo boat extant is the Adler, tor
Dedo dispatch boat built after the new type
introduced by SchichaT, of Germany. for
the Russian government. She is similar in
principle to the Italian boats Aquilia, Nib
10 and F'alko. The hull is 152 feet inches
long, II feet beam and about one hundred
and fifty tons displacement. The engines
are twin screws, triple expansion, about
twenty three hundred indicated horse
power. There are two locomotive boilers
1t is officially reported that she made a
mean speed during six runs over meas
ured mile of pa knots. This beats the
best record of our little Gushing and all
the Spanish boats which have hitherto
taken the lead in point of speed and makes
the Russian government the possessor of
the fastest little craft in the world.

To Test the Cushing's Boilers.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch.1
WASHINGTON. Aug. c6-The torpedo boat
Gushing will be brought down from Boston
to New York soon for the purpose of hav-
ing an evaporation test of one of her
Thornycroft boilers, which was ordered
some time ago, but was postponed on ac-
count of the intense heat, which made work
in the firerooms almost impossible. On this
test will depend in large degree the ques-
lion of what kind of boilers will be put in
the torpedo boat authorized by the recent
naval appropriation bill After this test
the Gushing will be put through an extern
sive series of speed and running trials. She
will be run at a maximum speed over
measured mile course to ascertain her
highest speed. She has never yet been
pushed to her utmost. limit, and though she
is fast it is not expected she will reach the
speed made by some of the later European
boats. She was designed for % knots an
hour, and will exceed that speed, but she
will fall short of the % knots record Of

ness. The resolution recites that twice to-
day the legislative proceedings were inter-
rupted by want of quorum; that certain
members mentioning their names)
answered to their names under a call, but
did not respond on the regular call.
Grain and others protested against the
resolution, saying it was an unjust arraign-

those members. There was great confu-
sion in the House. Fully dozen members
were on their feet demanding recognition
on the question of personal privilege and
their efforts to secure such recognition was
heartily seconded by their friends.
Finally Grain was recognized and said !:

Henderson, of Iowa, said Dothing in the
resolution could be construed into a cen
sure, and Cannon said the naming. of the

Healey spoke on the potato blight. He said
nothing stood between the people and

railway act recently passed be held to prove
the governments intention to meet the
the whole conduct of the executive. It
might not be legal for tenants to withheld
