a Serious Strike.

CHICAGO, Jure 26.-The strike of freight
Illinois Central railroad has become seri-
Gus one and threatens to blockade its entire
business. The suburban train men struck
after the early trains had come in and there
are now about 1900 men idle and the bust
ness of the road is paralyzed. The bone of
contention in the strike is undoubtedly E.
G. Russell, superintendent of the northern
lines of the Illinois j. Wisconsin railroad.
He came to Chicago a year ago, and ever
since his accession to the office it is said the
men under him have been dissatisfied. The
immediate cause was the resignation of
Trainmaster Berry, and his assistant, Irwin
E. Bushie.
A conference between the men and Off
Gals of the road has been called.

Chicago and Bull.

CHICAGO, June 25.-A statement is pub
lished here to the effect that the English syn
dictate which has just bought the Union stock
yards in this city is liable to find it a poor
investment. It has been recognized by the
stock yards company for some time that the
encroachments of the city would soon rem
der removal desirable if not absolutely
necessary. Accordingly, a syndicate includ-
ing the stock yards company, and number
of railroads was formed, which bought a
tract of ground nine miles square, some
eight or ten miles southwest of this city. On
this tract it is proposed to lay out large stock
yards and freight switching yards to serve in
the capacity of clearing house for all
freight handled by all of the railroads run
ming into the city. Having made sure of all
the preliminaries in this direction, it is said
that the stock yards company began negoti-
ations for the sale of its property, with the
result already known.

WOman'S Rights,

NorRE DAME, IND, June 2S.-The radical
declaration of Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria,
Dame university on the position of woman,
has created a sensation here among Catho-
lies. At the commencement of st. Mary's
academy he went even further. He said that
the position of women had been the position
that southern planters gave their slaves. It.
was no better to-day than it was years ago..
They were treated kindly as the slaves of the
men he knew had been treated, but kept in
ignorance. In this country, however, women
had emancipated themselves. American
women are more intelligent than American
men. The bishops words seemed very like a
statement of advanced belief in woman's
rights. They were applanded again and
again.

WAmING1oa. D. c., June SO-Representa-
tive Reed, of Iowa, has prepared. ON behalf
OF the judiciary committee of the house, .
report ON the bill agreed to by the committee
as q substitute for the senate original pack.
age bill. It first points cut the difference
between the two bills, the senate bill being
applicable to . single subject of commerce.
VIZ: Intoxicating liquors, and the house bill
being applicable 10 all articles of commerce.
The report says that in tho opinion of the
committee all property which has been i'm
ported into the state and kept for sales there
ought to be subject for all purchases to the
jurisdiction of the. state, and all persons who
engage In traffic within q state ought to BE-
subjest to such rules as it may enact for tho
regulation of that traffic. The states are the
proper judges of the needs of their own citi-
zens and they ought to be free to enact and
enforce such laws as they may deem best
adapted to their situation and best calcu-
lated to enhance the prosperity and happi-
ness OF their people, and when the non-resi.
dent imports his wares into the state and
then engages in traffic therein, It is but just
that he should be subject to the same restfic-
tons that govern the citizens OF the state
who would engage in a like traffic, and this
would be- the effect of the bill. II amended
a recommended by the committee. it would
in no manner interfere with the rights OF the
citizen of q state to purchase abroad sny
article of commerce which he might desire
for his own use and have the same trans
ported and delivered to him at his place of
residence. The states would have no power
to prevent the importation of any article OF
commerce., nor TO obs*ruct the transportation
of commerce through their territory, and ex-
cept in the necessary enforcement of their
health laws its only effect would be to sub
jet such property rs may be imported into
the state and there held or offered for sale to
the laws of the state. The power of congress
to enact law of this character can hardly
be doubted. In the Judgment of your COM
mittee, the report concludes, it would be
much wiser to enact general law applicable
to all articles of commerce than to meet the
exigency with reference to particular articles
as may seem to arise, o would be the policy
if the senate bill should be enacted

Bishop Potter on Pens ons.

NEW YORK, June 2s.-Bishop Potter dellv-
cred the annual address to the Phi Beta
Kappa society of Harvard college, taking for
his theme ''The Scholar and the State" In
the course of his address he said:
With US there is, you will say, no throne to
be bought or SOLD and no prstorian guard to
claim the price or deliver the scepter. But
we may not forget that the events of our re-
cent struggle for national existence have left
behind them condition of things which
makes possible a situation only less scan
dulous, because less open and notorious.
The honorable provision for those who suf-
fered and were disabled in the conntry's de-
Tense threatens under the selfish and unscru-
pulOus manipulation of those who see in the
degre9ation of their fellow citizens short
and easy road to political supremacy, to be-
come a pauperizing system. which as the
least and the most innocent consequence Is
the ruinous burden which it is destined
sooner or later to saddle upon the public
treasury. Never was there pharisaism of
philanthropy in which personal aggrandize-
ment more impudently masquera0ed in the
garment of a grateful patriotism than our
halls of congress have lately presented, and
the unmanly silence with which schemes 50
sembly have been received, Is one of the
most amazing facts of our political expen-
ence. Il has come to pass that not alone
some Scared and honorable veteran, not
alone some brave and manned survivor of
an heroic charge, that not alone the widow
and orphan, whom death on the field or in
the hospital have left bereft and penniless,
but every skulking camp follower and de-
serter, every fraudulent and tainted claim
ant Who has the effrOntery to demand his
bribe, can have it if only his vote shall thus
become q commodity with the contract of
partisan dictation, and he himself lackey to
do his political masters bidding. have
nothing TO say of those who have devised
this infamy and baptized it with the name Of
CIVIC gratitude, but for the manhood which
1t is destined to corrupt and degrade no hon
orable man can feel, think, any other than
the most profound sympathy and sorrow.
Happily q situation 20 grave has IN It ele-
ments of alarm which cannot easily be baxren

The Illinois Central Strike.

CAIRO, III, June pa committee of the
strikers came here, and on their order every
freight train between here and Centralia, on
the Illinois Central, was sidetracked. The
passenger coaches were detached from two
trains, and local roads were notified not to
handle Central cars going to other lines.
CHICAGo.-A crisis in the big strike of the
Illinois Central trainmen is reached. After
an all day session the conference between
the strikers committee and the Illinois Cen
trail officials ended with positive refusal on
the part of the railroad company to discharge
Superintendent Russell.
This was the ultimatum as far as the COM
pany was concerned. The ultimatum of the
employees, and indeed the occasion of the
strike has been demand for Russells dis
charge. The reason given being his alleged
general Consciousness" How far the lines
of the other companies will be involved was
also the subject of much discussion among
those interested.
