ON THE WEST SHORE.

The Passenger Trains Running
Freights at Standstill.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-At the West
Shore depot and the yards at Wee
hawken everything during the day was
quiet. The road is not greatly discom-
moded by the fifty switchmen who went
out Saturday night. The fact Is, that of
the 100 men employed about the yards
and depot but halt were subject to the
Knights order. All the passenger
trains were dispatched. each about half
an hour behind the schedule time. In
coming trains were delayed for about
the same time. This was caused by the
delay in switching. None of the strik-
ers were to be seen in the vicinity. The
yards were understood to be well pick
eted by the strikers to dissuade men
from making application for work. The
Knights of Labor headquarters was
where the strikers congregated. 1t is on
the summit of hill overlooking the depot
and yards adjoining. From this point
they observed everything that trans
pired. No attempt was made to dis
patch or make up freight trains, and it
is probable that none will be until the
trouble is ended one way or the other.

THE MILITIA CALLED OUT.
Strikers Threaten Violence at De-
witt Station.


New YORK, Aug. 1O.-The Chicago &
North Shore limited, due at the Grand
Central depot at o'clock this after
noon, was tied up by the strikers at De-
witt, n. Y, and is not expected to ar
rive until o'clock tomorrow morning.
There is great trouble at Dewitt, and
the militia has been called out. The
employees on the train that stopped at
Dewitt took out and destroyed the
coupling pins, and threatened violence
to any men who might go to work. The
st. Louis express, due here at z o'clock
this morning, did not arrive until Z
o'clock tonight. The train from
Buffalo and Syracuse, due at
1925 o'clock this morning, was
stopped and deserted this side
of Syracuse. The superintendent of
the Sixty-ffth street freight yard was
very busy this afternoon in making uD
train of fOrty-fOur cars, which he eX-
poets to get under way at O'Clock to-
morrow morning. Crowds OF strikers
stood on the embankment around the
yards and watched the operations of the
green men in making up the train, but
made no hostile demonstration. 1t is
said that they will not allow the train
to go out. The green men succeeded in
getting five cars loaded with flour, lard
and general merchandise on barge, to
be delivered to steamers. The follow
ing order was issued at the SiXtieth
street switch yard this afternoon:
The employees in yard and freight service
in West Albany. Black Rock, Dewitt and
New York will report at 8 o'clock tomorrow
morning. All men here are required to re-
port to Mr. Lotus. G. M. BIssELL.

At midnight LOCO police were started
from the various precincts to take pos
session of the railroad track from Spuy-
ten Duyvil to Yonkers. At 10 o'clock
in the morning 1t is proposed to start
the first freight train.

JOHN BOYLE o'REILLY.

Last night his wife was ill, and at In
O'Clock he called DR.. William III. Litch-
field, of this town, to attend her, and
DR.. Litchfield went to the house and
prescribed for her, leaving bottle Of
medicine. About 2 O'Clock Mr.. O'Reilly
again called the doctor, and said that
part of the medicine left for Mrs,
O'ReiIly had been spilled. The doctor
then gave him a single dose to take to-
her. AS he left the dector's, Mr.
O'Reilly said that he felt
extremely tired, and if Mrs,
O'Reilly went to sleep, he would take q
little something himself to see if he
could not get a few hours sleep. AT
o'clock Mrs. O'Reilly awoke and found
that her husband was missing. She
went down stairs and found him lying
on the floor in an unconscious con.
dltion. The doctor was immediatelN
called. Upon arriving he found the,
respiration very weak, and Mr.. O'ReillH
expired shortly after. A bottle was
found containing the medicine used BY
Mrs. O'Reilly, from which she had
taken but very little, b1t which was
nearly empty. 1t is supposed that Mr.
O'Reilly took dose from it by mistakes
This would not have produced deatM

BERLIN, Aug. 1O.-The German i'm

peror William and Prince Henry landed
at noon and were met by Herr Won

once to the Overland, where an open air

thousand marines were reviewed by the
emperor, who afterwards received an
address presented by the inhabitants of
the island. After taking luncheon in
the Casino the emperor departed at $3.50
O'Clock amid the cheers of the populace.
In his speech on Saturday Minister
Won Boetticher dwelt upon the slguItl-
canoe of the event as showing the depth
of the friendship existing between the
two nations, which he hoped would ever
be maintained. He also hoped that the
two armies would never be divided, and
that the lofty wisdom of which the
queen on this occasion had given
proof would ever be her guide.
''We entertain especial sympathy"
he said, ''for the mother of Empress
Frederick and the grandmother of our
august master, and wish her a long life
and blessed reign" The emperor, in
his address to-day, recalled the fact that

BRUSSELS, Aug. 1O.-Forty thousand

suffrage. A large number of people
came from the provinces to participate
in the parade. There were many women
in the line. The troops were confined
to their barracks all day. The police
patroled the streets, but everything was
orderly. The route was thronged with
sympathetic on-lUokers. A terrific
storm. which came up at l o'clock,
caused the procession to disperSe, but
when the rain ceased the paraders re-
formed their ranks and marched to St.
Giles park, where they were addressed
by the leaders of the movement. An
other shower finally dispersed the
crowd. Delegates from the Labor and
Progressive parties met in the evening
and sent the following dispatch to King
Leopold. You have asked what is the
country's watchword. 1t is universal

Many Congressman Attend the

WASHINGTON, Aeg. 1O.-Owlng to the
fact that many members have gone to
Boston to attend the Grand Army en-
campment. 1t is probable that little or
no business will be transacted in the
house before the latter part of the week.
1t was the intention of the leaders to as
sign the week to the agricultural COM
mittee, which seeks action OH the COIN
pound lard and meat inspection bills,
aud to the committee on education,
which is ready to call up the bill to eX-
tend aid to agricultural colleges. But
it is feared that no quorum will
be present or that, if there
is, it will INCLUDE a majority of Demo
Gratis, who might by their action de-
range the plans of the committees. The
proceedings, therefore, will probably
be confined to action upon the confer
ence reports upon the fortihcation and
sundry civil appropriation bills, pos
sbly interspersed with recesses for a
day or more. In the senate the tariff
bill will be discussed until Friday, when
it is expected that the river and harbor
bill will be taken up. But this is not
altogether certain, as several senators
are opposed to the tariff bill being dis
placed by any bill. The discussion of
the tariff bill will probably be inter-
rupted by the presentation of the con-
ference reports on the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill and the land grant for
feitllre bill.

CHICAGO. Aug. 1O.-The Knights of
Labor of Chicago are stirring in a very
lively manner, and reporter was told
tonight by prominent mem ber of the
local organization that the railroad
strike was not to be limited to the New
York roads, and that move is to be
made at this end of the Vanderbilt sys-
tenn very soon. The central council, K.
of l.. OF Cook county. held spirited
meeting this afternoon, at which there
was an unusually large attendance. 1t
was evident that there was something
In the wind. All interest centered on
the New York Central d Hudson River
railroad strike. The Knights init
mate very strongly that tn ey
will follow the example OF
their Eastern brothers. and that
the move is near at hand. Members of
the central council who participated in
to.day's meeting say that they are
strong among the employees of the Van
derbilt system at this end of the line.
They claim that the other railway or
CARNATIONS here are likely to cooperate
with the Knights if strike is ordered
here. A leading member of the switch
mems organization, however, stated
positively that in case the Knights or.
dered strike Oh the lines centering at
this point their organization will re-
main strictly neutral. ''Of course"
said the Switchman, ''the boys will
have our sympathy, and we wish them
success, but a strike ordered by the
knights would not precipitate any move
on the part of our ORDER" The follow
ing resolutions were passed:
Whereas. 1t has come to the knowledge of

authorities have been discharging old and

LUNACY IN ENGLAND.
Tt Seems to Be Increasing Very
Rapidly.

Rapidly.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.--The depart
ment of state has received an interest
ing report from William Z. Smith, COM
mercial agent of the United States at
Huddersfed, Eng. on pauperism in
that country. The most remarkable
feature of the report made by the poor
law inspector of Lancashire county, Mr..
Smith says. is, that while the march of
pauperism is held pretty we'll In check,
the progress of lunacy appears to be
spreading with startling rapidity. In
1880 there were $500 lunatics in Lam
cashire county. while in 1880 the num-
Der had increased to 5000. In England
and Wales, in 1880, there were $1,000 lu-
natics, while the report of 1890 shows an
increase of 14.000. The total cost to the
county of Lancashire for maintaining
its paupers during 1889 was nearly
$1,90O,O0O. In England and Wales the
cost during the same period was $21, ,000,-
600. During the years from 1880 the
cost of pauperism in these two countries
had increased 94,000,000. Tramps, al
though classified as pauperS, are not in
cluded in the above figures. Mr.. Smith
says that it lsscharacteristic of the En-
glish tramp, when driven to the neceS
sity of choosing between the poorhouse
and starvation. to compromise, if possi-
bic. by Stimulating and becoming an in-
mate of an asylum. In 1880 there were

in 1890 the number increased to 5,434.

THE CoMrANY's POSITION.
Third Vice President Webb Makes
a Statement.


New YORK, Aug. 1O.-Late in the
afternoon the following circular was is
sued by Third Vice President Webb,
and was the result Of the long delibera-
ton Of the conference held by the roads
officials:
The position of the company is this:
We shall select our own men, and we
do not propose that they be designated
by the Knights of Labor or committee.
When meu are dismissed we shall get
rid of the inefficient, the most vicious,
and those least in accord with our in
terests. When promotions are to be
made, we will not be bound
by the seniority rules promul-
gated by the Knights OF Labor.
A consideration will always be given to
length of service, but the first and 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. For this
reason alone l refused to allow Mr. Hol-
land to discuss any differences alleged
to exist between the company and its
