THE WORKINGMEN.
Railroads at Cleveland Tied Up Massa-
chuSettS Lab0rerS Quit Work.

CLEVELAND, June I7.-Every railroad
in Cleveland is tied up. The wheels of pas
senger and mail trains are the only ones
will be neither the officials nor the en-
ployes predict but both regard the situa-
tion as serious. The switchmen claim the
railroads must listen to their demands with
out delay or the yardmen in the adjacent
cities will also leave work.
The present outlook is gloomy. Only
through trains, which needed no switching,
were moved to-day. The yards are full of
freight-cars. All perishable freight has
ceased coming. Yesterday a vegetable and
fruit famine was impending. The differ.
ent railroad managers asked for 300 special
policemen to protect their yards. The
interfere. They say their coal supply is
limited, and fully 10000 of their hands will
be thrown out of work tomorrow night
unless the strike is then ended. All the
yardmeD, union and nOn-union, are out.
Six hundred strikers held secret meeting
tonight. The men are all firm. The ar
rival of Tran-master Sweeney is anxiously
awaited. The situation is desperate.
Boston. June 1.-THE building laborers
Of Boston. Someryilie and Cambridge, num-
bering 5000, struck this morning. The
brick-layers have agreed to support the
strikers, and will not receive stock at the
hands of non-union men. The strike is for
an advance of % cents per day.
NEW YORK, June 17.-Dissatisfaction in
the ranks of labor is on the increase. The
cloak-makers's lockout, it is asserted, is
only the beginning OF a general strike,
which will eclipse anything Of the kind yet
known in this city. A number of the Ital-
ian tailors left the shops this morning and
many more are expected to strike tO-mOr-

Tex, says: freight crew which arrived here
this morning over the Southern Pacific road re-
port that when they arrived at Separ Station,

and ten other men were camped. He stated that

prised them and shot them down as the men
got out of their blankets TO escape. He thought
there were about thirty Indi MS In the band.
The cowboys had been in bed but a short time
when the attack was made. Some OF them were
armed. but did not have their guns handy, not
expecting TO find Indians on The warpath in that
section. He saw three men urop, and THINKS
that the rest shared the same fate. A posse was

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL

Z LONDON June 17.-Lord Sallsbury's dis
patch to the British ambassador at Berlin,
containing an agreement with Germany.
declines to allow GermaDy's claim, that
when one power occupies coast another
may not, without consent, occupy unclaimed
. regions in the rear. 1t cannot be allowed
in cases where the country is already oecu-
pied by Englishmen; but where there are
no English settlements, England has no
title to advance against German claims.
The agreement, in substance, is as fol-
lows: England retains the Stevenson Road,
which will be the boundary between the
English and German spheres, on line
stretched from the mouth of the Bokurn, on
the west shore Of Lake Nyassa, to the
mouth Of the Kilambo, on the south shore
OF Lake Tanganyika. Northward Germany
retains the region as far as the Congo State
and along the first degree of south latitude,
the boundary beyond, diyerging around the
western shore of Nyanza, to include the
mountain of Fumbrio in the British sphere,
in order to make the frontier COIN
eide as nearly as possible with the
region covered by Stanley's treaties In
all of the East African territories equal
rights of settling or trading shall be con-
ferred by the two powers respectively on
their subjects. The details of the frontier
between Ngamil and Damoraland remain to
be settled. but it is agreed that in the lati-
tude of Lake Ngami and up as far as the
eighteenth degree of south latitude, the
German frontier shall coincide with the
twenty-ffst degree of east longitude. In
Togoland the frontier is rectifed, securing
mouths of the Volta to England and giving
Germany access to the Volta River at
higher point of its course. Germany cedes
with them the islands of Manda and Patta
and Somali, comprising coast line of over
200 miles, to England, so that, except Congo
State, there will be no competitor
with British influence between the first
degree south latitude and the borders of
Egypt along the whole country lying south
and west of the Italian protectorate
Germany consents that England shall
assume the exclusive protectorate in the
sultanate of Zanzibar, inclosng the islands
of Zanzibar and Pemba. England will assist
Germany 10 obtain a cession of the German
coast line hitherto rented from the Sultan.
England, considering Helgoland useless,
since she lost Hanover, will cede it to Ger
many, subject to the consent of Parliament,
and the present customs and tariff Will be
continued twenty years. Other colonial
disputes in Africa are reserved for friendly
settlement, and the status quo will be pre-
served pending the ratification OF the pres

Cured by Cuticura

For about thirteen years have been troubled with

one bottle OF CUTIcURA RESoLvENT, was entirely
cured.

about five months old, suffering with what
supposed to be the same disease as mine to such an
extent that his head was coated over with solid
scab, from which there constant flow Of pus

tumorlike kernels on the back OF his head. Thanks
to your wonderful CUTICURA REMEDIES, his
scalp is perfectly WELL and the kernels have been
scattered so that there is only little place by his
left ear, and that is healing nicely. Instead of a
coating OF scabs he has fine coat OF hair much bet
ter than that which was destroyed by the disease

Two Pugilists Badly Used Up in an Eighteen
Round Fight
New YORK, June IL Reddy Mcbride of
Philadelphia and Jimmy Lynch of New
York fought at Oak Point this morning
with skin-tight gloves for $1,000 ana an add
ed purse of $500. Eighteen rounds were
fought. when the affair broke up in row.
and the referee gave the fight to Lynch.
Both men were terribly punished. For
the first half of the fight Lynch had decid-
edly the best of it, acting on the aggressive
most of the time and Furnishing Mcbride
severely. The latter, in fact was nearly
knocked out in the tenth round, but his
wonderful rallying powerskept him up. In
the twelfth round Mcbride took the offens-
i've, and in that and the thirteenth rounds
he succeeded in inflicting severe punish
ment on Lynch. In the fourteenth, how
ever. he was knocked down and in the six
teenth he nearly knocked Lynch down, but
the latter rallied, ana from that time he was
on top until he put Mcbride to sleep in the
eighteenth with right-hander on the jaw.
Mcbride was hideous sight, while Lynch
was also badly used up.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
A Doubt as TO Whether Silver Will Advance
Under tho Nav Bill

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Commercial
Bulletin tries 10 raise an alarm concerning
the Silver Bill, suggesting editorially that
it is doubtful whether silver will rise under
the legislation proposed. 1t says: The
compulsory purchase of fixed amount or
value of silver each month by the Treasury
is in the highest degree calculated to de-
press the price, because the Treasury is
under obligation TO buy where it can buy
the cheapest, and the worlds supply can
only be exhausted when all the surplus sill
yer in the civilized world has been alb
sorbed. The journal also says: There is
no reason whatever for supposing that im-
ports Of silver might not Indefinitely in
crease if the market here be thus enlarged.

here have not yet backed their man, and
are waiting for the eve of the fight, when
rush of money for Wallace will be sure to
make him the favorite. Dixon's supporters

NEW YORK, June IA Mexican Onyx
Company was formed at the law offices of
Foster & Thomson, 90 Wall street, to-day.
The capitalization was placed at 81, 500, 600,
but it is we'll understood the money behind
the scheme is represented by much larger
figure. A syndicate of Western men who
control the United States National Bank Of
Chicago and a number of other strong
financial institutions in the West are
interested in the company, which
is actually trust or combination
to control the production and price
of Mexican onyx. The syndicate claims to
control all the variegated onyx mines or
quarries in Mexico, which, since the exhaus-
tion OF the famous onyx mines Of Oberstein,
in Germany, have furnished almost the
entire output of that beautiful stone. 1t
is claimed to be the intention of the
trust to reduce the cost of onyx
by improved mining and transportation fa-
cilities. The price now is about S14 cubic
foot. The trust expects to reduce this
to S4.
