eye, began: You scoundrels ~ In
silently there was a storm OF angry
howls and curses, but when they
ceased he repeated in louder
voice; You scoundrsls!" Again the
storm rose and again he repeated
the term. The fourth time the American
admiration for feariessness and fair play
asserted itself, and the balance Of Lis
speech was listened to in silence and with
respect. Another time Mr.. Philips was

owe to free trade. 1t saws In a recent
'ssue:-"The project to bring about
free trade between the United States
and the other nations of the continent.
which has been started by some repub-
'ican members of congress, would
undoubtedly be favored by a majority
of the republicans of the country. A
scheme of this sort, fairly and formally
presented In congress-, would be a
grand II for the party to 90 before
the country with next fall in the con-
9ressIonaI elections" This illustrates
the insinceritv OF the republican party
pretty well, Only . few months ago
there was nothing too mean to be SAID
of free trade in any shape; now comes
n OF Its leading organs and advocates
it boldly. We think free trade with
South America, Central America and
Mexico would be a good thing, but no
better than with the balance of man
kind. While there may be a political
sentiment in favor of the Americas,
economic reasons would prefer Europe.
The latter would buv our meats and
cereals if we would let them. thus
benefitting our farmers. while South
America would lake neither. Free
trade with the Americas aud protective
prohibition against Europe would mean
another boost for manufacture and
another blow at agriculture. Let Mr..
Blaine and its recent admirer, the
q. d., go on. Whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad.

THE STOCK YARD STRIKE.
The Serious BIoOEads of Freight stilI
 Con InueR.

EA0 60ElOuS 3tOO0huo OA rroABAb SsAAA
 Con;i innee.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 2s. The Alton switch men are still out, and freight is fast accommodating in their. yards. At Brighton there are 500 loaded cars bound for the city. There is no sign of any concession on the part of the railroad company. At joint meeting of Alton switchmen, engineers and fremen this afternoon, the action of the switchmen in striking was con- demned.
 Every empIoye of the Railway Switching Association at the Stock Yards is to be discharged tomorrow. conferences to-day. It was decided that each road should do its own switching at the Stock Yards, and the action of the superintendents on Aug. 25, in deciding to dissolve the Switch ing Association was confirmed.
 The Lake Shore and the Michigan Central sent engines and crews into the yards to-day, and considerable work was done to relieve the packing houses of the blockade. The Baltimore & Ohio, Illinois Central and several other engineers f1atly refused to do any work in the yard.
 A mass meeting of all the switchmen in the city has been called for tonight. Non-union men as we'll as union men are requested to attend. Vice Grand Master John Downey, of the Switch mems Mutual Aid Association, said to- day of the proposed meeting: "We intend to get the boys together to find out if they cannot be induced to stop their foolishness."
 Many of the strikeas are of the be- lief that the meeting has been called to notify them that their nasty action is in conflict with the rules of the Switch mems Association, and that being so they cannot expect support from the ing into Chicago.
 It is now understood that the switch men will return to work at the old wages provided they are invited to.

Marking the Lines at Gettysburg.

s WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The House Committee on Military Affairs ordered a favorable report on the bill introE duced in the House by MT. Bingham of Pennsylvania, for marking the lines of, battle and dispositions of the army of, northern Virginia at Gettysburg, Pa.l The bill is reported with an amendment. reducing the appropriation from $S10, - 900 to $125, ,000. In a report recom-. mending the passage of the bill the committee say that they have the as surance that such an act would not be- distasteful but rather gratifying to the. remnant of the army of northern Vir-. ginia, and what grander evidence of. magnanimity and strength could the nation give than thus to preserve the historical data of the great turning battle of the war. In concl usion the report says: "Your committee is im- pressed that this is a work that ought
 to be done and not delayed"

Webb Says the Strike is Over.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.--Third Vice President Webb, of the New York Gen. tral Company, says that the road was in good shape and everything worked elegantly. "The strike is over," he said, "and as to further tie-ups we do not fear any, though there are few Knights on the road" Meetings of the strikers were held at various places throughout the oity, in which it was declared that the freight blockade still continued. At Semms's Hall, Twenty sixth street and Eighth avenue, a secret circular from MT. Powderly was read, giving the men encouragement, prom: ising them aid and warning them to keep away from the rum shops.
