AN UNCERTAIN QUANTITY.
The Great Strike of the Journeymen Car
penters of Chicago.
[By telegraph q tho pispaich.


CHICAGO. September 2.-The great strike
of the journeymen carpenters opened this
morning in an uncertain quantity Al
neither the headquarters of the journey
men nor the bosses was it known TO what
extent the order TO quit work had been
obeyed. The strike opened. however,
differently from any that have been insu-
rurated here for years. At the headquar-
tiers Of the journeymen, where heretofore
Il has been always claimed that every
carpenter in the city obeyed the mandates
OF the council, it was admitted this morn
ING that perhaps some and perhaps great
many had not done so this time. At the
headquarters OF the old and new bosses
associations, on the other hand, the inau-
curation of the journeymens strike il de-
clared TO find no men idle. 1t is said to-
day that perhaps a great many laid down
their tools fol. q, time on Saturday night.
The buster of the antagonists is missing
to-day. Each seems TO be watching the
other and TO DO carefully sizing up the
situation before any comment is made.

New YORK, September 2.-The State Board
of Arbitration begun its Investigation here
today as 10 the difficulties existing be-
tween the New York Central railroad and
the Knights Of Labor. The witnesses ex-
amined were Vice-President Webb OF the
Central road, Powderly. District Master
Workman Lee OF Assembly 2i6, J. j..
Holland of the Executive Committee of the
Knights of Labor, and a number of the
former employees of the Central road
whose discharge brought the strike about.
Their testimony added but little TO the
history of the strike, as il is already
known. Roger A. Pryor appeared as coun-
sci for the Knights. He endeavored to
find out from Vice-President Webb If the
Knights of Labor question had been dis
cussed by the Board OF Directors of the Cen
trail road, but the board declined to admit
hequestion. THAT shutsus of. remarked
Pryor. turning around To the Knights OF
Labor Executive Committee. Webb said he
arranged for the services of Pinkortons
men some time before the strike. When
asked about the details of the arrange
ments Webb declined to answer by adj
vice of counsel Webb did not seek the
protection OF the police authorities prior
to employing the Pinkertons. This con-
cluded Alr. Webb's testimony.

ference report on the river and harbor APP
preparation bill in the House to-day Chair
man Cannon, of the Committee on Appro-
priations. made an exhaustive statement
touching the expenditures authorized
during the present session Of Congress.
HIS conclusion is that there will be sur
plus of revenue above expenditures for the
fiscal year of sos ,279,475.
Mr.. Savers, of Texas, on behalf OK his
Democratic colleagues on the Approprla-
tions Committee, presented similar state:
ment. From precisely the same sources, OF
information used by Dir. Cannon the
Democratic members deduce an excess of
appropriations above the revenue for the
fiscal year Of S11, ,ii2.55.
Mr.. Allison, in the course OF speech IN
fine Senate today, made an elaborate ex-
position Of the financial situation as he
Understood it. and he figured out sur
