RAILROAD LOCKOUT.
EVERY SWlTcHMAN ON THE
NORTHWESTERN DISCHARGED.

Question of Who Shall Dictate the Is
Only Point Involved-Other Employees
Unanimously Support the Company in
Its Acknowledged Out Switchmen
Excited and Demonstratiye.
CHICAGO, May 15.-At precisely a.
"a. every switchman in the employ of
the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
company 200 employed in this city and
3OO employed at points along the line
was discharged and paid off. The COM
pany chose this hour as the most con-
venient to notify both the day and
night men that their services would be
no aonger required. The road has been
preparing for this action during the past
two months, and for every man dis
charged there was another to take his
place. Yardmaster Frank McInernery,
whose discharge the switchmen de-
manded, and enforced by general tie
up during General Manager Whitman's
illness six weeks ago, was reinstated
and took charge of the new men. The
company say that McInernery was never
really discharged. His name has never
been taken off the pay rolls of the COM
pany, but his position has remained
vacant, as he remained away from his
work pending the trouble on his &C
count.
The circular announcing the discharge
of the switchmen stated in recognizing
the switching service preference would
be given to such men previously en-
ployed as were, in the Judgment of the
company, capable and worthy, other
wise their positions would at once be
filed by other men arranged for. Quite
a number availed themselves of the
offer and
Went to Work
with the now men, and the company
claims that with its new force it has been
able to handle all its passenger and
suburban business and perishable
freight. About 200 policemen are sta
toned at different points in the city.
The switchmen were
Excited and Demonstrative,
but refrained from any serious out
break, being apparently overawed by

All Quiet Along the Line.
Dispatches from Fort Howard, Esca-
naba, Baraboo, Milwaukee, Winona,
Council Bluffs, Boone and Des Moines
state that the new men are working
well. No trouble has occurred and
trains are running through on time.
"This is not fight directed against the
union, nor is it instituted for any ques-
ton of wages, said President Marvin
Hughitt, "but a simple matter of disci-
pline.
Stand by the Company.
A general meeting of the trainmen of
the Chicago and Northwestern road was
held in the evening to consider what ac-
ton should be taken in the switchmen's
difficulty. 1t was decided almost unan-
imo1lsly to stand by the company and
gfss all possible assistance in switching
and making up trains.

The Cruiser Heard from at Acapulco.
The Chase Renewed.
WASHINGTON. May 19.-The Charles
ton arrived at Acapulco Saturday and
reported to Washington that they had
seen nothing of the Itata. After coaling
up the Charleston departed Sunday
night to resume the chase. She steered
in southerly direction. The insurgent
man of war was lying at anchor off
Acapulco during the Charleston's stay.
An interview took place between the
two commanders in which the Gillian
said that the Itata would not be taken
while the Esmeralda hoated. The
Charieston's captain replied that il was
his orders to take the vessel at all haz-
yards. 1t is believed at Acapulco that
the Esmeralda met the Itata at sea and
supplied her with coal to continue her
voyage. The Esmeralda is short of fuel.
Her stay at Acapulco is for the purpose
of procuring fresh supply, which the
Mexican government has refused to sell
them. No further definite news of either
the Charleston Or Itata is expected till
the vessels reaah Panama, 1900 miles
south.

CHICAGO, May 1S.-The discharged
switchmen of the Chicago and North
western road, in compliance with the
the suggestions of the offic ers ofthe
Switchmen's union, at Sundays meet
ing, applied to their respective yard
masters for work. In every instance
they were informed that there was no
work for them. The lull in the traffic
lessened the number of men required to
perform the company's work and the
officials had all the men they desired at
present. Such of the discharged men at
are unobiectionable to the company's
officers were told to cali later on, and if
vacancies should occur they would be
given employment. Many of the
switchmen have abandoned all hope of
ever again obtaining employment upon
the Northwestern system. They drew
their time and will apply for work upon
some other road.

ELEVATOR INVESTIGATION.
The nIfnnessta Legislative Committee
Settles Down to Business.

SeCtleS DOWN t0 buSlheSSs
ST. PAUL, May 15.-The wheat in
spection investigating COMMITTEES APP
pointed by the last legislature met at
the capitol and made made consider
able progress during the day with the
examination of witnesses. There was
full attendance of the members of the
committee, and the first question to
come up was as to whether Erwin, the
association should have power and au-
thority to summon and examine wit
nesses. Attorney General Clapp said he
had no objection to Mr.. Erwin being
allowed to assist in conducting the in
vestigation, but this did not meet the
views of Gen. Barrett, who said the
grain growers wanted Mr.. Erwin vested
with full power and authority. The
matter was settled by Mr.. Erwin being
accorded the right to lay before the
committee the names of any witnesses
he might desire to have called and the
committee would act upon such names
as it might see fit.
Two Witnesses Testified.
Assistant Attorney General Childs
conducted the examination of witnesses,
and the whole day was taken up with
hearing the testimony of Pattison and
Lynch, formerly employees in the North
ern Pacific yard at Duluth. Both these
men testified before the house commit
tee, and there made several charges
against the elevator companies and
their employees, furnishing the greater
part of the foundation for the charge Of
stealing wheat preferred against the
elevator people In cross-examinatio
they were somewhat mixed on some
points but stick to the main points, that
good wheat had been loaded at night and
shipped as screenings.
Inspected the Elevators.
DULUTH, Mimi, May 18.-The COM
mittee investigating the alleged wheat
steal of Duluth arrived here and pro-
ceeded to inspect Elevators e and D.
The committee first witnessed the hand
ling of grain at elevator E, and then
made a careful examination of the bins,
carefully inspecting the pockets at the
bottom from which the alleged stealing
occurred. Witness Ario was asked to
point out the defects in the bin but was
unable to do SO, saying his testimony
had reference to the condition of the
bins in 1885. Elevator D was thor
oughly examined, also. After dinner
the state inspection Office was visited,
and the committee listened to long ex-
PLANTATION by Mr.. Clausen of the manner
in which grain is inspected and &C
counts are kept. The committee will
next meet in ST. Paul.

NATIONAL UNIONISTs.
DELEGATES TO THE CINCINNATI
CONVENTION ON HAND.

A Lively Fight Promised Over the Adj
mission of Minnesota Members-Don-
nelly in 1t. as UsuaI-Reform Press
Association Formed.
CINCINNATI. May 1S.-A great major
ity of the 5000 or more delegates who
are expected to participate i'll the delib-
erations of the National Union conven-
ton have arrived. There promises
to be a lively fight in the National ALI
ance conference, caused by contending
delegations from Minnesota. One set of
delegates is headed and appointed by
President Ignatius Donnelly Of the Min
nesota State Farmers Alliance, and the
other set are the appointees of the Ali
ance state central committee which con-
Quoted the campaign last fall. The
committee delegates bear with them
properly certified credentials OF the
state central committee.
Donnelly and his followers do not APP
pear to be worried about the situation,
and claim that the opp osition comes
from persons hostile to the movement,
who are acting under orders from the
wheat ring" of Minnesota.
It has not been determined what
method the conference will adopt to get
its views before the people. There is
some talk of preparing an address in
which cardinal principles OF those at
tending the conference on finance,
transportation, labor and law will be
fully set forth. Again. it is urged that
the proper way would be to
Adopt Platform
and take such action as will settle in
the affirmative the question of cutting
adrift from the old parties and nomin-
ating candidates for the presidency and
vice presidency in 1892. The afternoon
was devoted chiefly to conferences of the
various state delegates, they being, for
the most part, harmonious in their de-
alterations.
The Iowa delegation, among other
things, adopted a resolution urging the
nomination Of full independent ticket
next June, and telegraphed its decision
to prominent men in that state in SYM
pathy with the movement.
S liver and an Eight-Hour Day.
The Eastern men are quite active in
regard to the position to be taken on the
silver question and an "elght-hour
plank. That the conference favors
"the restoration of silver to the position
it occupied before 1878, viz, on an
equality with gold as a monetary stand
ard of value.
Also the following: "As eight hours
constitute legal days work for gov
ernment employees in mechanical depart
ments, we believe this principle should
be further extended, so as to apply to
all firms and corporations employing Ia
Dor in the different states of the Union,
thus reducing the hours of labor and in
proportion increasing the demand for
it. A"
Eastern men announce their deter
mination to make strong effort to Sc
cure the incorpol alton of these planks
in the platform, and indicate that their
zeal lii future will depend largely upon
their adoption.

MANY A'LIFE

LAS been saved by the prompt use of
IL Ayers Pills. Travellers by land or
sea are liable to constipation or other
arrangements of the stomach and bowels
which, if neglected, lead to serious and
often fatal consequences. The most sure
means of correcting these evils is the use
of Ayers Cathartic Pills. The pru-

supply of these Pills. Though prompt
and energetic in operation, Ayers Pills
