Victims of Conspiracy.

CHICAGO, May 17.-By refusing to cal
out the trainmen on the Northwestern
road the Supreme Council of the United
Orders appears to have possibly opened the
way to the ultimate disruption of the fed
GRAFTON. The Councils action was severely
condemned at a meeting of the swift chmen's
leaders held to-day. Grand Master Swee
nev. of the Switchmen's Association, said
the switchmen had been victims of a con
spiracy between the railroad officials anc
the trainmen and firemen. The union met
tonight, and by vote of so per cent. de-
cided to go back to work in the morning,
thus virtually abandoning the strike.

this morning 400 negro miners with their
families arrived at Stone Siding on the
Northern Pacific, aoout 80 miles from

white miners with whom the company had
been having trouble. About six weeks ago
Superintendent Cory attempted to force
the miners TO sign a contract displeasing
TO them, and a strike was the result, the
men returning when he ostc nsib bly, resigned,
but IN reality started to gather the negroes.
When it became known among the miners
that the negroes were on the way TO the
mines every camp was nolned ana all
miners went out on strike, and trouble is
expected at Franklin. A force of Pinker-
tons will accomoany the negroes from the

GOVERNOR CAMPBELL'S LOSSES.
He Was Not victimized TO the Extent
Generally Believed.

HAMILTON, o., May lit is understood
that Governor Campbell's loss in the re-
cent Brice-Thomas deal in Wall street has
been somewhat exaggerated by the press.
1t can be stated from reliable source that
the Governor was inveigled into he deal,
and squeezed to the extent Of only 500 600,
instead of s2OO,OOO as currently reported
about the State. The truth of the matter
is, Brice thought he had dead cinch on
Richmond Terminal when he made the
trade with Gould, and accordingly took in
his friend Campbell in order to make him
a nice profit. But the little railroad king
took Advantage of the situation, and success
fully and gratuitously gave his Ohio
friends pointer in Wall street specula-
tion.

IN his address on Decoration Day
Major Mckinley said: "The Only
debt this government can never pay is
the debt it owes the brave men who
saved the Nation. The soldiers waited,
for their pensions, patiently waited
patriotically waited, while the govern
ment was struggling under the
mighty burden of money debt incurred
by war. They stood firmly for the pay
ment of that debt, they resisted every
form Of repudiation, under any guise.
They have saved the country in war,
they helped TO keep its financial honor
free from stain in peace. The great
war debt is almost paid. Who shall
say that the government obligation
shall not be as scarcely kept?" The
American people will continue to
stand squarely behind such sentiment.

Is the first time in many years that the
Treasury has had deficit.
The Treasury officials arc not disturbed
by the situation and say that Unole Sam

1t is pointed out that this does noS IN
clude $23,627, ,412 OF government funds

100000 Of fractional silver. 1t Is esti-
mated that the receipts of the Treasury

exceed the expenditures, and there will
probably be a surplus Of 100000 by

Johns custom to refer all people looking
for match to me.
"When Dougherty and Slavin called
upon Sullivan and me in St. Louis 5ulli-

John was under Is mouths contract
with mo, but at the end of that time ii
he, Slain, was still in the ring ana an
undefsuted man, Sullivan would give
him match. Slavin said he he was sat
isfed, and we parted good friends. This
is the understanding between Sullivan
and Slevin, and all these stories amount
toipothing.
you can, however, say that Sullivan
will make n reply to these challenges

Slavin solely as an advertising dodge
to help his Australian tour. Still a
majority Of sports here would back Sui
