and Erie Road.

Tucker of the Chicago and Erie Road adj
mitted this morning that the road is prac-
tically tied up by the striking train dis
patchers.
The only train that went out this morn
ing was the mail for Columbus, Ohio.
Outside of the New York train and one
or two freight trains, everything is tied
up on this division of the road extend
ing to Salamanca, n. Y.
Late this afternoon Manager Tucker
said: There are six dispatchers and
from fifteen to thirty conductors on a

not moving any freight trains, and shall
not do so until the situation has devel-
oped."
He also declared that Scott and Hunt
ington, the train dispatchers, were dis
charged for dereliction of duty, to enforce
whose reinstatement the strike on the
Erie road was begun. They will not be
taken back under any circumstances.
A special dispatch to the NeacS from
Fort Wayne, Ind, says that the train
dispatchers' and conductors strike on the
Chicago and Erie road has tied up the
road at that point, and only passenger
trains are moving.
MARION (O.), Jan. 2l.-Not a freight
train is moving on the Chicago and Erie
between Chicago and Marion. The engi-
neers at Marion are ready to 90 out.
Their sympathy is with the strikers, as
the whole trouble seems to have been the
dislike of Superintendent Merrill to
Scott.
The railroad, in anticipation of the
trouble, made arrangements with the
Pennsylvania and p. c. C. and st. Louis
to handle all passenger and perishable
business east and west.
BUFFALO, Jan. 2I.-The Superintend-
ent of the Erie Road of this city said that
nothing was known of the strike reported
from Chicago as extending to Salamanca.
He said that the strike was not likely to
affect the main line of the Erie east of
Salamanca, or between Buffalo and New
York.
ST. PAUL OPERATORS.
CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-The situation to-day
in the st. Paul telegraph operators strike
is rather discouraging for the men, ten of
them having returned to work. Their
committee, however, still seems to think
that the men might yet win.

fed that he was banker, and last spring
purchased silver for speculation. No one

Senator or Representative was concerned;

was after the bill was voted on.

he had done anything wrong, and he
would make that statement before the
committee. He thought he had as much
right to do that as to buy corn and wheat,
or any other commodity, His action had
not been influenced by his interests, be-
| cause it was after the thing was over.
Cameron said he bought it after the
legislation was passed in the Senate.
That David L. Littler managed the mat

to him and told him he could make some
money buying silver; that he Nittler)
was going to buy some. Cameron said
he told Littler to buy some for him, and
that Littler bought and sold it for him.

HOME RULE.
Salisbury Says the Contest is Neither
Won Nor Lost

LONDON, Jan. 21.-Lord Salisbury, in a
political speech at Cambridge, said he
did not believe either that the home rule
contest was on the point of victory, or
that it was dead. He said: ''Many posi-
tons must be carried before home rule is
victorious. Even if the mysterious home
rule bill is passed, it will be our duty to
undo the mischief
MY belief is that home rule owes it's
existence to two very clever men-Glad-
stone and Parnell. While they support
it should give you imprudent advice if

A vigorous struggle is still before you,
The recent home rule rehearsal in Lon
don and Kilkenny proved the Irish
men quite incapable of conduct
ing an Independent parliament. 1t
had further shown the unlimited
power of the priesthood, whose matchless
organization swept down the man who
had been the despot of the whole Irish
movement here and in America. That is
the ruthless organization beneath whose
heel they would place the Protestants by
granting home rule.n

pleasure in noting this evidence of it's

EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Report that He is Attacked With a
Terrible DiSeaSe

BERLIN, Jan. 2l.-An ominous coinci-
dence is mentioned in connection with
the court festivities on Monday night at
Berlin. Emperor William was TO have
made speech, but his physicians in
sisted that he should not, owing to his
sore throat. This was exactly the first
public announcement made recalling the
trouble which brought about the death of
the late Emperor Frederick, and the re-
collection of that fact cast no little gloom
over Monday nights brilliant assembly.
The question suggested to many minds
is whether the young Kaiser has the be-
ginning of the terrible complaint which
gave him the crown at thirty. The Ger
man press dare not hint at such a thing,
but Berlin is full of whispers.

France is rapidly reaching for Tripoh

Tripoi but for the fact that any move in
that direction means war with Turkey,
the Sultan having resolved that Tripoli
shall remain part of his Empire if he has
to fight for it. Italy claims protectorate
over Abyssinia, but French agents have
been trying to win the Abyssinians over
to France, and there is evidence that they
have been partly successful.
