svitchmsn on Strike.

BUFFALO, August 13.-The switch
men employed on the New York, Lake
Erie and Western, the Lehigh Valley
and Buffalo Creek are on strike. The
object is virtually to obtain higher
wages, although the question OF q ten
hour day is involved and OF necessity
becomes auxiliary to the wage question.
Grand Master Sweeney, in an inter
view to-day, said: THE adjustment
asked by the men was very reasonable.
They simply asked TO be placed on the
same basis as the men IN three OF the
largest yards In the city, the Delaware,
Lsckawanns and Western, the Nickel
Plate and the Lake Shore.
"a committee was appointed and
every means possible adopted TO have the
trouble settled without resorting 70 e1-
treme measures. The Erie and Buffalo
Creek roads were included in the re-
quest. Nothing could be done with the
officials, however, though the commit
tee went to the highest OF them. The
strikers were in secret session to-day at
their headquarters.

Corbett, the pugllist, who is matched to
fight John L. Sullivan, made his ap-
pearance at Taylor's Opera House to-
night, in VIM. Brady's play, After

youths. Corbett boxed four lively
rounds with Jack McVey in the Concert
Hall scene Of the piece and showed up
ia fine form.
The audience was divided IN its SYM
pathies, and while Corbett was repeat
edly cheered, numerous admirers of
Sullivan made their presence felt by
cat calls and by loud applause for 'the
champion OF the world"
The bills announced that this would
be Corbett's only public appearance be-
fore the fight in September.

BERLIN, August 13.-Emperor Will
liam has decisively opposed the pro-
posed Berlin exhibition. Tonight the
Reichrunzei0er states that the Emperor,
acting on report from Chancellor Won
Csprivi, has Withdrawn all official sup
port from the scheme.
In this instance the Emperor, who
personally favored the holding OF the
exhibition, has bowel down before the
will OF the majority. An Influential
section OF the press, chiefly National,
Liberal and Freissigne organs have
been indulging In outSpoken attacks
upon the ministers for submitting
To the will OF the Emperor regard
less 70 their duties OF their country and
upon the Emperor for exercising des-
potic sway over ever Ministerial De-
partment.
The TosSiSchs Zeitlmg risks prosecu-
tion by the publication Of an article un-
der the caption Of The Crown aud the
People," protesting against the personal
bias OF the Emperor In swaying AL Inn
portant affairs OF state policy.
The Ministers slavishly ask, says the
FossiSchC Zeitlnlg, not what Is best for
the country, but what will please the
Emperor. Everywhere the imperial
person is brought forward and ths
responsibility OF the cabinet Is more
and more dsregarded. This. ths
paper says, is q dangerous policy be-
cause public opinion is far from approy-
ing certain measures supposed 20 have
their origon with the Emperor.
Ministers having no other ambition
beyond the carrying out OF the Glll OF
the Crown are hardly endurable even in
an aristocratc State. German states
men ought 10 resign N they ind their
protests against the EmperOr's designs
made impotent The article reflects
with fidelity the feeling which peryades
all classes.
Though the energy and good inten-
tions OF the emperor are appreciated.
discomfort with the imperious inter
meddling prevails everywhere. The
instability OF public affairs, the con-
stant change OF high officials, the FREE
quent removals OF military officers, the
sudden turns ia policy, now radically
liberal and anon extremely conserya-
tive, has aroused a general longing for n
firm hand and for answering methods
Of Government, even II they are somes
times oppressive as under Prince Bis
marck. Officials and the public then,
knew what to expect They had conf.
dence that the measures proposed would,
be carried through az all risks.
Some satisfactory assurances baye al
ready reached the foreign Office here
through the London Embassy c0ncern-
ing Mr.. Gladstone's foreign policy. To-
days official dispatches announce n pro-
bable Entente between Mr.. Gladstone
and Lord Rosebery, the former assent
ing 10 continuance OF Lord SalIsbury's
foreign policy on its main poin.s.

REACTION SETTING IN.

Many Now Believe the Borden Girl Inno-
cent of the Crime for Which She is
Imprisoned.
FALL RIVER, MASS, August 13.-
The reaction in the Borden cae has setin
and to-day the popular feeling is quiet.
There is very little violent discussion
going on IN the street, and what few
cases seen were the outgrowth of hard
expressions against the imprisoned girl.
Three days ago the popular cry was that
Miss Lizzie was a criminal and should
be placed behind the prison
bars. To-day, although the
District Attorney and Judges have
passed their opinions on the evidence,
there are many thoughtful and infuen-
tial men who believe a trial will sub
stanJiate Miss Borden's proteStations OF
innocence. There is now but one po-
liceman at the Borden homestead, and
he is doing patrol duty on the street 10
prevent curious people from annoying
the family.
There win not be a great many wit
nesses summoned for the preliminary
hearing unless the present plans are
changed.

TAUNTON, MASS, August 13.-Miss
Borden passed a comfortable night, and
this morning was cheerful. Miss Jen-
ningS and Miss Emma Borden came up
this morning and the former, after
brief conversation, went away, leaving
Emma in the cell with her sister. The
two conversed in low tones for some
time, but there were no tears, no COM
planning, aud the whole affair had the
appearance OF a simple everyday visit
between friends. During part OF the

sewing which she had brought with her.
Ii is understood that under no circum-
stances will she open her mouth. Mr..
Jennings, her counsel, will do all talk

the Duquesne Workmen.
HOMESTEAD, August 13.-The effort
OF 40 Amalgamated men to strike at

to have proven a complete failure.
This morning 700 men went to work as

New YORK, August 13.-An evening

A prominent Tammany officer says
that Senator Hill will take the stump

ANOTHER CLUE

To the Murderers OF the BOrdens-Mr.
Borden Was the Chief Prosecutor of
Lot OF MutinOus seAmen Several Years
Ago, and They SwOre Vengeance.
LYNN, Mass, August 13.-The Lynn
Item will to-day publish a story stating
that Andrew J. Borden, OF Fall River,
gave the principal testimony that con-
victed the rugleaders in the mutiny on
the schooner Richard J. Borden,
while on the voyage from foreign port
to this country; that he and his wife
we're on the vessel; that his testimony
in the courts was declared by the sailors
20 be false aud exaggerated, and that
the men who suffered by it vowed ven
geance against him. Most II not all OF
them have been released, and it is sub
mitted that several OF them were In
Fall River at the time Of the murder.
Less than a dozen years ago, the ship
Jefferson Borden bound from foreign
port TO this country was seized by the
mutineers who claimed TO have been
cruelty treated By the officers, aud In
the general struggle and confusion the
Captain was struck with marlin spike
and killed.
The ringleaders Of the mutiny, five In
number, were Overpowered and placed
I'm irons, and when the vessel arrived in
port they were brought before the
courts for trial. Every man swore that
IN the general fight that occucred it
was absolutely impossible TO have To-
Gated the murderer. By the aid OF the
English Government, three OF them who
af rnInQgnn
escaped with light terms OF imprison-
ment. Not 80 with the two Americans
in the crowd. They were declared
guilty by the courts and sentenced to
death, but later President Cleveland
commuted their sentence to imprison-
ment for life In the State prison at
Thomaston, Ne.
The principal testimony which the
courts took under consideration and
acted upon, was given by gentleman
who was on board with his wife at the
time, and who was the principal owner
OF the ship. Against this man the
prisoners long ago swore they would
have revenge. That man was Andrew
J. Borden, OF Fall River, who with his
wife has gone down to death by assas-
sins hand.
Petitions for q pardon were signed by
all trade and labor organizations Of the
country and presented TO President
Harrison, and 1t is believed that the
men az ThOmsston were pardoned about
eight months ago. II these men were
releasee and the fact can be established
that they, or any OF their comrades in
the mutiny, were in and about Fall
River the day Of the murder, 1t may
mean the release Of Lizzie A. Borden,
the victim Of circumstantlal evidence.

FALL RIvER, MASS, August 10
The most noticeable feature In the
Borden case to-day was an expression
made by Bridget Sullivan during an in
terview this afternoon. She Remarked:
Well don't wonder that they arrested
Lizzie Borden"
As Miss Sullivan is the most impor-
taut Government witness, her state
ment has startled the friends OF the
imprisoned girl. The remark undoubt-
edly represents the servants view of
the case. A. J. jennings, counsel
for Miss Lizzie, has been able 10 gain no
inkling Of the testimony ELECTED at the
inquest. A great many people feel that
the government should have acquainted
Mr.. Jennings with It's side Of the case.
1t is reported that the prosecution
will present but little Of its case at the
preliminary hearing, keeping back, II
possible, the most important evidence.

HE WAS PROUD,
But He Was Poor, So He Took His Life
TO End His Troubles.

DENVER, COL, August 13.-Gen.
Gano Dunn, formerly OF New York city,
who shot himeelf in the head last night
in an attempt to commit suicide, died
this afternoon at ST. Luke's Hospital.
The cause Of his act still remains
somewhat Of a mystery, as the General
refused to make any statement before
dying. He left few lines in note
addressed to Fanny B., in which he
talks Of disappointed love, etc. This is
thought to have been the product OF a
partially diseased mind, as he was not
known to have been ladies man, and
Fanny BIS identity cannot be eStab-
lished.
Gen. Dunn was without money, and
being OF proud disposition would not
work at manual labor. He made pre-
tense Of asSociating with the upper ten,
and claiming 10 have run out Of
funds and being unable to keep his
social standing, he ended his trouble by
taking his life. The General was about
60 years Of age, and is said to have a
wife and two sons in New York.
