pairing to prevent any importation OF
cholera from the infected European
ports. Orders have been given by the
commissioners to have the fever ship,
Samuel Carlton, ready for hospital use
in the lower bay as soon as received.

by immigrants, but the physicians in
charge will keep o sharp lookout for

BurrA1o, n. Y, August 24.-At mid
night tonight aIr. Sweeney the head of
tho switchmen's order, officially recog-
nired the fact that the strike move
ment of switchmen which was inaug-
urated twelve days ago in this city bad
failed. In the official term of the order,
the strike was declared of. The men
who wero formerly employed as switch
men in tho railway yards will before
daylight be notified by their local
officials that the purpose for which they
quit their employment has not been
accomplished, and they are now at lib
erty to go back to their places, if they
can.
The beginning Of the end, or what
was until Sunday an almost general
strike of switchmen in the Buffalo rail-
road yards, was marked by Mr.. swee-
ney's appeal to the heads of orders of
railway workers to meet him in confer
ence in this city. Mr.. Sweeney was
brought face to face with the fact, as
stated in these dispatches Sunday night,
that there was no longer any strike OF
switchmen in the Buffalo yards.

toward the other organizations of the
railway workers, and his invitations to
Messrs. Sargent, Clark, Arthur, Wilkin-
son and Thurston were the visible indi-
cations that the switchmen must con-
fess defeat without fraternal aid. Be-
fore noontime to-day each OF these Ia
Dor leaders, save Messrs. Arthur and
Thurston, were in the city.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon, Messrs.
Sweeney, Clark and Wilkinson pro-
ceeded to the Hotel Broezel. Arriving
at room Is, which was that occupied by
Mr.. Sargent, Of the tisemen, that gen-
tleT N received them at the threshold,
ushered them in and closed and boltcd
the door. There was little formality in
the procedure Of conference. Mr..
Sweeney was asked at once to set forth
the position in which Ae and his mon
were placed. He did so at lengthiand
in detail.
AT the conclusion OF Mr.. Sweeney's
statements, Mr.. Sargent reiterated what
he had already stated, that his mon
should not so out on sympathetic
strike unless all railway organizations
did SO. Ittllis was case that demands
ed that general isauc should be madc
by all organized railway labor, then he
would bc in line with his liremen; 9TH
erwise tho 1remen would be kept IN
boiling water.
Mr.. CLARK stated that the conductors
had no grievance, and that whilc they
believed tho demands OF the switchmon
wero just, there would bo no strike OF
conductors save 70 redross the wrongs
Of tho conductors.
Mr.. Wilkinson, for tho trainmon, in.
formed the swltchmon'a leader that he
felt that the original demands Of the
switchmen wore fair il ever any de.
mands wero Just, but his order could
not consent to cooperate by sympa-
thesie strike. These statements, hav.
ing been made, Mr.. Sweeney had re-
ceived his ultimatum. Tho conference
broke up about o'clock and
oil save Mr.. Sweeney strolIed together
down tho bsoad staircase TO the lobby.

CERTAIN DEFEAT.

The evident fact that the companies
had resumed the natural conduct Of
their business without the men who
had left their employ with Mr..
sweeney's sanction pressed home to the
grand master workman the conviction
that his local followers had become no
longer striking switchmen, but only
idle men, whose work is the throwing
of switches but whoss positions had
been forfeited without profit to them
selves. Their leader was brought to
see by daily developments in the yards
that II his men were saved at all, some
power beyond his resources or theirs
must be invoked.
At this point the fact should bo stated
which has not before been made public,
as one OF the hampering conditions
which entered into the problem MIR.
Sweeney nd set himself to solve. The
organization Is without reserve and
without money, the leader who has been
trying here to win against the railroads
has found how necessary is bank ac-
count in an organized effort OF labor for
the establishment OF new conditions
which are not acceptable to railroads
with large money reserve.
