GRAND MASTER WILKINSON


or the Trainmen says he AIay Not Intez-
fore With che swisohmen.
Cn1oAoo, August 15.-Grand Master
Wilkinson, Of the Brotherhood Of Rail.
way Trainmen, passed through Chicago
to-day on his way to Buffalo. He said
that his organization would not inter-
iere with the striking switchmen, as it
did some time since during the troubles
on the Chicago & Northwestern road in
this city, II the switchmen could show
that the present strike was q move au-
thorized by the national officers of the
swltchmen's union.
"When We had q strike some time
ago," said Mr.. wilkinson, II told Grand
Master Sween ey, Of the switchmen, that
the strike was authorized. In this
case, have received no word from him
or any other officer OF his organization
regarding the troubles in Buffalo. III
hear nothing from them, must con.
clude that the strike is not authorized
by the Switchmen's Union, and we will
follow the tactics we pursued in the
Chicago & Northwestern strike. The
trainmen cannot allow an irresponsible
band of strikers to throw them out OF
work in this way. II, on my arrival at
Buffalo, find that the high officers Of
the switchmen's Union have endorsed
or ordered the strike, the trainmen will
do nothing against them"

HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL LEAGUE,
NgW YoRK Cry, August 10, 1892.

NRW YORK CtrY, August 10, lS4z.
The date Of the Republican National
League convention, called heretofore
for Buffalo, New York, September ], is
hereby postponed until Thursday, Sep
tember 10. This postponement, which
IS done with the concurrence aud ad-
vice OF Chairman Carter and the ma
tionRl committee, is made because the
earlier date will prevent the attendance
ot large number Of Rep ublican clubs
in the Western states, whore the hat-
vest OF the various crops will not have
been finished by September l.
BY the middle OF September the
party will have perfected its organiza.
ton in all portions OF the country,
many new clubs will have been organ
lied aud a much larger number of cam.
paign marching and uniform clubs will
be able to attend the national conveu-
ton.
The cooler weather of the later date
will also be more favorable and induce
alargor general attendance than a con.
yention held in the closing days Of Au.
gust.
The national committee Of the league
calls upon all subordinate clubs to join
actively in stimulating the organization
OF marching clubs to the end that
rivalry between the different state or
ganizations in the numberof clubs sent
to the national convention may make
the proceeding at Buffalo more inter.
esting, and enable it to give a still
greater energy to the important CAM
paipn now IN pro9rea9.

night. Rain fell in torrents and the
enormous quantity of water precipitated
caused the river Arve to rise suddenly to
great heighth. The swelling of the

OF the country along the banks and great
damage was done at many places. The
worst disaster was at St. Gervais, the
famous health resort. The VILLAGE was
practically swept away and it is
reported that 200 residents and visitors
were drowned. The celebrated baths
were destroyed and at least half the
buildings in the place demolished The
