Chief Ramsey Saws AlI lave sLruck.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-Cnief Ramsey, of the
order of Railway relegraphers, says the
strike on the Rock Island road is now on
and that all telegrsphers went out at 10
this morning. General Manager ST. John,
of the Rock Island road, on the other hand,
said to an Associated Press reporter that
everything was moving as usual and the
telegraph business of the road was being
conducted without delay. AS far as he
was advised the men had not gone out;
some men might have struck here aud
there, but he had not received any advices
to that effect. s.ssgss
The great point of interest is whether
the men will succeed in obtaining the active
cooperation of the other organizations of
traipmen. Notwithstanding the claims of
officials of the Rock Island company that
only forty operators went cut. they were
today endeavoring to obtain 200 operators.
Chief Ramsey declared tonight that if the
road employed non union men ii would
simply force strike upon other branches
of the rosd, as the men would not work
with non union operators.

Stephen Hite and Dennis Mccarthy, two
white men, are perhaps the most interest
ing characters. Hite joined the catholic
church about a week ago and has made a

On the 14th Of October Mrs. Pushmsn
gave birth to healthy girl baby, which
during its first week of life got along as
well as could be expected. After tho first

Of this fact she notified the young

making her discovery known she, too was
discharged. Ten days ago a third nurse

Sentiment Regarding Admission
Rapidly Changing.
THE SENATE IS NOW FAVORABLE
Many Republican Senators at last Learn to
Appreciate the Fact That 1t Is an Out
rage to Keep Utah Out
HERALD BUREAU,
CORNER FIFTEENTH AND G STREETS,
WAsuINGr0N d O. Dec 3 lSQs

y II 7
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. s, 1892.
l have the authority of one of the most
prominent Republican members of the
Senate that the sentiment Of that body re-
garding the admission of Utah as state is
rapidly changing. The gentleman is him
self an earnest friend of the territory, and
he tells me that within the past few days
his inquiries have developed the fact that
the majority of the Republican senators
are now favorable TO Urah's admission. He
says his fellow senators have learned to
appreciate the fact that it is gross out
rage to the people of Utah to keep them
out of the sisterhood of states. The Nor
mon bugaboo has ceased to brighten even
the most timorods of the Republican sena-
tors, while the rapidly-increasing popula-
ton and the wealth of the territory fur
nishes a strong argument On the other
hand for statehood.
l find, too, that Senator Fred Dubois is
how looking with favorable eye on the
subject of statehood. although the idaho
senator believes that nothing ought to be
or will be done at this session looking to
Utah's admission. The sentiment is pretty
general in Congress that the Mormons have
abandoned polygamy and the dictation of
their leaders in political affairs. These
were the chief obstacles to statehood for
Utah"
Congress would prefer to wait now I'M
til MIR. Rawlins, The newly elected delegate
from Utah, arrives snd to learn from him
and from the people of Utah generally
what their wishes are. Unless there is a
very strong and consistent opposition from
the Liberals of Utah it is my judgment
that the territory will be admitted at the
next session of Congress, and that the
vote for her admission will be practically
unanimous. II there is an aggressive and
very strong opposition, admission may be
delayed. The supposition is that New
Mexico. Arizona and Utah viii all frame
constitutions next summer, have them
voted on by the people of the respective
territories in the fall, and present them to
Congress in December. This was the
course pursued by Idaho and Wyoming,
because OF the known fact that Congress
desires to examine the constitutions of
prospective states very carefully before
passing on admission"

seemed as II the lrlSnman was no match IN
strength for his antagonist.
The evening opened with a en-round
bout between Barney Mullins and Jerry
Sullivan. 1t was game tight from start
to finish. Mullins was the cooler and the
most clever and two straight left hand
1abs resulted in the referee giving him q
decision at the close of the contest.
The scene at the end of the hrst round
when it appeared that Maher might posi-
bly, win. was one OF the most exciting ever
Witnessed in the annals of pugilism. For

Goddard was covered with blood from al

hei a much stronger man, The difference Of
twelve pounds in weight being in his favor
