Morgan stated that the trouble at
Homestead arose from the fact that
men from other States, collected from
the slums OF the large cities, toughs
and vagabonds, had been hired to take
possession of the works. where the
homestead people commended they had

the idea that they had right to fig

Hawley argued that the questions in

Within the lines of State power, but
said that there was no panacea, no nos

The remarks of Palmer sometime since
that the Homestead workmen were en-

there, were exceedingly distasteful to
him: They had no such right, but the

had been long in his service was a beast,

VIII Ask Arbitration.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Sept. 2S-The
striking operators on the Burlington
Cedar Rapids and Northern railway are
in high feather today. At a union
meeting all all the railroad organiza
tions in this city last night committee
was appointed which will wait upon
the general officers of the road tomorrow
and request that the matter be at once
submitted to arbitration, claiming it to
be unsafe to run trains over the road
with such incompetent men issuing train
orders as are now at the keys. In case
the officials refuse to do this general
strike will in all probability be declared.
The men who were induced to take the
places OF the striker are going out. Five
operators between here and Burlington
struck today. On the other divisions
many others also quit today. Evidently
the strikers will win their fight,

South Dakota SPECIAL to the Pioneer
Press says: The combination meeting
Of the democratic state executive COM
mittee and delegates to form IA state
league of democratic clubs was held
here today. The object was to secure as
nearly as possible the state of the demo
cratic pulse on the question of fusion
which was to be ascertained from the
league delegations. After half days
session permanent organization was Sc
cured. The proceedings Of the execu-
tive committee were conducted with
the utmost secrecy. but prominent
democrats at late hour informed the
Pioneer Press correspondent tnat moth
ing had yet been done as to the fusion
He also admitted that the object of the
meeting was to agree upon proposition
to be submitted to an independent exec
utive committee, and it would probably
yet be formulated. He said the commit
tee would poll about equally on the
straight and fusion action, and the only
question to be decided was the best
means for forcing the democrats to vote
for Weaver and Field electors.

ALBANY, n. V, Sept. 21.-Lobor Com
missioner Peck was in court today TO
show cause why he should not allow an
examination of the tariff circular re-
ceived from New York city manufactur-
ers, on which the commissioner based
his report of the effect of the tariff on
labor and wages. Peck's plea was that
all correspondence conducted 10y him
with employees and operators was under
personal pledge of secrecy. without
which no figures could be obtained, The
same method, he said, prevailed in other
states and the returns he had received
were his own property and not that of
the state. Hence no call upon him for
the basis of his reports should be honor
ed. The case went over until October |.
When Peck was leaving the room he re.
marked: "Well, I've got the first blood.

Will Test "A Range Cattle Law.

CHEYENNE, Sept. 27.-A full test is to
be had Of the law which gives the Wyo-
ming stock commissioners absolute con-
troll over the range business. This stat
ute is the primary cause Of the bitter
war between large and small owners. AS
a measure it was aimed exclusively at
thieves, but by making sales the latter
involved many honest men. Early in the
season rustlers were given to understand
by the field agent of an Omaha
commission house that they would be
guaranteed the proceeds of all consign-
ments. Correspondence on file at the
stock commissioners Office shows that
the Omaha concern warned their man
that he was to be careful and secure no
stolen cattle. Before hearing from head
quarters the field man had bought up a
train of beeves with a lot carrying rustler
brands. When the shipment reached
Omaha fourteen head were given up on
being cut out by the inspectors. That
they we're stolen was acknowledged. Six
ty-seven head were in dispute. These
were seized and sold by the inspector,
who works under the orders of the Wy.
omihr- live. stock board. The commission
house, which is interested financially.
will sue the board for the value of the
sixty seven head. Under the ruling of
the board the person claiming ownership
must prove title. The courts will pass on
this ruling.

The Democratic state Committee Ready
for the Fray-Other Organizations.
BUTTE. Sept. 26.-W. Il. Kenyon has
definitely announced that he accepts the
chairmanship Of the state central CON-
mittee, and he has taken off his coat and
is ready for work. He is enthusiastic in
the matter and determined to make a
strong and vigorous campaign. Col. E.
D. Bannister will assist him in his work.
Tim Collins will be over from Great
Falls tomorrow, and conference will be
held between Messrs. Kenyon. Dixon,
Collins and other prominent democrats
of the state. Headquarters for the state
committee will be opened in day or two.
AS DR.. Hough has stated that he cannot
accept the craftsmanship Of the county
committee the committee will select
man for that Office. Among those who
have been talked of today for that i'm
portant position are George II. Casey, II.
G.. Walton. Tom G. Gray and j. II. Nc
Carthy. Leaders of the party seemed
most favorable to Mr.. Mccarthy, and it
seems likely that he will be asked to ac-
cept the responsible position. Dave
O'Connor will probably be made secre-
tary OF the committee, on account of the
| excellent work which he did in that ca
pacity two years ago, and the valuable
experience which he gained at that time.
The peoples party has prepared two
brilliant strokes which it is believed will
decimate the already weak ranks of the
republicans until they will be out of
sight. Patterson of Colorado has agreed
to be in Montana early in October and
will stump the state. The republicans
will not have recovered from this blow
before Stewart of Nevada will be on
hand, following close on the heels Of Mr.
Patterson. Senator Stewart will also de-
liver several speeches in this state.
George w. Irwin IT,. who is managing
the campaign of the republicans in this
state during the illness of Lee Mantle. is
having terrible hard work trying to keep
enough republicans IN line to make a re.
spectacle showing. 1t is well known
that the peoples party has drawn almost
entirely from the republicans, who are
naturally disaffected at the course OF
that party in dealing with the silver
question. The latest detection to the
republicans comes from Neihart, where
the Neihart Miners union has indorsed
the peoples party ticket AS most of the
Neihart people are republicans this has
created CONSERVATION in the republican
committee. Pat Boland has been dis
patched to Neihart to see what he can
do toward getting the republican miners
of that district back into line.
| The Young Mems Democratic club
will meet this evening to elect Of
ficers to hold during the campaign. f.
o. Dugan, the present president, will
probably be retained in Office. as gen
eral wish to that effect has been eX
pressed among the clubs members.
