IT WAS ALL A MISTAKE.
A Bogus Despatch Caused the Strike on
the Atohison Road.


A Bogus Despatch Caused the Strike on
the Atchison Road.
TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 1S.-A bogus
despatch purporting to come from Grand
Chief Ramsey, of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers caused 900 operators and
train despatchers on the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe to desert their posts yes.
terday. The despatch was as follows;
''To all operators and despatchers-In
view of the fact that the Gulf, Colorado
& Santa Fe is operated by the Santa Fe,
it is thought best that all operators on
the Santa Fe should 90 out as well, as
the company refuses to concede the con.
ditions on the Gulf, Colorado g Santa
Fe schedule"
The walk-out resulted in the stoppage
of all trains, and not wheel was turned
until the difficulty was settled.
General Manager Robinson, in speak
ing of the unexpected strike, said that it
was all mistake. He claims that Chief
Ramsey did not write the despatch that
resulted in the walk"out, but that it was
sent by an operator in Dodge City named
johnson, who did it as a joke
Last night a despatch from Grand
Chief Ramsey, stating that the order to
go out was bogus, was sent along the
line, and the men returned to work
This order did not affect the striking
employees on the Gulf, Colorado 81 Santa
Fe.
General Manager Robinson said this
morning: "The trouble on the Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe is over the com
panys rules and regulations, and we did
not expect the strike. had expected to
meet Mr.. Ramsey to advise with him
about that matter as soon as we could
arrange a date"

THE BRITISH FLAG INsULTEO.
An Outrage Perpetrated in New York BY
an Unknown Man.

New York, Oct. 1S.-It has just been
learned that an outrage on the British
flag was perpetrated in Wall street on
Friday.
About o'clock, when the street was
crowded with people going to their homes,
after the days business, an unknown
man dashed up the stoop leading to the
building of the Bank of British North
America, No 52 Wall street, and seizing
hold of an English flag flying alongside
of the American emblem tore it from its
fastenings in front Of the building, tore
the flag to shreds, trampled it under his
feet, all the while muttering maledictions,
broke the staff into pieces and walked
away.
The crowd looked on in amazement at
the acts of the man, and although his
proceeding were heartily denounced no
one interfered.
The man disappeared and no trace of
him could be found, or anything which
would lead to his identity.
The flag was part of the decorations
on the building in honor of the Colum-
bian celebration.

The Condition in THAT state Not Enti rely
Satisfactory to the state Committee
TRENToN, ~ j.. Oct. 49, Everything
that has been attempted in the way Of
harmony by the Democratic managers
has so far proved a failure. Governor
Abbett's presence in the canvass prevents
the patching up of factional differences.
His enemies in his own party proclaim
their intention of laying him on the
shelf. The anti-Abbett members of the
committee are taking little interest in
the Gubernatorial campaign and seldom
visit headquarters. In fact il is difficult
for Chairman McDermott TO get a quorum
to attend the regular meetings. What
ever is to be done, for nothing has been
done yet in the way of an active canvass
will have to be transacted by Gov. Alb
belts friends, who have control of the
headquarters and the funds. Appeals
are pouring in begging the committee to
get Judge Werts to write an open letter
pledging himself. in case of election, to
repudiate Albeit and repeal all the acts
of the present administration.
Since the Newark "News" came out for
John Kean, ir.. for Governor its old
contemporaries have been jumping on it.
They charge that the "News" misunder-
stands Wert's attitude. To disprove this
charge the ''News" has published para
graph referring to Mr. Werts' position in
the campaign, in which it says that Mr..
Werts was nominated, despite his pro-
tests, on a platform which indorsed the
scandalous record of bossism which has
made the people of New Jersey groan in
anguish of spirit, and that he is likely tC
yield in the future to the behests Of the
bosses as he has in the past
