GROVER CLEVELAND.
After His Sunday Rest He Is Hard at Work
in New York City.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Grover Cleve-
land arrived at the Victoria Hotel at
8 o'clock this morning from Gray
Gables and went directly to his room
by the Fifth avenue entrance. He
would not go near the office for he
knew that as early as it was there
would be a few callers. He
was anxious to begin his work.
Even his clerks did not
know that Mr.. Cleveland was in
the house until an hour or so later,
when he sent down the following
message to the information bureau:
II have returned from my Sunday
rest and am attending to letters,
which came in my absence. 1 will
see some of my callers later in the
day." About the first letter
Mr.. Cleveland picked up was
from Chicago manufacturer
of baby carriages. He wanted per-
mission to call one of his new vehicles
the ruth Cleveland" and was will
ing to send Miss Ruth the finest baby
carriage ever made for this privilege.
Mr.. Cleveland handed the Chicago
letter to his secretary without saying
word.
The ex-president was in the midst
of his correspondence when reporter
called and handed him the following
dispatch, dated indianapolis, this
morning: sit is stated mere that
| Governor GRAY will be q member OF
Cleveland's cabinet in the event OF
Democratic success, and that his posi-
ton in the presidents advisory family
will be that of postmaster
general. A friend of the governor
said that he had received positive
information that Cleveland had ten
dered it to Governor Gray if he was
elected and that in commenting on
his administration Of four years age
he said that Indiana would have
been similarly recognized at that
time but for the fact that that
state had furnished the vice presi-
dent" Mr.. Cleveland read it through
twice and then asked the day of the
month. October H." replied the re.
porter. "Now, the election is not to
be held for twenty me days and
you want to know about my
cabinet in case / am elected. Oh
dear, what are you newspaper men
coming to. See here, have an idea, y
and the ex-president laid back in his
chair laughing heartily, Ego and see
q clairvoyant." Mr. Cleveland ex
pc cts to remain in the city a few
days.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, Oct. 17.-Judge
Clark's breast would have swelled
with pride had he been in Gaines
Vile tonight to see the large files OF
loyal Democrats and patriotic Texans
who marched the streets in honor of
him and in support of his candidacy.
1t was an inspiring sight,
and one which would have
honored any conqueror. A
more intense enthusiasm could
not exist, a more magnificent demon
stration were impossible. Over 800
stalwart Clark men arrived from
Sherman and Denison on special
train at z O'Clock and these AIDED to
other mighty hosts which had ar
rived during the day were under
march an hour later. Inc
procession started after
O'Clock and was gone an hour,
marching over all the principal
streets. Meantime anvil firing, fire.
works, music and wells made the
night hideous to the Hogg men. The
sidewalks were soon inadequate 1or
the monster crowd and long beore
the speaking crowds of women, men
and children crowded and rushed
over the public square and streets.
Everyone conceded that never before
had any such crowd been seen in
Gainesville.
Governor Throckmorton arrived
yesterday evening and remained all
of today at the house of friend.
Hon. w. w. Poindexter arrived today
at noon. Hon. Dudley Wooten was
expected until this afternoon, when a
telegram was received saying he
would not be present, owing to the
fact that he had been very suddenly
called to Chicago.
The crowd present was variously
estimated at from 5000 to 10000. Gov
Throckmorton was introduced by
Hon. J. H. Garnet and spoke for near.
ly two hours. He was interrupted
every few moments by applause and
anvil firing. His spe ech created much
enthusiasm.

Revolution Imminent in Argentine.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Herald's
correspondent at Buenos Ayers says
there is reason to suspect that the
crew of the Hulk at Rosario from
which large quantity of powder was
recently stolen by masked men were
in completely with the robbers, and
that the powder was taken to be used
in a revolutionary movement. The
government, it is said, proposes to
disarm a large portion of the navy
from motives of economy. There is
an open rupture between President
Pena and General Roca, and dissatis-
faction among the higher army Off
GERS is much increased owing to the
elevation of Mitre to chief COM
mander of the army. Radical clubs
are forming all over the country and
are actively at work. The Buenos
Ayres Herald says the Penas govern
ment has more enemies than Pelli-
grini's, and Argentine can only be re-
deemed by an earnest revolution
against the presidents gang of off
.cials.

The Paris Boys Join.

Special to the Statesman.
PARIS, Tex, Oct. 1.-THE telegraph
force of the Santa Fe here joined the
strike last night. The operators are
joint employees of the Frisco and the
Santa Fe and are still at work, but
are handling only Frisco work.
All freight trains south are laid
out and passengers are running by
card only. A man was sent here to
work in the place of the strikers, but
did not like the sound of the things
well enough to stay, and left
on the first train. To-day it is
reported in telegraphi3 circles
here that the strike will ex-
tend to the entire Santa Fe system
if necessary to win the fight. 1t is
also said that there is danger of the
trouble extending to the Cotton Belt
and Iron Mountain, as the arrange
ment of schedule now pending in st.
Louis is hanging fire suspiciously.

And Threaten to Organize Gang That Will

Special to the Statesman.
SHERMAN, Tex, Oct. l7.-Ten pris-
oners in the county Jail here escaped
at o'clock this morning by filing in
two a steel bar of the grating sur
rounding the rotary cell, then filing
an iron bar to the jail window, the
opening of which was only seven by
fourteen inches, and some of the pris-
oners were compelled to strip off their
clothes to get through. The escape was
not discovered until 1880 a. m, when
the guards went to feed the prisoners.
Eight of the ten were United States
prisoners sent from Paris. No trace
of the escapes has been found and
they have probably already reached
the wilds of the Indian Territory. The
prisoners decided before they left to
meet in one week at certain point
and organize gang of bandits that
would put to shame the famous Dalton
gang.

STRIKE OF TELEaRAHERs.
All the Operators Of the Gulf, Colorado and

Santa Fe Walk Out.
Special to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, Tex, October 16.-Pre--
cisely at O'Clock tonight in obedience
to an order issued by G. b. Clark,
chairman of the grievance committee
and Grand Chief Telegrapher D. G.
Ramsey, the telegraph operators of
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
way left their keys. 1t is understood
that this strike affects the telegraph
service of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe system extending from Gal
weston to Purcell in the Indian Terri
tory. The ground of contention be.
tween the Santa Fe and the
photographers Is one of wages. On the
Goth of September the telegraphers-
submitted schedule of rules and
regulations to the Santa Fe manage
mept fixing the minimum salary Of
operators at 1856 per month and IL
hours to be the maximum of days
labor. This schedule to include train
dispatchers as well as men In the en-
ploy of the company who understoodN
Biography but were not employed as
such. This the company refused to-
accept and on the 30th of September
submitted q schedule of rules and
regulations to the telegraphers
fixing the minimum salary at 500 per
month, days labor not TO exceed
twelve hours, this to apply to all men
doing telegraphic work, except train
dispatchers, who were regarded as
officials of the company and not SUBJ
ject to such schedule. This Is the
same schedule Of rules and regulations
In force on the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe, the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco, the Northern Pacific, the Union
Pacific and the Southern California
railway systems, and Is the highest
minimum salary allowed by any
railroad company in the
country, except Ia the noun
famous parts of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe, the Union Pa
cific and the Northern Pacific systems
in the far West. After numerous COM
ferences over THO schedule submitteGg
by the company, 1t was rejected by
the grievance committee OF the tele-
graphers, who today submitted an
amended schedule, fixing the mini
mum salary at $50. This was not ac-
cepted by the Santa Fe management
and the telegraphers walked out at 7
o'clock tonight.
The telegraphers only gave the
company twenty-four hours notice In
which to accede to their demands
though they were assured that what
ever schedule ofrules and regulations
might be adopted should be dated and
be effective from October 18th. While
the company anticipates serious in
convenience should the entire tele-
graph force 60 out 1t expects however
to get its trains through OH schedule
time.

railway company and the strikers
stand pat Oh the positions assumed
last night and no efforts have been
made by either looking to settle

say that they gave the management
of the company their ultimatum yes

confident that they will win the fight.
The management of the company
are equally as confident of success. In

TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE.
THE SANTA FE SYSTEM IN KANSAS
LAID UP.
All Operators Strike in Sympathy with
Their Texas Brethren Manager Robin
son Unfolds Long Tale Explani-
tory Of His Side Of the Case.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 17.-All tele-
graph operators of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn, about 300 in all, struck this
morning in response to an order from
Chief Ramsay of the Order of Railway
Photographers. The trouble ia on the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railway
in Texas which is operated by the
Santa Fe and the Santa Fe men have
struck in sympathy with the Texas
operators. Train dispatchers on the
Santa Fe propose taking stock trains
in transit to division points when
they will leave their keys also.
In an interview this afternoon Gen
eral Manager Robinson said the strike
on the main system appears to be the
result of hoax telegram sent out by
an operator named Baker at Dodge
city. An agreement was made few
months ago between the officers of the
Santa Fe system and Ramsay, chief of
the Order of Railway Photographers,
and signed by both parties to the COM
pact, which provides that thirty days
notice shall be given by either party
to the other requesting change in
same. Gin regard to the strike on the
Texas division I will say the company
has always been willing to meet and
confer with them about grievances.
Mr.. Wheeler, general manager of the
Texas lines three weeks ago tele.
graphed Ramsey that he wished to
have him come to Galveston to
adjust grievance. Ramsay avered
that it would be impossible for him to
go before the latter part of the month
or the first of next, so telegraphed
Tobey to 60 in his stead. This was
about ten days ago. Wheeler wired
Ramsay that so many interests were
involved and matters at stake so i'm
portant that he wished Ramsay
would give the matter his personal
attention and General Manager Rob.
inson would meet with him at con-
venient time. Ramsay telegraphed
Wheeler that he would withdraw
Iobey. have been waiting for him
No fix the time when it would be con-
venient for him, which I supposed
would be the last of this month.
1 had been absent in the Panhandle
country and did not return to Topeka
until yesterday morning. went out
for drive and did not return home
until about 1880 o'clock. l found that
telegram which had arrived in
cipher during the night had been
translated and delivered at my house
after I started out for ride. The
telegram stated that Tobey, acting
for Ramsay, had given Wheeler, man
ager of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe, until Sunday noon to agree to the
telegraphers' schedule. Wheeler had
asked an extension of time. Sunday
noon he could reach me. AS it hap
pened 1 did not receive the
telegram until after the time for
declaring the strike was past. AT II
o'clock Sunday morning it appears
Tobey presented still another schedule
to Wheeler, demanding that it be
agreed to by noon. was greatly sur.
prised at all this, because I under.
stood that Mr.. Ramsay and myself
would confer in the matter. The com.
pany has been willing to make an
agreement with the operators similar
to the one existing on the main line Of
the system"
