BULLETS WERE FLYING.
Plentiful Doses Of Cold Lead For the
Riotous Strikers.
THAT WAS YESTERDAY-TODAY
THERE is NO STRIKE.

The Trainmen Refused to Throw Up Their
Means of Livelihood and Enter the
StrugeIe-Then the Switchmen Gave
Up in Despair and at Midnight the
Strike Was Declared Off-The Strikers
Prospects.
BUFFALO, August 24.-Early this
morning, Sergeant E. B. Howard, of
Company I, twenty third regiment, de-
tected James Hurley and Daniel J. o.
Neill, two strikers, in the act of pulling
pins out of trains in the New York Cen
trail yards, near Broadway. They were
surrounded and forced to surrender at
the point of the bayonet. At Cheekto-
waga, about midnight, several members
of the same regiment saw four men act
ing suspiciously and gave chase. A
number of shots were fired by the
soldiers and two of the men gave them
selves up. The other two escaped. The
prisoners were taken to the court in
this city this morning and held for the
grand jury.
Sheriff Beck says: ''Under the present
circumstances it would be unwise to re-
move the troops. We are now in the
most serious part of the business"
This afternoon, Mr.. Sargent of the
Firemen's s Order, in conversation with an
Associated Press correspondent, said:
''If the firemen upon one of these roads
had grievance it would be presented to
the lodge of that road. If deemed by the
lodge of sufficient importance for action
the matter would go to the protective
board of the lodge. If by this board the
matter was regarded as important it
would be sent to the board of adjust
ment of the system on which the griev-
ance arose. If it passed that board the
matter would be brought to my atten-
ton. Then, together with the protective
board of the lodge in which the griev-
ance arose and the board of adjustment
of the system, would seek in all honor
able ways to bring the men and officials
to an understanding If / failed in that,
I might then, if it seemed wise, order a
strike, provided two-thirds of the mem
bers affected declared themselves in fav-
or of it. If I should order strike with
out these steps being taken, the men
might demand my authority. With this
procedure understood, want to say that
no grievance of any character has been
presented to me here by any subordinate
lodge, nor any individual members, and
think these statements make clear the
position of the Firemen's Brotherhood as
an organization"

HAMBURG, August 24.-The authori-
ties in this city, in response to inquiries
by the American. Consul, admit that the
cholerine here is true Asiatic cholera.
The consul at once telegraphed to the
State Department in Washington. The
Imperial Board of Health has appointed
DIR. Koch and DR.. Rahts to confer with
the authorities in Hamburg in regard to
the cholera and to arrange measures to
combat the disease. The disease is in
all parts of the city, the suburbs, and
along the harbor. Several streets have
been closed. The thermometer regis
tered 81 degrees in the shade today. In
Roman Catholic churches prayers have
been offered for the abatement of the
heat and the disease.

period between August 18th and yeSter-
day. 219 cases of suspected cholera were
reported. OF this number, Is patients
died.
He East Prussia Suffers.
BERLIN, August 23.-Several suspi-
cious cases are reported from Emden,
where, in spite of the utmost precau-
tions, cholera has made it's appearance.
A quarantine ship, bearing a yellow
flag, has been stationed in the port for
some time, but in spite of it some Rus
sian raftsmen have been permitted to
land.
The alarming condition in East Prus-
sia, Silesia and Posen remains un-
changed. The epidemic seems to have
full sway in the provinces near the Rus
sian frontier. There is lack of proper
means of disinfection, and the cholera
barracks, which have to be erected at
the cost of the communities, are insufi-
cient.
Russian Pri1grims Turned Back.
VIENNA, August 23.-Over two thou
sand Russian pilgrims on their way to
Galicia have been refused admission by
the government officials on the frontier.
The majority of them came, however, by
way of Prussia, and are now isolated in
in Szezakorn. They will be thoroughly
disinfected, and returned to Russia. The
cholera epidemic in the districts of
Lemberg and Brody is increasing. Two
hundred and twenty-seven deaths are re-
ported from Eastern Galicia.s

THE AGONY OVER.
The Switchmen's Strike Was Declared Off
at Midnight.

at Midnight.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 24.-Grand
Master Sweeney of the switchmen, Grand
Master Sargent of the firemen, Chief
Clark of the conductors and Chief Will
kinson of the trainmen held conference
here this afternoon. Mr.. Sweeney set
forth at length the position in which he
and his men were placed. Mr.. Sargent
stated that his men should not go out on
a sympathetic strike unless all the rail-
road associations did so. Mr.. Clarke
said the conductors had no grievance.
While he believed the demands of the
switchmen were just there would be no
strike unless to redress the wrongs of
the conductors. Mr.. Wilkinson felt that
the demands were just but his order
could not consent to cooperate by sym
pathetic strike. The conference then
broke up and Mr.. Sweeney held con-
ference with Master Workman Warranty
of the switchmen's union of this city and
three other repre- entatives of the strikers
Soon after II the newspaper men were
summoned to the conference. Mr.. Sween-
ey said: ga conclusion has been reached
the switchmen and that is that the
trouble is ended at midnight tonight.
That is all | have to say" He added:
''Five hundred and fifteen switchmen
can't fight 5000 troops and four or five
railroad companies. If any men had a
grievance these men did, 1t is believed
that about 80 per cent. of the idle switch
men will be re-employed.
Engineers Will Not Strike.
BUFFALO, August N.-Chief Arthur,
of the Engineers Order, has indie ated
to Mr.. Sweeney of the switchmen that it
will be impossible for him to attend the
proposed conference of the executive
heads of the labor organizations. This
is construed to signify that the engineers
will not become involved in the switch
mems difficulties.
