His Opinion of the Various Strikes Now
in Progress.
CHICAGO. Aug. 24.-Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation of
Labor, is in Chicago. II was in Home
stead during the strike," he said, "and
was there again only few days ago,
and I can say truthfully that the men
will come out best in the end. The
Carnegie company is making a great
show of doing business, but practically
it is doing nothing. The only way the
end may be averted is that Carnegie
may close his mighty plant, which I
don't think is probable
"In relation to the trouble in Tennes-
see," said Mr.. Gompers, ''that strike
will deal the death blow of the lease
SYSTEM just as the Homestead strike
dealt the death blow to Pinkertonism.
I am heartily in sympathy with the min
ers. I have seen the men shot down
there just like dogs. The strike at Buf-
falo I am not so familiar with, though
have just come through there and
stopped off Day. I am very much
afraid that the strike will spread all
over the country. It is now the calm
before the storm. No one can tell ex-
actly what may happen, but I am afraid
the storm cloud will bul st over Chicago
and the entire West in few days. The
fremen will cooperate with the switch
men and also the Brotherhood of Train
men if necessary. If they do, then tho
railroads will be forced to give in"

Convert to Anti-Pinkertonis

NEW YORK, Aug. PA special to
The World from Buffalo says that Third
Vice President H.W. Webb, of the New
York Central railroad, has become
convert to anti-Pinkertonism. He be-
lieves that recourse to the regularly con-
stituted authorities in times of troubles
is the right course, and when the men
struck he says he had all the private
detectives removed from the scene of
disturbance, and appealed to the sheriff,
and from him to the governor. AS
consequence the property was placed
under the protection of the authorities,
and that protection has been ample and
satisfactory.

New York always goes Democratic when
there is harmony in the party. was in
New York about ten days ago and know
from personal contact with the leaders

saloons at this place have been closed
and no one is allowedin the streets after

Affairs of the Order Finally
Placed in the Hands Of a
Receiver.
Gross Mismanagement Proved
and the Officials Severely ..I
Criticized.
The Insurance Business Will Be
Discontinued and Matters
Closed Up.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 24.-The Iron
Hall is now in the hands of receiver in
the person of James F. Failey, a well
known resident of this city and di-
rector Of the Merchants National bank.
The inevitable end came late in the
afternoon. The incident of the morning
in court was the production of resolu-
ton of the supreme sitting practically
lndorsing the "investment'' of $4,000 Of
the orders funds in certain worthless se-
curities by J. Harry Hayes, Of the Mu-
tual bank.
Supreme Cashier Davis was again
placed on the stand and produced num-
Der of additional telegraphic orders
from Somerby to send him money for
Legislative work. He vowed that upon
several occasions Somerby had positively
ordered him to send large sums TO the
cashier of the Mutual bank, thus ex-
planning the orders very large deposits
there. After this testimony the plain
tiffs rested their case at noon and on
their request q court bailiff was ordered
to take charge of the orders offices to
prevent the removal Of papers. The de-
Tense offered no testimony except q
couple of letters. They filed an amend
ment to the complaint and their counsel
pleaded for time to prepare for argument
but the court cut them short. Judge
Taylor said the mismanagement of tho
order clearly brought out in the evidence
made the appointment of a receiver his
only course. He also took occasion to
severely criticise the supreme officers Of
the order. A long order was read ap-
pointing receiver and giving him jur-
isdiction over all the moneys and prop
erty in this and other states. The order
was approved by the court. Judge Tay-
lor said he would fix the bond at $780,
600, remarking that "that would cover
the amount of assets in Indianapolis for,
if am any judge of human nature, he
will never realize five cents on the dol
lar from the Philadelphia affairs" Judge
Howe was granted ten days to file bill
of equity to&amend the complaint and
sixty days to except to the evidence.
An appeal bond was fixed at $3.50, 200.
The receiver will not continue the order
in its insurance business. No further
assessments will be called and the orders
affairs will be wound up as soon as pos
] sible.

A Big Contract.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.-News
comes from Lima, Peru, that the firm
of Blk & Brill, of San Francisco, has
secured the government contract for
rebuilding grand market at the
Peruvian capital, to cost between $780, :
900 and 81, 100000. The architect is A.
Page Brown, of San Francisco, who has
designed an ornamental structure, with
spacious colonnades below and hoggias
around the tower, which is similar to
the Grizelda tower of Madison Square
Garden. This big contract is note
worthy as the first which an American
firm has secured in Peru in many years,
all such work being gobbled by English
and German firms.

SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. 24.-The strike
of the Lackawanna switchmen at Buffalo
and the laying off Of crews at Elmira
has caused considerable excitement in
this city. AL the evening there were
gathered groups of switchmen and train
men discussing the situation, but what
their line of action will be is not deter
mined. It was general mystery as to
what took the Buffalo switchmen from
their posts and until this is fully known
no positive action will be taken in this

An Immense Parade the Lead
ing Feature of the Day at
Kansas City.
Fully Twelve Thousand Uni
formed Knights Participate
in the Event.
Beginning of the Business Ses-
sion of the Supreme Lodge
of the Order.

KANSAS C1rY, Aug. 24.-Promptly at
4p. m. the big Pythian parade started
from Fifteenth street and Woodlawn
avenue. While there was no count kept
on the marchers it is estimated that
$4,000 were in line 1t was steady
of the march light rain began falling.
In point of numbers the parade was the
largest ever seen in the city, but from a
spectacular standpoint it was very poor
and numbers began leaving the street
before the end of the line came in sight.
There were one or two casualties on the
way but the police ambulances, which
followed the line, picked them up and
carried them to places where they could
receive attention. In the evening the
business men of the city took it upon
themselves to have a parade of their
own in honor of the visitors and they
marched to the various hotels of the
city and then to Camp Shaw, where
they serenaded all the knights. Fire
works at Exposition park was the fea-
ture of the evening.
Supreme Lodge in Session.
The supreme lodge Of the Pythian Or
der for the world is in session. At II a.
m. the big doors Of Scottish Rite hall
were opened, the supreme chancellor
and the representatives who compose
this supreme lodge passed through, the
doors closed with bang, the supreme
outer guard assumed his station, and
thus the complicated machinery which
moves the order was put in motion. The
seventeenth session of the supreme lodge
was then in session.
In the preliminaries leading up to the
formal opening of the first session were
included reception to the supreme
lodge at the Grand opera house and ad-
dresses of welcome by the mayor of the
city and the governor Of the state and
by dignataries high in the order Of Pyth-
ian brotherhood. The days session
comprised only that portion of the sched-
ule business which mandatory laws re-
quire to be done at the first days session.
The report of the committee on creden-
tials, grand lodge divisions, and the con-
ferring Of the supreme lodge rank were
tie only matters considered. Until the
departure Of the uniform rank little real
business will be done. Minneapolis and
Louisville are at opposite ends of the
rope in the great tug of war for the next
encampment The Minneapolis men are
pointing with pride to the record of the
Flour City in handling the Republican
national convention.

REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, Aug. a.
Six weeks ago Hans Anderson, a we'll
to-do farmer living in Waterbury town
ship, mysteriously disappeared. 1t was

out of slough, found the CHASTITY re-
mains of Anderson embedded in the

the summer. The coroner quickly sum-
moned jury and verdict of drowning

Switchmen of Two More Roads
Take a Hand in the Buffalo
Tie Up.
Every Union Man on All Roads
Entering the City Is Now
on Strike.
A Lehigh Valley Striker Shot
by a Soldier and Fatally
Injured.

BUFFALO, Aug. "a. -On the side of
the strikers the material events of the
day have been the addition to the ranks
of the switchmen IF the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western and the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg, which COM
pletes the tie up, if such it may be
called, of all the roads entering Buffalo.
The men of the latter road who quit
work late in the afternoon are not nu-
ylerous and their action does not cut any
figure as the road terminates in Buffalo
on the tracks controlled by the Buffalo
Creek Terminal company, whose men
were already out. Its only significance
lies in the fact that the Rochester and
Pittsburg is the great soft coal carrier
for this and the lakes territory and with
it in the strike all the coal roads center
ipg at the port of Buffalo arc involved.
The Lackawanna addition to the in
volved roads is of more Importance as
its tracks and trestles are numerous and
will have to have protection if there is a
continuance Of the tie up.
A Striker Shot.
Late in the afternoon the Twenty-sec-
ond regiment, stationed at the Lift farm,
where the Lehigh Valley docks are To-
Gated, had q brush with strikers, one of
whom was shot and so badly wounded
by soldier that he is likely to die. The
affair grew out of assaults on non-union
switchmen. The soldier who did the
shooting went with the police to make a
statement and was himself made pris-
oner. 1t was not long before Colonel
Clag made it known that the Twenty
SECOND regiment did not relish such
treatment on the part of the civil au-
thorities and he was told to take all the
men necessary to recapture the prisoner
and take possession of the police head
quarters. The order was obeyed with
alacrity. The police released the pris-
oner before his comrades arrived to res
cue him. It may be assumed that the
militia will be kept here until the close
of the week at least, unless the strike is
declared off sooner. On this rests the
expected meeting of the leaders and
their decision determine events to a
great extent and there is no ground to
change the belief of twenty-four hours
ago that the other orders will lind no
ground for joining in general strike.
Allen l.. Richardson, a non-union
switchman, was thrown from the top of
a box car in the Erie yards by strikers
and badly bruised. Thomas Gable, a
non-union man, while working in the
Lehigh yards at East Buffalo, was set
upon by four strikers and badly injured.
Two of the strikers jumped on his stom-
ach while ther companions held the vic
tim down. The injured men are at the
Emergency hospital. No arrests have
been made. .". ,..'

R. q. Horr, of Michigan, and at present
tariff editor of the New York Tribune,
is in this city. He is on his way to
Iowa where he will make several cam
paign speeches. He is satisfied that the
outlook for Republican success was
never better. The Republican party's
doctrine of protection would win the
day. The laboring men would never
countenance ticket which meant free
trade and pauper wages.
