CLEVELAND's FINANCES.
The President Worth S25O, 900 Less Than
When He Was Inaugurated.

when He Was lnaugurated.
NEW YORK, Oct 24-When it was
first rumored among limited class of
persons in New York that Grover
Cleveland's personal pecuniary affairs
were not in a fourishing condition
there was general incredulity. When
Mr.. Cleveland was inaugurated he
was worth over his liabilities, about
100000; less than that sum rather
than more. This consisted of real
estate unincumbered; bank account
amounting on March to some 1900;
stock in a street railway, and snug
sum, stated to be $50, 600, invested in
bond and mortgage in New York and
Buffalo. ....I 81.
Shortly after Mr.. Cleveland's cleo
ton he changed entirely the nature of
his investments. No considerable
amount of his fortune was so placed
that it might be affected by his Of
fetal actions In order to avoid even
the appearance of evil the president
elect had all his securities disposed of.
and the proceeds invested in such a
manner that no official policies of his
could either increase or decrease their
value. This was simply following a
precedent set by all chief magistrates,
President Harrison having done a
similar thing shortly before his inaug-
uration.
But when the cares of his Office
began to weigh upon Mr.. Cleveland he
found it entirely impossible to attend
to his personal affairs The real estate,
for lack of management, yielded no
revenue, and the stocks were not hold
ing their own. The president never
owes much money-SlO, 900 would pay
his debts and more almost any time
but the scale upon which he lives and
the losses he sustained through his
investments have left him poorer by a
good deal than when he entered the
White house last March. 1t is stated
upon an authority which leaves the
assertion open to no dispute that Mr.
Cleveland is worth to-day barely $780,
QUO, and his salary is being spent as
fast as it comes in.

THEIR EMPLOYEES ISSUE AN
UL~IMATUM
TIE MEN DEMAND THEIR BACK PAY
II Sot Forthcoming by Next Saturday
They Threaten to strike General
Manager Frey Says They Win
Get Their Pay As soon As the
Company Can Raise the
Money

ENPoRIA, Kan, Oct "a -Investiga-
ton into the reports of a probable
strike on the Santa Fe system next
Saturday show that a committee rep
resentlng the Brotherhood of Train
men was in Topeka last Wednesday
and Thursday and to Superintendent
Nickerson and General Manager Frey
made demand that September wages
be paid by October IS. and that here
after wages be regularly paid on the
10Th of each succeeding month. The
committee informed the officials that
this was the ultimatum of the order,
and if not complied with by the com
pany general strike of all the EN-.
ployes, operators, etc, would be
ordered on the Chicago, East, Middle,
West, South, Pan Handle, New Mexico
and Rio Grande divisions.
A prominent official and employe at
the Santa Fe Offices here said to-day:
1.-THE rumor is correct and guess
that it is now an open secret while it
has been the intention of the order to
keep everything from the public as
yet The local orders along the en-
tire system have been holding meet
ings during the past week discussing
the matter and the officials Of the
road now have our ultimatum Every
employee on the entire system
has agreed to stand up to the
conditions of the demand and
will undoubtedly walk out Saturday
unless the wages be paid or some def
mite promise of payment within few
days of that date be made 1t is said
that Nickerson first laughed at the
committee but now sees the serious
ness and is in communication with
them now.
Last months wages were about
month delayed and the merch hts
here refuse to give the men credit over
one month so that DELAY in payment
is very serious matter for them.

A GREAT MOVEMENT
ORGANIZED LABOR ORDERS
TO AMALGAMATE.
ALL Unions 70 Be CONSOLIDATED.
The General Assembly of the knights Of
Labor at its Meeting Next Month to
Inaugurats the scheme-To do
Away With Militia and
PinkertOns In Labor Dis
putes--Other Objects.

New YORK, Oct 24-Eo achieve
ment Of organized labor in this or Ay
other country can compare in MP .cnS~
tude with movement which it hpro-
posed to inaugurate at the puaeral
assembly of Knights of Labor next
month and to consummat. when dele
gates representing the entire Ameri-
can Federation of La Oor conyenes in
December An anal gamation of every
labor order and Tabor union in the
United States, whereby all shall rec
Ognize a single supreme authority and
in which over hundreds and thousands
of workmen shall be an organized unit
in everything that seems to affect
their interests, is the end aimed at.
Only one potent influence is being ex-
erted to the execution of this scheme
that of Samuel Gompers. Another
man, willingly or unwillinglv, is
looked to as a champion of the move
ment Terrence V. Powderly, and he
has already given it a qualified ap.
proval.
Briefly embodied, the objects of the
consolidation are:
First-Exterminate militiaism in the
settlement of labor disputes by abol-
ishing the Pinkertons
Second-To Influence Legislation
more effectively.
Third-To save the expense of main
tanning rival organizations which,
after all, have the same ends in view.
Fourth-To do away with the in
ternal dissensions The ether aims
are more or less subsidiary.
Such consolidation would have an
imposing result. 1t would mean a
membership of $4,000 and revenue
of 100000 yearly. The argument
that it is too gigantic for ready action
is met by the PROPOSITION to maintain
the order in diVisions-one to be
known as Knights of Labor, another
as the Federation and so on.

Quick as flash the marshal wheeled

striking him in the arm pit ploughed
its way through, while Taliaferro es-
