THE ANN ARBOR ROAD.

Chief Arthur Must Stop the Strike or

ANN ARBoR, March IA Toledo
dispatch says that the various connect
ing lines have been placed under an in
junction TO prevent their refus-
ing to interchange traffic with the
Toledo & Ann Arbor road. The
engineers of the latter road have been
ON a strike for about a week, and none
but mail trains have been running.
Inasmuch us the managers of
the road have insisted on relin-
quishment of mem bership in
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers as one Of the qualifications
for employment in the future, that or
ganization took up the fight and or
dered its members employed in run
ming engines on connecting lines
not TO draw freight received from
Ann Arbor. The injunction referred to
above has placed Chief Arthur in
an awkward position. If he orders a
general refusal by brotherhood men
on connecting roads 10 haul Ann
Arbor freight, he must do SC
in the face of the law. Hence
he called the heads of a local
committee on adjustment and after a
long secret session overtures were
opened with the Ann Arbor manage
ment looking TO a settlement of the
dispute. After learning what con-
cessions the brotherhood was will
ing to make the Ann Arbor, Mr..
Kirkby consulted j. NJ. Ashley, presi-
dent of the road, and after lengthy
interview gave out that the men Will
return to work, not stating, however,

LONDON, Sept. 1.-There is little change
in the strike situation. Yesterday passed
quietly. The presence OF large forces of
troops and the London police in the dis
turbed districts, it is hoped, will prevent

GROWING MORE MIXED
The Ways and Means Committee
Tinkering the Tariff.
1t Is a Thankless Task, and, More
over, One That May Never
Be Completed.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE iron and
steel schedules were the subjects of dis
cussion in the Ways and Means Committee
to-day, and a large delegation, represent
ing nearly every prominent iron and steel
mandatory in the country, was present,
and endeavored 60 demonstrate the mex
pediency of changing the tariff schedules
on products in which 1t was interested.
The delegation was headed by Joseph
Wharton of Philadelphia, vice president
of the American Iron and Steel AsSocia-
ton. Wharton said there were 450, 900
persons engaged in all capacities in the
manufacture of iron and steel, who repre-
sented population of about $3.50, 600, de-
pendent upon this industry for its liveli-
hood. He insisted that the present tariff
was the best that had ever been imposed,
and that under its operation prices had
been reduced to the consumer. The prac-
tice of changing the tariff was one of the
most noxious things known to business
interests.
Eve are SUFFERING" he said, ''from a
condition of distress and strain which
suppose few people outside of the industry
are aware of. 1t is by the destruction of
our credit. Every man in this business is
borrower. and under the present condi-
tion of affairs 1t is almost impossible TO get
money. II is not the silver question alone
which has brought this about, bat fear on
the part of manufacturers of adverse tariff
legislation"
Hon. George II. Ely of Cleveland, Ohio,
president of the Weston Iron Company,
maintained that S1S2, ,00O, 900 was invested
in the iron-ore industry of the country,
employing about SO, 900 men. and that re-
duction OF the tariff would be runous to
those industries.
William r. Stirling of Chicago. first
vice-president of the Illinois Steel Com
pany, stated that the companies which
formed the Illinois Steel Company en-.
ploved 900 men. paying in wages
S6000,000 year, which under tariff re-
duction would necessarily be reduced
materially. a number of other Northern
and Southern iron men argued in the same
line. The hearing lasted eight hours.
Secretary Carlisle tonight made public
a letter received from David A. Wells, the
well-known Democratic tariff reformer
The letter recommends the imposition of
maximum internal revenue rates on dis
titled spirits, malt liquor and tobacco
Wells, in table, shows that the revenue
from these articles for the year ended June
20 was S181 900, 900, and under his plan the
revenue would be about S245. 100000
CHICAGO, Sept. IA Washington spe-
cial says: 1t becomes evident as the work
of the Ways and Means Committee de-
yelops that the tariff bill will be much
more moderate than if it had been framed
six months ago. but there is practical
ananimity in the committee in favor of
putting wool on the free list and making a
heavy cut in wool manufactures. Some
memb bers of the committee will work
hard for free lumber

BISMARCK'S CONDITION.
There Are Conflicting Stories, but
He Is Very Low.

PARIS, Sept, lit is reported from
Kissingen that Bismarck is seriously i'll
that he has lost the use of both hands.
1t is said Bismarck has been stricken
with paralysis. He is being fed by at
tendants and the doctors are holding a con-
sultation of the gravest nature. Though
the real state of his health may be some
what exaggerated, there seems to be no
reason to doubt his illness is most Sc
rious. Sciatica is said to be the foundation
of the disease. Dispatches inquiring about
his health are being received at Kissingen
from ali parts of Europe. 1t is hardly be-
lieved he has paralysis. but there is little
hope that he will live any great length of
time.
1t is reported the Emperor telegraphed
for accurate Information. Specialists in
Berlin are being consulted as to the adyisa-
bility of removing him to mlder climate.
His present condition is thought to be due
to his persistence in receiving a deputa-
tion in the open air in defiance of the doc
tors orders.

BUENos AYREs, Sept. 1.-Advices from

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-With the view
of having as many war vessels as possible
in the harbor of Rio de Janeiro TO protect
American interests in case of serious
trouble. the Navy Department at noon de-
cided to order the cruiser Detroit, now at
the Norfolk Nayy-yard. to proceed to that
place as quickly as possible. instead of
going to Greytown. Nicaragua. Neither
the State nor Navy Department is il re-
ceipt of any information up to noon of the

commander of the cruiser Yorktown re-
ports her as having sailed from Coonia,
Uruguay. Saturday for Sandy Point, in
the straits of Magellan. 1t will be mpos-
sible TO get word to her to go to Brazil

TALKS ON SILVER.
Gold Men Now Claiming
Everything.
EXPECT AN EARLY VOTE.
Nevertheless 1t Will Probably Be a
Far Cry to the Close of
the Debate.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-While outward
appearances indicate that the situation in
the Senate is unchanged. and that de-
bate on the repeal bill may continue in
definitely. there are facts apparent to the
initiated which go TO show that the end is
in sight. There is a strong probability
that the Senate will be either ready to ad-
journ or to take up other legislation by the
first of October, and few even of the
stanchest silver advocates any longer
claim majority, but they are hopeful of
procuring the adoption of some amend
ment which will give recognition in some
form TO silver aud thus avoid the necessity
of taking vote upon the repeal bill as il
stands. 1t may be stated definitely that
no organized determination to filibuster
has been reached, and the probabilities are
that there will be no extended effort after
legitimate debate has been exhausted to
prOlong the session or to postpone the time
for action upon the bill. The opponsnts
Of the bill are called upon to face the fact
that they are at the beginning of Congress
with no possibility OF forcing an adjourn
ment if the majority should hold out for
continuance antll the 4th of March, 1895.
1t will rest largely with the Southern op-
ponent's bill in the Senate to decide
whether q vote shall be postponed or
taken.
Nevertheless, there are still those who
claim that there will be far cry to the
close of the debate on the bill. By these
advocates of silver it is pointed out that
thirty-tbree Senators have arranged TO
speak, and ten or a dozen others may de-
cide to take hand before the conclusion
of the debate. Should this prove true 1t is
more than proba ole that snow will fly be-
fore the matter is settled. George of Mis-
sissippi expects to speak two days. Jones
of Nevada and Daniel of Virginia each
two days. and Morgan of Alabama and
Stewart of Nevada each one day.
1t is said, also. that even if compro-
mise is reached it is not probable that a
vote will be taken by the 1st OF October,
and the extreme silver Senators still in sist
a vote cannot be reached at all without
the clOture rule. Under the rules of the
Senate there is no provision whatever for
shutting off debate, and it is not probable
such rules will be adopted now.

and back to Cowes.
A strong easterly braeze was blowing
and the sea was very rough, rolling In
short, heavy seas peculiar 10 the British
Channel. The yachts started to the east

sea-going qualities. The Britannia beat
the Navahoe in a stiff breeze by fifteen
minutes
