These were hidden or overshadowed
by naughty woman in costly royal

Then these were eelipsed by the coming
of a military leader with sword in right
hand, elevated ready to strike; the
Scabbard cast away; a cross on his
right breast and a square compass on
his left. On his head was a military
hat, the crown blended with the man S

was a horn, and a. cross was erect be-
hind him. He stepped out and forth

eral manager the train will be held
indefinitely.
Three through Santa Fe passenger
trains, each carrying Pullmans, started
out this evening, one to Chicago and
two to the west, without resistance.
Other roads are still unaffected. The
switchmen are now holding a meeting
to decide whether or not to join the
strike.
All the switchmen at this end of the
Topella division of the Santa Fe were
ordered out at midnight and representa-
tives from all other unions here have
agreed to join them. This action is
the result of a meeting of the American
Railway union held at Argentine to-
night. In the meeting were represent >
all branches of employees from the
track-walkers to the engineers, and it
was unanimously decided that they re-
main out till the last. Twelve hun
dred men are affected.

Mr.. Balfour, moved an address of
congratulation to the queen upon the
birth of an heir to the Duke of York.
The motion was about to be put

Northern Pacific is Defiant.

st. Paul, June 2S.-The Northern Pa
cific say they will operate their trains
and depend on the United States mar
shals for protection The shops at
Como are silent. Three Wisconsin
Central engines are stalled on the Nor
them Pacific tracks. The officials tried
to do switching this morning, but as
the interlocked system is used, they
made a failure. The overland train due
last evening, arrived on time.
The general strike on the Northern
Pacific system went into effect at mid
night. Not a wheel is moving on the
eastern end and complete tie-up is
reported from Fargo, Livingston and
other points. The strike is the direct
outcome of the Pullman boycott, the
employees demanding the reinstate-
ment of the men discharged for refus-
ing to handle boycotted cars, and de-
handing that the order for the dis
charge of all employees for refusing to
handle cars be rescinded.

The Late Presidents Funeral.

3 London, June 2S.-Henri Rochefort, in
an interview today, said he considered
the choice of Casimir-Perier for presi-

The new president would try to revive
the Pc sonal government of the late
Marshal Mcmahon, and like the latter
would have to surrender or resign.
Rochefort said:
His presidency means civil war. He
would seek the alliance of Germany in
order TO sell the farmers his coal, as he
is the chief stockholder in the Anzein
mine, the richest in France. He mas
already announced his intention of dis
solving the chamber, and it will not be
long before a conflict occurs"

Helena, Mont, June 2S.-There Glas
been no change today in the situation
on the Northern Pacific road in this
state. A report from Missoula says
the men now Intend to demand that
the scale of wages in effect prior to
last january be restored. They say
as they are now out, they might as
well demand restoration of wages.
Members of the American Railway
union in this city, however, deny that
such action has been taken, but init
mate that it is likely to be. The tie-up
in the state is complete; not a train
of any sort is running on the main
or branch lines.

to use the Western Union wires. No
action has been taken in court.
