statements made by railroad officials are

strike IL not settled in twenty-four hours it
will be protracted one. Chairman Riker
of the American Railroad Un on, now on
a strike, has received a dispatch from st.
Paul this evening that President Hill has
ordered Superintendent Bryan to proceed
to Great Fails at once to make arrange
ments to terminate the strike.
SEATTLE, April 15.-Despite the state
ments of the officials that the strike on the
Great Northern does not extend further
east tnau Mnot, n. Oak, the leaders here
say that the claims of James Hogan that
the whole system is tied UP are correct.
Rumors are afoat among the strikers and
are also heard among Great Northern off
cials that the Northern Pacific is to be tied
up Oh Tuesday. aud that before the week
ends every road west OF the Missouri
River, with the ossible exception of the
Union Pacific, will share he same fat".
Word was received from Hogan at Butte
that Superintendent Carrier of the Mon
tana Central had started In buggy from
Helena to Great Falls, distance of 100
miles. he also instructed Secretary
Adams of the local lodge to furnish men
to protect the company's property here, if
necessary, and Adams made the offer to

The strikers then took out the Canadian
Pacific cars, which run on this train. and
transferred them to the Seattle. Lake
Shore ana Eastern tracks, over which they
went to Sumas, connecting there with the
Canadian Pacific.
The strikers have kindly feeling for
the Canadian Pacific because it forme rIy
submitted dispute to the arbitration of
its own engineers, and when the Great
Northern car-cleaners wages were re-
duced to 81 per day and they struck last
March, the Canadian Pacific hired two of
them at 81 day to clean It's cars running
on the coast lines.
No trains of any kind have left Seattle
to-day over the Great Northern.

many years, aver since they were given
the suffrage, voted the Democratic
ticket n those counties at least equals
the whites who are supporters of Kolb.
This shows conclusively that not
taking into consideration the increase
in the white vote since the census of
1890, and allowing nothing for the
large number of negroes in those coun.
ties who, though Republicans, it is
well known as between Kolb and the
Democrats, vote every time with the
latter, even had all the Republican
negroes remained away from the polls,
Oates majority in those nine counties
could not have been less than Is, 600.
From this it is shown that, ever admit
ting everything that Kolb claims, it is
clear that instead of being elected,
Kolb is defeated by not less than 13, 600.
But Kolb's claims are absurd. Many
negroes openly voted the Democratic
ticket. This was particularly the case
in Kolbs own county (Barbour) and in
his old home (Eufaula). 1t was natural
that they should have done go, and it
would have been very strange if they
had not
In the recent riots in Jefferson
county the Governor used the whole
power of the State to protect the
negroes against the murderous assaults
Of those who were supporters of Kolb.
This action Of the Governor was so
universally endorsed by the Demo
crotic press and speakers, and people,
while the press and speakers of the
opposition as universally condemned
the Governor for his action. If the
negroes, under such circumstances,
had not supported the Democratic
party, they would have shown that
they did not possess even ordinary
gratitude.
Governor-el eject Oates was open and
avowed in his endorsements of the ac-
tion of Governor Jones, and naturally
the negroes voted for him. This man

quently been a party to fraudulent
practices in elections. He assumes
that the Democrats use the same means
to obtain their majority that he admits
having used himself. The two coun

majority for Oates, and the other

HI POPULIsTs MEET.

The Populists held a conference at

morning with just a quorum present.
Julian M Rufin, of Hanover, was In
the chair, and II. A. Muller, of Hen
rico, acted as secretary.
Judge J M Gregory, of Chesterfield,
addressed the meeting, and a lively in

ings. At the conclusion of the Judges
address a resolution fixing August 28th
as the date for holding the convention
to elect a candidate for Congress was,
adopted, and after some .furtheF-dis-
cussion the meeting adjourned.
Judge Gregory stated that he esti-
mated the present strength of his party
in the State at 40, 600. The Judge de-
clared that the Populists commanded
so per cent. of the Democratic vote in
Manchester and Chesterfield, and
promised to surprise the natives at the
next election Richmond Times, 9th.
