ToULON. July l3.-The authorities OF
this port are investigating what appears
to be the attempt Of Anarchists to de-
sroy by f-e the new French ironclad
Carnot, which was launched yesterday.
Just previous to launching the iron
clad. ono of the dockyard officials dis
covered smoke issuing from the hold Of
the vessel.
An alarm was promptly given. and 1t
was found that the fire had only Just
been started, and. therefore. It was cas-
My extinguished.
The flames had been started in q
manner which leaves no room for doubt
that 1t was a plot to destroy the ship by
fire. A large bottle of turpentine had
been emptied over the woodwork Of the
hold in a manner well calculated to cause
rapid spread Of the nre.
Near the bottle a box Of matches was
Mound, and several burned matches were
around the spot where the flames burst
forth,
1t Is reported that one Of the dockyart
workmen. suspected OF being an Anar
fhist, was shortly afterwards arrested
and confessed that he and two accom-
pllces planned to set fire to the Carnot.

Tailor Morris placed the rope about
his neck. the white cap over his head
and Prendergast had taken his last look

An instant later his body shot down

hung, slowly swaying back and forth.
At ll.57. nine minutes after the trigger

CHICAGO, July 13.-President Debs
has declared of the great strike Of the
American Railway Union against the
railroads. The tight In the future will
be against the Pullman Company alone.
This order was given at $50 o'clock this
morning.
President Debs Immediately after
made the following statement for pub
LEGATION:
which this trouble has assumed and
the inconvenience 1t Is causing the
public, the Board Of Directors of the
American Railway Union has decided to
end the strike against the railroads
and make to the General Managers a
proposition to take back all the men
who went out"
That proposition. Mr.. Debs expects
will be readily accepted by the railroad
managers, as It will restore their lines
to a condition In which they can re-
sumo business and gather in the reve-
nues which during the past weeks have
been almost entirely shut off.
In fact, the managers on most OF the
roads have already shown themselves
tolerant towards their striking employ
ees and have been glad to take them
back whenever they declared . willing
ness to come.
This action on the part Of the directors
Of the A. r. L. was evidently not the
result Of the conference with the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor at the Briggs
House, for when President Gompers, OF
the Federation, and a number OF other
nrom,nent labor leaders were Informed OF

report.
II IS believed that the decision OF Pres
ident Cleveland to appoint commission

the reasons for ca ling of the A. r. l.

/ Another Is that the railroads are rap
idly getting into shape to handle thcii
business, and that a great many \. X
4, men are deserving that orga nization
The number OF men who are now ou'
in all the trades is estimated at between
20 900 and 25,Ooo This action OF the A. X
T. directors means, OF course, that the
contemplated strike of the allied trades
will not be ordered, for the present al
least.
| 1t also means that the troops VIII et

in the stock-yards and Kensington re-

Of the city will resume its norma
