collected the rents Of 5 1000 people that in
habit the town of Pullman. Then he got
the privilege of selling groceries there,
but soon after quarreled with Mr. Pull
man, it is said, about the sale of liquor
or beer, and was evicted. Crossing the
street that separates the Pullman town
site from Kensington he established a
large grocery and liquor saloon, and made
use of every possible form of advertising
to induce the population of Mr. Pullman'S
village to bring their trade 10 them.
He went into politics for the purpose
of opposing Mr.. Pullman and his pro-
jects and now finds himself mayor of Chi
cago, while all the organized labor of that
section is piled upon the back of his old
employer and enemy. The sentiments
and sympathies of Mayor Hopkins may
be measured by the fact that he came all
the way to Washington last winter for
the purpose of inducing the postofice
department to wipe the name Of Pullman
from off the map and to substitute some
other title for that now historic town.

special. A cavalryman at the stock
yards, who had been howled at by
crowd for three hours, made protest to
his captain. One burly rioter in particu-
lar had planted himself in front of the
trooper and hurled at him every epithet
he could think of, besides daring him to

The officer refused, of course. While
the soldiers noisy assailant was around,
the former never took his eye off him.
Had the order to fire been given that

An officer said last night: The troops
are worked up to frenzy which has
been held back by excellent discipline.
If they get an order to fire, good many

STRIKE Is COSTING MILLIONS.
Competent authority estimates the
property loss in this city alone by fire and
waste the last ten days at 81, 900 900, a
loss traceable directly to the strike, says
a Chicago special to the Philadelphia
Record. But that vast amount Is insig-
niticant in comparison to the loss due to
sacrifice of wages and paralysis of bust
ness. The railroad tie-up has thrown not
less than 100000 railroad employees out of
work.
Now it is announced, as the result of a
careful canvass, that industrial establish
ments in Chicago and its environs, en-
ploying 100, 900 men, will shut down until
the strike is settled. Other manufactur-
ing communities throughout the west are
doing the same thing, and it is not an ex-
aggeration to state that the ranks of
idlers In the west will be increased 1,000,-
600 men by reason of the strike,
The western country is, therefore, los
ing 50, 900, COCA day in wages, estimating
the pay of the men at.the- low average Of
81 day, On the basis of the estimate of
men out of work in Chicago now by rea-
son of the strike, the workingmen are
contributing 100000 day in lost wages,
and 100000 more in drafts upon their re
sources for the cost of living, or a daily
total of 100000.
A CALIFORNIA INCIDENT.
As showing the feeling of the people of
California against the Southern Pacific
railway, says the New York Post, it is
stated that a train was made up at San
Jose yesterday and a division master me-
chanic was on hand to handle the throt-
tie The train was about TO start when
storekeeper in that town walked out from
the crowd carrying little 3-year-old boy
in his arms and holding a stool in his
hands. The boy had an American flag
for an apron, and carried another banner
in his hands. He was placed on the stool
in the middle of the track about 100 feet
in front of the locomotive. Then the
father and his friends went to the me
chanic and told him he must not move
the train over the boys body He sat
there two hours, his mother bringing toys
TO him to play with while he held the
fort" The train was then abandoned
and the boy was taken home,
