trouble was not precipitated sooner.
"Why, he's a fgurenead; he's not the
actual president of the Pullman COM
pany, for il he were he'd know some
thing about tho actual state OF affairs"
The story of the visit Mr.. Pullman
made to Mr.. Harahan's Office Is about
as follows: NJ. w. Daily of New Or
Icons was the only witness, and 1T was
due largely 10 his presence, il is said,
that there was not violence. M.
w. Daily has charge of the construc-
ton of bridges for the Illinois Central
Railroad company, with headquarters
at New Orleans. He was here to at
tend the funeral of his brother, and
before returning home paid n visit to
the offices of the company, and, among
others, visited Vice President Harahan.
Subsequently George NJ. Pullman put
in an appearance.
Closing the door leading to tho Office
where the clerks are stationed he took
a chair. The mir at once became sultry.
Vice President Harahan has, ii Is said.
n legitimate grievance against Pull
man, and he lost no time In airing 1t in
an artistic and forceful manner. Pull

is effect on the Illinois Central. This
was the opening wedge. 1t aroused
the ire in the portly form Of the vice
president, and turning in his chair his
eyes blazcd as they riveted themselves
on the sole cause OF the present
trouble.
you are not fit to govern men" said
Vice President Harahan. Instead of
visiting your W works you have n
number of superipten-ents who fur
nish you with reports, and when they
IRE colored TO suit you, you take them
as facts, and the result is hat business
is embargoed, poverty stalks all over
your grounds. In a word, you are
alone responsible for the present con-
dition of things among railroads. Why
don't you go out among your employees
and see things for yourself. II you
did there would be no such trouble"
Then followed a number of names,
such as ''Thickhead," "Incompetent,"
'Overrated," and the wind-up was that
the vice president shook his fist in a
decidedly threatening manner under
the stubby nose of George NJ. Pullman.
The latter grasped the chair with both
hands for support. He was so COM
pletely taken lack at the rebuke of
Mr.. llarahan that he failed TO speak
for several seconds. When he did re-
cover from the merited scoring he had
only time to say, But, Mr.. lIarahnn
- Then the vice president trimmed
himself for tho second round:
You think perhaps, that because
you have a contract with this company
that you can rub 1t into us, but You
can't" continued llarahan, Never
will we submit 10 it," and then he
threw his hat against the floor for tho
purpose of giving emphasis to the ulti-
matum of the Illinois Central Railroad
company. Mr.. Pullman made haste to
leave when an opening presented itself.

are 200 soldiers with Springfield rifles,

They came in five coaches and n bag
gage car on the main line Of the Rock
Island, thus avoiding n box car which
was tipped over on the suburban track
during the night by the strikers. In
one hour the train load Of regulars with
their camping equipments came through
from Chicago.
An incident TO enliven the wakeful
passengers was when they caught sight
of Eve freight cars burning on the Illi-
nois Central railroad track at West
Pullman, three miles from here. The
strikers say the brickmakers who have
gone out in sympathy set the cars on
FIRE. One Of the first acts after the ar.
rival OF the troops wns the arrest of a
switchman by Deputy United States
Marshal Allen for refusing to throw a
switch at the round house, the charge
being n violence of the federal In.
