of the united labor organizations of Chicago
to strike in sympathy with the American
Railway Union and the absolute refusal of
the officials of the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany to submit to arbitration had an unfavor
able influence on stock prices this morning
The hears were quick to take advantage of
the uncertainty produced by these latest de-
velopments and prices of the prominent is
sues were forced down IS to ~ per cent 1t
should he remarked, however, that there was
no outside pressure and the great bulk of
stock sold during the first hour Of business
was for professional account. Pullman rose
1 to 53 and returned to 152. AT II o'clock
the market was a shade better all around, the
selling from bearish sources having ceased.

SERGEANT. ToNILINsoN's REPoRT.-
Sergeant Tomlinson, who was sent by
Gov. O'Ferrall TO investigate the situa-
ton at the Cexeyite camp in Alexar-
dria county, made his report yesterday.
The Sergeant informed the Governor
that he found the crowd, numbering
some 400, on little government re-
servation, and that they were about as
woe-begone and dilapidated a set as
could be scared up. They are nearly
all foreigners, and say the object OF
their encampment is to influence Con-
gress to pass certain bills. They are
quiet and give little trouble, except
that they go out occasionally to beg.
Some of them were offered 81 per day
TO work, but refused, saying, however,
that they would work for $3.50 per day.
Sergeant Tomiinson is of opinion that
work was the last thing they wanted.
The Governor said that if they were
caught oil the reservation the vagrant
act would be enforced against them.
lie did not purpose that they should
eat up the substance of our people.
