All Quiet mt Present.

Chicago. May 1S.--An occasional Wis.,
itor to Pullman today wouldn't have
believed that the employees OF one OF
the largest Industries in the world
were out on a strike. The men ac-
cepted the advice given them 10 either
attend church service or remain in
doors, and very few OF the strikers
were to be seen on the streets. The
shopkeepers In the arcade. who here
totore allowed the men almost unlim-
tied credit. now demand cash for the
necessities of life. 1t is the same in
kensington, and here the effect Of the
strike is more noticeable than even in
Pullman. The most serious question
which is agitating the minds of the
men is, Where is the financial as
sistance coming FROM"
They argue that the American Rail-
way Union cannot assist them in this
respect as yet for the great majority
OF the men have only Joined the union
during the past week Another Sc
rious phase of the situation is: "wIn
Mr., Pullman allow the men to occupy
his houses without paying rent2"
Assistant Manager of the Works Pa
rend expresses himself rather pointedly
on this question, and says that he Is
confident that the men must either pay
rent or be put out, How long will the
strike last, is question which the

ceived with ridlrule. I'VE can't help
but win this strike" said p NJ. Bend
er, one of the committee today. THE
committee who have this In hand have
got matters arranged so that Mr.. Pull
man will be compelled to come to our
terms. It's nonsense on his part to say
that the American railway unions can't
tie up the Pullman cars. We can do
so, but | will say one thing, and that
is, we only take this step as last re-

Washington. May ls.--The course of
the proceedings in the senate this week
will probably depend largely upon the
result Of the Republican caucus to be
held Monday night, The Democrats are
hopeful that the caucus will decide
upon treating the tarifr IN what they
consider "a business-like' manner,
and letting the bill proceed upon its
course without as much speeeh-malS-
ing and without the effort at delay
which the Democrats have been dis
playing by some of the Republican
tionubly a large element on the Re
publican side OF the chamber opposed
to any course which smaclss IN the
least of flibustering. This element in
cludes a large number of senators from
the West and also a sprlnkling of the
older Eastern senators, who feel that
they have a record to sustain against
dllatory tactics. The younger New
England Republican senators are how
ever, almost n unit In favor OF com
tinulng the fight upon the lines which
have been pursued up TO this time,
They contend that no dilatory tactics
have yet been resorted to- and that
none are necessary, and they win prob
ably make Il strong plea In caucus to
continue the program heretofore pur-
sued in discussing the bill. II the
