the violence that had occurred. This
information was wired to Chicago and
had the eject Of greeting matters.
The railroad general managers held q
meeting Saturday in Chicago and re-
fused to treat with the labor organiE&.
tiOns in any way, or to agree to any
proposition looking to q settlement OF
the trouble. They claim they are able
TO run trains with what men they can
got, without going into any compromise.
This action leaves the matter in bad
shape and may participate more trouble,
although IL is q faCt that many Of the
strikers have gone back to work OF their
own accord.
Most Of the roads In Kansas are NOV

STILL STRIKING IN CALIFORNIA.
SAN Francisco, July 14.-Sevsnteen
days have interviewed since the general
strike was inaugurAted on the Southern
Pacific system. During the entire period
railway traffic has been at an absolute
standstill in northern California. AT
least seven, and probably nine, human
lives have already been sacrificed in the
desperate struggle that is on between
the railway company and the federal
government on the one side and the A.
r. U. on the other. The commercial loss
has been enormous. Not only is general
traffic almost at q standstlll, but o Sea-
sons fruit crop, to the value Of hun
drsds Of thousands Of dollars, Ia perish
ing in the orchards.
There Ii every indication more men
are to be slaughtered In this industrial
war; that the fruit growers are to see
more OF their crop spoil on their hands,
and that the embargo on commerce is to
be indefinitely continued.
When the United States army and
navy were thrown into the fight it was
said the trouble would speedily end. It
is now three days since the federal
troops went into the field in nothern
CaliforniA, but the end 10 not yet in
sight. In fact the United States au-
thoFitles are resisted as was the state
militia forces, and the troublesome
times seem to have bat begun.
In Sacramento the defiance became 90
bold Yesterday the capital city is now
under actual martial law. United
States Marshal Baldwin rode through
the streets at the head Of q detachment
Of thirty csvalrymsn yesterday, and pro-
claimed martial law. He ordered the
people to their homes and bade them re-
main there until the trouble IL over.
The adoption Of this extreme measure
was provoked By an outbreak that oc-

ACRES OF PEOPLE!
TOPEKA SURPRISED BY THE
CHANGE IN POLITICAL
SENTIMENT
As Indicated by the ThrOngs in Attend
anOe at the POpulist Rally-A Great
Day for Shawnee County.

II an old resident Of Shawnee county
had been sojourning in strange lands for
the last year or two, and during his Rb-
senCe had no means Of keeping posted
as to the political sentiment which lies
beneath the surface Of society-if such
q person had suddenly returned on
July y, he would have been dumb
founded on seeing the changes that have
taken place. He would have been more
surprised than Rip Van Wrinkle was on
returning to the village after his
twenty years. nap, yet il he was pstri-
otto he would have been cheered by
what greeted his eyes.
The capital OF Kansas was that day
the scene Of colossal Populist rally, q
grand gathering Of the people, oCcs-
stoned by the announcement that it
would be q ratification Of the actions
Of the late Peoples party state conVen-
tion. This multitude was composed al
most wholly Of those who came to sat-
isfy and those who came to learn more
Of the political doctrines which they
knew would be preached and ably dis
cusssd that day. They were not disap-
pointed for they had ample opportunity
to hear what they wanted. All the
afternoon and half the night the seats
and standing room within hearing dis
tance of the speakers stand in the City
park were crowded with eager listeners,
and when the program Of speaking and
music was exhausted, which was about
II o'clock p. m, many Of the people
called for more speakers and otherwise
showed an inclination to remain. The
number Of visitors to the park during
the meeting was over 10000. One OF
the leading attractions was Governor
Waite of Colorado. Our own state was
represented on the platform by Gov
ernor Lewslllng, Anna L. Diggs, 8. M.
Scott, G. E. Foote, Fred ]. Close, D. 1.
Furbeck, Mrs. Lease, H. N. Gaines,
Ben s. Henderson and others. The
Quenemo Glee club and w. E. Thomas
supplied the vocal music, while the A.
o. U. W. band Of Topeka rsgSled the
crowd with instrumental music. The
forenoon meeting began at 1890 and
was addressed by II. q. Brown, DR..
Bohrer and Judge Foote.
Governor Waite arrived about 3 p. M,
and found an admiring crowd awaiting
him. he was at once introduced by

suOOessful-Debs Still Hopes.
So far ss immediate results are con-
cerned the strike and boycott Of the
A. r. U. against the Pullman car COM
pany and the railroad companies has
failed OF its purpose. There were two
things against it's success-the political
prejudice and ignorance which kept
some Of the railway mems unions from
joining in the boycott and the poverty
which drove 30 many Of the A. r. u.
men back to their work.
Many prominent labor leaders, how
ever, take cheerful view of the situs-
tion and declaEe their belief that the re-
suit will amply repay the strikers for
the trouble and inconvenience they have
suffered. This result they expect to
come through an arbitration conference
and through the Investigations Of labor
questio ms which they hope congress will
make.
Last week the executive officers of the
A. +. u, the American Federation Of
Labor and the Knights OF Labor held
several lengthy conferences with Mayor
Hopkins Of Chicago and other promi-
nent men who had interested themselves
in the matter Of the strike. They were
also met by representatives Of the rail-
roads but not the General Managers
association, to which they had looked
for arbitration. The conference finally
agreed on q proposition to be made by
President Debs, to the effect
that il the general managers
would reinstste the striking employees
the strike would be called of except az
far as concerned the Pullman company.
It was further agreed that an appeal
would be made to the public to quit pat
ronizing Pullman cars; that President
Cleveland should be requested to Rp-
point commission to investigate the
strike and the causes which led up to it;
that immediate efforts be made to Inn
peach Attorney General OlneY; that an
effort be made to secure the passage Of
q compulsory arbitration law by con-
gress, and that complaints be lodged
looking to the indictment Of the railway
managers for conspiracy to obstruct the
movement Of the United States mails by
refusing to run mail cars except in con-
nection with Pullman cars.
On July II, a committee headed by
General Secretary Hayes Of the Knights
Of Labor called upon President CleVe-
land and received q promise that he
would appoint committee OF investiga-
tion and arbitration, as authorized by Q
United States statute, and send 1t to
Chicago as soon as practicable, provided
that all violent demonstration on the
part Of the strikers should cease Of once.
It win be seen that the president insists
on holding the strikers responsible for

nor of Colorado" Our governor has a
faculty Of letting other people be heard,
so he made his Introductory speech very
brief. The appearance and speeches Of
Governor Waite were an agreeable dis
appointment to those who had not seen
him before. Instead Of the coarse,
illltsrsts and impetuous man the news
papers have described him to be, he pre-
sents the appearance Of a rather refined
and unassuming business man or farmer,
while his speeCees and conversation in
dicste that he is well educated and Of a
mild though positive disposition. Above
all he is exceedingly well.posted in his
tory and political economy. No wonder,
then, that the audiences Of the afternoon
and evening gave him round after round
OF applause during his two speeches.
The address of Annie L. Diggs, de-
liVered during the afternoon, was OF her
usual incisiYs and foroible, though
cheerful style, and it met with the
hearty approval OF her great audience.
She devoted much Of her time to the
railway strike subject. S. M. Scott was
also cheered to the echo. His speeches
are always happy mixture Of humor
and good argument.
WHAT GOVERNOR WAITE TALKED ABOUT.
The governors afternoon speech was
devoted largely to the mine and railroad
troubles in his state. He gave histor-
iCal account, showing how the lawless
element, backed by the courts, was
always on the side Of monopoly, how he
had used the state militia simply to
stand between the lRborer and their
employers to prevent violence, and the
adjutRnt general had defended the min
erS against the mine. owners and their
deputy marshRls, and had been rewarded
with coat Of tar and feathers for doing
30. In the evening the governor talked
OF general politics and held his audience
Of over 10000 spell. bound for an hour.
He showed how our government was
drifting toward the policy Of the old
federal party which passed the "alien
and sedition" law to prosecute citizens
for saying or publishing anything detri-
mental to the president. This and sim
liar laws were so repulsive to the people
that the federal party was swept out Of
existence, just as the republican and
democratic parties will be by reason Of
the way the president and the courts
are usurping the peoples rights.
Speaking Of the proposition to refer
our monetary matters to q conference
composed largely Of foreign bankers,
the speaker said: "When was ID years
old-which ID about fifty years ago--iR
any party had adopted such an infamous
proposition as that, the persons respon-
ible for it would have met the fate Of
my adjutant general" He illustrated
his argument effectuRlly by referring to
the Pullman and Carnegie labor
troubles. Never did Q public speech
strike an audience more forcibly than
did this one Of Governor Waite on the
] abor and national finance questions.

Mixing the Fees, eli,

An amusing incident has just come to
light anent the recent marriage of a
prominent young railroad man to an
up town belle. AS is usual on such oc-
casions, the arrangements, including
the financial end of the transaction in
hearts, were left to the best man, him
self a we'll known club man and a
cricketer of local repute. The story
that Is now going the rounds, and which
is creating considerable merriment,
deals wholly with the part played by
the latter young man. By some unac-
countable contretemps the youth in
question delivered to the organist the
magnificent sum of $50, while the shock
headed youngste. who supplied the
wind for the instrument was gladdened
by the gift Of $40.
When it came to the clergyman, how
ever, the lavish expenditure previously
made had so depleted the nuptial funds
that only So remained. With unblush-
ing effrontery and perfect sang froid
the best man rendered the two plunks
to the dominic, whose feelings can bet
ter be imagined than described.
The organist says the wedding was
the most brilliant of the season, while
the shock headed boy who supplied the
wind characterizes it as hot stuff" It
would be interesting to know what the
clergyman who tied the knot thinks
about Philadelphia Record.
