DISPATCHERS STRIKE.

The Operators Go Out on tho Southern
California Road.
The situation in this city became more
complicated last night when the an
nouncement was made that the dis
patchers on the Southern California
railway had left their desks in sympathy
with the American Railway union.
The reason Tor the strike iE said to be
owing to the sending out Of the train
with passengers yesterday afternoon.
Besides the dispatchers, several of the
operators in outside towns also struck,
in some instances cutting off commune
cation with the outside world. The
members of the Order of Railway Teleg-
raphers are said to be fully in sympathy
with the trainmen, and will do every
timing in their power to assist them.
The strike of the dispatchers and
other operators along the linee of the
Southern California road puts a more
serious phase upon the situation. A
general walkout is feared.

An Interesting Sketch of the Man Who Has
Bought washington Daily.
Representative Conn of Elkhart, Ind,
has purchased the Washington Times,
a paper that was started here few
months ago by members of the Typo
graphical union, but has made very lit
tie Roadway. After being assessed So
or $40 every week for several months
to make up deficiencies the stockholders
got weary of their enterprise, and at
their last meeting decided to sell out,
whereupon Mr.. Conn, who is q million
aire and already owns several nowspa-
pers in northern Indiana, agreed to take
the burden off their hands, pay an APP
praised price for the plant and settle all
the debts Of the concern.
Mr.. Conn is a notable and eccentric
character, and his history is romance.
A few years ago he had a bench in the
corner of jewelry store in Elkhart,
where he mended watches, clocks and
musical instruments. One day while re-
pairing tuba an idea occurred to him
that was worth several million dollars
and resulted in the invention of rub
Der mouthpiece for musical wind instru-
ments, which was patented and imme-
diately adopted all over the world.
This lucky little hit made Mr.. Conn's
fortune. AT Elzhart no established one
Of the largest factories in the world for
the manufacture Of brass and silver
musical instruments, which is run on
the cooperative plan, and the profits
are divided between himself and his en-
ployees. Flo has been mayor of the town
several times and can come to congress
from that district as long as he likes.
He believes in organized labor and
stands half way between the Democratic
and Populist parties. &s is against the
administration, particularly its silver
policy, and his object in buying the pa
per is to establish here an organ to ex-
press the sentiments of those who be-
lieve in silver money. 1t is said, too,
that he intends to make very lively
paper, something in the sensational
line, which will be new thing in

BAYARIA'S MAD KING.
The Poor Fellow Has Been Crazy More
Than Half Eis Life.

The Poor Fellow Has Been Crazy More
Than Half Eis Life.
Should the Bavarian deputies indorse
the action just taken by the upper house
in deciding to place the insane King
Otto under guardianship and transfer
the crown to the madman's uncle,
Prince Luitpold, regent and heir pre-
sumptive, this royal maniac will lose
entirely tho fictitious baublc Of kingly
authority which he has never been per-
mittedto exercise. The story OF tho mad
monarchs life reads like som strange
talo Of the middle ages.
Otto il now &c years old and has been
insane moro than half Of his life. He
nomihally succeeded to the throne June
ID, 1886, whom his brother, King Lru-
wig II-who had been deposed three
days before because his insanity had
become ndurablo-committed sui
eide by drowning himself i'll the lake OF
starnberg, in the park Of Berg castle,
to which he had been removed for safe
keeping. Ludwig had been crazy for
years upon music and palaces. hing
Otto never actually rogned. Prince
Luitpold, his uncle, was appointed re-
gent when King Ludwig was dethroned
and has been the real ruler ever since
then.
Otto has long been confined in the
castle of Fuorstenried, in the midst OF
q dense forest, not far from Munich.
The most disagreeable task Bavar1an
soldier has to perform is to do garrison
duty there, the gloom Of the surround
ings being intensified by the dreadful
appearance Of the mad monarch. Ills
hair is long and unkempt, and his bushy
brown beard reaches below his waist.
His eyes are usually fixed on empty
space He is always dressed in black
broadcloth. At one time he fancied that
his carpets were made of the finest glass,
and that it was dangerous to tread on
them. He would not be content until
they were all taken up. Another hallu-
cination was that the walls Of his apart
ments were hung with newspapers. He
would sit for hours facing a wall, read
ing aloud what he imagined he found
in those newspapers. He smoked some
thing like a hundred cigarettes day at
last accounts, using up box Of matches
to light each one, taking childish enjoy
ment in the flash and crackle of the lit
tic bits of wood. Once it occurred to
him that it would be amusing to shoot
peasants, and he sat at a window all
day long with gun, watching like a
hunter for his game. Ills attendants
would load the gun with peas instead
Of buckshot, and a man in peasant
dress would pass within range occa-
sionally. The king would shoot, the
man would drop, and the apparently life
less body would be removed by guards

This is the season of the year when
the festive small boy ties the June bug
with thread around tho hind leg and
lets him buzz.
There is nothing so annoying to dog
as the buzzing of June bug, and the
small boy knows it, and his young
heart is glad that it is SO. Every time
he finds vagrant dog he pulls the June
bug out Of q miscellaneous array of ar
ticles in his trousers pocket and puts
him to buzzing around the dogs ears.
The dog Immediately gets down to
business on his launches and furiously
scratches deas from behind his ears.
People who pass the dog and the boy
get fleas on them, and for that reason
flea time comes along, nip and tuck,
with the time Of the musical June bug.

A coed many years ago some one ad-

ious to have it understood that both En-
gineer Z. Dbble and Fireman H. Vance,
who took the train to San Diego yester-
day over the Santa Fe, are union men

Conductor Heart, who refused to
move the train and resigned from the
service of the Southern California Rail-
way company. stated to a HERALD re-
porter that he resigned because he could
not carry the train through and uphold

TRADE ORGANIZATIONS.

The Federation and Typographical
Union Endorse the Strike.
The Los Angeles Typographical union
held a special meeting yesterday and
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, The American Railway
union and the various other railway or
CARNATIONS are engaged in struggle to
maintain the principle that IAN injury
to one Is the concern of ALL, and
Whereas, This principle is a sacred
one to all labor organizations, and it's
establishment and recognition all that
can save the modern wage slave from
hopeless seridom be it
Resolved, That Los Angeles Typo
graphical union, No. liza, in special ses-
sion assembled Lhia LIST day of July, 1894,
do hereby extend to the local railroad
men engaged in this struggle our hearty
com mendation, and that we stand ready
to grant them our moral and financial
support in order to achieve the victory
which should crown their efforts and in
this connection be it also
Resolved, That we call attention to
the manner in which the Los Angeles
Times has reviled the objec OF the
American Railway union, and suppressed
such facts as could create sympathy for
the strikers.
At special meeting of the Los An
geles county Council OF Labor, held July
l, 1894, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The Pullman company in
answer to committee of the American
Railway union, appointed at their ma
tional convention in Chicago to wait
upon them to srbitrate the difficulties
between its employees and the company,
said that they had nothing to explain,
nothing to take back and nothing to ar
bitrate; and
Whereas, The said employees. were
working for less than 81 per day, COM
PEELED TO buy and rent from said COM
psny at exorbitant rates therefore be it
Resolved, That we object to system
OF peonage in the United States;
That the Council OF Labor in special
session assem- bled do censure the action
OF said Pullman company, and in arbi
srarily refusing to confer with said A. r.
U. committee. has forfeited all sym
patty of the masses,
Resolved, That we tender the A.R.U.
our hearty sympathy and support in
this the greatest known struggle Of capi-
tai against wage workers.

will not turn it over to be managed by
those who have no Interest in it, and
there will be no change from the orders
that have gone out to you. Signed, @.
