A New York Physician Considers MIN

irresponsible.
NEW YORK, Julyl0 The Advertiser
this morning says:
DIR. I. B. Robertson is one of the
New Workers who know something of
the antecedents Of Eugene V. Debs.
DIR. Robertson is specialist on nerv-
GUS diseases and treated Debs in
April, 1892, for serious case of dip
somania.
AT that time Debs was prominent
in labor agitation and the editor of a
labor paper in Terre Haute, Ind. His
| system broke down completely under
constant alcoholic excuses and he be-
came a mental and physical wreck.
With letter of introduction from
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll he came
to New York and was treated bv DR..
Robertson, who restored him TO some
thing like health again.
DIR. Robertson sent a telegram to
Debs Thursday night warning him
that he was in no condition to enter
into such an undertaking as the man.

quite, irresponsible" said DIR. Robert

gram. His physical condition is not
good, ant che effects of dipsomania
may affect his intellect. / have not
received any answer to my telegram
and / suppose Mr. Debs considers
himself insulted by being called ir-
responsible. He will break down
physically and probably mentally as
soon as this strain is over, if not be-
fore, and will probably relapse into
his former dissipated habits"
The Railway Age in its current
issue has this to say about Debs:
When E. V. Debs was at Dwight,
ILL.,, taking the Kelley cure for
drunkenness, he used to brag much
to his fellow patients of what he was
going to do some day for the working.

and in the light of recent events

GUARDED BY STRIKERS.
The Fort Scott Yards Carefully Protected
by the Ex-Employes.

by the Ex- Employees.
FoRr SCOTT, Kan, JulylO. 1.-The 700
railroad men now idle in This city on
account of the strike have delegated
from among their members sufficient
number Of men to guard the property
and yards of the railroad companies.
1t was believed that some attempt at
arson might be made by an element
whose interests were not at stake and
the strikers kept strict watch. No
one except railroad people were al
lowed to enter the yards.
The firemen's brotherhood has voted
to strike after several days of agita-
ton, and no fireman can be induced
to take an engine here. Firemen on
all trains in here are compelled to
travel on to Kansas City or Springfield,
making a 200 mile run. Passenger
trains are more regular, but no
freights are moving.
In the United States district court
to- day an injunction was issued re-
straining all strikers and other per-
sons from interfering with or obstruct-
ing the running of freights and pas
senger trains and from compelling,
inducing or attempting to induce by
intimidation or persuading the regu-
lar employees OF the road to refuse
to do their duty. The American
Railway union men on all the roads,
some 1900 in number, are named in
the restraining order, and Debs' name
heads the list.

DYNAMITED AN ENGINE.
An Explosion Occurs in the Fire Box Of
a Santa Fe Locomotive.

PUEBLO, Col. ,July1O.-The most das-
tardly piece of word in Colorado since
the beginning Of the strike was done
yesterday. A freight train of the
Santa Fe road left here shortly
after o'clock Saturday night shortly
after which a terrific explosion was
heard. 1t developed that a piece of
of dynamite had been exploded in the
fre-box of the locomotive that was
hauling the departing train. The To-
connective was lifted from the track
and badly damaged. The engineer
and fireman miraculously escaped
with no injuries except severe shak-
ing up. 1t is supposed that the dyna-
mite was placed in the coal by some
miscreant, and that the fireman
shoveled it into the fre-box during
the performance of his duties.

CHICAGO, JulylO.-Everything was
quiet here this morning and the feel
ing was growing that there would be
no more serious riOting. The roads
are all moving their passenger trains
and a number are starting their
freights. 1t is quite clear that the
mObs OF yesterday were composed
chiefly Of oilers from the packing
houses and that very few railway men
were present President Cleveland's
proclamation seems to have been very
effective.
The postal authorities say there is
less interference with the mails to-
day than on any day since the strike
began.
Last night fremen were called to
extinguish many incipient blazes in
cars standing in isolated places.
There were no large gatherings of
rioters for the purpose of wholesale
destruction as on previous nights.
Early this morning at Forteith and
Emerald avenue packing house firm
attempted to move some dressed beef.
The strikers discovered this and tried
TO intimidate the teamsters. The DO
lice were called and the crowds re-
sisted efforts to dispense them. The
police then fred q volley over the
heads of the strikers which caused
them to dispense. Six of them were
arrested charged with riot
Later some boys and idle men who
had gathered at the orty-ninth street
crossing of the Grand Trunk road
threw stones at a squad of state Mi
itia. The latter first made a charge
upon the mob and then on a renewal
of the stone throwing, fred a volley
INTO the crowd. The crowd escaped
into adjoining houses and it was not
learned whether anybody was hurt.
Six freight cars were burned this
morning before daylight on the
Illinois Central tracks at Burnside.
John iepner, Ed Hogan. John
Coloran. John Grady, Ben Lenand
and Robert Blair were found at the
fire and arrested on suspicion of being
frebugs. They were taken to Ken
SingtOn police station and were fined
500 each by Justice Robbins.
Little work was done iu the stock
yards to-day, John B. Sherman an,
nounced that no attempt would be
made for few days TO resume. Ar
mour & Co sent out 100. QO9 pounds Of
dressed beef before daylight this
morning TO the city markets. 1t was
shipped in wagons guarded by yard
employees. The commission men Of
the yards have organized for the de-
Tense of property inside the yards and
protection outside will be delegated
to special police officers.
The committee Of seven appointed
by the labor leaders at Uhlrichs hall,
called upon Mayor Hopkins promptly
at 10 o'clock to-day and asked him to

which should undertake to induce
Pullman to submit 10 arbitration.
Mayor Hopkins referred them to the
committee appointed for this purpose
by the city council a week ago, and
they arranged tomeet that committee

that they were under orders to report

HiA Practical Interest.

Representative Meyer Earns That Title by
HiA Practical Interest.
The activity Of Representative Meyer, ol
Louisiana, in urging q reorganization OF the
personnel Of the navy, is earning for him the
title Of "the sailors friend" Mr.. Meyer was
instrumental In securing the creation OF a
Joint committee Of the Senate and House to
consider a reorganization OF the ravy, and
he has since become an energetic member OF
that committee.
He first turned his attention to reorganiz-
ing the lower grades OF the navy. He has
drafted a bill for this purpose, which was
considered by the joint committee at meet
ing yesterday.
One Of the main features OF Mr.. Meyers
bill Is in providing a means OF steady ad-
vancement from the enlisted ranks up to a
commission as officers. Mr.. Meyer says the
old world navies provide for such advance
ment, but 1t is singular feature OF the
American system that an enlisted sailor can
never hope to gain commission.
The proposed bill creates number OF
grades through which sailors may pass in a
gradual advance toward commission.
These include classes in ordnance, torpedoes,
and electricity, signals and helmsmen, to be
known as the military classes OF the navy.
Other classes are grouped rs civil staff, and
inciuuo ciaSSNo vi pay hau coHihisSion, stc"ui
engineering. mechanics, apothecuries, and
other civil branches.
A method is provided by which n sailor may
pass through one or the other OF the classes,
and then, il under 30 years OF age, be sent to
a school of instruction. where he is prepared
for examination for a commission in the navy.
Five commissions as easisns are to be given
annually in case there are vacancies over and
above those filled from the Naval Academy.
Three other commissions are to be granted
annually to the civil corps OF the navy.

Work of the Revenue Steamer Morrill,.
The Secretary of the Treasury has received
from Capt. H D. Smith, of the revenue marins
Steamer Morrill,, detailed account of the serv-
ices rendered by his vessel, which, co-operated
Sith the American Red Cross Society of which
Miss Clara Barton is president, in affording re-
lief to the distressed inhabitants of the sea
islands and adjacent territory on the coast of
South Carolina, their deplorable condition re-
eulting from the cyclone which swept over that
section on August q, 1898.
The Morrill, was engaged in this service from
Nov. "a, 1893, to April l, 1894, and during that
time the vessel, under the direction of Miss
Barton -, lised 1850 miles, covering all that
portion o. The coast lying between Georgetown
and Hilton Head, including numerous inland
passages.
As giving some idea of the appalling desola-
tion and death left in the track of the cyclone,
Capt Smith states that during these cruises 800
dead bodies were reported found in the islands
between Beaufort and Port Royal In the neigh
borhood of g., 900 worth Of property was de-
etroyed.
The Morrills men handled 1886 packages of
merchandise and food, weighing 165651 pounds
Capt. Smith speaks In words of highest praise
of the great work done by the Red Cross, with
the assistance of the Morrill,, and says but

work of that society must have been far less
effective. As 1t was thousands Of sufferers were
