The strike which began last week in a
boycott ON railroads running Pullman
cars, has assumed greater dimensions
than any labor trouble since 1S77-7S.
Mr. Pullman has made a statement of his
side of the case and it is to the effect
that when the depression began last
year, to keep his men at work, contracts
were taken at such close rates, that even
with reduction in wages the company
were losing money. In spite of this fact
and the offer of the firm to show its
books, the workmen, or their Union,
presisted in an advance to the old scale
or ste up'' of all the railroads using
Pullman cars. This threat the Ameri-
can Railway Union has attempted to
carry out, with the result that business
is practically paralyzed in and about
Chicago. and the West, even unto the
Pacific coast. The past two days there
has been rioting in spots, passengers
have been misused, confined in cars and
shut off by the strikers from food and
water, and the State militia and United
States troops have been ordered out 70
quell the disturbance and to protect the
thousands of people who flock to the
scene in search of employment. The
latest this morning is to the effect that
Mr.. Pullman has had conference with
the A. R. u, and President Debs is re,
ported as saying that the strike may be
settled within few days. We hope so.
The defiance of the law of the land in
obedience to leaders like president
Debs is anarchy masquerading in the
name of organized labor, and the coun,
try can hardly stand a dose of it and
Clevelandism, its moving cause, both at
| the same time.

A fine illustration of the hypocracy of
Democratic pension retrenchment is Civ
en- in Commissioner Lochren's statement.
He claims that 1000, 900 has been saved
from the Union pensioners this year, and
more will be saved next year. At the
same time he shows an increase of ST.
100000 in Mexican war pensions, nearly
all of which goes to Southerners and ex-
Confederate soldiers.

The Democracy of Maine, Pennsyl-
vania and Vermont, at the recent State
conventions, were unanimous upon two
subjects, viz. That there was not the
ghost of chance to elect their ticket;
and, that they supported Cleveland, and
denounced Several tlmes), the Republi-
can party. There was as much sense in
one, as in the other position-they- see
the handwriting upon the wall. But,
seriously, it were hard to crowd into the
same space, as that occupied by their
Vermont platform in another place to-
day, more of sophistry and falsehood
than is contained in these three docu-
ments, reading so singularly alike that
one is almost led to believe each emana-
ted from the same brain. In Vermont
and Maine the lot of a Democrat was
never particularly hopeful one, but in
Pennsylvania the present executive is a
Democrat. In that State, as in Yer
mont, the platform insists that the hard
times have been produced solely by 1.-THE
operation of Republican laws" and par
ticularly of the Mckinley tariff law. 1t
declares that the Administration of Pres
ident Cleveland has been both ''sagac-
ious and upright" 1t urges that the
management of the National finances bv
the administration has tended to elevate
the credit of the government; and it
claims that the only genuine and persist
ent friend of the workingman is the
Democratic party. If these declarations
are sincere, why the hopelessness of
their case in the keystone" StateF
The confession of the hopelessness OF
their case in Pennsylvania, and the de-

THE CLIFF JEWELLERS.
village Discovered Which Has Never

village Discovered which Has Never
Before Been seen by White Men.
PRESCOTT, Ariz., November 27.-Re-
cent arrivals from the Bradshaw Mount
aims report the discovery of a cliff
dwellers' village in one of the most in
accessible canyons of that range, which
has never before been seen by white
men. The discovery was made by two
prospectors, White and Williams, who
did not attempt thorough exploration,
but from their description this is the
largest village of the wonderful people
that has ever been discovered. The viii
lage is located along the high banks on
either side of Willow Canyon, and the
houses are estimated to be 260 in num-
Der. 1t is very difficult to reach this
canyon even with pack animals, which
accounts for its having so long remained
undiscovei There are three natural
terraces along the canyon wall, and the
dwellings open back from these. Mar
row steps in the rock, now almost worn
away, seem to indicate that this was a
method employed for ascent and descent.
Several of the houses were explored, and
large quantities OF pottery and some In
struments, evidently used for cultivating
the soil, were found. In one the skele-
ton OF man not over four feet eight
inches in height was discovered. The
canyon at this place is half mile wide,
and shows evidence of having been
cultivated. If this theory proves to be
true, it will throw new light on the hab
its of this little-known people. So far
as known no other evidence has ever
been discovered of the cliff dwellers hav-
ing cultivated the soil. A party is now
being organized to thoroughly explore
the new-found village, and the result of
the researches will be awaited with i'm
terest.

THAT HAWAIIAN UPRISING.
Alleged Confirmation OF the Reports
Received From Honolulu.

Alleged Confirmation OF the Reports
Received From Honolulu.
PoRr TOWNSEND, Wash, November 90.
The press dispatches from san Fran
cisco intimating probable uprising Of
the royalists in Hawaii to overthrow the
present government ana place Queen
ILL F." on the thrown receive part con-
frmation in this city. A well-known
and responsible ship broker made the
statement to-day that he knew from his
own personal knowledge that large
quantities of fire arms and ammunition
have been recently shipped candestine-
" to Hawaii on lumber vessels. He
said he had heard a load of arms came
out from the East over the Great North
ern to Puget Sound, where it was trans
ferred to a small tug, which intercepted
two sailing vessels in the straits below
Port Townsend after they had cleared
from the Custom-house, and there trans
ferred the cargo. The shipments were
originally marked as general merChan
disc destined for the Sound, but the car
was sidetracked at a small station near
tidewater and the contents transferred
to the tug. All this occurred in early
September, and after the arms were
placed on the vessels the tug returned,
and several cipher kilograms, it is said,
were sent to Honolulu via San Francisco
and Vancouver. That the contraband
consignment was intended for the royal
lists there can be no doubt, owing to the
surreptitious movements surrounding
the shipment. This information was
promptly sent to the Secretary OF the
Treasury, as was also the fact that less
than year ago a consignment OF rifles
and cartridges from the East was re-
ceived over the Canadian Pacific and
sent from Vancouver to San Francisco
on an ocean steamer for transhipment to
Hawaii markets as merchandise, and
consigned to a well-known shipping firm
in Honolulu, and one not very friendly
to the new government.
From statements made here by per-
sons engaged in business transactions
with vessels plying in the Hawaiian
trade there is every reason to believe
that army stores and munitions OF war
have been smuggled into Hawaii, and at
a prearranged time every royalistin the
country will suddenly appear well-armed
and prepared to overthrow the present
government. There can be little or no
doubt as to the truthfulness of the story
about the clandestine shipment of fire.
arms from Puget Sound to Honolulu.

FATE OF THE lVANHOE.
One of Her Life Buoys Has Been Found

One of Her Life Buoys Has Been Found
on Vancouver Island.
SEATTLE, November pa special to
the Post-Inteligencer from Victoria
says that the wreckage reported ashore
on the northwestern end of Vancouver
Island as that of the Inflated Ivanhoe is
now proved beyond a doubt, and when
the steamer Mischief returns it Is more
than probable that Captain Foot, her
master, will have definite news of the
fate of this long-missing vessel. The
coasting steamer Maude retired tonight
from the west coast, having gone as far
north as Kyukot Sound. The weather
during the trip was too rough to permit
much investigation, and the captain had
not heard before starting OF the reports
brought by the steamer Mystery last
week. Almost his first words on land
ing were, however, of the lvanhoe. He
said:
81 guess there is no further hope for
the lvanhoe. She's made another OF the
long list of vessels battered to pieces on
the west coast of this island. When we
were at Barclay Sound we heard of her.
Two WnlUe miners called ldSG lueSudY at
an Indians hut near the entrance to the
sound and the first thing they noticed
in the place was one of the Ivanhoe's
life buoys hanging on the wall. There
was no doubt as to the identity, for the
ships name and her port were clearly
marked. They waited for some time for
the Indians to return, so that they might
question them regarding the buoy, but
all hands were away fishing and there
was no telling when they would be back.
The men looked around, but could see
no other signs of wreckage, so they came
down and reported what they had seen
to me, requesting that | make known
the fact on reaching port. AS large
number of the Indians along Barclay
Sound just now have recently arrived
from farther up the coast, it is most
likely that the Ivanhoe's buoy had been
brought down from Kyukot or Cape
Scott. had not heard OF the wreckage
found there, as reported by the steamer
Mystery's engineer, but this would APP
pear to corroborate it and settle its iden-
tity as that of the Ivanhoe."

THOSE INDICTMENTS.
Governor Hogg of Texas Says He Knows
Nothing of them.

AUSTIN, November 26.-Governor HOgg
was interviewed to-day about the indict-
ments alleged to have been returned by
the Mcclellan county grand jury against
John d. Rockefeller, William Rockefel-
Ter, II. NJ. Flagler and others of the
Standard Oil Company for violation of
the anti thrust law. He disclamed know
ing anything about them. No requisi-
ton papers for the gentlemen had been
issued nor have they been asked for.
In the Attorney Generals office the only
information vouchsafed was that the
case was in the hands OF Assistant At
torney-General Bob Henry, who is in
TYLER. The law provides that foreign
corporations violating its provisions may
be prohibited from doing business in the
State by injunction or other proper pro-
ceedings in the District Court OF Travis
county, and it is made the duty of the
Attorney General to institute such pro-
ceedings, but no papers have been filed
in the court here nor does the Prosecut-
ing Attorney know anything about the
case. 1t is believed here that, if the in.
dictments have been found, they are
against the chief officers of the COM
pany. The law exempts farmers from
its provisions, and good lawyers claim
this clause invalidates the whole law
and makes it unconstitutional.
