Grand junction, July 9.-Jnterest in
The strike has been wide awake here to-
day. Sup,t Welby came in over the Rio
Grande Western early this morning with
about 100 federal troops from Fort
Douglass. This aroused indignation,
and public meetings and resolutions
have been the order Of the day.
A meeting was called at tho City hall
at 10 o'clock this morning. AS usual
Col. Ketchum presided.
They passed tho following resolutions
unanimously:
That we, the citizens of Grand juno
ton tender to tho employees our heart
felt sympathy in their efforts to improve
tho condition OF themselves and fam
lilies, and further,
Resolved, That in Just recognition OF
the most just and honorable manner
in which the employees have conducted
themselves during this conflict that they
receive our warmest wishes for their
euccess. q. u. White,
d. L. Hynes.
II can safely be said in justice to the
railroad men that lad it not been for
few agita:ors who do not work on the
railroad nothing would have occurred TO
suggest the advisability CT sending an
armed force here.
It is reported that since the federal
troops came upon the ground number
of the strikors have disappeared
Quite little excitement was caused
this afternoon by posse Of deputies
marching up the street. After march
ing around couple Of blocks they got
siehs of Fred Stow, the switch engineer
who was first in the yard to refuse to
switch Pullman car to train. He
jumped Though window in the rear
Of the building, and for the time made
his escape. He will doubtless be ap-
pretended later. as It is reported that
the deputies have warrants for the ar
rest Of about dozen.
Tho engineers held a meeting this a.
m. which was finished this p. Il. and de-
termined to strike. A committee
of the men served notice on the mer-
chants not to cell any supplies to the
Deputies or Federal troops. Supt. Wei
by said they could ship in their SUPPLIES.
A Rio Grsnde train won't east this even
ing ut rs.
There is much suppressed indigna
ton here over the presence OF deputies
and troops as people feel that nothing
has been done to warrant sending them
eere. No freights have moved to-day in
either direction, and tho mails are re-
ceiyed at only irregular intervals and
always late. All the men here, engineers
firemen, brakemen, and trainmen remain
firm and ere quiet and orderly. Several
emigrants en- route west ere detained
here and some of them are destitute.
The Interpreter demanded this morning
that something be given them to cat and
was told that after the deputies break
tasted tho emigrants could have it. He
cursed the deputies and was put under
arrest and placed in confnment By one
of their number.

The following is fair sample of how
cunningly crocodiles, in common with
all other wild animals, can conceal
themselves in moments of danger, says
the Westminster Gazette. After n
happy week spent in the jungle with
a friend of mine we halted for, break
fast, before making the last stage for
headquarters and home, at place
called Poonarhyn garden of
fowers-and while at breakfast were
amused by watching a number of croc-
ot,iles, about eight or ten, summing
themselves on the surface of n small
lake, or tank, as it is there called, of
about an ncrc in extent. A sudden

We tied two nets, together SO as to

WELLINGTON'S PERIL
Republicans Of Allegany County
Threaten to Cut Him.
THE SITUATION IN THE SIXTH MARYLAND
A Family Fight Among the Repub-
lican Voters.
WELLINGTON MEN CONFIDENT

From Stafr Correspondent OF The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND. Md, October %, 1894.
Events of the past two or three weeks have
complicated the political situation for the re-
publicans in the sixth Maryland district to
the extent of reversing the former aspect
of affairs, which, instead of holding out a
bright prospect Of success to Candidate
Wellington for Congress, now forebodes his
possible defeat.
1t is case Of a house divided against IT
self, with the likelihood of the attendant
scriptUral fulfillment in such cases made
and provided.
Something About the Sixth Maryland.
This district may be said to be Washing
ton s most prominent political neighbor. Its
lower end, Montgomery county, abuts upon
the District of Columbia boundary line and
many hundreds of people who go in and out
or Washington daily upon Iheir affairs Of
business and employment exercise their
elective franchise in he sixth Maryland
The other counties are WashinstnII Garrett
Frederick and Allegany, and the district
extends from the rich farming section
where Barbara Fretchie defied the hosts to
the coal mines of Frostburg, Homecoming
and the manufacturing and Industrial city
OF Cumberland. The population of 1l2,2GI
therefore, follows varying pursuits with
widely differing interests, So that the sor,
which the political siren sings la one sec
ton must be set to an entirely different KEY
In another. The total vote for Congress at
the last election was 1871, of which Mr.
Mckalg, democrat received 1889; Mr.
Wellington, republican, lS,23 and Mr.
Shoemaker, prohbitionist, 40 votes In the
previous election Judge McComas, now of
washington, carried the district for the re-
publicaus. On account of the closeness Of
the majorities, the district has always been
considered fair lighting ground for both
UartieS.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1894-10-22
Republican Vote Divided,

Therefore, with the conditions presum-
ably In favor Of republican success this
year, preparations were made by the re-
publicans to go into the campaign to win.
MI Mckaig, the sitting democratic mem
Der, had refused a denomination, which
the republicans construed as an admission
OF the hopelessress of democratic success
Mr. Williams was nominated by the dem
ocrats to make the fight which Mr.. McKaig
declined. Then the republican convention
at Frederick nominated Mr.. Wellington, the
candidate Of 1892. Mr.. Wellingtons nomi-
nation was hotly contested, a fight being
made upon him by the delegates from AL
legaly county, who claimed to be reform
ers setting out 10 destroy a ring which
they alleged was dominating AIlegany
county politics, and represented in the per
son of Mr.. Wellington. The adjournment
of the convention also left bad blood in
another portion of the district, some of
the delegates from Hagerstown charging
that Mayor X eedy of that place, an aspi-
rant for the nomination, had been tricked
by the Wellington men.
