He Addresses Large Crowd of Peo-
pie at Cheyenne.
SALT LAKE, April ia special from
Cheyenne to the Tribune says: Ex-Presi-
dent Harrison arrived here at l:30 this
afternoon. He was met at the train by
the Lincoln Club and given an informal
reception during the twenty minutes stop
of the train. Fully 5000 people were at
the depot. The military band from Fort
Russell furnished music for the occasion.
The ex-Presdent stepped to the rear
platform of the train and was introduced
in neat speech by ex-senator Warren.
In reply, Mr.. Harrison said an ex-
President should be seen and not heard,
but that he had, however, not lost any OF
his convictions upon public questions.
His political convictions had been
strongly confirmed by the experience OF
the last year. ut does not matter who
is the President" said he, "but IL does
matter very much what the legislative
policies of the Government at Washing
ton are. | have never seen how pollcy
could open and crowd the workshops of
the old countries and at the same time
keep ours busy. so-called industrial
army is grathering from all parts OF the
country and hurrying to Washington to
tell our representatives that the work.
men of the country are in distress and
need relief. | believe that if the Repub-
lican policies had not been threatened We
should not have witnessed this appalling
manifestation. We shall get out of this
somehow. How soon and by what
method, the great patriotic people of this
country will determine. | thank you all
that your respect for me has survived my
term of office"
His speech was greeted with prolonged
applause, and when he concluded hun
dreds crowded on the platform to shake
his hand. He thought the outlook for Re-
publican success in the coming elections
was most encouraging, and believed In
diana would start the ball rolling by the
earlier Republican successes in that State.

Statement of the Christian League for
Promotion of Social Purity.
NEW YORK, April 19.-The National
Christian League for the Promotion of
Social Purity has issued a statement re-
garding its attitude toward the case of
Congressman Breckenridge. The state
ment denies that the President said the
league would appeal to Congress to de-
pose Colonel Breckenridge, whether there
was any law for it or not, or that the
league would ask Mrs. Breckenridge to
leave her husband. The statement con-
cludes:
"Resoloed, That the National Christian
League for the Promotion of Social Pu-
rity appeals TO the manhood and woman
hood of the nation to recognize i'll w. G..
p. Breckenridge the common enemy of
the church and of the home. of the State
and of society at large, and that they be
urged as an imperative duty. as well as
privilege, by preconcerted action, by in
dividnal effort, to teach the lesson that
the way of the transgressor is hard,' and
thus to make his life stand out as an ex-
ample and warning, lest conformation
lead 10 corruption and sap the vitality of
the church, injure society, imperil the

President Hill Answers Communica-
tion From Railway Employees.
ST. PAUL, April 19.-President Hill re-
ceived joint communication from the
American Railway Union and the Griev-
ance Committee of the striking employees.
He answered that the Great Northern was
always ready to hear it's employees on all
matters affecting their relations with the
company. Although neither in its ad-
dress nor in its substance did the answer
mention or seem to recognize the Amer
lean Railway Union, the officers of the
union announced themselves as in no
way satisfied with it. and promptly sent
out notices to the men along The line to
come to the conference.
Asked whether the men will now re-
turn to work, President Debs of the union
said: 1.-THE officers had no authority to
order the men to go out or to go to work, j,
that being decided by the men them
selves"
Hundreds of applications from compe-
tent railroad men all over the United
States have been received at the Great
Northern office None of these have been
accepted yet, as the company expects the
strike to be short-lived. All the brother
hood leaders left for their homes to-day.
THE SITUATION AT SEATTLE.
SEATTLE (Wash.), April 19.-Both the
Great Northern strikers and the local
othcials are waiting for developments at
the other end of the line. The strikers
have complete possession of the tele-
graph lines, and the operators refuse TO
talk with anybody unless he can give the
countersign. The operators are still run
ming little Associated Press of their own,

Lige1scer all along the line as far west as

THE NEW CHINESE TREATY.
SENATOR WHITES REASONS FOR
FAVORING IT.
1t Recognizes the Validity of the Acts
Now in Force, Which China
VIII Not Object to.
Special to the REcoRD-UN1oN.


WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Comment has
been caused by the announcement that
Senator White of California tavors the
new Chinese treaty. To the Associated
Press the Senator has given for the first
time reasons for his attitude on the SUBJ
ject.
''The treaty recognizes" he said, "the
validity of the Geary- McCreary Act, and
explicitly declares the Chinese Govern
ment will not object to its enforcement.
This is a substantial gain, because the Su-
preme Court sustained the validity of the
Geary law by a mere majority, and one
of the Justices whose vote determined the
case died; so all recognize the uncertainty
of second presentation before that tri-
bunal. The provision whereby the
United States agrees to furnish annually
to China the names of Americans resid-
ing there is, in effect, guarantee by the
Chinese Empire that Americans will not
be disturbed. While the Chinese Gov
ernment is not friendly to American resi-
dents, the effect of the proposition is that
it is made liable pecuniarily or otherwise
for injuries to our people there"
AS 10 the criticism against the privilege
to Chinese laborer of having wife,
property or debts, he said: 1.-THE proyi-
sion only applies to laborers registered.
Ii we agree, as n the Geary- -McCrearyAct,
a Chinaman may remain permanently If
registered, see no objection to his tenn
porary absence. | admit that Cinnamon
swear to anything; but in this case
veracity is passed upon by an American
official.
''Individuals protesting to be interested
announce that the proposed treaty will
open the door to Chinese invasion, but
no laborer can enter without a return
certificate, and if we admit that there
may be substitution-whichI do not con-
cede-the number of laborers cannot be
increased, because one certificate repre-
sents one man.
The right to return was explicitly
recognized by Congress in the Morrow
Act of 1888, and legislation was at that
time considered by anti-ChineSe advo-
Gates as progressive. The present treaty
is drawn up on the lines of the Morrow
bill, and as soon as it becomes evident the
Chinese Government intends to ratify it,
bill can be passed providing for the en-
forcement of the treaty provisions and
containing proper and stringent regula-
tions and penalties. Tbs Morrow bill
contained no provision for photography,
which is now supplies by the Geary
McCreary law. INV
s.The Chinese Government declined to
agree TO the treaty OF 1883 cpon the
ing Chinese laborers should be granted
by the Chinese Consul. Mr.. Cleveland
said in his message to Congress, dated
October /, 1888. approving the Scott Ex-
clusion Act, that in his view the necessary
effect of this contention would be prac-
tically TO place the execution of the treaty
beyond the control of the United States.v

WAR DECLARED.
Western Passenger Association Against
the Union Pacific.

the Union Pacific.
CHICAGO, April 19.-The open declara-
ton of war against the Union Pacific
Railroad by Chairman Caldwell of the
Western Passenger Association yester-
day was issued to-day, and beginning
April I'D the fight will be on for good.
The association lines declare they have
been forced into the fight by the per-
sistent decentralization in Western rates,
for which the Union Pacific has been re-
sponsible. The latter road, while the
association lines were endeavoring TO
persuade it back into the association,
quietly swallowed. by means of contract,
all the emigrant business to California
for 1894. The association lines are not
particularly hopeful of getting the pas
sengers away from the Union Pacific,
but they can make that line carry the
enigrants for rates that will entail loss,
and this they are going to do. Some
anxiety is felt by the association regard
ing the attitude of the Chicago and North
western, although that road has an
nounced that it will side with the associa-
ton. It's financial interests are rather
against a break with the Union Pacific,
and that is a mighty persuasion for any
railroad during the present depression of
business.

HoT SPRINGS, April 19.-E. S. Rock
wood, bookkeeper for large lumber
firm, to-day related to an Associated
Press reporter circumstances that may
lead to the unraveling of the mystery
surrounding the supposed murder of
William Wootton of Reedley, Cal, by
Professor w. f. Sanders. About week
ago, he said, letter came to this post
Office addressed to William Wootton. AS
there is young man working for Rock
woods firm by that name, the letter was
delivered TO him through mistake. On
opening it, he discovered it was for some
other Wootton, who lived in California.
So the letter was returned to the post
Office, and has since then been called for.
The letter was postmarked Sanders,
Cal.," but on the other corner 1t said,
Return to w. +. Sanders. Selma. Cal"
The letter commenced by addressing Mr..
Wootton as MY Dear Uncle" and re-
lated to some land matter that he was at
tending 10 for Wootton. This was signed

KANSAS CITY, April ia special to
the Journal, received at P. NJ. from
Guthrie, O. t., says: A report reached
here tonight of conflict between United
States Marshals and members of the Dal-
ton gang of outlaws. which is said to
have occurred northwest of Saltwater, in
the Pawnee reservation. The battle
lasted over an hour and two Marshals
and one outlaw are reported killed and
several others injured. United States
Marshal Nix has received no official
news and details cannot be obtained.
Marshal Nix of Oklahoma has been
planning for some days to catch the Dal-
ton gang, and Marshal Cox, with Heck
Thomas and Bill Tigheman of Perry.
with a crowd of Deputy Marshals, left
some days ago for the eastern part OF the
Cherokee Strip in pursuit. The Marshals
met Bruce Miller. one of the gang. and
the fight commenced on McElroy's
ranch, fifteen miles this side OF ingalls,.
Bill Dalton and Bill Doolan were near
by when the fight occurred and went to
Bruce Miller's assistance and regular
fight occurred.
The messenger that left the place of the
cOnulcb last ulSul Sd . LLdL O4shb PO1SOho
in all had been killed. and the latest news
from the field of conflict is that running
fight is still in progress and that 1t looks
very much like the noted outlaw gang
will be swept out Of existence.
The price of Dalton's capture, dead or
alive. is $500, and the price of Bill
Doolan is 81 500. The gang have terror
lied Oklahoma and Southern Kansas for
the past four years.
Z, TO VEPTEV THE STORY
KANSAS CITY, April 19.-After diligent
inquiry the Associated Press is unable to
verify tho story of bloody conflict be-
tween United States Deputy Marshals
and the so-called Dalton gang of outlaws.
Immediately upon receipt of the rumor
that battle had occurred the Associated
Press correspondent at Perry, Q. t., was
telegraphed to for verihcation or denial
of the affair, and the following reply was
received 'Basing his opinion upon the
reports as they have come in, the Sheriff
of this county says there is not word
of truth in the report Of a fight with the

STRIKING MINERS.
Thousands of Men Idle in the Coal
Regions.


ROCHESTER, q. ", April 19.-The coal
miners strike in the Bell, Lewis Il Yates
mine has spread to other mines of the
company and to those of the Rochester
and Pittsburg Coal and Iron Company.
The strike promises to be one of the
greatest that has occurred in many years
east of the Missouri River. The men
employed in the Big Soldier mine at
Reynoldsville, Pa, owned by Bell, Lewis
IL Yates, numbering about 1,50O, walked
out at noon to-day, and at the same Eour
those employed in the Adrian and Wat
son mines, owned by the Rochester and
Pittsburg Company, quit work. The
men at the Elnore, Beach Tree and Hell
vetia mines continued at work, but at =
o'clock announced their intention of not
returning tomorrow. This puts at least
1000 men out OF work as a forerunner O f
the big strike which goes into effect Sat-
urday noon, when it is estimated that
nearly 100000 men will quit work.
