The Minnesota Ex-senator Is on His Way
Co Europe.
CHICAGO, Nov. There Is no doubt
that ex-senator Alonzo q. Whiteman Of
Minnesota, the forger and race track
.welsher,' fed to Europe a few days ago
ON the steamer Ems" said Superin-
tendent Murray of the Pinkerton
agency.
when Harry Conway was arrested
some time ago on the charge of being
implicated in swindling the National
Bank of the Republic out of $4OO.
Whiteman at once disappeared. Sew
eral days ago Conway confessed and
said that Whiteman was his pal in rob-
bing the bank. We had not suspected
Whiteman of the crime at all, and had
not been looking for him, and Conway's
information came too late to do MS any
good"
A man who is well acquainted with
Whiteman sent his daughter TO Europe
ON the Ems. As he waved her goodbye
when the steamer left the dock he saw
Whiteman standing on the deck of the
vessel. The forger waved his hand in
adieu to his acquaintance. who in

A college student in one of our west

was finished to find that his father. a
clergyman with a small salary, was
eking out his living by running a small
farm. One of the adjuncts Of the farm
was a cow, a pretty good animal, which

Trouble mt Pullman.

Chicago, July 21. - More trouble oc-
cured at Pullman when the laundry girls
quit work. When the girls left the works
they were surrounded by demonstratiye
mob of from $40 to 1900 women and
children. A portion of the crowd fol-
lowed Minnie Kaufman through the
streets of Pullman to her home. Near
Market hall they stopped her progress
and began calling her names, and one
woman, it is said, struck the girl i'll the
face. Several policemen stepped in nj
this juncture and gave Miss Kaufman
protection rs far as her home No arr
rests were made. In the meantime an
escort of ten policemen, led by Sergeant
Riley, was having an interesting time
protecting seventeen of the laundry girls
who live in Roseland. A mob of nearly
500 women and children and few men
followed them from the works down
Florence avenue and on One Hundred
and Eleventh street, across the Illinois
Central tracks. The police were not ac-
customed to dealing with crowd OF
the feminine gender and did little more
than to keep the most turbulent women
from seizing, hold of the frightened girls.
The entire march was enlivened with
cries of scab and other epithets. At Rose
land, where the girls separated, each was
followed home by a small group of women
whose object seemed to be to see where
each girl lived.
Shortly after fifty Hollanders, who
have been employed about the works as
lumber showers, track graders and re-
pairers, left the southwestern gate of the
works for their homes in Roseland. They
had guard of sixteen policemen, conn
manded by Lieut.. Bassett. Scarcely had
they come from the works when 100
strikers, gesticulating wildly, making
threats, shouting 'scab'' and other names
surrounded them. They took the same
course toward Roseland as had the laun-
dry girls. Before Roseland was reached
the crowd following them had increased
largely and it had become necessary for
the police to charge it several times with
liberal use of the club before it was
dispersed. Each of the men was followed
to his home by several strikers, but was
