TO ARREST DEBS.

At a Late Hour This Afternoon a War
Prepared.
CHICAGO, June 29-2:45-It is believed
that Debs will be arrested before night
No particulars can be obtained at pres
ent, but it is believed a warrant for his
arrest is already prepared.
President Debs today in an address to
the railway men of America setting
forth the cause and objects of present
strike said:
"The struggle with the Pullman COM
pany has developed into a contest be-
tween the producing classes and the
money power of the country.
This was what Lincoln predicted at
the close of the war and it was this re-
Election that gave the great emancipator
his glOOmiest forebodIngs. We stand
upon the ground that the working men
are entitled to a just proportion of the
proceeds of their labor. This Pullman
denied them"
Continuing he calls upon all working
men to refrain from acts of violence, and
in conclusion says: Il have faith in the
great body of railway employees of the
country, and am confident they will
maintain an unbrOken front in spite of
any opposition that may be brought to
bear against them. | am perfectly con-
uQenI OF success. w e cannot Iall-
President Debs of the A. K u. said
today concerning the posi- bility of his
arrest by order of the United States
court: Il anticipate no trouble with
the courts, and L hardly how
can be arrested until l commit, or
cause to be committed, some overt
act of violence against the lines which
the courts now operate. You will no
tice that Judge Caldwell says that we
have a right to order the men out on the
Santa Fe. He says, however, that as
soon as the men leave company's-Or the
courts employ, they must in way
interfere with the running of trains. Ger
tainly they will do that, for they are un-
der orders to resort to no violence.
t'Judge Caldwell admits that the men
have right to quit work. That
is what we contend for and we
are therefore satisfied with the
courts ruling. The receivers control
over the Santa Fe is just the same as a
managers power over any line. We
realize the importance of avoiding any
trouble with the government and we
have neither wish intention to him
der the carriage of the mails.
"Ihe situation grows more encourag-
ing each day. We feel that we have sue
ceeded as far be expected There
have been evil breaks thus far and
we shall do our best to prevent any. Our
policy will be one of moderation"

at the Curtis street yards and at many
other points. But no violence nor inter
ference was attempted, a force of forty
policement at Curtis street being suffi-
cient to over-awe them there.
Preparing For Long Fight.
The session of the General Managers
association begun at 12 o'clock, gave
every indication that the roads
are preparing for long and
determined fight Telephones were
being run into the association head
quarters; additional rooms were being
fitted up and other preparations were in
progress.
Shortly after the beginning of the ses-
sion, VIM A. Pinkerton appeared and
tapped on the jealousy guarded door to
the meeting room, and was at once ad-
mitted. His visit was Significantly re-
gArded, and it was rumored that it was
the intention of the railroad people to ar
rest the strike leaders.
Director Rogers of the A. r
O., said today of the situation on the
Milwaukee & 81. Paul road:
"The threatened strike on the c., NJ. &
St Z. has not been averted. Leaving
the switchnlen's troubles out, the Pull
man question still remains. ! hey have
not YET cut the Pullman cars off so the
strike is bound to come The switch
mems trouble referred to by Mr. Lynch
was the alleged employment of special
police to turn the switches in the face of
an agreement said to have been made by
the road not to employ non-union men
in the place of the strikers"
Director Lynch of the union said that
the general strike order on the Chicago
Il Great Western had gone into effect as
was planned for this morning.
The Maple Leaf is in a state of utter
paralysis" said he. ''IJ is tied up al Des
Moines, ST. Paul and DuIuth. Our ad-
vices are that 1t is almost as badly
knocked out as the Northern Pacific
However, the branch to Kansas City is
not yet affected Ii is the opinion that

dered imperative before Saturday.

will be put to work under ample pro-
lection.
"Reports from the various roads were
received and considered. The Fort

ported that some of their men
had struck since last night. We
closed our shops at Milwaukee

Dir. Earling stated that the trains on
his road are running today and that there
has been no serious trouble since the de-
railment of passenger train in the Chi
cago yards last night

Upon receipt of President Huntington's
message. Vice President and General
Manager Towne issued bulletin TO all
employees of the Southern Pacific COM
pany, calling their attention to the fact
that they would be doing a great injury
and injustice to the Southern Pacific and
its patrons by consenting to observe the
instructions of the A r. O., as seventy
five per cent of the sleeping cars run over
their road were owned by themselves and
not by the Pullman company. The bull
ietin appealed to the men to handle their
cars as heretofore If they do not COM
ply it is thoug ht that Mr.. Huntington's
instructions will be put into effect
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1894-06-29

this morning they did so, but three men
reported for duty. AS a result but two
switch engines are today at work in those
yards, and those are likely to be stopped
at any moment.
In addition to this the strikers laid
their cases before George p. Kern, who
at present represents President Debs here
and after a conference which occupied
the entire night Kern wired the facts to
Mr.. Debs and officially requested him to
order the entire Gould Southwestern sys-
tenn tied up unless Lally should be re-
instated.
Kern states that as result of this there
is not the slightest doubt but that all the
railroads controlled by the Goulds will be
dead as far as the turning Of wheels is
concerned, by o'clock tomorrow mem
ing.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Few delays on
account of the Pullman boycott were re-
ported to the postotfice department to-
day The story of total blockade of
the mails sent out from Chicago was de-
MED in official dispatches today.
General superintendent White of the
railway mail service has held frequent
conferences with Acting Postmaster
Jones on the action to be pursued by the
department and over the developments
as shown by the official dispatches. If
the postal system should become much
more serious it is probable that Assistant
General superintendent Nelson will be
detailed to represent the department in
the west.

The Southern Pacific President Speaks
with Moderation. But Firmly.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 29.-Gen-
eraI Manager Iowne of the Southern
Pacific has received the following from
c. p. Huntington of New York:
1--WE feel quite sure after sober second
thought our men will not leave US as the
company have very little interest in the
cars on the Southern Pacific the tying up
of the road would only injure and dis
commode the general public.
Il feel sure that they do not wish to
take control of the property of the
Southern Pacific as they would be doing
If we gave them what they asked for: l
wish you would call the men together as
far as you can give them our views and
after dis cussing a sufficient time if
they do moi then accede to our request
but leave our work, you will get other
men to take their places if pO sible, and
if not let the trains stand as they are.
1.-The question of what cars the com
pany should run is one that rests with
the owners of the property, for owner
ship must carry control. You know
how much l desire to protect the wage
workers. but this matter between Pullman
and his employees Is something that Go
not know anything about and 1t should
not be used by the men to the injury of
ourselves and our patrons, and L will say
that, as l did yestereay, if the men after
full discussion refuse to work, wish
you would discharge them and let them.
understand that they will never be en-
ployed again by the Southern Pacific
company.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC PARALYzED.
President Deb Orders Traffic to stop Oh
the Entire Line.

the Entfrs Line.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 29.-By or
ders of President Debs a strike is or
dered on the Southern Pacific and the
entire system is paralyzed today. The
order was issued from Chicago
last night and is the result
of the discharge at Oakland last night of
three brakemen who refused to go out
on a train to which Pullmans were
coupled. The strike took effect at mid
night.
The tie-up at this end of the Southern
Pacific is about complete. Even the
Southern Pacific ferry service across San
Francisco bay is badly crippled.
Tomorrow the company says it will be-
gin to bring in common laborers to work
in the yards and at freight houses, to
serve switchmen and in such other
capacities may be necessary The
officials say the supply of idle men is
abundant, and there will be no doubt
about the success of their plan if they
are given the proper police protection.
If the strike continues To extend to
other points along the road, the officials
say this may increase their EN- barass-
ment, but they will pursue the course
outlined just as vigorously and they have
no doubt of being able to control their
road ultimately in spite of a general
strike.

Greek Hun1Or.

When, after Salamis, Xerxes was in
full flight for Asia, and the overcrowd-
ed vessel, SO the story ran, was laboring
in the storm, Xerxes, getting frightened,
asked the captain whether there was
any chance Of safety. "None," said the
captain, unless the ship is lightened
of some of its passengers. Whereupon
Xerxes, turning to the Persians, ex-
claimed, Nov is the time to show your
loyalty to your king, for on you my
safety depends" And without word
the we'll trained courtiers made obei-
sance and leaped into the sea.
Thus unburdened, the ship arrived at
the land, whereupon Xerxes presented
the captain with golden crown for
having saved the kings life, and then
ordered his head off for having caused
the death of so many noble Persians.-

Antiquity of Smoking.

In the mortar of the tower of Kirk
stall abbey, which fell in the year 1879,
Whitaker mentions that several little
smoking pipes' were found, showing
that the smoking of some herb or other
was in use in England 400 years before
tobacco was introduced. DR.. Petrie
mentions that pipes Of bronze for smok-
ing are often found in ancient Irish tu-
null. In the monument of Donough
O'Brien, king Of Thomond, who was
killed A. D. 1927 and inferred in the
abbey of Corcumrae, County Glare, he
is represented with short pipe, or du-
deem, in his mouth.
It may be observed that in some very
ancient coal workings, which were
found under Lambton castle some 80
years ago, some Of these very old smok-
ing pipes were found, and a generation
or two ago not far from Lambton very
poor old folks might often be seen smok-
ing the common white lowered yarrow,
a herb frequently found in country
churchyards. -Newcastle Chronicle.

THE COWBOYS LASSO.
With It He Is Almost as Good Marksma1
as With the Rifle.

With It He Is Almost as Good a Marksman
as With the Rifle.
''The cowboys of New Mexico, Texas
and Arizona are all skilled in the art of
using the lasso," said Louis Edwards of
Santa Fe. II used to be in the ranch
ing line myself and once thought l
could throw rope as straight as any
man living. But that was before I had
mixed to any extent with the Mexicans.
AS good as the American cowboys are,
they can't hold a candle to a greaser
when it comes to the roping business
They can do things with hemp that no
other mortals can ever hope to accom-
plish. AS the Australian stands out pre-
eminently in throwing the boomerang,
SO does the ignorant son of the land of
God and liberty exceed all other men
in this one accomplishment.
"a Mexican will chase steer at full
speed, and while he guides his broncho
with one hand whirl his rope with un-
erring aim with the other, and it ism t
once in thousand times that the moose
will fail to catch just where the rider
meant. A favorite trick with them is
to stick a lot of long handled knives in
the ground close together within the
limits of a narrow circle and bet with
outsiders that they can ride past at race
horse speed and pick up any one Of the
knives designated with a rope They
are good marksmen with the rifle, too,
but in this regard the cowboys are fully
their peers. Washington Post.

ACID FOR MAKING SUGAR.

A Curious Process Which Has Met With
- Some Success In France.
A. very novel method of making sug-
ar has been patented in France by M.
Pellegrini. Sugar is chemically. com
pound Of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen
in such proportions that if carbonic
acid, water and certain kinds Of illumi-
mating gas could be persuaded to unite
in the proper quantities the composition
Of sugar would be exactly initiated.
Hitherto 10 one has been able to make
sugar by mixing water with two kinds
Of gas, but M. Pellegrini claims to have
succeeded. The apparatus he uses con-
sists Of large block of pumice stone
cleansed by soaking first in sulphuric
acid and then in water, which is set in
an iron box plated with nickel inside
The length Of the box is three times
that Of the pumice stone block, which
is tightly fitted in the middle, and pipes
are arranged to convey the ingredients
to the empty ends of the box, as requir-
ed. Two Of them enter from the sides
and serve to bring carbonio acid and
hydrocarbon gas, while another pipe
from above branches so as to reach both
empty portions of the box and conveys
steam. All the pipes are fitted with
valve and pressure gauges
Another pipe at the bottom of the
box serves as an outlet. At first this
pipe is closed, as is also the steam pipe
from above, and carbonic acid is forced
into one end Of the box, while ethylene
gas is forced into the other under equal
pressure and in equal volumes. A few
minutes later the steam valve above is
opened and the steam forced in under
the same pressure. AS the gases unite
the pressure falls, so that the supply Of
each must be kept constant. At the end
of half an hour the supply Of gas is shut
off, the outlet pipe is opened, and one of
the chambers is found to be filed with
strip containing 25 per cent Of sugar.
The strip is drawn off for refining,
and as soon as the apparatus is cool it
is ready for fresh charge. The ethy-
lene gas can be obtained by roasting
rosin or grease, but M. Pellegrini's pat
ent covers other hydrocarbons, such as
petroleum products The explanation is
that the three gases are condensed in
the pores of the pumice stone and there
unite. American Architect.
