DEBS ON THE STRIKE
CHICAGO INTER-ocEAN

Eugene V. Debs, a figure of heroic size
| in the industrial world Of last summer,
| lectured at the Auditorium last night be-
| fore an audience of 120 people or more.
| The audience was in sympathy with the
lecturer, and on appearing MI. Deps was
! greeted with a most enthusiastic welcome
| and was appauded vehemently through
| out his address. The promised sensational
! disclosures were absent from the lecture
and on the whole, while it was i'm
passioned in character it was conservative
to the extent of decrying anarchy ana
maintaining that the rights OF the work
ingman could be best and most speedily
secured at the ballot box.
There was little formality about the
meeting. On the stage hundred or more
chairs were placed, but they were not &C.
cupied by prominent lights in the labor

lawyers and greatest orators IN the city.
came around into the wings OF the stage,
asked who was running the thing, and
getting no response departed to take
Seat in the Auditorium. Finally Jesse
Cox announced Eugene Y: Debs.
Dressed in Prince Albert coat and
black trousers, faultless as to linen, Mr..
Debs stepped from the wings OF the stage
to the front and was given cheering,
most enthusiastic welcome. So enthu.
siastic was the audience, the hundreds OF
ladies present not being less SO than the
Law his opening remarks for several min-
utes.
Beginning he declared that many thou
sands of our people were viewing the
continued unrest in our social and eco
monte system with grave alarm. Many
thought it foreshadowed the failure OF
salf-government. But notwithstanding
all the evil signs and the forebodings
they beget, the speaker proclaimed him.
sell no pessimist. AS an optimist he saw
the ship of state, freighted with the
highest hopes and aspirations of man,
though storm buffeted now, sailing into
a harbor of peace and plenty. The feudal
system, he declared, had given way TO
the usage or competitive system, and that
in turn would give way to the co-opera-
tive system, and life, liberty and love
would save the world.
He spoke feelingly of the condition OF
labor under existing conditions, and said
that the oppression the working men SUI
fered would be thrown off, but by no ap-
peal to anarchy, to lawlessness.
And then after many eloquent periods
illustrating the woeful condition OF labor,
frightened by hopeful predictions that he
mad he came to the Pullman strike.
This h detailed as it has been repeatedly
told, the expressions and sufferings OF the
Pullman people being depicted graphic
ally. Their efforts to adjust these troubles
were recounted and the other railroad Man.

ccidents were not so numerous as some
people have imagined. From St. Joseph
to Denver the trip took seven days, and
from Denver to Sacram ento was journey
OF ten days. That was, of course, by the
regular stage route, and little time was
lost in making it.
To accommodate our business we had
about 150 coaches, most of which we kept
running all the time. To haul them we
had 1900 horses scattered along the route
from st. Joseph to Sacramento. In adj
dition we had 5000 or 1000 head of cattle,
which were used in hauling heavy freight
and transporting feed for the horses anu
provisions for the men. You can see
that the business was not by any means
small one and it continued to grow as
long as there was any use for such means
OF transportation. This was until the
! completion of the Union Pcaitic Rail
way to California in 1870. Then overland
traffic and mail service could be managed
to better purpose by the railroad, and our
pony express went out of existence. But
up to that time from the day that the
route was first opened in 1860 its business
had steadily increased. Even the build
ing of the railroad assisted us, for our line
was the best adapted for carrying to West
ern station employees and provisions. -

ayers Association was brought in to play
its role in the industrial tragedy of last
summer. AS a general proposition Mr..
Debs declared he was opposed to strikes,
as they did not, under existing circum-
stances, help working men, but rather in
tensitied their condition of servitude. He
did, however, clam that when the choice
only existed between degradation and
strike, the strike then became a duty.
That duty he justified by the course of
our revolutinary sires, and declared Wash
lngton to have been a striker, a rebel and
a revolutionist. And moreover, he de-
clared the forefathers to have been all boy
co tiers, sally that much amused his au-
dience;. Claiming the Pullman strike to
| have been duty the men owed to their
manhood, the sympathetic strike of the
Railway Union, he averred, was but an
effort to proclaim and establish the broth
erhood of man.
The especial points Of the lecture were
among others, that Mr.. Debs accused the
Managers Association of inviting and pre-
cipitating riot, and setting cars on fire to
invoke armed interference in their be-
half. He charged the managers with
arson. all the bloodshed and violence of
the unpleasantness of last summer. The
and the managers all to gain by causing
riot and conflagration. And, he said, it
was strange and significant that no ex-
pensive Pullman but only rickety $25 box
cars were burned.
He denounce the Managers Association

ton organized to cut wages. and .precipi
tate strikes-and then exclaimed Who
are the conspirators?'' He pictured
George NJ. Pullman as "a father who
put a premium on orphans and declared
he would have to be equipped with a
patent fire escape when he faces the here

ally said he had heard the c-ier in Judge

able court.
General Miles he declared ought to be
stripped of his epaulettes and drummed
out of camp to the ''Rogues march, and
he maintained that the strike last summer
was triumphant until the courts illegally
and the soldiers without warrant inter
fered.
The burden of Mr.. Debs' argument was
that the railroad managers and not the
officers OF the Railway Union were the
conspirators who blocked travel and incon-
venienced the public last summer.

1.-The first express ever run across the
plains was started by man by the name
of Butterheld in 1885, said Alexander
Benham of Montana, the manager of the
first overland express.
1T started at Little Rock, Ark, and
followed a southern route through Kansas,
New Mexico, Arizona and then to Los

1850 our company was formed for the
purpose of carrying the mails to the Pacific
coast. 1t was known as the Central Over

BURIED IN JEWELS.

The Magnificent Ornaments of Some I'm

The following most curious account of
a remarkable discovery appears in the
Academy of March Is, which says: "Mr.
III. Villiers Stuart writes to the secretary
of the Egyptian Exploration Fund from
Cairo under date of March 4, as follows: "A
few days ago there was discovered at
Dashour the graves of two princesses of
the twelfth dynasty intact. The collins
had moldered away, and the mummies

full. One of the coronets was. in fact a
wreath of forget-me-nots, made of precious
stones, mounted in gold stems. At inter-
walls occurred Maltese crosses and precious
stones set in gold. This lovely wreath was
as perfect and looked as fresh as on the
day it was made-a couple of centuries be-
fore the time OF Abraham more than
1000 years ago. 1t illustrates passage in
the poetic epitaph on the funeral pail of
Queen ls-em-kheh, ''She is armed with
flowers every day." | visited Dashour and
saw, in stu, the sarcophagus in which
these treasures were found, as also that of
the other princess. She also had a lovely
coronet, fitted with a socket in which was
inserted a spray OF various flowers made
in jewels, with gold stems and gold foliage.
Besides these. there are necklaces, brace
let's, armlets, anklets, daggers, charms. etc.

Riordan and Wren of the Union hand

The match was the best of five games, 81

and until the last the excitement was kept
up. The final game was won by Riordan
and Wren, largely owing to Wren's mag

BOXING AND ATHLETICS
The King and Peppers Fistic Entertain
ment-A New Athletic
Scheme.

The Imperial Athletic Club at Colma
will be opened on the evening of the oath
! inst. under new management. Professors
! Joseph McAuliffe, Barney Farley and
Charles Bergen ct al. have transferred their
| interest in the club to two weIl-known
| sporting men, and the latter propose to
give boxing entertainment every month
should the sporting public give the pas
time liberal patronage.
The card for the opening night will be a
twenty-round contest between Joe King
| and Henry Peppers (colored) The pugi-
lists have signed an agreement to fight for
purse and share of the gate receipts at
| 100 pounds.
King will train for the mill at resort

aided as the "curtain-raiser" to the event
of the evening.
In6 dIndIeUT athletic ClQDS OF CQe East
ern States have discovered a scheme
through which they hope to popularize an
outdoor pastime, which of late years has
fallen off considerably in public favor. In
a letter to member of the Olympic Club
from New York it is stated that the Ath-
letic Association of the University of Penn
sylvania has hit upon a novel plan for in
ducing ladies to take greater interest in
athletics.
The scheme is to issue season tickets to
the ladies at the nominal price of 81. These
tickets are good for entrance to all athletic
contests and entitle the holder to the
choicest seats of the grand stand.
The Olympic Club of this city might pro-
fit by the system now in vogue in the East
by adopting similar plan. 1t is safe to
say that if the Olympics should hit upon
scheme by which they can fill their grand
stand with ladies when athletic meetings
are held the men would quickly flock to
the grounds. Without the presence of
ladies, however, amateur sports cannot
hope to be made popular anywhere.

4 GREAT YACHT RACE.
The Regatta of the San Fran
cisco Club to Be Held
on Sunday.
A Dance at the Club House on
Saturday Night-The Race
Open to All.

On next Sunday afternoon the first re
gatta of the season will be held under the
auspices of the San Francisco Yacht Club
open to all yachts belonging to organized
clubs on the bay, and the greatest race
ever held on the bay is confidently looked
for by the yachtsmen. Over ninety invita-,
tons have been issued, and the list of en-
tries will be closed at noon to-day.
The regatta will be the second run fo1
the handsome cup now held by the Queen
The classification, based on load water
line, will be as follows: Glass A, yachts
over 80 feet in length and not over 35
class 2, between 80 and So feet; class 3, be-
tween % and 80 feet; class 4, between e
and % feet, and class 5, under 20 feet.
The sailing regulations are those of the
San Francisco Yacht Club. Fhe Seawan-
haka Yacht Club rules will govern simply
in the matter of classification and compu-
tation for sailing length. The time allow
ance is based on the rule of the latter club,
and for this purpose it is requested that
the official measurements of boats in the
various clubs be furnished the regatta
committee.
The course is as follows:
Starting from an imaginary line drawn
from flag on clubhouse wharf to stake
boat Chispa; thence TO Shag Rock; thence
to stakeboat off Angel Island bell; thence
back to starting point, leaving all stake
boats on port hand. Glasses l, and go
over the course twice; the others only
once. Finish must be made in crossing
the line by leaving stakeboat Chispa on
port hand: and those classes going over
course twice must leave said stakeboat on
port hand both first time around and at
finish.
Those not going over the exact course or
passing the stakeboat on wrong side may
consider themselves ruled out, without
protest. If there is any question of doubt
as to the wording of the rules it may be an
swered before the race on consultation
with the regatta committee.
Yachtsmen are requested to keep the
course clear between the clubhouse wharf
and the Chispa and not anchor there or
otherwise obstruct the course until all the
yachts have started and finished
The judges of the race will be Charles G..
Yale Matthew Turner and ]. NJ. Shotwell.
A preparatory gun will be fired five min
utes before the race. Class 1 will be sent
off at l 80 P. NJ. and the remaining classes
at intervals of ten minutes each, the last
two going off in bunch. Before each
start whistles will be sounded.
On Saturday night there will be hop at
the clubhouse, and in the stream will be
lying at anchor all the vessels whiclfare to
participate in the morrow's races. The
North Pacific Coast road has arranged to
make an extra trip for~the occasion. The
steamer San Rafael will leave San Fran
cisco for Sausalito at P. NJ. and returning
leave sausalito at II P. NJ.
