DEos ON THE THREATENED STRIKE

lie Makes a Statement Regarding the
Course Of the Great Northern
Woodstock, ILL.,, Nov. 3-Eugene v.
Debs made the following statement to-
day with reference to the threatened
strike on the Great Northern railway
system:
1.-THE policy of the Great Northern
company in relation to its employees is
locally dishonest and disreputable. For
several months a scheme has been in
operation to disrupt the American Rail-
way Union, Notwithstanding the sol
emn pledge of Hill that no employee
should be interfered with on account Of
his connection with the organization.
The strike of April, 1894 resulted in an
agreement between the company and
the union, which was effected May l,
under the auspices Of a board Of arbi-
tration composed wholly Of merchants
and manufacturers, and of which
Charles A. Pillsbury was chairman. "A
tremendous reduction, ranging from 10
to 40 per cent, had been made by the
company, and those were restored by
the board. From that day to this the
company has not held to its promises
Competent ana trustworthy men nave
been discharged again and again for no
other reason than that they belonged to
the union.
whether the employees strike or not
will be determined by themselves am
unable to foretell their decision. Dirct-
ors Kelliher and Goodwin, in conjunc-
ton with the board OF mediation, are on
the ground, and l have faith in their
judgment, and will approve their
course, whatever that may be. Accord
ing to my advices, the Great Northern
company has already begun the hiring
Of thugs and ex-convicts at various
points.
STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT HILL
St Paul. Mimi, Nov. 3.--President
Hill and General Manager Warren SAID
tonight that they had no reports indi-
eating trouble of any sort along tile
line. They repeat their stories Of yes
terday, that the employees of the road
have made no complaints and have
sent assurances that complaints made
In their name are at this time unau-
thorized.

REAL PLOT AGAINST THE PALACE
Constantinople Nor Altogether safe for

Varna, Bulgaria, Nov. 4.-According
to advices received here from Constan-
tinOple, there seems to be no doubt of
the report of the discovery of a plot
against the palace Monday evening Is
correct. Three Musselmen are said to
have been arrested at Stamboul in con-
nection with it. In addition, several
houses have been searched and guam
tity Of arms seized.
Considerable alarm is reported to ex-
list at Tildiz Kiosk in consequence of the
fact that the Albanian guards refuse
to do duty there any longer. 1t is sup
posed the guards were suborned by
Musselmen and there seems little doubt
that eight soldiers were executed and
"a others sent to different prisons.

The judge was greatly moved by the appeal and, after administrating lecture. sen fenced him to the Albany penitentiary for Two years and fine of &l07 and costs The prisoner heartily thanked the court for its leniency.
