Chicago, Nav. 5.-WilHam E. Burns, one
of the directors of the A. 4. L., who Is in
communication with the employees of the
Great Northern Raiiruad, when asked in
regard to the situation, said:
'The grievances OF the men pn the Great
Northern are numerous aud include the
discharge of men without cause and a re-
duction of wages. We feel there is a con-
centrated movement among the railroad
managers to wipe cut organized labor
1.-The committee of the board of mediation
was refused an audience by President
Hill and General Manager Warren, OF the
Great Northern. This committee repre-
sented thirty-six local unions Of the A. K.

ing the questions in controversy We're re-
ferred back to the men for individual ac-
ton.
~ have not heard what, If anything,
has been done tu-Iay, but aR satisfied
there will be a strik. unless Hill recedes
and treats with the men. All the ein-
ployes OF the Great Northern belong to
the A. K. U. We want TO prevent
strike, but my advices are the men do not
want to work under existing conditions"
Asked il strike would he ordered In
Chicago in case Of one occurring on the
Great Northern, Mr.. Burns said:
II IS expected that tne mefnpers ol tIie
A. X. U. viii stand together. The strike
may come On the Great Northern and be
settled within its limits. But If that is
impossible such action as the conditions
from time to time demand will be taken.
The farmers refuse TO ship grain and
business has not met the expectations OF the
railroad managers.
They want TO crush out organized labor,
so that In the event Of a lack OF freight
receipts they will be enabled TO reduce
wages to pay the interest On watered

Richmond, Va, Nov. 5.-The election
IN virginia to-day was purely local,
there being no State officers or Congress-
men to elect. There is no United States
Senator to be elected by the next general
assembly, and therefore the contests over
tie members of the house of delegates
and State senate created little interest
outside of the localities where they oc-
CURED. Although the weather was good
the vote was very light.
The movement for reform in elections
by changing the present election law SO as
TO give each of the two leading parties con-
stable at the polls instead o only one as now
was the chief issue.
The negroes took very little interest
in the election and in some counties did
not go to the polls. There were very
few Republican candidat ties and most OF the
reform candidates are Democrats: therefore
1t is almost impossible to compare the vote
with any other election.
The Democratic majority in the general
assembly will not be materially -educed
although the candidates elected are largely
new men and unused to legislative meth

elected here, and the opposition was very
light.

Prince William to-day has been unusually

ture. was elected without opposition. Mush-

TWENTY TWO ROUND FIGHT
Pretty Private Affair Pulled OF in
a Barn in the Suburbs.
Both Men We're Amateurs, But Fur
nished Excellent Sport for
Few Selected Friends.

Walter Arnold and +. NJ shenk, two East
Washington aspirants for pugilistic honors,
fought to finish in an old barn on the
Badensburg Road, on Monday night, for
$50 q side.
The fight was one Of the prettiest set-tos
ever pulled off in this locality, and was
strictly a private affair, only about half
dozen of the friends OF the principals being
present. For a long fine, 1t is said. there
was bad blood between Arnold and
Shenk and about SIX weeks ago they
agreed to settle their differences. They
went into hard training Immediately
..Knappy" Herman having charge of Ar
rold and friend looked after Shenk, and
when they stepped into the ring both were
in the pink OF condition.
The boys were evenly matched in every
way, both in age and weight. Shenk, who
is only nineteen years old, tipped the scales
at 1876 pounds, and Arnold, who is one year
older, weighed in at l52 pounds.
The fight was desperate and bloody
and lasted twenty-five rounds. Both Men
showed great endurance and gamcness
and took the punishment like professionals.
For the first few rounds both SPARE
cautiously waiting for an opening. II
was not, ho wever, until the fifth that an
opportunity was presented and Arnold took
advantage OF IL, ana went IN with rush.
He landed, but not as he expected and was
met with terrific stop by Shenk Just as
time was called.
From this round on tue fight was any
body's. neither party having the advan-
tage. 1t was give and take through every
round up 10 the twentieth. Both men were
weak, but fighting desperately, and il was
evident they were in to stay, not for
money, but for blood, and they were both
getting plenty Of 1t.
Al the opening OF the twenty-first round
Arnold was willing but weak. and it was
evident he could not last much longer.
shenk, seeing this. played for wind, and
when the round ended he was in better
condition uIan at the opeuing.
The outstanding of his strength stood
SheDk well In the twenty-second and last
round. Arnold came up smiling. but it
was smile that plainly said, I'm here and
that's ALL He mades last effort, he
rushed, but was caught on the chin by
an upper cut from Shenk and 1t was all
night with him after.
The fight was perfectly satisfactory to
all concerned, except Of course, TO Arnold,
who, however. had no tcH1piatnts to make.
Although badly battered, both meu were
out yesterday and there is strong talk OF
another meeting for q larger purse being
arranged in the near future.

Lieut. Mason'S nnual Report Suggests
Needed improvements.
The annual report Of Lieut.. Mason, In
charge of the proving grounds at Indian
Head. has been made TO the Navy Depart
ment, and contains several items of general
interest. The report deals, of course, with
the conditions and repairs at the grounds.
Considerable damage was done to firing
butt No. 2, which had To stand the brunt of
the shot from the twelve and thirteen-inch
guns. The three-inch wrought iron plates
have been replaced by six-inch cast iron
material, which will be a better resistant.
A brick bomb proof has been erected in
the rear of the range battery and also 800
linear feet of brick wall IL retain the sand
for tests.
Lieut. Mason went into agriculture and
succeeded as farmer. He raised about
400 bushels of corn, OF good grade; 150
bushels of inferior grade, and about tons
of fodder, all of which will be sufficient to
support the stock. This experiment is to
be continued annually.
1t is recommended that the present sys-
tenn of lighting by oil be replaced by
electric lighting, and that cheap dwellings
be erected for the employees, boat crews,
and the families Of employees. Lieut.. Mason
thinks that six houses, Of brick manufac-
tured at the station, each to cost about
$500, would be sufficient, for the present,
to accommodate the employees:
