BIG STRIKE AT BALTIMORE.
Six Thousand Garment workers Al
most sure to Go Out.

Baltimore. Nd. March 27-Unless the
clothing manufacturers Of Baltimore
come TO terms with the 5000 striking gar
ment workers. or express their willingness
TO arbitrate their points Of difference by
Monday morning. a boycott will be de-
ciareq against Baltimore clothing all over
the United States.
fhe garment workers are firm, the fed
Grafton of labor is back of them, and
everything, they assert, is in readiness for
that powerful organization to play what
y considers its trump card. Heretofore
the boycott was confined to only two Bal
Jmore firms; after Monday all Baltimore
made-clothing will be actively boycOtted
should no agreement be arrived at.
rms decision was reached to-day at a
protracted meeting of the strike leaders.
II was also decided to issue a circular,
making an appeal to labor organizations
throughout the United States for funds
70 support the 5000 Baltimore strikers.
Inc local labor unions have given financial
ad TO the strikers during the four weeks
they have been out of work, and 81, 200 was
received to-day from New York, but more
money must be had soon.
General Secretary White, who is in
charge of the strike, is in favor of arbi-
trating the differences between the manu-
tacturers and the garment workers, but
II is not likely that he will be given an Op-
portunity to do so, as the manufacturers
say that there is nothing to arbitrate and
they absolutely decline to recognize the
strikers save as individuals.

REPUBLICANS AFTER TEXAS.
A Combine With the POpuIists to Get
the Presidential Electors.

Com bine With the POpulists to Get
the Presidential Electors.
Austin, Tex, March 27.-There is talk
here of political move which, if success
full will probably wheel Texas into the
republican presidential list of states this
year. An effort is to be made to have the
republicans and .populists fuse, the re-
pubHcans to support the populist ticket
for all state Offices, upon condition that
the republican electors are placed on the
populists' ballots. The Importance of such
a combination, If accomplished, can be
seen from the following figures: The vote
of the state two years ago stood Gull
berson, dem., 2O7, ,167; Nugent, pop 152, 731;
Makemson, rep, $3.50; Schltz, lily white
rep, so, ,205 These figures show that the
opposition to the democracy two years
ago had a majority of over $1,000. The
defections since then have greatly in
creased the number. The fusion move
ment was put on foot at Dallas two weeks
ago by Edward Green, president of the
Midland railroad, Judge NJ. K. Makemson
and other prominent republicans and
populists. The populists say that the
fusion will undoubtedly be made.
Dallas Tex, March ga meeting of
sound money democrats was held here to-,
day in which about 200 prominent politic
ians took part. They practically determ-
ined to bolt the party if a free silver
platform is adopted by the state conven-
tion, which action appears to be q fore
gone conclusion. The meeting passed res
olutions favoring the calling of a state
convention of sound money democrats TO
consider the situation. Chairman Dudley
terly announced. Resolutions declaring in
favor of the gold standard and full term
of populist government is preferable to
the free silver democracy, were adopted.

Roane county matters, both business and
political, killed himself at Kingston to-
day. He chose a method so terrible and
unusual that the entire community was
shocked. During the progress of the Hines
murder trial, Bacon was a leading witness.
His testimony was of special Importance,
and the attorneys on one side found it ne
cessary to get rid of its effect. An indict-
ment for perjury resulted. The charge
caused Bacon to suffer mentally until he
became deranged. To-day he went into the
yard, secured a stick Of dynamite that had
been bought for blasting purposes, quietly
laid down on it and lit the fuse. A terrible
explosion followed. The horror stricken
neighbors rushed out to find that the man
body was literally thrown to the four
winds. He left no explanation of his act.
