GLASS MEN ORGANIZED
INDIANA UNIONS NOW UNITED
AGAINST THE MANUFACTJ RERS.
Western Yearly Meeting C1osed-Old

Special to the Indianapolis Journal,
ANDERSON. Ind, Sept. PA meeting
was held at Alexandria this afternoon by
official representatives from every lodge or
union OF glass blowers and gatherers in
this State, taking in the workers of every
one of the thirty-one plants in Indiana
The purpose OF this meeting is to effect a
closer union between these two classes of
workers and to consider the demands of a
cut made by the manufacturers, which ac-
counts for them being out at present, and
TO also consider the wage scale presented
by their committee to the manufacturers
which made demands of a slight increase.
After a careful consideration they issued
an official uitimatum to the wage commit
tee that they had absolutely no correction
to make in the wage committees demands
and that they would stay out all year if
necessary to win. The workers in the
Plttsburg district will hold a similar meet
ing and issue their ultimatum.
The manufacturers have issued their Ill
tlmatum also and it is forcibly put by
President Hart, of the Indiana Association
of Manufacturers who says that all of the
manufacturers in the Nation, both in the
East ard West, will allow their plants to
rot before they accede to the workers de-
mands. The outlook is particularly gloomy
TO the gas belt, where the window glass
factories employ SO many men at good
wages.

DONGOLA on the Nile. Sept 24.--An in
spection of the Dervish defenses at this
place shows that they were constructed
with great skill that the positions were
well chosen and that if they had been held
by resolute men they would have caused
an immense amount of trouble and loss to
the Anglo-Egyptian expedition. About nine
hundred Dervish prisoners captured
in addition to a large quantity of arms of
all kinds, dates sufficient to support an
enormous lighting force for a long time,
great quantities of grain and large supplies
of sheep and cattle. The honors of the
fighting fell to the gunboats and the artil
lery whose shells reached the fleeing en-
envy far out in the desert. Deserters from
the Dervish forces continue to arrive here,
as they are all anxious to serve under the
Egyptian flag.
The work of perfecting the chain of de-
pots and forts connecting this place with
Wady Halfa is being pushed with the
greatest energy, and from here work on
the railroad embankment begins tomorrow
so as to join the line being pushed south
ward quickly as possible All the troops
are in excellent health and spirits. No
announcement has been made as to the
course of the expedition in the future ev-
erybody being busily occupied in the work
of settling down here, establishing advance
posts. clearing away the debris of the dis
mantled Notifications. preparatory to re-
constructing number of them larger
and more important scale, landing and
storing ammunition and supplies and con-
structing camps for possible stay of some
length here.
Among the prisoners taken a Dongola
is the son of the secretary of the late Gen.
Gordon and also enc of General Gordon's
clerks. They confirm previous accounts of
the fall of Khartoum and the death of Cor
don, which so long remained a mystery to
the civilized world.
The flag of Wad-Bishara, the commander
of the, Dervishes was captured together
with a mass of his correspondence and
counts. The total losses of the Egyptian
expedition in the taking of Dongola was
one officer and seven men wounded.

JOHNSON WINNING VOTES.
Citizens of Hancoc2S County Have No
Use for POpulist Robinson.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
GREENFIELD, Ind, Sept. N.-Repre-
sentative Henry u. Johnson, of this dis
trict, is making a splendid canvass of Han
cock county this week. He has made three
speeches to fine audiences at New Pales-
tine, Mount Comfort and Westland, and to-
night he spoke at Fortville. He makes
speech of about two hours. in which he
presents facts and arguments that carry
conviction. He makes one of the clearest
manifest and most forcible speeches ever
listened to in this county. The people here
feel that with Congressman johnson rep
resenting them ct Washington they have
man of national reputation whose recog-
nized ability enables him to secure the
transaction of business with the various
departments with thoroughness and dis
patch. He has already carefully looked
after much important business for hum
dreds of citizens of this county. Hancock
county citizens prefer a skillful and tried
Popuistic opponent, DIR. c. A. Robinson,
with his wild notions on financial and tariff
questions and his total inexperience as a
legislator or man of affairs.
Mr.. Johnson speaks at Warrington Fri
day afternoon, Greenfield Friday night and
Charlottesville Saturday afternoon, closing
his campaign in this county.

tive Henry L. Johnson was greeted with

as many as heard his opponent, c. A. Rob-

week ago. MIR. Johnson's speech was one
of convincing argument on sound money

very closest attention of the large audience
