The Chicago Operator Calls Labor Leaders
Hard Names-Wants Them Sent to the
Penitentiary.
Chicago. August 29.-"The promo
tors of the St. Louis labor convention,
to be held next Monday, will try to
use the miners struggle as a pretext
for the Inauguration of general strike
in every trade and industry through
out the land" Col. w. P. Rend, the
well-known mine owner, made this
statement tonight. He continued:
An attempt will be made to create
a repetition Of the Pullman strike on
a far more extended scale Appeals in
lurid language will go forth TO the
American worldngmen telling them
that they are being enslaved by cap
italistic and judicial tyranny. They
will raise the cry that labor must unite
in a general sympathetic strike that
will stop the mines, the mills and fac
tories, and the wheels of every in
dustry.
A triumvirate of agitators has been
formed to formulate this purpose and
execute this conspiracy. The work
ingmen of the country should be
warned in advance of this dangerous
plot. Who are its projectors? Who
are these great champions of labor's
cause? One is an extreme Socialist;
another is an industrial fre-brand and
the remaining member Of this trio Of
tradition is a Judas and traitor to
the cause of labor.
"Debs, Sovereign and Ratchford
have united together in this evil de-
sign. Such a general strike as con-
templated by them would be a colossal
crime against the entire country. But
the workingmen of America will not
heed the evil counsels nor follow the
fatal leadership Of these three conspi-
ratOrs.
ne courts 40 not 30 IdI eHOuSH'
They should send to the penitentiary
the conspirators that rob men of the
right to use what is their own by laws
of civilized authority and the laws of
Almighty God. Things have come to
a pretty pass in America when a CO.
terie of such men declare an industrial
wars at their will and pleasure. 1t is
time for the American people to wake
I'D to a realization OF these grave
perils that confront them

PRICES OF HOGS ADvA oING.
Increased Demand for Meats Causing a
Noticeable Boom

Kansas City. No, August 29.-There
is a boom under way in the local hog
market; yesterdays prices were the
highest reached within nearly two
years. going up 10 to Is cents hun
dred-weight. on top Of similar ad-
vance Friday.
Prices have advanced 40 cents since
last Friday, 20 cents since August l,
nearly dollar higher than in the mid
die of July. Receipts are also equal
10 those a year ago and they have been
much larger than last year, all sum-
mer, up TO the present time.
The advance in prices is due to in
creased demand for meas rather than
to a scarcity Of hogs.

Sistersville, W. Va, August 90 -
Since the Ohio River Railroad inau
guTated fast service on their road the
increase in business has been remark
able. The idea eminated from the new
superintendent, Mr. J. H. Hamilton.
His executive ability is large and he
does not cling to the old fogy ways OF
doing business. Heretofore there have
been only local trains stopping at road
crossings. and this fact has caused
tourists to take some other route when
they would rather have gone over the
Ohio River Railroad owing TO the fine
scenery. The road follows the beauu-
full Ohio from Wheeling TO Kenova,
and only in few places does the river
get out of range of the eye.
1t is now reported that two more
fast trains will be put on with the
fall schedule, soon due, that will run
during the night. One will leave Ke-
nova about = O'Clock in the morning,
making connection with the Chesa
peake & Ohio from Cincinnati and
Louisville. and arriving az Wheeling
about o'clock, making direct cCnnec-
tiOn with Pittsburg and other eastern
points. The other will leave Wheel
ing in the evening about O'Clock
making KenOva to connect with the
Cincinnati ard Louisville express at
1:30 a. m. Sleeping cars are to be put
on these trains. which, with an e'e-
CANT parlOr car, ladies coach. smoker
and mail and baggage cars, will make
a pretty train. Ii is understood that
the officers are at work on the time
card, and that the Pullman company is
now constructing four new cars for this
traffic
Many have remarked about the road
bed to its detriment, but this IS also
being put on a solid basis by Mr.. c. +.
Bryan. chief engineer. by the use Of
new ballast, rails. etc. Many trestles
have been filed and more are now be-
ing filled with Stag, making them solid.

Question Comes First Be in Order.
Question Comes First.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Gen. Fos-
ter and Sir Julian Pauncefote conferred
today as to the arrangements for the
meeting of British, Canadian and
American representatives relative to
Bering sea. A general understanding
was reached that the arrival of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian pre-
mier, and party, would permit the
meeting to open on Thursday, as to-
morrow is likely to be given to an
exchange of views between the Ca
nadians and British. The British am
bassador will accompany the premier
to the White house tomorrow morn
Ing and introduce him to the president.
This will be a call of courtesy, how
ever, and it is not expected that any
of the pending questions will be re-
ferred to. The British embassy has
extended an invitation to Sir Wilfrid
to be a guest during his stay here. but
he has determined to remain with the
other Canadian representatives at the
Shoreham, where quarters have been
engaged. 1t is now definitely settled
that the coming meeting will take a
much broader scope than was first an
ticipated. At the outset there will be
a comparison of notes between the
seal experts, Mr.. Hamlin for the United
States; Prof Thompson, for Great Bri-
tain, and Prof Macoun for Canada.
The Canadian premier and Sir Louis
Davies, Sir Julian Pauncefote and
Gen. Foster will be present in an Of
fetal capacity, ready to take up the
larger phases of the question, when
the seal experts have concluded their
exchange of technical information. 1t
is said the relations existing between
Great Britain and Canada make it es-
sential that all questions of an impe-
rial character should be concluded by
the direct representatives of the impe-
rial government At the same time,
the presence of the Canadian premier
is expected to assist in reaching
speedy conclusions, without the usual
delays Of acting through the British
foreign office. The formal execution
of these conclusions would devolve
entirely on the imperial authorities In
London and their representative here,
the British ambassador. 1t was said
at the state department today that
the first object would be to reach a
settlement on the Bering sea question,
and, with that out of the way, there
would be every disposition to fayora-
