Illinois Central is Held Up
 and Robbed
ONE PASSENGER IS INJURED.
Hlshwaymen Enter Pullman, Relieves Passengers of vaIuables, Pull the
 Emergency Bell Rope, Jump /
 From Train and Escape. J

Chicago, August 1.-Robbers tonight held up an Illinois Central passenger train between Flossmore and Matteson, about 25 miles from Chicago. Several of the passengers were robbed, and 1t is said that one person who resisted was seri- ously wounded by the robbers.
 The bandits. of whom there were five. had revolvers. and three of them were masked.
 The train left Chicago at 9:27 o'clock. and consisted of two baggage and mail cars, three day coaches and two Pullman sleeping cars. At Harvey. or somewhere between there and Matteson, the bandits boarded the train.
 One of the men, believed to be the leader, stood guard between the last day coach and the forward Pullman. Ills masked companions entered the rear sleeper, where the passengers also were aroused. Here they were searched for valuables and it was here that one man who resisted was struck on the head with an axe and severely injured.
 After obtaining the passengers money and valuables, the bandits locked their victims in the cars. One of the rob bers then pulled the emergency bell rope and the train. which was a special excur- sion train bound for St. Louis, was stopped. When the speed had been slack ened sufficiently. the robbers leaped off and went west In the darkness. The en- gineer was not aware that his train had been robbed until he went back to learn why he had been signaled to stop.

 President Nord made threatening ref erence to what happened in Hayu in 1894"
 The rate of exchange Is 600 per cent
 In January 1894, after the power of the French ceased in the Island of Haytl, the independence of the island was proclaim ed, and Jean Jacques Dessalines was named governor general for life with full legislative powers and the right of ap- pointing his successor. Dessalines was a. negro and had at one time been slave. Tn March of 1894 he proclaimed the mas sacre of all the whites, calling upon his people to render war for war, crime for crime. and outrage for outrage to the European cannibals. who have so long preyed upon our race"
 As result of this proclamation there was a general massacre of nearly the whole of the whites. including aged mena women and children, numbering at the lowest estimate 2500. The negroes then declared Dessalines emperor, and in the following October he was crowned at Port au Prince with the title of Jean Jac- ,les L In October, 1894.

Immiorants for South.

Frank Sargent, commissioner of fmmi- grafton, was asked today about alleged critical scarcity of labor in the south, and the danger to the cotton planters of hav- ing their cotton crops go without pick ing beyond the time when they ought to be handled. His attention was called to a story that the bureau of immigration will attempt to send a number of Italian immigrants to Mississippi and other points to aid in picking cotton.
 He said that he had not been spoken to in regard to divsrting Italian immigra- ton to the south. but that a steamship line was to be established between New Orleans and Italy. beginning in Septem- Der and he supposed 1t would furnish a good deal of Italian immigration to the south He had held conference this morning, he said. with a man who is ar- ranging to send colonies of Italians into Texas to take up farming lands there. This man spent many years in Europe and declared that the Italian was good agriculturist.
 'The south Is seeking good immigrants and wants the best that can come to the country" Mir. Sargent said, land in a few years will get a great many new peo- ple."

Big Break In the Ranks.

Kansas City, August 1.-Today's devel- opments in the packing house strike were serious from the standpoint of the strik- CTS as hundreds of their number returned to work, many of them being skilled workmen. The serious break in the ranks of the strikers today was caused by their growing tired of waiting for strike bene- fit money promised from Chicago, and because they could not afford to remain idle longer without pay.
 Few of the men who applied for work today were refused their old places, and those who were not taken back were as- sured that they will be re-employed when 1t becomes necessary for the pack CTS to increase their forces. A large num- Der of negroes are employed at all the plants.

800 Carloads of Meat Shipped
 During the Day
MANY BREAKS IN THE RANKS
Packers Estimate That at Least 2ooo Union Men Have Returned to Work From the Ranks
 of the Strikers.

Chicago August t.-With increased forces of skilled workers. and their op. eratng departments more thoroughly equipped than at any time since tho be- ginning of the strike, the employers took a firm grip on their affairs and as a re- suit the stoekyards took on the old hum of activity.
 Over 7S0o0 head of live stock was re- ceived here today. This is an increase of 59,000 head over the receipts on the cores bonding day last week. Such an enor- nous amount of live stock would, under normal conditions. have had depressing effect on the market, and today when the train loads of animals began to pour iniu the yards stockmen and traders feared a panic. but it did not occur. Prices were lowered sharply, but the fact that the market held as well as 1t did seemed to prove that the packers are prepared to increase their output

 The big packers bought 5000 cattle, fs.ooo hogs and 10000 sheep during the day. and before nightfall So per cent of their pur- ehases had been slaughtered. Further proof of the claims of the packers that the difficulties of the strike are being overcome was furnished by the shipment of oOO carloads of fresh meats from the stoclSyards. Of this number 400 cars vera loaded and shipped by the firms affected by the strike
 These shipments were consigned to aH parts of the world. eighty car loads be- ing billed to Boston for export. As near as could be estimated tonight. s59 union men of the various trades on strIl<e returned to work during the day. Of this number which abandoned the fight. many were skilled worlSmen. The pack CTS claim today's assertions make tne total number of strikers who have re turned to work at least 20OO.
 Chief of Police O'Neil, who has taken personal charge of the stoclSyards during the trouble, declared tonight that his be- lief was that peace is in sight. and that by Thursday great changes will be seen tending toward peaceful end.
