HtLPS TO MAKE THE EVENING LlYELT
The Grand Army encampment was form
ally opened yesterday. General Veazey, of
Vermont, was elected Commander and
Detroit was selected for the next encamp
ment General Alger reports that the or
ganization is growing and prosperous. Be
unions were numerous, and it was a joyons
day for the veterans. A lively disenssion
of the pension question arose around the
camp-fire in the evening.
.EPXCIAI. TELZOBJLX TO TQK DI8FATCH.1
Boston, August 13. General "Weelock
G. "Veazey, of Vermont, is the new Commander-in-Chief
of the G. A. E. He was
elected to-day by a unanimous vote. Gov
ernor Hover, or Indiana, and Colonel
Emedberg, of California, were the only ones
whose names were mentioned in connection
with the office, and tbey were withdrawn
before the vote wa3 taken. Tire Commis
sioner Kichard A. Tobin, of Boston, was
chosen Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief,
and First Sergeant George B. Creamer, of
Baltimore, is the new Junior Vice Commander-in-Chief.
These votes were unani
mous. After electing those three officers,
and selecting Detroit as the headquarters of
the next encampment, the veterans ad
journed and plunged at once into a whirl of
sightseeing and goodfellowship.
MANY JOYOUS MEETINGS.
To-day has been a day of reunion and
comrades have had a royal good time to
gether. Many of them had not seen each
other lor years and the stories that they bad
to tell of experiences on the battlefield or in
camp or prison had improved with age.
Perhaps some of the yarns were stretched a
little, but it was not necessary to swap lies.
There was enough truth to make mighty in
teresting reading if it could be condensed to
fit the columns of any paper.
The veterans stood yesterday's long march
better than was anticipated, and but few j
were rep.rted "under the n gather" to-day.
AftoA-Emergency Hospital 26 comrades re
ceived medical treatment for exhaustion,
but only nine remained in the hospital to-
Sight
SEEING THE SIGHTS.
Everybody in the city is talking of the big
parade of yesterday. Opinion is universal
that its success was almost all that could be
wished. Passing on the principal thorough
fares is difficult on account of the crowds,
but every one is happy in the enjoyment of
the sights. The city is having a continuous
holiday, which will last through the week.
A walk along Washington street reveals
the financial benefit of the throng to the
storekeepers. Too shops are filled with
purchasers anxions to take to their distant
homes some reminder of their visit to the
Hub. The excursion parties are radiating
in all directions. The seashore resorts near
by, and the objects of interest about the city
invite the attention and add to the pleasure
of the visitors. The hotels and railroad
stations are throbbing centers of activity.
The weather is glorious and all are having a
grand old time.
THE GOVERNORS' DINNER.
The visiting Governors and their staff
officers were entertained by Governor Brack
ctt to-day at the Vendome. They were Gov
ernors Burleigh, of Maine; Dillingham, of
Vermont; Bulkley, of Connecticut,-and
Hovey, of Indiana. After luncheon bad
been served the party. numbering about 60,
was received bwMrs. John A. Logan.
The George H. Thomas Post, of Ft. Payne,
Ala., now quartered at Brookline. 'brought
with them from the South quite a menagerie,
consisting of four deer, a pair of
opossums, a pair of wolves, a pair
of red and a pair of silver gray
foxes, a large gray owl and an old
army mule. The Southern visitors were
late in arriving owing to an accident at
Cleveland to the baggage car containing the
menagerie, and on this acconnt could only
secure a position for the mule in the parade
yesterday. Ihe mule is the property of the
Ft Payne Post, and is an interesting army
relic It was wounded on the right hind leg
at the battle of Chickamango, and bears the
United States stamp on its left shoulder
and "I. C." on its right The latter initials
mean "inspected and condemned." The
quadruped is now 32 years of age, and is
highly prized by Alabama veterans.
EBOSI THE BATTLEFIELD.
The post also brought a bnndle of canes
picked from Lookout Mountain, and a table
made from a piece of an oak tree taken from
Lookout Mountain, containing 8 minje
balls, 4 grapeshot and 7 pieces of shell. The
table and canes were presented to C. L.
Chandler Post 145, of Brooklyn, which is
entertaining the Sonthern visitors.
The formal opening of the encampment
took place this morning at 11 o'clock at
Music HalL The great building was
crowded. After prayer by Past Chief Chap
lain Foster, General Alger delivered his
annual report, in part as follows:
Combades Fortunately for us we are per
niitted to gather here In this historic city,
justly named the "Cradle of Liberty." to eel
ebrate the twentyflfth anniversary of the sur

A TEIBUTE TO HABTEANFT.
General Alger then proceeded to discuss
the pension question and to explain the pro
visions ot the dependant pension bill. He
paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of
the late General Hartranft, of Pennsylva
nia, and concluded by referring to bis elec
tion as Commander in Chief oi the G. A. B.
as the greatest honor he ever received.
General Alger's address was heartily re
ceived and after it other reports were read.
Inspector General L. E. Griffith, of Troy,
K. Y., reported the order growing numer
ically stronger and working earnestly and
harmoniously in furthering the grand ob
jects for which it was organized. No organ
ization on earth does more to minister to the
helpless and unfortunate. He regretted
that not one-half the posts had been in
spected, whereas
A THOROUGH INSPECTION
each year is necessary to secure uniformity
of work and a compliance with ritual and
br-lans. He had been delayed and greatly
embarrassed by the negligence of depart
ment and assistant inspectors and suggested
that some means be devised to secure a more
thorough inspection of posts and a more
prompt return from departments.
He presented a table showing that the
number of posts in the Grand Army on
June 30, 1890, was 6,928; number of com
rades in good standing in posts inspected to
June 30, 351,211; number of posts inspected,

The report of th: Surgeon General, Horace
P. Porter, of Maine, recommends that in
spectors be required to examine post officers
as to their knowledge of department and
general matters pertaining to the organiza
tion, the care of the destitute and
needy comrades. The burden of free
medical attendance, free medicines
and free surgical appliance should be as
sumed by the Government that these poor
comrades helped to save. It isrecotnmended
that the medical officers of the late war
should form State and national organiza
tions, and should be admitted to lull priv
ileges in department encampments with the
end that physical disabilities of comrades
mav be intelligently discussed, and meas
ures devised for their relief.
The pension law, the report says, "should
harmonize with the natural history of all
disability contracted while the victim is in
tho service of the United States and in the
line of duty, and which is not the result of
his own vicious habits."
A HOME F OR THE DISABLED.
The early establishment of a commodious
branch of the national military home for,
disabled volunteer soldiers at some point
remote from probable epidemic intection on
either the Atlantic or Gulf coasts of the
peninsular portion of the State of Florida,
where disabled veterans may be removed
from climatic influences is earnestly sug
gested. At the afternoon session officers were
elected, the principal position going to the
Bast in pursuance, as is claimed by some,
of a plan to give the encampment to the
"West three successive" ypars Detroit in
1891, Topeka in 1892, and Chicago in 1893.
THE NEW C01I5IANDEE.
Colonel "Wheelock G. Veazey, one of the
Inter-State Commerce Commissioners, who
was to-day elected Commander in Chief of
the G. A. K., is a native of New Hamp
shire and has just passed his 50th
year. He was graduated Irom Dartmouth
College with honor and is one of the pres
ent Board of Trustees. He was also grad
uated from the Albany Law School,
and, taking up his residence at But
land, Vt, was admitted to the bar
of Vermont in 1860. Upon the break
ing out of the war he enlisted as a private,
and in 1862 became colonel of the Sixteenth
Vermont Begiment He served with great
distinction throughout the war, and won
credit for his brilliant fighting on many
fields.
Upon tho muster out of his regiment
Judge Veazey returned to the practice of
bis profession being associated in business
for a while with Mr. Proctor, now Secre
tary of War. He was for ten years-Judge
of the Supreme Court of Vermont and re
signed that when appointed an inter-State
commissioner. He has been active as s
member of the G. A. B.
JUSTICE FOR THE SOLDIER,
GENERAL BUTLER SAYS IT NEVER HAS
BEEN ACCORDED.
IIo Blalntnlns That the Volunteers Mode a
Bad Bnrgnla Mnjor McKinlej- Disputes
the Statement, nnd Butler Becomes
BInch Excited Their Arguments.
rtrlCIAL TELIOBAM TO Till DIsrATCB.1
Boston, August 13. The feature of the
after-dinner speaking was a lively tilt be
tween General Butler and Congressman
McKinley over the pension question. Gen
eral Butler was the first to start the ball.
He began by stating that the soldiers would
never, in bis opinion, receive what was
justly due them for their services. Con
tinuing, he said:
Boston and Massachusetts, try as well as
they can, and perhaps they paid their share of
the debt can never pay what the country owes
us. I hear that we are banded together.
1 am tired of hearing about the bounty of the
country to us. 1 will excuse the country from
giving the soldier a single dollar of bounty In
the shape ot pensions or otherwise if
they will only pay us what they
owe us. They tonic it out of our
pockets by a depreciated currency to put In the
pockets ot the bankers and capitalists. I have
nothing to say against the banker and capital
ist. Tnev made as good a bargain as tbey
could. That they had a right to do, and tbey
took care to enforce that bargain.
We, many of u, the private soldiers particu
larly, made a very bad bargain pecuniarily.
Tbey complain and say we are robbing the
Treasury. Not so, not so. All we ask of this
country Is to pay onr contract for our pay just
the same, and in the same manner, and with the
same interestjtbat they paid the banker, the
broker and capitalist, at home and abroad.
Pay your debt Pay your soldiers and dou' t go
back upon them. Pay what you honestly
agreed to.
Mr. McKinley was the next speaker, and
he at once took up the gauntlet which Gen
eral Bntler had shied into the arena. He
said:
I dislike very much to disagree with the dis
tinguished gentleman who has Just preceded
me, but I am forced to dissent from his state
ment when be said that tbe Grand Army
of tbe Reonblic, many of whom sat before
me here to-night, had been engaged In a bad
bargain. It Is not true no I more honorable
obligation was ever made: no fcoro worthy con
tract was ever entered into y human kind
than that contract you madfc in 1861 to save
your Mxg ,and preserve ffcls Union to
snanMnd AtoIc "Itof i thaVvlk," and gmt
applause and thore is not a man here, there Is
not a veteran throughout the length and
breadth of this nation who would give up his
relation to that great contract for tbe wealth
of Boston or tbe money ot tbe world.
It was a cood bargain, ior It saved to mankind
now and hereafter the freest Government upon
tbe face of God's earth. General Bntler can
not outdo me in desiring to tbe old soldiers of
this Republic the most generous offerings from
the nation's Treasury.
Congressman McKinley had not taken
his seat when General Bntler again sprang
to his feet and stepped to the edge of the
platform. The audience saw that the old
soldier was excited and looked for some fun.
This is what he said:
I came here, comrades, to speak a word for
anotner class of soldiers. I have heard great
praise from the gentleman who last addressed
you for the regular generals of the army. He
has forgotten that there was a volunteer
general anywbere. He has got his mind so
wrought up with West Point that he forgot
Garfield. A voice, "And ho forgot Butler,
too." Oh. that I am forgotten Is of noconse
quence. A voice, "Hurrah fcr Butler!" An
other voice, "And Jotin A Logan." Oh. yes,
John A Logan. Forgot himT And who is asking
to forget himT Who is asking to forget those
to remember tbe others. Tbe volunteer sol
diers before mer No. Regulararmymen not
enoogb td cover np a custard pot. How comes
it that all the big victories won by
the volunteers are forgottent No, not forgot
ten. A voice General Butler there ought
and other interruptions. Now don't interrupt
me. I know General Sherman freed
the slaves bocause he did not have
anything to do with it He fousht the
battles of his conntrv and Abraham Lincoln
freed tbe slave before Sherman got to the sea
or started for the sea, and I detract no laurel
from Sherman's brow. I would not do It for
my life. 1 don't claim anything. I
only claim one thing for myself, as a
general, and that Is that I had no large
butcher bills of soldiers left dead on the field
under my command to account for a voice
"New Orleans." Oh, nol Nobody was hurt
tli ere, but the other side and therefore I am a
small General. Wbat have 1 saidf Have I
asked yon to forget your contract? You made
no contract to save the Union; you made a con
tract to do our duty. The contract I was re
ferring to was a contract for the pay, and it
was a skilful dodge on the part ot the gentle
man who answered me to put it in that way.
He says he has been generous. I know herhas.
He has been liberal in his votes. I know he
has. That Is wbat I complain of. I don't want
any liberality for the soldiers, but I want
simple justice that we shall bo paid what
is owed us. 1 don't want to depend upon any
man's good nature. That is all I ask. I have
not accused Congress of anything, but not at
tempting to do justice, and I asked you simply
to remember your rights and they will come by
and by. My political drafts are always hon
ored years alter I draw them.

fBT SUNLAF'S CABLE COMTANT.1
Beblin, August 13. The death of Dr.
Stephenson, of Adrian, Mich., who was a
member of the Medical Congress at Berlin,
has created a profound sensation here, not
only in the American colony and in medical
circles, but among tbe general public by
reason of the peculiar circumstances which
attend it On the evening before bis death
he was in excellent health and snirits, and
met several of his medical colleagues, with
whom be played a game of poker. The next
day he was found dead in bis room. The
peculiar circumstances of bis death and the
rumor that he bad lost $30,000 in the game
of poker the night before aroused the sus
picion of the authorities, that he had com-,
mitted suicide by a dose of morphine. They
took possession of the body and ordered an
investigation.
A post mortem was he Id to-day and the
official verdict was that Dr. Stephenson had
died from heart failure, superinduced by
morphine. It was not thought that tbe
morphine was taken with suicidal intent.
The result of the post mortem does not,
however, allay the sensational rnmors that
are in circulation.
AGAINST THE SALVATIONISTS.
Beblin. Martha Nix is the name of an
unfortunate female servant here whom a too
zealous attendance upon the meetings of
the Salvation Army has rendered hopelessly
insane. Becoming thoroughly imbued
witn the story of Moses in the bulrushes,
she wandered to the rirer and placed on the
bank a child 3 months old, which had been
left in her care, Then she sat at a little
distance off, awaiting the advent of Pha
raoh's daughter. No, lady with her attend
ants came by on her way to the bath. A
policeman, however, loitered by, and now
the poor woman is confined in a strait-
jacket The authorities state that bnt for
the timely arrival of the policeman the
child would have starved to death. .This
incident, combined with others, has greatly
intensified tbe popular feeling against the
I Salvation Army; an strong efforts -ire bo-
ingmnde to-qriveibcse-pecuuar religionists
from the German capital.

ing all bis career, but even when these
were most opposed to those of the present
Emperor be had never been gnilty of in
triguing against his policy. Prince Bis

rection is not at all impossible, and that
before very long he may be seen in active
life again.

St. Petebsbubg A remarkably impor
tant indication of the disposition of the Czar
toward the maintenance of peace is furnished
by a ukase which has just been issued to the
effect that all the infantry and artillery re
cruited in 1885, 1886 and 1887 are to be
transferred to the reserves after the summer
maneuvers. This will, of course, make a
great reduction in the effective strength of
the Bussian army. Tbe measure remits a
year of active service in the contingent re
cruited in 1886 and two years from that of
1887. Moreover,from the beginning of next
year, the terms of service will be reduced
from five to four years for the whole of the
infantry and the foot artillery regiments.

By Associated Press.
London, August 13. In a speech at
Derby to-day Sir William Vernon Harcourt
attacked the House of Lords as a standing
obstruction to useful legislation. He said
that as a deliberative assembly the House
of Lords has almost ceased to exist It had
done nothing during the present session be
yond promoting a bill to preserve bares and
an extension of the game laws which were
already extensive enough. What great
Liberal measure had not during the present
century been delayed, thwarted and de
feated in the House of Lords? The country
ought to keep in mind tbe fact of the
antagonism between the reactionary Upper
House and the Liberal House of Commons.
That was the great politiral question of the
day.

fSPECIAL TILEOKAM TO THE StSrXTCR.1
Philadelphia, August 13. The past
21 hours has been a great day for the Demo
crats. The leading party men of the State
and the State candidates met, consulted,
mapped out work, attended receptions and
had a general jubilee. Chairman Kerr held
open house at the headquarters in South
Penn Square, and an air of confidence and
exhilaration pervaded the ChairmanV'whole
house."
Everybody was in a good humor, and if
there were any differences of opinions they
were not manifested openly. Pattison men
and Wallace men and Black men and
Fannce men mingled freely, and apparently
spoke without reserve. There were two im
portant meetings on hand, the first being
tbe gathering of the members of the Execu
tive and Finance Committees of the Demo
cratic Society of Pennsylvania, which is
composed of 47 clubs, with a membership
of 60,000.
LOOKING after the details.
Later in the day the Executive Commit
tee of the State Committee, together with
the three candidates, held a lengthy canens
and looked after many of the details of the
campaign. It was an early hour, 10 o'clock,
which brought the society committee to
gether, but about the first to greet Secretary
John D. Woman was President Channcey
F. Black.
Mr, Black is as breezy and hearty of man
ner as tbe typical Westerner, and had a
pleasant story for all of his lriends as they
arrived. It was quite evident that he is a
great favorite with the Democrats. Ex
Postmaster William F. Harrity, who is the
new comer in State politics, was also an
early caller, and he was followed by Bobert
E. Wright, of Allenlown, who came very
close to being the candidate for Lieutenant
Governor.
Ex-State Chairman William TJ. Hensel,
who piloted Pattison to victory eight years
ago, with his clear-cut features and smooth
face does not appear to grow a day older as
time goes on.
ECHOLS VEBY CONFIDENT.
With him was John W. Echols, of Pitts
burg, who says that Allegheny county can
be placed for a certainty in tbe Democratic
column this year, and John Huggard,
President of the young Democratic bat
tilion. Tbe other members of tbe two com
mittees present were Adolph Elcholz, John
.a., .cow anu -CiUjjcuo xownseuo, oi .ruua
delphla; E. H. Baucb, of Maucn Chunk; J.
Irvin Steel, of Asbland; Henrv D. Greer,
of Beading; George If. Beynolds, of Lan
caster; Wilson F. Shepherd, of Pottsville;
E. B. Houston, of Mechanicsburg; A. Y.
Dively, of Altoona; D. J. Boyle, of Pitts
burg, and A. H. Ladner, of Philadelphia.
Ex-Governor Pattison and Captain Bar
clay, candidate for Secretary of Internal
Affairs, called on the committees and after
an informal reception they both made
short speeches. The committees then got
down to business and for an honr verbal re
ports were heard from the different sections
of tbe State. Tbe Finance Committee an
nounced that the treasury of the society is
in a healthy condition, and that numerons
contributions are being daily received, in
cluding many irom independents and dis
gruntled Bepublicans. After routine busi
ness had been gone through with the Execu
tive Committee decided! that the general
assembly of the society of Pennsylvania
shall be held at Beading on Tuesday and
Wednesday, September 16 and 17.
ANY NH3UBEB OF VI3ITOB3.
When the society folks had adjourned
there was nothing in order nntil the meet
ing of the Executive Committee of the State
Committee, but tbe Democrats kept coming
and going. Among them were J. S. Hess,
of Northampton; J. E. Lesber, of Snvder;
C. H. Akers, of New Castle; L. M. Plum
mer, of Pittsburg; Geo. Boss, of Bucks;
Benjamin M. Nead, of Harrisbnrg; J. F.
Snyder, of Clearfield, who says there are no
Bepublicans up bis way; B. Jones Mon
aghan. of Westchester; J. Marshall Wright,
of Alientown; City Chairman Chas. P.
Donnelly, John E. Fannce, William J.
Brennen, of Pittsburg; Editor William M.
Singerly, Edwfn A. Bigler, of Clearfield;
W. B. Given, of Columbia; Dr. Hyatt, of
Juniata, and ex-Auditor General Justus F.
Temple, of Greene.
Candidates Pattison, Black and Barclay
met tbe committee and the session lasted for
several honrs, prominent party men being
called In from time to time. Among other
things it was agreed to hold a big mass
meeting at Beading during tbe visit of the
Democratic Society, which will be the
formal opening of the oampaign. The can
didates will all be there to speak, and from
that time on there wiu oe nottung bnt bard
and aggressive work.
THE LETTEBS OF ACCEPTANCE.
When the meeting was over Chairman
Kerr stated that some time before the 20th
of this month the letters of acceptance of the
candidates would be made public, and that
tbey would very clearly define the issnes of
this campaign. As to the meeting he added
that the ground had been carefully gone
over and many details considered and
passed upon.
The Chairman said that the canvass wonld
be an aggressive one and conducted in a
dignified manner. He had no predictions
to make from the reports received, but was
satisfied with the situation as it stands to
day. The Crescent Democratic Club, of West
Philadelphia, this evening raised a banner
and gave a reception: to tne party's candi
dates at their clubroomj. Er-Goyernor
Pattison was expected to be present, bnt at
the last moment he was obliged to send his
regrets at being kept away by a very press
ing engagement.
Channcey F. Black, the candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, and William H.
Barclay, the nominee for Secretary of In
ternal Affairs, were present.

A large portion of the platform was devo
ted to a denunciation of the Federal election
bill, the resolution on this question being as
follows:
We condemn in the strongest terms the Fed
eral election bill passed by tbe House and now
pending in tbe Senate as an Iniquitous contriv
ance of partisan legislation. It is unpatriotic
in principle, unconstitutional in aetau ana
malicious in purpose. It baa more malignity in
its conception than any similar measure tbat
marked the political hatred of the war and re
construction period. It entails an exnene at
each election of from 810,000,000 to $12,000,000
from the Federal Treasury in order to enable
tbe President and his appointees to use well
paid, and perhaps corrupt, men and throuih
tbem troops to control elections, and thus take
from tbe people and confer npon tbe Republi
can party through its own partisan canvassing
board the power to make returns ot Federal
elections. It is the most dangerons assault
upon tbe principle of home rule which
has emanated from any party, and will
create more hostility and bad blood
in tho Kouth than bas existed
there since tbe close of the Civil War. and.
mav. if passed, make tbe Southern States,
where it is intended to be put in operation, as
helpless as Ireland and as devoid ot liberty as
Poland. It will disturb the peace, progress,
happiness and confidence which now exist
and have carried to tbe South for investment
the vast Northern capital just beginning to
reap tbe frnit of its venture, and will bo
especially hurtful to the development of tho
vast mineral wealth and other enterprises of
this State.
A separate resolution indorses the Demo
cratic position in the late Gubernatorial
contest, and commends tbe Democratic
majority in the Legislature for seating
Fleming and declaring Goff not legally
elected.

8aceamento, August 13". The Bepub
lican Convention this morning adopted the
report of the Committee on Organization
making the temporary officers permanent.
The platform was read and adopted.
It declares that for 30 years the Bepnb
lican party has successfully condncted the
business of the nation, performing deeds of
statesmanship and military achievement
worthy to live forever upon the brightest
pages of history. It denounces the manner
in which the Democratic pledge as to a free
ballot in many of the States was broken, and
insists that henceforth the rigbt .to a free
ballot shall be observed so far as it is witbin
the power of the Federal Government to
effect tbat object. It also reaffirms the
principles announced in the Bepnblican
national platform of 1888.
After the adoption of a platform tbe con
vention proceeded- to nominate a candidate
ior Governor. Judge Fitzgerald, of Los
Angeles, nominated Colonel Henry H. Mark
ham, of Pasadena; Judge Walling, of
Nevada City, nominated Congressman Will
iam M. Morrow, of San Francisco; A. L.

General N. P. Chipman, of Bed Bluff, and
Chairman Campbell that of L. W. Shippe,
of San Joaquin. Frank Combs, of Napa,
and E. F. Preston, of San Francisco, were
placed in nomination. Markham was nom

Fbanklin, August 13. The Senatorial
conference of Venango and Warren connties
will be held in Oil City to-morrow to nomi

Venango nominee, Hon. W. B. Crawford,
will be represented by Hon. George S. Cris

It is not easy to forecast the result of tbe con

will insist on renommation, basing his
claim on the precedent set by Venango in
the case of 8enator Lee, who claimed and
was conceded two terms in succession.
The friends of Sheriff Crawford will urge
that gentleman's fitness, and will claim
moreover tbat he can make the best run.
There is a chance for a brisk rivalry be

does not apparently contain the elements of
a deadlock.

MASTER WORKMAN POWDEELTS YlfiWS
Some life was infused into the New York
Central strike yesterday by statements that
tbe Delaware and Hudson bad been tied up
and all firemen ordered out. The last as
sertion proved incorrect, as only a few fire
men quit work. One local assembly of the
Knights of Labor surrendered its charter,
and the members have applied tor their old
positions.
rSriCIAI, TELIGE1M TO TBS DISPATCH.
Albany, August 13. A local flurry was
occasioned here at noon to-day by the call
ing out of the Delaware and Hudson freight
handlers, yardmen and switchmen by the
Ezeentive Board of D. A. 216. It was
purely aKnights of LaborafTair, and as none
of the passenger train men was involved,
that part of the Delaware and Hudson ser
vice remained unimpaired.
TJp to 6 r. ir. only the Albany yards had
been affected, though the officers of D. A.
216 declare that tbe strike will speedily be
extended to Green Island and Troy, and if
necessary to Montreal and Binzhamton.
The reason for the Delaware and Hudson
affair is given by Treasurer Price, of D. A.
216, as follows: "Mr. Hammond promised
us that the Delaware and Hudson would not
interfere. He said that the Central bad got
itself into a box and might get ont as best it
could. Because of that promise we re
frained from tying tbem up two days ago, as
we easily might have done. During those
two days they have been running
7BEIOHI FOB TBE CENTEAIt
down from Troy and from Albany over their
road to Voorbeesville, on the West Shore
road. More than that, they have been load
ing live stock driven from West Albany to
their yards at foot of Green street, and send
ing cattle cars out from there to Voorbees
ville. Yesterday and last night they were
notified to quit, bnt they kept their men at
work handling Central freight until mid
night. I think they were notified thl-i
morning again. --They are now tied uptaaM,
we have nearly all their men out, that is,
all the men who come in contact with the
Central freight orare liable to."
Late this afternoon Superintendent Ham
mond asked for a conference with the
Knights, and it is expected that a settle
ment will be reached to-morrow. Beyond
the shipment of "hurry through" freight
from tbe Central yards over tbe Delaware
and Hudson lines the new strike will have
little effect on tbe Central Hndson; for that
road has begun running freight trains from
tbe East and West Albany yards, and bas
started the work of clearing up the upper
railroad bridge.
TBEIGHT TRAINS MOVING.
Several freight trains passed through the
Union depot yard over the passenger tracks
to-day. One train came in from De Witt
and was sent on soutb, while two were sent
west from East Albany through the West
Albany yard without being in any way
retarded or molested. Tbe calling out of
the Delaware and Hudson men was evi
dently done to enconrage the faint hearted
among the strikers and to give a local
demonstration of the power ot D. A. 246.
Said one discouraged striker: "I do not
see how we can win unless the locomotive
engineers join us and there seems to be
little to hope for in that line."
The leaders still put on a bold front and
assert that the firemen will be ont with them
in a day or so, and that the engineers may
stay if they like.
A special telegram from New York says:
Tbe first open surrender on the part of tbe
New York Central strikers took place late
this afternoon when the members of locaL '
assembly 1705, K. of L., voted almost unan
imously to disband, and the members
placed themselves at the disposal of the
railroad officers with a prayer of reinstate
ment. This action, with the facta that
the Execntive Board in session at De
troit thus far ignores tbe strike, and that
tbe freight blockade at Albany has teen
raised, comprises the news in New York;
Central situation. r
BLUE DAT POB STBIKEE3.
It was a bine day for the K. of L. After
whistling to keep their courage up in the
face of fast accumulat ing evidence of defeat,
some false reports ot the spread of the strike
were put in circulation. It was stated verv
positively that the members of the Brother
hood of Firemen had been ordered ont by
the executive officers of the organization.
bnt the story was entirely withont founda
tion. Beports of the spread of the strike to otheg
roads had no more facts to back them than
that a handful of men in the Delaware and
Hndson yards at Albany bad left work be
cause the Central cars and freight
were being handled. About & o'clock
in tbe afternoon General Superintendent
Voorhees received a dispatch from Super
intendent Wooster, of the Harlem division,
saying that some of the strikers who were
Knights of Labor were very anxious to be
taken back. They were ready to resiim
from the Knights or even to surrender the
charter of the local assembly of which they
were members in order to secure re-employment.
Tbey said they would do this after
fiving 12 hours' notice to Master Workman,
iee.
The officers of the road refused to makej
negotiations with them on any such basis.
Local Assembly 1705 comprised all the
Knights employed upon the Harlem divi
sion and the headquarters were at Dover
Plains. The Knights were stronger upon
this division than at any other point on tbt
road, passenger trainmen being nearly all
included in the membership.
SURRENDERED XHE CHABTEB.
About 6 o'clock all members of the
ass'embly notified Superintendent Wooster.
at Dover Plains, that tbey had surrendered
their charter without notice, and that they
were ready for such disposition as the com
pany might see fit to make of them, Thsy
also submitted to Mr. Wooster this dispatch,
which their Master Workman had seat
to Lee:
