DISSATISFACTION IN THE G. 0. P. Assuming Serious Dimensions in Many Sections of the State. THE KICKERS PREPARING POR WORK Accord i np to the statement of an Inde pendent Republican Mr. Delamater, if de feated, will be a yictim of bis friend. The .revolt among Pennsylvania Republicans is not aimed so much at tbe party candidate Jor Governor as at the junior Senator. The names of a number of prominent Repub licans throughout the who State are report; ed to be disaffected. rerEClALTELEOKAX TO TOT DISPATCH.! Philadelphia, August 24. Said one of the Republican party leaders to a friend in this city one day last week: "Wo feared & revolt against Delamater at the time ot the nomination. It has not materialized yet, however, and Ido noYbelieve it will at this late date." ' A prominent Independent Republican, whose name is known all over the State, and who will take an active part in the coming campaig n, said to-day: "It is very easy to explain why the revolt has not mani fested itself in an organized form. The leading Republicans who will engage In it have been taking their summer vacation, snd have not thought it worth while to lose a month from their nsnal recreation in order to spend, three months in a campaign, the work of which can be done just as effectively in half that time. Wbile they have waited the dissatis'action has been growing QUAY MAKING ENEMIES. "It is doubtful if they could have done more to increase and intensify this spirit of rebellion against Quay and his ticket if they had declared themselves the morning alter Delamater's nomination than has been done by events which have transpired since that time. Quay not only forced the nomination of Delamater against the protest of thou sands of the best Republicans of the State, hut he has since antagonized his party in both Senate and House at Washington. "Instead of making friends ne has made everybody mad. From President Harrison down to the Republican members of Con-1 press and the leading Republicans of the State there is a general desire to get rid of Quay and all he stands for, and there is a general concensus of opinion that the easiest way to do it is to beat Quay's candi date for Governor. The bitter feeling which at first was most pronounced in Alle gheny county, and the oil regions now ex lends to every section of the State. WILI. VOTE FOB PATTISON. "A resident of the city, who is well versed in State politics, recently made a trip through the northwestern section of the State, visiting Warren, Venango, Crawford and McKean counties, and meeting many of the leading Republicans of that section. To name the well-known Republicans with whom he talked and who openly declare their intention to vote for Pattison would fill a column. "Beginning with Delamater's county Crawford he visited Titnsville, where he found nearly every prominent oil man not identified with the Standard outspoken for Pattison. The list included such well known men as S. P. Boyer, ex-Representative B. H. Bates, H. B. Porter, George L. Benton, F. W. Trnesdell, of the Sunday World, W. W. Thompson and scores of others, equally prominent and well known. Just across in Venango, E. E. Clapp, the Republican leader of President township, and others, equally well known, were pro nounced in their declarations against Dela mater. In Warren county the dissatisfied Republicans, led by Burgess A. D. Wood L. T. Sarchus, W. W. Schurr and others, are numbered by tbe hundreds. DISAFFECTION IN M'KEAN. "In McKean the disaffection is wide spread. Emery's position is already well Known. Ex-Congressman W. W. Brown said he was in the oil business and proposed to stick to it until after election when asked about politics. Ex-Representative Foster, Major A. C. Hawkins, W. W. Chapman and, in fact, nearly every leading oil oper- ' ator conversed with who was not in tbe em ploy of the Standard, declared his intention to vote for Pattison. The gentleman came away satisfied that with or without organi zation on the part of the anti-Delaniater Re- ' publicans, Pattisou will surely carry all the Republican oil counties except, possibly, Washington. "In other portions of tbe State the Dela mater outlook is equally bad. Sam Losch's kick in Schuylkill, backed as it is by the Pottsville Republican, means the loss of 1,000 or 1,500 votes to the Republican State ticket. In Lebanon tbe situation is nearly as bad. The bitter Congressional contest between the adherents of Wonner and Ripe, taken in connection with Senator Gobin's well-known coolness toward the head of the State ticket, will make hard sledding for Quay and his candidate in this Republican stronghold. I THE QUAKER VOTE. f "There are alsojhuudreds of Republicans in Dauphin county who have quietly an nounced their Intention to vote tor Pattison. ''In Chester the situation is still worse for Delamater. The Quaker farmers are not a demonstrative set, and they are not making any noise about it, bnt those best posted in the intricacies of Chester politics sav that 2,500 Republican votes will be cast for Pat tison. This disaffection among the Quaker farmers extends to Montgomery and Bucks in neither ol which can Delamater hope for ;, majority? j"In Allegheny this disaffection is known to be very great The visit of Editor Reed and William Flinn to this city last week has been used for all it was worth to create the impression that the trouble was in pro- ox seating, out it is not. u. i, Jiagee, Congressmen Dalzell and State Senator Bu tan are all mad, and will continue to be, no matter what may be done. With all the Republican newspapers ot Pittsburg, possi bly, or openly, for Pattison, except the Com merciaUOaxettei in addition to the disaffec tion of thefebove-named leaders, Delamater must be possessed of a very hopeful tem perament if he expects any considerable majority in the State of Allegheny. "WILL STICK TO THE MAJOB. "In the Twenty-fifth Congressional district the friends of Major McDowell in Lawrence and Mercer counties declare they will stand by the Maior and vote against Delamater. This means the loss of both Mercer and Lawrence, while the Butler oil men will cany that county for Pattison, leaving Beaver alone to 'be carried for the State ticket with a reduced majority. A list of 500 Huntingdon county Republicans who will vote for Petti win is in existence. Scores of Republicans in Center and Clinfon counties are outspoken for Pattison, while the miners of Clearfield and Jefferson coun ties are said to be for him almost toa man. "To offset this widespead disaffection Chair man Andrews hopes to maintain the usual party majorities in Lancaster, Philadelphia and the strong Republican counties of the northern tier. In this he will be disap pointed so far as Philadelphia is concerned, at least While a few of the old-time In dependents, including Garrett, MeKee, McCreary t and Field, have' been in duced to declare 'for Delamater, the great majority of the reform leaders and voters will vote for Pattison. MANY SEW BECBUITS. "To these will be added a long list of busi ness men who have never been identified before with independent movements men who have voted the Republican1 ticket through thick and -thin. For every re former in this city who has put on the Quay collar 'ten old-time Stalwart Republicans are preparing to put it off, in cluding more than one of tbe old-time leaders. With this condition ot things ex isting in every part of the State, tbe knowl edge of which is now in the possession of the independent leaders,. it will not be long until tbe independent movement on behalf of Pattison will assume tangible form. "A preliminary organization has 'been effected, and headquarters will be opened in this city within a few days. A conference is expected to take place soon, the time of which is not made public, at which the details and policy of this campaign will be determined. That it will be vigorous, and that it will enlist the active and outspoken support of thousands of Republicans and the secret sympathy and vest pocket votes of a good many more thousands, -is as certain as any event in the future can be." SPLIT IN THE PARTY. SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS DIVIDED INTO TWO SECTIONS, The AnU-Tillmaaltes Talk ol Nominating- a State Ticket and Asking the Colored Voters to Help Them Elect It Two State Committee!. rSFSCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH, j Columbia, S. C, August 24. On Tues day next a convention composed of from 400 to 500 of tbe leading men of the State will assemble in. this city, This body will, to all probability, decide whether the white peo ple of the State, who for the past 25 year have presented an unbrok en front will divide and begin to fight among themselves and invite their heretofore common political enemy, the colored man, to take a hand. The con vention will become possessed ol the strong est anti-Tillmauites irom every section ot the State. They will assemble under the call of an Executive Committee elected by the anti-Tillman Convention held here six weeks ago. This body ordered tbe com mittee to call another convention in case the State convention failed to grant a pri mary. It is doubtful what the assemblage will do. One of the delegates said to-night that they -would nominate a straight-out Demo cratic ticket and put their men in the field against the Tillman ticket This action will be strongly opposed by many members who are in favor otan ont-and-out fight, but wish to make it only after the regular nominating conven tion on September 10 has taken action. It is probable that the later sentiment will control the body. At present there are two State Democratic Execu tive Committees. One is the old committee deposed by the recent Tillman convention. They insist that the conven tion had no power to unseal them. The other is the new committee elected by the Tillman convention. Both chairmen claim to represent tbe only committee, and both declare their intention of calling the Sep tember convention to order. A REPUBLICAN TEAS.

Within four hours from 9 o'clock last night to 1 o'clock this morning 'there were in Cincinnati and its immediate outskirts three murders and two murderous assaults, one at least of which will terminate the victim's life and make the assailant a murderer. At 9 o'clock in the western part of tbe city in Van Horn alley, near Cutter street, Bob Barley had his throat cut from ear to- ear by Charles White.

A STAGE BOBBER CAUGHT After Having- Lived In an Odor of Respecta bility for Several Year, rgPECTAI. TELEOBAX TO THE DISPATCH.! Butte, Mont., August 24. In the lat ter part of November 1884, the Butte and Helena stage coach was held up in a canyon between Boulder and Jefferson City by eight masked men, and to-day the first and only arrest of the highwaymen was made by United States Marshal Foray, in tbe per son of Charles Waraeld, who is a well known citizen, and who has lived in and about Butte since tbe robbery and for a long time previons. 'The hold-up created great excitement atjtfae time. The passengers on the stage were Jndge S. S. Wade, Massena -Ballard, Thomas H. "Carter, Colonel Johnson, W. E. Cullen and Warren Toole. The distinguished gentle men were compelled to walk up the hill with their hands held high in the air. The hold up was not for booty, but to release Con Murphy and several of his gang, who were supposed to be on the stage in custody and on their way to Boulder for trial. Murphy was afterward lynched in Helena. W. C. Cameron, at t"hat time Sheriff of Meagher countv, antici pating trouble, bad come upon the scene about'five minutes after the stoppage of the stage. He was unexpectedly conironted by eight men lying in ambush and requested to hold up his hands. This be refused to do, whereupon they opened fire and shot him through the abdomen, inflicting severe wounds, but Cameron recovered and is now living in Butte. When, arrested Warfield made no resist ance. He is a native of St Joseph, Mo., about 45 j-ears ot age, has' a ' wire and one child, and is well connected.

Ensign RE, Hayden, of the- Hydrographic Office, has just returned from Europe, having spent 11 days in Hamburg and Bremen. His mission was to confer with German and Netherland weather people, who are further advanced in meteorological work than any other con tinental observers. His reception by the Di rectors of the Deutsche Stewart, an institu tion at Hamburg, was very flattering. He brought back a great many publications of that office in exchange for American reports and documents, which appear to be appre ciated abroad. The Hamburg institution has a reputation among weather experts, but, like other European meteorological bureaus, its labors are more of a theoretical and " cursory scien tific character than tbe work of our own weather service. haven't got thb push. Toe American enterprise of publishing reports to date has not penetrated the for eign weather offices where the practical work of this countrj seems to be acknowl edged. Ensign Hayden made arrangements with the German and Netherland institutions for co-operation in the work of North and South Atlantic observation. Both pf these foreign services possess means of informa tion not yet accorded the United States Hydrographic Office, whose volunteer re ports necessarily come irregularly. It has long been the desire of the Naval Service to have a monthly tiled chart ot the South Atlantic and west coast of South America, and the observations during the Pensacola's eclipse expedition proved that the plan was feasible. The foreign offices have information requisite for snch a chart, but their delays in tbe publication renders it only of value as a matter of record. This information, in conjunction with such data as the United States hydrographic office can furnish, will be of obvious importance to the great South American and Indian com merce. BEVrVXNQ A CONGBESS. Another result of Ensign Hayden's visit is likely to be the reconvening of the Inter national Meteorological Congress, which has not been in session for several years. The agitation -has already begun abroad (uA expressions have been received irom nearly, all European Governments of the necessity of some unity of action. Convenient funds will probably come from: the Trans-Atlantic steamship lines, all of which arc desirous to perfeot a system of international meteo rology, , The director of, the Dentsche Stewart has urged tbe Congress Committee to name Washington as the place of the next meet ing. This committee is composed of Messrs. Scott and Wild, and tbey are empowered to revivify the Congress. The details of these two schemes will be completed by corre spondence. A BIG WEEK'S WORK. LAID OUT IN ADVANCE FOR THE HOUSES OF CONGRESS. The Senate Will Conalder the Tariff and Ap propriation Billa and Conference Re port The Home Will Biscuit Import ant Lnbor and Agricultural Slennures, Washington, August 24. The order of business for the remainder of the session, as arranged by the Republican committee of tbe Senate, provides that tbe considera tion of the tariff bill shall be completed without interruption, except appropriation billsand conference reports. There are two conference reports expected to be presented during the week one on tha irrigation sur vey provisions of the sundry civil bill, and the other one the land grant for feiture hill. One day, possibly two, will be occupied in the discussion and disposition of these conference reports. Senator Aid rich, in charge of the tariff bill, will, be fore the Senate meets to-morrow, endeavor to reach an agreement with the Democratic Senators as to the date on which voting shall begin on the bill and amendments. He will then ask unanimous consent io have voting begin on the date agreed upon. He will also ask that debate during the last three days shall be conducted under the five-minute rule. The Democrats de sire that the six hours next preceding the final vote on the bill shall be occupied in general debate, to be equally divided be tween the'two sides. Under this arrange ment, if it is carried out, Mr. Carlisle will close for the Democrats and Mr. Aldrich for the Republicans. The programme for the week's proceedings in the House has already been agreed upon by that body as to part of the time, and the Rules Committee -will probably provide for the disposition of tbe remainder. Monday would be District day in the ordinary course -of business, bnt it is possible that the river and harbor bill will be again put forward to the exclusion ofDistrlct matters.Tuesday and Wednesday will be occupied by the Com mittee on Agriculture with the option bill, and Thursday and Saturday are to be as signed to the Committee on Labor, which has the eight-hocr bill and other labor measures ready for action. Friday will thus be given up to the consideration of private bills, conference reports, or possiblv to the river and harbor bill it it is not out of the way by that day. AH ACT OF TARDY JUSTICE.

Baxter to be Surgeon General of the Army, was an act of tardy justice to a faithful and capable official, which President Harrison ought to have been glad of the opportunity to per form. Among the minor results of the fatal shot which Guitean fired on the 2nd of July, 1881, was tbe destruction of Dr. Bax ter's prospects of becoming Surgeon General. President Garfield only the day before he was shot had promised to send Dr. Baxter's name to the Senate.

ISFCCZAI, TXLXOHAK TO TBI DISFATCH.1 Washington, August 24 .One of the hobbies of the recently retired Quarter master General of the Army, General Hala bird, was the "comfort" of tbe enlisted men, and his service was distinguished by many changes in uniforms and clothing. He early conceived the idea of haying "patch." pockets placed on the soldiers' blouses, and four such receptacles were provided on this garment Officers of the Department did not favor the change. It was objected to on ac count of the unsoldierly appearance created by the stufled pockets of a tightly-buttoned blouse. General Halabird was pleased to see the general use of his idea by the en listed men, and would not enterfain any suggestion of a return to the pocketless jacket. The opposition to the blouse in creased and General . Halabird's subordi nates joined in the feeling of revulsion. It was determined to abandon the unmilitary coat and the opportunity came last week. As soon as General Halabird retired au order having the desired effect was pre pared, and the new Quartermaster General was depended upon to approve the docu ment in the conrse of routine action.. This has now beeu dooe, and hereafter the en listed men will find other repositories for eatables and scrap iron, with which it was represented tha Halabird pockets were filled.

On Friday noon Edwin Russell, a prominent real estate broker, who was at one time President of the British Bank at' Port land, Ore., died of apoplexy. Three hours later his ghpst appeared before Harry W. Reeves, leader of St Luke's choir, of which Russell was a member. Reeves is a son of Sims Reeves, the famous English tenor. It was while he was ar ranging music for Sunday's service that tbe apparition appeared. Reeves relates his ex perience as follows: I went to my room and lay down on a lounge, and then, by an impulse I cannot account lor, I walked to tbo door. The bead ot the stair way was somewhat dimly lighted, but not so dimly but what I could at once see what ap peared to be tbo flgure of Russell. It was so real, so life-like, that I at once stepped forward and stretched out my hand and was about to speak some words of welcome. Tbo flgure seemed to have a roll of music in one hand and tbe otber was over itBiace. but it was Russell's image. As i advanced to tbe bead of the stairway tbe figure seemed to turn as if about to descend and faded into air. I remember trying to speak to it hut my tongue clung to tbe'roof of my mouth. Tben I fell against tbe wall and gasped out, "Oh, my God." My sister and niece, with otber folks, came up and my niece said: "Uncle Henry, what is the matter?" I went on to explain what it was, bnt was so scared I could hardly speak. My niece said: "Don't you know Rus sell is dead?" Well, tbat flabbergastered me. It only made matters worse, and I nearly fainted. ' CATTLE-SHIP PIRATES, . Tbey Rob tbo Vriel' Cargo and Are Promptly Placed In Irans. SPECIAL TELEQBAM TO THE DISPATCH. New York, August 24. The steamship Richmond Hill came in to-day from London and Havre with two of her forty returning American cattle men in irons between decks. They did what idle voyagers of their class have been doing on cattle ships for the last several months tbat is, they ran sacked the ship's cargo and stole a case of ale. Captain Hamilton Perry, of the Rich mond HiU, one of the very few native Americans in the British service, did not stand any nonsense from the cattlemen as the captain of the Chicago did. Just as soon as he discovered that the cargo had been touched he started an investigation, and had no difficulty in find ing out who were the thieves, as both of them were pretty drank. He imprisoned them between decks, and when the ship came up to quarantine he telegraphed that he wanted two cattlemen arrested. The police boat patrol took them off and they were locked up in the Church street station. They said they were James Preston, aged 24, and Barney Coyle, aged 28, of this city. The men who stole ale from the Chicago's cargo have been extradited and will be tried in England. The same fate is probably in store for Pres ton and Coyle. S0UETHIKO DROPPED TS GOTHAM.

The fall in the temperature was about a day ahead of time this year, it general ty takes place on August 25. It marks the first touch of fall. The main temperature of the August cold spell is 61 degrees. This fall in tbe temperature this ' year . as stated is below the average.

Whereas, A little history Is a dangerous thing if properly utilized; and, Whereas, .It has been said that tbe late-Governor Seymour of tbe State of New York set tled a "strike" upon the same riilway in the year 1853 by informing the President and Board of Directors of the Vanderbilt Railroad that they each and all must meet bim and his Cab inet at a certain place at a certain time to hear what he, as tbe Chief Executive of tbe Com monwealth of the State of New York, had to say about tbe "strike' or submit to arrest SETMOUE'S WAY OS1 SETTLING IT. Whereas. The said railroad magnates met tbe servants of the people of the State of New York as tbey bad been ordered to do by the said Governor; and Whereas. Tbe said Governor of the State of New York then and there informed tbe said railroad magnates that he bad "nothing to say whatever about the fuss between tbe railroad and the laborers except this: Namely, the 1 railroad company is body of nubile servauts, created by the laws of the State ol now xort for the purpose of operating a public high way in said State, and In case you can't agree with your employes within 24 hours from this time, I shall seize the railroad and operate it for the public at tbe cost of the service rendered: and in order that you may realize the fact that I will- do so. 1 now place you. each and all, under arrest, with the understanding that I will not enforce this order for one day unless I And tbat you are attempting to escape from the limits of the State of New York." and Whereas, That famous "strike" was settled within one hour from that time, as the records will show, unless they have been destroyed; and Whereas, It was not known until recently that Congress had tbe power to own and oper ate an inter-State highway of transportation and communication; therefore. Resolved. Tbat we do hereby demand tbat Congress shall at once authorize and instruct the Secretary of War to seize tbe said Vander bilt system ot railroads and operate the same at coat ot said service l or the benefit and pleasure of the public. " -XltkETAIAXE 'ACTION DEMANDED. Resolred, Further, that tbe said railroad shall be turned over to thedepartmentof trans portation, just as soon as Senate bill No 4106, or some similar measure can be enacted by Con gress for the reason that "it is a monstrous absurdity tbat any private person or corpora tion should presnme to throttle the transporta tion of persons, though other things, within the limits of this Republic at their own sweet pleasure." , Resolved, That we do hereby ask all bodies of organized labor m tbe United States to substi tute their names for ours in this declaration and have said declaration published in their local papers, as well as forward marked copies of said papers to their Senators and Kepresent atives in Congress with a red-bot letter of in structions to obey their wants and wishes or resign forthwith. Resolved, Tbat this declaration be published in all city papers so that it will meet tbe atten tion of tbe public After the resolution was passed the coun cil adjourned. This resolution was first passed at a regular meeting, held August 12, by the Wage Workers' Political Alli ance, of Washington, D. C. A telegram from New York states that an action similar to that ot the Chicago Trades' Council, in recommending Federal inter ference in the strike, was taken by tbe Cen tral Labor "Onion at a meeting to-night. A DETERMINED WAR TO BE WAGED AGAINST ALL THE VAN DERBILT LINES OF RAILWAY. Mr. Webb Contradicts Statements Made by Powderlv The Executive Officers i.enre for Albany Expectation Tbat a Gen eral (strike Will be Ordered. New Yobk, August 24. The usual Sun day quietude prevailed around the Grand Central depot to-day. The officials of tne railroad were at their posts as usual, but everyone declared .that no trouble was an ticipated. Vice President Webb is of the opinion that the Terre Haute'convention will do little or nothing in support of the action ol the Knights of Labor, and that the strike, if there is one, will quietly be proved a failure. Belating to Mr. Fowderly's latest mani festo, which was published in this morn ing's papers, Mr. Webb said that all the statements bearing on the management of the road were untrue. To-morrow he will investigate the charges made by the men whose affidavits are attached to Mr. Pow derly's manifesto, and will make public the result , Generar Master Workman Powderly, Secretary J. W. Hayes, A. W. Wright and John Devlin, of the General Executive Board of the Knights ol Labor, left at 6 P. m. to-night lor Albany. Mr. Powderly will address a meeting there to-morrow night in tbe Park Street Rink. The board will be joined at Albany by J. J. Holland, who comes from Buffalo. Their future movements will be- tben determined. It has been decided, however, to establish head quarters to conduct operations in the strike. In the luture work of the Knights the General Executive Board will use every effort to wage war against the Vanderbilt lines. At a hotel on the corner of Eighth avenue and Twenty-sixth street, the headquarters of Local Assembly No. 344, the members were in session all day to-day. President Johnson, of the Assembly, in commenting upon the situation, said: "We stand just where we stood at tbe beginning" of the Btrike. We still believe our cause is just Unless the concessions demanded are agreed to, we expect to-morrow that a gen eral strike will be ordered.", "Is there any hope on the part of the strikers here that the engineers will join them?" was asked. "None whatever," wasthe reply. "We have never expected such addition of strength to our cause. We are prepared to win our cause without it. We do expect aud know that when the word is given for the general strike fully 9.0001 men in the Vanderbilt system will walk out, and we know that these men, switchmen, firemen and yardmen, cannot be replaced under any circumstances. And, this is not all. We expect the strike to prevail equally among other roads." , THE LEADERSJN COUNCIL SEVERAL DAYS MAY ELAPSE BEFORE A DECISION IS KNOWN. Mr. Saraent Commends Powderlj's Attltnde and Speaks or Dr. Depew's Advocacy of Iabor Organizations Opposed to Strikes on Principle. Teeee Haute, Augnst 24. Nothing authoritative will be given out as to the deliberations of the Supreme Council before to-morrow at the earliest. It is among the probabilities tbat the decision of the coun cil may not be reached for several days. This Sunday saw no convening of tbe council'proper. This does not mean that the agencies were not at work. The coun cil last night put into the bands of Eugene M. Debs, Grand Secretary of the Brother hood of Firemen, P. H. Morrissey, Vice Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Train men, and Jobn Downey, Vice Grand Mas ter of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Asso ciation, the deliberations of the council, and they will prepare certain propositions to be reported to the council which will de fine the action of the supreme body. Tbe committee has been in session since 8 o'clock last evening. A correspondent called at Mr. Sargent's honse to-day. Mr. Sargent was as frank as usual. He had carefully read the letter ofMr. Powderly to Mr. Webb, sent out last t While President Sargent would no& S any opinion as to the action he wouV on the renort of the committee, vet he1 V? expressed himself auoufc jur. ruwuo -. -i . ir -u J v. n missive. He said 'I admire Mr. x C3 AlA .I....? TI.Jn1CT nn.o TVaIiK tn ,.;r h K.in. .J kM .in rt S public thoroughly understands it, will cori vince it that Mr. Webb is wrong. Mr. Webb's position is directly opposite to that taken bv Mr. Depew. his superior officer. Mr. Depew has always advocated the organ ization of labor." , In proof ot the latter assertion, Mr. Sar gent gave tbe-correspondent numerous ex tracts from speeches delivered by Mr. De pew before the engineers and firemen, wherein the speaker repeatedly commended the organization of workingmeu "for pro tection, for charity, sobriety and industry." Mr. Sargent said tbat Mr. Depew went on record as advocating the combining of labor for its own protection, and added: "The Knights of Labor as an organization are combining to-day to protect the New York Central employes, just what tbe presi dents that great corporation has advocated, and I am in sympathy with the boys. While I have never been an advocate of strikes where there was a wav onen to avoid them, yet I cannot help but believe that tbe position of the executive head of the K. of4 L. is correct" A GENERAL TIE-UP POSSIBLE. Donbllal Prospect of a Settlement of the Strike nt tbe Stock Yards. Chicago, August 24. The strike of the firemen and engineers of the-Union Stock Yards Switching Association is still on, with a prospect of a decided aggravation of the difficulties'. After the conference of yes terday the strikers finally decided to sub mit, as a compromise a demand for 18 cents per hour for firemen and 29 cents per hour for engineers, the latter also to be paid for Sunday work in caring for engines. This was somewhat less than their first demand. This was communicated to the roads of the Switching Association with the expectation that the latter would return an answer to the strikers to-day. This expecta tion, however, has not been fulfilled i and the men have to-day .receive no com munication orintimation of the intention of the association. -This has made tbe strikers restless and tbey have arrived at the con clusion tbat their demand is to be rejected. Mindful of the announcement yesterday tbe most of tbe men will return to work to morrow, and those who do not will be con sidered out of the employ of the association. The roads will fill their places with new men employed by tbe respective roads, instead of the association. This evening the strikers have been in conference with the ofScers cf the organiza tions of tbe engineers, firemen and switch men, and it is their hope that the latter will espouse their cause aud tie up every road entering fhe stock yards in case an attempt is made to employ non-union men to-morrow to take tbe place ot the strikers. TWO M0EE B0ADS UT TB0UBLE. A Tie-Up on the Fltchbnrc and West Shore Decided Dpon. Albany, August 24. A prominent leader in the Central strike and an officer of one of the local as semblies who is in a position to know whereof he speaks, to-night said: "A tie-up in the yards of the Wett Shore and Fitcbburg roads at Rotterdam junction has been determined. The men are all ready to go out when they receive the word. The Fitchburg road now has 40 Pinkerton men in the yards in anticipation of trouble, The Fitchburg has been lending assistance, to southbound ireigbts were sent from the West Albany yards and more will go out to-night" No extension of the strike on the D. & H. road is reported as yet. Superintendent Hammond posted a notice to-nigbt, saying all the men out on strike who did not re turn to work in the morning would be con sidered as having left the employ of tbe company, and their places would be filled by new men. He also telephoned Chief Williard, telling him the road would start moving freight to-morrow and asked for po lice protection. Remarkable progress was made to-day in clearing the West Albany yards of freight HANDLING CENTRAL FREIGHT Iitkelr to Remit In a General Strike on Several Railroads. Albany, August 24.

Kaiser Wilhelm has left Russia, the last event of his visit being a banquet tendered him by the Czar. The mouarchs parted on apparently pleasant terms. The Asiatic cholera scare in England and the Irish famine rumors are said to be somewhat, over drawn. By Assoclatea Press. St. PETEESBtrBQ, August24. A farewell banqnet was given last evening atPeterhof Palace. The Czar, Emperor William, Chan cellor von Caprivi, M. de Giers, and a num ber of leading officials were present After t rVJie banquet the Czar and the Emperor went ii upon a Daicony wnicn overlooks tne 'dens of the palace. These were bril- de"" of the palace. , o tly illuminated, the fountains, cascades h-ottoes being lighted up with colored Gi. nd presenting a dazzling'spectacie. "C. among other devices b ield, on which were displayed the Q , Emperor's initials in letters of fire ana the coat of arms of Prussia. At 10 o'clock the Emperor departed. He was accompanied to the quay by the Czar, the officers of the Vi borgBegiment, of which the Emperor is Honorary Colonel, forming a guard of honor. Upon arriving at- tho landing stage the Emperor shook hands with each of the officers and bade the Czar a cordial farewell. As tbe steamer left the quay the Czar called out "Bon voyage, au revoir." The Emperor boarded the Im perial yacht Hohenzollern, which put to sea at dawn escorted by the German ironclad, Irene. Vice Admiral Schwartz, Military Gov ernor of Cronstadt, gave a dinner last even- "2 to the officers of the Irene and Hohen- znllern. The Admiral toasted Emperor William, and Captain von Arnim proposed the health of the Czar. Baron Marscball von Bieberstein, German Imperial Foreign Secretary, has left Berlin to meet the Em peror at Mamel. Tbe Oraihdanin says that, while the Czar and Emperor William desire peace in order to be able to occupy themselves with in ternal affairs, there is no problem either actual or.prospective that can serve them as a motive for common action. Tbe interview, therefore, could admit of no object beyond that ot strengthening the present peace by affording ocular testimony as to the amica ble relations existing between Bussia and Germany. .
