TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Buffalo, Aug. 23. Grand Master Switchman Sweeny himself to-day got a taste of the medicine that has been admin istered to the non-union switchmen who came to Buffalo to take the places of the strikers. Sweeny is only temporarily bunged up, and is not permanently injured. It all happened this way: Mr. Sweeny had just finished giving his testimony be fore the board. He was leaving the hall, when he was approached by Striker Quint). Mr. Quiun weighs 219 pounds, Mr. Sweeny about 130 pounds. Mr. Quinn is the Secretary of the lodge of switchmen which takes in the men employed by the Kickel Plate road. It appears that he was one of the men who was not consulted by the Grand Master Switchman before the strike was declared off Mr. Sweeny was on the steps of the New Era Hall when Quinn approached. "Good morning, Sweeny," he said, in the most disrespectful manner possible. "Good morning, Quinn," replied Mr. Sweeny, cheerily. "Yes, good morning, Sweeny," repeated Quinn. "Why in did you say this fight was over?" What in do you think we struck for, anyway, you white-livered mon key? To get licked? How you look here, if you don't call a meeting of the switchmen' s unions and have this fight declared on again your name will be mud, not Sweeny. You hear me talking?" Sweeny Keeps Hi Temper TVelL "You are getting excited, are yon not?" asked Mr. Sweeny, still retaining control oi his temper. Biff, bang, bnng! Qninn's fists shot out Tbey landed in either of Mr. Sweeny's eyes. They hit his nose, they bauged his mouth, they broke his teeth. Biff, bang, bung! They shot out again. They broke the skin wherever tbey landed. BiffJ bang, bung! Acaiu they shot out and Mr. Sweeny was laying in the gutter. His eyes had already begun to swell. "You sold ns out to the railroad com panies," shouted Quinn. Biff! "You are a traitor." Bang! "You are no, earthly use." Bung! "You're a white-livered monkey, and I'll punch seven different kinds of daylight through yon." Quinn was down on Sweeny by this time, and seemed to be carrying out his threat. In a moment he cot tired of pouching and he jumped up and began Kicking the Grand Master. He kicked him and he kicked him, and then he fell on him again and punched and mauled him. This1 was all in broad daylight, and on a street in the busiest part of Buffalo. Nobody interfered. There were women in the crowd that looked on. "When Quinn had finished, be got up, brushed the mud from his cloth ing, and started to walk away. Quinn Allowed to Get Array. It was then that some of the men in the crowd thought it would be a good thing to detain him. He saw them coming, and started on a run down Main street, and shouted: "Keep back, there. If any of yes follow me I'll kill ye." The pursuers turned around and went back to where Sw eeny lay groaning on the pavement. The Grand Master Switchman was assisted by several members ot the switchmen's order to the first drugstore that was encountered by Sweeny, and had his head put under a cold water faucet and the water turned on while a man held a bot tle of ammonia to his nose. He recovered in a few minutes, then his wounds were washed and dressed. He did not look so bad after it was all over as might have been expected, though if it hadn't been tor the application of leeches to his eyes he might not have been recognized by casual acquaintances. - Alter he had been patched up Mr. Sweeny said: "It was one of the most cowardly assaults I ever heard of" "What cause could he have to hit you?" asked The DrsPATcn reporter. "Quinn is a Nickel Plate switchman, and has been thrown out of a job by the strike. I suppose he blames me for the loss of his position, ana Las taken this, way to get even. It was his only course, be thought, I suppose." Mr. Sweeny said he would not have Quinn arrested, but would leave lor Toronto as soon as he was able. Then some of the soldiers started to capture him, but he ran away. He was ordered to halt,-but failed to do so, and one of the soldiers raised Us musket and fired. The ball took effect in the boy's ttomaob. causing a very serious and probably fatal wound. The wounded boy was taken to the hospital. SOLDIERS GOING. HOME.' Arrangements Made to Believe Some of the Itf gltnents All of Them TV 111 Not Leave tlie Late f cene ot Strifo for Awhtlr. Buffalo, Aug 25. Special' The news that the strike was off reached the camps among the spider curbs of railroad tracks almost as soon as it was known at head quarters, and was received with joy. Walter Webb, -of the New York Central, had already told General Porter that if this'strike did not prove to. be different in its after effects from the others that he had seen, it would be safe to send the troops home as soon as the strike was declared off. General Porter prepared to act upon this suggestion. He called Colonel Phisterer, General McGrath and Major Young into conference with him at once. With Gen eral McGrath he arranged the details of the commissary department With Major Young, ot General Oliver's Third brigade staff, he arranged the details of transporta tion. Mnjor Young is the Vice President of the pelaware and Hudson Canal Com pany. It was intended to send all the troops home at once. General Porter began to communicate over Captain Gallup s lines with the commanding officers. The Twelfth has been doing the hardest work of any reg iment here, but Colonel Dowd said he did not think it was sale to leave his district The railroad people said also that they still needed protection. It was then arranged that.troop A and the signal corps, all but Captain Gallup, should go; that camp 12, at the New York Central car shops, should be abandoned, and theTenth Battalion, of Albany, uuder Colonel Fitch, and the Troy Citizens' corps and Twenty-first Separate Company of Troy, who were with them, could go home, and that the Jbirst Provisional Regi ment, at Camp 9, at the New York Central shops, where Cantain Kirby, Of Auburn, was in command, should leave to-night at lL The Twenty-third left at 10 o'clock.

I HARRISON HAT MAKE SOME SPEECHES CAUSES OF THE STRIKE Being Ascertained by the Inquiry of the Board of Arbitration. Buffalo, Aug. 25. The State Board of Arbitration resumed its hearing into the causes and circumstances of the late switch men's strike to-day. Mr. Sweeny stated that he received at his home in Chicago no tice from the Buffalo switchmen that the railroads here had notified them that the men would in the future be worked upon a per hour basis and requesting his presence. Mr. Sweeny came and ordered the formulation of grievances and presentation. This course having tailed, Mr. Sweeny visited the rail road managers. The Lehigh and Beading system nad retused to treat with the switch men's representatives. Mr. Sweeny then saw Mr. Layng, of the WeBt Shore, who took a negative position at the outset, and maintained it. Jiy. Walters, 01 the Erie, would give no definite reply, and Mr. Bell, of the Western New York and Pennsyl vania road, referred Mr. Sweeny to other officials of the road. Mr. "Sweeney was asked to name the roads where men struck for cause, and he said tne ienig.i valley, Uuttalo Ureefc, Erie Canal and West Shore. The sympa thetic strikers, he said, were from the Lake Shore, Western .New York and Pennsyl vania, Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg, and Delaware, Lackawanna and Western. At the afternoon session Superintendent Brunn, of the Erie, and the Superintendent of the Lehigh road were examined as to the events preceding the strike and after. Mr. Brunn stated that new cars had been de stroyed to the number of 12 or 15, costing ?600 apiece. He also stated that of his own observation the strikers had interfered with the new men and with the property of the company. After further testimonv the hearing adjourned to meet in New York, when Mr. Webb will be examined. FOUR MEN IHJUBED. the West A Color, il Man Fnand Badly ITarl Other Ace dents of the Bay. A colored man was taken to Penn Hospital last night in an unconscious condition, and it is thought he will die. He was found lying in the Pennsylvania railroad yards at Seventeenth street, with a number of ugly cuts on his head. It is sup posed that he was struck and knocked down while attempting to board a train. There was nothing about his person by which to identify him, and he was unable to tell how he was injured.

He attempted to cross auimiueiu street near ine oncuce just as an electric car passed.

Deteoit, Aug. 25. More than 10,000 persons assembled to-day on the grounds of the Detroit International Fair and Expos!-, lion company; it being "political day," and there being present prominent speakers of the different parties, who made addresses cf some length in favor of their respective political beliefs. The speaking began at 1 o'clock. "" Ex-Congressman Dunnell, of Minnesota, represented the Bepublican party, and was well received by those pres ent. Colonel Norton, of Chicago, made a strong speech in favor of the People's party crusade, and was followed by Congressman William M. Springer, from Illinois, who received a flattering reception when he arose to speak on behalf of Democratio tenets. He discussed national politics, dwelling particularly npon the tariff ques tion. Mr. Springer, having made a brief introductory statement, proceeded to dis cuss national politics) and especially the tariff. He said: One of the stock arguments of the protec tionists is that under the system of piotec tlon which has prevailed in this country for more than a quarter of a century onr coun try has been brought to the front rank In agrionture. in mining and in manufactutes. ir protection has accomplished so much for our country and people, It must also be held responsible for the evils whlott have sprung up under it, and which It seems rather to iosrer man to abate. Turning to the Bureau or Statistics or the Treasury Department I find that during the past 25 years, while protection has prevailed in all lis vigor, Just as Its friends would have it, a vast t army of individuals, firms and corporations in the United States, amounting In number to nearly 200,000. have succumbed to the pressure of liurd times and have gone Into bankruptcy. Their ag gregate liabilities have exceeded $3,500, 000,000. A Feature of the Failures. But this la not all. It appears that tho number of commercial failures Increased In 1891, as compared with the year 1889, the year before the passing of tho McKiuloy bill, la Der cent, and the liabilities lnoreased 27 per cent. Tho MoKlnley law did not Improve the financial situation. On the contrary. It seems to have added fuel to the flamo. In-the whole country the interest charge on mortgage indebtedness, nt an average or 8 percent, amounts to over $35,000 000 a year. The people who are struggling under this mountain of debt aio the victims of high protective tariffs I have given much thought and study to the subject, and It is my candid opinion, based upon carefully pro pared data and official statistics, that within the past SO years, during which time the nrnhnHvA awaf Ain h..nt.-nll.i4 !... 1 of the United States have paid, in the in creased cost of domestic commodities by reason ot tho taiitf on forelgsr products of like cnaracter.a sum exceeding $16 003,001,000. This Is in addition to the $5 000,000,000 actually received bv the Government on foreign products. Every dollar or this vast sum was wrung from the hands of toil and bestowed upon the benefloiaries of the tariff or wasted on unprofitable industries. It is the price the people have been required to pay for so called "protection to American Industries." Executive Committee of the People' party has decided that Eastern headquarters shall be opened immediately at 405 Washington street, Boston. It was resolved to put up a, full State ticket in each of the States represented, namely: Maine, New Hampshire, Bhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jer sey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. .Plana for an aggressive campaign in each of these States were mapped out. WEAVER'S BEC0ED IN DBHABD. Democrats Eager to Make Uso of an Old Sp-ech- of Henderson's. ' Washington, Aug. 25. Special One of the documents most numerously sent out from the headquarters' of the Democratio Congressional Committee is the speech made some years ago by General Henderson, of Iowa, in which he gave what purported to be the record of General Weaver, now the candidate for the People's party for Presi dent. "The Democrats are raking heaven and earth for campaign material against the new party," said one of the Attaches of the People's party headquarters to-day, refer ring to this speech, "and although they thought the Republicans were liars years ago when tbey attacked General Weaver, they are now willing to use what they at that time were convinced was wholly false. But no attack on Weaver will affect the new party vote in the least It is onr principles, and not men, that we are fighting for, though we believe our men to be as pure and sincere as any of the candidates ot the old parties." "How do the Alliance and'lhe 'Populists' harmonize in politics?" was asked. "You may say perfectly. While the Al liance is not a political party, its members, as individuals, are almost to a man working in onr ranks. The best test, however, is the choice of State organs made by the Alliance at its State conventions which have been held during recent months. Almost inva riably some organ of the' People's party was seleeted at the organ of the Alliance, and you might say the choice was unanimous and the dissenting voices were never more than two or three out of delegates number ing from 100 to 200. Why, the Alliance is the mother of the People's party, and will so noble a mother forsake so noble a son?" KEff ADYERTIEEMWrTB. Friday AND Saturday T v5SjBP-5"9ISP'fjs?tt. Friday AND Saturday I NITS' MPLETE OUTFITS. RETURN OF THE STRIKERS. Chances for the Men to Get Their Old Jobs Some of the .Roads Are Holding Places for Them, but More Will Find Their Oc cupation Gone. Buffalo, Aug. 25. Superintendent Brunn, of the Erie road, stated to-day that there are probably 25 good switchmen who went out from the Erie because they feared for their lives it they did not These men will be takn bacs:, but beyond that the most careful scrutiny will be exercised. The Lehigh people are only receiving lhe names of applicants. They have restored no strikers as vet. Superintendent John ston, of the Nickel Plate, says the road will not hire any of the strikers. They have 35 new men, and that is all he needs. General Superintendent Cannon", of the Lake Shore, savs that he has no vacancies to fill, and the Erie people make practically the-same statements. It is quite probable that all .the Lackawanna switchmen can find employment if they care to go back; But already there are rumors that the Lackawanna engineers and trainmen have a grievance of their own, and that the switch men will stay with them and help them fight it out. In this connection, Trainmas ter Wilkinson's stay in Buffalo may be looked upon as significant. The Lackawanna people sent back to their places to-dav the monthly men thev bad brought up Irom the East to man their Buffalo yards, und all the old men save five have returned to work. Erie county's Sheriff has been making close computations to-day as to the final cot of the strike. He figures the cost at 114,750, while others say it will reach 5150,000. A BOY SHOU Be TljrrTV Stones nt the Soldiers, Refused to Surrender, and Was Finked. Buffalo, Aug. 25. Another serious' case of shooting by the military occurred to-day.

HEEEDITABY PATJPEBISH. reople Who Want Charity Became Their Ancestors Received It. "Begging is undoubtedly hereditary," said George Hoffmac, of the Department of Public Charities, yesterday. "I can look back on three generations pf families and find them all to be beggars. JuBf the other day an able-bodied young man came in the office for help, saying he eould find no work. Some time ago we gave aid to his mother, who applied to us after her hus band's death. The husband depended upon us through all his life. No, it is a degrad ing thing to apply for public charity, for it certainly degenerates a person. It makes them dependent, and they make no effort to help themselves. As a result thev accumu late no' money, and their children after mem louow their example as the easiest way of existing.

Strikes Under Different Tariffs. From 1846 to 1860, a period of 15 years or low tariff a Democratio tariff, if you please, for revenue only thoio were only 74 strikes and lockoutb of which any official report has been made. There were quite a number of strikes reported during this period, but they were of little or no importance. Alto gether, there were not 200 strikes and lock outs during the whole period of 15 years. During the past 15 years there have been over 6,000 strike and lockouts In the United States. From 1876 to 1880 there are no sta tistics as to tho number of persons Involved, but from 1881 to 1690, inclusive, there were over 1,000 000 persons Involved in suoh strikes ana lockouts. An effort Is being made by the Carnegie Steel Company, a cigantlo monopoly, cre ated and fostered by our protective tariff laws, to reduce the wages ot tuolr 3,400 em ployes 10 to 40 per cent. The rates hereto fore paid were not uureasonably high, as is Bometlmes assorted. Only a few of the em ployes, and those most highly skilled, re ceived high wages. Nearly half of them were getting only It cents an hour, or $1 13 mi ciKui. uuuxa wuns. jess cnan xu per cent of the employes owned the bouses in which they lived, and those living In the com pany's houses have been summarily evicted since the strike bcan.

This contest has attracted universal atten tion from the fact that early in the strike or lockout n band of private .dectectives em ployed by tho Carnegie Steel Company, armed with revolvers and repeating rifles, invaded the State or Pennsylvania, fired upon the crowd of worklnginen and pro voked a battle in which ten or twelve per sons lost their lives and a largo number were more or less seriously wounded.

Tho Democratic candidate for uovernor in mat contest. General John II. Palmer, now United States Senator from that State, was especially pronounced in his opposition to such employment. He said he was "in lavor of a Government as strong ns tho law, and noatrongeij as weak ns the law and no weaker." This Is tho doctrine or tho Democratio party. We hold that the offi cers or the Uw aio competent to enforce tho law, and that the employment or private in dividuals to perlorm official innotlons, ex cept as the law directs, is revolutionary, and no better than mob violence itself.

Special A statement emanating from Washington, to the effect that President Harrison and the Bepublican National Committee are at loggerheads over the Question of the Presi dent's taking the stump during the present campaign, caused general smiles, to day, among the knowing, as it is pretty well understood that the Bepubliean National Campaign Committee was organ ized as Mr. Harrison desired, is running the campaign under his direction, and would hardly interfere with any desire he might entertain to go on the platform in his own behalf. The story is that the President wants to make several speeches, but the committee desires him in the background while it works out his political salvation through other agencies. Mr. Hahn, who has the management of the speakers' bureau, has not placed Mr. Harrison on his list of speakers' yet, and does not expect tp do so. The strongest argument which the President is expected to advance for re-election, it is said, will bo his letter of acceptance, which be is prepar ing at Loon Lake. It he makes any speeches, they are not expected to be of a political character, but the clever sort for which he has a knack.

John Kuhns, who was defeated at the recent primary election for- Senator, created a sensation by charging that the return judges violated their oaths and broke the law of the Commonwealth bv admitting the votes of certain districts ihea the ballot did not accompany the same. Disorder prevailed among the committee when the charge was made by Mr. Kuhns, and it was some time before Chairman Keenan could restore order. Another thing that Mr. Kuhns objected to was the placing of so much power in the hands of Chairman Keenan. ''Not only the laws of the Commonwealth have been violated," said Jlr. Kuhns, "but the rules of the County Democracy have been thrown aside, and the choosing of a Becretery and an executive board has been turned over to the Chairman.

Under the heading of "Wanes." It appears Irom the report of the statistician employed by tho committee, that in fifteen general' occupations selected by the committee, wages were "ihrsc fmirths of 1 per cent higher in September 18t8, than In three months (June, July and August), selected as a basis in 1880, and that the wages in the special Industrie snlnntnrf were thirty-one hundredths or 1 per cent. fiu iiuu uit bua vcgiamnjr 01 sne period. Recent Increase of Wages. The Mckinley bill increased the tariff on protected articles 'is per cent on a general average, but .Its" friends now clam that wages have Increased In these 15 Industries, since Its passage, less than one-third of 1 per cent. In other words, the laborerin these selected industries who received $1 63 a day before the McKinley act was passed, mav now receive one-half of a cent a day more. If this statement of allezed increase in wages, after the passage of the McKinley bill, and by Inference as a result of its pas su ee; were not -made by able and distin guished Sonators, leaden of their party.

It further insists that whatever is paid on account of the tariff shall go into tho public treasury to support the Govern ment, and that no more snail be levied than is necessary for the purpose of Government, honestly and economically administered: in other words, that it Shall be a tariff for revenue, and not to enrich one class or peo-i pie, the favored few, at tho expense of the tolling millions.
