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

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.

A colored man was taken to

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. Thp otheraccidents of yes

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?"

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.

"Begging is undoubtedly hereditary,"

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

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. This
Important incident calls to mind the contest

Palmer, now United States Senator from

HABEIB0N WANTS 10 SPEAK,
But Somo of Bis Advisers Think Be Should
Kep Off the Stump.
New Yobk, Aug. 25. 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.

A Befeated Candidate Creates a 'Sensation
. In n Committee Meeting.
Geeensbubo, Ang. 25. Special. At a
meeting of the Democratic County Com
mittee here this afternoon Hon. 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. It is an out
rage, and'the Connty Democracy will not
submit to proceedings of this nature."

the statistician employed by tho committee,
that in fifteen general' occupations selected
by the committee, wages were "ihrsc
