pouring into the city to-day and to-night,
and the inaugural ceremonies and demon
stration promise to be quite imposing. The
military are arriving and martial music
fills the streets at this hour. The main

afternoon, and the grand military ball at
ni lit, will be popular features of the day.

so.

THE NATIONAL PRISON CONGRESS.
The IMm-usnIou of Various Subjects la Atlanta
Tealerday,
Atlanta, November 8.—“Prison Hy
giene” was the subject for the morning
session of the national prison congress.
Hon. Wm. B. Patterson, of Cleveland, pre
sided and read the opening paper. He
said architecture in prison construction
should be subordinated to sanicaiy condi
tions, the most important of which are
abundant air and water. The paper out
lined some general directions for prison
structure which had been found to
secure these ends. The subject was dis
cussed by Charles E. Felton, of Chicago;
A. A. Brush, warden of Sing
Sing prison; JameS Massle, of Toronto;
M. J. Cassidy, warden of the Eastern Penn
sylvania prison at Philadelphia; Major
McCloughey, warden of the Illinois state
prison nt Joliet; Prof. Francis Waylaiid, of
Yale college, and others. The question of
the number of tiers of cells which should
he built evoked a difference of opinion,
but most of the speakers were in favor of
not more than three or four tiers.
On the question of the occupancy
Qf cells there was an almost
unanimous expression in favor of
only one prisoner to a cell, except in cases
where the temper of the prisoner nr some
mental or bodily affliction made it advisa
ble to give him a companion. An invita
tion was received from the
LESSEES OF TIIE GEOROIA CONVICTS,
who have their camp near Atlanta, asking
the appointment of a committee to visit
and inspect their camp. In response to
this invitation a committee of ten, with
Gen. Brinkerhoff, of Ohio, as chairman,
was appointed, and will visit the camp to
morrow.
The afternoon session was occupied with
a discussion of prison diet. The discus
sion was opened by A. A. Brush, of Sing
Sing, who described the manner of feeding
prisoners at that prison. He gave the fig
ures for last year, which showed that the
cost per diem for feeding prisoners at Sing
Sing was
9.7 CENTS per capita,
clothing 2j cents per capita, and
the total coot of keeping prison
ers, i--cluding\ salaries of officers, 29.4
cents each per day. The subject
was further discussed by Maj McClnughey,
of Joilet. Col. Gardner Tufts, of Concord,
F. II. Wines, of Illinois, Mr. Mnylen, of
Canada, M. J. Cassidy, of Philadelphia,
Rev. Dr. Byres, of Ohio, Mrs. Dr. R. Camp
bell, of Illinois, and others.
A rather lively discussion was held on
the inquiry whether friends and relations
of prisoners should be allowed to carry
presents to them. Mr. Cassidy and Dr.
Byres led t he opposition to this plan, while
it‘was warmly championed by Major Mc
Cloughey, Mr. Brush. Mr. Tufts and Mrs.
! Dr. H. Campbell. The
ASSOCIATION WILL ATTEND THE INAUGURA
TION OF GENERAL GORDON
as governor of Georgia in a body. To
night ex-President Hays was dined by
Hon. Henry W. Hilliard, ex-minister ti
Brazil.
NIGHT SESSION.
The night session was very largely at
tended. The first papei was by Dr. John
Morris, of Baltimore, on “Prison Physi
cians, their duties and influence,” The
subject was discussed by Powell, of the
Georgia avrlum for the insane; Dr. Bylos,
of Ohio, and others. An address on prison
reform Was delivered by Alfred H. Love,
vice-pfesident of the Pennsylvania Prison
Society.

Strikers Become Riotous, and the Militia
Ordered Out.

Chicago, November 8.—-The members
of the first and socond regiments, Inter
national Guard, assembled at their ar
mory this morning at 7 o’clock in obe
dience to the order from Gov. Oglesby,
transmitted through Gen. Fitzsimmons,
commander of the first brigade. Perfect
quiet reigned in the yards this morning,
the tracks in the vicinity ol the packing
houses being patroled by deputy sheriffs,
who kept the small crowds which congre
gated on the corners moving on. Around
the outskirts of the yards the scene wns
different. Gangs of strikers stand at the
entrances, and the men with their dinner
pails in their hands were deprived of their
pails, and in a number of instances
severely thrashed. There seems to
be u determined effort on the
part of the strikers to prevent
any new men from applying lor tbe posi
tions, which the former had left. On tbe
other hand the employers seemed deter
mined not tore-engage any of the strikers.
Captain Mackey of the town of Lake
police assured men who applied every
minute at the town hall that they would
be protected. To-day marks the com
mencement of the greatest strike ever in
augurated in a packing town. At 7:30 o’clock
this morning there were nearly 12,000 less
men at work than at tbe same time a
week ago and the men that did not report
for duty were almost without exception
those that have been imported by the beef
packers to take the places of the 3000 men
who struck last week. So far the status
of the strike is somewhat indefinite,
the only thing absolutely cer
tain being Uiat tbe men who
were ordered; p out Saturday unan
imously obeyed the order and left their
work just in the condition which it was
when the committee appeared among
them and read to them the instructions of
the committee of the butchers’ assembly
of the Knights of Labor. At that time the
same lot of men, notably those in Armour
A Co.’s house,seemed to doubt the authen
ticity of the order, and seemed disposed to
refuse to obey it. but the appearance of
several well known committeemen
absolved all doubts on the subject, and left
t.h- doubters no alternative but to obey or
renounce their allegiance to the Knights
of Labor. Many of the men seemed dis
satisfied at being called out. Some openly
expressed their sentiments on the subject,
but the great majority accepted the situa
tion and went home without murmur.
At 10 o’clock this morning the first and
second regiments march from their armory
to Lake Sliore station, and from there will
at once be transported'to the stockyards.
There has been no serious disturbance at
the yards yet, but assaults on non-union
men arc growing more frequent. As the
morning progressed the crowds surround
ing the entrances to the yards increased,
tlie strikers became more desperate and
the deputy sheriffs found greater difficulty
iu dispersing them. Armour A Co. have
about 160 of their old men who refused
to strike at work killing hogs, but this was
the only hog house in the yards running.
Knight of Labor Burry said he had not as
yet been able to get all the faots in regard
to the strike, and did not know what ac
tion he would take. He proposed, how
ever, to have a talk- with the packers during
the day and hoped to soon bring about
an aniidabie settlement of the troubles.
About 9 o’clock the crowd at the yards
grew more turbulent, and assaults on non
union men became more frequent. One
man who was on his way to Fowler’s pack
ing house was intercepted while walking
over the viaduct which leads to the house.
Three or four men picked him un and
I threw him over on to the ground below, a
! distance of over thirty feet. He was very
j badly injured.
A special dispatch from Springfield, Iil.,
! referring to the ordering out. of the sta o
j troops at Chicago, says: “Gov. Oglesby
says he does not care to talk about tho
! strike or the action he has taken in order
ing out the militia. lie appears to be fully
aware ol the gravity of the situation, and
there is no doubt he will act promptly and
effectually to preserve the peace and pro
tect, liie and property. A gentleman pres
ent at an interview with Sheriff Har.chett
says the sheriff represented to the gover
nor that there were 111,000 men on a strike
at the Chicago stock yards, and he was
utterly powerless to cope with so large a
body of strikers with the force at his com
mand. He considered it of the utmost im
portance that the militia should be ordered
out at once, and made a demand on the
governor for assistance. The governor is
sued an order tor the assembling of two
regiments, and
NO BLANK CARTRIDGES WILL BE USED.
Sheriff Hanchett and Senator Campbell
both declined to talk about tbe situation.
Assistant Adjutant-General Ewart says
Sheriff Hanchett. informed the governor
that it would do no good to swear in spe
cial deputies in citizens’ clothes, as they
had no effect' As against strikers, he was
satisfied no other course but to order out
the militia would be effective, and asked
for four regiments; but the governor
thought he would start wit two. The
militia, numbering about 700 men, ar
rived at the stock yards without
inc:dent. They left the ears at Third
street, marched through the yards and
are now quartered at Ferguson’s packing
houses. Crowds cheered them faintly on
tin irarrival, but yelled and jeered at the .
Pir.ktrloa men uii their rounds. Pat Col
lins and Mike Sullivan were brought to the
armory poll._-<• station during the morning
and charged with assault. They were ar
rested by Officers McUrnw and Flannigan,
of the Thirty-fifth station, at about 7
o’clock. Henry Sharp and William Oak
ley passed Fifth mid Laurel streets
on their way to work at
Armour’s. A crowd of over 200 strikes, of
whom are allcdged to be Collins and Sul
livan, attacked the two workingmen.
Oakley was almost killed, his assailants
jumping on him and kicking him in a fright
ful manner. But for the arrival .A officers
Flannigan and McOruw, who drove the
crowd back at the point of their revolvers.
THE TWO MEN WOULD PROBABLY HAVE
BEEN KILLED.
Other arrests for similar offences were
made later in the day. These men were
taken before u justice and fined from $50 to
$100 each.
THE BALL OPENS IN EARNEST.
A serious riot took place this afternoon
at the corner of Thirty-ninth and llalslead
streets. A mob of 3009 strikers attacked a j
number of now men who were going to
work at the packing houses. The police,
who attacked the moh, were in turn at
tacked and'driven back. Several men are
said to have been seriously injured. The |
militia was sent to tbe scene, hut the mob
had dispersed before they arrived. There
is intense excitement at the stock yards
over tho outbreak, and bloody scenes arc-
looked for to-night.
BLUE DAYS AHEAD.
The committee which issued the order
j to strike was by no means u unit on tbe j
I subject, as the position of packers’ reports •
j differ. Hwift & Co. and Nelson Morris
1 have a number of imnorted men in their
j houses, and have made provision to feed
and lodge them. Early this morning a
i number of men arrived from- Boston and
i were taken to Swift's house, where there
I arc now about 600 new men. Nelson Mor-
| ri.t has about -1(H), and expects to have num-
I her more to-day. Swift A Co. have adver
tised In the Chicago papers for more men,
and lmve also inserted notices to the same
offect in eastern papers, and those of Mil
waukee, St„ Bolds aud Kansas City. On
the other hand Michael Cudahy, who is
manager of Armour & Co.’s house, said to
J. C. Flately:
“WELL, I’M READY TO SHUT DOWN FOR
THIRTY OR SIXTY DAYS
and give these fellows what they want.”
“8o am I,” suid Hately, and as the two
head men of the packers committee
separated eaeh to go to his own house,
one of t lie smaller packers said that evey-
thiug indicated that the pork houses would
shut down for an indefinite period, while
the beef houses would be run with import
ed me. The butchers have inserted notices
in the papers of all t he large cities warn
ing all working men to keep away from
the stock yards,
A RESOLUTION AND A PROCLAMATION,
Tho packers have declared war upon all
labor organizations, and this afternoon
signed a resolution declaring that here
after none of them would employ uuv man
connected with any labor organization.
The following is the resolution, wnlch was
signed by every packer at the stock yards:
“Whereas, it is evident that- many men
are willing to work, but are prevented by
the action of labor organizations; and,
whereas, packers are brought face to face
witii the fact that their men are absolutely
controlled by such organizations ; there
fore be it
“Resolved, That we will not employ any
man who is a member of said labor organi
zations.”
The following proclamation was issued
this afternoon oyJBheriff Houchett: “Chi
cago, Nov. 8—Notice to the public: On
and after Nov. 9, und until farther notice,
the entrance to Packing Town will be
open for the admission of all men who de
sire to go to work, and lor all persons who
desire to do business with tbe packing
houses or in the stock yards. No other
persons will tie admitted. Protection will
be furnished for all men who desire to go
to work.
[Signed] HoucnETT, Sheriff.”
TUE STRIKERS GROW QUIET.
At 8:30 this evening an Associated Press
reporter arrived direct from Packing
Town and the headquarters of tile First
and Second regiments. At 7:30 all was per
fectly quiet in the vicinity of the stock
yards No disturbance had occurred during
the day and there were no grounds for
fears of any during the night. The neigh
borhood is now deserted save for the regi
ments stationed there, and sheriffs, deputies
and Pinkerton men, who have been on
guard duty since the trouble i ommenced.
Late this afternoon, about tbe time tho
packing houses were closing for the night,
the First infantry patrolled the yards aud
approaches to the packing district, while
the Second regiment marched up Root
street to the intersection of Halstead
street. In this wny the entire field was
covered, but not the slightest indi
cations of mob violence or the
molestation of nonunion men were
met with. The strikers express satisfac
tion at the arrival of the militia, whose
presence they clain to prefer to that of
the Pinkerton men. To night the strikers
issued a circular warning men to keep
away from the packing houses and urging
Upon their Inembers the necessity of boycot
ting liquor if they hoped to win their light.
The resolutions before mentioned of tho
lackers’ Association were adopted with
out a dissenting voice. Ouly those strikers
will be taken back to work who will sigh
an agreement to renounce all connection
with the Knights of Labor ami similar or
ganizations. The meeting also determined
to provide board and protec lion lor the
new men. A committee was appointed
whose special business it is to promptly
procure all assistance, boarding quarters
and accommodations necessary.
Alliuny AflTeeted by the Strike.
Albany, N. Y., November 8.—There is
an improvement in tiie live stock business
of t he east. Receipts at west Albany during
October were the largest of the year, num
bering 3694 carloads. Old time buyers are
again seen about tbe stock yards, and new
life seems to move on an interest that a
year ago was on a decline. Thu total re
ceipts of cars far the months of August,
September and October of last year were
7720 against 9451 for the corresponding
months this year. A large | art or this in
crease is of cattle. The demand for the
same as dressed beef is becoming larger
constantly A fresh complication has
arisen which will call for action by
the Knights of Labor. It relates
to the slaughtering ot cattle for
dressed beef depots, and is an outgrowth
of the great Chicago strike. Saturday and
yesterday, forty carloads of live cattle were
received at West Albany from Chicago,
billed to this city, Troy and other points
in New England. The agents of dressed
beef firms have instituted a search and
after some little trouble found that only
one butcher would kill stock for thorn. It
is thought if the strike iu Chicago, which
lias caused the forwarding of cattle on the
hoot by these firms continues, they
will have difficulty in finding accommoda
tions in the east for the killing of their
stock. The Knights of Labor are bound to
support their striking brethren in Chicago,
and will not kill any cattle fordealers, and
they will also hruig tiioir influence to bear
to prevent others from slaughtering for
them. Live stock dealers will also use
their best endeavors to prevent eastern
butchers from accommodating their busi
ness adversaries.

Carlisle avid tho Speakership.
Washington, November 8.—The New
York Hun of to-day prints the following:
An intimate personal friend of Speaker
Carlisle, who returned from Kentucky to
day, says:
“When tho early returns from Carlisle’s
district foreshadowed that gentleman’s de
feat, the only regret that he expressed was
that the democratic majority in the fiftieth
congress should be reduced by the election
of a republican. Mr. Carlisle further said
that the loss of the speakership, if it should
prove tho desire of Ilia party to again con
fer the nomination upon him, was a mat
ter of secondary importance. Mr. Carlisle
and I talked for some time upon that sub
ject, and I do not believe I violate
his confidence when I say that he does
not desire a third election as speaker.
His desire, in short, is that some other of
his colleagues should receive this honor.
Another consideration, as Carlisle outlined
it to me, is the fact that the fiftieth con
gress will immediately precede the presi
dential election. It will be a congress of
unusual responsibility and interest. Car
lisle believes that the door of the house
presents a field wherein he can better dis
tinguish himself und render his party a
greater service than he can iu the speaker’s
chair.
“Will Mr. Carlisle make a formal decla
ration of these views?” was asked.
“It would be an impertinence in him to
decline iu advance an honor as yet not
tendered him,” was the reply, “but 1 have
no doubt ho will fully acquaint the leaders
of bis party with his intentions upon his
return to Washington the hist of the
month.”
Possibly a Ale ni '.lie Senate.
Washington, November 8.—The belief
that, the legialat ure of California is demo
cratic and will probably elect Senator
Hearst, will make the next senate stand:
Republicans, thirty-nine; democrats, thir
ty-seven. This calculation includes a dem
ocrat to succeed Ben Harrison, from In
diana, which iH now assured. The repub

ids fitting phrase. Thrice welcome
to them all: and it is fitting
first to tliosc from abroad,
representatives of illustrious universities,
Unit were old iu fulnuss and fame when
ours was in its cradle; and next to oar own
land, from colleges and universities which,
if not daughters of Harvard, are young

heart and hopa. I said I should single out
none by names, but I should not represent
you fitly if I gave no special welcome to

kindred. There is also one other name
which it. would he indecorus not to make
an exception of. You all know that, I can
menu only tho president of our country.
His presence is a signal honor to us all,
and to us all, 1 may say, a personal grati
fication. We Have no politics here,
but the sons of Harvard all
belong to the party which admires oour-
age, strength of purpose and fidelity to
duty, and which respects wherever he may
ho found, “justum et tacentum propositi
virum,” who knows to withstand “ civium
ardor prava jubrentium.” He has loft the
helm of state to be with us here, and so
long as it is entrusted to his hands we are
sure that should storm come ho will say
Avith Seneca’s pilot on Neptune, “yemn”

you will, but whatever happens I shall
keep my rudder true.”
