The plan of the executive board of the union Is to endeavor to bring about the Indictment » l ii e seneva ' toanagers for conspiracy, thetformer being equally responsible fr.r the obstruction of the mails, on the ground that, the general managers met anu organized for the purpose of de feating the strikers before the boycott and strike was declared. Mr. Erwin was to have given a decision this after noon but afterward notified the board that he would not be uble to give a definite opinion before tomorrow. It is possible that when President Debs is actually on trial that'^ol. Rob ert G. Ingersoll will be the principal counsel. When asked today os to whether the famous lawyer would be retained Mr. Debs gave an evasive ariswer. The union officials placed great weight tbday on the meeting of the Federation of Libor. The first move unfriendly to the ^trik£ was the refusal to admit Grand Master Workman Sovereign to the meeting. President Debs and the union leaders have been greatly wor- ri«l all day about the action of the federation and as per agreement ad journed their meeting early In order *to re at the call of the 'ederated orders. Th^ call did not come in time And Vice t ■ iV curne in emir ..wm » ice President Howard was \sent to the Briggs house to ascertain the difficulty. Mr. Howard returned -with an uncertain report and the matter is yet In doubt. A meeting was .finally arranged for 8 o c.oc*k tonight.

THEY TOOK NO ACTION. Chicago, July 12.—»An all night ses sion \ of the executive board of the American eFderatiojv of Labor was held Jonlght at the Briggs house to consider the question or adding th® strength of the federation to the Pull man boycott by ordering a sympathetic strike of all the members of the fed eration. President Gompers invited President Debs and Vico President Howard of the American Railway Union to the meeting to confer and ask their counsel in regard to the strike situation. The executive officers of both unions remained In secret session until long after midnight and then no agreement had been reached as to the mainqu estlon of ordering a strike. In fact there Is a division among the members of tbe executive board of fed eration in regard to 'the question, and It is not likely to be settled until to morrow, even if settled then. Tho failure of the 'American Federation of Libor 'to give its support to the. rail road strike of the American Railway Union would, in the opinion of tho lead ers. work greatly to the detriment of the Pullman boycott and seriously af fect the situation In so fr as.lt relates to the strikes on the roads. f LIFTED AT KANBAg CITY. Kansas City, July 12.—Passenger service on the Kansas City is fully iv- arored today, wth tb.- exception of ili<- tost night train to and from Memphis on the Kansas City, Fort Soott and Memphis railway; the night train to and from Denver on the Union Pacific railway and the 4 o’clock afternoon local train to Chicago, and tho 9:25 local morning train from Chicago on the Rock Island railway. Trains are running on time as usual and nofl of the effects of the strike remain, so »r os removing the trains lsc oncemed, for traffic has been generally resumed on all lines. The Rock Island has re instated the employes laid off and all officers were ready for business as usual. NEW ORLEANS ALL RIGHT. New Orleans, July 12.—The striking switchmen and firemen on the North eastern railroad have beta replaced and all trains are movmg without In terruption. The yardmen at Meridian have also been replaced by men brought from Cincinnati. None of the Btrlkers will be taken back. There are two dozen loc&motive engineers here who were ready to takq sluations If the engineers had gone out, but s f.ir they have nothing to do. All trains are moving on 'time. MUST LEAVE THE UNION. Louisville, Ky., July 12.—Division Su perintendent Pike of the Louisville and Nashville railroad has Issued an order requiring all members of the American Railway Union in the employ <>( the road to withdraw from the. No man known to be a member will be per mitted to go out with a train without showing a o-rtitlcate of withdrawal from tbe organization. Applications for reinstatement by strikers have been re fused and tho men w*.*n* informed that their places had been filled. PEACEFUL AT BUFFALO. Buffalo, N. Y., July 12.—There, is less likelihood of a strike hero this morning than at any time since the Pullman trouble began. The railroad men, out side of the American Rail way Union, look upon thr strike in -!iu West as practically broken. Trains are now running on schedule time on all roads.

Fifth Ave nue hotel,'oA 3hhd"-}2, the committee on permanent .organization then appoint ed -met at 11:20 o'clock this morning in the committee room of the Mutual Life Insurance Company. The meeting was held behind closed -doors. Seventeen or '«Mjf 1 'tJjjjhUfaMht members were presepi.’.it ( ivaa decided to postpone the roll call in the hope that others would arrive. The sole business of the day was the reading <>y Secretary^ George Sullivan of plans and suggestions in furtherance of the «tms of":the commit tee from buisness mm throughout the country. The conuhunicatlons were chlelly typewritten and formed t goodly stook of manscrlpts on Mr. Sul livan’s desk. In all the number was about 200, but despite their number and volume they were listened to with in terest by those’ present, many of the ideas set forth by their author being received with favorable and manifest comment. The suggestions varied In length from a paragraph to thirty pages of typewritten matter. One of the earliest read was from Stuyvesant Fish, president efc tho Illi nois Central Railroad Company, who, though a member of the committee, was kopt In Chicago because of the strike there. Ur. Fish, as well as sev eral others presented a strong paper suggesting tbe idea of raising a large fund for the development of Southern industries, though he mentioned definite amount. Shortly after noon a long telegram was received from the Young Men’s Business Club of Augusta, Ga., In w-hloh that organization offers its sup port to whatever conclusions the com mittee might reach. Clinton Furbish, director of the bu reau of American republics of Wash ington, was present upon invitation and will possibly be added to tbe list committee. Hamilton DIsston of Phila delphia, though unable to attend the nieutlng, sent as’his representative J. II. /Kreanler, general manager of the Florida Improvement Company, under Mr. Dlsston’s name. Among -the others present were Charles A. Deshon, president of the Southern Society, and James W. Bwan of Innun, Swan and Co. Capt. Gordon said: “The suggestions in general may be classified under two heads. The one proposes a business corporation with capital stock, and with the profits to accrue to holders from the encourage ment of Investments and the Increas ing population of the South. The sec ond plan proposes * co-operative or ganization, but with no profits to Ita members, Its atm being to advanceAhe interest of all worthy of Indorsement and to bring about closer personal re lations nnd thorough, earnest oo-opera- tlon between the people of this country In every walk of life. To this purpose Ita funds would be devoted. "We have been advised that Die South ts preparing to meet us In a substantial manner, so far aa the rais ing of money is ooncerned. The atti tude of -the North toward the South in the matter is simply to aay what programme you want and will stand ready to carry It out at onco. It seemed evident that tne-majorlty of the com mittee favored the co-operative plan, which eliminated the matter of indi vidual proilt, and It was predloted that half a million dollars would be raised without delay for Its prosecution." The committee took a recess for an hour at 1:50 p. m. Just prior to that, however, Mr. FurbiBh was received by acclamation into membership, as was also Col. Wain Wilson, the publisher, of No. 23 Park Row, Ne^wYork; Will iam O. Maxwell of the law firm of Chandler,. Maxwell & Phillips, and Johnathan A. Lane, president of tho Boston 'Merchants’ Association, one of the most powerful commercial or- gahtzei-s in the United State*. It was also announced that the name of Wal ter Stanton of the dry goods firm of Converse. Stanton & Cullom. had been omitted In the published list of the committee. None of the Northerners represent Southern states in the com mittee deliberation*, hut are practically commltteemen-at-large. The afternoon was passed in discussing the plans pro posed. Among those present in addition to the committee men mentioned were: R. H. Edmond, editor of the Manufac turers’ Record of BalUmore; F. M. Jarvis of -he Continental Jarvis Trust Company of Now York: John Skelton Williams, hanker, of Richmond, Va„ am! Bcrld Smith, J. O. Alexander, C. Haakell and R. H. Courtney, repre senting resectlvely the district of Co lumbia, South Carolina and Kentucky. ShofUy af>r 5 o'clock this meeting » lj -urn ■ I till 'll -i in- t -m irroiv, l-V:- day. In the meantime Chairman Gor don with others of the committee will confer together and they will endeavor to report tomorrow morning on a con stitution and by-laws, arranged to rep resent the spirit most favored at the discussion at the afternoon meeting. It is thought tbe organization, aa finally formed, will be after the co-operative plan, so extensively suggested, and that its affairs will be administered by a board of trustees that will serve without compensation. j-&4 RIVALS IN A DEADLY DUEL. liinnlmrlKiui. July 12.—James Shears nnd Howard Rainwater, need 17 and 19 years nupectlvdy. fought a duel In the woods near liberty early this morning.

Henry George Denounced Cleveland, Whoso Name Was Roundly Hissed. New York. July 12,-The labor demon stration at Cooper Union tonight was one of tho most extraordinary outpour ings of people ever seen in this jity. The meeting was called to express sym pathy with the strikers In Chicago and elsewhere In .he u-.u, , . . ” ” elsewhere In the West, and as an ex pression of sympathy It was a decided success. The area in front of the hall was filled after tho hall could coriliiln CO more. It was a meeting which ex ploded it* convictions IV the loudest ways—hissing and hooting the name of President Cleveland so vehemently that Henry George, who was speaking, had to cry ’’What's the use?" Daniel Harris, who presided. In a brief speech Introduced Air. George, who proved the star speaker of the evening, lie was more than usually ve hement In denunciation of the use of federal troops to put down the strikers. In the stand they took, he said, Gover nor Altgcld and Governo* Waite were right, and the actlhn of the president in Bending out troops Was an arrogant assumption of authority. He would rather see nil the rullrua'J •pi*oj>erty of the country- burned, all nillt-oails torn up than have them preserved by force of arms. The railroads had made lln-Ir money hy debauchery nnd robSirn by th’’ I- ir- bases of Judges and l.gl.iiL-i-s. and now they wanted to preserve them hy the bayonets and arms of federal troops, and for that purpose the rights of states wero being encroached upon by the federil authorities. Then Mr. George entered Into n lengthy condem nation bf President Cleveland who. he said, from the first had taken tho psrt of the capitalists Ogtlrikt the atrlkern. Every mention of the president’s name was greeted wilh a storm of biases. Mr. George further condemned the president for ids appointment of federal officers In fhe West. "What are 1'JU going to do about It?” he a-ked. ■ ’’Impeaih him.” shouted a voice. 'Hang him." yelled another. Nearly everybody »veined td hive a rem“dy ' I' ..vow I. ...

Trade* unions bad tried their weapon, the strike, end It was * failure. Then getting to a word in favor of hi* pet theory, Mr. George said that the key Sacramento, July 12.-Officers have found the concealed tools with which the rails were loosened from the tracks of the Southern Pacific railroad. near Washington, Yoleo county, oausing the wrecking last evening of a train from this city for San Francisco and tho kililng-of the engineer and three pri vates of the regular army. The officers know the persons to whom the tools belong, The locomotive lay this morning on its back in 'the elough, by the side of the fide of the broken bridge, with three cars of the train. Under tho wreck In stagnant water are the bodies of the engineer who held) Liter throttle and the three privates. Of the four men wno were Injured one, Wesley Dugan,.a private in Bar tcry.

One soldier crawled out of the water from beneath tho sub merged tender unhurt. Engineer Clark evidently atayed at bis post to tho lost. The two men arrested near the acene of tho disaster are named H. E. Bod mer and William Burt. Both are prom inent employment members of the American Railway Union. An cnglneot who was on tbe train saw these ment Just before the train left the track and pointed them out to the marshals. Both wero heavily armed. Tow other men were arrested la the city last night. Ono was A. W- Greenlaw, machinist, -who was oonsplcuous In the recent violence of the strikers towards Alarohal Baldwin and his men. Tho fourth wTs A. P.

He la charged with murder In addition -to the obstruction of the malls, and conspiracy that was entered against the others. All four prisoners were taken to tho county Jail. Justice Norvln fixed the hall of Bodmer, Burt and Greenlaw at $2,000 each. Warden, however, was not admitted to bail. The.state jvlll prob ably charge him with train wrecking, whloh la punishable by death. In the search for arms thirty-seven rides were -found at the strikers’ head quarters und large quantities of am munition. Some shotguns, sabres and seven sacks containing as -many hun dred pounds of slugs, each an Inch long and half an inoh in diameter, They are supposed to Irnvo been In tended for use as canister shot In a cannon. A bakery known as a hotbed of -Anarchy was searched and several revolvers were picked up around the floors, h-avliig apparently been discard ed by -the owners for fear ef personal search. Them la a small dynamite scare in town. Previous to tho arrival of tho regular* the strikers threatened blow up the depot building with dyna mite, and search Js being m-ado for It. There waa some -talk of putting the city under martial law at 10 o’clock* but It waa not done, and this morning District' Attorney Knott said it would not be unless the strikers continued to oppose the government and commit acts of violence.
