The posting of the unndutKomeot

that people be not prejudiced against them

written to serve thelntoreswof the packers.
The workingmen have taken their stand
only after ovory offer of a fair
and honest settlement of their
differences has bean refused ho their mu.

by the packers, and it is simply
a question of the packers keeping their
agreements. They are on trial and not the
workingmen. Tho aotlon of tho cotters in
returning 'to their work and carefully
clearing np and completing the work in

chows both a spirit ot farm cm

IMPORTANT land decision
Concerning Several Million Dollars of Trep

W«mmaTON, October An important
land ofRce decision has been made by Com
missioner Sparks, involving the title to
certain valuable lauds isi the vicinity uf
New Orleans, covered in part by the town
ofCarroUton, and upon other parts by
buildings and improvements of great value,
inolndiog the race coarse, M-.Uitrio Fridge
Cemetery and shell road, and railroad from
New 'Orleans to Lake Poutchar-
trsin. This property has been
olaimed and possessed trace tbe middle of
the last century under a French grant
which had been surveyed and segregated
from tho public domain. Advene claim
ants asserted title, by virtue of certain
swamps and other selections, an-
der grants to tbe State of -Lon-
10. Commissioner Sparks holds
that the French grant is a complete title
protected by the treaty of JIMXi, and not
needing legislative or olhcrconAcuatios by
the United States, and that the lands being
private property at the date of the State
grants did not pass under those grants. The
amount involved in this decision reaches
several million dollars.

Stockyards report the eituation nncbmgcd
there thre morning and no disturb in'" of
any kind has occurred. Armour A Co.
up the report that their beef-killen also
joined tbe strikers is a mistake; tha part
ot their establishment to tanning ssusntl,
the strike being confined to tbe hog-iUlera.
In an interview tbe aobject of thestrike
published this morning, Mr. Y. D. Amour
■aid:
The matter of retonilna to the ten hour qritem
rests entirely on the question of self prosctlou.
Chtcsao packers are unable to compete wlh Cla-
clanall or Kansas City people on the basts of I hours
oblstlp on sooount of the lessened cost of opnatlng
at those points. Chlcafo peeking house propirt j bee
gresttr dspiMlitedin rains ct late, and, 'or tap

ju- property for CO per cent, lees then rest. I
hart expended S300.000 on my Ksnsse CM; lack
ing bouses this season. I wonld idadly hare my
men work eight bon re, If I could do to In josttca to
myself: but under the ctrenmetancea thu ,1s not
possible,-and ulf-prolrctkm. of comer, mist be
primarily regarded by the lockers. I work ftarteen
hours myself every dsy, ted ten bourn dally tell la
certainly not a great hardship for my smpl" see, I
do not entldpate clasts g down work entirely, al
though for a law da) a we may not operate at full
rapacity. Them are plenty of men who are wiling
to work ten hours each day, and take tha place of
the striker* If ibey ere assured ot protection, and
this will poelttrely be offered them to the fslleat
extent. 1 trust the old bends, however, will ll'ei
proper view of the situation, and reconsider their
action, which la certainly Ul-advlaed.
Over ons hundred and fifty Pinkerton
men were lodged and breakfasted at the
Transit House last night, and at 7 o'clock
this morning emerged from the droit)g
room, and shouldered their Winchester
riUea, which were stacked inoornera around
tha lobby. Captain Foley called the men
to attention, and they were marched off
through the yards. At each packing bourne
a squad of men left the line, and in charge
of a sergeant, filed throngb the
jaqfia, and were etotioned at various cor*
ners, where they could command a view of
the entire premises. They were watohed
with interest and hatred by tbe men in
working clothes, and by hundred* oilmen
without pails, and attired in their Sunday
clothes who by this time hed assembled in
force in tbe yards, and observed the pro
ceedings at the various packing bouses.
Thto morning it was rumored throughout
tha yards thrt the packers had appointed a
committee to adjust the difficulties with
the men. It was asserted that the psckeri
had been making money under Jbe new
sobeduls of wage*, and were satisfied with
it, bnt could not afford to allow the ma
chinery remain idle for two hour*. .Tho
terms to be offered, the men claimed, waa
to advance the wages for ten hoars
work to the same rates poM during the
last five months for eight hours. Tbit, it
was said by some of the men, wonld be
satisfactory, but others said that nothing
bnt eight honra' work would be accepted.
A majority of the men were non-committal
on tbe subject, and referred all question*
to the leaden.
Tbe aitaation from a business point of
view, to a gloomy one. The market to very
doll, there being no demand for fat
hogs for packing. There to, however,
some little demand for light hogs
for the Eastern market. Buyers are sitting
around the office waiting for price* to go
down. Commission men advised their
customers not to ship any more cattle, and
telegrams of inquiry ss to tbe condition of
things are bciog received all the time. The
commission men are gloomy.
Armour's employes continued to work to
day, deciding to remain on duty until tbe
ten-honr role to absolutely entered into
effect
When the force of armed Pinkerton men
entered the building thto morning tbe men
all oeaaed work and informed the foreman
that they wonld not work while this armed
force was prefect. Aa a result the Pinker
ton men were sent away, and the men
returned and pnt everything in ibape before
leaving for the day.
Notice was issued by the assembly of
k nights of Labor of wbleh nearly all of ths
atrikera are members, asking the saloon
keepers in ths town of Laka to close their
plaoes of business during tho strike, and
the men have been cautioned not to
violenoe in any form.
