The American Railway officers con
sider this to be op tactical admission
of the truth of the charges made
against him. Director Rogers«ald (he
reply placed Chief Arthur in the light
of an enemy <0 organised labor ami
the tool of railroad corporations, hav
ing confessed the truth of the implied
allegations contained In Mr. Dob's
tlegram.
There waa no elan of weakness In
the talk of the strike leaders tonight,
although Debs shut hlmasif up In hla
room in tha Rovers house early in the
evening with some Affloers and refuted
to say a word tor publication.
CHIEF ARTHUR DENOUNCED.
Chicago, July 14.—After the morning
meeting of the executive board of the
railroad union President Debs and
Vice President Howard addressed
large body of strikers at UMrich'_
ball. There a unatmous expression of
confidence In the governing board, and
every striker shouted his desire to con
tinue the strike. The announcement
was nude that 100 of rhe Brotherhood
of Carmen bad Joined she strike at
Little Rock. Ark., and that there would
be a general strike of tne members rt
that organisation and of the Brother-
liood of Trackmen by the first of the
week. Debs denounced certain federal
Judges as “ermined scoundrels, a dis
grace to Vile Judiciary, doing ebso
lutely the bidding of the corporations.'
At another moss meeting of railroad
strikers tonight Chief Arthur of the
Brotherhood of Loot motive Engineers
was called by one of the speakers a
“traitor and a humbug,” and a storm
of applause greeted the accusation. Tnt
American Railway Union officers said
tonight that an order for a strike on
the Great Northern had been issued
und that all the union employee would
go out tomirrow because the company
permuted In handling freight from the
Chicago, Northwestern and St. Paul
rosd. The threatened strike on the
Northwestern and St. Paul system had
not materialised up to a late hour to
night, so far as Chicago is concerned.

GETTING STRAIGHTENED OUT.
Chicago, July 14.—Railroad officials
devoted their attention almost exclu
sively today In getting their traffic de
partments back into the old lines of
doing business. Tne Rock Island,
which had dispensed with the entire
forces in its general offices during the
strike, notified Its men today to re
port for duty Monday morning. The
Milwaukee and .St. Paul, which led the
way to a general suspension of office
business, will put all its men back to
work on Tuesday. All the other roads
will resume their usual routine after
this. This was pay day on the Rock
Island, and the office of the paymaster

street building was besieged by an
eager crowd. The Chicago and North
western paid oft Its men. Its pay car
stood in the yard Just west of the
ells street depot. A company of
regulars was posted close by, so that
hall any attempt been made to raid the
car tt could easily have been frus
trated. The managers h-ave laid down
for themselves a policy on the strictest
possible economy, so as to offset to the
greatest extent possible the losses of
tlte strike. They expect that several
weeks will elapse before traffic will re
sume Its usual volume. The work of
Ignlng the men to the positions
they left will for many of them be a
slow process.
The strikers at Pullman will stand
firm, notwithstanding the poeltlon of
the American Hallway Union and the
Managers - Association, and they ex
pect to win, despite the defeat of the
present strike, believing thwt the pub
lic la still with them In their fight
against the Pullman Palace Oar Com-
P Sara Meyers, secretary of the Pull
man grievance committee, said today:
"We are not dlaooncerted in the least,
although we expected to win our strike
with the railroad men’s help in tying
up the roads. However, our men have
every confidence In President Debs and
the American Railway Union and be
lieve we will yet win ‘the atrike, and
that our cause has not been injured
the least. The situation will now
probably stand as lit did before the
rallrond men name to our assistance.”
The transit department of the stock
yards resumed business this morning
with practically a full force of men.
Thlrty-severi non-union switchmen
marched Into the yards at 7 o'clock
and the work of clearing the tracks
was begun In earnest. The work is
being done under the protection or 100
poltoemen and a military guard. Tljo
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
brought In 221 cars of live Stock and
the Rock Island fifteen cars and tho
other roads almost their full quota.
Two hundred oara of live stock were
also sent eastward.

ers In ihelT boycott on Btudebnker's

Washington, July 14.—Tho plan slow
ly and laboriously formed by a joint
committee of the house for a reorgani
zation of the executive depart meats of
the government, and which was In
oorporated In the legislative, executive
and judicial approprlaafou bill, was
the only portion of t-lut measure which
provoked any debate today. A motion
to strike out thewe provisions was made
by Mr. Sherman und advocated In u
speich In which the proposed Change
was detdred ns an entire revolution of
the ttniineinl system of tWe govern
ment. Mr. Sherman's tamiUnrlty with
the routine of the business of the treas
ury might have been supposed to give
grout weight and authority to
judgment, but his opposition to the
01 tuugc had really uo effect nt nil, tar
there were only four vntni, including
his own, given to the motum to strike
out the ituttifirnplis, while there were
forty votes ugataHt It. The hill wont
through the committee of the whole
iuto the scnti’ic, but them wire ■
utuny umeJulniviMs on rather trilling
matters offered by individual senators
that -the bill did not reach its final pas
sage.
A newspaper gt-memontt recently
naule repiaucnting the Populist sena
tor from Nebraska (Allen) as making
tin unseemly exhibition of himself in
the Malby -building, whore many sen
ators have rooms for the convenience
of tihauseives und tlieir clerks, was
denounced by Mr. Allen today it* ab
solutely false and without a shadow
of foundation. It hud been given cur
rency to, he raid, by “un assassin of
ehsuiaoKr;" “a human ghoul," one
who, “like the stranglers of India,
croudhwi In the grass by the pathway,
threw the deadly rope around hi* vic
tim's neck and choked out his life.’ 1
But while he hrtvped all those and
other epithets on tbe offending news
paper man, Mr. Alien asserted, with
uu ttttorupt of OhriRtitaa forbearance
and charity which atVso passed lieiief,
that he “would not speak unkindly of
the man,” and that he ■■‘entertained for
him no unkind feeling nlbaitever.'
The senate adjourned ait 4:15 p. m.
after the point of no quorum had been
reached on tho amendment to the leg
Islatlve appropriation bill.

volved latgefy on the part of the sena
tors in persuading the representatives
to consent lb die retention of the 1-8 of
a cent differential on refined sugar, in
quiries have oIbo been sent by the con
ferees ss to how much less than 40 per
cent, ad valorem will satisfy the sugar
producers. The Louisiana mentaers of
congresa say nothing whatever can be
yielded from the 40 per cent, rata and
their response to ihe conference was to
that effect.
While kt Is true that during the week
almost every schedule In tho bill has
been under consideration K la also true
tha/t as yet few If any notes have been
flxed other than tentatively, and When
mem/bera of the conference say that
nothing has been absohitely agreed bn
they are technically within the bounds
of troth. It appears from the best in
formation obtainable that a great part
of rhe time has been given to a repre
sentation of the house conferees by the
senate members of the necessity of
miking the most liberal concessions pos
sible In the Interest of the final passage
of the bill through the senate.
THE QUESTION OF SUGAR TARIFF
New York. July li.—It was learned
on good authority that Secretary Car
lisle. while not flnlly disposing of the
Important question rais'd, Informed a
New York Arm of sugar Importers
that any reciprocal arrangement In
force between the United States and
other countries would not be construed
us obstructing in Any way tho collec
tion of duties upon sugar under the
pending Wilson tariff bill, whether
coming from such countries nr other
countries. Under reclproctil arrange
ments or agreements, which some
hold have the force of reclproctil tr.*a
ties, certain countries, principally the
republlces of South America, agreed to
allow tt*' admission duty free Into
their borders of agricultural Imple
ment! and machinery In return tar tile
free entry Into the United States of
certain of their product!, the principal
among which was sugar. Provisions
carrying out this reciprocal idea were
Incorporated Into the McKinley tariff
bill, and tills statement of the secre

that a report may be expected during

to say when a conclusion will be readied
by the Democratic confers*** without
taking Into consideration the possibility
of delay after the Republican members
of the conference ire Invited to partict-
p«e In its proceedings. On this latter
point Senator Aldrich said tonight that
if when the Republics ns were uked
Into the conference ami it should appear
tlmf the Democratic senatorial conferees
hod made concemiona sufficient to ma
terially alter ihe character of ihe sen
ate bill, would certainly uk for foil In
formation as to she reasons of the
changes, and In that event the probabil
ities were that Cbnriderable time would
be necessary after the beginning of a
full conference before the report could
be made. If. however. Senator Brice Is
correct In his prediction that there will
not be s divided report and the report
will simply State the fact of a disagree
ment, there would seem to be no reason
for the Republican conferees demand
ing a prolonged consideration in com
mit* ee.
In reference to the proceedings of the
conference, it could only be stated thrt
the sugar schedule had consumed the
greater part, if the entire time.
