Knoxville, Tenn., May 29,—All
but six machinists employed by
the eouthern railway shops at
this place went out on strike .to-

report from Salisbury, N. C., says

joking when he states he will prob
ably return to Savannah to take a
hand in the next political cam
paign/ “Don’t be suprised to find
me back here next year,” he said.
“I can predict one thing even at
this date—the crowd that’s in
office now will never be elected
again. The people have been
aroused and are thinking and they
will not permit the present crowd
, to hold office again. New issues
will be raised. The old cry of
cracker vs. Catholic will give way
to something better. Tlje good
people of the city will rise up and
manage things, and I am willing
to help them all I can. Savannah
wants men in control who will
mot build up family trees out of
public offices and who will not re
tard public enterprises by with
holding franchises for street rail
roads and other things that would
serve to benefit the city. The new
lines to be formed next year will
probably be strong enough to con
trol affairs in Savannah for the
right.” *
“Jack the Ripper” Appears Again.
London, May 28.—A sensational
murder case with mutilation,
has occurred in a low lodging
house in Dorset street, White
chapel, close to the scene of the
“Jack the Ripper” murders of
1888. The victim, a woman
named Annie Austin, twenty-eight
years of age, was found mortally
injured in a bed room on Sunday
morning and was'removedjto a hos
pital, where she died. The mur
derer escaped, and the pohee were
not notified of the crime un
til yesterday. The murderer’s
long start andjtotal lack ot descrip
tion of him render his apprehen
sion unlikely. The wounds on the
lower part of the victim’s body are
shops there went out today also.
The walk-out took place at 4
o’clock this afternoon at this
place. At Salisbury the number
iabo at fifty.
The representative of the" local
union wired from Washington
that the mission of the machinists
to Vice President Gannon, of the
Southern railway, had proved fu
tile.
A message from President
O'Connell, of the Internationa
Association of Machinists, was
received, ordering a strike which
was obeyed here at once. The
strikers held a meeting tonight
and decided to obey the dictates
of the leaders of the general strike.
The chief demand of the machinists
is for nine hours and an increase
of 12£ per cent in wages. The
stiikers claim to have information
that 95 per cent of tne machinists
on the entire systemof the Southern
railway will be out tomorrow after
noon.
Washington, May 30.—Re
ports received today by the South
ern railway show that more than
half of the machinists of the
Southern shops at Atlanta,
Charleston, Kuoxville, Selma, Col
umbia, Spencer, Manchester and
Birmingham are out on a strike.
The advices announce that there
is no trouble at the Alexandria,
Memphis and Lawrenceville shops
and all the men there are at
work. About 500 machinists are
employed by the Southern in all
its shops. The reports do not
state the exact number of strikers.
of the reunion of the confederate
veterans save the parade, which
will be held tomorrow morning, if
there is no interference by the
weather. There was a sharp little
thunder storm this evening and
the prospect for tomorrow is not
entirely favorable. The conven
tion adjourned this evening to meet
in Dallas, Texas. .
Gen. John B. Gordon was re-elec
ted commander without opposition
and the scene which followed the
announcement that for one year
longer he would preside over the
work of the organization was touch
ing. The old soldiers sprang to
their feet and cheered the general
with frantic energy. Delegates
climbed upon their chairs, [made
the building ring with their shoots
and filled the air with their waving
hankerchiefs as they applauded
again and agaiD. It was a minute
or two before the general could
master his emotion sufficiently to
express his thanks for the honor
awarded to him and to express his
gratitude for the expressions of
good will with which his re-election
had been received.

Memphis, May 29.—The main

filled by delegates at the forenoon
session of the United Sons ot Con
federate : Veterans con ven fcion.
General Hindman rappedTor order
at 10:40o’clock. As the committee
on credentials was not ready, the
report of the historical society was
called for. |S|
Owing to the absence of Chair
man William F. Jones of Elber-
ton, Ga., whose wife is very ill,
and who had the report with him,
Department Commander Brant H.
Kirk of Texas made a short speech,
embodying tbepointB to be presen
ted in the report.
He said that the history of the
war as taught to the school children
of the south gave them the impres
sion that the whole cause of the
south was wrong, from beginning
to end. In order to counteract
this impression, the report of the
committee should be printed and
spread broadly through the *south,
and prizes should be offered for
the best articles written by the
children, showing that they had
their former impression dispelled
and understood the southern cause
thoroughly.
A general discussion of school
histories ensued, and it was the
general opinion that none but his
tories written by an impartial
author and presenting fairly the
southern and northern sides of the
war should be used in the public
schools of the south.
