THE STRIKE SPREADING The Northern Pacific’s Entire System" Is Now Affected. SAN TA FE MEN ORDERED OUT finited States Judges Step In \Vith Orders Restraining Strikers—A Sensational Rumor of a Probable Settle- ment of the Trouble. CHICAGO, June 29.—It was announced it 9a. 111. today that a strike had been de- :lared on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway, in connection with the Pull- » nan boycott, and that all the American Railway union men would go out at once, :ying up the system. An official of the American Railway inion says that the engineers and firemen 1f five Chicago roads will be ordered out. The roads to be affected, he said, are the Santa Fe, Baltimo e and Ohio, Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City, the Northwest- ’ 3m and the Illinois Central. Members of she union claim to have assurances that she men will quit work as soon as the or- der reaches them. This is in addition to xhe men who went out yesterday afternoon and last night on 15 roads centering in this city, estimated to number 5,000 in all, and whose action last night virtually tied up the Illinois Central, lVisconsin Central, Chicago and Great Western, Bal- simore and Ohio, and Chicago and North- ern Pacific. ' N 0 trains, through or suburban, were running on the Illinois Central into or cut of Chicago today. By 10 o’clock the Stigma and Wisconsin divisions of the Chi- ca o‘and Northwestern were at a stand- still. 7 Announcement was made that ev- ery road entering the Union depot would be tied up. The Chicago, Burlington and ' Quincy, the Pennsylvahia, the Chicago and Alton, and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul will all be afiectedjf traflfic there should be stopped. Signs of Trouble. Signs of trouble were detected early this morning along the Chicago and Northwestern line. At Western avenue and Kinzie street a crowd of strikers as- sembled at about 8 o’clock, and 30 officers were sent to the scene. At Mayfair, on the Desplaines division of the Northwestern, trouble was also feared. Freight switch- ing yards are located at this point. Dur- ing the morning the strikers congregated in the yards, and five police ofiicers were Sent to preserve order. A complication has arisen which may lead to trouble between the Illinois Cen- tral company and the engineers. Last night an Illinois Central switch engine cab was wrecked; and the company dis- charged Joseph Finn, who was in charge of the locomotive. He says that a side rod dropped, and the revolutions of the broken piece of machinery unavoidably wrecked the cab. His explanation was not satisfactory, and he was discharged. Finn is a member of the Locomotive Brotherhodd. Four engineers of the Northwestern road, who called on the officials of the American Railway union last night and induced them to give the order for the Strike on that road, ‘Were discharged to- a . y An Important Factor. This is considered by the union an im- portant factor in the trouble. Three men, members of the subcommittee sent out . by the union officials to the Northwestern yards at Western avenue, to order the strike at midnight, were arrested on com- plaint of the railway officials. They were charged with intimidation and were taken to the West Chicago Avenue police station and locked up. The union engaged attor. ‘ neys to defend them. Owing to the strike of the switchmen on the Panhandle road, the trains of that road have been brought in over the tracks of the Fort Wayne road. Threats to tie up .the latter road and even the entire Pennsylvania system grew largely out of this fact. Actions against the Fort Wayne would also involve the Chicago and Alton road, as both roads come into the city over the same tracks. The entire day crews on the Milwaukee and St. Paul and Panhandle roads quit work today, and there is not a wheel turn- ing under any passenger car on either road that is not manned by officials. The men are in an ugly. mood, and vio- lence is expected. There are said to be only two Pullman cars on the entire Milwau- kee and St. Paul system, but the use of these cars has been as effectual in tieing up the road. at least at the Chicago end, as though there were hundreds. The strik- ers are threatening to throw these two cars into the ditch. Armour & Co. say there is no danger of a strike at the stockyards, as rumored. Eight hundred men employed in the Northwestern’ 3 shops near West Fortieth street struck today . THE NORTHERN PACIFIC. Reports From Various Points Show That the Road ‘1. Tied Up. ST. PAUL, J and 29. —-A general strike on the Northern Pacific system is in effect today as the result of the orders of Presi- dent Debs of the American Railway, union, received here at midnight. Not a wheel is moving on the eastern end of the road, and a complete tieup is reported from Fargo, Livingston and other points. The strike is the direct outcome of the 131111- man boycott, the employees demanding the reinstatement of the men discharged on Tuesday and yesterday for ,refusing to .. handle'boycoeten cars and'dem’anuing than the order for the discharge of all employees who refused to handle the cars be rescind“ ed. Several meetings of Northern Pacific - branch 214, American Railway union, were held before the action,was decided upon.- A committee of five men was ap- pointed to w ait on General Manager Ken- , drick and demand the reinstatement of the discha1ged 11181)."Th18 demand was re- fused. A strike committee was immedi- ately appointed by the union, which at once sent a telegraphic order for a strike ,all along the system as far west as Living. ston, Mon, and that point was instructed to notify all western divisions and points at once. The order includes all classes of railroad employees and will not be con- fined to the trainmcn alone. Train No. 7, which runs as far west as Fargo, was tied up at the Union station here. N o engi- neer or fireman could be found to man the engine. The men in the Northern Pacific and Great Western railway shops cm~ ployed on Pullman equipment have gone out on strike. MINNEAPOLIS, June 28.—The local em- ployees of the Northern Pacific Railroad company. quit work at 7 a. m. today, ac‘ cording to the order of the president of the American Railway union issued last night. A strike has also been declared on the Milwaukee road. ~ FARGO, N. D., June 28.—0fiicers of the _local American Railway union last night received orders to quit work on the North- ern Pacific, and the men went out in a body. Early evening trains left on time, but No. 2 from the west arrived three hours late. As ’fast as crews came in they quit work. An open meeting of the Amer- lcan Railway union was held, and several hundred ‘railroad men were addressed by members of the order and urged to join. [t is reported here that the line in Mon- tana is effectually tied up. HELENA, Mon, June 28.—A11 Amer- ican Railway union men on this section of the Northern Pacific railroad went out under an order from President Debs. The entire line in this state, branches and all, 1s tied up. The orders were sent forward from St. Paul, where they were received just before midnight from Chicago. PACIFIC TRAVEL BLOCKED. No Through Trains In California —- The Santa Fe Tleup Complete. SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-——It is impos- sible today for a person to leave the state of ‘ California by rail. Not a train except those engaged in suburban traffic is moving in the whole state. The Southern Pacific Railroad' company adhered to its deter- mination not to run trains without Pull- man cars, and the trainmen refused to handle trains on which these cars were used. Consequently the hundreds of per- sons who expected to travel north, south and east, Were forced to return to San Francisco. The trainmen went to their homes. LAs VEGAS, N. M., June 28.—The Pull- man strike on the Santa Fe at this point was precipitated when the company dis- charged an engineer, Jerry de Long, and his fireman, Reed Oldham, who refused to start out with their train unless the Pull; man cars were detached from it. A tele- gram came from Manager Frey discharg- ing the men, and it was then announced that a general strike has been ordered on the whole Santa Fe system until these men shall be reinstated. BATON, N. M., J une 28.—President Debs of the American Railway union, in issuing the order for a strike on the entire Santa Fe system, has ordered the men to remain out until discharged employees shall be reinstated. Not a wheel is mov- ing on the entire New Mexico division. Several arrests will be made if the United States marshals succeed, in getting here from Santa Fe. The passengers are mak- ing the best of the situation. Judge Leeds of Santa Fe has issued an injunction re- straining the strikers from interfering with the property of the company in New Mexico. Rumors of a Settlement. SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. —A local pa- per here prints the following interview with a member of. the local lodge Amer- ican Railway union: “I have the best of reasons for saying that General Manager Towns of the Southern Pacific has sent a dispatch to Mr. Pullman today which ,will be the cause of the settlement of the trouble within 24 hours. In the contract which the road has with Mr. Pullman there was inserted a saving clause, which is designed to meet just such an emergen- cy as the present. It is to the effect that at any time Pullman becomeS unable to afford the service required of him, or if in supplying the service he shall in any way prejudice the interests of the‘ company, contracts shall be considered void. My in- formation is to the effect that Mr. Towne’s telegram to Pullman was to the'efi'ect that if the present trouble was not settled with- in a specified time the railroad company would consider the contract void and take steps to supply the necessaryservice it- self. ” Malls Delayed by the Strike. WASHINGTON, June 29.—-—The Pullman bocyott has resulted in interruptions to western mails, despite the predictions of postal officials. Dispatches received at the postofiice department today announce that the leaders of the Railway union and kindred organizations notified the South- ern Pacific road that the union men would not handle the trains to which Pullman cars were attached. The company declined to send out any trains ordinarily equipped with Pullmans that were not made up as usual. Passenger train service is conse- quently suspended between Portland and San Francisco, Ogden and San Francisco, and San Francisco and Los Ang‘eles, which will result in postal delays. East and west bound passenger trains on the Northern Pacific were also side- tracked at Livingston, Mon., because the trainmen refused to handle the trains un- til the Pullman cars were detached. Mudge Admits a Tieup. TOPEKA, J 11119 29. —General Superin- tendent H U. Mudge of the Santa Fe Rails road company said that, while he knew this trouble had been brewing some time, he did not expect it to be quite he soon. He could not tell how many American Railway union men there were in the em- ’ ployment of the company, and that the latest information he had was to the effect that none of the brotherhoods would espouse the cause of the union. He said _the road would be guided by the advice of. the courts in opposing the strike, but that every means would be employed to. fight the boycott; but, he added, “it will un-. doubtedly tie us up for a day or two.” “A complete tieup?" "Yes, entirely; at least _for a day or two. I cannot tell about it definitely just now.” Yale Oardmen lVin. .

After Amendments Had Failed He Tried to Have the Whole Thing Stricken Ont—The New Mexico Admission Bill Passed by the House.. WASHINGTON, J 11119 ' 29. -- Mr. Hoar (Rep, Mass.) started a series of filibuster- ing maneuvers today in the senate which Seemed to indicate that it might be the purpose of some of the Republicans to use the joint resolutiop passed by the house yesterday to continue for 30 days after fiscal year to blockade the tariff bill. The when all annual appropriations cease. As ,soon as the senate met at 10 o’clock Mr. Hoar made the point of no quorum, and as there were only seven senators present 25 minutes were spent awaiting the ap- pearance of a sufficient number to allow business to proceed» Mr. Cockrell, chairman of the appro- priations committee, then renewed his motion of last night to refer the resolu- tion to his committee. Mr. Hoar super~ seded this motion with one that took precedence, moving to refer with instruc- tions to report back as an amendment the sundry civil appropriations bill as it passed the house. ‘ Mr. Hoar protested against keeping the tariff bill before the senate to the exclu- sion of all other legislation and said that when the majority asked the minority to continue existing appropriations in order to press a bill that the minority believed injurious they asked too much. There were six appropriation bills be- fore the senate, and he would ask them to be taken up one after another until dis- posed of. When the hour of 10:30 arrived, the question of the disposal of the resolu- tion gave way to the tariff bill. The pending amendment was that of Mr. Hill to limit the time to the period between March 1 and Aug. 1 of each’year when the books of corporations sh auld be open to inspection. . Mr. Chandler moved to amend the amendment so as to add the words, “And then only upon the order of a judge of the United States court.” Mr. Teller’s Plan.I Mr. Teller (Rep., Colo.) appealed to the finance committee to strike out the whole of section 66, providing for the inspection of the books of corporations, and allow some provision to be framed by the confer- ence committee. He admitted that some such provision was neceSsary to insure the collection of the income tax, but insisted that it should be made as inoffensive as possible. tion. but he did not want it made odious by 'such a provision as section 66. To force individuals or corporations to open their books to every revenue agent was a pal- pable and plain violation of the constitu- tion, which insured the citizens against unreasonable search. It was equivalent to proceeding under a general warrant. The United States had the right unques- tionably to compel corporations to keep books and allow access to them, but cor- porations should~not be required to keep open their books every day for the idle curiosity of treasury agents or, worse, for purposes of speculation Mr. Manderson (Rep. , Neb. ) opposed the entire section, saying that it could not be read without wonder as to how it came to be in the bill. It was a danger- ous step in the direction of sociallsm. Mr. Allison (Rep, Ia. ) and Mr. Chan- dler (Rep, N. H.) also appealed to Mr. Vest to strike out the entire section. Mr. Vest replied that he could not con- sent to striking out all of the section which had come to the senate from the house and which had the approval of the treasury department. At the same time he recognized the force of what Mr. Teller had said. The rhetoric and claptrap used in denunciation of the section, he thought, was out of place. This was an excise pro- vision and not more harsh than other ex- cise provisions. He Offered as a substitute for the latter part of the section after pro- viding for the keeping of books, in lieu of the provision making these books open to the inspection of any internal revenue offi- cer or agent at all reasonable times, the following: “And whenever a collector or deputy collector of the district in which any cor- poration, company onassociation is assess- able shall believe that a true and correct return of the income of such corporation company or association has not been made he shall make a affidavit of such belief and of the grounds on which it is founded and file the same with the commissioner of internal revenue, and if said commis- sioner shall on examination conclude there is good ground for such belief he shall is- sue a request in writing to such corpora- tion, company or association to permit such inspection to be made, and if denied then the collector shall make, from such information as he can obtain, an estimate of the amount of such income and then add 50 per cent thereto, which assessment shall be the lawful assessment of such in- come.” Hill Again In the Fight. Mr. Hill doubted the legality of the whole proceeding provided for in section 66 and thought that not only section 66, but the preceding one providingfor the re- turn to collectors should be stricken out. Mr. Hill referred to the Tilden case, in which Mr Tilden [had refused to make a return of his income. _“‘Does not the law of New YOrk compel a man to appear before a tax collector and answer under oath?” asked Mr. Vest. “There is no such law, ’2 replied Mr. Hill. “Unless a man claims a reduction he is not compelled to answer. ” Mr. Hill made a motion ‘to strike out the entire income tax provision of the tar- ifi bill. _ The vote on this motion was as follows: Yeas—Aldrich, Allison, Chandler, Cul- lom, Dixon, Dolph, Frye, Gallinger, Hale, Hawley, Higgins, Hill, Hoar, McMillan, Manderson, Morrill, Murphy, Patton, Perkins, Platt, Proctor, Sherman, Smith, Washburn—24. 1' Nays— llen, Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Blancha ,-Brice, Cafi‘ery, Camden, Cock- rell, Coke,§Daniel, Faulkner, George, Gib— son, Gordon, Hansbrough, Harris, ”Hun- ton, Irby, Jarvis, Jones (Ark. ), Kyle, Lindsay, McLaurin, Martin, Mills, Mitch- ell (Or. ), Pasco, Pefi‘er, Pettigrew, Pow- ] Read the Gamma.

Mr. Tracey inquired (setto voice) why Mr. Reed did not take some one his own size, but Mr. Wheeler disposed of the Whole question by stating that he had had general permission to extend his remarks, and the gentlemen on the other side were always wrong anyway when they sought to accuse the Democrats of any misdeeds.

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC ALONE. Another Sailor \Vho Intends to Go Over In an Open Boat. NEW YORK, June 29. —Captain Freitsch 3013 Milwaukee with his 40 foot schooner rigged cockleshell, the Mina, arrived here on his way from Milwaukee across the At- lantic Ito Stockholm. He is h 6 foot Swe- dish sailor and built his boat especially for the adventure of crossing the lakes and the Atlantic alone. The boat is constructed of Michigan pine and looks like a flat bottomed skiff, _with her nose running clear out of water and drawing two feet aft.

Scenes Attending thOiEleCthll of the New Chief Executive of France—He Had a Majority on the First. Ballot. Great Enthusiasm. _ PARIS, J 11116 28. —Casimir-Perier Was elected president of France tbday. He re- ceived 451 votes on the first ballot. The national congress, summoned to elect a president of the French republic for a full term of seven years, was called to order in the palace of Versailles by M.‘ Challemel-Lacour at 1:10 p. m. today. ' At least five minutes elapsed after the formal call to order before there was suffi- cient quiet to enable the presiding ofi‘icer to be heard. When finally the assembly became orderly, M. Challemel-Lacour an- nounced the tragic death of M. Carnot and declared the congress open for the purpose of electing his successor. Scarcely had the président ceased speak- ing when M. Michelin, socialist, sprang to his feet and shouted: ‘ “I demand the suppression of the presi- dency of the republic.’ A tumultuous scene ensued, the uproar being so great that the president could not make himself heard. ‘ About 2 o’clock a small panic occurred in the lobbies owing to the escape of gas. which fill. d the corridors and made respi- ration difiicult. The fire brigade and a force _of working- men were immediame summoned. Smok- ing was forbidden, and the order was com- plied with without remonstrance. The leak was finally found, and the panic sub- sided. Casimir-Poricr Stald Away. 3.1. Casimir-Pcrier did npt go to Ver- sailles, but awaited the result of the bal- loting' 1n Paris. M. Dupuy, however, was among the first arrivals at the Versailles palace, and. during the voting strolled through the Galleria des Bustes, where many depu- ties, senators and journalists were congre- gated, calmly smoking a cigarette. M. Brisson, too, was on hand, wearing a black alpaca jacket and going about among his knots of friends, his face red and perspiration rolling down his cheeks. . The railways between Paris and: Ver- sailles were all lined with soldiers, who stood almost compactly the entire dis- JEAN CASIMIR-PERIER. tance. In addition to this precaution, de- tachments of soldiers Were stationed at .ev- ery bridge, station and crossing, and, in‘ Paris every conceivable measure was taken to repress possible disturbances. Premier Dupuy sat upon the ministe- rial bench at the head of his colleagues, and the political parties grouped them- selves together in different parts of the hall. Many of the socialists were compel- led to remain standing, as they were un- ableto find seats._ There were no speeches. “The members of the natibnal'assembly deposited their ballots in the um, and the tellers then took the urn to the committee room. ' The assembly, after a long and impa- tient wait, was much relieved when the tellers returned and announced the result, which was greeted with the wildest cheer- ing, which lasted several minutes. A scene occurred in the Galerie des Ton- beaux, owing to the fact of M. Challemel- Laoour forbidding the journalists obtain- ing an entrance to that part of the palace. The journalists protested vehemently, but they were compelled to retire. The galleries around the theater were thronged with ladies in fashionable toi- lets, the fair sex seeming as much inter- ested asthe men in the procedings. The New President's Career. M. Jean Paul Pierre Casimir—Perier was born in Paris on Nov. 8, 1847. His grand- father was president of the council under King Louis Philippe, and his father was a minister under the first president of the republic,- M. Thiers. During the Franco-Prussian war M. Casimir-Pcrier served with distinction with the volunteers of the Aube, who were called to the defense of Paris. During the siege of Paris M. Casimir-Perier displayed so much bravery that he was mentioned in the order of the day and decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor. In February, 1871, he became minister of the interior and chief of the cabinet of his father, who, in order toopen a political career for him, resigned as counselor gen- eral of the Aube in April, 1874. At the general elections of February, 1876, as a straight Republican, he was elected to rep- resent N ogent-Sur-Seine and voted con- stantly with the majority formed by the left Center and the Republican left. which refused a vote of confidehce in the Broglie ministry. In- the elections which followed the.dissolution M. Casimir-Perier was re- elected, and when the Republican cabi- net of Dec.14 was formed he was :ap- pointed undor secretary of state in' the de- partment of public instruction-.- Later M. Casimir-Pcricr l) 0 me a member of the Republican left. and in 1881 he joined the Republican 111.1 .1.1 _ a Ammumwvmme ,5 ‘ a number of suburban stations to South N ‘w. Renewing the adoptiOn by the chamber , ‘- of the preposition which excluded from . . public functions the members of families Which have reigned in France, M. Cash mir- -Pe_r,ier resigned his seat as adeputy on Feb. 1, 31883, not being able to conciliate - family duties with the conduct which his cbnscience and Republican sentiments dictated. _ . - Once More In Politics, , 'After some hesitation he ‘ again became as candidate for election to the chamber: of . deputies, and 011 March-.18 of the same year he was re- elected and became under ‘ secretary of state ._in the .ministry of war. » Wnere he remained until the resignation ‘ _of the minister of war, General Campe- non, 011 Jan. 3, 1885 He has been a mem- ber of the chamber of deputies ever since ' and was elected vice president of the cham- ber and president of the budget commis- »sion in 1890. Recently M. Casimir- Pericr was premiel , golf a short lived cabinet from December of last year until the latter part of ' May of the present. year, when he “rode for a fall, ” according to a leper-t, in order-to improVe- .his chances for the presidency - against the late President Carnot. Later he was elected president of the chamber of deputies. . M. Casimir-Perier is a Wealthy man Of strong mind and was looked upon as the candidate of the conservatives of France. He has shown himself to be afirm uphold‘ er of the law and the advocate of repressive" measures against anarchy. In appearance the new president of France is short, dark and well dressed, 'ex- tremely polite and of military bearing. ' The last electoral congresswas held at Versailles in 1887, when the murdered '0hief magistrate, whose remains are now resting in state at the Elysee palace, was chosen to succeed the late M. Jules Gravy, the third president of France. The first president was the late M. Thiers, and the second was the late Mar- shal MacMahon. It will thus be seen that there ismo living ex-president of France. Thiers died in 1877, MacMahon died in 1893, Jules Grevy died in 1890, and Sadi Carnot fell beneath the assassin’ s knife on Sunday evening last and died shortly after midnight on Monday. - Versailles is the capital of the depart- ment of Seine- etoOise and is situated about 10 miles from Paris. The great pal- ace of Versailles, now a historical museum and place of meeting for the sleetoral oon- ' grosses, etc. , and its magnificent gal- _, leries, flower gardens and parks and the two smaller palaces (Great and Little Tri- anon) are pleasant sights to all American travelers. The palace of Versailles dates back to the time of Louis XIV, and it was, from 1672 to 1790, the residence of the kings of France. From 1875 to 1879 Versailles was the legal capital of France.

The dispatch adds that the Poetess Ada N egri is said to be a- distant relative of Santo, and that She instructed him for four years. _A dispatch to The Chronicle says that M. Lepine, procureur of the republic, has learned that the conspiracy of cosmopoli- tan anarchists recently resolved to change their tactics and instead of using explo- sives to use the knife or revolver against prOminent rulers and statesmen.

Traffic was blocked, and the company was compelled to transfer its patrons from the branch to the main- line at... Seventy-first street. At this -_point the South Chicago branch leaves the main line and run’s- -southwest through Chicago. A tower at Seventy-first street controls the switches leading to the branch. Two operators have been sta- tioned in the tower, but they left their post last night, and their places could not be supplied readily. They left the switches set for the main line, and suburban trains on that road were running on regular schedule. ., Trains from South Chicago to . Randolph street ran as far as the main’ line, but were not able to continue north.1 The first evidence of violence in connw tion with the, Illinois Central tieup which1 has thus far presented itself is a hole in a Pullman sleeping car window. The win-,‘ - dow was broken after the train had en-. tercd Chicago, and it is supposed to be the, work of one of the strikers at Grand cross-a ing. No passenger was injured. No Boycott In Washington.
