Nothing discouraged me so much in the past few weeks as to see so many men anxious to take a gun and offer to go and shoot their fellow men for the mere pittance of S3 per day. "I look at this effort now being made such men as Pullman as an effort to break up all organizations of laboring men, so that they can deal with the working man one by one, and gradually get them down to pauperism and serfdom. 'I have been criticized for 6aying that any man had the right to take his labor away from any employer, but had not the right to interfere with any other man for taking his place.

I say now he has a right to interfere if does it in a peaceable way. is right and just for every man to protect his wages and his job. I also say that a man who does not belong to a union, and stands ready to take another man's place at less wages is an enemy, a spy and an obstructer, and ought, in some peaceable way, to be removed."

It is Said, in Chicago, but Growing Stronger in the West Workmen Advised to Keep Away from the Stock Yards. Chip ago, July 16. The American Railway union officials have deter mined to make a desperate struggle to regain for that order the it has lost in the great strike, now rapid' ly approaching a close. The executive board of the union held a meeting yesterday morning, the object of which was to map but a course for the future. After a lengthy discussion it was de cided to send out "revivalists" to all important sections of the west.

Six agitators had been sent out Saturday, and it was decided'' to augment this number. "The names of those sent out Satur day will not be given out," said Presi dent Debs to a reporter, "for fear of their being arrested for inciting a strike." It was learned elsewhere, however, that Director Kern was sent to St. Louis to rally the forces theref liogan was sent out over the Northern Pacific to stir up the employes of that company and j.ooiwm was sent over, the 3ortU western to use his influence with the employes of that railway, and if possible induce them to go out. These del egates are all members of the executive board of the union. Other emissaries were sent out to work with employes of the many lines entering this city.

After tms meeting adjourned an en thusiastic meeting was held in Uhlich's hall, Presidents-Debs presiding. He made a rousing speech, reminding one of the early days of the iffltrike. "The strike," he said, "is now right now more prosperous and encouraging than ver before: We can and must win. The men who have gone, back to work will' again come back to us. and victory is Vours.

Grand Chief Arthur -of the engineers is a scab jobber; and he will go down in history as a traitor to organized labor. He instructs his men to work with scabs and tells them that scabbing is honorable. He is a tool in the hands of the general managers. The strike is weaker in Chicago than elsewhere," continued Debs, "but it will grow stronger, just as in the west it is grow ing stronger every hour. Fifteen meetings were held in differ ent parts of the city during" the after noon and evening, several of which were addressed by Debs.

He will to day give out a statement in answer to the one made by Pullman. Mr. Debs said several of his commit teemen had reported to him the Rock Island, Lake Shore, Eastern Illinois, Grand Trunk and Western Indiana men would all be out again to-day Nothing could be learned outside to verify this assertion, however. President Debs visited the 6tock yards yesterday and addressed a crowd of strikers, who have for the most part failed to secure their old positions. He urged them to continue the strike.

which, he deelared, was never nearer to a victory than now. The men agreed to stand by Debs, but at the same time expressed themselves violently against the men who nave taken their places. The switchmen and engineers were especially loud in their protests against a surrender. The butchers also had bitter words, all these men having seen their jobs filled the day before by nonunion and imported men. The opinion was expressed loudly that the war was only begun.

During the day the distnet was plas tered and covered with bills and posters reading- as follows: Executive board ef Knights of do hereby advise all workmen to keep away from the stook yards on Monday, as it Is the desire of all organized bodies that all honest work men should do bo, and we further condemn the action of the cooper in returning to work as high-handed ana Mlflsh, without askin eonr caions for the laborers, and that all men round working in the yards on Monday will forever be branded as enemies of organized labor. By order of the aoinmiittoe. -1 Conditio of Mlsstfri Banks. Jeffebsox Crrr, July 16.

The Increasing Business of the Well- Known Merchant and Representative of the Second Ward Compels Him to Give up Aldermanic Duties About His Successor. Mr.Lyman Utter, has announced his withdrawal from the city council as the member from the Second ward, and will devote his attention exclusively to his constantly increasing business. Business considerations alone are given by Mr. Utter as the cause of his action, and he will formally tender his resignation at the next.council meeting.

He says he was elected as a business man and according to his ideas of business his duty to his constituents requires that he shall devote the greater part of his time to public affairs. Consequently in justice to himself and to the people of his ward he concluded to resign. He sava he cannot do two things well, at tend to his business, and the business of the citv as he thinks they ought to be attended to. Among Mr. Utter's constituents there is much disappointment and sor row over his resignation as he repre sents tne choice of a very large major ity of the people of the Second ward, being regarded as a clean citizen and a thorough business man.

His private business, however, has increased so rapidly of late that it demands his entire attention. As yet gossip- has been slow iu taking up and discussing Mr. Utter's succesor It will devolve upon Mayor Barnes to appoint some good man from the Second ward to fill the vacancy until the next municipal election occurs when the Second ward will have the added interest of selecting two aldermen, one to fill the unexpired term ending a year from that date, and one to fill the regular term of two years. Mr. Utter was onlye lected last April.

The appointment bv the mavor will have to be confirmed bv citv council. In making this appointment Mayor Barnes will endeavor to ascertain as far as nossible the wishes of the people of the ward affected, as he desires to select sninft one who will be acceptable. Of course, he will have to be a republican. Among a number of the Second ward Ttnlitipisjis lieorge IJemarc nas oeen spoken of. THE FIRST NATIONAL COLLEGE ATHLETIC MEETING.

On this side of the ocean we think that we can run as fast, jump as high, and row as well as our English cousins, even though they have several hundred years the start of ns in athletic sports. There have been but few chances to test our opinions, because it is difficult to arrange meetings between teams or colleges with the ocean between them, when the journey either way, for a lot of men in training, is so long and expensive. Twenty years ago or more a Harvard crew went to England and was beaten, on the Thames after a gallant struggle. At the Philadelphia Centennial, in 1876, a London rowing club "four" rowed in the International races and was beaten by a Yale crew, of which the famous "Bob" Crook was captain. English cricket teams have visited this country spx-pral times, and American prof es sional baseball team played through England on a tour of the world a few The Manhattan Athletic club, before it went to pieces, sent a team of track and field athletes to England; they gave a very good account of theni-spIyps.

winning many prizes. There has never been a meeting between English onllWft track athletes: auu iuiiviiv! nor has there been any effort to bring about such a contest until withm the last few months. The Yale and Ox ford crews have tried to arrange a race several times, and there is no end of talk about an International boat race every spring. But, with much less talk than is wasted in vain every year over a rowing match, a meeting has been TPd between the picked athletic teams of Yale and Oxford for July English ground. Oxford won the championship from Cambridge at their annual contest in March, and, therefore holds the track athletic championship of England.

Yale detearea in their annual dual meeting at New Haven on May 13, and two weeks rater won the Intercollegiate championship of America from nineteen colleges which sent competitors. The athletes of the dark blue are the representative runners and jumpers and weight throwers of the colleges in the United States for this season, and so have earned the right to challenge the English young men af muscle.
