DEMOCRATS IN KENTUCKY’ DISCHARGED BY HUNDREDS, The Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company Adopt Vigorous Measures. Cucaco, May 14.—At precisely 7 o'clock this morning every switchman in the employ of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company— 200 in this city and 300 empfoyed at the points | along the ne—was discharged and paid off. ‘The company chose this hour as the most con- venient to notify both the day and night men that their services would not be required fur- ther. General Manager Whitman of the road reports at this hour (11 o'clock) that so far there has been no trouble or disturbance ocea- sioned by the lockout, ‘The road has been pre- pering for today’s action during the past two months, and for every man discharged this Whitman's illness six weeks ago, was rem- stated this morning and took charge of the new men. The company says that MeInerny Was never really discharged. His name hes never been taken off the pay rolls of the com- piy,,ut hus position has remained vacant, we ins vemmained away from his work pending the troubles on his account. A NEW ORDER OF THINGS. Mr. Whitman said this morning that the com- pany would no loyger put up with the state of things that has existed during the past three yenrs, and today’s action is a practical demon- stration of the company’s intention to run ite own business. On account of the men being always ready to strike on the slightest provo- cation the train service has been unsatisfactory to the public and to the company itself, and now he proposes to put astop toit. A few weeks ago, ufter the tronble caused by Yard- master McInerny, a canvags was made of the 1,071 locomotive engineers in the employ of the Northwestern by representatives of the com- pany. Every man promised to stand by the company in case a strike or lockout should be POLICEMEN PATROLING THE YARDS. A large force of policemen is patroling the yards of the company in this city, but so far their rervices have not been required. The officials of the company say this is not a fight against the Switchmen’s Union. ‘Their men, as tn many other yards,have frequently quit work without a moment's warning and without the sanction of the union. ‘The company will prob ably hire men without discrimination, but will not be dictated to any longer. All of the regular switchmen of the road at Milwaukee—fity-one men, comprising eight crews-—were discharged and paid off at 7 0'cloc! , 1891. HAS THE ITATA REEN SUNK? Ramers Perststently Cireniated That the Charteston Has Blown Mer Out of the Water. 8r. Lovie, May 14.~A special dispatch from the City of Mexico says that persistent ramors are in circulation that the U.8. cruiser Charles- ton overtook the Chilian vessel Itata on the high seasanda naval engagement had been fought, in which the latter was worsted and Dlawn ont o of the water. SX Fraxcisco, May 14.—Rumors coming from the City of Mexico to” tho effect that the cruiser Charleston bad overtaken the ffesmer Ttate | and has fired upon that yeuel, are rega ere as having no foundation, The Charleston passed San Diego St noon Monday. ‘The run to Acapulco, the nearest telegraphing point below the Gulf of California, is thirteen hundred miles. The Charleston was steaming at the rate of about fiftecn knots and was seen to be moving ont of her course to inspect ls, and even though pushed to the hig! int of speed could not reach Acapulco before tomorrow, and any news, therefore, of her operations could not be re- ceived through Mexican sources before her arrival there tomorrow. LABOR AND THE BIG FATR. Unless the Directory Comes to Terms There May Be a Boycott. Curcaao, May 14.—The joint labor committee on world’s fair met last night. A committee ‘was sent to the builders’ and traders’ exchange toask co-operation in the request of the di- rectors to grant a minimum rate of wages. Another committee was selected to visit the prominent and influential politicians of both arties and enlist them on the side of labor. Steps wore also taken to call « mass menting of working people at Battery D, to which the fair directors are to be invited. The International Labor Associa- tion reported that unless the local labor bodies wore fairly treated they stood ready to report to the international Inbor congress, soon to be held in Brussels, and to the trades union con- ress, soon to assemble London, these facts and to start a practical boycott. ion wus adopted to the effect that “4f the directory refuses to further confer with the iabor committee we see no need of a s0- culled labor representative on the directory and we ask Mr, Robert Nelsoa to step out,” ———_— FINANCIAL AND COMMEKCIAL, New York Stock Market. ‘The folle ‘the openinz and closing prices of the” Rew Tork ‘Block Migshets Ey epecia Site te Corsun and Macartne street.
