Southern Pacific Company and its patrons by consenting to observe the instructions of the A. R. U., 75 per cent of the sleeping cars run over their road being operated and owned by themselves and not by the Pull- man Company. The bulletin appealed to the men to stand by the company and handle their cars as heretofore, and if they do not comply it is thought that Mr. Huntington's instructions will be put in effect. Attorney General Olney’s Instructions The Southern Pacific Company has no- tified United States Attorney Garter that owing to the Pullman boycott it was un- able to send out the United States mail. Garter telegraphed to Attorney General Oiney, and in reply the answer came: “Enforce the law prohibiting the cbatruc- tion and delay of the United States mails. Cause the arrest and institute proceedings wherever the laws are violated.” Shortly afterward Mr. Garter sent a second dispatch to Washington asking whether the Attorney General's instructions applied to mail cars only or to mail as reg- ularly made up. The answer to this dis- Patch was: “Instructions cover mail trains as regular- ly made up and of all descriptions. United States Marshal Long has taken steps to enforce this ruling. By order of President Debs of the Amert- can Railway Union a general strike is in @ffect on the Southern Pacific and the entire System is paralysed today. Debs issued his order from Chicago last night. The order to strike is the result of the Gischarge at Oakland last night of three brakemen who refused to go out on a train to which Pullman coaches were attached. The strike went Into effect at midnight. Even the company's ferry service is crip- pled. , LOS ANGELES, Cal, June 2¥.—District Attorney Dennis has received a number of telegraphic orders from Attorney General | Olney, instructing him to take all possible measures to expedite the mails. The men have declared that they were perfectly Willing to haul the mail cars alone, and two of them were switched on the main track. The Santa Fe company then changed Its mind, and the orders to send the cars out were countermanded. The attitude of the federal government as understood here puts @ sensational aspect | upon the case, according to United | States Distwict Attorney Dennis’ instruc- tions, the strikers will be arrested and Prosecuted as conspirators, under direc- tions from Attorney General Olney, unless they go to work at once. If there ts any attempt to arrest the men {t is possible they will resist. Two switch- men, McHugh and Goldstock, were asked to confer with Dennis. They stated that any mail trains would be hauled; that a crew had been ready for tweaty-four hours, but that the company refused to haul the mail cars unless it had a Pullman attached. At a meeting of the railroad men last night a general strike on the Southern Pa- cific system was ordered by the union. All the operatives of the great corporation will go out, so that not even coal trains will be moved. It is learned that all the Santa Fe tele- graph operators and station agents will quit. Just before receiving his instructions from Mr. Olmey, Mr. Dennis had prepared a dis- Patch to that official, in which he stated that the request of the railway company for him to prosecute the strikers as con-| spirators was a practical impossibility, and | he gave it as his opinion that the statute did not apply to the existing conditions. About 400 strikers held a meeting last | night to Itsten to the argument of the/| United States district attorney as to the) responsibility of the government in the| handling of mail matter. The district at- torney said that the men in a body were| violating the law in refusing to handle trains on which the mails were to be car- ried, but the men contended that they were at llberty to leave their positions and retire at their own pleasure. SAN DIEGO, Cal, June 29.—The strike on the Santa Fe went into effect its | Pacific terminus at midnight Wednesday | night, and since that hour all trains have been at a standstill, both in this city and at National City. The local agent of the Santa Fe went to National City yesterday to get the trainmen to take out the morn-| ing train as usual. They told the agent that they had the highest regard for him Personally. but that orders had been re- cetved from headquarters and that they would obey them. WASHINGTON. Engineers at Tacoma Won a Fight for Thetr Road. TACOMA, Wash., June 29.—Five hundred members were present at last night’s meet- ing of the A. R. U., and one hundred and fifty new members were initiated. The en- gineers made a bold move by stating their intention of taking through Northern Pa- cifte trains from Taccma to St. Paul. They said the union men at St. Helena and other places had made a mistake in striking, and as the Northern Pacific owned a half in- terest in the Pullman cars, the strikers were simply hurting their own road and cutting off their own employment. A heated discussion ensued, the telegraph- favoring the strike. ‘They were voted down, and the engineers’ Proposition carried. The engineers hoped by their loyalty to have their wages in- creas to the old stan SPOKANE FA Northern Pacitic trains moved a wheel terday.

MISSOURI. The Boycotters to Tie Up All the Lines at St. Lout ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 20—The Pullman | Boycott is still ineffective here. The out- going trains were made up and allowed to leave as usual. The next move of the boycotters will be made under orders of Strike Director El- Mott of the American Railway Union. He has been sent here from Chicago, with in- structions from the general board to involve all the railway ms in St. Louis in a tie-up similar to that now prevailing at Chicago. This was done in response to| Rumerous requests from local unions in St. Louis asking aid of the general officers to take charge of local enforcement of the boycott against the Pullman cars. INDIANA. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., June 29.—All the A. R. U. members employed on the Evans- | ville and Terre Haute, and Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroads have joined the strike. They number about 400.

MUCH INTEREST SHOWN A special meeting of the board of trade was neld this afternoon at Willard Hall for the purpose of considering the bill now pending in Congress authorizing an issue of District bonds to the extent of $7,500,000 for the purpose of perfecting and extending the system of streets and sewers. Two o'clock was the hour named for the meet- ing, and it was not many minutes after that time when the president of the board rapped order. The secretary, Mr. John B. Wight, and the assistant secretary were in thelr places. In spite of the great heat there was a fair attendance of the members of the board, which was taken as an indi- cation of the great interest which is felt by the representative cftizens of the District in the proposed pian of improvements. The Pre s Explanation. President Warner stated that the meeting was called by order of the board of di- rectors. He then explained that the bili was for the benefit not of the rich, but of all classes. 1t appealed to the public spirit of the citizen. 1t was a measure for public safety, involving in the perfection of the sewer system of the city the health of the people. ‘The present was an emergency. Years ago the city got along very well with- out sewers and depended on its water sup- ply in the wells, but today the city has outgrown these conditions. He urged them to step outside of the petty dollar and act tor the interests of the community. A motion made by Glover to limit the Speeches to five minutés was amended to give the speakers ten minutes, and was adopted. Chairman Reed’s marks. The president then called on Mr. Reed, the chairman of the sewer committee of tive board. Two maps were displayed on the walls, one showing the present system of sewers and the other the extension con- templated by the bill. He pointed out how the present system deposited by twenty- two outlets in the waters along the river front immediately about our dwellings all the filth of the city. Special attention wa: called to Rock creek, James creek and th deposits made in the Eastern branch and along the rivef front. as to the sections where the highest rate of typhoid and malartal fever prevails, and Said that here was the home of the poor | people. He explained that the new system | ig intercepting sewers, which | the sewa: y avenue, and thence pumped acros: Hastern branch and piped across to the river, three miles below the city, where it would be deposited. Twenty Miles of Sewer. ‘The bill provided for the erection of about | twenty miles of sewer at an annual expense of 75 cents to each citizen. He quoted the amounts expended by other cities in the building of sewers. Chicago was down for twenty-five millions, Boston for eleven mil- | lions, while it 1g asked for Washington that | three miliions three hundred thousand be appropriated for this purpose. Mr. Read said that it was absolutely es- sential that the entire em be built at once. He spoke of the prevalence of pre- ventable diseases in this city, and said | that it was criminal in a city to neglect Its | sanitary condision. He thought in this matter personal consideration should be thrown aside. ‘These Favor the Project. Mr. James M. Johnston asked permission to express his opinion at this time, as he was obliged to leave the hall. He was in favor of immediate action in the matter and liberal appropriation. Mr. Holbrooke expressed the opinion that the general sentiment in this city is that| the sewer system should be improved. He recounted the action taken in the appoint- ment of the board of engineers, and this report, he said, was the basis of the present movement. —_—.__—_ POLICE INVESTIGATION. A Witness Who LEXow Very Near Per- Jur: NEW YORK, June 29.—Great interest was manifested in today’s session of the Lexow committee, as the investigation will proba- bly be adjourned for the heated term at the close of today’s sitting. The first witness called was George Vel- machen, a push cart peddier. He required the services of an interpreter, and his ex- emination proceeded slowly. ‘The witness said, through his interpreter, that he paid $15 @ month to a wardman for the privilege of keeping his cart at the corner of Broadway and Barclay streets. Before he paid he used to have to keep on the move all the while, although the law allowed push carts to remain five minutes in each place. He used to go to the sta- tion house and pay Wardman Wilson. The witness said that the wardman charged more for that corner than for side streets. When the witness added chestnut stand to the push cart he had to pay $5 a month extra. The Italian boot- black at the station house sometimes made collections from push-cart men. The ward- man gave those who paid a little book, in which was the date the next payments should be made. Patrick Ryan, owenr of several packing box factories, was asked if he was trou- bled by the police, and answered: “A great deal. “And do you pay?” asked Mr. Goff. “No, sir, I fight my battles in court,” he answered. Then Mr. Goff sprung a surprise. He showed the witness his own check book, which he had brought under subpoena. Raising his voice, Mr. Goff is an entry at the dat jovember 12, 1892, and reads, ‘Paid captain of police $10.’ " The witness looked painfully surprised. “It's in black and white, sure enough,” he gasped. “Yes, it’s there in black and white, peated Mr. Goff. “Did you write that check?” “No, I think a clerk named O'Conner did.” “Let me refresh your memory again, sail Mr. Goff. “Here is a stub dated Juiy 20, 1803, and reading, ‘Mr. Kelly for police money. Instead of looking crestfallen, the witness burst out into a loud laugh. Chairman Low rapped sternly for order and said: “This ts no laughing matter. It appears as if you have committed perjury.” ‘Then the witness looked very solemn. He was given in charge of the sergeant-at-arms and sent to his place of business to get his retura vouchers. It is expected that by this witness’ vouch- era, which will be produced, ‘he pre- cincts or the wardsman will be implicated. a THE RAILROAD STRIKE. Miciais Here Have No Additional News Today. Up to a late hour this afternoon the Post Office Department had received no additional news from the great strike. The division superintendent at Chicago has been requested by the authorities here to send on all information possible, especial- overt acts, such as interfering with mail trains, etc. If the information of overt acts by the strikers is recetyed, it will be at once sent to the Attorney General, whose direction the district attorney at Chicago will proceed against the strikers. A prominent post office official thus ex- plained the relations which exist between the department and the railroad companies in the matter of mail transportation: The government can only require railroad com- nies to carry mail when « complete mail in is run, as the government has the @ certain portion of existing ice for mail transportation The railroads do not contract to run a spe- clal mail service any more than they con- tract to perform any special service for pas- sengers. There are a few cases where the ‘ways are running as usual. No trouble is expected here or at any point in Tennessee. government pays for special train service, and this is on but one or two trunk lines.

A Tragedy in Virginia This Morning —On His Way te Join His Family at Natural Bridge. A private dispatch received in this city this morning stated that Col. H. C. Par- sons, the owner of Natural Bridge, Va., was shot and died at Clifton Forge, Va, today. A dispatch from Clifton Forge states that Col. Parsons was shot by Goodwin, a con- ductor, whom the former had reported for neglect of duty. The shooting occurred at Gladys Inn. Col. Parsons died almost im- mediately. Col. Parsons, it is understood, had charged that Goodwin permitted fast wo- men to travel on his train free. He com- plained because members of his family had been annoyed and insulted by these women. In consequence of these charges Goodwin -was dismissed. Details of the Tragedy. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CLIFTON FORGE, Va., June 29.—Col. H. C. Parsons was shot in the lobby of Gladys + Inn this a. m. at 7 o'clock. The shooting v.as done by Thos. A. Goodman, a passen- ger conductor on the Richmond and Alle- | gheny railroad. He never spoke after being shot, and died at twenty-five minutes after 6 o'clock. Four balls from a double-action Smith & Wesson pistol, 38 caliber, entered the body. One ball entered just under the right col- lar bone, one on right and one left side of abdomen, and one the left side of head at the union of frontal and parietal bones. He Hved one hour and fifteen minutes after having been shot, but never spoke. Dr. W. a. F. Miller, railway surgeon, was sum- moned, but could render no aid. After discharging his pistol, Conductor Goodman: went before W. W. Davis, mayor of Clifton Forge, and gave up his pistol, remarking that when the public had be- come informed with all the circumstances connected with the affair he would be justified by them for the killing. He wired a message to Col. Beverly Crump, Richmond, his attorney, directing him to procure and take charge of a cer- tain important letter bearing upon the case, which, it is alleged, Col. Parsons had writ- ten to General Manager Stevens of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway, seriously re- flecting upon his official conduct and char- acter. Senator Proctor Shocked. Senator Proctor was extremely shocked this afternoon to hear of the death of Col, Parsons, with whom he was intimately juainted. He said, to a Star reporter: “Col. Parsons was a Vermonter, and served most gallantly during the war as captain of the first Vermont cavalry. He earned distinc- tion in many places, and particularly at the battle of Gettysburg, where he was en- aged in the famous charge of his regiment, at the head of which Farnsworth fell. Af- ter the war Col. Parsons went to Virginia and settled, and has, I believe, acquired considerable property around the Natural bridge. He has been a very energetic and enthusiastic republican, and has taken a prominent part in the politics of the state. He was an enterprising business man and a shrewd investor. Besides being interested in many local enterprises, I understand that he was a stockholder in the Pan-American railway corporation. Parsons always took @ great interest in memories of the war, and not long ago I took a trip with him to the battle feld of Gettysburg and he guided me over all of the historic places. He has purchased a farm over on the left flank of the field, which was the scene of the charge of his regiment, in order to provide for the Vermont battle monument. I saw C Parsons only a very few months ago, du ing the past winter, and he seemed to be in excellent health and spirits. Tnis news is @ great shock to me, and a mystery. not, of course, understand how his death should have occurred.” Col. Parsons left for Richmond. Miss Elsie McElroy, daugh- ter of Col. John McElroy of the National Tribune, who had been invited by Col. Par- sons to visit his daughters at Natural Bridge, left also at the same time in com- pany with Mrs. Shelley and Miss Shelley for Clifton Forge, Va., it being arranged that Col. Parsons, after transacting his business in Richmond, should hasten on and join them at Clifton Forge, where the. party would remain last night and go on to Natural Bridge this morning. This morning Col. from his daughter announcing that Col. Parsons had been shot, but not fatally. A little later, however, another dispatch came from her stating that Col. Parsons was dead. No details were given of the shooting. Col. Parsons was a well-known business man, having large interests in Virginia and other sections of the south. His mis- sion to Richmond. was to arrange some of the details of a mining enterprise in which | he had become recently interested. A few miles from Richmond is located what is said to be the only bituminous coal mine east of the Alleghenies. It was worked before the war and operated during the war by the confederate government, bui on a wasteful scale, which was supposed to have ruined ft. Col. Parsons has recent- ly been organizing a company to reopen the mine, build a railroad to a point on the James river, where there ts sufficient water for deep-draught vessels, establish a line of whale-back steamers and deliver coal to Boston and New York directly from this 1 can- | Washington yesterday | McElroy received a dispatch | Duliness Characterizes All Speou- lation Today. AWAITING ACTION ON THE TARIFF Friends of Sugar Confident of Be- ing Protected. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Atar. NEW YORK, June 29.—Today’s market eclipsed all recent records for dullness, and was practically without other feature. There was no business worthy of comment from any source, and the apathetic transac- tions of the professional element left quo- tations unchanged. London contributed to the prevailing disinterestedness, the only feature on that side being a decline of 8-4 per cent in Nashville. The steady tone of the market was en- eouragirg, in view of the continued labor troubles in the west, which promise to be more serious than at first supposed. The bears were not willing to put out any con- iderable line of short stock on the strength of this condition, fearing a sudden rally as an expression of satisfaction at the passage of the tariff bill. This latter event is en- dowed with all the responsibility of inaugu- rating the recuperative process, and is ex- pected to have immediate effect on the in- dustrial stocks, followed by a steady im- provement in railroad values as soon as Warranted by general trade conditions. The delay in settling the provisions of this great revenue measure has resulted in a general desire to add the necssary element of finality, rather than insist on the Incor- poration of k radical changes than those that now e: With this result only a few hours delayed, the condition of specula- | tion is quite natural, and warranted by | former experiences along similar lines. The sugar situation is decidely encour- aging to the friends of that property, and it {s reasonably sure that the present sched- ule will pass the Senate. The proposed changes are not material and are satisfac- tory to the refining interests. Should any attempt at radical alteration of the sched- ule be made by the conference committee it is believed the action would influence sufficient votes in the Senate to defeat th bill. In view of the Senate’s attitude the vote of that body may safely be considered a settlement of the controversy on this subject. Among other changes likely to be made by the conference committee in the interest of harmony is a withdrawal of the extra 10 cents allowed by the Senate on imported spirits. Inside interests in distillers have apparently protected themselves against such a contingency. The market for sterling exchange opened lower this morning, with a tendency toward weakness.

The need of a law regulating the practice of medicine in the District of Columbia | was fully set forth by @ committee from the Medical Society before the Commission- ers this morning. At @ recent meeting of the Medical So- clety the bill was discussed and finally adopted by that body. The full text of the bill was printed at the time in The Star. Dr. W. W. Johnston in the absence of Dr. Busey, the chairman of the committee, explained the provisions of the bill. The object of the bill, he said, was to regulate the practice of medicine in the District. It hardly seemed necessary to urge the importance of the bill upon the Commissioners. Its needs were apparent to everyone.

Dr. William Wheeler Hubbell, who claims to be the president of the White Cross University of Science, of the vivo pathic system, entered a strong protest against the bill. He maintained that all physi- clans other than those who practiced his school were frauds. He had practiced for twenty-four years and had never lost a case, while other doctors were murdering people every day. He railed at the other schools of medicine until the Commissioners | gerne haga that he must confine himself x= =x i to the i] In ly to a question, he stated the White Cross University of Science had no pile and had graduated but one man. +| yu fie was from New York.
