The action of the conference of the Federation of Labor yesterday afterncon, supplemented by a meeting of the Building and Trades assombly last night, at which it was re- solved call off the strike and resume work at once, Is accepted universally as the death blow of the Pullman boycott. Debs and Sovereign still say that it is not ov nd that they are going to fight to the bit- ter end. Debs goes so far as to say that lo will tie up every railroad in the United States, but he also says, or did say in a speech last night to 500 of the strikers ““The only thing that now remains for us accomplish is to get you boys back at your work. We made a proposal to the rallway managers today regarding this. We did not ask for recognition for the A. R. U. We simply made the propositon to them that we would call the strike off If they would promise not to be prejudiced against you in taking on men. Al we asked to do was to take back the honest, former employes—the ones who had not committed any crime. We offered to como haif way in settling the trouble. If any man here 1 suggest to us any fairer proposition want him to do It, because, you know, we want to be perfectly fair in this matter. LAUDED THE SWITCHMEN. “My heart goes forth in these times to the switchmen as the bravest and most loyal men who work on railroads today. The switchmen have more than once gone out to help the firemen, engineers or con- ductors, but does any one know of any of tho other brotherhoods ever having gone out in sympathy with the switchmen? If the engineers and conductors had shown a loyal, brotherly spirit in this trouble and cted as the switchmen did affairs would now be in a very different condition. I hope, boys, to see the day come when every railroad man_and laborer will be ready and glad to lay down his work to fight for the rights of any body of brothers who are be- ing wronged. Not until you are ready to do this can labor make any demands on capital.’ This statement, as fias been statements during the last forty-eight hours, is pted as an_acknowledgment that he recognizes his defeat and is now engaged in an effort to undo the work he has been doing for the last two weeks. He cailed in conference this morning members of his executive board, but did not all respond. KNIGHTS WILL AID A joint meeting of thoa A, R. U. and the Kn'ghts-of at 10:45 a. m. today hehind c at the Revere house. Grand Master Workman Sovereign left the conference at 12:50 and stated to an Asso- ciated press representative that the tervices of the Knights of Labor had been offered uareservedly to the A. R. U. “I have been in communication Philadelphia office,” said Sovereign, our exccutive poard has sanctioned such action. The Knights of Labor will be called out in every place that they can be of service to the A. R. U., but a general striko of all knights will not be ordered.” Grand Chicf Stevenson and Secretary Ronemun of the Board of Railway Carmen, representing, they claim, 7,000 men, at- tended the conference and announced them- selves in sympathy with the A.

At 2 p. m. it was announced that the ex- ecutive committee of A. R. U. had decided to send out six men and as many directors as can be spared to work up a sentiment In favor of the A. R. U. Grand Chief Bowie of the Raflway Track- men’s association was present at the meeting of the A. R. U. as thelr representative. He offered the services of his association in any way they thought might be required. About 100 of the members have already struck. MANY ARE LEFT OUT. For the most part the railroads are tak- ing back their old employes as fast as they apply, and there are a great many appli- ats this morning. They are not dis charging any of the men who were employed to take the places of the strikers, and such of the strikers as are re-employed are taken as Individuals. It necessarily follows that a large number of the strikers find them- selves unable to secure reinstatement, and these are insisting upon a continuance of the struggle. The federal troops are getting ready to leave. The camp on the lake front has been busy packing, and orders for their de- parture are expected at any moment. It is believed that their destination is Cali- fornia, The state troops are also on the move, but enough will be lield in Chicago to pre- vent any possibility of a renewed outbreak. It may be truthfully said that with but very few exceptions every man in Chicago, whether employed by railroads or belonging to the Building and Trades council, is secking work on practically any terms offered, Adjutant General Martin sald today that there was no probability of an Imme- diate removal of the United States troops from Chicago. “The troops will be kept here,” he sald, “until the government is very certain that there will be no further troble. It costs no more to keop them here than at the various posts, and there will be no hurry about re- moving them.” * HOWARD FAVORS CONTINUING. Vice President Howard of the A. R. U, said this morning: * 1 am more encouraged than ever to continue the strike. This en- couragement is based largely on many tele- grams recelved last night and today from different quarters throughout the country.” Mr. Howard sald he had advised the en loyes of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road and the Chicago & Northwestern raflway to quit work and tie up both sys- tems. This adyice was given at a meeting of the railway men last night at Indiana and Lincoln streets. The audience numbering 000 men. Mr. Howard sald, enthusiasti- cally applauded the idea.

Little information of general in terest was glven out except that the council had decided to appropriate $500 towards Mr. Debs' defense fund. A mass of routine business was disposed of President Debs retired to ns room early this evening and declined to see any one His representatives sald he had nothing to say in addition to what was given out today. General Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor left this evening for Des Moines without making any further orders in regard to the strike.

CHICAGO, July 14.—President Gompers, when asked about the refusal of the rallway managers to entertain Mr. Debs' proposi- tion, sald today: “I regret it very much. It was bad for the rallways, bad for the men and bad for the public intercst. It will have, however, no effect on the action taken by the federation in declining to order a general strike.” On his arrival at his ofiice today Hopkins received the letter from th n | Managers association returning the proposition for a settlement of the strike as made by Debs, Sovereign and Howard, with the information that it would not be con- sidered. The mayor forwarded the munication to President Debs: “I rogret that the answer s such,” said the mayor. I think the railroad companies should hay: taken advantage of such a fair offer in the interest of peace, law and order. Of course they know their business better than I do.” HOPKINS SAYS IT WASN'T SO, “The story s false from beginning to end. I shall ask General Miles at once to do me the justice of denying it,” said Mayor Hop- kins, referring to a report from Cincinnati to the effect that General Miles, b fore tne state militia was called out, called on Mayor Hopkins and asked It he intended doing his duty and would call out the state militia, According to this report the mayor answered that he should not mix up in the matier, hereupon General Miles pulled out his watch and said he would give Mayor Hop- Kins just thirty minutes in which to issue instructions to his police and to call out the state militia, and that if he (Mayor Hop- kins) refused to obey he would declare the city under martial law and arrest the mayor for conspira have Mayor com ad but one interview with Gen- ' continued the mayor, ‘‘and Saturday evening about 6 o'clock, hours after 1 had called for nd when most of them were in the field. Prior to that time I had positively no communication in any way with any federal official. VHE troops TRUE STORY. eneral Miles called on me at the re- quest of Marvin Hughitt, President Black- stone of the Alton and’ General Manager Egan. These gentlemen had been to see mo early in the afternoon to ask if there could not be a unity of actibn between the federal and state troops. I asked Mr. Egan whether the federal troops would come to tho aid of the militia and police it a riot occurred a block away from railroad tracks. Mr. Egan cowd not answer, and the gen- tlemen " went to General Miles to find out, Later General Miles called a my office and I talkéd with him in the presence of Comp- troller Ackerman, Corporation Counsel Rubens, Colonel Donovan and Alderman McGillen. The general told me his in- ructions were to guard federal buildings Chicago, to protect the United States mail and to see that roads engaged in the interstate commerce busness were not inter- fered with, but that his troops would ald tho militia _and police on request of the mayor or_any of his officers, civil or mil- itary. — Never at any time prior to that imo, or since, have 1 had a personal talk with General Mles.” I believe General Miles is a fair ‘man. I shall ask him at once in justice to me to deny the story. 1 believe he will do so.” Mayor Hopkins seht a letter to General Miles calling attentfon to the story and asking the general to write a letter saying that the report was unfounded. ARBITRATION NO GOOD NOW. President Debs of the A. R. U. declared at 10:30 a. m. today that the Chicago, Milwau- kee & St. Paul road was tied up this morn- ing. He sald the men agreed last night to 80 out and that they had done so. On the other hand the gencral manager of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Paul, being shown this statement of Mr. Debs, says: “It is utterly false. A few men quit work to- day, but any number of our old men were taken back and we have as many men as we can use and are taking on others hourly as the work increases. Everything is in betfer shape today than at any time in ten days.” Mr. Debs said: *“We propose to prosecute this fight with greater vigor than ever.” Ho said he had seen Pullman’s statement to the publie, and the fact that Mr. Pullman had at last condescended to make a state- ment was very satisfactory to the A. R. U. Mr. Debs added that the arbitration commis- sion which President Cleveland proposed was apparently now unnecessary, in view of the actlon of the General Managers assoclation in refusing absolutely to have anything to do directly or indirectly with the American Railway union. The president could, of course, still appoint such a commission, but Mr. Debs said he could see no use for such action by Mr. Cleveland now. “The general managers,” said Mr. Debs, “have undertaken to crush the American Raflway union, and the American Railway union will fight back.” MANAGERS DON'T BUDGE. John M. Egan, chairman of the General Managers association, announced at noon to- day that the action was final which was taken last night In returning to Mayor Hopkins the proposition for a return of strikers to work, submitted by President Debs of the A. R. U. The announcement by Mr. Egan was said to be the resuit of a sesslon of the general managers which began today about 10 a. m. The General Managers assoclation ad- journed sine die just before 12:30 p. m. It was given out that only routine business was transacted and that no further meeting of the gencral managers would be hetd un- less by special eall. WON'T CHANGE THEIR DECISION. The Building Trades council has deserted the cause of the A. R. U. “We will adhere to the action we took last night in any event,” said President Ryan today. *‘When we decided on that course last night we were under the impression that the General Mana- gers assoclation would accept Mr, Debs’ prop- osition or had already done so and that the strike was all over. I hardly think they would have taken that course if they had known the contrary. However, it s a lost cause, and even though an attempt is made to prolong the. fight we will not aiter our de- cisfon.” Many of the striking employes at the stock yards reported for work today. Thirty- seven switchmen, thirteen engineers and more unskilled laborers were given work. Five engines were put in service and hauled all the cars received from outside roads. The packing louses received 5000 cattle, 20,000 hogs and 15,000 sheep. Armour, Swift and Morris kilied during the day and meat trains were sent out. Mayor Hopkins received the following letter in answer to hls to General Miles: “Dear Sir: I have the honor to reply to your letter of this morning enclosing an ex- tract from today's Inter Ocean. In attending to my official duties I have not had time to read what has appeared in the public press and have declined to be interviewed, I think, more than 100 times during the past ten days, but as this comes to me in your letter 1 have read it. It appears to be sensational and I think It unnecessary to state in detail what parts are true and what are not. I did not call upon the president by a long dis- tance telephone. 1 did not say that I ‘should declare martial law,’ or that I should ‘place you under arrest, or that ‘I had been In- Structed by the president to take any such action.’ The substance of my remarks was to apprise you of the fact that the federal forces under my command were here to pro- tect government property; to mssist the United States marshals and the United States district attorney In the execution of their Quties and in the opening of mail routes and the lines of interstate commerce, and, if re- quired, to suppress any insurrection; that I | assumed and knew the authorities in Wash- ington expecyed (Fhat the state government would, to thd kxfbnt of th Power, preserye | the public p and order in this county | and ‘state.

The day and th elements were all favorable to the queen of the seas and not a single mishap of a kind happencd to mar the trial trp. READY FFOR THIZ TRIAL. At 8 o'clock the new cruiser started for Cape Ann, where she was to begin her jour- ney of mearly cighty-cight nautical miles for fame and money, and the long whistle denoting she was ready to go over the cour:e wi blown soon after the twin lights on Thatchers island came into view, and the flag of the secretary of the nav which had up to this time flaunted defiance to the breeze from the foretopmast, wan down and in turn every of bunting, rop flagstaffs and everything which in any way could catch a breeze. The boat passed Bos- ton lighthouse at 8:31, and soon after the forced draught was put on, and the ship specded fo the starting point as though imb 1 with a konwledge that she was ex- peeted to do something never before ac- complished, and when she did cross the line she had not, in the estin ion of the senior member of the firm of Cramp & Sons, attained her full speed. It was decided, however, to let her continue her course, and if she beat the best time on record, let the matter drop there, but had she not suc- cecded in keeping pretty close to the record of her sister ship, which held the speed record for a warship, another tri would undoubtedly have been demanded. As she crossed the line of the first mark the engines were credited with making 124 revolutions a_minute, and the boilers with 150 pounds of steam. Despite the speed at which she was going it was remarked how little vibration was noticeable. Still the great ship sped on, and when she reached the buoy off the armored cruiser New York the time noted was 9:50:30, and the time taken to run the two and nearly one-half miles was six minutes and twenty-two sec- onds, or at the rate of twenty-two mnd twenty-two hundredths nautical miles an hour. The freight steamer Fern was the next stake, and the distance betwwen the New York and Fern was six and sixty-six hundredths miles, and it was 10:09:08 when Lieutenant Drake, on the after transit sta- tion, announced she had crossed the line, making the distance in 18:38, or at the rate of twenty-one and forty-three hundredths miles an hour. Between the Fern and the United States tug Fortune was the same distance as be- tween the New York and the Fern, and this leg was made in the remarkably fast time of sixteen minutes and fifty-one seconds, or at the rate of 23.71 nautical miles. This was said to be owing to the water being much deeper than on the previous leg. Her engines were making 141 revolutions per minute. July crulser Minne made her is the umbla made her famous course anchored anchore ship to other tween be LET OUT A NOTCH. From the Fortune to the cruiser Atlanta was 6.4 miles, and the run was made in 17:23, or at the rate of 22.06 miles. An equal distant point was the United States tug Leyden from the Atlanta, and fhis run was made in . or at the rate of 21.20 miles per hour. Between the Leyden and the dynamite gun vessel Vesuvius was a space of 774-100 nautical miles, and this space was covered in 21:54, or at the rate of 21.20 nautical miles per hour. The last leg of the run over the first half of the trial trlp of forty-four miles return from Cape Ann to Cape Porpoise and return was the next to be run, and the distance between the Vesuvius and the dispatch boat Dolphin, 774-100 nautical miles, was made in 18:18, or at the rate of 25.42 miles, belng the fastest time made on the outward trip, and causing the members of the board of officers assigned to attend the trial to open their eyes, and the newspaper men on board to feel as though they were going through the air. The speed was per- fectly satisfactory to all on board and the Minneagolis, in the last few miles, had d=mo - strated that she was not only capable of holdinz her own with her sister ship, but was able to meet her and show her the lines of her stern at any time. One-half of the trip was a thing of the past and the time consumed in the forty- four knots was one hour and fifty-five mi utes and eight@n seconds, with an average speed of 22.90 miles as against 22.92 for the first half of the trial trip of the Columbia, whose efforts she was trying to beat. The run back was started at 11:58, the time used in making the turn being cighteen minutes and fourteen seconds. No stop was made to cool bearings or for any purpose, as nothing was necessary to be done, so perfect was the working of the machinery on the boat, and she immediately headed for the mark off the Dolphin on the return trip and the same vessels were in position and the only difference was that the average specd of the Minneapolis was a trifle faster, and her average on the return trip was 23.20 miles as a 90 on the first half, mak- ing the total average speed per hour of 23,06 and proclaiming to the world the fact that the new United States crulser Minneapolis was the fastest armored vessel afloat. Not a thing on the craft could have been arranged to better the result and a happier lot of men never alighted from a vessel than those who, either as members of the trlal board or as representatives of the press, stepped from the beautiful craft shortly before sundown. The scene as she scudded along past the vessels at anchor behind the buoys was one leng to be re- membered, and particularly as she passed the New York, whose men were all drawn up on the decks and upon the return gave to Secretary Noble his officlal salute. Among those on board were: Secretary Herbert, Messrs. Charles W. Henry, Edwin and Wal ter §. Cramp, the former, though president of the company, making his first trip on a trial of one of his crulsers; Commodore Sel- fridge, Rear Admiral Belknap, ex-Secretary Tracey, General J. R.
