The union held a long session to-day, ! during which Chris Merchant, an employ- | ing butcher at 25 Sixth street, S8an Fran- | eisco, made a speech, declaring that the | fight between the Butchers’ Board of | Trade and the Western Meat Company | was at an end and that during the strike | the latter had been delivering beef to | known members of the board of trade against which the Western Meat Com- pany had been battling for nearly ten cars. Merchant announced that he had union- ized his shop. “I am out of the board,” he declared, ‘and 1 am with the union, and if you go down I'll go down with you.” | The union has, unionized several shops { Guring the day and claims there will be | at least twenty open to-morrow displaying | the union-sign. There was a disturbance at Fred Beck- | er's lower Washington-street market this morning when a crowd gathered hooting | and jeering at the driver of Miller & Lux's | delivery team that had brought a load of beef from San Francisco. Some bad eggs { were thrown, but the trouble was soon over, This morning four union shops were running in Oakland and one in Berkeley. All of them had beef from outside the stockyards. About 100 head of-cattle have been received by the union retailers from the interfor. Two slaughter houses are being run by union journeymen, they claim, the location being closely guarded. W. G. Miller, Mohr & Milnthrop, Mun- son & Lohry and Breiling Bros. have been uricnized, the strikers returning to work at each shop. 7 The press committee of the local union say Concerning _ the statement of Attorney Frohman of the wholesalers, there is only one true utferance in it. That is that the strike | was caused on account of the union cards. All the retailers had agrced to our demands and to those who desired union cards the cards were issued. Then the wholesale butchers went to work, and by threatening the with- drawal of trade relations tried to force down | what cards were up. At that time in 9 | shops out of 115 shops in Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley, the card was up. To save these 8§ cards prompt action was Decessary and it was then and only then that we demanded a unfon card in every shop. The wholesalers maintain confidence that they wili win. They assert their abil- | ity to supply their customers with all the | meat recuired. The fight here now hinges | on the result in San ¥rancisco. |" HOSTLERS MAY QUIT WORK.

This afternoon the Thirteenth-street stables, the Nevada stables and the Thir- feenth-avenue stables acceded to the de- mands of the men. The officers of the union are confident that practically all the employers will sign rather than risk a strike.

His illness took a serious turn two, weeks ago, blood- poisoning having set in from the ampu- tation of his right leg in February. Two years ago Mr. McCleverty was thrown from a buggy in a runaway accident, sus- taining severe injuries. His right knee was hurt so badly that after a year and a half of much suffering he consented to the surgical operatton. But his general system was so run down that the shock and subsequent complications were too se- vere. Deceased pioneer was born in Canada fifty-seven years ago.

After engaging in several enterprises he established, in 1865, the Pa- cific stables, then at Third street and Broadway. His early business associates were Denis Holland and Oscar Holland. Subsequently he moved to 868 Broadway. where, with the late Robert Noblett, the Fashion stables were opened. Mr. Mo- Cleverty acquired the Noblett interests after his partner's death and had con- ducted the stables since then. In politics Mr. McCleverty was always a leader among his Democratic brethren. In 1882 he was elected Sheriff of Alameda €ounty on the Democratic ticket, serving one term. His election was a tribute to his strong personal following, because the county has always been overwhelmingly a Republican stronghold. A marked char- acteristic of deceased was the high stand- ard of his business and social life. He was highly esteemed because of a sturdy honesty. During_his long illness Mr. McCleverty was much worried about his business. He had always given close personal attention to it and his desire to be about contrib- uted in some measure to the serious turn his trouble took. Deceased leaves a wife and a son, Charles C.

ROME, June 14.—In the Chamber of| Deputies to-day Signor Prinetti, Minister of Foreign Affairs, made a long speech in explanation of the Government's foreign policy. He deciared fhat every effort was being made to render the relations be- tween Italy and the Latin-American states, whither most Italian emigrants went, cordlal, adding that the tin- American states had a brilliant future. Regarding China Signor Prinetti said nothing remained but to determine the methog of paying the indemnity, the amount of which had been fixed. Italy, he announced, would abstain for the present from any modification of the tarlrr, so as not to throw difficulties in the way of renewing the commercial treaties with Ger‘manK and Austria. He emphasized Italy’s adhesion to the triple alliance. . “Year by vear,” he continued, “the triple alliance has proved its pacifical check, while not adding to Italy’s mili- tary expenditure and not preventing cor- mai’commerclal relations with France, as has been plainly manifested by the dem- onstration at Toulon.” He then declared in favor of the pres- ervation of the status quo in the Tripoll religions, and asserted that there was no reagon to antleipate any disturbance of the balance of power in the Mediterra- nean. In the course of an eloquent pero- ration he expressed the greatest confi- dence and hopefulness as to the future of Italy.

Block of Stock Amounting to 825,000,000 Said to Have Changed Hands. PSS . Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June 14.—Wall street’s re- eent speculative inactivity received a sud- den impulse to-day when the news leaked out that important and far-reaching plans were quietly being worked out in connec- tion with the harmonization of the great railroad systems of the West. It is au- thoritatively learned that steps have been taken by Union Pacific interests to acquire a representation in the board of directors of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, and in this way these interests hope to acquire a voice in the direction of the latter road’s affairs, and it is re- ported that such representation has been secured. This step is in line with the plans made some months ago, which were interrupt- ed for the time by the quarrel over the control of the Northern Pacijic. Wall street took it for granted that the Union Pacific was planning to absorb the St. Paul in the same manner as the Bur- lington passed under. control of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern. There were explicit denials made on this point, however, from the best authorities, who stated that no idea of this nature was entertained. The one positive basis for the numerous reports is the fact that negotiations have been practically concluded whereby a large block of stock will be transferred to the financial interests which have been identified in the past with the Union Pa- cific Railroad. Statements copcerning the sale of a block of stock amounting to $25,000,000 are now said to have some foundation in fact GIVEN PURSE FOR TRIP TO LANDP OF HIS BIRTH Alumni, Faculty and Citizens Honor Principal McChesney of the Oaklang High School.

FORT MORGAN, Colo., June 14.—As a result of a daring jall break here last night from the Morgan County jail Sher- ift A. J. Calvert is lying at death’s door and his assailant, Harry' Simington, alias Frank Gibson, who was a prisoner, is at large with a posse numbering fully 100 men looking for him. On opening the door. leading into the jail Calvert was shot in the face by Simington, who had secured a revolver and ammunition from the Sheriff’s desk yesterday when allowed the freedom of the jail corridor. Another prisoner, George Smith, who attempted to escape at the time Simington did, was driven back into the jail at the point of a gun by Deputies Russell and Baker. At a meeting of the County Commis- sioners this morning a reward of §200 was offered for the capture of Simington. A mass meeting of citizens was also held and the reward was increased to $300.

CLEVELAND, June 14.—George Balrd, local cashier for the New York Life In- surance Company, committed suicide last night by inhaling illuminating gas in his German, Russian and Austro-Hungarian Embassadors were present. The Kkeenest interest was displayed. Signor Prinetti asserted that neither Austria nor Italy would attempt to obtain the upper hand in Albania. He denled that there was any coolness in the relations ' between Great Britain and Italy, and gave it to be understood. that Great Britain would assist_Italy in opposing any interference with Italian interests in the Mediterra- nean, and that Italy would only renew the triple alliance provided she could ob- tain advantageous commercial treaties.
