TRAINMEN RESTLESS, Gome Probability of a General Strike on the Santa Fe System. It May Be.?in a Fig-lit Between Railroads and Organized Labor. Gov. Lewellino: Will Not Fur nish Troops to Protect Railway Property. Mysterious Conference of Brotherhood Engineers Held at Toledo. TOPKKA, Kau., April IS.-A sensation of considerable magnitude waa created here this afternoon, when it was noised about on the, streets that a general strike of all the trainmen on the Santa Fe system was impending* and would occur tomorrow. The slight in formation obtainable indicated thai the strike would probably not occur tomor row, but that the difficulty was far from a settlement It was discovered that a joint committee appointed last nijjht by the live organiz ations of trainmen this afternoon called upon John Player, superintendent of machinery, and requested him to in form them whether it was true that the company had decided to annul as soon as possible all contracts with the organizations tiiey represented, and make no new ones. The com mittee stated it had been informed that this was the case, and inti mated that unless Mr. Player returned a satisfactory answer tnat all he trainmen on the system would strike at noon tomorrow, in order that the recognition heretofore granted their organizations by the railroads be con tinued. Mr. Player said that the com pany would surely respect all contracts in force with all trainmen's organiza tions. Whether the men consider this answer satisfactory it is difficult to tell, as they were very reticent on the sub ject. The Trainmen's OrcanizaSioii* will meet aeain tonUrht to receive the reports ot the committee. Whether the strike will be ordered will depend upon the report of this committee. Judging from the meager information at hand it would appear that the strike will prob ably not take place tomorrow, but that the difficulty is by no means settled. The trouble all arose over the pub lication of a statement that the railroad presidents at their recent meeting in Chicago had entered into an agreement to annul all existing contracts with members of labor or ganizations and to not renew them. The men were also Informed that the fight upon them was to be began by the Santa Fe, which would receive encour agement and aid it necessary from the other roads to briii£ the tight to a successful termination. The trainmen decided to take the initiative and ask tiie company directly whether the re port was true, determining to enforce a continuance oC their recognition as a labor organization by a striKe if neces sary. The outcome will be determined by the committee's report, "in speaking of the strike on the Santa Fe road, a railroad man today voiced the following significant opinion: A Test of Strength. "The strike inaugurated here a wpek ago was thebeeinningof a trouble which is to test the relative strength of the railroads snul organized labor all over the country. It is now Use understand ing among the men that tlie real reason the contract was not sisrned by the Santa Fe was on account of an aijreee ment recently entered into by the gtn} eral managers and presidents' associ ation of ail the railroads in the country to sign no more contracts with organ ized labor, as they said, for their own protection." General Manager Frey was seen, bat he refused to either deny or affirm the strikers' opinion. He said: "I am not a member of the genera! managers' association, and have never attended any of their meetings, ana I do not know anything about this mat ter." .Another strike of no small proportion is being inaugurated on the Santa Fe for tomorrow or next day. The Broth erhood of Shop Employes has a grievance now which it is trying to settle, and if unsuccessful the men say they will strike Thursday. Their trouble comes through the abus ive language of a foreman towards his men iv the yards at Argentine. A lead ing man in the Brotherhood ot Shop Employes' order s;ud this morning that there was a certain foreman who had been in the habit of drinking during working hours, and abused workmen to such an extent that two of them retal iated, when they were discharged. The grievance committee, lie said, had asked for on investigation of the foreman's action by the officials of the road, but nothing had b:.'en done. He said the men had fully decided to strike tomor row, or not later than Thursday, if the TORTURING ECZEMA Editor lowa Plain Dealer Cured of Insufferable 1 Khiiiii and Pain by ihr 4 uiiciirit Uemedies.

It rapidly ex tended over the lower extremities until my legs were nearly one raw sore; from legs the trouble extended across the hips, shoulders and the entire length of the arms, the legs and arms greatly swollen, with an itching, burning pain, without cessation. Although the best medical advice attainable was em ployed, no less than live physicians of the place being consulted and the prescriptions being the result of their combined wisdom, the disease, tnough apparently checked, would recur in a few days as bad as ever: during its progress my weight fell away about twenty-five pounds.

TOLEDO, 0., April 18.—Twenty seven members of the advisory oard of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers are In the city today and have held one secret session. What they are here tor nobody has as yet been able to find out,' although rumors are plenty. The most general and reasonable sur mise is that they are to settle the question of a general strike on the Lake Shore in case their demand for the rein statement of the eight strikers tried m the United States court a few weeks apo is refused. The men refuse abso lutely to tluow any light on the sig nificance of their presence la Toledo, and general orders have been issued to every member of the board not to tdve out "a particle of information. No attempt has been made to confer with the railroad officials, who are also ignorant of the real cause of the gath ering. It is admitted on all sides, now* ever, that the meeting is only the be ginning of a general campaign of de fense or attack upon the railroads, and it is more than likely that if the Lake Shore refuses to reinstate the strikers, they will have any amount of trouble with the brotherhood. The Ann Arbor men have also had a confer ence with .Manager Ashley, with a view to securing the return of the Ann Arbor strikers to the service of the road, but Mr. Ashley has refused posi tively to take them back save under the old proviso that th«y present their ap plications in the regular way and allow the officials to act upon them as they see lit.

He has placed all arrangements for his visit to the review in the hands of Secretary Herbert, and as Mr. Her bert has the interest of the naval ball at heart, it is likely that he will arrange for Mr. Cleveland to go there. This is as near a positive statement as cau be obtained on this matter. Cat Parallel Gashes. Kalkaska, Mich., April 18.— John M.

How It Once Allowed a Dog to Shake It Severely by ' the Neck. The Nature of the Ferocious Animal Is Cowed by Its Master. X. Biedler. a few weeks before lie died, was sitting in one of the card rooms of the Silver Dow cluO, Uutte City, Mont., talking about mountain lions. He said ii was true you couldn't tame them. 1 said there was a man down in the Yellowstone country, near Livingston, who trapped a good deal in the mountains, and he had what he called a tame lion, says a writer in the New York Tribune. "How tame was it?" asked X., do biousiy, and I had to admit that there was a question of degree in the case. The beast was about two and a half years old. The trapper, whose name was Skit, caught a mother lion and two cubs, and this creaturb was one of the cubs. He had killod the mother for her skin, and also because she wasn't an agreeable thing t o have around. The other cub had died on his hands, and this one, just fcrthe fun of the thing, he had undertaken to educate. When anybody dropped iv to see him, Skit would bring out ln« lion and put her through a course of exercises. They were inter esting enough, but they made you feel queer at times, and you found the rafter that ran across Skit's cabin de cidedly the best place from which to view the performance. Skit would bring the beast in from a dug-out, where he kept her chained. With the lion he would bring an enor mous Siberian dog, between whom and the lion there appeared to be a sort of mutually fearful friendship. The dog was a magnificent creature, and as en tirely under Skit's control as if he were a piece of machinery and Skit a master mechanic. In his hand Skit would hold a whip with a long and startling cracker, and he would manipulate the whip during the performance, producing a constant succession of noises for all the world like the reports of a rifle. The lion growled constantly and seemed under an intense excitement. She was afraid of Skit, afraid of the whip, and to some extent, afraid of tiie dog, but it seemed to me as 1 watched the show that she was also in a kind of trance. Her eyes glowed with a steady flame, but without a particle of expression. It was her reckless walk, her dreadful growl that never ceased a moment, an occasional savage bark, a long, low moan, and now and then a wild, shrill outcry, and, most of all, the motion of her tail that revealed her intensely fierce and malignant disposition. She stood about as high as a Newfoundland dog, and was about as long as a horse. She kept her tail, which was at least three feet long, extended in the shape of the letter S, stiffly out from her body, and the only motion she imparted to it was just at ilie tufted end. This seemed to have a personality of its own, audit woula move in short Baxa bolas, milking the figure of an hour glass. Every nerve in her body through out the penormance was in a constant quiver. Skit insisted that she was not dangerous, and that he had net under perfect control, but within three min utes after the show began 1 had scarcely the remotest hove of getting out of the room alive. I expected every minute to see the beast make a spring at Skit's throat, and tear the man into shreds, and what hope i had resided in the thought that she might turn her atten tion to the dog next, and get tired out before she came to me. 1 had a good sized gun in my pocket, and 1 kept it where 1 could use it at a second's notice. But Skit did not seem in the least afraid. To be sure, he kept his eyes lixed directly on the beast's without ever once removing them, ami he made that whip sound out at intervals of only a few seconds. The dog did his part in a perfectly frolicsome way, aa if he thought it a huge joke aud relished it accordingly. "Sit down, Kitty!" yelled Skit, crack ing the whip. Kitty sat down. "Shake hands!" Kitty held out her paw and Skit took it and gave it a vigor ous shake, which 1 wouldn't have done for all the gold in the Kocky mountains, for the beast was growling like a fieud. "Now, W.Vs take a walk!" Skit held out his arm, she put her paw upon it, and walking on her hind legs, they moved together twice around the room. Then Skit sent her off into a corner and made her lie down, and told the dog to co and snake her. Duke— that was the dog's name— bounded blithely across the room, grabbed the snarling lion by the back of the neck, and shook her vigorously for fully a minute. Once she gave a nasty little bark, and then 1 knew the end was coming— but it didn't. Duke paid no attention to her. and gave up shaking only when his master called him off. Then he wagged his tail ami ably, and sat down. Skit brought the lion into the center of the room and made her stand still while Dukb got upon her back. This process was attended with some diffi culty, for the dog rolled off three times, and on each occasion she whisked her head around at him and made one of the most unearthly noises mortal ears have ever heard. But at last he fixed himself firmly on her back, catching her about the neck with his teeth, and then Skit sent her trotting around the room. This part of the show was concluded by a series of springs, each clearing the entire space across the room. At last Duke fell and ran to his corner. Ap parently he had had enough. Then came the most wonderful thing of all. Skit produced from a corner a huge chunk of bloody meat, at the sight of which she gave a series of terrific cries. He sent her to her corner and set the meat down in the center of the room. There he proceeded to cut it into half a dozen strips. When this had been done he told her to come ou, and with one bound 9he was at it, but before she had quite touched the meat he gave a sav age order. "Stop!" and cracked the whip loudly. She did stop, but with what tremendous excitement! Skit made her stand up. He called the dog and Dade him take a piece of meat and put it ou her uose. Duke did exactly as he was bid. lie took the meat in his mouth, and as she held up her head he laid it directly on her nose. It stayed there a full minute, she growling wildly. Skit watching her intently and cracking his whip, and the dog sitting ftaaEßaking UiliaPowder The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. — No Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions of Homes — 40 Years the Standard. on his haunches, a picture of indiffer ence. "Now take It away.Duke!" Skit cried. She knew what that m«nnt, and barked again, but made no further resistance, as the dog took it and calmly proceeded to eat it. Then Skit bade him take a second piece and do the same thing. After It had remained for what seemed to me an ace on her nose, just where it must have tantalized her horribly, Skit said the word "Now!" and in an in finitesimal: fraction of a second she had it in her mouth. At this point 1 begged Skit to call oil' tin* show. 1 had been as much of a tame mountain lion as 1 was in a mood to see. He let her eat the re maining nieces in quiet, and led her away when she had done to her dug-out cage. A BIBLE STORY. The Mistake of a Bell Boy Causes Commotion in a Hotel. Chicago Inter Ocean. Ail earthquake or a lire could not have caused much greater commotion and excitement ac the Great Northern than did the simple mistake of a bell boy. A gentleman has been ill for some days in what is called, in the technique of the house, "I 35." This means Koom No. 35 on the I floor. He rang the bell for a boy yesterday morning, and told him that he was ill and to have a barber sent to his room. The invalid thought the young negro messenger manifested more excitement than the simple re quest called for, and he thought cor rectly. The boy, instead of telephoning down stairs as usual, ran all the way down to the "captain" and shouted: ••pe man in 1 35 wants the Bible sent to his room." "Wants what?" "De Bible." "The Bible?" "l'es, that's what I said; what the preacher reads from." Tue captain passed the word on to Clerk Raidt. Mr. Uaidt is accustomed to respond ing quickly to every demand that is made, but for once in his career as a hotel man he was nonplussed. "A Bible!" he repeated, "man in I 35 wants a Bible! Miss ," he said to the cashier, "have you got a Bible?" "At home," she replied. In this hour of perturbation he forgot his noliteni'sa and shouted: "What goodwill that do a sick man at the Great Northern?" He sent one boy to the barber shop, one to the bar room and one to the young lady typewriter. No one had a Bible: Just then Mr. Eden came in. His foresight had provided for everything but a Bible, aud to his intense relief lie saw Mr. Hurlbutjippioaching. "Mr. Hurlbut," be said, "a gentleman upstairs wants a Bible." "A what?" "A Bible." "Spell it." "A B-i-b-1-e." ••Well, that's the best joke I've heard for a year; come, let's have someth— "No," replied Mr. Eden; "tliis is no joke. I'm in earnest. The gentleman is sick aud wants a Bible." "He must be dying," said Mr. Hurl but; "better get a preacher.too. Where's the directory. Here, boy, take this aud find a preacher." In the meantime Mr. Eden had dis patched a boy to the nearest book store to buy a Bible. But before he returned an imperative demand came from the gentleman in I 35 to hurry up, that he was tired wailing. Mr. Eden sprang into one elevator, Mr. Hurlbut into another, and bell boys were dispatched in various directions to beg, borrow or steal a Bible. One of them ran into Commissioner Wickersham's room and told him of the exigency. All he could find was a bound copy of 8t John's Epistle. He gave it to the boy, and bade him fly. The boy rushed into the invalid's room. "Here's the Tistle of St. John, sah. all we could find, but Mas' Eden, he's sent out for de whole Bible." "Bible!" snouted the invalid; "what the h — ■ do I want with a Bible? I want a barber." Just then he saw how the mistake had occurred, and when his physician. Dr. Tallman, came into ihe room, he thought his patient had jumped from pneumonia to apoplexy. While the doctor was using all his skill to quiet him, tearful ot the conse quences to one so weak, Mr. Eden rushed In with a new Bible as big as Webster's unabridged dictionary. After putting Mr. Edeu out in the hall. Dr. Mailman remained with his patient the rest of the day. But there is an interesting sequel to all this local commotion. When the boy weut to the store to buy a Bible he related something of the circumstances. A lady member of the Chicago Tract society was standing near and heard him. At 5 o'clock last evening a consignment of 500 small Bibles was sent to Hurlbut and Eden by the tract society, with the polite request that one be placed in each room. Hereafter the guests of the Great Northern will tind a Bible chained somewhere in the room. So good comes out of evil. A Crane Chased by a Cyclone. Sedalia Bazoo. Six miles south of Sedalia a singular cyclonic phenomenon was visible. A small cloud was noticed in the north west, moving in a southeasterly direc tion, whirling and twisting like a writh ing serpent. Immediately in front of the cloud was a monster crane, which was being borne along by the force be hind it and in apparent enjoyment of the situation until it encountered a tree and was killed, and the tree snapped in twain an instant later. ««CB In Chicago.
