GRADUATE OF THE CHLORIDE OF GOLD >tloM Sprung By the Announcement. Thnt the Oreat Labor Leader la a Habitual Drinker, Tbo* an Alomnns of Gold Cure. New York, July 11.—There is a jfrave suspicion abroad that Eugene V. Debs, the man directly responsible (or all the industrial disorder of the day, is not mentally sound. A few months ago. Debs came tx> Now York to be treated for dipsomania. He was a physical wreck at the time and his mind was in such a chaotic state from drink that he was subject to hal lucinations. Debs came with a letter of introduc tion from Robert G. Ingersoll to Dr. T. 8. Robertson. 28 East Twentieth street, a specialist in diseases of the uenroui system. ■rocs* y. nine. He was treated for neurasthenia and dipsomania, and at the end of a month returned to the west apparently cured. On Thursday of last week, Dr. Rob ertson haring noticed with alarm the actions of Debs, sent him the following dispatch: “As your friend and physician, I im plore you to stop where you are. The condition of your nerrous system and the great strain upon it make you irre sponsible for your own orders. “Yours In friendship, T. S. R.” No reply was received to this dispatch Whe asked by a reporter to speak of Debs, Dr. Robertson said that the con tinuous strain to which he is subjected cannot but affect his nervous system and the soundness of his judgment. G“ln moments of excitement he is lia ble to be carried away by his own en thusiasm. and his judgment of men and affairs necessarily must be mistaken.” Dr. Robertson added that when Debs called upon him he was suffering from nervous prostration as a result of exces sive use of stimulants. He was earn estly desirous of reforming, and he cheerfully submitted to treatment. A dispatch from Terre Haute says that Debs is a graduate of a good cure institute and president of one of the “alumni associations.” Since his “graduation" he has been on occasional “sprees.” PLEADS SELF DEFENSE. Young McDonald, Who Murdered the Ital ian, Tells Why He Shot. Atlaxta, July 11.—Young McDonald, who killed the Italian on the streets yesterday, pleads self-defense, saying that the murdered man was following him with intent to kill him. It is stated that a number of persons noticed be fore the shooting that McDonald was being followed. Mike Vontano, the murdered man, was a sculptor from Augusta and was shot through the heart by Hersehel McDonald, a seven teen year old boy, at 11 o'clock. The shooting occurred on Nelson street, just across the bridge. Vontano and McDon ald were walking along Nelson street, the latter in front, quarrelling, when suddenly McDonald stepped off the sidewalk, drew a pistol from his hip pocket and fired one shot at Vontano. Vontano reeled and fell face downward, but seeming to recover, staggered to his feet. He walked perhaps ten feet when he fell again, the blood pouring from an ugly wound in his left side. Vantano was picked up and carried to the perch of No. 58 Nelson street. All efforts to get him to talk proved in vain, and he died in five minutes. Von tano was a typical Italian. He was a large man weighing 200 pounds. On the lapel of his vest were emblems of the Oddfellows and Masons. TirOUBLE AT BLUEFIELDS.

In Sympathy With Organized Labor, Bat OppuMt Mob Violence. Washington, July 10.—Senator Gor don, of Georgia, commander-in-chlaf of the L nited confederate veterans, was asked, on his return from a recent trip south, what he had to say about the great strike, looking at it from a south ern standpoint. He replied: I have nothing to any about it from a southern standpoint, but I have something to say aa — e American citizen. There is nothing peculiar in a southern view of the situ ation unless the fact that the southern people to a man are for law and order be peculiar. My sympathies are end always have been strongly enlisted for the laboring classes. They have as much right to organias for their pro tection and Improvement at capital has for its protection and- interest, but mob law, mob rule and mob violeeee cannot be tolerated in this country.

General Gordon was asked what he thought would be the result. He replied: “I cannot predict. The situation is serious. I hope the matter may be settled without more bloodshed. But one thing is certain, the law will be enforced and the public peace pre served. The courts, the militia of the states and the standing army will prob ably suffice for this purpose, but if not there will be no necessity of increasing the standing army, for every law abid ing citizen in this country, from one end of it to the other, will volunteer If need be to sustain the constituted au thorities of .the land in upholding the law.” THE TEACHERS ADJOURN. Major Bob Guinn, of Atlanta, Was Elaetad PrzzISaat- Bbvnswick, July 7.—The teachers' convention, which has been in session for the past four days on Cumberland Island, adjourned yesterday. The sessions have been entertaining and instructive, many interesting and scholarly lectures and talks having been made.

About fifty persons went out from Paris to the speaking, and most of them were furnished conveyances free.

Rome, Oa., July 7.—The strike out west has affected Rome so far as supplies are concerned in meats, lard and grain. The grocers are complaining of the scarcity of the necessaries in this line, and un less transportation can be resumed in a week there will be precipitated a real grain, meat and lard famine in this city. Armour's representatives and grain brokers In Rome are powerless to fill ths many orders given them daily for •uppliee and the people will have to wait In patience.

Coadlttoua Matarlalij Improved ee the Tract a« La lea a* cl Kalffhte of Labor etrlkaa are Called Probable Effect of tha Mevamaei. Chic ago, Jely 11.—The plan of the labor leaders today it to eell out first all organised labor in Chiongo, and then to proceed from town to town until the whole country is paralyzed, or Pullman gives in. The immediate effect on Chi cago, If all trades obey the strike, will be to throw from 50,000 to 100,000 per sons out of employment. Ae to the strike in general outside of Chicago, it may be said that yesterday’s dispatches were almost uniform In ten or to the fact that normal conditions had already been restored, or that they were rapidly approaching that state, and there seems no reason to suppose the progress toward a complete resump tion of trade and traffic will meet with any serious character as the coming days shall succeed each other. In other worda, it does not seem possible, with all the forces of law and order as now arrayed,'with the leader by his own de fense at the bar of justice, with their ranks beginning to be depleted by de sertions and with the strain which have already endured, that the American railway union can rally its forces, for a struggle must ueeds be long and dis couraging at the least. Apparently, therefore, their only hope of triumph lies in the aid which they expect to get from union labor outside of their organ ization. The order for all classes of labor in Chicago to go on strike today and that of Grand Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of labor, celling on all the members to strike, and all who sympa thise with the Pullman strikers all ovsr ths country to come out with them may have a different effect. How generally these orders will be obeyed is problem atical. To a good extent their ef fect has been already discounted by the stagnation of business and it Is known that some of the longest headed of the labor leaders themselves believe that action has been postponed too long to be fully effective. At sunset today this nation will prob ably know whether the situation is one of crisis or collapse. DEBS' MESSAGES EXPOSED. Vhs Westers tlatoe Forced bj tha Court to ■(aka Theai Public. CaicAgo, July 11.—Yesterday after noon E. M. Mulford. manager of the Western Union telegraph company was called before the federal grand jury to produce telegrams sent by President Debs. He refused, on the ground that they were privilege communications. He was notified by Judge Uroescuy to appear with th* telegrams. He again objeoted, and referred the matter to the general attorney of the company. Tha matter was under long consideration and the company's attorney sought on every legal provision at his command to avoid the process on the same point made by manager Mulford—that the eommunications were privileged, and in theicuatody of the company, aa such. Judge Grosscup's notice was imperative, however, with the word that unless the telegrams were produced Manager Mul ford would be sent to jail. Evasion being impossible, the telegrams were produced in court at 8:30 p. m. The general attorney was in his office in New York and the consultation be tween the Western Union officials was all by wire. H. J.

Th* senate spent three hours in debate open the resolution offered Monday by the populist senator from Kansas, Mr. Peffer, looking to government control of Interstate railroads, the regulation of their freight and passenger rates, the wages of railroad employes, the acquisi tion and operation, either by the fede ral government or by the state govern ments, of all th* ooal beds of the coun try, and to many of the peculiar ideas of the populist party. As was to be ex pected, the great railroad strike at Chicago was the ehief topic in the de bate. In a speech of over an hour and a half, Mr. Peffer stated the case from the Debs or strikers point of view, and laid all the blame for the outbreak on Mr. Pullman, whom he charactered as soulless, conscienceless and tyranni cal. The Cause at Law aad Order. The cause of law and order and of the maintenance of free and unolwtructed Intercourse by railroad communication was championed by^euators Davis, re publican, of Minnesota, and Gordon, of Georgia. A substitute for the Peffer resolution was offerer),by Senator Dan iel, democrat, of Virginia, upholding and commending the action of the pres ident and his cabinet, and then after some remarks by ftenator Daniel and by Senator Stewart, populist, of Ne vada, the whole subject went over till today. In the last two hours of the session, the post office appropriation Mil and th* house bill for the admission of Utah as a state were passed, the former with very little friction and the latter with out any at all—even without the yeas and nays being called upon its passage.
