rmrAno, .Inly 12.—Tin* win-nil strike
which wns to have Imth iuuugurat.-d
^nring th** night, to force the arbitra

Aene. of the business paralysis which
has !>een so confidently predicted by

Imnches •coined uudiiuinished.
Of all the trades which had threatened
{ •trike, the seamen, rignrmakers and
■rj**nters were the only unions whieh
•ignifled their intention of stopping
work. Ro|»orfs from these trades were
antiouslr awaited, hut their aetion one
Way or the other was regarded as only a
Itop in the hnekef,
Ad’ording to laltor le;»<|ers, more than
100,000 men in this eitv will !«• out on a

at meetings held by a dozen or more
hiwl miious late during the night, ami

whioh alone controls the destinies in this

MAKES A SPEECH FOR CAPI
TALISTS
He Claims to be a Friend of Organized
Labor But Has a Very Poor
Way of Showing His
Love for Them.
WasHINOToN, July 12 —No Speech
made in tin-halls of congres- for many
years has had tin- effect of arousing the
patriotism of all sections alike, as the
on*-delivered by General .Tohn B. Gor
don, 1'nited States senator from Geor
gia. which was called forth in fin- sen
ate during the consideration of tin- Peffer
resolution.
It was to the effect that all public
functions ought to be exercised through
public agents; that all public functions
ought to lx-brought under one control,
under the su]M-rvision of public officer',
and charges for train trans|xirtation of
M-rsotts aud property throughout' the
tiifcd States ought to lx- uniform and
the wages of employes ought to he regu
lated l*y law ami paid promptly iu
money; that all coal beds ought to lx-
owned ami worked by the government,
and that the wages of employes should
lx- paid in money when due: that all
money Used by flic (tropic ought to lx-
supplied by the government of the
1 nited States, and that flic rate of inter
est ought to he uniform in all states, ami
that all rev ••tines of the government
ought to lx- raised by taxes on real es
tate.
In support ot his resolution. Senator
Peffer had made an extremely socialistic
speech, ami had announced that lie was
in favor of, not only alxilisliing the
I’uited States senate. Inti that he would
east his vote for the wiping out of the
house also. He said that he favored the
government lx-ing redm-cd to ••one man—
not more than one man—from each
state.”
Then Mr. Peffer went on to speak en-
fhusiastirally of the grand spectacle that
would lx- presented when all tin- nn-n of
the country stopped work: when all the
life of th immunities would he at an
absolute and perfeet standstill, like the
fa Sunday morning: when no-
Ixxly would lx- at work; when everv-
thing would he paralyzed and inert.
And that was, he said, what this thing
incanf to the American people. The
time had conic for employers to learn
how to handle the situation by fail-
treatment of their men, and if they
you hi not do that, it was time for the
jx-ople, in their sovereign capacity, to
interfere and say that the thing had
gone far enough—to say • thus far and
no farther.''
Senator Davis, iRepublicaniof Minne
sota. gave General Gordon the cm*,
when, in answering 1’etfer's socialistic
sjx-ech. he -aid as a north* m man he
blushed to challenge a contrast between
the two sections. < )uc was a homoge
neous and the other a divided people.
He blushed to »ay. as a nortlici-u man,
that m* discontent and tin nuarchv could
lx-found south of the Ohio aud tin-Po-
ti mine.
The senator expressed regret to note
flic llallgiTolts tendency of the s|x-eeh of
Senator Petler. and dosed by hoping
that all parties would ix- found < |osel\
allied in theiy etV.nt't<» til ing about the
p-tm-n of la\y and order throughout the
yuunfry.
General Gordon followed the senator
from Minnesota, and spoke a- follows;

New York. July 11.—Tin- World ron-
tains flu-following sensational story of
the reeent history of Eugene V. Debs,
president of the American Railway
union, aud promoter of the great strike
whieh has. for the pay we< ks, brought
•neb serious consequences upon a vast
imnilx-r of industries. The World says;
Is Eugene A . Debs res]xinsihle f« r his
actions, nr, indeed, L any man who
mice stifh red from dipsomania a coin-
jH-ti-nt leafier of his fellow men:
That is a t(ttestion now agitating some
jx-fijilein this city who an- aefjiiainti ii
with the president of the Am. riean Rail
way union itml leader of tin- western
strikers.
Debs canto to New York a few months
ago to lx treated for alcoholism. Jh-
xvas at that time a physical wreck ami.
when under tin- influence of liquor, a
victim of hallucinations. He came with
a letter of inf rod net ion from Colonel
Robert G. Ingi-rsoll to Dr. T. S. Rob
ertson. flic specialist in disorders of the
nervous system, who was at that time
devoting most of his attention fodi'i ases
from excessive use of stimulants. What
Dr. Robertson thinks of Debs's attitude
in the present situation may lx- judge I
from the following telegram which h--
sent last Thursday evening tohi.- former
patient:
As your friend and plu 'ician. I itnplm-i*
you to stop where you are. The (-oud it it in
t>f your nervous system and the gr-at
strain upon it make you ii rt-'|ioiisilile tor
your own orders.
Yours in friendship, T. S. I!.
To this telegram Dr. Robertson has
revived no reply. He said that Debs
had been treated for neurasthenia - nerve
weakness—ami dipsomania, and that he
was practically a physical wreck w hen
he came here for treatment from the
west. At that time Debs had visited a
brother-in-law living some where on
Lexington avenue, and had been areoiu-
S allied by his wife, whom Dr. Robertson
escribed as a charming woman, devoted
toiler husband. Dr. Robertson, while
loth ft* speak of a former patient. ~aid
that lie had sent the telegram not only
ill the interest of Debs, but believing
that ir would hasten the . ml of the pi-. -,
cut excitement.
"The continuous strain to whieh he i«
pubjected.” said Dr. Robertson, "eat not
but affect his nervous .'y.'tem and the
.soundness of his judgment. In monr nt-
of exeiti-menf he is liable to he earri '-l
away by Ids own etithusia-in. and his
judgment of men and affair.' ti- <■' --arily
must lx- mistaken."
"What was his eomlition when ho
came to New York
"He was all broken dow n." replied
Dr. Robertson. "He was suffering from
nervous prostration as t result ot e\i . >-
sive use of stiumlauts. lie was earnest
ly desirous of reforming, and In- cheer
fully submitted to treatment. At the
end of a month In- appeared to lx- cured,
and he returned to tin- west. Some
mouths ago I received a letter from him
saying the <-we had been ix-ruiam-ut up
to that time. D* •hs sirttek inc a - a man
of very high intelligence iu his lucid
moments. He was. however, li!!. d w it h
enthusiasm for the cause of labor, and
lie had the most optimistic views of tie-
future. He told me all about his work
in editing a lalx>r paper, and appeared
to Ix-long to any nuinher of societies.
T’nqucstionably the man was iue-i- in
all he said aud did. hut lii- sanguine
teiu|ieraim-nt and tlie ainoitnt of w< irk lie
]iut iijxin himself finally led to tin u e
of stimulant', ami these taken iu i \--e-s,
brought on nervous prostration."
"Is In* a nan of sound judgment
