TAPPING TilK WIRES.
The striking organizations gather more
strength from hour to hour, and tho strike
will in all probability involve most, if not all
the lines of traffic in the North, East and
West.
Freight conductors, firemen and brake-
men on tho Now York Central at Syracuse
have joined in tho strike, the strikers de
tailing men from their own body to protect
property. They warn off outsiders,
tramps and Communists, and
stranger hailing from New York, who ap
peared among them and advised the burn
ing of ihe buildings of the company,
compelled to flee for his life to the woods.
On the New Jersey Central the engineers
have decided not to run with green hands,
which practically operates as a stoppage of
traffic on that road.
Six hundred regulars, under Gen. Hamil
ton, have arrived at Heading, Pa., where,
although all is quiet iu the city, the strikers
have virtual possession of the railroad.
Governor Ilartranft has arrived at Pitts
burg and issued a proclamation. If pro
clamations could put an end to the trouble,
tho matter would have been settled some
days ago.
A general cessation of travel on the
Morris and Essex and the New Jersey Cen
tral Roads is expected.
The pork packers and coopers of 8t.
Louis have joined tho strikers.
In Kansas City the strike is complete,
and the workmen in the shops have been
compelled to quit, and labor of all kinds
has been suspended.
All the roads at Terra Haute, Ind., are in
undisputed control of the strikers.
In San Francisco the roughs continue
their demonstrations against the Chinese,
and have burned a half dozen houses in
different parts of the city.
At Louisville the demonstration of the
mob was peculiarly violent and destructive.
They attacked tho windows of dwellings,
broke the street lamps and smashed the
doors and windows of the Louisville, Nash
ville and Great Southern Railroad, and also
of tho Pullman Southern Car Company.
They attacked tho house of Mayor Jacobs
and of Dr. E. D. Standford, President of
the Louisville, Nashville and Great South
ern Railroad. They were scattered by a
body of policemen, who fired over the beads
of the mob. The damage done cannot be
estimated. Arms and ammunition are ex
pected from Frankfort, and great excite
ment prevails in the city.
The Mayor of St. Louis has published a
proclamation warning all persons to desist
from violence, and declaring non-interfer
ence between the strikers and the railroad
companies.
A committee of safety has been organized
in St. Louis under the direction of Gen. A.
J. Smith, Judge Thomas J. Garret, Gen.
Jno. M. Marmaduko and others.
Preparations are being made for the mass
meeting in New York, which was called for
Wednesday night at Tompkins’ square, and
a Communist, Justus Schwaab, presided at
tho preliminary meeting. Addresses were
made to tho effect that if the military or
police appeared at the meeting there would
be trouble, and the President was ordered
to communicate the same to tho Mayor and
the Police Commissioners. One hundred
special police, members of the meeting,
were sworn in to protect the meeting and
keep order. Trouble is anticipated.
The rails have been removed from the
Erie track at Chemung bridge.
The President of the Locomotive Brother
hood has stated that the Brotherhood is not
connected with the strike, and though they
sympathize with the strikers, his advice to
them has been not to jeopardize their lives
or compromise their manhood.
Tho news from the Russo-Turkish war
has been overlooked in the great war be
tween labor and capital nearer home. How
ever, important events have taken place in
tho past few days.
A heavy battle has been fought between
the Russians and the Turks under Ruof
Pasha at Eski Saghra in which the latter
were badlv defeated with a reported loss of
fifteen thousand killed, wounded and pris
oners.
A battle has been fought at Kalonfer, but
no particulars have reached ua by cable.
A Russian reconnoisance at Plevna dis
covered a force of forty thousand Turks at
tempting to cut the Russian communica
tions. The Grand Duke Nicholas hastily
collected a superior force and routed them.
We Must Hare no Strike at Home.
A rumor has been in circulation for the
past few days that the] Central Railroad
authorities had given notice of their in
tention to reduce the wages of certain
classes of their employes. From what
wo can learn, unofficially, such is the
case, and the proposed reduction is to
take place on the 1st of September,
proximo.
Now while it is not the custom of the
Mobning News to interfere with the
affairs of private corporations, on such
an occasion as this we, feel that to be
silent would be criminal.
The Central Railroad is a home corpo
ration, in which millions of dollars of home
capital are invested. It is also one on
which thousands of our people are de
pendent for a support. In one way or
another, then, all classes of our citizens
are interested in its welfare, and there
fore, our citizens cannot afford to see it
injured. Its employes, too, are our fel
low citizens, many of them born and
bred in Savannah, and are taxpayers and
landholders. They have, in common
with others, suffered from the stringency
of the times, and, for all these reasons, are
entitled to the generous consideration of
the company.
We confess that we cannot see the
necessity for a further reduction of
wages at all, but even if it be allowed
that there is such a necessity, it certainly
seems strange that it should arise on the
first of September, at the commence
ment of our commercial year, and the
very time when our railroads do a flourish
ing business.
We know that the authorities of the
Central Railroad are not given to receiv
ing advice, but we must say that, under
existing circumstances, no action, either
present or prospective, should be such as
to give those in their employ the least
justification for striking. One thing should
be remembered, thac a strike will be an in
jury to the road, and, therefore, through it,
to nearly every man, woman and child in
this community, and it is the solemn duty
of every one to do what he can to pre
vent such a terrible event. We speak
plainly, for this is too important a subject
to be mealy mouthed over.

THE FEELING IN NEW YORK.
TROUBLE ANTICIPATED.
[By Telegraph to the Morning News.]
The case of Senator Grover, of Oregon,
is approaching a settlement, and the
chances are that he will be acquitted. A
leading Republican paper of his State
says that, “looking over the whole ground,
it may be said there is a probability that
money helped to secure his election, but
money was not the hading influence.
The Grover party hoped to carry the
Presidential election, and , Grover’s suc
cess was owing largely to that expecta
tion. Known as an extreme pariisau, it
was believed be would have power with
the Tilden administration to reward all
his friends. Besides, it was a constant
argument that his election was necessary
for the organization, and many wero per
suaded that Or^on would be lost if he
was rejected. This was the rallying cry,
and the pressure of the pending election
for President was the main condition
that made his success at all possible
Even within his own party he is very un
popular. The last time he ran for Gov
ernor he received but 9,713 votes—a
number much less than was thrown for
him when he was first elected to that
office, and nearly 5,000 below that which
Tilden received.”
These sentiments from a Radical pa
per plainly shows that, not only will
Radical hopes of the conviction of Sena
tor Grover be destroyed, but also the
great chagrin which that party feels
thereat.
The National Cotton Exchange, in ses
eion at the Greenbrier White Sulphur
Springs, by a vote of twenty-six to ten
have adopted resolutions setting forth the
vital importance of the early completion
of the Texas Pacific Railroad from Shreve
port, L*., to San Diego, Cal., the insig
nificance of the aid asked by Col. Thos
A Scott, when compared to the impor
tance of this great enterprise, and recom
mending the subject lo the attention of
Congress, and requesting Senators and
Representatives to use their best efforts to
secure the passage at the next session of
Congress of the bill now before th«*t body
granting aid to said Texas Pacific Road.
A resolution favoring the indefinite post*
ment of specie payments was laid on the
table.
Lobbying a Crime.
By reference to our Atlanta correspon
dence, it will be seen that the convention
has made lobbying a crime in this State.
This is another step in the right direc
tion, and one which redounds greatly to
the honor of the State of Georgia. Lob
bying has long become to be simply an
other name for bribery, and of late years
has done as much to disgrace the United
States as a government, as anything else.
In Washington, during the sessions of
Congress, there have always been pres
ent, in large crowds, professional lobby
ists—men who, openly and above board,
declared that they came for the purpose of
engineering certain measures through
that body. Aud what was the usual mode
of procedure ? It was by the lavish ex
penditure of money, aud either by giving
expensive entertainments to members,
and thereby putting them under obliga
tions which could only be cancelled by a
vote, or by directly approaching a Con
gressman and offering to buy his vote
outright.
Unfortunately, too many were to be
found ready to discard their duty to their
constituents and country, and to enter
into such bargains, and no wonder that
when investigating committees were set
to work, it was found out that many and
many a member had been guilty of ac
cepting tribes, and no wonder such in
famies as the Credit Mobilier and Pacific
mail subsidy are matters which history
records to our eternal shame.
But so common had the system become
that the lobbyist did not confine his at
tention to the larger jobs. He conde
scended to engage in anything which
promised him any advantage, and so
accustomed had the people of the country
become to such infamous proceedings that
they really gave them but little thought.
Hence it became a very usual thing for
men, who were experts at the business,
and understood the better how to gain
control of a Congressman’s vote, to be
given large sums and dispatched to the
national capital with the simple and only
object in view of indulging in a game of
downright wholesale bribery.
This action of Georgia, then, will be a
decided rebuke to her enemies who have
taken so much pleasure in maligning her
and her people in the past, and will, be
sides, set an example to the other States
of the Union well worthy of imitation.
By it, she declares distinctly to the world,
through her convention, that she will not
countenance even tho appearance of dis
honesty, and this decision reflects great
credit both upon her, and, through her,
upon the Southern people.
A Pittsburg paper was made highly in
dignant because the State authorities de
clared that city and vicinity to be in a “state
of insurrection.” Considering the liveli
ness of affairs there Saturday and Sun
day, one would imagine that thtre was
considerable ground for the statement.
But how often has the press of that city
applauded when the Southern States have
been declared “in insurrection,” simply
as a pretext for the sending of troops
here for political purposes? Pittsburg
should not grow so indignant over a true
charge, when she has been so eager in the
past to echo so many false ones.
The New York World makes another
good point when it says: “Could we
expect a State like Western Virginia, cut
from that grand old Commonwealth by
Ciesarian operation, the creature of vio
lence and malice, puny and diffilent of
its own rights, to throttle an insurrection
on the first outbreak as it should have
been throttled ? No. There is some
thing like retribution in the prompt pros
tration of this weak invention of legis
lative lawlessness before a mob which the
Old Dominion would have scattered with
a blow.”
Shrinkage of Values.—The following
table, showing the depreciation in lead

Lord Derby has sent a communication
to Mr. Stanley, in Africa, to inform him
that he (Derby) objected to the use of the
British flag in his (Stanley’s) contests
with the Africans. It was net known
how this message would reach Stanley:
but finally Yankee ingenuity settled the
difficulty. Certain American traders
agreed to deliver it to him.
By a vote of 285 to 77, a resolution in
favor of a release of the Fenian prisoners
has been rejected in the British House of
Commons.
General Grant is now staying at Inter
laken in Switzerland, from whence he
makes excursions to the mountains in the
vicinity. It is reported that he has re
ceived no public ovation lately, because
he expressed a desire that none should be
given.
Ann Eliza Young, the ex-wife of the
head of the Mormon Church, is now a

Mrs. Hannah M. Brower, a young
widow, residing at Newark, New Jersey,
has just fallen heir to $100,000, which is
her portion of an estate recently left by
a relation of hers in England.
Washington, July 25.—The freight con
ductors, firemen and brakemen on the New
York Central at East Syracuse have struck.
The strikers detailed meu from their own
body to protect property. The mails
and passenger trains may pass. The strikers
warn off outsiders, tramps and Communists.
A stranger, supposed to have come from
New York, appeared among the strikers at
East Syracuse, and advised them to burn
the buildings of the company, and the
strikers drove him from tho yard at the
point of pistols. He fled to the woods to
escape with his life.
The engineers of the New Jersey Central
have decided not to run with green crews.
General Hamilton, with six hundred regu
lars, has arrived at Reading, Pa. The city
was quiet at midnight, bnt the rioters bad
virtuai possession of the road.
Governor Hartranft has reached Pittsbnrg
and has issued a proclamatiou.
A general cessation of trawl on the
Morris and Essex and New Jersey Central
roads is expected.
The pork packers and coopers at St. Louis
have joined the strikers.
Washington, July 25.—President Arthur,
of the Locomotive Brotherhood, said yes
terday at Clevolaud that the Brotherhood
were not connected with this strike, aud bis
advice bad been not to jeopardize their
lives nor to compromise their manhood.
They sympathize with the strikers but not
with communism. Tho rails have been re
moved from the Erie track at Chemuug
bridge.
The strike is consummated at Kausas City,
and the workmen in the shops have been
compelled to quit.
At Kansas City the strikers compelled the
suspension of labor of all kinds.
The strikers are in undisputed control of
all roads at Terre Haute, Iod.
The roughs continue their demonstrations
against tbe Cbineso in San Francisco. A
Lai dozen bouses have been burned in dif
ferent parts of the city, and the crowds are
clubbed from one point only to gather at
another.
Louisville, July 25.—The attempt to bold
a meeting last night to pacify the workin
men was a failure. Two thousand a
sembled, but nothing formal whatever was
acted upon. Many boys and negroes were
in the crowd. They threw stones into the
windows and broke street lamps as they
proceeded along Ninth street and Broadway.
The mob attacked tbo freight depot of the
Louisville, Nashville and Great Southern
Railroad, smashing the windows and doors.
Then they marched to Tenth street and
wrecked the windows of tho Pullman South
ern Car Company. Proceeding up Broad
way with loud yells they stoned all the fine
houses on this street until Third was
reached. Coming into this avenue Mayor
Jacobs’ Louse was attacked, then that
of Dr. E. D. Standford, President of the
Louisville, Nashvillo and Great Southern
Railroad, w&3 attacked in the same manner.
Along Walnut street houses aud stores were
treated in the same manner. At Flood
and Green streets fifty policemen
placed themselves in line, and when
some of the crowd yelled to attack
them, the officers opened fire, shoot
ing over tlio heads of the mob, and the
men and boys scattered in all directions.
The damage done cannot be estimated.
The excitement is great, and an arrival of
arms and ammunition from Frankfort
waited for with anxiety.
New York. July 25.—A meeting was held
last night to make final arrangements
for the mass meeting to-night in Tomp
kins square. Justus H. Schwaab, a Com
munist, presided. Several addresses were
made, to tbe effect that if any policeman
or military appeared at tho meeting there
would be trouble; but if they staid away every
thing would pass off quietly. Finally Schwaab
was ordered to notify tho Mayor and Polico
Commissioners to refrain from sending a
police force or military to tbe ground. One
hundred special policemen were then sworn
in, all members of the meeting, who will
wear red badges and keep order. Much
trouble is feared.
St. Louis, July 25.—The Mayor publishes
a proclamation this morning warning all
persons against tbe commission of acts of
violence—declaring Don-interference be
tween the strikers and railroad companies,
aud announcing a committee of safety under
the direction of General A. J. Smith, Judge
Thomas T. Ganet, General John L. Marma-
dnke, and others.
Washington, July 25.—There are emis
saries of tho Commune hero, and they are
reported as having gone further South.
The detectives here attribute the foolish
demonstration at Louisville to their machi
nations.
A special meeting of the Cabinet was held
to-day at noon and lasted until after two
o’clock. It was called for the purpose of
keeping tbo administration officially ad
vised of tbe strikers’ operations in
tbe different parts of tbe country, so that
the President could take some immediate
action if deemed necessary. A number of
dispatches were read and thoroughly dis
cussed by tbe Cabin?t. One from General
Hancock reported everything in Philadel
phia quiet and under control. He said that
in 1 :» opinion it was Lvt the lull before tbe
storm, but the breaking up. Tbo dispatches
generally report affairs more quiet and
peaceable, aud it was decided that no
further action should be taken by the gov
ernment for the present. It is noticed,
however, that emanations from the Cabinet
give the situation au over cheerful look.
St. Louis, July 25.—At the labor meeting
last night, one speaker said they bad seven
thousand stand of arms in their possession,
at wli;ch there were cries of “Let us have
them, and wo will use them.” And another
speaker charged the blood shedding at
Baltimore and Pittsburg upon the President
of the United States. He sent, the army
into their midst to put down men
struggling for their rights. A series
of resolutions framed by tho Executive
Committee of tho Workingmen’s party of
the United States were adopted, declaring
that they will not hold themselves responsi
ble for any act of violence that may be com
mitted, bnt will do all in their power to as
sist in keeping order and preventing vio
lence, Their motto is “Death to all thieves,
incendiaries and murderers.” They recom
mend a general strike of all branches of
industry for eight hours for a day’s work,
and call upon legislators for iho enactment
of an eight-hour law. After the meeting
had adjourned a procession was formed,
which, after marching through a number of
streets, crossed the river to East St. Louis,
where a number of spor-chesjwere made. It is
understood they visit all places where
mechanics and laborers are employed and
endeavor to induce them to strike.
Scranton, Pa., July 25.—Tho excitement
here is intense. All trains on the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Road have been
stopped. When the mail train from Bing-
hampton for New York arrived at 9:50 this
morning two passenger cars were detached
by tho strikers, who said that nothing but
the mail should run. Superintendent Hal
stead said the mail car would not run unless
the passenger cars wgre also permitted.
This made tho strikers very indignant.
The Superintendent*was firm, however, and
the mails were taken from the car,which was
promptly switched off on a siding. The
strikers telegraphed at once to the State
authorities that the company refused to
run, and that they would run it if neoes*
sary, and furnish a fireman and engineer.
A dispatch to the same effect was sent to
the post office at Washington. The streets
are thronged with men from the mines, rail
road and iron mills.
Baltimore, July 25, 11 a. m.—All is quiet
in tho city this morning. Tho pas
senger trains over the Philadelphia, Wil
mington and Baltimore, the Northern Cen
tral and theBaltimore and Potomac Railroads
are moving with regularity. On the Balti
more and Ohio, passenger trains are running
to Washington and the West. The regular
passenger train which left Camden station
yesterday morniDg for Cincinnati has ar
rived.
Philadelphia, July 25.—All is quiet at
the West Philadelphia depot this morning,
and no trouble is anticipated. Passenger
trains are moving promptly, and some
freight Is being sent to New York, but none
West. At tbe Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad the eame quietness prevails. The
rails which were torn up in the vicinity of
Reading have been relaid, and trains are
moving this morning on schedule time.
They were this morning only a little behind
time, and regular trains left that city for
Baltimore this morning.
New Y'ork, July 25.—President SloaD, of
the Delaware,Lackawanna and Western Rail
road, has issued the following : “Owing to
tbe unsettled condition of transportation,
the coal call of one hundred and ten thou
sand tons, advertised for this day, is indefi
nitely postponed.”
President Hoyt, of the Pennsylvania Coal
Company, notifies the public that the coal
sale advertised for to-day, will not take
place for the same reason as given by Presi
dent Sloan.
Elizabeth, N. J., July 25.—No through
trains have passed here from Easton, and
the mails have been delayed for tbe first
time since the trouble began.
Albany, July 25.—General Carr telegraphs
that all is quiet at West Albany. Tho troops
are in possession of the round and freight
houses, and freight can be sent without
any trouble. Everything in the city
quiet, and no further disorder is appre
hended here. The Governor says that his dis
patches from all parts of the State are satis
factory, and he expresses the opinion that
the strike is new entirely under control.
Louisville, July 25.—The excitement
great, business seems suspended, and citi
zens are organizing. At one o’clock this
morning an attempt was made to burn the
Louisville, Nashville and Great Southern
Railroad office, bnt it failed.
Oswego, July 25.—The Erie train which
was thrown from the track near Oswego
this morning, consisted of a baggage car.
two passenger coaches and one sleeper. It
was detached and partly overturned.
• Hobnellsville, July 25.—At 8 o’clock
this morning train number eight was started
Eist with a guard on board and an engine
ahead and behind. No full trains have
moved West since the strike commenced.
At 11:30 o’clock a private conference was
held between Superintendent Bowen and
Assistant Receiver Sherman on the part of
the Erie, and Hon. Horace Bemis and Miles
W. Hawley, counsel for the disaffected men.
No definite result was reached, though
the counsel claim to have hopes
of a peaceful aud honorable set
tlement. A meeting of strikers is to bo
held this evening to take some action in tbe
matter. Otherwise nothing lias been doing
aud everything is quiet.
New York, July 25.—There were no mails
from Pittsburg to-day. All the troops are
in their armories in New York, Brooklyn
and Jersey City. The employes of tho
Brooklyn City Railroad Company, on ike
Green Point line, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to strike to-day. The police say tbe
affair fell through.
President Sloan, of tho Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western Railroad Company, said
to-day that tho trains along their road were
all stopped by tbe strikers. No violent de
monstrations had, however, yet been made,
nor were any expected. The passenger
train from Scranton this morning for New
York was stopped by tho strikers. Meas
ures are now being taken by the company to
procure the necessary aid to move their
trains through. Tne engineers on the road
have not yet struck, and Mr. Sloan thinks
that matters may be fixed up amicably yet.
Syracuse, July 25.—At East Syracuse this
forenoon the passenger trains were stopped
by tbe strikers, but afterwards wero allowed
to start. The mail cars bad been placed at
tho rear of tho train?, and as tho other cars
could not be detached without interfering
with tho mails the trains wero allowed to
pass on. The efforts to cause a general
strike at Syracuse this morning were not
successful. The local authorities have per
fected strong organizations to repress any
outbreak.
St. Thomas, Ont., July 25.—A Great
Western Railroad train, ordered to Canada
with Southern passengers, was taken pos
session of by strikers at one o’clock this
morning, and had to go back to the Air Line
Depot. The strikers positively refused to
let the express traiD, which has many pass
engers, move East.
Paterson, N. J., July 25.—The striking
silk weavers here are becoming demonstra
tive. A non-striker was badly hurt this
morning by one man and two women. War
rants have been issued for their arrest. The
strikers are mostly French and German?,
pervaded by Communism. An uneasy feel
ing prevails here, but the authorities are
firm aud determined.
Galveston, July 25.—A special dispatch
to the Hews, from Marshal and Dallas, re
ports a strike on the Texas Pacific Railroad.
Albany, July 25.—Governor Robinson has
issued a proclamation reciting the law, which
punishes with ten yoars imprisonment and
one thousand dollars fine any kind of tam
pering with railroad trams or tracks. He
offers a reward of five hundred dollars for
the arrest and conviction of every such of
fender.
Reading, Pa., July 25.—United States
troops with four pieces of artillery are.
guarding tho depot and other railroad pro
perty. The road has been repaired here.
Audknbied, Pa., July 25.—The Beaver
Brook mines have conformed to the de
mands of the minors who struck yesterday,
aud the men resumed work. It is believed
their success will encourage other miners in
the vicinity to follow them.
Harri.-burg, July 25.—The freight traits
on the Schuylkill and Suequehanua Railroad
were stopped this morning. Passenger
travel is uninterrupted.
New York, July 25.—Tho extension of tho
strike to the New Jersey Central and the
Delaware,Lackawanna and Western Railroad
causes great inconvenience to many persons
who do business here and reside along the
line of these roads. Interest in the great
strike appears to increase rather than de
crease throughout the city. The matter
has now assumed proportions which seem
likely to affect every man in a greater
or less degree, and has become the
one question of the hour, which is
discussed iu all places of public resort.
There is a very general conviction in Now
York that the police and military authori
ties are quite strong enough to quell any
attempt to repeat disorders in this city,
which have been attended with such dis
astrous consequence elsewhere. Especial
reliance is placed upon tho police force,
which baa on several previous occasions
proved its temper and its courage. The in
terruption of railroad communication has
eeriously affected the provision market aud
in a few days, if the condition of affairs does
not improve, New York will be without meat
and her citizens will l?e compelled in
voluntarily to adopt a vegetarian diet.
There is as yet no advance in retail prices
of meat, but retail dealers are already
beginning to suffer, as wholesale dealers
have advanced their prices. An abundant
supply of meat can be shipped to this city
within twenty-four hours of the resumption
of traffic upon the railroads. There is a
very large supply of butter in the marker,
although there is a scarcity of the very
finest grades, and there is an abnn-
dance of dried meats for future consump
tion. Other branches of business are of
course affected by the failure of transporta
tion. The grocery, metal, hide, leather and
wool trades, and all produce markets are
suffering. The general stagnation of busi
ness is plainly proved by tho appearance of
Broadway, which to-day is comparatively
quiet and empty.
Lobxsvxlli, July 23 The Ubori&g uea
of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad are
not included ia tbo number whose wages
were raised yesterday. They have qait
work, and so have the moulders and work
men generally.
Washington, July 25.—Tho day closed
with little or no progress in subdning the
strike, bnt witbont turbulence except at
Louisville, St. Louis and Chicago.
St. Louis, July 25,1:10 p. m.—The gravity
of tbe situation bas not lessened here to
day. At nine o’clock this morning fifteen
hundred men assembled in Luc*s Market
Place around a stand erected by tbo work
ingmen’s party, while two or three thousand
spectators gathered in the vicinity. The
crowd was made np mostly of wire workers
who have struck and strikers from other
manufacturing establishments. At ten
o’clock they formed in a columu and marched
past the City Hall to Turner Hall, where the
Executive Committee of the workingmen’s
party was in session. A half hour later a
body of five hundred, made np chiefly of
negroes, was sent to the levee and marched
its length for the purpose of indacingrousta-
bouts to join them. The strikers say they are
to receive explicit orders from hour to hour
and expect to stop all manufacturing estab
lishments before night. Tbe only passenger
train which passed east over the bridge this
morning was the Toledo, Wabash and East
ern, the strikers making an exception in
favor of that road because of its position
towards employes in part. On the other
roads only postal cars are allowed to leave.
Tbe Missouri Pacific machine shops and
freight depots and yards are closed and
none of the men are at work, they told the
officers of the road this morning that they
were satisfied to work but it would only pre
cipitate an attack and general trouble with
tho strikers. The position of the men was ap
proved by tbo company, and tho shops and
dopots were closed by mutual consent. The
company sent out three or four
freight trains between one and five o’clock
this morning, but it is not likely they will
start any more for tho present.
A delegation of strikers from tbe city
visited Cheltenham, four miles weet of this
city, and ordered the men out of the Smelt
ing and Fire Clay works. They offered their
employers to continue work if protected,
aud a request was sent to police headquar
ters for a detail of polico, but it was re
fused. The police force is on duty at station
places and the city is almost entirely un-
patroled. The force is kept in re
serve to be used only when the strikers
resort to violence or a mob is formed. An
other urgent request for a detail was re
ceived from the officers of the Union Street
Railroad, an important line which runs from
Fourth street to the Fair grounds. The
employes have notified that company that
unless the recent cut of ten per cent, is
restored, they will strike at 12 o’clock to
day and stop tho cars. Fears are enter
tained for the safety of the property. The
police were instructed to bo in readiness to
march to the stables upon the commis
sion of any overt act, but not be
fore. A large body of men and boys
employed at the bsef canning works paraded
this morning, bearing a banner with tho
inscription: “Beef canners’ solid strike; fair
dealing is our motto.” Gon. A. J. Smith,
who is at the head of the citizens’ organiza
tion for the protection of property, has his
headquarters aud a large staff at the four
courts. Meetings were held this morning
in nearly all the wards, aud companies of
citizens ol from fifty to seventy-five mem
bers wero organized and officered. General
Smith states that about one thousand five
hundred have been enrolled for service.
On ’Change a company is being raised on
the authority of tho Mayor, to consist of
fifty men, for the gunboat police service on
the river. The company will be placed on
tho steamer EPen G. Smith, tbe city harbor
boat. Tho lis; of volunteers is headed by
F. C. Morehead, au ex-Confedorate naval
officer. The prospect of a coai famine is
becoming very serious.
Chicago, July 25.—The mob was making
at last report for McCormick’s great reaper
works and will there meet with opposition.
A gang of rioters is engaged in running
street cars into the stables on the south side
as fast as they come in. The railroads are
in statu quo, with passenger trains and
mails running, except in a few cases. Many
who were compelled to quit work yesterday
have gone back to-day.
Tbe north side mob is tbe most disorder
ly, and is busy breaking windows wherever
resisted. The Phcouix Distillery bas been
seized by them, and the proprietors have
called for Unitod States troops. The
strikers drove the polico back from the
north side and rolling mills, and they were
compelled to retu rn to the station. Some
sailors struck last night, but this movement
has little success.
The mob camo in contact with the police
on Twenty-second street, the latter being
assailed with stones and sticks, fired their
revolvers ovor the heads of the crowd, and
for the time quelled the disturbance. Tbe
police have been reinforced, and will clean
out the rioters. A portion of tho mob went
this morning to E. W. Blatchford’s white
lead and oil works, on Fulton aud Green
streets, where two hundred men were em
ployed, and ordered the place closed. This
being refused, they began stoning the
buildings, breaking windows and commit
ting other depredations.
Council voted what money the Mayor
might see fit to use. Six thousand men
have volunteered. The mob marched to
day from one industry to another, and were
generally successful in getting the men to
stop work. No fatalities to-day, but maDy
broken beads.
Tbe police beat off a branch of the mob
that was moviDg on tbe gas works. The
Board of Trade have passed resolutions
calling on the President and Governor to
suppress tho prevailing insurrection.
Louisville, July 25, 12:30 p. m.—Seven
hundred militia, many of them influential
and worthy citizens, are on duty, armed
with guns aud pistols. Tho police number
one hundred and seventy-five. Business
houses are closing and storekeepers are
preparing to join the militia. The very
worst elements are mixed in with tho idlers,
who begad tbe trouble. Mayor Jacobs has
issued orders to trill 3 with none, but to use
prompt and effective measures to suppres
the least indications of violence or talk
thereof. The excitement continues great,
and it is thought no, trouble will occur dur
ing the day, but to-night may bring about
serious consequences. The Mayor has or
dered all liquor saloons to close.
7 p. m.—The situation remains compara
tively unchanged. The scenes at Pittsburg
are remembered with horror here, and all
care will be taken to suppress any outbreak
in its incipiency. There are now one thou
sand citizens in arms, anxiously awaiting to
night’s developments of tbe present exceed
ing formidable appearance, and have no
doubt intimidated the rabble very much.
Business generally is suspended on ac
count of the strike rs. There are no ship
ping facilities.
Detroit, July 25.—No trains are running
on the Canada Southern, and only an occa
sional passenger train on the Detroit
division of tho Lake Shore.
Sedalia, July 25.—All work in the Mis
souri, Kansas and Texas shops stopped this
morning. The men are quiet but deter
mined. No drunkenness or violence is ob
servable.
Baltimore, July 25.—Tbe Board of Di
rectors of tbe Corn and Flonr Exchange
to-day passed the following resolu
tions: “That, whereas, as the state
of rioting and anarchy, interfering
with every form of honest labor, exists in
many of tbe chief cities of the Union, and
along the principal lines of railroad,
and is rapidly spreading, to tho im
minent danger of peaceable citizens
and the complete disorganization of all
business; aud whereas, the various State
and municipal forces are unquestionably
inadequate to cope with this emergency and
to afford protection to the willing workers,
be it Resolved, That an urgent appeal be
made to the President of the United States
for the utmost military protection author
ised by the Constitution, even to an increase
of the present military forces.”
New York, July 25.—The post commander

After tho Tompkins squaro meeting was

stones. Tbo polico charged, and alter a
sharp and decisive straggle the crowd was

Cincinnati, July 25.—The city is quiet.
There are favorable signs of order being re

Atlanta, July 25.—Almost the entire ses
sion to-day was devoted to speeches by Gov.
Jenkins, Gen. Toombs, Attorney General
Hammond, Gen. Wofford, Judge Wright,
God. Gartrell and Messrs. MershoD, Key,
Bass, Barrow and Judge Harrell. The gal
leries were crowded and deep interest was
manifested, especially in the debate between
Gov. Jenkins and Gen. Toombs, in regard
to granting irrevocable rights to corpora
tions.
Tbe convention refused to reconsider, on
motion of Mr. MershoD, tbe section in tbe
bill of rights making lobbying a crime, and
that which refers to whipping, or to adopt a
rejected section in regard to tbo right to
appeal to tho courts.
Hod. T. G. Lawson moved to reconsider
the section in regard to irrevocable grants
in a strong speech, which motion was sus
tained by Messrs. Hammond and Jenkius in
able speeches, and opposed by Gen. Toombs
in a stirring speech. The motion was
adopted by 91 yeas and 90 nays, and tbe re
consideration postponed until some future
day.
General Wofford exposed lobbyists and
their past operations in a scathing speech
which was applauded.
Judge Harrell presented his report on the
reduction of judicial circuits, and Hon. J.
A. Hnnt followed with a minority report.
General Toombs called np the report of
the Committee on Final Revision in regard
to tho Executive Department. Pending the
discussion of the second section the conven
tion adjourned.
Strong speeches were made by Judges
Harrell, Collier and Wright, and Messrs.
Bass and IJplcombe in favor of a redac
tion of the Governor’s salary and
all other salaries and expenses
to the end of the list. The people demand
it, having called the convention for this
very purpose. Unless this general redne
tion is made they will repudiate the work of
tho convention. No salaries on a specie
basis—the same currency for the people
and officials.

RUOF PASHA BADLY DEFEATED
Fifteen Thousand Killed,
and Prisoners.
Wounded
AN ENGAGEMENT AT KALONFER
DEFEAT OF TURKS NEAR PLEVNA.
[By Cable to the Mornmg News.]
London, July 25.—The Times' Bucharest
correspondent sends tho following : “Re
ports are current here and assert that Ruof
Pasha had surrounded the Russian force at
Eski Saghra, but he has been defeated with
the loss of fifteen thousand killed
wounded and prisoners. From the source
of tho report, which is through a high per
sonage, I am inclined to believe that a great
Russian success has been achieved, alrhough
the above figures may be exaggerated.
An engagement has been fought at Ka
lonfer, but no particulars are given
The Russian reconnoisance upon Plevna
discovered between thirty and forty thou
sand Turks, who evidently intended to
threaten Russian communications. It is
stated here that tne Grand Duke Nicholas
hastily concentrated a superior force and
routed them, but I have no further detail,
at present.”
London, July 25.—The Daily News' Biela
dispatch of the 23J says: “On tho 19th inst.
the Russians sustained a severe check, if
not an actual defeat, at Plevna. General
Schillder, with a portion of the Ninth
corps, consisting of an infantry brigade
with cavalry and artillery, was sent against
the place and seems to have approached it
in a slovenly manner. The Turks took the
offensive and repulsed tho Russians with
heavy loss.”
The bombardment of Rustchuk from
Giurgevo bas recommenced. When tbe bom
bardment from the Bulgarian side will be
gin it is difficult to sav. A siege tram is on
its way, but It crosses at Simnitza, a fearful
way round.
Supplies aro difficult to obtain, as the
base of the whole force now in Bulgaria is
still at Simnitza.
Tho headquarters of the Grand Duke
Nicholas remain iu Tiruova. Tho Czaro-
witch’s headquarters are at Abertni, and the
Czar and his suite are in Biela. The health
of the army is good.
A Russian official dispatch from Tir-
nova, conceding the defeat at Plevna,
gives the Russian loss at two Colonels
and fourteen inferior officers killed,
one General and thirty-six inferior officers
wounded, and ono thousand eight hundred
and seventy-four men placed hors du com
bat. General Schillder has retired to the
Biela road.
London, July 25.—The Daily News' Biela
dispatch, dated 23i inst., says: “Gen.
Gourko remains in Kasaulik until the
Eighth corps, now occupying tho defiles of
the Balkans, has passed through and
massed with supplies for further progress.
The road at present is only practicable for
vehicles drawn by bullocks, but large num-
bors of men are engaged in improving it.
Several days must elapse before an onward
move can be made. Even cavalry expedi
tions are suspended for the moment. It is
understood that Lieut. Gen. Brndenar,
commanding the Ninth corps, will be
superceded, and it is believed that the
Ninth and Eleventh corps will be
formed into a separate army under
Lieut. Gen. Prince Schackoweky, to
operate in the west against Widin. Orders
have been sent to tbe Ninth corps to take
Plevna, and tidings of the result of new
operations are now awaited. The Fourth
coips will follow the Eighth across the Bal
kans.”
The Russian army of Rustchuk advanced
to the lino of tho Lom river, teaching the
Danube at Pyrgoeaud, and is slowly wheel
ing on that point to invest the fortress.
Nearly forty thousand men are now jammed
into an aDgle between the Danube aud the
Lom.
Tbe Turks have abandoned tbe line of tbe
Lom without fighting. One part is behoved
to have retired on Rustchuk and another
on Shumla.
Constantinople, July 25. — Suleiman
Pasha is at Kara-Buvar, near which plaoe a
Russian force is also assembled. A great
battle is expected.
A telegram from Shumla states that the
Ras9iaDB were defeated in au assault on
Silistria on Monday.
A dispatch from the Governor of VaniD,
Asia Minor, dated July 22d, says the Rus
sians have completely evacuated the district
of Bayazid.
‘All Busted to Death.”—About nine
o’clock yesterday morning a boy ran up
to a policeman standing on Monroe
avenue, and called out in an excited
voice :
“Come on—come down here—hurry
up!”
“What’s the row, boy?” calmly in
quired the officer.
“Man busted all to death down here !’
“Shoo!’
“Yes’r! He drank two glasses of soda
water and busted up like a biler! I stood
right there and saw the whole ’splosion.’
“Now, boy, you go back and see if you
were not mistaken,” said the officer. “If
theie’s a dead man there I’ll go down.
See if the Coroner is there, and if any
officers are around.”
The boy ran back, and after being ab
sent about fifteen minutes he returned at
a slouchy gait and explained :
I got the facts a little mixed. The
fellow called for two glasses of soda, put
’em away as fast as he could, and then
didn't have any money to pay. I thought
the soda busted him up, but ’twas the
soda man who did it. lie hauled off,
and he drew back, and he shut his jaws,
and he busted that stranger in memory
of ’70. He just came to his senses as I
got there, and he’s rolling his eyes around
and sticking out his tongue and pretend
ing that he’s made at least nine cents out |
the performance. You’d better go
down and draw him in for forgery.”—
Detroit Free Press.
The Hatckeye says that Turkish mothers
now put their babies to sleep by singing
that tender little song:
"I’ve a letter from the Czar,
Baby mine, baby mine;
And he says he'll lift onr ba’r,
Baby mine, baby mine; *
He bas crossed the Dan-u-be f
He is coming after me,
And we’ll see what we shall see,
Baby mine/'
This, says the Graphic, is evidently
from the pen of Dr. Clevelandoff-Coxeski,
and Russian mothers hush their little ones
by chanting :
"Oh ! the Sultan humps himself,
Baby mine, baby mine;
Oh ! he cannot count his wealf,
Baby mine;
He ic proof to shot and shell,
And we cannot, v«ry well,
Take Constantinopuel.
Baby mine!’’
The Mussulmans of India are begin
ning to take great interest in the war
between Russia and Turkey, and feelings
of sympathy with the Turks are spreading
rapidly among them, and daily growing
more intense. Subscriptions are being
opened in most large towns, and are
increasing in amount. In some cases
even the women are offering their jewels
and ornaments in favor of the cause.
Public prayers for the Sultan are offered
the mosques, and pamphlets and
proclamations, coming chiefly from
Mecca, have been circulating largely
among the Mohammedans. The move
ment appears entirely free from political
motives, and is due wholly to religious
impulse.
The New York Herald is compliment
ary to the police. It says: “In Balti
more, at Pittsburg and elsewhere, where
the civil authorities have taken part in
crushing the mobs, we notice that the
police force has behaved with conspicuous
firmness and courage. They deserve hon
orable mention, and will receive the credit
whioh is their due for steady and good
conduct when order is restored.”
