A GENERAL STRIKE RUMORED.
Evansville, Jan. 4.—I-ast night it
was learned through reliable sources
that the switchmen, brakomen and con
ductors on the Peoria, Decatur and
Evansville and Air Lino railroads, part of
tho Mackey system, wire ordered out and
those two roads are now idle so for aa
freight traffic it concerned. There la
alto a well defined rumor that tho atriko
will extend to the Cincinnati, Wabash
and Michigan, a recent purchase of
Mackey's, and that should un attempt
bo made to run freight trains by other
than the present force the men on con
necting lines will refuse to handle the
freight.
Mackey has agreed to a conference
with his men, and a committee came
from Terre Haute at 0 p. ra. to confer
with him. Tho Air Line men bovo re
turned to work, and it is reported that
all the others will do so to-morrow.

TO DECLARE A FOREIGN POLICY.
Priuco Bismarck’s long expected de
claration of a foreign policy of the gov
ernment will probably bo msda during
the debate on the military credits. Tl»e
attitude of the government on the social
ist bill is indexible. Tho nutional liber
als have bem hopeful that Prineo Bis

reading, accept such modifications as
would enable them to rote with the gov

touching tho arbitrary aspects of the

governnu-nt groups to stand together for

THE REPTJLK FUND.
Some topics intuiting delicate pharos
of tho government service and likely to
be exuiting will come beforo the
Landtag. Ono of these will bo tho con
sideration of Hie dbpositiou of aum* con
fiscated during tho ivulterkampf and do-
voted to tho secret service fund. Within
recent years the “reptile" fund has been
so little ut*d that the naino of it sounds
almost ancient. But fevy papers lire
subsidized and fewer agents are main
tained. The ventilation of the subject
in tlie Land tug is likely to curtail in an
even greater degree tho executivo misuse
of those money*.
It is also thought that tho Landtag
will disapprove the lottery project in ie-
gat'd to the monument of Eni})oror
william. The put chase and demolition
of ctruiin bouses in order to make u site
for the monument is necessary, and the
project cf raising money for the purpose
