WASHINGTON, June 2.-The argument in
the Bowen case was not concluded to-day.
The strike continues among the colOred
laborers who, in some cases, forcibly pre-
vented work In other instances, the work
ers, upon the approach of the strikers, quit
ted their work and joined them. In one in.
stance, the strikers attempted to take the
tools from a gang of workmen, when a
squad of policemen appeared and ordered
them away. The strikers seemed deter
mined, but the approach of squad of
mounted police intimidated them. Later in
the day the labOrers, in some instances, re-
sumed work under promise of such wages as
the committee shall agree upon. A large
police force has been held in readiness all
day for emergencies.
The outrage committee has recalled Col
lector Miller, of Mobile, who departed for
his home last night, to give further tes-
timony.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has sent circular to supervisors IN the
Southern States, in which he says: "When-
ever you find the aid of troops necessary in
your district you will apply for the force
required directly to the commanding officer
of the department in which the troops are
to be used, reporting your action to this
office, and the circumstances upon which it
is based"
Government expenditure for the month of
May, seventeen and three quarter millions
exclusive of interest on the public debt
Reports to the Internal Revenue Depart
ment show that great source of loss to the
government is occasiOned by the reuse of
stamps on various articles A case was re-
Gently presented from the First Maine Dis
trict, where dealer in perfumery was found
guilty of this practice. His goods were
seized and a criminal prosecution COM
menced. A proposition to compromise was
made, but rejected; and the commissioner
instructs the collector to prosecute TO the
full extent of the law.
The three per cent certificates issued
under act of March 2, 1867, and July 25,
1868, bearing date December 16, 1867, to
March 16, 1868, amounting to $l,750,000,
will be redeemed at the Assistant Treas
urer's office in New York. They cease to
bear interest from July 81, 1871.
Weather Report-Synopsis for the past
twenty-four hours-The high winds which
prevailed thursday evening at hey west
still continue, with rising barometer, and
have probably extended westward into the
gulf The cloudy and threatening weather
of the middle Atlantic has extended to the
Blue Ridge, with fresh southeasterly winds,
but no rain has been reported. Clear
weather has prevailed in the New England
States and on the upper lakes. Heavy
rains, probably confined to a small area, are
reported from Western Tennessee. The
area of the highest barometer has contin-
ued on the Atlantic coast, and the pressure
has fallen somewhat in the upper Mississippi
valley. The temperature has increased on
the east Atlantic and in the Northwest.
1t is probable that the high winds in the
Gulf Will advance with rain to the coast OF
Louisiana. The weather will probably clear
away in the Middle States, and falling
barometer, with local rains, probably be ex
perienced west of the Blue Ridge. Pleasant
weather will probably continue from Wis
consin to the Atlantic.
