Drnw m cd

CINCINNATI, April 1.-THE coal cart
drivers joined in the strike today,
Some three or four drivers who re-
mained with their carts were stoned
this forenoon, and the coal officers
threatened. About one thousand men
are now on the strike. A meeting Of
the coal dealers is called for this even
ing to try and arrange matters. Men
are plenty at two dollars per day, but

ENGLAND.
The Geneva Arbitration.

LONDON, April ia profound sen
sation was created in both Houses Of
Parliament last night on the announce
ment being made that Davis, Acting
United States Government Agent, on
the occasion of the presentation OF the
British protest at the meeting at Geneva
on Tuesday last, announced that he re-
served the right to indicate the view
taken by the American Government
regarding the scope of the arbitration.
The Times this morning discusses the
present situation of affairs concerning
the Geneva Conference, and very EN-
phatically declares that England has
not committed herselfto the arbitration.
1t also states, evidently on authority,
that if the claim for consequential
damages is still persisted in 10y the
United States and not withdrawn on or
before the fifteenth day OF June next
Frgland will on that date formally
withdraw from the Geneva Conference.

GRANT.
Meeting at Cooper Institute.

New YORK, April 1.-THE Admin
istration Republican meeting at Cooper
Institute tonight was very largely
attended. The hall was prettily deco
rated, and notices eulogistic OF the
President were displayed on the walls.
At the outset of the meeting there was
considerable disturbance in the audience
BY rival cheers being given for Grant
and Greeley. This resulted in the
summary ejectment Of a number OF
individuals.
The meeting was called to order at
S o'clock. Henry Clews presided and
introduced the first speaker, VIM. E.
Dodge. He made lengthy speech,
and compared the record OF Grant with
that of the other men who had pre-
ceded him in the White House, and
thought his record was as good as any
man who had occupied that position.
A list of 5l9 Vice Presidents was
read and the names were endorsed by
the audience.
General Sickles then spoke upon
the late war and Grants great ability
as a soldier, and dwelt at great length
on the foreign policy of the admin'stra
ton and the wisdom which had charac-
terizel that of his cabinet. He re.
viewed the action of men who had
figured upon the platform at the recent
Republican meeting and denounced the
movement for the formation OF a new
Republican party.
Senator Wilson followed. He said
he was Grant man from choice. He
reviewed the administration Of Grant
and dwelt at great length on the Presl-
dents Indian policy. He thought this
one fact Of the President having con-
ciliated the Indians was sufficient to
entitle him to denomination as Presl-
dent.
Senator Morton was the next speaker.
He thought the policy of letting well
enough alone was good one in the
case Of General Grant. He was honest
and well calculated to sustain the honor
of the country at home or abroad. He
went over the entire ground taken by
the other speakers, and did not close
his speech until II o'clock.
Several other speeches were made
and the meeting adjourned.
Great excitement was occasloned by
a number OF persons in the audience
the speakers While
the resolutions were being read some
one said in loud tone, that's played
out" The man was invited to the
platform, and great confusion ensued.
While Gen. Sickles was speaking he
mentioned the name Of Schurz, when
great cheering occurred; also when he
spoke OF Horace Greeley. When he
referred to Trumbull three cheers were
proposed and the audience cheered.
The confusion was by this time very
great, and was terminated by the band
playing national air.
Senator Morton's remarks were
scarcely audible from the noise that
prevailed in the Hall, and portion OF
the time the band was playing while he
was speaking.
