RUssIA proposes 10 try the protective
policy On a grand scale for the benefit Of
is iron and steel manufacturers. There
are FIVE special features embraced in the
policy, as follows: First. That in future
q duty shall he imposed upon all i'm.
ported rails. Second. That all concas-
sions to Russian railway companies sllall
contain clause compelling them to use
not less than one-half rails OF Russian
manufacture. Third. TO allow pre-
MUM to al rail manufacturers. Fourth.
To give them orders for work extending
over four or i've years. Fifth. 10 give
them . special cheap rate Of transit not
only for their manufactured rails, but
also for their ores, pig-iTon, fuel, and, in
fact, All the materials Of their trade.
How Il would delight Pig-iron Kelley t.
live ia Russia. The new departure
which that country proposes must glad
den his heart. He might, however.
maintain that the object aimed at BY the
Russian government could be accom-
plished more effsctnally BY absolutely
prohibiting the importation of rails and
by providing that the government shall
purchase all the rails that may be man
ufactured IT'D Russia at whatever rates
The manufacturers prescribe.

LIEUT.. A. b. CRITTENDEN, of the
Fourth Infantry, who was among those
killed by Che Indians, was the only son
and child OF Gen. Crittenden, of Ken

Lieut.. Crittenden entered the service in
October, 1874, and at his own request
was assigned to duty in this expedition
against the Indians.
THE Cuban revolution is not sup
pressed yet. The insurgents have
powerful ally in the yellow fever, which
thins the ranks Of the newly arrived
Spanish soldiers so rapidly that the
troops are practically powerless. Every
fnsurgent loss il repaired at once, and
the wearing and wasting campaign goes
steadily on to one inevitable issue. Spain
is using the " Queen Of the Antilles" as
a cemetery for her soldiers; ii bids fair
to BECOME the grave Of her pride.

THE RESULT OF HARD TINE

HE RESULT OF HARD TIMES.
STRIKE ON TB<E OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI
TROUBLE Al SEYMOUR.
The labor question has struck the
Ohio and Mississippi railroad, ard
there is trouble there. For
three months past employees
have not been paid, and yesterday there
went into effect reduction in wages OF
% per cent. Tor the engineers, 10 per cent.
or the firemen, and Is cents per day for
brakemen. A strike was inaugurated In
c1nv lenco, TO make which effsc, ual tbs
strikers removed from all freight cars at
Seymour the links and pins. Trains
pulled into the place, and before they
could pull out every link aud pin was ia
ken away. rem ering the further progress
of the train impossible
FEARING BLooDsHED
the management of the road telegraphed
here last night for the militia. Extra pas
seDger coaches were brought in from the
line of the j., M. and 1. and an engine was
fred up to pull them out. After laying
two or three hours at the j. Fl. depot IL was
discovered that. in the absence of Gov.
Hendricks no soldiers would be ordered
out, and the engine was sent to the
round house. II quiTy at the telegraph
office developed me iact that there had
been no danger of a bloody riot. The men
are quiet, but are psrsistently remov-
ing and secreting the links and pins, and
the trsckmen have joined in their strike, but
no violence was sppreneDded. 1t is, how
ever, probable that no freight trains will
get out OF Sey mour until force is sent
the 70 sufficiently strong to prevent the
continuance OF the strikers present policy.
When that is sttemp ed there will very
likely be trouble.
REPORTS FROM CINCINNATI.
The associated press at Cincin-
natl furnishes the following:
Last night the freight brake men on the
Ohio and Mississippi railroad insugurste,
a strike, leaving their trains at Seymour,
which point they have made their head

Der some sixty or seventy men. Their
demonstra atoms thus TAR have been con-
fined entirely to holding freight trains In
sidings by uncoupling them and throw
ing away coupling pins. Tonight
they stole two hand cara, sending them
east and west, il is thought, to continue
work of uDcoup'ing freight trains. Their
reputed leader is F. + Daison, a former
| telegraph operator in the employ OF the
company who was disc 0arged from that
| branch of service for failure to deliver q
train order, and q collision was barely
avoided by prompt action of some of the
| employees OF some of the road. Daison
was afterwards given a situation a. brake
man; owing to sympathy for his destitute
| family. Tonight the brakemen whose
headquarters are at Vincennes struck, and
1t Is thought that the movement will be

cause OF the s rike is a red uction of wages
