| The Great Strike--Iiow 1t Ii Regarded
I'm Eurorc.

The New York Herald has special dis
patch from London which states that extra
ordinary anxiety IS felt in all circles con-
corning the diSturoa in the United
States. The suddenness, rapidity, and gem
eral extent OF the strikes are regarded as
surprising and uneXampled. The riots have
made a deeper and more painful impression
in England than any event since the out
break OF the war OF secession IN 1851. As
yet neither the English people nor the news
papers have been able to form any clear
theory or realization as to the causes OF the
outbreak. .s ......-
The public find in the London ncwspa-
pers only cold statements, such Us the ioca-
ton OF the riot, the number OF people
killed, and the value OF the property de-
stroyed. The newspapers have generally
expressed the hope that the United States
Government would succeed in supprcssing
the insurrection. The Daily Telegraph,
however, thinks that "the corruption and
Encouragement OF the railway managers
has given to the employees both the tcmpta-
ton and the opportunity" Whatever is
the result OF the Governments interference,
the effect OF the strike must be calamftous
to American credit abroad.
A very painful impression is produced
here by the action Of Governor Williams, OF
Indiana, in declaring that he would not In
terfere between the strikers and the railway
companies. 1t is the impression, however,
among the more reasonable portion Of the
English people that Governor Williams's
remarks have been incorrectly cabfed to this
country. The thousands Of holders OF
American railroad securities In England
cannot be made to believe that the Governor
of State In the Union would decline to- In
terIere to protect the rights OF property.
The HeralPs correspondent at Berlin
telegraphs that intense interest prevails in
the German capital regarding the great
American railroad strike. Most OF the
papers have daily editorials on the subject.
The socialist leaders are loud IN tnelf
e1,ires" and. to show their sympathy for
the strikers, have opened subscriptions In
their favor Not much money Is raised,
however. ..ass Il.

Baltimore on Thursday.

The freight blockade continues, with no
indications of break. There were rumors
OF negotiations yesterday between the com
pany and the strikers that were generally
credited, but not verified by the company.
It was stated that compromise was pro-
posed similar to that agreed upon between
the Northern Central road and its en-
ployes-thc men to go to work on 4 promise
OF an equitable adjustment OF wages after
the trouble is settled. and the men to get as
good wages as should be paid by any other
trunk-ine road. There appears to be no
doubt that some sort OF settlement is con-
templated. and the one proposed, it is SAID,
is likely to meet with more favor than any
other. -.AmeriCdn, 2Ih.
