WASHINGTON.

DAILY CONSIDERING THE STRIKE.

Special to the Star.
DAILY CONSIDERING THE STRIKE.
WASHINGTON. July 26.-Matters are
comparatively quiet here. The Cabinet
meets every day to hear reports from
the strike. No very important act has
been determined on, except the use OF
Government troops to protect United
States property, and in aid, to some ex-
tent, Of the State authorities in West
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
1t Is stated in a Washington paper
that interference with trains and
other riotous acts in West Virginia and
Pennsylvania will be considered as re-
bellion against the United States; but
this is mistake, the offenses being re-
garded as against the peace of these
States, and only against the United
States where the mails are interrupted.
The policy OF the Government seems to
be a waiting one. There is no idea al
present of calling out the militia or call
ing Congress together, and there seems
10 be weak notion prevalent that the
thing will right itseH alter awhile.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The National Republican, which is
an Administration paper, comedies that
the resumption act must be repealed
ana the policy of speedily reducing the
public debt must be abandoned, but that
is no proof yet that the Administration
is ready to yield. Ohio Republicans
here concede that the gubernatorial
OHIO is very strong
one. The Pennsylvania Democratic
State Convention, which meets shortly,
will follow the financial lead of Ohio
and declare for the repeal of the re-
law.

ing a quantity Of gold and silver coins
from his grandmother, Mrs. Brooks,
and, although circumstantial evil
dence was strong against him, he was
not convicted. A short time ago the old
lady died, and, among other requests,
left a bed-tick 10 neighbor, who ripped
II open, and cleared Mr.. Baker from the
suspicion resting upon him. In the
mattress was found bag containing
$l2 in gold, S22 in grecnbacks, some
silver, and $3.50 in notes. Undoubtedly
they were found just where Grand
mother Brooks had placed them for safe
keeping. She had hidden her treasure
there, and with her failing memory had
forgotten the hiding place. ddrian
