ST. LOUIS, July %, 1 A. M.-The Chi
cago and Alton railroad management
have telegraphed to Postmaster Filley
that as they cannot run trains without
endangering the lives of their men and
passengers and jeopardizing rolling
stock and other property of the com
pany, they have concluded to withdraw
all trains and suspend the operations of
the road until order is restored.
ELMuRA, N. Y, July 26.-The strike
on the Northern Central at this point
still continues. An effort was made
this afternoon to send out freight trains,
but failed; employees entered the round
house, putting the fires in the engines
out and drawing firemen from the en-
gine. The Sheriff with 500 armed citi-
zens and military went to the scene.-
Quiet was restored, but more trouble is
feared.
JERSEY CITY, July 27.-The passen-

walk to Elizabeth, distance of three
miles, where they took the train for New
York. On the road between Elizabeth
port and Newark the train was stoned
by the strikers and the passengers were
compelled to lie down on the floor of the
cars for safety.

Crop Reports.

The Agricultural reports from the
whole country to the department at
Washington, show returns as follows:
The winter wheat already harvested
and the spring wheat indicate an unpre-
cedented yield, which will not fall short
of S25 900 bushels, an increase of over
10000 900 of bushels over last year. The
surplus, available for foreign exporta-
ton, will not be short of 100000, 900
bushels, an increase of 1000, 900 on the
highest surplus ever known in the
country. The Eastern war, according
to official information, has very disas-
trously affected the wheat production of
southern Russia. 1t is therefore evident
that all the wheat which can be spared
by the United States for expectation
will be demanded, as the movements
for expectation of crops have an i'm
portant bearing upon the business and
finance of the country, and as the time
for their movement is near at hand,
some apprehension is expressed in
government circles that the recent dis
turbances of the railroads may lead to
embarrassment which will detract much
from the beneficial effects Anticipated
from the shipment of the abundant crop
of the present year.

THE PHILADELPHIA TROOPS have
reason to complain of the treatment they
have received. In the first place the
number sent was so much smaller than
the crowd of rioters they were asked to
quell that t'they had little chance of sue
cess. And then they were not support
ed by the citizens of the place they were
to operate in. After troops have been
badly defeated, even by other regular
bodies, every one knows how utterly de-
moralized they become, and when deal
ing with rioters it is very much worse.
The Philadelphia North american in
referring to this matter says:
Had the Allegheny county regiments
come to aid the men who were sent from
Philadelphia to help them in suppress
ing riotous demonstrations, there would
not now be so much cause for deploring
their disaffection among the hitherto
thrifty and prosperous business men of
Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh militia fra
ternized withthe mob, and the miscreants
who exhibited such an extraordinary
Intensity of diabolism in their efforts to
roast alive the Philadelphia troops in
the round house knew that they would
not be interfered with by the soldiers (p)
of Allegheny. The shame attaching to
these epauletted and armed men who
sympathized with the thieves and roughs
of Pittsburgh on that occasion will cling
to them through their lives and blur the
page of history upon which the record
shall assuredly be written.
Had the militia, had good officers,
and been allowed to act, we have no
doubt they would have quelled the riot
even though the odds was SO terribly
against them. 1t is easy to try to ridicule
the troops and speak contemptuously
Of their courage, but is there any of the
men who use such language who would

show scine Russian advances and some
minor defeats to the Turks. Nothing
of consequence has however transpired,

THE LATEST

MONDAY MoRNING.-As we go to
press this morning, we are gratified to
be able to report brighter outlook On
the Penn'a. II. r., all trains are running
between Philadelphia and Altoona, with
the assurance from the authorities that
the road shall be opened for all traffic
through to Pittsburgh to-day. The Gov
ernor is now in Pittsburgh with 1000
troops.
The trip of the Governor and his
troops from Altoona to Pittsburgh was
very difficult and dangerous one.
After leaving Blairsville the trains ran
very slowly and not light was to be
seen on any of them. Each bridge was
carefully examined before train crossed,
and as they approached deep cuts or
curves the train was Stacked up and the
troops were deployed up the road as
skirmishers. Headlights on the loco
motives were put out so that the strikers
should not see the guns on the first car,
and it was extremely difficult to see any
distractions placed on the track.
Attacks were made on the trains at
various points, the worst at Johnstown,
where each section was greeted with
showers of sticks, stones and pieces of
metal. The missiles went through the
windows, striking the soldiers and in
fiicting ugly wounds. The troops were
restrained from firing at first, but finally
the patience of Colonel Hamilton, who
commanded the regulars, was exhausted
and he jumped up and pulled the bell
rope. The engineer, under guard, re-
sponded to the signal. 1t was lucky
that the speed of the train was stopped,
for the fiends composing the mob had
forced open switch at what is known
as Cambria siding, and with hellish in
genuity had so twisted the switch bar as
to indicate that the track was all right.
The engine and five cars were thrown
off the track, but fortunately only two
men, the engineer and one soldier re-
ceived injury, and they are not hurt
seriously. The soldiers were at once de-
ployed and succeeded in arresting over
fifty of the rioters who were taken to
Pittsburgh.
With the strike over on this road, the
vitality will be taken from the move
ment at all other points, and we may
feel assured that the troubles as. far as
the railroads are concerned are about
over. The worst trouble now is among
the miners, but with the end of the rail-
road strike, the State authorities will
have time to attend to the miners in
manner that even they can understand.
PITTsBURe, July 80 s a. m.-One track
now in order and trains are leaving reg
larly. To-day another track will be
cleared so that connections can be made
at the Union depot. Six freight trains
have already been dispatched from this
point for the East.
EY One of the peculiarities of the
railroad strike is the fact that rates of
wages which are perfectly satisfactory to
laborers on one road only afford an
occasion for a strike upon another.

THE citizens of Pittsburgh are reported
to have looked on with some compla-
sency at the destruction of the property
of the railroad when it first began. By
this time, they no doubt are repenting,
that they did not stop the riot at the
outset.
If they are not repenting in sackcloth
and ashes, they at least have plenty Of
ashes to help theirrepentance.

81 25 to 81 75 day, while on the Erie
Railway they were paid from 81 70 to
So 80. A reduction Of 10 per cent. on
the Erie would bring wages down so
that they would range from 81 IS to
$2 l2-much more than on the Central
before the reduction and yet against
these larger rates the Erie firemen strike.
On the Baltimore and Ohio the old rates
were 81 so and 81 10 day, while the
reduction leaves them at 81 80 and
81 57t, an average above the old pay ON
the New York Central.

THE magnitude'o the strike may be
better understood when it is seen what
number of men are employed on the
main line of roads.
The New York Central and Hudson
River employs $4,000 men the Lake
Shore and Michigan Central, 10000; the
Erie, 1880; the Baltimore and Ohio,
main and leased lines, 10000; and the
Pennsylvania, with its lease-holds, ~ 800.
Thus it is seen that the five large COM
panies employ regularly $4,000 men, and
the smaller companies which act as a
feeder to these lines probably employ
half as many more.
