The Administration and the Strike
Washington Dispatch to Baltimore Sun.

Washington Dispatch to Baltimore Sun.
The President is very much in
clined to think that if the local au-
thorities at various places had been
as prompt and decided as they
should have been in REFRESHING dis
order at its first outcropping the
strike would never have eliminated
in such disastrous consequences.
While he will at all times uphold
the State authorities in maintaining
peace with all its constitutional au
thoritv, the President really, so far
as he is concerned, would have
much preferred to see the restora
ton of order solely through the ex
ercise of State power. Two more
members of the Cabinet do not be-
lieve that it was possible for the
States unaided to cope with the in
surrection.
The advocates of strong central
Government continue to insist that
the argument is all on their side.
The opinion in all circles here still
is that under no circumstances will
there be any further reduction of
the army. This, it seems settled,
can be relied upon. Propositions
to increase the army and to give ad
ditional powers to the Federal Gov
eminent will certainly be brought
forward, and not all of them from the
Republican side. The fate of such
measures can not now be foreseen.
If there is no recurrence of disOr-
der between now and the meeting
of Congress, the views of many viii,
of course, be modified, and so re-
main until another unchecked up
rising of the mob occurs.

More Army Lihertinism.

National Republican, July IA
A portion of our city is thrown
quite into commotion TAT least the
female portion of it) by the elope-
ment of very dashing army officer,
of fine address and handsome face
with a young wife and mother, she
being the daughter of a prominent
gentleman and old resident of this
city, and but three years married to
the now deserted husband. Their
home was to all appearances one of
the happiest, a charming house, fur
nished in exquisite taste and
adorned with the countless luxuries
that wealth alone can obtain.
One evening the lady declared
her intention of spending the fol-
lowing day with a lady friend, say
ing she would not return till quite
late, and, unlike her usual custom,
dismissed the nurse and prepared
the little boy for bed herself, and
watching his slumbers during the
evening-her last evening. There
was nothing unusual in her conduct
toward her husband the next morn
ing, and left him quite early for her
visit, after giving many kisses to
"baby." On the husbands return
from business at the usual hour he
was met by the nurse and child,
saying his wife had not yet returned.
He was not surprised at this, be-
cause he did not expect her before
evening.
Passing into his library, almost
on entering the room, he saw note
lying on the table in a conspicuous
position, in his wife's handwriting,
which caused him a sudden chill of
fear. Tearing it open, he read the
cruel truth of his dishonor and bro
ken trust, and, still more severe to
bear, that she had not loved him on
their marriage day, but was infu-
enced to accept him by many
friends, her own love of ease and
stating that she had now met man
for whom she had determined to
sacrifice her every prospect. Thus
tue blow fell, leaving the husband
alone with the motherless child. 1t
is needless to add more, nor de
scribe the sufIerings Of an honora-
BILE man who finds himself thus de
ceived and deserted by the one wo-
man in whom he had placed all his
trust, and who had in her keeping
his entire love and confidence.

A Test Of Endurance.
From tie New York Times.

From tie New York Times.
The recent events of the war re
call the Iron Dukes word at Water
loo: "Hard pounding, gentlemen
we shall see who will pound the
longest" A constant succession OF
bloody encounters, at Rustchuck,
Silistria, Yeni Sahra, Plevna and
Rasgrad have compressed into three
weeks the havoc of an entire cam
paign, and the great battle in which
the third attack on Plevna has just
eliminated, though doubtless exag-
gerated by rumor, has evidently
been the most murderous of all.
And when to the casualties of war
we superadd those of disease, hun
ger, fatigue, lack of shelter, defective
surgery, and want of proper care, we
need not wonder at the visible signs
of exhaustion shown by both com
battaDts. OF the reenforcemelts
hastily ordered up from CONSTANT
nople, nearly one half appear to be
raw levies, an ominous symptom at
this early stage of the war. On the
other hand, the Russians have re,
Gently called out their reserves, and
are endeatoring to supply the gap
in their muster roll by the forma
ton OF two fresh army crops, with a
combined strength of $4,000 men-a
sufficient proof of the fearful drain
already made upon their military
strength, vast as it is.
1t should be remembered, how
ever, that the actual consumption of
life on the battlefield or in the hos
piJal is but a part of the deduction
which must be made from the
strength of both combatants. Of
the seven corps composing the
Turkish army, at least two are con
stantly employed in keeping down
the chronic INSTRUMENTATION of the
provinces; and now, with Crete vic
lently disatected, Thessaly hardly
kept back by Greece from open re-
volt, and Greece herself holding
menacing language, the added diff
culties of the situation are neither
few nor slight. Nor is Russia more
fortunate than her rival. Out of
her peace establishment of LIB, $40
pen she has to maintain 163,759 in
the Caucasus, %, 294 in Central Asia,
11,044 in Western and l4,Sl0 in
Eastern Siberia, and 628S in the
Orenburg District, on the Asiatic
frOntier-to all of which must now
added a large ''army of observation"
in the unhealthy regions of Western
Poland, were 10000 men persisted
by disease in the summer of 1854,
without seeing the face of an enemy.
The present military strength of
Russia, on it's war footing, is 50,275
officers and LII, 1897 rank and file,
in addition to which, and to the re-
serves just called out, she has one
final resource in the "Marodnoe
Opoltchenie," or levee en- masse,
which virtually puts into the ranks
every man capable of bearing arms.
This is so extreme a measure as to
have been adopted only twice in the
present century-during the great
crisis of 1872 and just before the
death of the Emperor Nicholas, in
1855; but should the war continue
long on it's present scale of unspar,
ing carnage, it is possible that the
national armament" may yet be
found neecess ary once more.

SCHEDULE.
The Wheat Crop.

The latest returns received at the
Agricultural department show that
the wheat crop is the largest pro-
duced in this country for many
years. The cotton prospects are
also more favorable than last year
at this time, the product now being
estimated at upwards of 100000
bales. The wheat crop of last
year was 260,0O0,00 bushels. This
year it will be more than 325,000,O00
bushels. The average export for
five years has been 61,5OO,OOO bush
els. The largest amount ever ex
ported in one year was 100000
bushels. OF this years crop, not
less than 100000 bushels. may
be sent abroad.
Another important circumstance
in connection with our own album
dant harvest is the reduced produc-
tion OF Southern Russia, resulting
from the disturbed condition of af-
fairs in the country adjacent to the
Black Sea. Recent special reports
from Southern Russia report the
estimated crop of the present season
at less than one-half that of former
years. Russia has hitherto been
our only great rival in the English
wheat market. Before 1872 Russia
shipped almost as much wheat to
the markets of the world as the
United States. Last year the Rus
sian supply was only one-third as
great as that of the United States,
and for the present year it is shown
by official communications that the
proportion of Russian wheat will be
much less. 1t is shown by official
reports that the wheat crop in Cali
fornia for the present season is
small, SO that the estimated surplus
Of 100000 bushels will be pro-
duced east of g.: c Rocky Mountains,
and must reach the seaboard byrail
or river.

little ache and pain. 1t is censured on
every hand. 1t is made to daddy all

Result ofObstructed Digestion

Among the hurtiul consequences OF
INSTRUCTED digestion, is the impoverish-
ment of the blood, and since a deteria-
tive condition of the vital fluid not only
produces dangerous organic weakness,
but, according to the best medical au-
thorities, sometimes causes asphyxia, il
is apparent that to improve the quality
of the blood by promoting digestion
and assimilation, is wise precaution.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is precisely
the remedy for this purpose, since it
stimulates the gastric juices, cOnquers
those bilious and eyacuative irregulari-
ties which interfere with the digestive
processes, promotes assimilation of the
food by the blood, and purifies as well
as enriches it. The signs of improve
ment in health in consequence of using
the Bitters are speedily apparent in an
accession of vigor, gain in bodily sub
stance, and a regular and active per-
Torrance of every physical function.

Business, says the Cincinnati
Commercial, has been struck dead
by the strikers. There was, prior to
the strike, prospect of a lively fall
trade, and business men began TO
take courage, and note the slow de
velopment of traffic. The fact that
it is a fruitful year, and that the
foreign demand for the products of
the country was growing, treasured
the hearts Of men who have waited
for a turn in the tide of affairs. The
strike has, however, tended TO de
stroy confidence, interrupted the
course of traffic, disordered bust
ness, and effected a general stagna-
ton of industry. II the country re-
covers from the disastrous results
OF the strike in six weeks it will be
fortunate.

officer of the Government is respon-
sible for the statement that in Cab
met consultations over the riot, the
question of an Immediate extra SOS
sion of Congress was discussed, and
disposed of negatively, because it
was believed that an excited discus

time would be injudicious. In short,
1t was held that the division of SEN

The Courier Journal says railroad
managers are talking of economic
ing in very sensible way since the
strike. 1t is proposed to do away
with the independent fast freight
lines 10y flushing the freight trains
Of the companies at higher rate OF
speed, and to stop the practice OF
renting rolling stock at high rates.
The companies will thereby make
all the money to be made out fast
freight for themselves 1t is pro
posed also to abolish special trains
for railway officials, and make them
ride in ordinary trains. 1t is said
that a huge leak in treasures comes
from this source alone. The earn
ing of the roads under these reforms
will be so much larger that they can
afford to pay better wages to their
men.
