oh'Ceu States, an address of welcome was
pre- ehted yesterday morning, July 3, to

me address having been formally pre-
sented, Speeches We're made by Messrs.

General Grant replied il the following
terms:
GENTLEMEN-In the name of nv
country thank you for the address whicn
you nave just presented to me. l feel
Chat you are paying compliment to the
form OF government vi hich L represented
% well as to myself personally. Since
my ARRIVAL on British soil L have receiv-
ed great attention, intended, feel, in the
same way-that is, for my country. l
nave received attentions. and have had
ovatlons and presentations from differ
ent classes, from the governing classes,
anu from the controlling authorities of
your cltles, as well as from the general
pubic; but there is no reception that /
nave met with which | am prouder of
than this one to day. | recognize the
Iact, whatever there is ofgreatness in the
nited States, or, indeed, in any other
country, Is due to the labor performed
and to the laborer, who is the author of
all greatness and wealth, and without
whom there would be no governing, no
leading classes, nor anything worth the
trouble OF preserving. With us labor ia
regarded as highly respectable. When it
Is not so regarded, it Is where the man
dishonors the labor. We recognize that
labJ dishonors no man; and, whatever a
mans occupation, he is eligible for any
post in the gift of the people, his calling
being left out of consideration when it is
question of electing him as law maker
or an executor of the law. Now, gentle
men, all cando, in conclusion, Is to to
renew my thanks for your address; and
to repeat that L have received nothing
from any class since my arrival in Eng
land that has given me more pleasure.

THE GREAT STRIKE.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE MAR
TINSBURG RIOf-4 900 STRIK ERS
AGAINST SEVENTY-FIVE SOL


AGAINST SEVENTY-FIVE SOL
DIERS.
BALTIMORE, July 17.-Another ae-
count of the affair at Martinsburg this
morning sta 'es that when Colonel Faulk-
ner, with his seventy-five men took char e
of the train 10 move it west the strikers
and their friends had gathered in strong
force, not less than 1000 of them being
on the scene. They were armed with
every conceivable weapon, aud as the
train was about to start they rushed upon
it and cut the couplings of The cars
Colonel Faulkner called on them to dis
perse and ordered them back, but these
orders were met with jeers and threats.
The Colonel then threatened that he
would order the soldiers to fire on them
if they did not desist. Scarcely had the
words fallen from his lips when fusil-
ade of small arms was opened on the
soldiers by the rioters. One of the
soldiers was wounded by pistol shot,
and the commanding officer Immediately
gave the order to bis men TO return the
fire.
The soldiers, acting like veterans, obey
ed the order, and the fire was returned,
and one of the rioters was killed outright
others are supposed to be wounded, as
several were seen to be carried off the
ground by their comrades. This firing
caused scene of the widest confusion.
and several times the mob charged on the
train, but the military had reloaded and
stood firm, and the rioters were repulsed.
At this writing the excitement and con-
fusion is so great that it is impossible to
get further details.
NEW SCENES OF vIcT GNCE.
At Grafton and Keycer, west of
Cumberland, the strikers commenced
operations tonight. There was some
violence at the former place and al
both the strikers were triumphant. At
Wheeling the strike was also inaugu-
raLed but it is less formidable.
FREIGHT TRAINS ALL STOPPED.
All freight traffic over the road
is virtually suspended, and it is
the general opinion that the militia
will be unable to cope with the strikers
now numbering several thousand, and
that government aid will be necessary.
Governor Carroll, of Maryland, will,
it necessary, call out the State militia.
tnC nave lar UeeQ aDIe
TO quell any threatened rising of the
strikers. Threats are made tonight
that no freight trains will ran to-m Jr-
row, and there is also an intimation
that passenger trains, except those
carrying United States mails, will not
be permitted to run after tomorrow
and that the passenger trains would
probably be stopped tomorrow.
MEETING OF STRIKERS.
There was meeting of the strikers
here tonight at which committees
were appointed to visit and encourage
the strikers all along the line and
resolution was adopted demanding the
paid by the company in
1878.
The outlook tonight is exceedingly
gloomy, and while the officials of the
are laboring day and night

The Consumption of Coal Now
and in the Future.

DR.. Siemens, the great metallur-
gist recently delivered an address be-
fore the English Iron Steel Institute
in which he made a startling sug-
gestion as to the utilization of water
power. He said that all the coal an
nually mined in the world would only
suffice to create a power equal to that
continually wasted by the falls of
Niagara. If this power were applied
to powerful dynamo electrical ma
chine. an electric current could be
produced of great intensity. "a
copper-rod of three inches in diam
eter would be capable of transmitting
1000 horse power a distance of say
thirty miles, an amount sufficient to
supply one-quarter of million can
dle-power, which would suffice to light
moderately sized town. Who
knows but what here is the true solu-
tion of the illumination question? Of
course Niagara Falls is not necessary,
or even falls of any kind. Every
running river is a great waste of
power. The city of Mayence has all
its grist- mills operated by the placid
stream Of the Rhine, anchoring them
off the city, and compelling the cur
rent to turn the wheels. DR.. Siemens
gave Niagara as an instance of the
vast natural forces as yet unutilized,
and to show how the economy of
forces may yet greatly diminish the
use of coal. He says that the constant
Improvement in the methods of heat
ing tend to check the consumption of
coal. In twenty years the average
increase in the English coal produc-
ton has been three and a-half million
tons a year, while the power gained
from the consumption of it has in
creased much more rapidly. A ton
Of steel rails can now be made with
5000 pounds of coal, against 10000
twenty years ago. At the present
rate of increase, the coal supply of
England would be exhausted in two
hundred and fifty years, but D.
Siemens relies on the increasing econ
omy of use to greatly extend this
period,
