WARRINGTON.


WAsHINGToN, July 24.-Gen, Hancock,
in command Of Philadelphia, notifies the
Secretary Of War that his troops have all
arrived there and are comfortably quar-.
tered. He has quite a large force at his
disposal, including several batteries Of
artillery.
The President and Cabinet will not
attend the Postal Convention at Fortress
Monroe. The Postmaster General, how.
ever, will go.
John P. Wilder is appointed postmas.
ter at Chattanooga, Tenn.
PRINTING AND ENGRAVING.
The committee Of experts, lately ap.
pointed by Secretary Sherman to exam.
ine the operations Of the Bureau OF Print.
ing and Engraving, recommends that the
entire business ot printing public securi.
ties, ETC., be relegAted to private persons,
and that the functions OF the bureau be
confined in the future to sealing the
issues and authenticating their genuine
ness. A thorough investigation Of the
history and workings Of the bureau
preceded the report, from which it ap.
peared that the printing and engraving
done by private companies was invariably
cheaper and better and attended with
greater safeguards than that done by the
government.
RAILROAD TROUBLES IN THB CABINET.
The Cabinet session to.dVy lasted until
after . o'clock, discussing mostly the
railroad troubles. kilograms from the
military commanders showed condition
Of affairs which indicates that quiet pre-.
walls in Philadelphia, and that Hancock
Is fully able 10 suppress any disorder
there. kilograms from Chicago and
other points show a similar state OF
affairs there, and the Secretary Of War
explained the movement OF troops. A
regiment OF infantry will be ordered west
from the Department OF the South TO
strengthen the Federal forces in that sec.
ton. The President and Cabinet feel
confident that the government is fully
able to suppress any disorder with the
force nov available, and the prompt
action Of the Secretaries Of War and
Navy in diSposing Of the United States
forces quietly so as to aid the civil
authorities met the approval OF all. Sew.
eral military commanders now have
ample forces at their disposal, and other
troops are within reach TO reinforce them
without delay in case OF necessity. The
War Department ordered strong force
Of the 9th Infantry to proceed to Rock
Island, ILL.,, and there await further or
ders. Eight additional companies Of
infantry have been ordered TO St. Louis.
Six companies Of the 22d infantry, on
dutyin the Sioux country for some time
past, are on their return to the Depart.
ment Of the Lakes and have been ordered
to stop at Chicago.
The government has mads complete
arrangements for having immediate tele-
graphic communication with every port
where strikes are. Every signal observer
has been ordered to inform the War De.
partment Of the situation Of affairs in his
vicinity.

Mayor Sweeney requests that We sug.
gsst 10 the mill men and railroad men
the propriety Of forming companies to be
clothed with special police powers for the
protection Of the various properties in
which they are interested. Also that all
citizens as far as practicable Join in sini.
lar organizations for the general protec.
tion Of property throughout the city
Nothlugis better established than that the
laWlessness which haGwithin the last three
days resulted in such terrible destruo.
tion Of property has not been participated
in by the strikers. On the other hand
information from all points shows that
the railroad and other striking workmen
are actively combining for the protection
Of property against the hordes Of trumps
which swarm like locusts into every city
and town that promises harvest for
them from the prevailing excitement.
All along the line Of the B. 4 o. the
strikers have organized and are empty
ing the miserable tramp lalaroni out OF
the cars and into the ditches like no much
filthy excrota,
Wheeling has nothing to fear except
from the horde Of tramps which seems to
be congregatiug here with tho czpecta-
tion that something may turn up to their
advantage, and she looks to her mill
men and railroad men to protect her
great interests from the ravages of these
public pests.
All that is wanted to clear them out Of
the city in less than twenty.four hours
is organization, and this We hope to zee
the Mayor effect with the least possible
delay. Let US see that the Wretches who
have done so much within the last few
days to disgrace the IAmerican name, get
in none of their work of fendish destruc.
ton on US.

and numerous buildings being erected,
and all places where labor was being done,
and compelled complete cessation Of
manual labor all over the city. There

Strike GencraI nt chicago.

CHICAGO, July 24.-The strike Of the
railroad hands has become general in
Chicago. 1t was inaugurated last night,
as reported in these dispatches, by a strike
among the switchmen on the Michigan
Central road, and this morning the entire
force Of the road Joined them. These
men, who claim that by the arrogance,
unkindness and penuriousness Of the
management, they have been forced into
the strike, gathered in force this
morning, visited other railroad men
in the city and induced them ali
with the exception Of the employees
Of the Northwestern railroad, to
strike; consequently at this hopr none
but passenger trains are on the road, all
others being laid up. A mob, among
whom are but few strikers but which is
composed Of disreputables, is circulating
to the number OF about 500 on the West
Side and compelling all classes Of work
men to quit work. The railroad offices
present deserted aspect an d the yards
are quiet. No depreciation Is being done.
The policy Of most OF the roads Is to send
away as many cars as possible.
