The police say the af-

} w.
to strike to-day. The police say the af
, fair fell through.
. Interest in the great strikes appear tc
increase rather than decrease. Through.
out the city the matter has now assumed
proportions which seem likely to affect
every man in a greater or less degree
and has become the one question of the
hour, which is discussed in all places OF
public resort. There is very general
conviction in New York that the police
and military are quite strong enough to
quell any attempt to repeat the disorders
in this city which have been attended
with such disastrous consequences else
where. A special reliance is placed upon
the police force, which has, on several
previous occasions, proved its temper
and its courage.
The interruption of railroad commu-
nication has seriously affected the pro-
vision market. In few days, if the con-
dition of affairs does not improve, New
York will be without meat, and our citi-
zens will be compelled involuntarily to
adopt vegetarian diet. There is as yet
no advance in the retail prices of meat,
but retail dealers are already beginning
to suffer, as wholesale dealers have ad-
vanced their prices. An abundant sup
ply of meat can be shipped to this city
within twenty-four hours of the resump-
tion of traffic upon the railroads. There
is very large supply of butter in market,
although there is scarcity of the very
finest grades. There is an abundance of
dried meats for future consumption.
Other branches Of business are of
course affected by the failure of transpor-
tation. The grocery, metal, hide, leath-
er, and wool trades, and all produce mar
kets are suffering. The general stagna-
tion of business is proved by the appear
ance of Broadway, which to-day is COM
paratiyely quiet and empty.
President Sloan, of the Delaware
Lackawana and Western road has issued
the following:
"Owing to the unsettled condition of
transportation the coal call of 10000
tons advertised for'this day is indefinitely
postponed"
THE TROOPS MAINTAIN ORDER AT AL
BANY-GovERNoR ROBINSON OFFERS
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD FOR
PERSONS INTERFERING WITH RAIL-
WAYS.
ALBANY, July 25-9 p. m.
Gen. Carr telegraphs that all is quiet
at West Albany. The troops are in pos
session of the round and freight houses,
and freight can be sent without any trou
BILE. Everything in the city is quiet, and
no further disorder is apprehended here.
The Governor says that his dispatches
from all parts of the State are satisfacto-
ry, and he expresses the opinion that
the strike is now entirely under con-
troll.
Governor Robinson has issued proc
lamation reciting the law, which pun
ishes with ten years imprisonment and
$1,000 fine any kind of tampering with
railroad trains or tracks. He offers
reward of $500 for the arrest and convic-
tion of every such offender.
SCRANTON, Pa, July 25-9 p. m.
The excitement here is intense. All
trains on the Delaware, Lackawana and
Western Road have been stopped.
When the mail train from Binghampton
for New York arrived at $50 this morn
ing two passenger cars were detached by
the strikers, who said that nothing but
mail cars should run. Superintendent
Halstead said that the mail car would
notrun unless the passenger cars were
alse permitted to 60. This made the
strikers, very indignant. The superin-
tendent was firm, however, and the mails
were taken from the car, which was
promptly switched off. The strikers tel
egraphed at once to the State authorities
that the company refused to run the mail
car, and that they would run it ifneces-
sary and furnish fremen and engineer.
A dispatch to the same effect was sent to
the postofice at Washington. The
streets are thronged with men from the
mines, railroad and iron mills.
SYRACUSE, July 25-9 p. nj.
At East Syracuse this forenoon the
passenger trains were stopped by strikers,
but afterwards were allowed to start.
The mail cars had been placed at the rear
of the trains, and as the other cars could
not be detained without interfering with
the mails, the trains were allowed to pass
on. The efforts to cause general strike
at Syracuse this morning were not sue
cessful. The local authorities have per-
fected strong organization to repress
any outbreak.
PATERSON, N. j., July 25-9 p. m.
The striking silk weavers here are be-
coming demonstrative. A non-striker
was badly hurt this morning by one man
and two women. Warrants have been
issued for their arrest. The strikers are
mostly French and Germans pervaded
by Communism. An uneasy feeling pre-
walls here, but the authorities are firm
and determined.
~ GALVESTON, July 25-9 p. m.
Special dispatches to the Nt,aUs from
Marshal and Dallas report strike on the
Texas Pacific.
DETERMINED CONDUCT OF MAYOR AND
BUSINESS MEN OF LOUISVILLE.
LOUISVILLE, July 25-12.30 p. m.
Seven hundred militia, many of them
influential and worthy citizens, are on
duty armed with guns and pistols. The
police number one hundred and seventy
five. Business houses are closing and
storekeepers are preparing to join the
militia. The, very, worst elements ARE
mixed in with the idlers who began the
trouble Mayor Jacobs has issued orders
to trife with none, but.to use prompt
and effective measures to suppress, the
least indications of violence or talk there
of. The excitement continues great, but
it is thought no trouble will occur during
the day, but tonight may bring about
serious consequences. The mayor has
ordered all liquor saloons to close.
The laboring men of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad are not included in
the number whose wages were raised yes
terday. They have got work and so
have the moulders rnd workmen gene
rally.
