LONDON, January lO.-A dispatch from
Lahore says the projected railway 10 jail
lallabal has been abandoned, The termi.
nus Of the railway will be at Jumeroad.
Adispatch from Cabul says: Discussions
have arisen among the Afghan leaders at
Ghumi. Mahomad Jan has gone to Zur.
nah and Priest Mushk Jalim 10 Wardak.
Moash Khan, eldest son OF Yakoob Khan,
Is now under the sole guidance OF Sirdar
Tarher Kahn, the only Sirdar Of birth
who supports him.
Sirdar Wall Mahomed, son OF former
Ameer Dost Mahomed, has entered upon
his duties as Governor OF Cabul and the
surrounding district. He is the best choice
Gen. Roberts could make, but he is neith-
or strong OF character nor inferior. He
hopes doubtless from tho Governorship to
rise later to the Ameership, to which he
has long been an aspiranl, but the gov.
ernment's choice is in NO way better by
the present appointment.
Gen. Roberts has been revising the for
tiications and greatly extending his posi-.
tion. Two high hills on the west OF the
city are being crowned by strong block.
houses, which will partly command the
neighboring detile. Communication be.
tween shirpur and Calakessir has been Sc.
cured by the erection OF fortified posts on
the Siah Sang hills. The river is to be
bridged between Siah Sang and Shirpur.
All the walls within thousand yards OF
Shirpur are being leyeled and roads arc
being made in all directions.

PITTSBURGH, January ia large num-
ber OF the jonrneymen horseshoers Of this
city struck this morning for an increase in
wages, and before evening the number is
expected to be greatly augmented. The
strike seems TO partake more Of the char
acter OF holiday affair than question
OF bread and butter, and at many Of the
shops this morning both bosses and jour
neymen were discussing thequestion quite
socially and pleasantly. The strike was
sprung on account OF the recent action OF
the bosses In raising the price from 81 70
to 81 90 per set for shoeing, the journey
men, thinking their wages ought TO be
elevated accordingly. On the other hand
the bosses say that they had 10 raise the
price OF shoeing on account Of the rise in
iron and that their profits would have
been very small had they not done 80.
The strikers say that II iron has gone up,
so has everything else, and, as they have
to live as well as the bosses, they ought TO
receive wages commensurate with the
times, and, therefore, want the twelve per
cent additional. This morning q number
OF the strikers paraded out Penn avenue
and were Joined here and there by others
from neighboring shops. They think they
will get the increase In q day or two.

10 the Committee on Military Affairs, tc
which the bill was originally referred and
subcommittee will soon be appointed "a
consider the question. Mr.. Weaver Is
hopeful that the committee will report fa'
yorably, and the friends Of the scheme
count upon the support OF Mr.. Sparks, ol
Illinois, its Chairman, though he declines
as yet to take any public position:
1.-THE committee report the bill back 10
the House, and Mr. Weaver says the pres
sure will be SO strong that they can not
resist II, he says there can be no doubt OF
It's passage. He does not believe that a
majority OF Representatives will dare to
oppose measure demanded BY the SOL
dier vote OF the country. Aud II 1t passes
the House, he feels hopeful 1t will also get
through the Senate, where curiously
enough, In view OF his record during the
war, Voorhees,, OF Indiana, is its chief
champion.
Though his bill provides for the issue Of
FIVE hundred millions in legal tenders,
Mr.. Weaver does not think quite so large
an amount will be required, estimating that
four hundred and fiity millions would an.
swer the purpose. OF course he believes
that such an enormous initiation OF the
currency would be a great thing for the
business OF the, country, since he is the
widest sort OF Greenbacker.
0icourse no such stupendous folly as
this will ever be enacted into law, for Mr..
Hayes could, doubtless, be trusted 10 veto
It In the last instance. The general expec.
tation Is that the Committee on Military
affairs will smother 1t, II they do not ad.
wise outright against It's passage. A great
many members would be dreadfully wor.
ried Il 1t should he reported fayorably,
and there are good judges who think it
might, in that event, pass the House.
