Especial to the SENTINEL
New York, June 30.-It is believed in
certain quarters that the country is on the
eve of a series of strikes, which will per.
meate nearly every industry of any mag.
nitude. The recent strike in this city by
the brewers was probably intended as o
forerunner or inciter of similar move
ments in the same class in other large
cities. but the example Of the New Workers
does not seem to have been followed.
There are now said to be several bodies Of
miners in Ohio and Pennsylvania out on
a strike, n reports from n locality as
sert that 5000 men have quit work. A
circular was issued this week by a we'll
known detective agency. and sent to all
the leading officials Of the various rail-
roads throughout the country, to the
effect that tho agency was in possession
OF information that q most comprehensive
strike is contemplated on or about the 1st
of July by the whole force Of locomotive
engineers; that arrangements for the
strike are being rapidly perfected; that

the last OF August, but that a strike for o
material advance of wages had been de-
termined upon, which, from its far-reach-
ing effect, covering every railroad line in
the country, would not fail of being sue
cessful. The strike, it is believed, will
carry all the working forces upon the rail-
roads with the engineers, and it
is believed to be so thoroughly or
ganized that their employers will be
helpless. In this connection it il also
rumored that the telegraph operators are
forming, or have formed, an organization
looking to their benefit, to offset the cut
ting down OF their pay which has been 60
ing on the past few months. The organ
ization is said to have a good footing in
Cincinnati, st. Louis, Chicago, New York
and other cities. Notwithstanding the fact
that SO many operators have been removed
by the Western Union Company to make
room for the employees Of the recent Amer
lean Union Company, there were mont who
were considered good men but who were
o employed in other positions. Many
OF them left the business in disgust at the
rough treatment they considered they had
received, but a very large number Of them
have found positions where they are better
appreciated and better paid on the increas-
ing number Of private wires. The new
Mutual Union Telegraph Company is pick
ing up a large number of first-class men
in different parts Of the country.
A Mexican Railroad Concession.
New YORK, June 30.-The Tribune SAYS:
Major DeGress and J. Mastello Clark, ed
itor of the Two Republics, Of the city Of
Mexico, arrived yesterday. DeGress, who
served in the Union army during the war,
and who is now one Of the largest mer-
chants in Mexico, recently received con-
c~essions from the Mexican Government for
a railroad from the American frontier to
the City Of Mexico and the Pacific Coast.
The line and its branches will connect
with Laredo, Victoria, Tampioco, San Le-
ons, Tuxpan and the City Of Mexico lines,
with the coast line to some point on the
Pacific Coast. The road is to traverse o
temperate region, and will connect at the
frontier with the international and Great
Northern road. The concession granted to
Major DeGress has been obtained in the
interest Of Jay Gould and his associates.
A ~subvention, amounting to about 81, 800 q
mile, is to be paid from four per cent Of
the receipts. A guarantee Of $50, 900 has
been deposited in Mexico. 1t Ia provided
that the road will be completed within Ave
years. The surveyors have already begun

A Little Unpleasantness.
ALBANY, June ga stir was created
tonight on the main floor Of the Delevan
House, where it is reported that an angry
conversation took place between Assem-.
blyman Crapser, Administration man, and
Assemblymen Bsnis and Phillips and Sen.
ator Winslow, Stalwarts. Crapser charged
the Stalwarts with trying to Destroy the
Republican party by foisting upon 1t can.
didates not acceptable to either the party
or the people. He inferred that the Adj.
ministration men were possessed Of man.
hood sufficient not to be led about with
rings in their noses. The affair created
great excitement.
1t is reported that Vice President Arthur
said tonight that the only way for the Re.
publicans to get out Of this difficulty was
to concentrate on Conkling and Dspew.

Political Intelligence.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-The Democratic |
Senators seem to agree that the action of
the New York Legislature in not balloting
with a quorum on Saturday will furnish
ground for inquiry into the credentials OF
any man who may be chosen by it. They
are not agreed, however, that such an in
quiry would keep any elected Senator out. |
at any rate the Democrats are inclined to |
think they will organize the Committees
