St. Louis, midnight 2. The open-air

The strikers are evidently heartily sick

morning, and cars are running on some
lines. The police ere out in force,
assisted by state troops.
The first car appeared on Olive street
at $50. and large crowd gathered, but
The police were able to keep the street
clear. Fifteen mounted police hanked
it, and two were manned by Superintend-
ent Wells two drivers and conductor,
with nine pas engers. a number of the

generally took the police roughness with
good nature, and at ii o'clock the street

The 81" Roads.

New York, 2S.-The World prin's a
detailed account of the net earnings
and actual financial condition Of all the
elevated roads in this city opera ed
under lesse TO the Manhattan Company,
which now asks the city treasury to pay
interest on the bonds out of the
proceeds of the taxpayers of New York,
from which it appears the total earnings
of the Second, Third, Sixth and Ninth
Avenue roads from February 80 to
January 81, inclusive, was 81 sS4, 1884,
and that the actual net income for the
year ending February LIST, 81, ompsred
with the fixed charges in the shape Of
interest and taxes as they are for this
current year, shows that the Metropolitan
Can not, at the present rates and volume
of business, earn its interest and taxes,
and that the New York Elevated barely
succeeds in the thing. The separate taxes
on the Manhattan Company more than
equal the surplus of the roads, leaving
not'iA dollar TO apply to dividends upon
the Metropolitan and New York Elevated
stocks, which the Manhattan is called
upon to pay.

DR.. Arthur and DR.. Aurel Krause,
hitherto professors Of natural science at

TO New York and Washington and thence
to San Francisco, whence they will start
fer their destination. The details Of the

the chance Of finding suitable vessel
will be a thorough exploration of the

lohged stay on the coasts and visit the

will make comprehensive theological,
geological and botanical studies, and will
prepare collections in these regions and
in Alaska. The travellers are thoroughly
prepared AID have equipped themselves
in every respect for this journey, which
is to be of about years duration. They
have been furnished with Instructions
from the leading authorities and Pro-
fessor Nordeuskjold has presented them

AMERICA AND MExEOO.
Friendly Feeling of she Latter
tor the Former.

New York, 2S.-A Washington special
TO the evening papers Gays Major Frank
Digress, of the City of Mexico, arrived
to-day. He left Mexico about nine days
ago. he says that the story about Grant
coming to conquer the country waS
talked of there before he arrived, but
that it made no impression at all upon
the people, as they knew it was a canard
started by foreigners who are interested
in creating prejudice against Americans.
He declared that the Mexicans were Just
as glad to see Grant as the first time he
came. They gave no public reception
for two reasons: frat, they cannot afford
to bs giving big receptions so often; In
the second place, Grant insi.ted that he
was coming simply on business as pri-
vate citizen, aud declined 10 allow a
parade or the expenditure of money on
his account. There is not the slightest
feeling of hostility towards the United
States, Major Digress says, neither
among the common people nor smO e
leading citizens. President Diaz con-
tinues 10 be most popular il. Mexico, and
he is deeply interested in the promotion
of commercial relations with this coun-
try. The fact that the troops have
been reinforced along the frontier
WAS because they thought that
possibly when railroad building began,
lawless characters would come into the
country and that the presence OF the
military would have q restraining infu-
ence upon them. Il was not because
the Mexican government anticipated any
trouble with the United States, or we
hostile to American enterprise. Nj lr
Digfess declares that the public . eju-
dice against Americans has broken down
within the last two years as il oy magic.
His staten may be relied upon, as he
is q gentleman well known as an officer
Of artillery in Legsn's division in the
late war, aud he has been in business in
Mexico, selling arms and machinery, for
the past fifteen years.
New York, d. elegrGm's Washing
ton special: 1t is undei stood that at the
last cabinet meeting in Mexico, its con-
dition and our relation with 1t, was dis
cussed. The friendl:est feeling towards
the sister republic was manifested. In
this connection the Mexican mission was
talked of, and it was agreed that John f
Cahill, of st. Louis, was the bet of the
men suggested for the place. His name
will, it is believed, be sent in as soon as
the deadlock breaks. Another applicant
is Pitkin, of Louisiana. Cahill is en-
dorsed by toe pres snd merchants oftne
Mississippi Valley, and southern demo-
cratic senators Rave informed the Presi-
dent that they will defeat p .tkin If he is
nominated. They will not vote against
CAhill
