~[spEo1AL TO THE SENTINEL
CHICAGO, June 6.-There is little change
sumed. One of the docks OF the Joliet
Iron and Steel Company is under guard OF
a detachment of police. Large gangs of
strikers have lowered around, but made
no violent demonstration. Some fears are
expressed that they will attempt to repeat
the Bridgeport exploit of attacking the
train as the laborers go home, if any op-
~portunity offers. The detectives are still
without a clue to the perpetrators. A large
number of arrests have been made, but all
have been able to prove alibis. 1t is now
believed than it was the work of Bridge
port young roushs, led by a few strikers.
At Iroudale the employers and strikers
alike are waiting for the result at Pitts
burg to furnish a basis Of settlement.
The brickmakers are still out. Only one
yard is running with non-Union men.
Most of the striking tanners are reported
to be anxious to return to work, but are

ers. Most of them arc out of money.
1t is stated that the employing horse
shoers will accede to the demands Of the
strikers and stop using machine-made
shoes.
~PITTsBURG, June 6.-The iron situation
continues without material change. The
latest incidents are regarded by the work
men as indicative OF their final success. A
few days before the strike commenced
Oliver Brothers & Phillips, who employ
5000 men and are the largest manufactu-
rers OF specialties in the country, ordered
repairs to their works which would require
three months to complete. 1t is now
stated that they will be ready to run within
a month. Other manufacturer have also
countermanded orders for extensive re-
pairs. The workmen are of the opinion
that while the manufacturers of this dis
trict want to resist the demand as long as
possible, they have determined not to al
low those of other districts to get the bet
ter of them, and on the indications of a
general break they will quickly follow suit
in order to get hold of their trade. Several
firms have already been compelled to buy
Eastern iron to fill their contracts.
WAREHAM Mass June 6.-The opera
tives of the South Wareham Nail Factory
struck to-day for higher wages.
CONVICTION (Ky.l, June 6.-The strikers
met yesterday afternoon, but after a long
session failed to agree. They have appealed
to President Jarrett.

DALLAS Texas, June 6.-Early yester-
day morning an attempt was made by four
press train on the Missouri Pacific road,
near Denton. The train was tagged, but
suspicious having been aroused 1t did not
stop. When the robbers attempted to
board the train they were met with a vol
ley, which put them to flight. They mis-
took the msil for the express car. One Of
them is reported dead. A posse is in hot
pursuit Of the remaining three.
GALVESTON, June 6.-To-day the body
OF one of the robbers, riddled with bull
lets, was found a short distance from the
scene Of the skirmish. 1t was identified
as that Of s. P. Shelton, the son of a re-
spectacle Johnson County farmer. An
other member of the gang, James Carter,
also a farmer, has surrendered to the au-
thoritles. He says that two professional
robbers induced them to assist in the rob-
berry, but he refuses to give their names.
Carter once served two years for theft.
Congressional Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-The scheme to
pass the River and Harbor Appropriation
bill, under suspension Of the rules in the
House was abandoned. Mr.. Page, chair
man Of the committee, who was instructed
to put the bill upon its passage, decided
that it had best be brought up in regular
order and fully debated before its passage.
The House was not in a liberal mood, and
while a combination Of great magnitude
had been expected, by providing for the
local interests OF over two-thirds Of the
members, a large minority was opposed to
voting away 81, 000, 900, with only half an
hours debate, and under suspension of
the rules.
To-day the General Deficiency bill will
be considered, and when it is out Of the
way the River and Harbor bill will be
taken up. Three days time will in all
probability be required to pass it.

New YORK, June 6.-Touching the sto-
ries Of Gen. Grants bankruptcy. an ex.
cellent authority has the following: Gen.
Grant told me that from England, as we'll
as from China, Germany, Japan and other
he has read letters and kilograms
asking whether these rumors are true, in
some cases stating the regret that the
news had created among his friends, but
that all this had assumed a character quite
disagreeable to him. He told me that he
had not invested a single cent in stock
in which it was supposed he
had lost his money, and those rumors had
no other object han to affect certain
stocks in the market, and for the purpose
OF depreciating them; that for a long time
past he had made up his mind not to con-
tradict any of the umor published about
and that for this reason he had not
contradicted in a formal manner those
which referred to his supposed financial
ruin, but that privately he had to tell his
friends that it was entirely false, and that
he had not lost a single cent in the opera
attributed to him.
