THE STRIKE.
BOTH PARTIES REMAIN UN-
MOVED.
Attempts by the Railroads TO
surround the situation.

NEW YORK, June 27.-The freight
handlers strike remains in the same
condition as Yesterday, neither party
showing any signs OF yielding. The
strikers remain peaceful and quiet.
The streets i'll the neighbOrhood of
the various depots are blocked up
with trucks loaded with freight.
At pier 80 (the Pennsylvania rail-
road) fifty Italians are at work. One
of the officials here said they receiy-
ed all the freight that came yester-
day, and expected to do something
to-day. Some Italians were at work
to-day i'll the New York Gen.
trail and Hudson river depots
in st. Johns park. No freight was
being received then, but an effort was
being made to handle what was
already taken in. Thousands of
dollars worth of perishable goods
are awaiting here to be removed.
The Erie and Pennsylvania depots,
near the battery, are in the same
condition as yesterday, piles of
freight and no facilities for moving
it. The steamboat lines are doing
an immense business, and steps are
on foot among the striking freight
handlers to induce the men who
load these boats to join them in the
strike, and thus make it impos-
sible to move the freight,
either by land or water. 1t was
limited at to-day. by some of the
strikers. that if these men can be
got to join them further increase
to twenty-five cents may be de-
handed. The Delaware, Lackawana
and Western railroad company
have a few men at work. and are
moving a few trains. The Erie COM
pany is having freight handled on
two of their nine piers. In Jersey
City, on dock G, large quantity of
west bound freight is being shipped
with the aid of clerks from va
rious offices, who have been
pressed into service to fill the
places Of the striking checkers.
The company resumed work
last night i'll the elevator with
small force of men. The Pacific
company are apparently working
more men than the other three COM
panies together, and are shipping
their freight over the road with lit.
tie noticeable delay. A strong force
of regular and special officers pro-
tect the men, and outsiders are ex-
cluded from their yard. The New
jersey Central railroad is working a
large force. The Jersey City police
commissioners continue to swear in
all newcomers as special policemen.
These men are paid and fed by the
different railroad companies. The
commissioners have written guar
antee, signed by the different com
panles, in which the latter assume
all expense incurred by the police
men.
PHILADELPHIA, June 27.-The Of
.ficials of the Pennsylvania. railroad
state that freight IS now suffering
but little detention in New York.
The men who have returned to work
have done so voluntarily, and no
advance in wages has beer made or
promised to them.

POLITICAL NOTES.

This Republican congress will not
adjourn until it is certain that every
dollar of the years income will be
frittered away on fraudulent pen
sioners and two inch creeks. Re
publican fiscal ability means the
ability to fool away the public
money.
In commenting upon the Demo-
cratic disposition of the Tennessee
debt, Massachusetts Republican or
gans should endeavor to show that
the Massachusetts, legislature took a
solitary step during the recent ses-
sion to remove the stigma of repu-
diation from that state. We have
not observed any legislative action
on the subject.

There is a man in this city who

speak of is sharper than tacks, and
well posted on all objects of inter-

put on vacant expression and seem
to be the most ignorant person in the
world. He was at party recently,

from an interior city who was q
guest, and the first thing he said to
her after the compliments of the
season, was;

The young lady did not ex-
actly comprehend what he
was driving at, and said
beg pardon, ETC., when he remarked
to her that Greeley was dead, and
he put on q sorrowful expression
and added that Greeley was a great
man. The girl, who had known of
the decease of the great editor for
many years, was astonished at the
man, and looked at him as though
she thought he was far behind the
times, or fooling her, but he put on
such a vacant, esthet, lah-de-dah

crazy, and she excused herself and
went into the retreshment room.
He was telling friend about his in

heard of Greeley's death? She lives

He has positively declined to allow
