ST. LoUIS-Gov. Marmaduke has sent I5C militia to Sedana, Mo-, to aid in repressing the trouble likely to arise there out of the railrua ad strikes. The Missouri Pacific Is refusing freight, and Is dischargIng or suspendlng many emp ioy- ees not connected with the stIike. Some oi the Wabash men are on strike here, and others say they will strike.
 SEDALIA-Men in great numbers are about the railroad offices, defiant and firm in their position. Not car of freight is being moved, and there is no likelihood of any being moved. Business is almost at a stand>tin and the out look is gloomy. The strikers have msnife>ted no disposition to dtstroy property. The strikers are eHubittered because thirty Pinker- ton detectives have arrived, who are hired by the railway company. Adjt.-Gen. Jameson had & conference with the strikers and in- formed them that they must not prevent trains from moving. The pay car arrived. but the strikers refused to receive their wages, be- cause, they said, that would sever their con- nection with the railroad company, and be- sides, the pay car was not due for five days. There are now over seventy engines in the round house and yards which have been killed by the strikers and over ten miles of loaded freight cars on the side tracks. No passenger trains have yet been stopped, but no passen- gers have arrived from west of KansLs City or 'uth of Parsons, since Sunday.
 MoBERLY, Mo. Notwithstanding the Mis- souri Car and Foundry Company, who have leased the nADd n ISd1lIOhu bHODS lere, nave announced that they are ready to receive ap- plications for labor, not one of the men who struck some days ago have applied for work although thy could obtain from the car com pany better wages than they demanded from the railroad company. They say they will not resume work until the old wages ara restored to every workman on the entire Wabash system.
 KANSAS CIrY.-The strikers decided to offer no interference with the m Ivement of traius on the Waba, h road, it being under the pr,,- lection of the Federal Court. That road is consequently running freight as well as pas senger trains. The Missouri Pacific passenger trains are not interfered with, but no freights in their demand for restoration of wages to the scale of October last.
 DALLAS, Texas.-The strike is hourly grow ing more serious. All the track walkers and section men joined the strikers Yard engines and gravel trains in and near Dallas were vegetables, and other perishable proper y are side-tracked, and all the markets are nearly bare, and prices have advanced nearly double. This class of goods is being carried in large quantities in mail cars, passen- ger coaches and by express companies. The has increased 5G0 per cent in the last week The railroad officials have served notice on the various county and city authorities de- manding protection, and declaring their inten- ton to hold the communities responsible for losses. Gov. Ireland has issued a proclama- ton against the strikers, and called on the county and city authorities to do their duty under the law and aid the companies n pro tectlng their property and in moving trains.
 The strike on the roads continues to spread and to grow in determination of the emp oyees to accept no terms short of restoration of the old scale of wages. No freight lraIBs are allowed to move, the engineers deserting their in Eumnafhv with kloA4 Sk1-tk Q shop hands. The Missouri State tro pS are in camp near Jefferson City, the Goyern.r hold ing them ready to Pr'tect property in case the strikers should resCrt to violence.
