This revised series is n great improvement
upon the old. both as to Intrinsic merit and
commercial value. The paper, Typography.
binding and Illustrations are of superior quail
ity. And the merits of the books, together
with the taste and beauty of their general APP
pcarance. renders it desirable to use the 50 Re
Yised Edition. instead of the old in orr schools.

spect, firmly carried out.

He slept soundly, although the night
was very stormy. The physician says
his pulse is Of fair volume at so, but
not SO good as it had been up to three
days ago. The doctor believes his pa
tient has not recovered the strength
lost Wednesday afternoon. General
S. b. Buckner and wife visited General
Grant to-day. Grant and Buckner
were classmates at West Point, and
Buckner was the first Confederate gen.

was affecting and the interview lasted
an hour. Grant afterwards showed
considerable fatigue as a result of the

LABOR TROUBLES.
The Lumber Mill Mems Strike in Michigan
The Employers Coming TO Terms


[By telegraph to the Dispatch.l
BAY CITY, MICH, July lO.-The
strike among the lumber-mill employees
in this city showed very little change
last night. What change there was
was in favor Of the strikers. Two
meetings were held yesterday at Madi-
son Park and addressed by State
Representative Barry, Of Saginaw. At
the afternoon meeting Mr.. Green,
of the firm of Green & Stevens,
addressed the strikers, saying he would
give five dollars to aid the strikers, and
also accede to their demand for ten
hours work, with no reduction in pay.
Four other mills are reported as ready
to WELD to the strikers. Chief-ofPo-
lice Murphy was hung in efiigy in South
Bay City for striking man under arrest
Tuesday. Most Of the saloons re-
manned open yesterday, in defiance
Of the mayors proclamation. The
Police Commissioners and mill-men
held a meeting yesterday, the mill
men demanding protection, but nothing
definite was decided on. Later in the
day the strikers paraded the principal
streets with banners and flags, sayin;
they had succeeded and would get all
they demanded. Three hundred stri-
kers leave here to-day for East Sag-
nav to organize a strike there.
EAST SAGINAW, MICH., July 10.
An advance guard Of striking mill en-
ployees, $50 strong. arrived here this
morning and paraded the streets,
escorted by 200 stevedores and band.
The men are very orderly. All the
mills at this end Of the river are run
ming, but will shut down as soon as
their employees intimate desire to
quit work. The Boom Company will
be forced n any event to shut down to-
morrow, as the mills at the lower end
OF the river are stopped and those here
will probably close, and the company
will be unable to take care Of the logs.
This will throw 500 Boom employees
out of work.

Reducing Leaves Of Absence
lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l


WAsHINGTON, July l0.-Thc heads
of the executive departments have been
considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of reducing
the annual leaves of absence to depart
merit employees, and it is understood
that the question was a topic Of discus
sion in yesterdays Cabinet meeting.
The general impression now is that
these leaves will be reduced from thirty
to twenty days. In consequence there
is good deal Of suppressed growing
among the employees, especially in the
PoSt-Ofce department, where the
clerks have been working over time at
night for months past in the attempt to
reduce the accumulation OF business,
which fact they say should entitle them
20 more consideration than would be
shown H. the cuftailment Of leave.

that the Interior Department is strongly
in favor of disarming the Cheyennes,

recommended the adoption of this pre-
caution.

EXECUTIVE MANSION. I
WASHINGTON, July 10, 1885. }
Lieufenanf- General Ph. II. Sheridan
Sir.-In view Of the possible disturb
ances that may occur among the In
dams now in the Indian Territory and
the contemplated concentration Of troops
in that locality, | deem it desirable that
you proceed at once to the location
where the trouble is to be spprehended
and advise with and direct those in
command as TO the steps 10 be taken to
prevent disorder and depredations by In
dams and as 10 the disposition of troops.
Your acquaintance with the history and
habits and customs Of these Indians
leads Inc also TO request that you in
wife statements on their part as to any
real or fancled injury or injustice to-
wards them. or any other causes that
may have led TO discomfort, and to in
form yourself generally as to their
condition. You are justified III assuring
them that any cause Of complaint will
be fully examined by the authorities
here, and if wrongs exist they
shall be remeded. / think | hardly
need add that they must be fully as
srrcd of the determination on the part
OF the Government to enforce their
peaceful conduct, and by all the power
il has at hand to prevent and punish
acts ol lawleSsness and any outrageS
upon our settlers. Yours truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
General Sheridan started tonight for
the West to carry out the Presidents
instructions.
4 telegram received at the War De-
partment to-day indicated that Indian
difficulties had occurred in a new place.
The dispatch was from General Terry,
and read : Colonel Brooks, com
handing the district of Montana, has
received information from the Canadian
authorities that twenty-five lodges of
insurrectionary Canadians under son
Of Big Bear are going towards the
boundary line. They probably intend
to 60 to the Crow Indian reservation,
in Montana. They would be a dis
turbing element if suffered to join our
Indians. who are now on Scanty re-
sources" No action was taken on the
diSpatch to-day.
