however, and the troops left with
10000 ball cartridges. The employees
of the Missouri, Pacific aud ct. Louis
are still quiet and at work and say
they have no present intention to
strike. The men discuss the situa.
ton very closely and it is believed
the departure of the greater part Of
the militia of the city will have bad
effect in encouraging the strikers.
The Missouri Pacific refuses freight
and is discharging or suspending
many employees not connected with
the strike. Some of the Wabash men
are out here. The Others say they
will strike. 1t is said the Missouri
Pacific company hired q number Of
Pinkerton detectives and sent them
up t. Sedalia armed with Winchester
rifles to protect their property until
the troops arrive.

Foundry Company who have leased
the Wabash railroad shops here and
will hereafter conduct them have
announced they are ready to receive
applications for labor irrespective of
past or existing troubles, not one of
the men who struck some DAYS ago
has applied for work although there
is no doubt they could obtain from
the car company as geod or better
wages than they demanded from the
railroad company. They say they
will not resume work until the
former wages are restored to every
workman on the entire Waba ,h
system. They claim to have advices
that by tonight or to.norro every
workman on the Wabash road will
be on strike.

WASHINGTON, March ll.-There
was about the usual rush Of visitors
to the White House to-day. The
cresident arose early and at once be-
took himself to opening his mail,
which was unusually large As one
Of the clerks at the White House put
II: "President Cleveland receives az
many letters in day az ex-President
Arthur re eelved in week." 1t is q
fair inference that many letters re-
late to appointments to office. The
President ran hurriedjy through his
mail, and tnen began the reception
of visitors, many OF whom had been
in waiting some time. Among the
callers were congressional delegations
from Kentucky, Illinois, Iowa,
Moth Carolina and Florida. The
secretary of war called about noon
aud had long conference with the
President. AT one o'clock tho doors
of the White House were thrown
open to the pu0lic, and the President
was kept busy receiving callers for
over an hour. - - -....--.
Col. Lamont said to-day that the
reduction In the clerical force in the
White House was made merely in
the interest Of economy; therefore no
appointments will be made to ill the
vacancies created. he said there
might possibly be one or two more
changes in the personnel of the force,
but that would be all. Since Prest-
don< fyIauo1 nAIo inon~,,rn<;on kh~
entire clerical force, incluiing his
private secretary, has been buslly en-
gagged from 8 o'clock in the morning
until midnight. 1t is expected the
rush of business will compel the con-
tlnuance of these working hours for
some time to come. One of the reg
ulations of the house prohibits em-
pl0yes smoking In offices.

Mississippi, was to-day nominated
