CRIMES AND MIsHAPs.

The strike on the Missouri Pacific Rail
road continues. On the 9th the Missouri
Pacific and Wabash mechanical employees
of West Kansas City went out. Business in
the fresght yards was brought to a stand
still. There was no attempt to send pass
enger trains north of LeaVenWOrth on ac-
count of the trouble at AtchisOn. The yard
men and helpers at Joplin have struck also.
At AtChisOn things are assuming a grave
nature. No trains on the Missouri Pacific
are allowed to go out except an engine and
mail car. This programme was continued
untilnOOu to-day, when the Superintendent
took the bold stand that the company was
not required under the Federal law to
carry mails on other than regular pas
s6nger trains, with full compliments Of
coaches, and gave positive orders that the
mail car should not 60 out without the
regular passenger coaches attacked. Major
John n. CrOWell, the POstOfice inspector,
then appear d, and warned the strikers that
under such a construction Of the law, the
strikers would be liable for stopping the
mail. This OCcasiOned q hasty consultation,
and it was finally agreed to let ali passenger
trains go through hereafter, and they are
now running regularly. Gov. Martin has
been asked to send the State Militia to the
scene, which he will probably do to-day.
. Gov. MarmGduke of Missouri has also been
aaked to call out the militia to suppress the
strike at Sedalia.
