LONDON, Jan. 19.-The excitement
caused yesterday by the unusual occur
renee Of a council at the War Office on
Sunday was greatly increased to-day by
the report that the Government has de-
cided to resist any attempt on the part Of
Turkey to occupy any portion OF Egypt or
land troops in that country. There is
considerable hustle and excitement at the
War Office to-day. Orders have been sent
to Chatham, Portsmouth and Woolwich,
which caused much activity at the great
naval stations. Another battalion OF troops
at Malta have been orderedto embark at
once on the steamship Poonah for Alex
andria. Other troops are ordered to be in
readiness to move at q moments notice.
The indications all point tostirring events
in Egypt. There is no doubt that the
ministry u determined not to allow
Turkey to interfere in the Egyptian affair
by placing an armed force in any portion
OF Egypt.
Information was obtained to-day from
one OF the attaches Of the War Office from
which 1t Is fair to assume that the Govern
ment expects quite lively times in Egypt
during tho present campaign against the
Mahdi. The gentleman stated that Gem
eral Lord Wolseley had sent urgent tele-
grams TO the War Secretary requesting the
immediate dispatch Of reipforcements for
the purpose Of holdiHg osman Digna in
check and preventing that aggressive Lieu
tenant OF the Mahdi from harrassing his
rear or cutting up the roads behind him.
General Wolsely," said this informant,
''has intimated all along in his dispatches
that he expected some hard fighting be-
fore the campaign ended, and has never
lost any opportunity TO impress the home
Government with the Importance of send
ing ont several other battalions in addition
TO the force already in Egypt The
above Is partially confirmed by the receipt
by the Central Netrs Of dispatch to Malta
stating that the commanding officer at
that place had received dispatch order
ing the immediate embarkment on the
steamer Poonab, of the Peninsular and
Oriental Line, of another battalion OF
troops for Alexandria.

PrrrsBuRou, Jan. i0.-The Coke Pro-

syndicate hold important meetings to.
morrow, which will decide whether the
ayndicate shall live another year or not.
The Pittsburgh syndicate was formed
pressly provided that the producers
should give sixty days notice OF their in.
tentions, either TO continue or discontinue
their agreement with the syndicate, which
q prominent coke man says is owing solely
TO their refusal TO advance the price Of
coke.
Prior to the formation of the syndicate
coke was selling as low as ninety cents a
ton, but they Immediately advanced the
price TO 81 10, where II still remains. The
producers, however, are said TO favor 81 %
as the price, to which, SO far, the syndicate
refuse 10 acquiesce. The syndicate are the
largest producers in the region, and the
gentleman who informed the reporter OF
these facts said II trade had warranted an
other advance they would have made II
cheerlully. The Producers meeting will
perhaps decide that an advance in price

FoEr WAYNE, 1sD., Jan. ls.-The rail.
road brakeman's strike, which was in.
augurated here Tuesday last, terminated
last evening. The strikers held meet
ingyesterday afternoon and delegated a
committee Of four Of their number to wait
on Mayor zollingerat his residence, which
was done. Later the committee waited
upon Superintendent Law, of the railroad
company, and at this meeting 1t was
agreed that the railroad be permitted TO
run ndouble-header," freight trains il de-
sired, while those Of the striking brake
men who chose TO work will be reinstated
by the company, and will not be dis
charged for their participation inthe strike.
It Is understood that Mayor Zollinger
promised to use his influence TO the end
that the warrants which were sworn out
for the arrest Of the strikers be not served,
and that the railroad company will not
push the matter.
The chairman OF the strikers commit
tee, who was seen by an Associated Press
representative last night, said the strike
was given up because Of the organized
lodges OF conductors and engineers, who
had urged the brakemen to strike, and
who gave them promises Of moral and
financial support, failed to do as they had
agreed. He said: "We have destroyed
no property; we gave the company per
mission to ice any or all Of the cars con.
tanning perishables, or even offered to doit
for them, but they did not accept the offer.
II is o matter OF SOME surprise to the pub
lie to learn that upon Tuesday, the first
day Of the strike, there were, as stated by
the chairman OF the strikers, but six OF the
strikers; upon the day following but
eleven, and at no time has their number
exceeded thirty. But they claim, as has
been heretofore stated, that they could
have called several hundred outside work
men to their aid II they had 50 desired
He said but few, II any, of the strikers
will go back TO work, prefering to seek |
elsewhere.
The railroad officials are very busy here
getting out trains OF freight blockaded
mere for six days past. The Grand Jury,
which has been called in special session,
will assemble this morning, but will prob.
IDLY be dismissed, as the strike is at an

ieyeral times has threatened to go into
