ST. LOUIS, March 10.-1n regard to the
call for troops from Governor Marmaduke,
Lieutenant Colonel Walbridge left with
25o militia and o gatling gun for sedalia,
Mo-, at II O'clock to-day. A riot is very
seriously feared at sedalis, where one
thousand striking railroad employees Of
the Gould system are said TO menace the
property and public peace. The soldiers
left on a special train and will make the
run to sedalia, a hundred and eighty miles,
by four o'clock this evening. The ST.
Louis militia found considerable diff.
Guilty in getting their ammunition final
ly arranged. However, the boys left
with 10000 bali cartridges. The en-
ployes Of the Missouri Pacific in st.
Louis are still quiet and at work, and say
they have no present intention to strike.
The men discuss the situation very closely
and 1t is believed the departure OF the
greater part Of the militia OF the city has
bad effect on the strikers in this city.

pInGNbSlhNt THE aIAhEs
Down along the river most Of the ope.
rators were found in their Offices and dis
cusing the strike. Said 1tr. Ctump, OF
John O. Risher & Co.: "The report this
morning that We have agreed to accede TO
the demand isuntrue in every particular.
Our mines are closed. Weare doing moth
ing, and propose to do nothingin themat-
ter. We can't afford to pay three cents,
and won't do It. al three.cent rate It
is impossible for US to compete with Ka.
nawha coal. That Is the situation at our
works at present"
The offices OF Hays & Co., 7. B. Faw-
cett, Munhall & Co., and other First. pool
operators, were visited. Hays & Co. are
running both their mines. "0ur men arc
all working" said Mr.. Howard. .TThey
seem to be satisfied, and we have heard
no rumors OF q strike Munhall's men
are, lsoworking, and so are .Fawcett's.:
ALL the other mines In the First pool are
closed. j. S. Neel's Cincinnati, Garfield
and Limestone mines are out. The mines
OF o'Neal K Co. and Roberts & Horner, at
Elizabeth are closed The Black Diamond
works OF w. Fl. Brown & Go. are closed,
and most Of the mines in the Second and
Third pools.
Among the railroad mines, those oi. the
Mansfield Coal Company, on the Pan Han
die, are shut down. Three hundred men
are out. The employees refuse to make
any concessions. The mines Of the New
York and Cleveland Company are all at
work to-day. The minersatt the Hampton
mines, at Williamsburg, are all In. The
Turtle Creek mines are closed, but not
on account OF the strike. Along the Bal
hmore 4 Ohio railroad most Of the pits
are idle.
,4 GAINED THEIR POINT.
Three hundred miners employed at the
Birmingham Coal coapany's mines in
baldwin township, gained their point to-
day, and went to work at three cents. It is
thought that the firm was compelled to
give in on account ofhaving large orders
to tlll.,
It is reported that the Saw Mill Run
miners have been offered three cents, and
that they will 60 in tomorrow. At The
Catsburg mine, operated by Steib u Coz
the men went In this morning at the old
price-two and one,half cents, The num-
Der pits idle to-day by reason Of the
strike Is estimated at about two.thirds OF
the whole number in the district.
"What do you think OF the present sit
pation2" was asked prominent operator
this morning. II think 1t is O big mistake
on the part Of the miners, was the ereply,
1.-THE operators viii not pay three eents,
and 1.-THE miners hold out for Il, twill
only be 80 much the worse for them.
Kanawha coal Is selling in the lower mar!
kets for about what we get. They pay two
and one-half cents per bushel to reach the
kanawha outcome. That is our loss, and
yet the miners expect Us to pay them an
unreasonable price. would be glad to
pay three cents II could do It."
