TIN Can strike.
BALTIMORE, Sept. Ito the great
surprise Of those most interested, the
strike of the tin can makers became
general today, and there Is an entire
suspension of that industry. Several
employers offered within cents per 100
of the demand Of employees, but the
sffer was rejected. The stock OF cans
on hand 10 said to be large, al there is
exhibited no disposition to yield by
either side in the controversy.
Grant and RawIins.
New YORK. Sept. 1.-Dana, in a Sun
leader, renews his charge that Grant
owed an unreoognizsd obligation to
Ravlins. He says, General
seige OF Vicksburg. of which
his own account appears today in
magazine, Is a graphic and truthful
narrative As far Al it goes. We cannot
Suppress our regret that he has omitted
reference to the influence which guided
him safety through the perils which sur
rounded him and kept him in chief
until he indicated himself
by the splendid campaign which ended
with the investment Of Petersburg. We
are iustisi ed from personal knowledge
in saying that Rawlins was potent
factor in much OF what took place.
Grant could have told how persistent
Rawlins was In advancing his plan,
which resulted In the capture of Vicks-
burg, and which Grant finally adopted,
bat he fails even to mention the name
of kawlins. A complete history Of
Vicksbnrg has yet to be written"
