The Texas Pacific Strike.

GALVESTON. Texas, March local
weston NewS' Dallas: The section hands
here employed on the Texas Pacific
struck this morning on theinvitation of
couriers, who passed through on hand
car. The strikers drew the fire from
three engines. The company will at
tempt to recover the engines tomorrow,
to begin moving number of idle trains
A call was issued tonight by the
Friends of Labor" for a mass meeting
on Thursday, the object being to raise
funds to assist the strikers at other
points, who are reported as suffering
for breadstuffs. Bloodshed is appre-
hended, if the company attempts to
move trains with small force.
A Palestine special says the yard
shops at that point are now in charge OF
Sheriff Davies and deputies, who took
out several trains to-day. The strikers
have been excluded from the yard.
At Marshall, to-day, the county and
city officials we're notified by the rail
road company that, if the civil authori-
ties do not intervene to break up the
strike and prevent the stopping OF
trains, the company will hold the county
liable for the damages arising from the
interruption of business. On receipt OF
the notice, County Judge Keller inter
viewed a committee of strikers, who
assured the judge that no violence was
contemplated. The civil authorities
thereupon decided not to interfere. This
is regarded as victory for the strikers
who remain quite firm.

wheat and Corn.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The report
of the consumption and distribution of
corn and wheat from statistical returns
by the Department of Agriculture,
shows that 3714 per cent. of the last crop
OF corn remains in the farmers hands,
against So per cent. for the 1st of March (,
1885. The,supply ON the farmers hands,
last March, was 512, 900, 009 bushels; the
remainder is now about $4,000, 600.
Two years ago the stock remaining at
the same date was 585 900, 900 or 1858
per cent. of the CROP, 617 900 600. The
amount shipped is few millions less
than last year. The exports equal
Is, 900 900 bushels, against $4,000 for
the same date in 1884, and commercial
receipts at western markets are also
less, the full eastern crop reducing
slightly the demand, notwithstanding
the reduction in price. The proportion
Of merchantable corn is very large, 81
per cent, against average 80 per cent.
for the same period of Years. and 60 for
last year.
The wheat reported in the farmers
hands is about SO per cent. of the crop,
169,000, 900 bushels or 50,000,000 bushels
more than the stock of last March,
when the crop was less by 100000
bushels. There has been a slightly freer
use of wheat for bread, and little of
poorer quality has been fed to stock.
The stock, March LIST, 1883, was 28.5 per
cent. of the previous crop, or 143,000,0OO
bushels; and that of March LIST, 1882, was
95,000000 bushels. The quality re-
ported is about the average in every
western State, except Illinois and
Missouri and in nearly all Atlantic and
Gulf coast States.

England and Russia

LONDON, March 1O.-The Pail Mall
Gazette says it believes in the correct
ness of the news received last evening,
to the effect that Russians advanced
their outposts in Zulpikar Pass further
south, instead of withdrawing north as
requested by England. The Gazette
states that there can be no doubt that
grave fears are entertained of col
llslon between Russian and Afghan
troops, as this last advance placed the
opposing Outposts face to face, and has
taken Russians much nearer Afghan
territory. There is no indication, SAYS
the Gazette, that Russians have gone be-
yond what they consider the Afghan
boundary line.
Government has not yet received a
definite reply from Russia to their latest
ooYertureS for an amicable adjustment of
the Afghan frontier dispute
