NO CHANGE All ST. LOUIS. Strikers and Elm plOyers Both Satisfied
 With the Situation.

ST. LOUIS, April 1o.-Both parties are seemingly content with the situation, there fore the strike presents no changes to- day. A story has gained circulation that in order to impress Governor Oglesby with the inn pression that the militia in East St. Louis is standing necessity the railway officials lately fixed up plan to have the militiamen fired on now and then, blank cartridges to be used. This is denied, however. Military rule in East St. Louis seems to become more burdensome to the people. Complaint is made that the most peaceably disposed citi- zens are arrested and thrown into the guard house if they happen to look like laborer on strike. This too is denied, but the guard house is kept full of men. The final failure of the citizens committee to get hearing from the resident directors of the Missouri Pacific. occurred to day, Whereat there is some indignation. Mir. Hoxie publishes daily reports that the road is doing greater business than ever before and smiles at all attempts at arbitration.
 The little rolling mills which have been closed on account of being unable to get coal started up to day, employing 425 men. Business continues to increase at the stock yard. The Wabash yards in North St. Lou is doing their regular business. It is all legged that Superintendent Tallmadge to-day issued an order not to take back any of the strikers.

NOT READY FOR EIGHT HOURS.

MT. POWderly ChinKs WOrkmen Can
 not Net Shorten Their Days Work.
 SCRANTON, Pa, April 19.-General Mas ter Workman Powderly went to Washington this afternoon to testify before the congress sional committee appointed to investigate the cause of the southwestern strike. He stated emphatically that no demonstration would be made by authority of the Knights of Labor in favor of the eight hour movement on May 1, and said the country is not yet prepared for such change. He is in favor of lessen ing the hours of labor, but is opposed to nasty action and says there must be a full discussion of the subject and complete un- derstanding of it in all its bearings by em- ployer and employe before any steps are taken to introduce such system. The in terest of manufacturers, contractors and workmen must be thoroughly considered in framing such programme, and there is not sufficient time to do this before the first of next month. He added that the Knights of Labor had not at any time been for inaugural ing the eight hour movement and would not do so until the country was fully prepared for it.

A FruftIess Chase by Crowd of

 Just after the City Hall clock had finished striking ten last evening, the fire alarm bells rang out No. IS and few moments later the members of the fire department and sev eral hundred people were hurrying towards the corner of Broad and Oak streets where the box was located.

The alarm had been caused by a slight fire in John O'Donnell's barn on Oak street near Broad street, which had been put out with pail of water. Some one who had been smoking in the barn proba bly, was the cause of the fire.

New African Cotton Fields.

Africa has 50 long been regarded as a
steady consumer of imported cotton,
that the idea of her ever becoming a
producer, and entering the cotton mar
kct as a rival to the United States would
doubtless appear to most people as i'm
possible as that the scanty and unprofita-
bic tea plantations of Southern Russia
should one day surpass the finest growth
Of China. Yet this seeming cxtrayagant
idea was gravclv discussed years Hgo by
one Of the geat@st living authoitics upon
all questions connected with Africa, and
pronounced perfectly feasible not only by
him but hy several other competent
judges. Strangely enough, recent events
in the northeast of the Dark Continent
seem to have shaped themselves on pur-
pose to favor the making of this extraor-
binary experiment, which aims at moth
ing less than the reclaiming OF the entire
Nubian Desert at one blow, and the turn
inc of the whole extent of that vast re-
gion that lies between the Upper Nile
andithe Red Sea into one gigantic cotton
plantation. The scheme is undoubtedly
a colossal one, but q generation which
has constructed the Suez Canal and the
Mont Cents Tunnel, and which is now
considering the feasibility Of submcrging
the entire western half Of the Sahara
Desert beneath the Atlantic, can hardly
venture to pronounce it impossible or
even improbable. Broo1}yl Union.
