THE LABOR AGITATION.
THE STRIKE ON THE GOULD SYSTEM
NO NEARER SETTLEMENT.

citation in Session.

ST. LOUIS, March 16.-Hopes for the
southwest system seem no nearer realiza-
ton this morning than they have since
the knights laid down their tools and
ceased work. The effect of the injunc-
ton recently granted restraining the
strikers from trespassing upon the com
pany's property or interfering with their
efforts to move freight trains has not had
its desired effect upon suburban traffic, at
least for as soon as the trains pass
through the yards in the city they are
met by strikers who either prevail upon
the engineer and fireman to leave their
engine or else they sidetrack the train.
The company seems powerleas to prevent
this, for however carefully they may
guard their trains while in the depot
yards, it is evidently impossible for them
to extend the guard any further along the
tracks. 1t is expected another attempt to
move freight trains will be made to-day
Numbers of strikers are congregated just
outside of the yards. but they maintain
perfect quiet. An attempt to send out the
kirkwoOd accommodation tram this
morning failed, the fireman deserving the
engine before it was attached to the train
house. No attempt has been made to re-
sumo freight traffic as yet. The situation
in East st. Louis is unchanged, no strike
having as yet occurred among the dissat-
isfed switchmen. Considerable anxiety
is felt rs to the outcome of the new com
plicatlOn, but the railway officials gen
orally express confidence in their ability
to adjust matters before their employees
determine to strike. The board, after a
long discussion of what constituted inter
ference issued orders to Chief of Police
Harrigan to use his force TO prevent tres
passing upon the cOmpany's property
within the city limits and Interference
with railroad trains therein.
SHREVEPORT, La, March 16.-The ru-
NOR that arms were being purchased here
yesterday To be used against the strikers
at Marshall and along the line Of the
Texas and Pacific railroad for the protec-
ton of property created great excitement.
An Investigation developed The fact that

chase number of the latest improved
Winchester rifles for the use of his depu-

that enough had been secured through the

day which was chosen by the Continental

that the one hundredth anniversary of the
Inauguration of George Washington be

successor in 1889, upon the same day, and
that this should be the day hereafter for
beginning the administration of the gov

THE LOUISIANA LOTTERY.
The Concern Given Direct Blow by
President Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, March l7.-The appoint
ment of Civil Service Commissioner Tren-
holm as comptroller of the currency is
said to be direct blow at the Louisiana
lottery. He was strongly supported for
the place 10y both the South Carolina sen
ators and by the entire delegation of that
State in Congress. 1t is we'll known that
Senator Hampton is strongly opposed to
the lottery He was, it is said offered
the position of commissioner of that con-
Germ at a salary of $4,000 per year, and
was told that he would only be required
to preside at the drawings and permit
the use of his name He fatty refused
and used rather strong language
about it, to the effect that it was
not exactly the sort of business for gen
tleman to engage in. Some time since the
postoflice department refused to transmit
money for the lottery people, and ordered
the postmaster at New Orleans not to pay
any orders made payable to the concern
OF three or four of the leading ma
tional banks at New Orleans, and
advertises that pOstotiice orders should be
made payable to the banks. The at
tention of the president was some
time since called to the inconsistency of
permitting the national banks to do what
the postoflce had been forbidden to do.
Certain legal objections were urged
against any action in regard to the banks,
but 1t is believed that the new comptroller
Will find some way to put q stop to the
business. 1t estimated that more money
goes from this city to the lottery than
from any other city Of the same popula-
ton Nearly all the papers here print the
advertisements of the drawings.

to the population is much less than
the European average, and falls very
decidedly below the proportion main
tanned in such states as Russia, Aus

that the death ratein France is below

the diminishing rate of increase in the

the decreasing number of births.
