Tho Gould Line Strike.

ST LOUIS, Mo-, March 1.-THE
thirteenth day OF the Gould system
closes with little, II not less, hope Of a
speedy resumption Of freight traffic
Suburban passenger tra ffic has been
partially re established with the aid OF
policemen and deputy sheriffs, whose
presence on the trains prevents the
knights Of Labor from influencing the
engineers to leave their trains. Vice
presidents Hoxie's reply to Martin
Irons, chairman Of the knights
OF Labor Executive Commute, In.
clines many 10 the belief that the
company will attempt no settlement
with the strikers as q body, but that Il
will walt until the number OF new mer
employed on the lines shall be suffioien,
70 carry on its business. Should thii
prove to be true, 1t 10 understood by thu
Knights Of Labor here that the ordel
which called those out who are nov
striking will be followed by one which
will cause every member OF the ordel
employ ed upon the Gould roads ant
their southwestern connections Il
cease work.
The situation so far as the East 81
Louis switchmen Is concerned, remain
unchanged.
The men are at work as usual, and l
is understood that their grievances vii

THE NILE IYSURRECTION.


The force of Arabs mcnaciDg the British
garrisons ON the Nile has been easily routed.
General Stephenson, having received heavy
reinforcements, attacked the enemy and alter a
three hours fight captured their village and
entertainments and dispersed body OF ''ooo
natives and rihemen. The victory seems 10
have been complete and the Egyptian Govern
ment is relieved of immediate caIlses of anxiety
respecting the security OF the frontier. lhe
Arabs, while fighting stubborn'y, were no
match for the British regulars operating within
easy reaching distance OF their base oil supplies
Lord Salisbury's Government deserves credit
for acting promptly and decisively. frocras-
tiuatioa and irresolutiOn would have multiplied
the dangers OF the situation.
This hostile movement of the Arabs | llus-
trates however, the dependence OF Egypt
upon foreign support. Now that the khediveS
authority is no longer recognized in hhartOum
and there are no garrisOns on the river any
distance above Wady llalfa, the fanatcal pop
ulation is under no restraint and Is readily
drawn into campaigns OF rapine by predatory
chiefs and ambitious emirs. The natives
instead of ing overawed by the slaughter
of thousands at Abou Klea and Dulka regard
the fall of Khartoum and the retreat of Lord
Wolseey's army as victories for their race The
feeling of insurrectiOn among the tribes has
grown steadily more defiant and hostile camps
have been pitched within sight of the frontier
garrisons. If British regulars had not been
dispatched in strong numbers to relieve the
garrisons, the movement would have extended

Certainly the cowardly Egyptian soldiery
cannot be depended upon to defend the
frontier without British aid.
