THE PACKERS, STRIKE.

Mr. Barry Will Remain at Chicago and Try
to Effect a Settlements.
CHICAGO, Oct. 17-One hundred additional
Pinkerton men arrived at the improvised bar
racks in the stcckyards this evening. The force
now numbers 450 men.
The strike came before the Trades Assembly
to-day, and raised quite a commoton. T. j.
Lyons introduced a resolution holding p. d.
Armour responsible for the strike, and at the bot
tom of the trouble. The resolution also called
on the Assembly to use its influence to induce
all persons not 30 trade at shops where Armours
meats are sold. The introduction of the reso-
luton brought a number of delegates to
their feet instanter A c. Cameron vehemently
asserted there was not q scintilla of proof to

than the other packers and he was opposed to
singing out one man and destroying his busi-
ness when others were deep in the mud as he
in the mire. Another delegate said the stock
yards employees had neither asked nor taken
such action yet, and when they did it would be
time enough for the assembly to act At this
point Chairman Crawford ruled that as the reso-
luton virtually contemplated boycott the as

Mr.. Barry said he hoped for speedy adjust

in the committee, and pledged itself to obey all
orders which might be issued. The present
status of the strike is given by Mr.. Barry as
follows
II have explained to the packers, especially
Mr.. Kent, that mere technicaiity is all that
prevents settlement. The men want simply q
formal recognition of the eight-hour day, and
do not object to working overtime on that basis
They only ask that all hours over eight shall bo
known as overtime wages for which shall be at
the same rate as the regular time. The packers
refuse to cCncede this one point. AS Mr. Armour
says, they have counted the cost. and the she'd
ding of little blood will not stop or influence
them in the least. I have confidence in the
strikers. If they remain quiet and peaceable,
and stick together, victory is sure and speedy"

A FIGHT TO A FINISH.
Bloody and Stubborn Encounter Between Pu-
giliStS Charles Reed and John Brindy.

CHICAGO, Oct. ia desperate glove en-
counter took place last evening in room not
far from the Board of Trade, and was witnessed
only by a select party of Board of Trade men
and delegation of Archer-avenue saloon
keepeTs sehe principals were Charles Reed, Of
Buffalo, l65 pound pugilist, and John Brindy,
of Omaha, who weighed ITO pounds Reed was
backed by well-known Board of Trade man,
while stockyards men were behind Brindy. The
stakes were $3.50 a side, and the battle, which
lasted through thirty-three rounds and two
hours and ten minutes, is said to have been one
of the nest desperate that has. ever taken place
in this vicinity, the gloves used being of
the skin variety. The first. ten or
twelve rounds were rather tame, the
men being wary and feeling each other, but
after that they went at it hammer and tongs.
Reed was nearly knocked out twice during the
twenty,frst and twenty fifth rounds, bnt came
to both times in nine seconds. and, though
groggy, gamely continued the battle In the
thirty third round both men came up very weak,
Reed being a trfe the stronger of the two. But
little damage was done in the early part of the
round, but finally Reed, feinting with his right,
caught Brndy with a terrific lefthanded upper
cut on the chin, knocking him onto the ropes,
against which he leaned for moment and then
fell heavily in the middle of the ring Both
were badly punished, and had to be taken away
from the scene of action in carriages, while the
sides and ceiling Of the room in which the fight
occurred were spattered with blood.

Upon Their Sword Hits.
New YORK Oct 1.-THE Herala's cable spe-
cial says: Peace or warl All depends upon how
Russia gets out of her Bulgarian entanglements.
The Gar is by nature obdurate, impetuons.
overbearing, He cannot allow the idea to gain
ground that he is deviating from the traditional
Muscovite foreign policy. He has the moral sup
port of Germany to re-establish Russianized
Bulgaria so long as he confines himself to pacific
means, but that is the end of the tether that
binds him to the triple alliance The military
occupation of Bulgaria-a move for which four
infantry divisions in South Russia have been
designated and fully prepared since the end Of
August-would be leap in the dark that the
Car, with all mis- rashness, does not dare yet to
make. The presence of Russian troops in Bulga-
ria would so arouse Hungarian public opinion,
fan into flame the latent Austrian hatred of
Russia, and force the hand of Franz Joseph that
war would be the inevitable result Those who
know her statesmen best feel that Russia would
neither abandon Bulgaria nor occupy it. but,
with tough perseverance and ceaseless pertnaci-
ty would threaten, promise, tease, cajole, bully
and worry the Bulgarian regency and the Bul
garian people until they had been worked up
into state of acute fever and had become, from
sheer fatigue humble pawns of the Gar. Mean
while Russia keeps up a desperate Irritation
with France, based upon propositions already
submitted to the Sultan by the Russian embas
sador, by which France would regain her
prestige in the Levant and in Egypt
but Irritation is not marriage and no
Franco Russian alliance yet exists. Thus
Russia, Austria. Germany, France and Turkey
all stand with hands upon their sword hilts, and
there is no telling at what moment the blades
may leap from their scabbards, for even winter
snow and choked mountain passes did not last
year prevent the Bulgarans and the Seryians
from fighting each other until far into December.
Russia, in fact is inpregnable from attack in
winter, but winter will not prevent Russian
troops from occupying Bulgaria. One thing is
certain 1t is clear to the most inattentive tour
ist that, whether Boulanger be- an Alcibades or
not, French officers and soldiers have never be-
fore been so neat and clean or in such first-rate
fighting trim as to-day. No doubt Boulanger is
a splendid war minister. He is daily becoming
more popular and still keeps on introducing new
army reforms the latest of which allows soldiers
to rest Sundays instead of putting on fine
uniforms and parading about to please holiday
makers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE feeling of good
will existing between Russia aud the United
States is we'll exemplifed by the treatment re-
Gently accorded an American in that country,
and the leniency shown by the Russian aushori-
ties in this instance. in view of the European
difficulties of the present time, lends increased
significance to this episode. The story told by
prominent Washingtonian, who arrived home
during the week from an extended tour through
the Cars dominions. is briefly this: An Amer
lean citizen named Conradi, Baptist minister,
arrived in Russia in July, on visit to frien Is in
the province Of Taurida. The Russian
laws prohibit ministers of any de-
nomination from visiting that country
without special passport and under no circum-
stances are they permitted to either preach or
attempt to make converts. Siberia is the pen
atty. The evangelist in question had no permit
TO enter the country, but he entered it boldly,
and forthwith began preaching and baptizing.
He was arrested instanter, and the horrors of
Siberia were imminent He was allowed to
send letter to the nearest American consul,
who interceded, and in few days the reverend
gentleman, who had been guilty of serious Of
fense against Russian law, was released. The
achievement OF the consul was widely comment.

Postage Stamps.

Few people, perhaps, realize of how recent origin IS the postage stamp. It was first issued by Great Britain in 1S40. Brazil was the first nation to follow the exam pie, which they did in 1S43, and in 1S47 the United States began the use of postage stamps. There are now 211 stamp issuing countries. It is estimated now that every year some 5O,0O0,OGG,000 letters are posted in the world America leads with about 2,500,O00,OO0, and England follows with 700,000,000. Japan now malls annually 95,000- 900 letters, and the cancelled stamps on these letters are worth an average of one cent each. Last year there were 26,0O0 letters post ed in England without any address on them. In 1,6O0 of these gold coin and money were inclosed. The cancelled postage stamps of
 many countries are worth quite as much as unused specimens, and many are issued solely for collec- tons, the revenue being an i'm portant item Menace is the latest to fssie stamps: but Steffaland.

Joe Towards Unpleasant ExperI ence in the New York Draft
 Riots of 1863.

Howard Tn Boston Globe: Du- ring the riots in 1864 I was stand ing, then city editor of the New York Times, on the corner of Eff ty-third street and Third avenue, watching the flames lick story af ter story of the offices and hotse occupied by Provost Marshal Capt, Jenkins.
 1 5tood across the street with a few men, while below me on the other side of the block were thous- ands and thousands of, as Bishop Hughes said, linen whom some called rioters" While standing there little old man came down Third avenue followed by Q half a dozen young fellows. They taunt- ed and pushed him. With the natural impulse ofyonth I stepped between them, and, giving the old mar the protection of my barrier, said, half in earnest and half play fully, Come, boys, let the old man alone"
 They did. They let the old man alone and turned upon me.
 In twinkling my face was cut open, my watch and chain, my weeks salary, and my pockstbook were gone, and I was flung help less and bleeding on the pavement. The entire mass beyond, thous- ands, rushed over seeing man down, to trampIe on him.
 They siezed me by my long, black hair and yanked me up and down. They kicked and pounded me. Blood spUrted from my face, cov- ering my clothing i was in a minute mass of mud and blood. Toying with me as an enraged tiger would a frightened fawn, they tossed me here and kicked me there, until a fire company caught me quickly in their arms and rush ed me around the corner to the engine house on Lexington ave- nue. Before the door was shut and bolted every window in the engine house was smashed by pay ing stones. Death stared US in the face. Helpless we waited its con- ing.
 Just then some one set fire to brown-stone house on Lexington avenue. The switch was turned and with the same dash and nerve and impetuosity the thoughtless, reckless, damaging crowd left their victim for another. They gutted the house, they trampled on the people, they hanged the negro servant to a lamp post, and yelled and screamed in frantic fury until some other house was fired, to which, with eager fecklessress; they ran.

The American Type.
1T.

The early settlers along the At lantic strip of America were al most purely British, and this in large part English The Scotch element in Georgia, and Tn scatter ed sections elsewhere, formed a considerable portion, and the Welsh in New England were fair ly represented. Ata later day quite an immigration of Scotch Irish poured into the Carolinas and Pennsylvania. All these speedily became merged in the English Colonial people, (of which they, at most, were but well-defined va rieties, diverging slightly from the standard English type,) and to- gether formed a vigorous branch on the west side of the Atlantic of the Anglo-Saxon race. The more purely Celtic Welsh, and the Irish Presbyterians and Scotch with thier one-third mixture of Celtic blood, to the new nation then springing up formed an addition, which varied the American Saxon type to a degree about equal to that which the ancient Britons modified the English Saxons.
 The Dutch element of New Meth erlands, g kindred branch, the Tristan, to the Angles and the Jutes, formed a considerable addi- tion to the population, but under the long rule of the English gov ernors, and the vast influx of New England immigration which made a Newer England of New York, became thoroughly Anglicized.
 Two other elements entered in to the composition of the Colonial Americans. The Huguenot and the German, the former though small n number, but representing the best element in France were not without an influence in modi- flying the type and might be well termed the Normans of America, save that their influence was mark ed by an industrial and net war like force. The Germans fro -l the great homeland of the Teutonlc race, of a different branch from the Saxons, resisted the Angliciz- ing tendency more strongly, and even to this date there exists among the inhabitants of Pennsyl- vania an element coming down from colonial days which is not yet Americanized, and was in Revolutionary times looked upon as foreign. At the breaking out of the war of independence, the then colonial subjects of King George were as English or rather British as the inhabitants of Great Britain themselves, and in blood as nearly Saxon, with a foreign element among themselves, though strong, yet not in greater propor- tion than in England where at the time continental Europe was pour ing steady stream of emigrants, more especially from France and Teutonic Europe; upon the shores of tic tight little island.
