She would not be uncivil to MT. Van Buskirk, but of course she could not encourage him; and holding her head at a much loftier an gle than usual, she marched on erect, and in silence.

 You may think it does not con corn me-" proceeded the young man, with the same imperturbable gravity, "but 1 am only in pursuit of information.

now on the grounds include the entire
Sixth regiment and four companies of the
Fifth, numbering in all about $50 men :.
The Rodman Rifles Go. A. is the
strongest company here, in point of num-
bers. 1t is no uncommon thing to hear
shooting going on all night. Last night
shots were exchanged several times, but
no one has been reported injured thus
far. The troops when off duty are
allowed to roam all over the city
unmolested, and the strikers treat
them all politely-talk to them
and act the same as if the soldiers were
ordinary civilians. Our quarters are neal
the railway depot. and today the Rod
man Rifles are on guard duty in these
same grounds
Captain Abel is officer of the day
Lieut. Channon is officer of the guard
The trouble seems to be now in the Cairo
Short Line yards, but in reality the dan
ger is nearly past. and all will be quiet az
long as troops remain here. But in con
versation with several men who are en-
ployed in the round houses, they say
they will quit as soon as the troops
leave, because the strikers threaten them
