j LITTLE CHANGE.

Little Change Apparent in the Strike
h switchmen Make a Statement.
CHICAGO, March eI-Ihere was but
little change apparent in the @. strike to-
day beyond the arrival of a number Of
switchmen from the east to take the place
of the strikers. A gang Of twenty of these
new arrivals were put to work late today
in the yards at Western avenue. They
said they were from Reading, Pa. The
lumber district is in a bad condition and
as this is the busy season Of the year the
lumber men will lose a large amount Of
trade. No trouble has been experienced
from the strikers today. An evening pa
per says the probability of the brakemen
going out increases and though the com
pany, the strikers and the brakemen them
selves deny any knowledge ofsuch a move,
it is quite evident TO a close observer that
another strike is in the air and may MAJ
terialiZe at any moment.

The State National Bank Of Raleigh, N. c.,
Assigns.
BALTIMORE, March 27.-The failure of
the State National Bank of Raleigh, NC,
did not create surprise in bank circles in
this city as it was looked upon as weak
ten days ago. Samuel @. White, the
cashier. stopped at the National Union
Bank Of this city and asked for the dis
count of $4,000 of planters papers. IL
was not looked upon as safe and was re-
fused. The State National Bank of
Raleigh was started by a wealthy man
named WILLIAMS with a capital Of $780,,
900. Williams assigned shares to his
sons-in-law and they with him became
directors. After the death of Williams
his widow became president of the bank
and acted as such until two or three years
ago, when she retired and her son-in-
law, Cross, was elected president. The
circulation of the closed bank Is said to
have been $4,000, which is secured, but
the depositors are said to be out $4,000,

In speaking with an old army officer on
Che subject OF the frequent Indian out
breaks within the past few years, he adj
vanced a singular theory, which, to his
mind, at least, accounted satisfactorily
for much that has heretofore seemed in
applicable. Said my friend; .In old
times, when it was necessary to prove the
assent to a written contract Of persons
who could neither read nor write, this
was done by affixng their seals. When
the Indian makes q contract he does so by
word Of mouth, sealing the contract with
that solemnity which, 20 a redskin, mean
all things-he shakes hands upon il. This
is q custom with the Indian which Is re-
served exclusively 10 ratify his contract,
and never, as with us, in s~alutation.
'sWhen an occasion of Importance de-
mands that the chiefs shall come to Wash
ington, before starting they represent to
their tribes the business In hand, and state
that they viii go and see the Great Father,
with whom they will enter into treaty.
Arrived in Washington, an interpreter
presents their case to the president, who,
In good will to show that he is not above
giving a kind reception TO the humblest
man in the country, advances and proffers
his hand. The chiefs are delighted, and
return to their tribee, setting forth that
the Great Father has acceded to their
wishes, because, after hearing the case, he
shook hands with them. If, after the ex-
ecution Of a contract in the presence Of
witnesses subsequently sworn to and re-
corded, we should then break it SO that q
suit In court would be the only remedy to
the party injured thereby, the situation
would net be more serious here, while the
president shakes hands with an Indian
who afterward does not get or enjoy what
he understood would be given by that act
Of handshaking. All OF which goes TO
prove, in conclusion, that the president
should never shake hands with an In
dian. Washington Letter.

One obstacle that has stood In the way
Of planting that exotic, the telegraph pole,
IN Chinese soil has been the widespread
belief among the ~peasantry that the
strange whispering wires they support
when strung along near g~raveyards exert
a balefuI influence upon the long sleep Of
their reyered ancestors. AS nearly every
hilltop IN China Is crowned by the tombs
Of lamented forefathers, it has been very
difficult to select routes for telegraph
lines where the wires were not likely to

them. II Is noteworthy that the great

just why They Went ont.

CHICAGO, March 27.The Chicago, Bur
Iington & Quincy switchmen make the
following statement: Much as has been
said by the officials of the G. B. & @. com
pany about the switchmen quitting work
without giving.the company any notitica-
ton or presenting any grievance, the
reason the switchmen acted as they
did may be summed up as
follows: The general superintendent, Mr..
Besler, and Train Master Pope were both
aware that the switchmen were dissatis-
fed with the incompetent men that were
running the engines in the switch yards.
Hundreds of times men have had to
Jump to save their lives. Trains were
constantly run at the rate of forty miles
an hour right through the yards. The
present force of switch engineers do not
understand sven the most simple signals.
The switchmen told Mr.. Besler they
could not afford to risk their lives any
more than necessity required. His only
reply to all their complaints was, have
patience, gentlemen. The only thing
they asked for was competent men, but
they were given no assurance that the
matter would be remedied. 1t was a
matter of life or death with them and
they quit work individually without any
organized strike.

CHIoAGo, March 27.-The Burlington &
Quincy, after having announced an adj
vance in freight rates TO all points on its
