The "o. Enters 81. Lonls.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-THE arrival in
this city of the first through Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy trains over the
Wabash tracks caused a renewal of hos
tilities between the Brotherhood and the
former company. The Brotherhood en-
gineers employed as hostlers refused to
house the 20" engines, and the Wabash
wipers refused to clean them, and as a
consequence they were switched on to a
side track where they now stand, o
cred with mud and grease. The non
Brotherhood engineers found difficulty
in securing board and lodging, as the
Brotherhood men declared they would
not eat or sleep in the same house with
them. The Wabash is bound by con-
tract to house the ''Qn engines and it is
feared that an order to the Wabash en-
ployes to fulfill the contract will be fol.
lowed by a strike.

A Successor to Postmaster Judd Likely to
Be Named this Week.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-It was said
on good authority that the president is
trying to decide whether Gen, Newberry
or Martin j. Russell shall succeed Post
master Judd, and that he expects to send
in the nomination during the week. 1t
10 denied that Postmaster General Dick
inson is %unfriendly to Newberry, while
Morrison. it is said, told the president
the Iroquois chief would be o good ap-
pointment, though he does not like New
berry personally. Mr.. Cleveland is un-
derstood to be more impressed with Rus
sci, but he has made SO little effort for
the place that some delfcacy has been
felt about urging it upon him. W. G.
Goudy's opposition to w. j. Onahan has
been a serious hindrance to the ex-city
collectors chances, but If the president
delays much longer Mr.. Onahan will have
a good show of getting the place. His
name has been under consideration dur
ing the last week. Nothing official can
be learned, but the unofficial talk is SO
definite that it really looks as though the
ak is going to descend on Mr.. Judd, and
his head be dropped into the basket.

Russell shall specify. The first result Of
the commissions decision relative to
the discovery of documents was Coun-
sellor Graham securing the power of ac-
cess to the bank-books of the National
league, involving the inspection of the
accounts, minutes, ETC., of both the Land
and National leagues. The question of
appointing q commission to take testi-
mony in America will be definitely raised
when the commission resumes its sit
tings. Probably Mr.. Graham's sug-
gestion that Mr.. Egan came to London
to testify, will be approved. Sir Charles
Russell stated that Mr.. Parnell deemed
Mr.. Egan's testimony Indispensable.
Upon the resumption of the sittings of
the commission both sides will apply to
the court to grant a certificate of immu-
nifty for Egan and other Irish-Americans
under ban, IN order that they may give
evidence here. Mr.. Parneii appeared
to be in excellent health.

that the eyes of his mother, sister, or
perchance, sweetheart, were upon him,
and in presenting this banner to the Old
Rcman guard the Democratic ladies of
Columbus had imbued the guard with
this grand incentive. In speaking of
the Democratic party, Judge Thurman
said that to the glorious Democratic
principles e%nunciated by Jefferson nearly
one hundred years ago, was due the
present glorious condition of America.
He said that the fact that the entire
world was assuming a government of
equal right and freedom to all mankind,
WAS because Democratic principles were
permeating all countries.

There is some excitement among the
members over the prospect of an ad-

sentiment is tending strongly toward an
adjournment, and the only thing that
can prevent MI. Oates getting control of
the caucus for his resolution is a feeling
that it would be an unheard of proceed
ing to take action in direct opposition to
the men who have been the recognized
leaders during the entire session, and as
such have been successful. If the mem
beers vote in caucus as they want to,
however, a resolution fixing a day of adj
