WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 26-The report
of Capt Kingman, in charge of the Missis-

that trouble was anticipated in the early part
Of the month with owners Of lands through
which the right of way for the levee passes.
Trouble was expected particularly in pass
ing through the land of Jefferson Davis
Lawsuits and armed resistance were threat
ened, but when it became evident to the
property owners that the United States
would not enter the grounds without permits
sion, but would leave holes in the levees at
their property, they gladly consented to let
the work go on.

Situation at the indianapolis
Railway Yards.
OFFICIALS ARE VERY sANGUINE

And Declare the Strike as Good as Dead
While the Men Expect the Engineers and
Firemen to Join In the Fight-Trouble
Brewing on the Vanderbilt Lines-The
knights of Labor Pushing Their Work.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 26.-RaiIroad officials
claimed yesterday that the backbone of the
strike YVES broken, and that to-day they
would be moving their trains with considera-
bic promptness. Most of the day platform
MN were at work, and some switching was
done in the yards yesterday without the men
being molested. Last night the officials
thought it would be unwise to keep their
switching crews 10 service except those
needed to do the switching of passenger
trains, but the understanding with the rail
road officials generally was that business will
be resumed as usual to-day.
This is the official side of the story, but at
the meetings of the switchmen they seemed
to have obtained assurances from the en-
gineers and firemen that made them more
determined. The matter was thoroughly
discussed, leading to a general expression
that if there was no change to-day on the part
of the railway officials there must be stop
ments. This is made important by the fact,
as it is given out, that the general officers Of
the engineers and firemen's bro,herhoods
will be here to-day.
One of the strikers, W. A Conklin, has
beeu arrested under state law covering any
interference With railway business, and war
rants are out for the apprehension of others.
This action has incensed the switchmen and
Increased the sympathy of the other EN-.
ployes for them. The wholesale discharge
of the strikers also threatens TO make the
trouble general.
Lateral a secret meeting last night of
the Engineers, Brakemen's Firemen's, and
| Conductors unions it was res olved to stand
BY the switchmen in their present strike.
| Advices from Chicago contained assurances
OF moral support from 900 switchmen.

BUFFALo,N. Y, Nov. 26-Saturdsy after
noon orders were received from New York
from a representative of the switchmen en-
ployed on the Vanderbilt roads in this city
to proceed TO New York without delay, to
take part in conference with officials Of
those lines relative to the demand for an in
crease of wages and shorter hours. Pend
ing the result of this conference, matters
here remain in statu quo. Switchmen here
say the movement extends from New York
to Chicago, and if they are forced out at
any point general strike will result.

it is dirty shirt. A mans politics are

PANAMA CANAL.

The Progress of Oonstruotion-fhe Ap-
proach of Completion.
CHICAGO, ILL May 25.-Sig. G. o.
Barrio, 8 Panams merchant, was at the
Palmer house yesterday. He is on his
way to Europe. 81 am not shareholder
or contractor" said he, Sin the Panama
Canal Company, but 1 am able to say
that its success is assured since the last
concession by the French OF SI20, 900, 900
OF lottery bonds. On the Atlantic side
fifteen miles of canal is docked. Digging
and trenching are being rapidly advanced
from the Pscifi; side. Nine locks
C ossing the mountains are being con-
structed. The first vessel will be sent
through before the end of 1891. Fifteen
thousand laborers, natives and jamaican
negroes chiefly, are at work. The stories
OF mortality among them are for the most
part sheer and unmitigated falsehoods.
The canal company" he said "pays out
81 ,000,e 600 month in wages. A consid-
cradle portion Of 1t is diverted int the
pockets of the owners of the public gam
ing houses in Panams, which pay the gov
eminent $500, 900 month for the priv
ilege."

REVIEW OF TRADE.

copied rs the Cause.
The Tendency OF Prices Is Downward.
| Both for Securities and Products.
Gold Going Abroad.

NEW YORK, May Pr. G. Dun & Co.,
in their, Weekly Review of Trade, say :
Gold has begun to go abroad In large
amounts, S5,S5o,O00 having been shipped
since May 8. In the present state of for
eign trade the suspension of foreign in
vestment in this country involves exports
Of gold to meet the current balances
whether any part Of the foreign
capital previously invested here
is called back or not, but there
are indications Of foreign realizing In
some securities. The outgo Of gold in
view OF the large accumulation OF idle
money causes no apprehension. At inte-
r1or points money is scarcely anywhere
close, and at nearly all points easier, but
the complaints Of slow collections do not
diminish. The volume OF trade is almost
universally unsatisfactory, but unfavora-
BILE weather is In most cases accepted as
the chief cause, and some Improvement
is reported at Cleveland and
Memphis. The tendency Of prices
has been downward both for securities
snd for products. The average for pro-
ducts was temporarily lifted by speculs-
ton in grain, but has fallen again to a
point 5 per cent. below the highest point
for the year. Wheat has declined 2ic for
the week and oats lc. Hogs and lard have
advances 15c perIl00 pounds, and coffee tc,
but cotton and sugar do not gain, and oil
Is 34c lower than week ago. The decline
in wool since Msy l has averaged
SOC per 100 pounds. Hides continue
very dull, end leather generally
favors buyers. No special activity is
seen in the boot and shoe trace orders
falling below expectations. Iron is very
irregular. Definite though not great i'm
provement appears in the dry goods and
grocery trades. The stock market has
been depressed about 81 per share by gold
exports and by liquidstions in some prom |
pent stocks, but vigorous rally began !

M E. CONFERENCE.
Action Taken In Regard to the Liquor
Traffie-''Voluntary Total LbssI-
neuca from All Intoxicsnts."
DR.. j. N. Thaburn Elected Missionary
Bishop-The Color Line Declared to
Be No Bar to Holding Office.

New YORK, May 25.-Bishop Andrews
presided over to-day's session OF the gen.
ersl Methodist Episcopal conference. The
frs! business that came up was the con-
tinuation Of the discussion of the tenn
perance question. The inevitable wran-
gle was precipitated by the question OF
placing the church on record as opposed
to laws licensing liquor traffic and in
favor Of complete prohibit n.
The election OF the general conference
officers was then taken up. The election
Of j. M Phillips and Sanford B. Hunt as
book agents for New York was then an
nounced. Earl Cranston of Colorado and
W. P. Stowe Of Winconsin were elected
western agents.
AS result of the protracted discussion
OF the liquor traffic question the folio wing
resolution wss adopted by the conference
and was ordered placed in the discipline
of 1888: We are unalte-ebly opposed to
the enactment Of laws that propose by
license, tax ng or otherwise to regulate
the drink traffic, because they provide for
its continuance and afford no protection
sgainst its rsvages. We hold that the
proper attitude OF Christians towards
the traffic is one of uncompromising 3D.
position, and while we do not presume to
dictate to our people as to their political
aftiliation, we do express the opinion that
they should not permit themselves to be
controlled by party organizations that
trj managed in the interests Ct
the liquor traffic. We advise
the members of the church
that aid in the enforcement of such laws
as do not legalize or endorse the manu-
facture and sale Of intoxicants to be used
es beverages, and to this end we favor the
organization of law and order Leagues
wherever practicable. We proclaim as
our motto "voluntary total abstinence
from all intoXicsnts" is the true ground
of personal temperance and Complete
legal prohibition of the traffic in intcxi-
eating drinks as duty Of civil govern
ments-
The question as to missionary bishop
for India was discussed. STA Sex Dung,
delegate from the Foo Chow conference,
made brief speech In his native tongue
In opposition to the appointment Of
missionary bishop. STA Sex Oung's re-
marks were put into English by Rev. DR..
Siles. Several others spoke against the
report. In spite Of the opposition the re-
port was adopted.
DR.. Wheeler then moved that the con-
ference proceed to ballot for the election
OF missionary bishop, which was car
ried. In half an hour the tellers returned
and announced that Rev. DR.. J. M. Tho
burn had been elected.
The election Of missionary secretaries
to succeed DR.. j: M. Reed and Chaplain,
vas then proceeded with.
Bishop Warren announced that the con-
secration OF the bishops-elect would oc-
cur on Tuesday next at noon.
Rev j. o. Shumpert, colored, delegate
from Columbus, Miss, offered q resolu-
lion asking the conference to resffi I'm its
decision ruling that in the Methodist
church the color line WAS no bar to held
ng office. 1t WAS unanimously adopted.
