PITTsBURG, March 3l.-The oil market

Of the morning.
After this a very bearish feeling set in

dispose of the oil at any price. Prices
dropped from one point TO another until
the market declined TO 53t, the lowest
point of the day.
For over an hour the prices remained
abOut stationary, and it seemed almost i'm
possible for the market to L, ether one

THE UNEXPECTED
THAT HAS HAPPENED In FRANCE,

PARIS, March 3l.-The Bourse opened
weak TO day, owing TO the overthrow OF the
Tirard Ministry.
The OppOrtunist journals say the defeat
Of the Ministry gives General BoulaDger
what he want, q coalition Of Irreconcila-
bles and Cearians having defeated the
Republican majority.
The Siect says: 1--WE are again without
a government, without a majority, and
without a compass. The dissolution of the
Chamber of Deputies is near"
The Journal des Debates says the real
victor in the struggle yesterday, which re-
suited in the defeat OF the Cabinet, was
General Boulanger. The crisis, it says,
will I've a formidable one, on account Of
the understanding between the Right and
the Extreme Lett. NJ. Floquet does not
desire the Premiership, and it is likely
that either NJ. Ribot or NJ. Deves will be
called upon to form a ministry.
The Radicals threaten to put General
Boulanger Us a candidate for the Presi.
jency against President Carnot if the
latter refuses TO accede 10 their pro
gramme.
President Caruot conferred with NJ. lie
Roger, the President of the Senate, 70. day.
The President will probably summon NJ.

What the Pennsylvania Company Onicials
Say of the Trouble.
PITTsBURG, March 3l.-The railroad
officials of the Pennsylvania Company have
been watching the Burlington very closely
for the past few days.
Their lines are not handling the Bur
lington freight, and every effort is being
made to keep the strike from spreading
among their employees, as it has been
rumored was contemplated.
An official who was seen this morning
said: The reports received from Chicago
this morning state that everything is
serene on the Fort Wayne road. We do
not know what to expect however.
None of the Burlington freight is
being handled by US. 1t would not
be policy to do so. While the strike
wa confined to the engineers and iremen
there was no fear of trouble, as they ore
composed ola class of men who are opposed
to anything i'll the nature OF riOtous dem
%onstrations. But when the switchmen
went out the strike assumed q more serious
phase. They are made up Of the ~Offscour-
ing Of Chicago, who don't care what they
do. 1t may he THAT there are a iew stray
Burlington cara on the 1T. Wayne between
PIttsbuTg and Chicago, but if there are
they are thu ones that we're taken when it
was supposed the strike was settled. With
the strike assuming a more serious phase
we will not receive any Burlington freight,
and, in fact l do not think any will be
offered to u.s."
The Panhandle Railroad officials had.
received no word this morning OF the
switchmen at the Chicago end of the line

evening. They informed him that the non.
union switchDEn on his road had been in
duced to join the switchmen's union or act
in harmony with the union men. They
(tke ~eng;neers) did not like tn involve
them in a strike, and therefore hoped it
would issue orders to agents not to handle
Burlington freight, as Tie switeaTaen were
determined TO strike il the company pei
sisted in handling z freight The COM
mittee would not state what the engineers
would do in case they were required 10
handle Q freight.
Superintendent Amsden informed the
committee that while il WAS his earnest
dssire to avoid trouble with the men of
the Lake Shore, he could not under the
Inter State law refuse to handle Q freight.
Besides the Lake Shore the managers
ofseyeral other roads were called upon by
the Chairman OF the grievance committees
OF engineers on their lines and requested
to refuse TO handle Q sreight to avoid
trouble with their switchmen. All these
committees pretended to be actuated by
sole desire to avert serious injury 10 the
business interests Of the country. and most
of them stated that they meant to obey
the law. They had made all reasonable
concessions, and if the business interests
Of the country were paralyzed by the m
lawful and unreasonable demands Of their
men, the people would know who was re-
sponsible for it and act accordingly.
A movement is on foot 10 bring about a
meeting of the General Managers and Gen.
eral Superintendent Of the various roads,
centering. in this city, to take concerted
action.
TACTICS OF THE BURLINGTON.
The management of the Burlington road
decided this morning to call upon the
various roads running east and west for as
sistance in raising the freight blockade in
its yards. Ia pursuance of this decision
trains are now being made up for the Fl.
Wayne, Lake Shore, Rock Island and Hi
nois Central, and will be offered at the
transfer points of those roads during the
day. The first train of twelve cars in
tended for the Ft. Wayne left the BurliDg-
ton freight depot shortly after II O'Clock.
Fifty city police rode in a box car behind
the engine, and a Pinkerton operator
stood on the roof of each Of the freight
cars.
AdVices by telephone from Thirty. sixth
street, in the town of Lake, where the
train will be switched on to the Fort
Wayne tracks, say that the local police
force is on hand with a company of men,
aud that fifty Pinkerton men have also ar
rived upon the scene. A great crowd Of the
rougher elements is gathering along the
tracks, and trouble is feared when the at
tempt is made to switch he train.
The Burlington has prepared legal pa
pers in blank to serve without delay upon
any road that may refuse to receive its
cars, in accordance with the provisions OF
the Interstate law. At the offices Of the
company it lis stated that assurances have
been received from the TT. Wayne, Lake
Shore and Alton roads that they will han
die all Q freight offered, regardless Of re-
suits. This indicates the roads are max
ing up their minds they must stand or fall
together.

In a recent conversation with a leading

ton bills which would tend TO decrease
this amount, included the River and Har-
Dor bill.
The gross amount provided for in the

as this is about equal to the Presidents
expectations, he is supposed to be entirely
