 Pasha's Last Trip to ATrIca.
 LONDON, July 11.-A strike all along the line has been ordered at the Gen eral Postofice in St. Martins le Grand, growing out of the refusal of the au- thorities to discharge the extra help engaged in anticipation of the strike of the regular force.
 Several thousand men are employ in the two great buildings, and they, with an immense mob filling the squares in sympathy with them, are anxiously awaiting the issue, which they are prepared to acoept.
 Should the strike begin in earnest the new hands may be roughly treated. Re- enforcements of troops have been or dered to the postofice and special guards assigned the banks.
 At the Cabinet council the feeling was very generally admitted to be thG9 politics had to 8 large extent something to do with the strike; that the Liberals were anxious to force the Government to appear in light hostile to organ ized labor. The Liberals contend that this is cheap way of begging sym pathy and make no hesitappy in de- claring that both Chief of Police Brad ford and Postmaster General RaikeS have sadly blundered.

RUSSIAN CENSORSHIP.

Thought Can Not Be Killed, Buried or An-
 initiated.
 What does the Russian Government nope or expect to accomplish by 'black. ing out" articles that aim simply to tell the truth with regard to Russian affairs and by throwing into prison eveEy man in whose possession such articles may be found?
 The Russian author Prugavin, in a book that was inadvertently sanctioned by the press censor, but that was after wards seized and burned, asks this same question, and says: Gan an idea be choked to death? Can thought be killed, buried or annihilated? Are not truth and love and justice and freedom immortal? It is the most terrible of mistakes to suppose that ideas can ever be crushed. People have perished-men have died in chains and casemates, their bodies have decayed, their graves have been lost, and their very names have been forgotten; but their ideas and aspirations live on. Washed in the blood of suffering, such ideas and aspir- ations have become the dream of every man in whose brain a thought stirs and in whose breast heart beats."
 The press censor, when he burned Prugavin's book, thought that he had destroyed for ever it's ''pernicious" in- fluence; but the ideas and aspirations" of the gifted author Hive on;' and his words, although burned by order of the Government in Russia, will appeal to hundreds of thousands of sympathetic hearts in England and the United States
 Some time in the far-distant future the free Russian patriot, DO longer blinded by the censorship ot the press, will look over the pages of his national history that record these attempts to gag public opinion and strangle human thought, and will wish from the bottom of his heart that so humiliating. and shameful record might be 'sblacked out."-George Kennan, in Century.

 Pursued by Hundreds of Citizrma-
 DANBuRY, Conn, July 11.-Shortay after midnight two officers sighted two men on the road near Brewsters, whom they suspected of having robbed Lewis' jewelry store. They ordered the men to halt, but the men shot at the officers and fed.
 The officers pursued the men for some distance but they escaped in the dark ness. About twenty shots were ex- changed. In their flight they dropped a package containing about g, 900 worth of jewelry.
 The men are in the mountains and hundreds of citizens have joined the police in the search for the robbers, and it is thought to be only a question of time when they will be surrounded and captured.
 A later dispatch says the two bur glars were captured and lodged in jail. They gave their names as G. w. Wallis, of Albany, N, Y, and A. w. Spalding, of Bridgeport, Conn. All the jewelry was recovered.
