Status of the Strike.

NEW YORK, August 13.-The strike
today remains practically unchanged
though the officials claim it is i'm
proved. They say that trains are
coming and going on time; also that
the running of passenger trains has
resumed its normal condition. Mr..
Webb says he has received applica-
tions from old hands, but will not re-
instate them. He also says
that he has received applica-
tions from men on other roads,
sufficient in number to man the sys-
tenn. These men are already en-
ployed but they would consider a
change to the Central an improve
ment. Police are still on guard at
the Grand Central depot, but to the
ordinary observer there is nothing to
indicate that there has been a strike.

st. Louis Republic, of disagreement
and threat of open rupture between
Blaine and Harrison, and an irrecon D..
citable split between the secretary
of state and the tariff leaders in Con-
gress, is utterly senseless and with
out foundation in fact. The thing
that is is not that which is wired,
but the thing that the democrats
would like to be. , The republican
situation is satisfactory. There is:no

Manchester Report.

MANCHESTER, August 13.-The
Guardian, in its commercial article
says: "Coston is hardening and the
market is generally strong, though a
slow demand limits practicable bust
ness. Yarns are firmer than cloth,
owing to strong cotton reports and
numerous orders. There will be a
cessation of production in the Old
ham district for eight or nine days
during the next three weeks. There
is little inquiry for cloth, while best
shirtings from medium grades are
neglected.
