THE STRIKE SPREADING.

Tho Delaware and Hudson Tied Up
Brought On by had Faith.
ALBANY, Aug. 13.-The Delaware and Hud-
son switchmen and brakemen have gone
out and the road is tied up. One hundred
and fifty Michigan Central men were sent
to West Albany at IL o'clock to move
freight for the New York Central. The
switchmen and laborers on the upper
Delaware and Hudson roads quit this af-
ternoon. The railroad men say they do
not know the cause. The report that the
brakemen had also gone out is pr onounced
untrue. One Of the company's officers says &
the number Of strikers will not exceed 26O.
The men claim that they detected the Della
ware and Hudson officials endeavorinR to
move New York Central freight in violation
of promise made to the district assembly.
They say the strike will extend the whole
length Of the road. The passenger ira ins
are all running and the strikers say they
claim that the action of the Central people
in bringing on large number of SWITCH
men from the Michigan Central yards, Chi
caQo, will at once extend the strike to the
western lines of the Vanderbilt system.
At noon the Delaware and Hudson Canal
company freight and yard men, except the
engineers and fremen, quit work, although
no signal was given on that road. It is said
the Boston & Albany and Fitchburg depart
ments will strike. Trouble is feared here
now. 1zz7.z

London swarminx with Americans Anx-

LONDON, Aug. 13-Americans bent on
''sellinR out to English syndicates" swarm
in the financial center Of London. am
constantly meeting co-patriots who are try
ing to ''put through big deals" to describe
tho game in their own comprehensive
phrase. There are few places of resort in
the metropolis where one does not encoun-
ter the man with the "big deal" English
capitalists have the reputation Of being
slow to move; but, for all their show Of de-
liberation, they are not always cautious.
Numbers of them have been bitten during
the past year by ravening agents from over
the sea, who roam London seeking whom
they may devour. London appears to be
every mans market. American speoulators
certainly think it possible to saddle Lom-
bard street and its vicinity with
any ''interest" they may choose to
exploit. At the present time there
are 80 many Americans here with schemes
that it is hardly possible for any man with
money to avoid them. They contrive. to get

British pockets by the art of filling British
stomachs. 1t must be confessed that the
British investor is ready to listen to the lays
of the charmer. The financial crisis in
South America teaches few men wisdom.
There is passion now for buying any pre-
| entable property in the United States that
may be offered. The success of certain
''big deals,' now famous, has started

promoters" representing every. city in
the American Union. Every incoming
steamer brings new contsugent. The
zeal efs these gentlemen is 10 great that
they sometimes negotiate for the disposal
OF property without the knowledge or con-
sent of the owners; and then. having work
ed their English acquaintances to the
necessary point of enthusiasm. they flourish
handsome offers before the rightful proprie-
tors, having in the meantime incurred nc
risk on their own part beyond their personal
expenses in the negotiations. If the bar
gain ia carried through they net large profits
If it fails they turn to other schemes which
they have been manipulating during the
interim. American railways. steamboat
lines. breweries, manufactures, mining
lands, forest lands, building sites, gas
works, street car lines, express routes, pat
ents and concessions are offered in London
every day. Englishmen appear to think
that the Americans are selling out bag and
baggage. Meanwhile London is practically
without telephones, electric lights. electric
railways and messenger service. The ven
lures she hath are squandered abroad.
