The New York Cent? Strike.


NEW YORK, August l1.-At mid
night last night 1000 policemen were
stationed along the railroad tracks
from Spuyten Duyvil to Yonkers to
insure the free passage of trains and
look after things generally. A dis
patch from Dewitt says that the
Chicago limited was stopped in the
yards there yesterday afternoon and
the coupling pins taken out. Later
some militia arrived and took possess
sion of the yard. During the evening
the movement of a freight train by
the militia was resisted by strikers.
The small squad Of soldiers were so
closely pressed by the strikers that
they could not use their bayonets,
but the train finally moved.
A large number of Pinkerton men are
guarding property at Albany aud
more will be sent. There are
Pinkerton men also at Syracuse.
Three companies of militia are also
there, and it is expected that the
road will be opened at East Syracuse
very soon. The attempt was made to
drag some brakemen from the train
at Buffalo last night but it failed; no
arrests.

BarrIllos on the Ragged Edge.
CITY OF MEXICO, August II. There
have been definite rumors for the
past three days, regarding a revolu-
ton in the City of Guatemala. These
have been now crystalized. While
there has been no open revolt, Bar
rillos has discovered treachery in his
cabinet, and it is generally believed
here his government will soon fall
and that he will be forced to seek ref.
uge in the United States. Martinez
Sobral, secretary of foreign relations,
who was accused by Barrillos of being
a traitor, was taken out to be shot
but was saved by the timely
intervention of the Spanish minister
The greatest excitement was caused
by the discovery of the so-called
treachery of Sobral. While many
believe Sobral was innocent others
claim that he is guilty and deserves
to be shot

this the announcement was made
that all trains would be run today,
with the exception of all locals. The
management has arranged it so that
all trains, except express trains,
should stop at all way stations

to all stations north of Spuyten
Duyvil. Precisely at o'clock this
morning the third vice-president,
Webb, entered his office at the depot
and reporter Immediately stepped
forward and said: at Is reported Mr..
Webb that the firemen have joined
the strikers" "That is untrue" he
replied. The firemen have not struck
and all hands, so far, are running and
every one of them left fully armed.

Sitting Bulls Death.

The Indian tribes may utter loud To-
mentations and tear their long. stringy
hair. but few white men will lament the
death OF the Sioux chief. SITTING BULL
He was an arch agitstor. ceaseless con-
spirator. and according to some accounts
not Q very brave warrior. He 1T was who
planned the uprising of the Indians in the
campaign in which CUSTER lost his HE,
but 1t is said that he sneaked out OF tho
battle in most inglorlous way. he was
about TO sneak off the reservations Mon
day. when he was detected by the indian
police, and the fight ensued which ended
In bis death.
He was about forty-three years of age.
According TO some doubtful accounts no
was q half-breed. He was educated 70
moderate extent. and spoke English,
French, and several Indian languages. He
had two wives and eight or nine children.
He was not conspicuously great as war
rior. Hrs forte was as a crafty medicine
and magic-man. an Indian politician ana
stirrer-up of strife, and raider Of ranches.
When CusrKR was trapped and killed 1t LIZ
said that BULL was in his own tent near by
engaged in nominations. Other accounts,
however, declare that he was present and
gave to the General his death-wound. AT
any rate, he was always power OF evii
with his people, and was up to their stand
ard for cruelty and bloodthirstiness.
Now we may expect crisis IN Indian al
fairs. Blood has been spilled Upon
slight provocation more will flow, but
whatever ups and downs our people NAV
suffer for time the end will be just that
of every such contest; the Indians will be
taught bloody lesson and driven to beg
for terms; severe conditions will be i'm
posed upon them; more of their lands will
be alienated and they will become more
than ever dependent upon the bounty OF
the United States Government for food and
clothing. For the Indians the simple
choice is submission or determination.
Doubtless they are often treated badly, but
their bloody-mindedness furnishes the
whites with an excuse.
As long as SITTING BULLS live there Will
be Indian uprisings with the same results.
The Indian agitator, like the negro agita-
tor, is an enemy to his race.

Mr.. HxsRY @. Parsons, Of the Natural

Virginia. and who enjoys the intimate
friendship Of Mr.. BLAINE, has written alet-
ter to Congressman EVANS. of Chattanooga,
In which he opposes the force bill in rather
original terms and gives to the discussion
some aphorisms which are likely to be-
come famous. with the black men OF
the South to-day" the question, he says,
"is not 30 much Of politics as OF poultry"
He sees sufficient objection to the bill, in
the fact that il is impolitic and must be-
come imperative; that where it can be
snforced it is not needed and where it is
needed it cannot be enforced" THE

asserts his belief that for the republic 1t is
