On the English Railroads Where a Strike
is In Progress.
GLASGOW, Jan. 12.-Another week of the
railroad strike has commenced with no
material change in the situation. During
the past few days there have been several
minor accidents, though they do not seem
due to the inexperience of the new hands.
The strikers make capital out of them. how
ever. The Caledonian railroad il now fully
manned. The centres Of dissatisfaction are
Edinburgh, Perth, Aberdeen, Sterling and
Dundee. At Motherwell, Hamilton and
Pomadie, where the men have been slowly
reinstated upon accepting the terms OF the
railroads. the strikers are giving the great
est trouble. At Motherwell few of the
new hands joined the strikers. The rail-
road officials intend to make temporary
reduction in the passenger service to enable
them to overtake their freight service. The
position OF the North British railroad is
still very bad and it seems more than prob
able that this road will lose considerable
portion of its traffic. and the Caledonian
road will be the gamer by it.

fcrred to the case of the japanese murderer
Jugiro, sentenced to death by electricity,
the appeal in whose case was denied by the
supreme court, and said the attorney for
the prisoner has applied for another writ of
habeas corpus to the same court and
claimed he could bring up an appeal on u
writ Of habeas corpus as often as he could
find new ground of application. His own
judgment as alawyer was that no further
legislation Oh the subject WAS necessary
but the judge before whom the last appli-
cation came up held that he was compelled
to grant the appeal to the supreme court
wherever the ground alleged was different
from that formerly presented. so the re-
suit was inevitable IL that decision il cor.
rect. that sentence of death would be ABB
solutely defeated by continued appeals to
the supreme court, which would last during
the prison cr's natural life and would be
only limited by the ingenuity of his lawyer.
The bill was referred to the judiciary com
mittee.

Proposition Relating 10 the Coinage Of
Silver Read.


A Proposition Relating ~ the Coinage Of
Silver Read.
WARRINGTON, Jan. 12.--During the debate
on the finance bill to-day, Mr.. Stewart cent
TO tho clerks desk to have printed propo-
sition respecting his free coinage amend
ments, which. he said, might be offered il
any one desired TO do 30. This proposition,
II adopted, would take the place Of his free
coinage amendment down to q certain
point. II is the same amendment in sub
stance. but has attached n proviso that sil
silver bullion not the product of mines,
mills or smeIters of the United States, and
all silver coin and bullion the product OF
other than United States mines, shall. in
the discretion of the secretary OF the treas
ury. he subject to mint charge, to be fired
from time to time by him, said
charge not to exceed the difference
between the market value of said silver
bullion in London at the time it il depos-
tied and the coinage value thereof. The
secretary may make such regulations as are
necesSary to determine whether such bull
lion Is the product of the United States.
This proposition will be held in reserve
until some agreement il reached respecting
it's final disposition. 1t was drawn, after
consultation among several senators, upon
the theory that it would receive the sup
port OF some republicans in the senate and
house who are favorably disposed toward
an effort to enlarge the use Of silver, but
fear disaster as the result Of unrestricted
coinage. Senator Stewart, however, is not
committed to it in any way, having simply
offered it in order to get it in print for bet
ter exam nation.

OUR NAVAL FORCE.
Where the yesseIs are Stationed MassiDg
on the Pacific.

Where the Vessels are Stationed -MAssing r
on the Pacific.
WAsBINGToN, Jan. 12.-'rhe dispatches
setting forth the strength Of the naval
forces on the Pacific station have served to
draw considerable attention to the condi-
ton Of the American squadron in those wa
ters. The Pacific station has within the
past few years furnished more real work
for the navy than all the other stations
combined, and this condition of affairs is
apt to continue for some time to come.
A vessel must always be kept at Samoa,
one must be at Honolulu most Of the time,
and two or three are needed for work on
the west coast OF Central and South Amer
lea. In addition to this there is need of
one or two vessels in the North Pacific and
BehrinR sea every summer. When ves-
sells were needed at Guatemala last
summer the Ranger had to be taken off the
valuable survey work her officers were ell
gagged in on the coast of Lower California
and the Thetis had to omit her annual
cruise ID Behring sea and the northern Pa
cinc. These vessels are not larger than Or
dlnary revenue cutters. but they we're the
only ones available. The Charleston is the
only modern vessel attached to the station.
for although the San Francisco is now
there. she is fitting out to go to the China
station as flagship.
Many naval officers believe that more new
ships should be sent out. There are at the
present time eight new ships in commission
on the North Atlantic station, in addition
to fey wooden vessels. The new ones ere
the !. Niadelphia, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta.
Yorktown, Petrol, Dolphin, and Vesrvius.
Three more will soon be ready-the Newark,
Concord, and Bennington.
1t il understood that the two sauadrons
now in the North Atlantic will be consoli-
dated IN the spring, and if these three
ships are added to the eight now in COM
mission, il will give the admiral Of the
North Atlantic eleven new vessels in addi-
tion to his old ones while the South At
iantic would have nothing but old vessels,
the Pacific but one new one. the Asiatic
station but one new one, and the European
station but one vessel, new or old-the Bal
timore.
An arrangement that has been suggested
contemplates sending the Newark, when in
commission. together G.lh either the hos
ton or Atlanta, and the Concord, when
town is suggested as a useful vessel to help
out the Baltimore in European waters. and
the Petfel could be sont to tho Asiatic
squadron, for which she was originally in
tended. This arrangement would still
leave goodly number of new vessels on the
Atlantic station, to be increased within the
next eighteen months by cruisers Nos. 8
and 10. The addition of the three vessels
suggested would greatly increase the eff
cheney of the force in the Pacific and would
make it possible to send efficient cruisers
on any mission they might be needed for in
that part of the world.
