I.Iable to E1tend,to Now York

New YORK, August 15.-The strike
Of the switchmeu and train hands on the
Lehigh Valley aud Erie railroads at
Buffalo may extend to the yards Of the
various railroads in Jersey City. The
men in those yards receive the same pay
and are worked just as many hours as
the switchmen in Buffalo. A switchmen
I'm the Lehigh Valley yards said to-day
that there would be a meeting held
some day this week Of the members Of
the Switchmen's Mutual Aid AssOcia-
ton OF North America in Jersey City
20 consider the question of ordering d
general strike iu all the railroad yards
i'm the vicinity Of Jersey City. This or
Eanization is made up freight cOnduc-
tors, switChmen, night helpers and day
helpers.
The strike OF the railroad switchmen
in Buffalo is now beginning TO make
itself felt at the ends OF the roads in
Jersey City. Freight traffic all over
the roads which come into Jersey City
from the west is partially suspended.
The number Of freight trains which ar
rived daily from the west over the Le-
high, the Erie and the Pennsylvania
railroads is now constantly diminishing.
MANY trains are stalled at and near
Buffalo, and may remain there for sew
eral days. Those which reach Jersey
City are i'm the majority Of cases sew
eral hours late. Some Of the trains
arrive with only two-tairdS Of
the usual number OF cars. The
effect Of the strike is the worst on the
Lehlgh Valley railroad, since the large
stock yards on the railroad are situated
I'm Buffalo. Nearly all the freightS are
shipped 20 New York and other Eastern
points from the West pass through
those yards. The car Of freight which
REQUIRES Quick transportation, the delay
I'm traffic is especially harmful. The
effect OF the strike on this end OF the
road has not become very serious as
vet. bur should the strike last for any
length Of time 10 would be almost i'm
uossible To forward trains. The
officers of the company are max
ing arrangements, however TO
combat the difficulty IS we'll as
possible. One thing that will greatly
help them is that it is unlikely that
strike will occur at this end of the route.
Central Office detectives are to-day
watching the executive officers OF the
Erie railroad at the Coal and Iron EX-
change. which, while precautionary,
seems TO indicate that the officers Of that
corporation fear violence. Regarding
the strike at Buffalo, Second Vice Pres
ident Vallean said that he did not think
that the trouble would extend TO the
Jersey City yards, aud it was his opin-
ion that the strike would be Of short
duration.

tions are higher; everything is on higher
scale, and the cost of living TO the railway
employees, hence they are paid higher
wages than are paid in the East. Some
time ago the labor organizations in Chicago
inaugurated movement for higher wages
along the western lines, moving eastward
in the work of agitation. One by one they
took in the various railroad yards until
Buffalo was finally reached. Here the
two systems meet. and here as at Chicago,
the employees OF the western roads meet
higher wages because the western ROADS
receiving better rates can afford to pay the
rate. The walking delegate jumped at
the opportunity and urged equalization OF
wages, Notwithstanding the widely differ
ing conditions. When the demand Tor an
advance was made TO the eastern roads, at
Buffalo, all declined to accede, except the
Delaware, Lackawana and Western, which
granted the advance, although in so dong
itexercised manifest discrimination against
its other employees In the east.
1T is significant TO note" added Mr.
Mcleod, that the threats of July were
carried out yesterday. Our cars were
wrecked and burned, and the worst kind
of lawlessness prevailed. need only
add, " continued President Mcleod, THAT
there are thousands of competent men
ready to go TO work for us in Buffalo, who
are deferred only by threats Of violence;
All we ask is the protection Of the local
authorities md this am sure will be fur
nished. In fact am just informed that
the Sheriff of Bradford county, Pa, with
fifty men is now in charge Of our yard at
Sayre, Pa. [ have no doubt Of the out
come. We are certain to win"
When asked whether he would make
any concessions TO the demands of the
strikers President Mcleod answered
nonchanantly, No, sir"

LONDON, August 15.-At Bromby
Police Court to-day Leonard Manktlow
was arraigned on the charge Of attempt
ing to murder Miss Hlda Wood, l6
years OF age, and Miss Edith Philbrlck,

most indignation and large crowd was
present both inside aud outside the
court room when the prisoner was
brought in. Many hostile expressions
were heard aud Manktlow was In an
agony OF fear lest the crowd make a
personal attack upon him. He was
closely guarded by constables. When
he was placed in the dock he covered
his face with his handkerchief
and sobbed bitterly. II was an
nounced that the treasury would

PAID IN GOLD.
The Treasury Department Exchanges
SI,OOO,OOO in Gold for Treasury Notes
Given for Silver Purchases.

The Treasury Department Exchanges
100000 in Gold for Treasury Notes
Given for silver Purchases.
New YORK. August IA crucial test
of the policy of the Government was made
today when Heidelbach, lc6elheimer x
Company rendered 100000 IN treasury
notes. which we're issued on account OF
silver purchases. and demanded for them
one million gold for shipment TO Germany
by to-morrow's steamer.
The Treasury officials made no demur-
rer. but paid out the million gold in ex-
change for the Treasury notes and the gold
was carted away and put on the steamer.
The transaction excited some comment as
no home institution or home banking firm
has ever in the history of the Government
made Il like demand on the Treasury, and
In some quarters an expression prevailed
that the exporting firm took this step, not
so much to take the profit on the shipment
which in itself is too Insignificant for
banking firm TO consider but really for the
purpose of forcing crisis.
Assistant Treasurer Roberts was at the
sub-treasury while the gold for Germany
was being carted away. He admitted that
il was the first time such a demand was
made, although gold has heretofore been
given partly for old and partly Tor new
treasury notes. He said in reply TO ques-
tons. mo steps have been taken by the
administration TO prevent or obstruct the
export Of gold. The government stands
ready 10 meet all its obligations in gold,
and will pay them all in gold. Its free
gold balance now amounts to $ll2, 100000
BY this statement OF Treasurer Roberts
IL is clear that the government has already
decided on a plan TO pay all the silver
treasury notes n gold if it is demanded.

Three thousand mobiles with cleaning
lances and brilliant apparel on foot, IN

WASHINGTON, August 15.-The third par
ty people here are doing some ingenious
figuring to prove 10 themselves that they
are going to get great deal out OF the com
ing election. They concede they Will not
be able to elect their presidential candidate:
but they talk with ELUSIVE confidence oi
getting their vice presidential candidate In
How this is TO be done is explained by Edl-
tor McCune of the Farmers Alliance organ
he,e.
i feel" said Mr.. McCune to-day, "that
Fields election is practically assured. he
is bound to be elected If the election OF the
President is thrown into the House, which
is very likely to happen. The House would,
of course, elect MIR. Cleveland TO the Pres
idency. Then the Senate would have TO
select the Vice President from the three
candidates, who had received the highest
number of votes at the poll;. The constl-
tuition prohibits the President and Vice
President both coming from the same
State, and the house having chosen Mr..
Cleveland first, Mr.. Reid would be rem
dered Ineligible. The Senate would, there
FORE be compelled TO choose between Mr..
Stevenson and Mr.. Field, and there is little
room for doubt that they would select the
latter"
The Peoples party managers are doing
some expert figuring on the next House.
They claim that at the very lowest calcu-
lation they will have 100 members in the
next House in addition TO a number OF
Republicans and Democrats, who will be
pledged to Alliance or Peoples party prin-
ciples. They calculate that they are going
tOdictate the selection of thenext Speaker,
and direct the policy Of the House.

CHArTANooGA, Tenn, August l5.-The
convict lease system which occasioned the
lawlessness Of the Coal Greek miners Al
BriceVille, in Anderson county, ABOUT TINS
time last year is again the incltlng cause
for riot and lawless outbreaks IN another
district. 80
Mutterings and threats of this have filed
the air for months. The idea was not re-
ceiyed with full credence and no extraor-
binary precautions have been taken 10 pre-
vent an outbreak in other districts remote
from the scenes Of the troubles of 81.
The first intimation was the unexpected
attack on the guards at Tracy City, last
Friday night, and the liberation OF the con
victs.
From Tracy City il is but short days
walk down the mountain to Victoria, and
trouble was expected after the outbreak AT
Tracy City. The miners gathered together
about 200 we'll armed men and proceeded
towards the stockade.
The squad Of guards formerly on duty at
Tracy City who had taken the released
prisoners from there 10 the penitentiary at
Nashville, were en- route TO lnman 10 re-
inforce the men protecting the prisoners
there.
At Whitewell the train was stopped on
trestle and the reinforcement cut OF. Ihen
a movement was made on lnmsn.
No resistance was made, and 2S2 con-
victs and twenty seven guards were taken
prisoners By mob OF free miners, led by
one Il. p. Bolton, the party having LETT
Whitewell secretly last night.
The prisoners were marched 70 Victoria,
loaded on cars and hauled away by the
switch engine. The convicts were taken
10 Nashville under charge OF +. b. wade,
State Superintendent OF Prisons.
Everything is quiet at lnman. BY the
terms Of surrender the property OF the
company is TO be left unharmed. The
Sheriff says he cannot secure sufficient
force TO protect the stockade, but left on
the first train for lnman.
IL is thought that work will be resumed
in the mines tomorrow morning. The free
miners fear lockout as the result OF their
action to-day.
The wires were cut early this morning
and communication was sent by round
about circuit TO Nashville.
Sheriff Morrison wired Governor Bu-
cAanan the facts in the case this morning
and was ordered by the Governor 10 sum.

property.
He has advised the Governor that he
