Buffalo, n. Y. August 22.-Everything
is running smoothly at the Central eleya-

! the breaking Of some cara hauling ma
chinsry. In all 800 600 tO $50 900 bush

Work in the Lehigh Valley -four houses Is
going on. although there is some delay in
getting empty cars. The Elk-street yards
of tie lake Shore look, slovenly and are
filed with empty and loaded cars mixed
promisouously showing the absence Of the

The Lake Shore has three engines at
work and is doing considerable work, but
the non-union men do not seem able TO
handle the freight as fast as 1t comes In.

rNcRRAsED ACTIVITY IN THE YARDS.
In all the yards to-day there is increased
activity aud engines and trains are passing
20 and fro under military guard without in
terruption and with but little delay. New
men are constantly being added 10 the forces
in the different yards aud they are rapidly
becoming better acquainted With their du-
ties. The strikers have not lost heart yet,
though the outlook is discouraRing. They
are still confident that assistance will come
20 them in their dilemma and that the kin
dred organizations will not let them be
downed in this fight without an attempt be-
ing made 70 save them.
TROOPS TO STAY AS LONG AS NEEDED.
Just when the troops are 10 be ordered
home is a matter OF speculation. Gsneral
Porter says he will not order them home
until he is satisfied they are no longer
needed. Sheriff Beck thinks il Is safe to
withdraw them now. From all be can see

trouble is broken Mayor Bishop thinks
differently. He says that the troops are still
needed.

strongly denounces what is termed the
" "barbarous and treacherous methods Of
the strikers. especially the miners. ID says !:
These men are not entitled t. the name

not even insurgents. who respect the ordi-
nary laws OF war They are destroyers OF
life and property No wonder that public
feeling throughout America is aroused
TO a great degree against these despoilers,
