Gladstone Presides Over the First
Session of His Cabinet.
LATE ADDITIONS TO TIE SLATE.
Great Britain Having Eard luck With Ee'
Disabled Warships.
LATE NEWS OF THE CHOLERA sCOURGs

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE first meeting of
the new Cabinet was held to-day. Mr..
Gladstone presided. The session lastel two
hours. 1t is probable that Mr.. Burt
La5oriss, will be appointed Under-Secre-
tary of the Home Office; Mr. Buxton,
Under Secretary OF the India Office, and
Sir Edward Grey, Under Secretary OF the
Foreign Office. The Right Hon. E lward
Marjoribanks, Patronage Secretary of the
Treasury, sent out tonight his first whip,
asking the Liberal members to assemble in
the House of Commons tomorrow.
The resolutions adopted at the meeting of
Irish societies held at Ogden Grove, near
Chicago, Monday, are being used by the
Unionists to embarrass the Liberals
The Iinss says that one of
the principal problems Of the
Separatists is the treatment Of so-called po-
litical prisoners. 1t is probable, the Times
adds, that the Clericals, including Messrs
Dillon and Davitt, would readily acquiesce
in postponement of the subject did the
decision rest with them, but the feeling
in patriotic circles on both sides of the At
lantic is too strong. This feeling affords
the Parnellites a dangerous instrument,
with which they will keep prodding the
Clericals. The Times regards the meeting
is still alive. 1t concludes:
Among the convicts now in Jail are men
who were dispatched to Great Britain by
O'Donovan Rosa himself since his release.
Are they to be sent back to enlist fresh re-
cruits who will be hailed Us heroes in
America?
The Chronicle thinks that Mr. Gladstone
selected the members of his cabinet
rather on the theatrical star company
system. "Forees of genius. it says, ''are
with difficulty, discernible, but they are
sound and faithful men who will stick to
business and to the leader in sunshine,
and perhaps will form as good a ministry
as the Premier, who is himself ministry
all the talents could wish for, while he
has to depend upon a vacillating electorate
for a heterogeneous majority" The Chronicle
considers a young Peer willing to say
ditto" to Mr.. Morley a better appoint
ment as IRISH Viceroy than Lord BrasseY,
whose sympathy with Ireland is a trife
doubtful.
The Standard thinks Baron Houghton
old enough to have given evidence of the
qualities essential to statesman. Lord
Roseberry's appointment, it says, is evil
dence of the conservatism with which his
more advanced admirers have often re-
preached Mr.. Gladstone, and is o warrant
for predicting that Mr.. Gladstone's bark
will prove worse than his bite.
The Telegram announces that Lord Sails
bury in an unselfsh spirit will accept no
distinction from the Crown except the
privilege of wearing the Windsor uniform,
which has only been granted during the
present reign to Lord Melbourne, Lord
Palmerston and Earl GREY.

An Alleged Politico-Commercial Prrjsc
Based tpon Democratic Success.
BOSTON, MASS, Aug. ia story
is afoat here to the effect that leading
New York and Boston Democrats have
been bonding Nova Scotia coal mines
with the intention of buying them if
Cleveland and Democratic Congress are
elected, believing that with such a combi-
nation the tariff would probably be taken
off coal, and Immediately the product of
the Nova Scotia mines would become more
valuable. Hon. William C. Whitney is
credited with leadership in this politico-
commercial enterprise.
President Henry M. Whitney, of the
West End Street Railway, who has just re-
turned from the provinces, was asked to-
day as to what interest he and his brother.
ex-Secretary Whitney, might have in the
movement. IT can only say" replied Mr.
Whitney, "that 1 am not interested in it,
nor are any Of my relatives, as far as am
aware. 1t is Mr.. Wilson, of New York,
who has bought the property, as under
stand"

WORK OF RENEGADE APACHEs.

General McCook Looking Out for Nj iraul-
ers Who Have Committed Murder.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Acting Secre-
tary Grant received a telegram this morn
ing from General McCook, at Los Angeles,
CAL, in regard to the case of the two men
murdered at Dayenport's ranch, 16 miles
south of Sevor, N. NJ, on the Sth instant,
from which it appears that the act was
probably committed by a party of eight
renegade Apaches under the notorious Kidd
who were recently seen in that vicinity
under somewhat suspicious circumstances.
General McCook says he has four parties
out in search of the marauders, two from
San Carlos, one from Bowie, and one from
Grant, and that the troops with the bound
ary commission are also keeping constant
watch for them.

Because Only One Side Agrees to That
Mode Of Ssettlemsnt-The Companies
Refuse to Meet the State Bosrd-PIenty
of the Strikers Present, Though.
BUFFALO, Aug. 17.-[SpeciaL J. The
State Board Of Arbitration, it was learned
tonight, has failed to do anything at all
toward getting the dispute between the
strikers and the companies submitted to
arbitration. The board held secret meet
ing last night. and Grand Master Switch
man Sweeny and Is of the strikers
attended. They submitted their side OF the
dispute to Mr.. Donovan at length, and
formally declared they were willing to
agree to the whole matter being settled by
arbitration. They agreed to stand by any
decision that might be made.
This afternoon the members of the board
issued invitstions to all the officials of the
railroads involved to come and state their
side of the case and to agree also to have
the matter submitted for arbitration. With
out Single exception the railroad men
sent their excuses for not accepting the in
vitation, and added their refusals to turn
their business over to the hands of any
board of arbitrators
The Strike Sure to Spread.
Mr.. Donovan will go home tomorrow.
It is stated tonight, by both sides that the
strike will spread. Mr.. Sweeny declared
that if he found the men were losing he
would call out every switchman West of
here to Chicago, but the calling out of
switchmen West is not feared so much as
that the trouble will spread right here, and
that the switchmen will be Joined by the
fremen and brakemen, and possibly the en-
gineers
The organizations of nearly all these men
sympathize with the switchmen. 1t is
stated tonight, on what is said to be good
that the fremen are almost on
the point of striking, and that a request
from the Switchmen's Union would draw
an order from the Firemen's Union to its
to quit work. If the fremen
should quit, the engineers, while they might
not strike, would refuse to work with green
men as assistants, and that would certainly
mean tie-up.
sympathy From All the Men.
That the sympathy of those other organ
izations is with the switchmen was proved
to-day, and has been proved al most every
day since the strike began, by the refusal
Of any of the trainmen to touch switch.
The calling out of the switchmen on the
Central and West Shore roads did not tie
them, as the strikers hoped. The Central
moved several trains, and the West Shore a
great many more. The switching was done
BY men from the depots who had worked at
,thef things.
So far the strike has not affected the pas
'enger service on any of the roads.

Coup in Ohio southern.
SPRINGFIELD, O., Aug .-Superinten-
dent w. II. Van Tassel, of the Ohio South
e-n, resigned tonight after service dating
almost from the inception of the road. He
will be succeeded by William Ramsey, late
OF the c., II. V. & T., and brother of
General Manager Ramsey, of the Big Four.
The rumor that Henry S. Ives has a hand
in the Southern Ohio pie is again revived by
the resignation of Superintendent Van
Easel, and it is asserted that President
Saul represents Ives interest in the road.
Ives bought up the block of stock unloaded
by Fairbanks, Sully and Greaves.
Ives believes the road has great possibili-
ties, and he will extend it to the river and
also to the north, possiblyto Lima, where
it will tap the great iron arteries to Chicago.
This of itself would boom the stock and
scare the Big Four, which would probably
pay heavily for lease of the road.

THE BLOCKADE AT SAYRE.
A Strong Feeling in the Borough Against
the Railroad Companies.

Strong Feeling in the Borough Against
the Railroad Companies.
ELM1RA, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE situation
at Sayre to-day was practically unchanged
from that of yesterday. Both strikers and
railway officials remain passive, but there is
a feeling that an effort will be made during
the next "a hours to move trains. It was
currently reported in that borough this
morning that the Sheriff had summoned an
other force of deputies and would attempt
to take possession of the property at noon.
At that time, however, he had not arrived,
and nothing definite concerning his actions
could be learned.
Superintendent Stephenson stated that
the company proposes to raise the blockade
at Sayre if it takes the entire State militia
to do it. This remark gives color to the
rumor that if the next attempt OF the Sheriff
and his deputies to take possession fails, the
militia will be called out 1t was also re-
ported that carload of non-union men
would arrive in Sayre to-day to take the
places of the striking switchmen. A dele
CATION of the strikers visited all the board
ing houses in the borough this morning and
requested the proprietors to refuse to board
any ''scabs" 1t is said the boarding house
keepers promised the men to accede to their
wishes. The feeling of all railway men in
Sayre is so strongly with the strikers that it
is doubtful if any of them would consent to
work with non-union switchmen.

DREANT OF HIS DEATH.

Sad Drowning of a Little BOY Foretold by
His Anxious Mother.
SOUTH BEND, IND, Aug. T-Dreams
seldom come true, but that is not the ex-
perience of Mrs. Jacob Traub, who resides
on a farm north of this city. Saturday night
she dreamt that her only son, Willie, aged
IA Years, was drowned in the St. Jvseph
river before her eyes and that through all
his death struggle she could give him no
assistance.
She told her dream to the family next
day, but the young folks laughed and soon
wanted to 60 to the river. She gave her
permission under protest and the boy and
his sister went. Soon after he fell in and
despite his sisters efforts was drowned.
One sister tried to save him and would have
been drowned also but for the assistance of
some men.
