New ORLEANS, August 30-A strike
has been in progress here for some days,
by the switchmen of the New Orleans
and New Eastern railroad, part of the
Queen and Crescent system, growing out
of the objection of the men to the yard
master who was from ST. Louis. The
men left work and the yard master tele-
graphed to St. Louis for switchmen to
take their places. A party of eleven
arrived here at 9 o'clock last night from
St. Louis and went to work at
once. At eleven forty five this morning
the men were seated around the yard
talking when four of them in group
were suddenly fired upon and all four
fell over badly wounded, AS far as
could be ascertained there were dozen
men In the attacking party. One of the
wounded men had straengtb enOugth left
to draw his revolver and fire, bringing
down one of the assailants. The other
switchmen rushed up to the assistance OF
their wounded brethren and the strikers
fled. Geo. Sprague, one of the switch
men was fatally wounded and will live
only few hours and w. r. Smith, W.
r. Naples, and J. F. Jones, are seriously
and probably fatally wounded. Jane:
Sexton of the strikers is also fatally
hurt.

WASHINGTON, August 30.-Acting sec
retary Sapulding said late this afternoon
that it had been suggested to him to es-
tabllsh quarantine of twenty days
against all vessels bringing immigrants
to the United States 1t could not be
said that the treasury department was
considering such an extreme step. The
exigencies of the case would have to be
very desperate to justify resorting to
such an extreme measure and it would
not be done unless absolutely necessary
for the public welfare.

HAMBURG, August 8O.-Thc sultriness
of the atmosphere since early last even

with increased rapidity, and hopes of
the near abatement of the disease have
received shock. Tonight eight hun
drcd and ten new cases and three hun
drcd and nineteen deaths are reported
for the day The number of inter
ments yesterday was $50. The
long expected panic seems to
have come. The exodus of families with
property is continuous and increasing.
The railway stations are full night and
day and there is difficulty in finding
porters enough to transport baggage
Business is dead Most of the shops not
dealing in the daily necessities are closed
Those that remain open do hardly a tentl
of their usual trade. The cafes are de
serted and the restaurants are with
out patrons except at meal times
The hotels to-day received but TWEEN

are virtually empty. The loss of tn
trade in the last three days is estimatc'
to be in the millions. The celebration
of Zedan day anniversary of the surren

Six cases of the cholera are reported thi
evening from the military camp at Lock

are ailing and a temporary hospital fC

CHARLESTON, S. c., August 30.--Re-
turns of the democratic primary elections
to- day from the interior of the State are
very late in getting in. In Charleston
county the conservatives won sweeping
victory, electing their State, county and
Congressional ticket by majority of
over $500. Brawley, the candidate for
Congress in the First district, leaves the
sea coast with over 5000 majority over
Stokes, the alliance candidate. Stokes
vote in the county can scarcely
overcome this. Ferguson, the conserva-
tive candidate for sheriff, us elected by
1.5O0 to 1850 majority. Contrary to all
expectation, the election proved very
peaceable. the most intense interest was
largest since 1876. Tillmanites claim the
State, but these claims are disputed.
The conservatives victory in this city is
being celebrated tonight. 1t will
be impossible to get at the Con-
gressional vote for several days.
Returns received here indicate the elec-
ton Of Tillman by Shout 10, 900 majority
on popular vote. Returns from thir
teen to thirty five counties give Sheppard
ga and Tillman 6S delegates to the State
convention. The conservatives get 1
majority of Congressman, electing Braw
ley in the first, Johnston in the third an(
Hemphill in the fifth districts. Shell il
the fourth is the only alliance Congress
man so far elected.
| COLUMBIA, S. c., August 30.-Re
turns from to-day's democratic primarie
are coming in very slowly. Sheppard
the conservative candidate is ahead s.
far, but Ti.lman's strongholds in til
rural districts have not yet been hear
from. The conservatives have mad
heavy gains over their vote of two year
ago, but as yet not ten per cent. Q
the vote of the state has bee
heard from, it is impossible to forete
the result. Indications point to renom
nation of Congressman Brawley, Johr
ston and Iemphill.

LONDON, August 30 -Four letters of
the bOuchere-Gladstone controversy
will be published in the London Truth
some day this week. In the first one
Mr. Gladstone tells Mr.. Labouchere that
he alone is responsible for Mr.. Labou-
chere's being left out of the movement
and that the Queen had nothing to do
with it. To this Mr.. Labouchere replies
that no doubt it is very chivalrous for
Mr.. Gladstone to take all the RESPONSE
bility, but hints at his lingering belief
that her Majesty had finger in the pie
Mr.. Gladstone writes pleasant
letter in answer but makes no refer
ence to Mr.. Labouchere's somewhat
ungallant belief. To this Mr.. Labouc-
here replies gently alluding to this lack
of reference and takes it that he is per
haps not so very far wrong in suggesting
interference by Her Majesty. Mr.. La.
bOuchere added that he was too stalwart
radical not to support a government
pledged to reforms. He only regretted
that those reforms did not include the
abolition of the house of Lords and the
dlsendowment of the established
church. Mr.. Gladstone replied or
the 25th confirming his previous
note, which he declared was a true and
succinct statement of the case. Mr.
Labouchere's final letter was sent on tht
Goth. In this he praised Gladstone's long
and noble service and hoped that th'
coming session would show that the radi
calls did not regret that Mr.. Gladstone
was premier. Mr.. Labouchere expresse
regret that he had troubled Mr.. Glad
