GAVE HIMSELF UP.-Last night
about 9 o'clock young man walked
into the Washington police headquar-
tiers and told the officer in charge he
was wanted in England for embezzle-
ment committed there last February.
The young man seemed very much de-
pressed, and the official had the self
accused fugitive locked up. He stated
his name was William Rennison, and
that his home was in London, England.
He said he had been employed by Jas.
Hill & Co. of that city, manufacturers
of hardware and locks and in an evil
moment committed an embezzlement
and left England. Landing in America
in the latter part OF February, he went
to Virginia, where, under the name of
Walter Ross, he received employment
on farm. He said he could not sleep
or rest and went to Maryland, and
again found employment on truck
farm. His conscience upbraided him
to that extent he could stand it no lon
ger, and he resolved to give himself up.
The penalty in England for such crimes
is transportation or imprisonment at
hard labor, from 5 to 90 years, at the
discretion of the judge.

Governor Flower, of New York, as
stated in the GAZETTE yesterday, order
ed out 5000 troops, including several
regiments from New York and Brook
Ign, and the soldiers will be distributed
ut points along the roads involved in
the switchmen's strike. President Nc
Leod, of the Reading system, has de-
clined to listen to any overtures
looking to arbitration, saying
'the time to ask or consider
the question of arbitration had
passed when the men abandoned the
service of the company, destroyed its
property and threatened to murder its
employees" The Nickel Plate switch
men Joined the strikers purely from
sympathy, and threats are made of ty-
ing up the roads from Chicago to New
York. The New York Central, under
military protection, succeeded in NOV
ing several trains of freight from Buffa-
10 yesterday, and the railroad compan-
les are confident that with military pro-
lection they will win. The situation is
unchanged. The switchmen on all the
roads entering Louisville also threaten
to strike.

LABOR AFFAIRS in this country have
reached such a serious condition that
they are attracting the notice even OF
foreign newspapers, which usually pay
little or no attention to anything that
is going on here. The London Daily
Ne,us says: "There has been nothing
like these riots in the experience OF the
present generation. 1t is the saddest
disappointment to lovers of liberty in
the history of our time. 1t is useless to
say that America is no worse off than
her neighbors. Ifshe is no better of,
she has distinctly failed" Yes, she
has failed; but that she has, is by no
means strange to those wise enough to
have foreseen the legitimate effect
of unlimited immigration and unre-
stricted suffrage. Not to have failed,
would have been Il wonder; to have
failed, is only natural and what might
have been expected.

TIE THIRD PARTY continues to cry
for the free coinage of silver, and that
the silver mine owners and theimport-
ers ofsilver bullion shall receive dol
lar certificate Tor every sixty-five cents
worth of silver they may send to the
mints, and they do this though the
holders of such certificates have al
ready commenced to take them to the
ub-treasury in New York by the mil
lion and demand gold in exchange for
them, and though the Canadian banks
have begun to refuse American silver
dollars on deposit, and mortgages in
this country to stipulate for gold pay
ments. Free silver coinage would help
silver owners and spectators, but how
it could possibly help farmer is only
what a third party man can tell.
