CAUSE TROUBLE AT SAYRE.
The Strikers in Complete Possession of
the Road.

SAYRE, Pa, Aug. l5.-The striking
Lehigh switchmen caused good deal
of trouble here today by refusing to
allow trains to be moved, and II is esti-
mated 5000 cars are tied up in the
yards. Sheriff Powell of Bradford
county, accompanied by Deputy Foley
and a posse of seventy men, arrived
here at IL O'Clock and said that an effort
would be made to run trains. At ! 40 an
effort was made to start an engine and
cars up the new road. 1t was iE,medl-
ately surrounded by strikers. The
excitement was intense and the prospect
pointed to q riot when the engine at
tempted to pass out. Finally il was
given up. The committee of trainmen
resolved that no trainmen would do
switchmen's work. At present tho
strikers are in complete possession. A
determined effort will be made to
move trains tomorrow and serious
trouble is feared.

MR.. wEsroN,s OPINION.
He Thinks Winans Will Be Nominated
Without a Struggle.

Without Struggle.
The Hon. L. NJ. Weston, ex-chairman
Of the democratic state central COM
mittee. was about the corridors of the
Morton last evening and extended his
wonted hospitality to the early arrivals
on the field of the democratic cow en-
ton battle. To a reporter for The HER
AID he expressed himself as confident
that the proceedings Of the convention
would be carried out III . speedy and
harmonious manner. When questioned
as To the probability of the ticket Mr..
Westest said IN substance that there
was no possibility OF . contest for gov
ernor and that Winans would be nom-
mated. In fact all probability of q
struggle would be for the first four Of
fees on the ticket. For treasurer Mr..
Weston conceded that Fred Marvin,
who was early on the ground last even
ing, would have walk away, and at
the present outlook the keenest poiiti-
cal telescope could not discern any
opposition to his candidacy. Referring
again to q leading question as to
Morse's candidacy and his letter of
withdrawal, Mr.. Weston was of the
opinion that il would be taken in good
faith. In response TO a question about
the attorney general, Mr.. Weston dis
creetly avoided discussion of Ellis or
other contestants by saying that the
Kent county delegation, which he leads.
would support Thomas F. McGarry OF
this city and was confident that there
would be . ralIying force from the
other delegations to secure his nOmina-
tion. As regards the minor offices on
tine ticket there seems to be no possi-
bility Of = struggle.

FIXING UP A SLATE
Gladstone Has Selected Two
Offices for Himself.
HE SLEEPS ATOS BORNE HOUSE
In Accordance With Custom-A Trium-
phal Journey-toreign News
and Gossip.

LONDON, Aug. l5.-lt is learned this
evening that Mr.. Gladstone has chosen
for himself the Offices of the first lord
Of the treasury and lord of the prlvy
seal.
1t was rumored today that Mr.. Glad
stone means to have q thorough over
hauling of the system of administration
in India and that, in addition to home
rule for Ireland, ne may formulate a
scheme Of national government for
India, resembling in certain leading
characteristics the constitution of Ger
many, the peoples Of the various states
and possessions being represented IN an
Indian parliament, with the sovereign
of Great Britain as an empress or en-
peror and the dlgnitles, estates and
emoluments of NATIVE princess beiug
interiered with las little as possible.
The marquis of Ripon, who is said to
be booked for the Indian office, is said
to he fully IN sympathy with the liberal
views Of Mr.. Gladstone, and il Is as
sured that the advent of Rlpon means
many important reforms.
Colonial Secretary.
The Rt. Hon. John Wodehouse Kim
berley will probably be appointed secre-
tary OF the colonial office. He ie noted
for his suavity of manner and has a.
ways favored the most amicable way
of getting out of a dispute. 1t is SAID
that Lord Kimberley has not alto
gether approved the course Of the late
government in Behring sea and he is
even reported to have declared that
the controversy had been too aggres-
slvely conducted on the part of Great
Britain.
Mr.. Gladstone, 1t is stated, obtained
the views of all the Scottish liberal
memberl in regard to the selection of q
secretary of state for Scotland and the
general verdict was in favor of Prof.
James Bryce. The 1t. Hon. John Nor
ley, will, beyond any doubt, be chief
secretary for Ireland, and Sir William
Vernon Harcourt chancellor of the
exchequer. Sir William, it Is said, was
offered and declined the home Office.
Accepted by the Queen.
The conservative newspapers ridicule
the story that Lord Rosebery is troubled
with insomnia. The St. James Ga
zctte cites quotations from Lord Rose
bery's speeches, etc., as showing that
he expected and prepared to hold Of
flee as far bacK as June last.
In the house of lords today Lord
Salisbury stated that the cabinet had
presented its resignation, which had
been accepted by the queen. HIS lord
ship then asked Lord Kimberley, as the
leader of the liberal peers, to explain
to the house the foreign and domestic
policy Of the incoming government.
Lord Kimberley replied that he was
not yet member of the cabinet and
could not, therefore, consider himself
authorized to reply to the query of the
noble earl.
Lords Connemara and Edinburgh
took their seats after the usual oath
and the house adjourned until Thurs
day.
