railroads have filled their wards with non-nnion
men from all over the country. who viii he able

will be lost unless the firemen aud kindred or
ganizations stake such decisive action that viii
compel the railroads TO cspitGlAte.

quest OF the Buffalo hremeu aud order a strike
on the roads mentioned AZ once. one Of the
members said TO a correspondent this morning;

and run two miles. They would then stop,

The strike would Affect passenger trains ~ well

EXTENDING THE LINES.
The Military Now Guarding the Grand
Trunk Tracks.

The Military Now Guarding the Grand
Trunk Tracks.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 20.-As the darkness
settled down along the Niagara river frontier
last night the glitter of the sentries' rifles could
be distinctly seen by the passengers on the
Grand Island boats that slowly pushed their
way ci.yward against the swift current
The events Of the day had not been alarming TO
the railroad people. still the feeling Of the men
on the Grand Trunk had manifested itself so
strongly upon several occasions that il was con-
sidered wise to place the vast railroad interests
at that point under a military guard. The
military line was consequently extended until
Its extreme left rested on the Niagara river at
the point where the great International bridge
touches the American shore. Black Rock
Is the key to the situation SO far
as the Canadian traffic of the Grand
Trunk is concerned. Itis the northwesterly ex-
tremity of the city limits Of Buffalo, and ex-
tends about two miles along the river bank,
while the territory to which the local name is
applied reaches back about one and a
half miles to the Buffalo plains The
international inter, .S bridge strikes the shore in
From this huge iron pathway fve Of the great
est trunk lines Of the American continent di-
verge. At the extreme right and reached by
sharp curve the yards of the n. Y. c. and
n. r. railway spread out like q web. The

cupy track room in the Central yards their
only real estate possessions being a large freight
house standing close to that of the Central
Tho yards Of the New York, Lake Erie and
Western are TO the left Of the Central, while
those of the d. L. and W. are on the right Of
the Erie.
The Grand Trunk have no yard room on the
American side OF the river. Their engines
simply draw the freight across the bridge and
deliver ii TO their connecting lines.
The area Of trackage is very large and as il is
used for the storage q grain in cars, the value
Of the merchandise, in addition TO the rolling
stock, would bring the total to q very high
figure.
On either side Of this railroad domain are
immense manufacturing interests. Among
them are the works of the Calumet Copper Com
pany, the Pratt and Letchworth rolling mills
and malleable iron works. the Shep pard Hard
ware Company, the Gould Forge Company and
many Others of lesser importance. The
population Of Black Rock is consequently
industrial and naturally in the most
hearty sympathy with the striking
switchmen. The infammable character Of the
people is well known TO the railroad officials,
who have good reason to fear the serious re-
suits should an outbreak occur. 1t is doubtless
with these things in view that the lines were
advanced from Cross Cut junction and rein
forced by troops from the eastern section of the
city.

PRIvILEaEs OF INDIANs.-Aoting Secretary
Spaulding has informed James Wood Of Hogans-
burgh, n. Y, who says he is an Indian Of the st.
Regis tribe Of American Indians, that tho pro-
vision Of law exempting from duty the 'peltries
and other usual goods and effects of Indians
passing and repassing the boundary line Of
the United States" does not confer upon Indians
as such the privilege of importing ordinary
merchandise, cattle, horses, &c, without pay
ment Of duty even when brought into the
United States for personal use.

THE EIGBr-HOUR LAW.
It II Held to Affect the Contract for the
Brooklyn Navy Yard Dry Dock.

It ID Held to Affect the Contract for the
Brooklyn Navy Yard Dry Dock.
Solicitor General Aldrich has given an opinion
TO the Secretary Of the Navy that the contract
for constructing q dry dock at the Brooklyn
navy yard is subject to the provisions Of the
eight-hour law of August last. Bids for this
work were opened several months ago, the lowest
being that of John Gillies Of Brooklyn at S4l2 900,
and he wasnotified Of acceptance Of his bid. This
was prior to the passage Of the eight-hour law.
1t so happened, however, that the contract for
the performance of the work had not been for
mally executed in writing and signed by the
contracting parties up to the time the act was
signed by the President and became the law Of
the land.
The Secretary Of the Navy was doubtful a. to
its applicability to this contract and therefore
submitted that question to the acting attorney
general for an opinion. That officer held that
the contract in question was not q contract in
law until it had been reduced to writing
and signed by the contracting parties;
and that therefore as these formalities have
not yet been observed it il clearly subject TO
the provisions Of the present eight-hour law.
The Navy Department has not yet decided its
course in the matter, but it u most probable
that new bids will be invited

"Reports get from Indiana, "he replied, "are

that the victory in Indiana is usually won dur

Speaking of the western situation he said that
he thought the democrats ought to carry Wis

ACcUMULArING GOLD IN THE TREASURY
The Treasury Department is making q sys-
tematic effort to increase the accumulation of
gold reserve. The banks have been accumulat-
ing gold for two years or more, and have an
abundance of it on hand. Just now the banks
are greatly in need Of small treasury notes, and
the department is making it easier for them to
get these notes in any denomination and any
amounts they want they will give gold in sx-
change for them.
