Strikers Are rIgiy and the militia Wont
s;aad ANY Fociing.
BUFFALO. ~ Y, Aug. 17.---It was
nearly 8 o'clock a. M. when the regi-
ments Of militia had reached the scene
of riot ami disorder in the Erie and
Lehigh Valley yards beyond East But
falo Then they filed out of the trains
and were formed in skirinish lines along
the tracks. Here and there body Of
strikers on syinpathizers could be seen,
but they kept quiet, no doubt on ac-
count of the appearance Of the troops.
The early hoars of the morning wore
away without any disturbance. The
track on both sides of the line for half a
mile was guarded by soldiers while the
balance of the soldiers were holding
their camp with stacked rifles ready Tor
any emergency.
The situation has a decidedly serious
look. The militia is in control Of all the
yards of the roads. The strikers have
been drinking and are as ugly as any
body Of men can be. They say that
they will not permit any Of the men
who have aeen brought here BY the
Reading to 90 TO work and that if any
attempt is made to put them In the
yards they will kill them.
When the new men are put to work
they viii be under the protection Of the
militia and they win work under the
cover OF the rifles and the bayonets.
Sheriff Beck has assured the railroads
that they will have all the protection hs
can give them. Up TO 1880 q. ii.
neither side has made any advance and
the situation is one Of waiting.
At 1890 p. M. train load of switch
men left the Erie depot for the yards.
Trouble is expected. The regiments
have been concentrated and are moving
in body on the strikers. The yards are
under martial law

LONDON, Aug. Il.--Contrary to the
popular impression, but not to the inn
preston of those who k'r3w best the
feelings of her majesty. Mr.. Gladstone
had warm reception at Osborne. AL
though Queen Victoria does not like
Mr.. Gladstone's politics. she has the re-
spect of veteran for a veteran, and is
known to be grateful to Mr.. Gladstone
for the tact and skill with which he has
SO often intervened to protect the royal
family from radical assaults in parlia-
ment. Her majesty talked with Mr..
Gladstone for half an hour in private. OF
their conversation, of course, nothing
has been revealed. ALI that has
reched the public from the royal pre-
cincts is that Lord Salisbury himself
was never treated more cordially. This
attitude of the queen toward the Liberal
leader is commented ON cynically by
Kerr Hardie and others of his stamp,
who seem TO think Mr.. Gladstone should
have forgotten that he was gentleman
and the qneen 4 lady. The conversation
between Mr. Gladstone and the queen
took place in the royal drawing room,
with no ono present but themselves.

Srs PKTEksBuRe. Aug. 1.-THE hor-
rors of Iri3htful skor1n have been
added ID the misery and suffering caused
by cholera at Mil Novogorod. The storm
was one Of the most frightful that has
ever visited the region. 1t came sweep
ing over the town with force and fury
that many buildings were unable to re-
sist. The cholera hospital was full Of
patients, many of them in dying con-
dition. As they heard the roar of the
hurricane some of them died of fright.
The terrible Noise of the approaching
storm was soon followed by the storm
itself, which crushed in large part of
the cholera hospital like an egg shell,
hurting the beds and wooden walls mo
. mass of ruin. From the debris came
the shrieks and groans of the victims. A
number of them died while the work of
rescue was going on. Other buildings
were also crushed in. and the tents OF
the traders who hal remained, notwith-
standing the cholera. were scattered
with their contents in all directions.
The wretched people Of Novogorod have
had all the courage driven out Of them
by this latest visitation, and many of
the superstitious believe that the
Almighty had determined to destroy
the city on accohntof the wickedness of
the people. Those who could fly have
deserted the place, while the people who
remain can be seen in crowds at the
shrines and iii the churches. praying for
the mercy OF heaven.
