BUFFALO. n. Z, Aug. 23-To-day o train
load of Western freight was shunted into
the Lackawanna yards from the Lake Shore
freight yards. Soon after about 125 switch.
men quit. Superintendent Seabert of the
road was asked If the strike would impede
the passenger or freight traffic.
He replied. ''NO: it finds us fully pre-
pared. We have men to take the places of
those who quit. and trains will move as
usual" Ii is learned that the freight 10
which the men objected was believed by
them to be from the Lehigh. This was
mistake, as an official claims that it was or
dnary lake freight.
Trains were running as usual an hour
after the strike. Two hours later, for sim
liar reasons, it is said, the switchmen on
the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg road
went out - adding Is more to the idle
swtchmen. The telephone wire between
Superintendent Seabert's Office and the
yardmaster's office was cut this afternoon,
thus preventing communication between
the head Office of the Delaware, Laeka-
wanna and Western aud theic yards.
Shortly after the tie-up on the Lacka-
wanna this afternoon the switchmen waited
upon Superintendent Seabert and offered
their services TO protect the cOmpany's
property. Seabert replied that he did not
think the company would require guards,
military or otherwise, and thanked the men
for their offer.
The reports sent out from here early this
morning to the effect that a conflict took
place between the strikers and troops in
which several were killed and others
wounded, were without foundation. No
disturbance of a serious nature occurred
last night except firing by skuikers, which
was replied to by the soldiers, bnt no one
is known to have been shot. Reputable
newspa per men in this city are instituting
inquiry as TO who constructed the news that
caused such cruel anxiety among the
friends Of those here.
ELMuRA. \. Y, Aug. 23.-The crews on
all the Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern coal trains who reside in this city were
told this morning there was no work for
Them 10 do. and they were sent back home.
The switchmen, of which there are 10 in
this city. are all idle to-day. The men re-
fuse to talk, and the only explanation for the
cessation OF work here is that the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western switchmen in
Buffalo have been ordered out.

4 SCANDAL At ROME.
Cardinal RuggierO Dismissed From Office
by the Pope.

ROME, Aug. 23-Great excitement has
been caused by the dismissal OF Cardinal
Ruggiero, Prefect Financial of the affairs
of the Propagand and who has been
looked upon by many as the pEOb-
able successor of Pope Leo Kill Ii
is said that the Pope himself ordered
Ruggiero's dismissal. being convinced, as
the result Of an inquiry. that Ruggiero, and
not Monsignor Folich, was really the
guilty party in connection with the
misinyestmeuts, to use a mild term,
for which Monsignor Folichi was ex.
PEELED from the papal service about
year ago. The dismissal of Folichi was
brought about. il is said, by Cardinal Rug.
gierO. FOiiehi was Vice Chamberlain to the
Pope and had control of the paoal funds 1t
was alleged that in the winter of 1890
and 1891 F0lichi, supported by Prince
Buoncompagni aud Baron Lazzaroni, re-
solved, in order 10 save the Banco di Roma
in which the Vatican held 10000 out of H.
Geo shares, besides other securities. to
establish In Paris, London, Rome, Berlin
and New \ York a syndicate of Catholic banks
with the object of absorbing the financial
societies OF Rome, which were known to be
in bad condition, and to restore them
to vitality, while at the same time
raising the value OF deprecated Sc
curities. Above all they wanted to
save the Banco di Roma, intending. as
they eventually did, TO reconstruct It. The
scandal arising out of the affair has already
been made public Later investigations
appear TO EaVe exonerated Folichi and i'm
plicated Ruggiero.

stances of his exclusion from the Govern
ment. lie says he never thought of seeking
Office, that be never asked q Minister in

cepted Office il IL had been offered
him. Radical appreciation weighs more
with him than that of all the
EmperOrs, Empresses. Queen, Lords
and lickspittles in the universe. He cares
not whether his berth is in the officers
quarters or In the forecastle, but he thinks
that the new administration is hardly i'm
harmony with democracy. Mr. Gladstone
appears, he says, TO be still unaware the
Liberal party Is not what 1t was. Ii he had
consulted his lieutenants more it would
have been different He has more confidence
In Sir William Vernon Harcourt, and re-

strange rum0r afioat that Gladstone will re-

party exist IN the ranks Of the Liberals-a
