Affairs looked 50 serious that the au-
thorities called upon the military, and
reinforcements Of cavalry and infant try
were sent to assist iii preserving order.
The strikers have become 80 daring
that they have cut the telegraph wires
and destroyed the railway lines around
the mines. Troops were sent to dispense
them, but though the strikers were
armed only with stones and few re-
volvers they made most determined at
tack upon the soldiery.
They had good supply Of rocky am
munition, and they rained perfect
shower Of missiles upon the troops. The
latter were compelled to retreat. One
sergeant and two of the strikers were
quite badly wounded.
The strikers are highly incensed by
the fact that they were fired upon and
have made many threats of revenge.
Work in all the mines Is suspended and
the situation grows hourly worse. It is
feared that the strikers may attempt to
destroy property at the mines, and con-
sequently strong force of gendarmes
have been placed on guard about the
mines to prevent any such attempt

TRENTON, Jan. 2S.-The contemplated
race track legislation continues to be
the uppermost topic Of discussion At the
state house. A bill was drafted this
week. but the track managers did not
fully agree upon its provisions, and II
has been withheld for alteration. The
bill, Il Is said, has in view the fixing Of
. period for racing, and the allotment OF
thirty days for each track. This period
Of time distributed among the six tracks
ID this state would mean racing for SIX
months, 81 al that time between May |
and Nov. 1 In each year. Betting on the
tracks would Be legalized and the dis
orderly house section of the criminal
laws would be repealed This would
give each track share In the spells.
Gloucester and Gutenberg might con-
tinue the whole year.
In Hudson county il is impossible to
secure an indictment now. With the
criminal law amended the same thing
would probably be true in Camden
county, where the Gloucester track Is. II
the Monmouth, Clifton and Union
county track owners were able to open
their places they would not care whether
the Gloucester and Gutenberg men kept
open the whole year round or not.
One thing certain, the Gutenberg
men win not consent to anything that
robs them Of all they now enjoy. II
might be that the Clifton and some Of
the other track owners would do little
winter racing themselves. A bin mol
unlike the one now suggested was passed
two years ago, but was not signed by thu
governor.
A bill was introduced in the house
providing that the mayor Of Newark
shall be president Of all public bodies II

THE MoDUS VIyENDI.

The arrangement between tie English
and American Governments in respect to
seal-hunting in Beung Sea is so favorable TO
Canadian poachers that surprise has been
expressed at the hesitation on the art Of
Lord Salisbury to renew it. Under this
arrangement the American iessees of the
PTibyloff Islands were limited To a catch of
1900 seals FOR the year, and the seal-pOaehers
were limited TO the number they could catch.
In theory the paacherS had no rights ut all,
but in fact they did about as they pleased.
The modus vivendi was declared so late in
the season that the sea was covered with
poachers who had received no official warn
Ing that seal-buntiBg was unlawful. These
poachers had only to keep clear of Govern
ment vessels and pursue the seal diligently
TO accomplish the same results as If two
great nations were not standing guard over
their hunting-g ground. The precise number
Of seals the poachers got away with is not
known, but estimates vary between $1,000
and 10000. Lord Salisbury's hesitation
about agreeing to a modus yivendi this year
VIII give the poacheTs the same advantage
the coming season they mad the last. When
the agreement is reached the seal-hunters
will be on the ground. Government vessels
VIII patrol the sea and warn such as
they may overhaul that their pursuit has
been declared unlawful The seal-hunters
will make note OF the warning and keep
bright lookout for other Government vessels.
III they happen TO be taken IN tile act by
British cruiser the season may be short
ened little, but no other penalty will be
eXacted. The New York Tribune's London
correspondent attributes Lord Salisbury's
delay to his lordship's love of disputation
1t is much more probable that he sees in this
delay little indirect help to the Canadian
poachers. IL the modus vivendi had been
agreed TO when the treaty of arbitration
was submitted to the Senate. there would
have been time TO warn the poachers that if
they captured seals ia violation of the agree
ment they did so al their own risk.
The intense desire of many American
public men TO avoid any controversy with
Great Britain that may have an unpleasant
ending Is a source of weakness of which
the British Minister is quick 10 take ad-
vantage. While the British Government
would without doubt go as far In the way
of Cancellation to avoid actual war as our
Government, it is more aggressive in the
earlier stages OF a controversy. The cor
respondent that we have reference to
assumes that Lord Salisbury will in the
end agree to the re-establishment of the
mOduS vvendi. The last dispatch of the
State Department is of tone to convey the
i'm resslon that much longer delay will not
be tolerated. or course il the modus
yiveDdi is net agreed to the United States
will proceed to protect the seals by force.
This may bring on controversy which will
give the British Premier all the dIsputation
he wants
