STRIKERS DEPRESSED.
The Overwhelming Mill
tarY Force at Buffalo
DepriVes Them
of Hope.
GUARDING ALL TRAINS.
All Quiet in Jersey City-Switch-
mems Meetings Set for
SuHd :.

BUFFALO, Aug. 10, 1899. The shaking
into place of 5000 soldiers who arrived
last night and this morning. is the most
prominent movement today in the strike
field.
General Doyle this morning completed
the assignment nf all the troops. and to
day, under clear sky, the men are be-
ing distributed to the points indicated in
the carefully prepared schedule.
The strikers in the lower yards were
watching last night along the Central
tracks when the troops were coming in,
and all night pickets were near to OBJ
serve when the morning trains came in
from the East.
They saw, in all, thirty New York Cen
tral cars loaded with men in uniform nd
eleven West Shore coaches also filed with
bluecoats. The impression created upon
the strikers along the lines at East Buff
fale was that the railroad companies are
making powerful demonstration.
The men do not all pause to discrimi-
nate between the railroads and the State,
and the presence of the State Volunteers
is in broad way regarded as an evil
dence of the corporate strength of the
railroad companies.
STRIKERS DISCUSS THE SITUATION.
At the crossings and switch houses
strikers in knots were talking of the sit
uation today. but when outsiders joined
them there was grim reluctance to talk
about the strike.
Bronzed-faced strikers shook their
heads only and said nothing. Indeed.
they have little to say, if anything. They
have obeyed orders. They have struck.
They have quit work. They are not in
the official confidence of their leaders.
They do net know the plans which most
affect themselves.
They can only stand and wait, and men
who wait dumbly under or ders occupy a
sharply different position from those who
plan and lead. To the man who waits in
ignorance of purposes whose results will
touch himself, passing events are magui-
fed In their Importance.
THIN Gs THAT DEPREss THE STRIKERS.
The rolling past them, for instance, of
forty cars filled with soldiers armed with
muskets and pouches of bullets, pro-
duces depression among the men, per-
haps, that might not press with.equal de-
gree upon the leaders, who may have
plans for eounter-stroke.
The one fact tangible TO the men is that
out Of Lehigh and Erie yards trains are
occasionally moving away, always with
those chilly musket barrels as an accom-
paniment to cool any possible desire to
interfere.
They see New York Central trains run
ming out eastward through the day with
frequency that the leaders say is i'm.
possible to the company without the aid
of the striking men.
Meanwhile what have the strike leaders
to encourage them more than the men
have?
AS indicated last night, there are indi-
cations from the strikers side that the
fremen or the trainmen, or both, may be
called out within three days, to add num-
bers, and what is regarded to be strength,
to the striking sWitchmen

thus.
That no person. except a person IL

bottled beer they desire to in this city.

making fight against the ordinance.

dignitied bearing, was arraigned before
Justice Kimmerly in the Second precinct

$50. 600. County Clerk Mclaughlin, John
Edels' Elm and James Hunt are suretles
Tor the latter firm. The bids were re-
ferred TO the North Bridge Committee.
SNAKE HILL ASYLUM.
AT the last meeting of the Board bids
were received for the construction of the
new Lunatic Asylum at Snake Hill. The
bids exceeded the appropriation of 5000, 900
and last night they were all rejected.
Architect Kreitler has been directed by
the proper committee TO strike from his
specifications an immense quantity of
fancy trimming work so as to enable
contractors to keep within the appro-
pration of $500, 600.
The revised specifications were about
to be adopted when Freebooter Coyle OBJ
jected to North River brick being used in
the new building. He desired to have
only Hackensack brick used After a
short argument his suggestion was
adopted. as was one altered by Free
holder Ellis, making it necessary to use
only Beileville brown stone in the con-
struction of the building.
The sum of $500 was set aside for the
building of the penitentiary annex, and
then the Board adjourned to meet again
next Friday evening. at half past seven
O'Clock.

QUAY SULKlNG ALONE.
No Political Significance Attached to His
Atlantic city Visit.


Special to the JerSeD City Neios.
ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 10, 1892 What
ever the rumor mongers may say of Sena-
tor Quay's movements, there is little
politics in his visit here so far. IL is for
rest and recreation in the fullest sense o1
the term.
Yesterday he left the Hoffman and the
pleasant party with which he is sur.
rounded. and went to BrigantIne Beach
on the little steam launch at the inlet
bent upon drum fishing excursion.
No one went with him, as neither Post
master Mexican nor Dick Quay, as the
Senator's son is called by mis- intimates,
has that love for fishing that the Sena-
tor has.
Brigantine is difficult of commupica.
tion, and as the Senator remained there
this evening and did not return to the
city as was expected, his friends believe
enjoy himself to the top of his bent in his
fayorite sport.
So far as he has matured them, his plans
for the fail are as follows: A week will
be spent here, after which he will leav G
for Florida. where nearly a month will be
spent. This will bring the Senator up to
the 1st of October, about which time he
will return to the North and take al
active part in the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture campaign as well as the general
campaign. The visit to Florida is for the
purpose Of thorough recuperation, as the
Senator's health is IN need of building
up. 1t is much run down and he finds
the greatest rest ana recreation in his
fishing excursions, drum fish here and
the tarpon in Florida.
Among the politicians who called at
the Hoffman yesterday was Magistrate
Durham; but as the Senator made an early
morning start, Judge Durham's call was
In the nature of a pro-forma visit.
Neither Chairman Carter nor any other
leader OF national Importance appeared
on the scene, and as far as things now go
the Senator will doubtless be allowed tc
enjoy restful period without let OF
hindrance

they announced this morning a

cents pound, with prospects
of m eat famine if the strike continues
long. The Armour people say that they
