of the Divisions.
WINNIPEG, March 2l.-The Canadian
Pacific strike has assumed q serious as
pect. The conductors and trainmen on
the Pacific Division, from Donald to
Vancouver, were called out to-day, and
dispatches from Rat Portage tell of seri-
Gus disturbances there. Several trains
were cut into sections by the strikers at
different times to-day, and the officials
engaged in trying to move trains ex-
perlenced much trouble. The draw
heads were stove in and the couplings
thrown away. Some of the new train
men were shot, and one brakeman was
struck with rock.
An official at Rat Portage telegraphed
this afternoon that the situation is seri-
Gus, and several of the crews of new men
were SO badly scared they would not
come out OF the cabs. Upon the receipt
of this information General Superintend-
ent Whyte waited upon the Lieutenant
Governor and asked that sufficient
Iorce OF militia be sent to prevent fur
ther violence; that the special force of
police sworn in by the company is not
adequate. A detachment of mounted
police has been brought from Regina to
Brandon and quartered near tie Canadian
Pacific property.
Chief Conductor Clark this afternoon
said the Pacific Division men struck out
or sympathy for the strikers of this
division. All is reported quiet on the
Pacific Division tonight.

Plenty of Talk, But No Blood Spilled.
New YORK, March q. Charley
Mitchell ran across James Corbett in
downtown barroom this evening and
made some abusive remark that induced
Corbett to intimate that Mitchell was not
behaving as gentleman should. This
angered Charley, who INDUCED in much
foul language, and wordy war ensued.
Mitchell wanted to fight right there but
Corbett said he was not i'll the habit OF
fighting in barroom. He would sign
articles and fight in the ring. After much
wind the policeman cleared every body
out.
