Calls For an Official Order From tho
Authorities Regarding immigration.
WASHINGTON, Ang. 19.-An order has
been issued by Supervising Surgeon
Walter Wyman, of the marine hospital
service, calling attention to the
cholera epidemic in Russia. AS
there is danger of immigration
introducing the disease, itEis or
dered that from September is no vessel
having on board personal baggage, bed
ding, clothing, etc, belonging to immi-
grants from Russia, or having on board
personal effects, baggage, etc, be-
longing to any immigrant coming
from any cholera infected district
shall be admitted to entry into
the United States unless accompanied
by certificate from the consular officer
at the port of embarkation to the effect
that said personal effects, baggage, etc.
have been disinfected. The chief rea-
son for this order is that cholera was
introduced into this country in 1883 by
infected baggage from foreign coun-
tries.

A Striker Shot.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 19.-Early Thurs
day morning John Fleishman, one of
strikers who was doing guard duty at
Forty-third street and the Valley rail-
road, was probably fatally shot. Two
men were coming toward Fleishman up
the railroad track, and third from the
opposite direction. A stone was thrown
by some unknown party and fell at the
feet of the two men, who immediately
pulled their guns, and four shots were
fired. One of the shots struck Fleish-
man in the stomach and another in the
right hip. The two men who did the
shooting then ran away. An hour
later Fleishman was discovered lying
insensible and was taken to his home.
The attending physician reports his in
juries as very serious and probably
fatal

AIN HELD W.

Four Marked Knnsus Farmers DO the Job
but Few Hours Afterward 1hoy
Were Taken Prisoners.
WICHITA, Kds, Aug. 22.-The st Louis
and San Francisco eust-bound passen-
ger train, which left here at $3.50 Sat-
urday night, was held up, and Wells
Fargo CO. IS express car robbed by four
masked men, near Augusta, Butler
county, about midnight, and before 0
o'clock Sunday morning the outlaws
were captured with part of their booty.
As the train slowed up at the Santa Fe
crossing, about mile east of Agusta, two
masked men mounted the locomotive
from either side, and covering the en-
gineer and fireman with guns, ordered
the train stopped. When the train came
to a standstill two other members of
the robbers gang, who were in hiding,
started to uncouple the express car,
and as soon as this was done the engineer
was forced to pull out with the car,
about mile distant from the rest of the
train. While two of the highwaymen
watched the locomotive crew the others
went to the express car door and de-
manded admittance, and by way of en-
phasizing their demands commenced
shooting through the sides of the car in
which were Express Messenger Shipp
and baggagcman. The imprisoned men
soon gave in. The Wells-Fargo Co. has
only just taken hold of the Frisco
line and their men have not yet re-
ceived their complement of arms, so the
express messenger had nothing with
which to defend his car but u small re-
volver. Shipp was forced to open his
safe and the robbers ransacked every
thing getting fifteen and twenty pack
ages of money.
The whole thing was over in about
thirty minutes, and the highway
men left the train firing few parting
shots at the receding locomotive, which,
however, hit no one. The outlaws did
not attempt to rob the passengers, and
but few of the latter knew any thing
of the situation until all was over.
How much money was secured can not
be ascertained, but the amount proba-
bly, did not exceed sS, 600, as the train
is made up at Burton, twenty miles
west of here. The robbery was COM
initted by four farmers living in the
vicinity of Douglas, Butler county, and,
it seems, was expected.
Sheriff Nipp, of Cowley county, was
informed that such a scheme was
on foot by a fifth member of the
gang early in the week, and while he
could not discovered exactly when this
robbery was to take place, he had a
posse in waiting, and, as soon as he got
wind of the hold-up, he bounced on the
outlaws The robbers are new at hold
ing up trains, but they did their work
like professionals, and the only mistake
they made was in capturing the wrong
train.

Feeling the Effects of the strike.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9o,-The serious
effects of the railroad strikes at Buffalo
are felt in this city among the big re-
ceivers of Chicago dressed beef. AS a
direct consequence the wholesale price
jumped two cents per pound, with n
very scanty supply at that 1t is now
altogether likely that for at least a
week very serious shortage will be
felt, and further advances in the price
are likely to occur. The cars loaded
with beef shipped from Chicago on and
before Monday last, which should now
be here, are sidetrReked at Buffalo and
can not be moved.

Canada Gets Dose of Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-President
Harrison Saturday issued proclama-
ton suspending free passage through
the ST. Mary's Falls canal, so far as
Canada is concerned.
OTTAWA, Aug. 22.-The intelligence
that President Harrison had issued his
proclamation against Canada created
no little excitement here. None of the
ministers here are disposed to express
any decided opinion at present as to
what action Canada will take now that
the American 800" canal is to all in.
tents and purposes closed to Canadian
vessels, owing to prohibitory duties
President Harrison's action was totally
unexpected. Judging from the under
current of feeling displayed in official
circles the Canadian government will
not likely yield.

UNCLE SANS STRENGTH.

Million Men.

He Could Raise an Army of Thirteen
Million Men.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-An unusually
interesting bulletin has just been issued
by the superintendent of the census,
exhibiting, among other things, the
size of the militiable population of the
United States-that is the male popula-
tion of the ages is to A inclusive.
The bulletin shows that there are
13, $50, 1GS males in the United States be-
tween those ages, and it follows, there
fore, that if we We're driven to it, we
could put into the field an army of over
100000 men, except, of course, the
shrinkage from disability and eXemp-
ton. And then we would have 6,OOO,-
900 or more men over the age of AS
years, to attend to the business of the
country, while this army of 5000, 600
men should be in the field.
1t is interesting TO note always that
the increase in the mum ber of militiable
men in the United States in the ten
years from 1880 to 1890 is almost exactly
three millions (2,90S, 929.) Thus it ap-
pears that simply the increase in our
militiable population in ten years is
enough to make three grand armies of a
million men each.
OF the total militiable strength of
the country 11,sO8, 964 is white, and
1,426, ,204 is colored. Of the white
militiable strength 9,0S6, COG is native,
2,917, ,s9S is foreign born.

SITUATION AT HOMESTEAD.
A Bitter Feeling Growing Between Sol

diers and Strikers.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 1s.-Maj Craw-
ford of the militia received information
Tuesday night that an attack was to be
made on the mill by strikers Wednesday
morning at dawn. AS result, several
companies were kept under arms all
night, and shortly after daylight the
entire town was patrolled by strong de-
tachments.
No violence was offered by anyone.
Although there seems to have been no
truth in the report, the utmost vigilance
is maintained by the guards. The strik-
ers Indignantly deny that an attack on
the Carnegies' property was planned or
even thought of. The feeling against
the military by the amalgamated men
is becoming more bitter daily.
A quantity of gas was allowed to ac-
cumulate in one of The pipes in the Bes-
semer furnace Wednesday morning. A
non-union man named Cooper did not
know how to deal with it and caused
an explosion Cooper's leg was shat
tered SO badly that amputation wns
necessary. The damage to the machin-
cry was considerable and will take q
day or two to repair.

An Extraordinary Session of the Kentucky
Legislature Ordered by Gov. Brown.
FRANKFORT, Aug. 20.-Gov. Brown
Friday issued proclamation converting
the general assembly in extraordinary
session August 25. There was great
surprise here when it became known
that the governor was preparing the
proclamation calling for an extra ses-
sion just ten days after its adjourn
ment. The governor has been in con-
sultation with the members of the re-
visory commission and other prominent
lawyers and judges since Tuesday, and
has every reason to believe that he has
taken the proper course, and the re-
sponsibility of so much unconstitutional
legislation will be put where it really
belongs, on the legislature.

G,neral Railroad Tle-Up Probable

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-There are
nearly one thousand railroad men on a
strike, with probability of three
hundred or four hundred more being
added to the number in the next twenty
four hours. The strike on the Central
and West Shore, shortly after midnight,
caused much apprehension. The aim
now seems to be general tie up. The
widest rumors prevail as to the prob
able outcome of the trouble, which
strikers predict may extend'from the

mands are acceded to.
