THE STRIKES REVIEWED.
Comments Of the London Press on the
Industrial Situation.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-0n the Industrial situ-
alton in the United States the Chronicle
says: The American people had the most
splendid inheritance ever conferred on
alton, and they have grossly misused IL.
Hordes OF vulgar ufiice-seekerS have been
permitted to fatten on the public body /;
great cities are given over TO men who
ought to be in prison, and millions on
millions OF acres OF public lands are
given with a light heart to railway cor
porations which now threaten 10 strangle
the republic in their octopus-like grasp.
This Is the real, practical anarchism
which ruins states, compared with which
the anarchism of a handful Of desperate
fanatics is almost innOcuOuS. That is
the general moral of the labor war; but
there are special questions relating TO rail-
way and convict labor. 1t is simply mon
strOus that capitalists are allowed 10 use
convict labor; so mOnstrous that no self
respecting community could possibly toer-
ate ii.
The Standard says: Men do not fight like
tigers and wreck property with savage fury
unless driven desperate by want Evil
IDENTIFY point Is reached when the men
feel that life is not worth living
The Times says: The labor troubles in
the United States have taken a form not
easily 10 be distinguished from civil war.
We cannot yet venture TO think the danger
ended. IL Is small wonder that the course
OF affairs Il watched with alarm by those in
whose memory the events of 1877 are still
fresh.
The Daily News. in commenting on labor
troubles in the United States, says: This
labor war. in a literal sense of the word,
1ustihes the prediction OF many diligent
students OF American politics and society
that social troubles come earlier and prove
Infinitely more bitter in a republic than in
the old-fashi0ned monarchies of Europe.

K. Bruce of Mississippi said tc THE CALL
correspondent concerning the political situ-
alton IN the Southern States: "That all is
not peace. good cheer and encouragement
with our friends. the Democrats. is most
apparent. In my recent trip South and
West had ample opportunity to note this
fact. 1t is also matter of general Botoriety
throughout the country. The recent revolt
In Alabama, which promises TO be perma-
nent and far-reaehing, and the bold aud
aggressive attitude of the Alliance and In
dependents in North and South Carolina
and Georgia are strikingly illustrative of
this assertion. The fact is that the great
unrest and anxiety pervade the houses of
our Democratic brethren"
Bruce describes the attitude of the colored
voter as follows: "No man who has ever
occupied the Presidential chair has had
their confidence 10 a greater degree than
Mr.. Harrison. He has done all in his power
for them to secure the exercise of their
legal rights, and has appointed a greater
number of them 10 Office than any of his
predecessors. The cOlOred voter is emphat-
icaly Harrison maD."

.ELMIRA. n. Y. Aug. 19-The freight
blockade at Sayre, Pa, and Waverly, n. Y,
the great transshipping points for Pennsyl-
vania coal, was virtually raised to-day.
About 80 o'clock this morning the ball
was set rolling at Waverly, when the freight
train on the Philadelphia and Reading from
Sayre was stopped on a switch by the
strikers. The military were notified aud
they marched to the railway tracks, formed
a line 10 abreast and marched up the tracks
10 clear the roads. Hundreds Of people
blocked the tracks and the banks along the
railroad, yelling al and guylDg the mill
tary. a picket line was formed, but while
they were forming the FIRE in the engine
was mysteri0usly dumped and the coupling
pins between the cars were pulled. The
FIRE was rrbuilt ard one Coal and Iron
man dared 20 do il. The train was then
pulled out on TO the Erie tracks and passed
to the depot all right, closely followed by a
delegation Of strikers. Lines If military
guarded the train on either side. 1t was
soun found that sume moTe pins had been
pulled and the train was stopped again (;
but eventually it was gotten of without
further trouble. Three trains more also
passed out between the lines of military
aud the company claim that the blockade
Ia raised.

Olympic Club.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug 20.-It having been
reported that the gambling element had be-
come opposed TO the Olympic Club because
the organization refused to changa its
dates so as to keep visitors here
two additional days, and the statement hav-
ing been circulated that the gamblers would
try and put obstacles in the way of the
fight or do something to induce the fighters
TO break their contracts with the club,
President Noel was seen by O representa-
tive OF the Associated Press and made the
following statement:
The story of gamblers being put out ae
the clubs arranging of dates is all nom
sense. We never have been approached by
them on the subject They are now, and
nave always been, satisfied with the
dates Tor the fights. and they will do
nothlng TO prevent the contests coming off.
me eluo did not at any time make pledges
10 any parties TO the effect that it would
change the dates In the event of the prize
night bill being killed by the Legislature.
The talk about the fighters funkIng at
this time Of the game is the veriest rot.
Men like COrbett, McAuiffe and Skelly
have too much ambition to allow themselves
TO be led away by any promises
that might be held out to them by the
opposition. The whole talk is engendered
by some enemy of The club, with view to
injure us In the eyes of the outside world,
but as people elsewhere are well aware the
present arrangement of dates is the best
thing that could be effected for VISITORS"

BUFFALO. Aug. 20-There need be no
more mlncing terms as TO the fate Of the
striking switehmen here while the status
which prevails tonight is maintained. Un-
less the labor leaders adopt decisive meas
ures in new directions, the switchmen in
the Buffalo yards are undoubtedly defeated
They know it themselves, out still cling to
the conviction that something will yet hap
pen. Their faith is in their leaders. They
hope the fremen may come out, and yet the
mass Of them, while hoping, have little
knowledge OF the progress of official di-
plomacy, and tonight, as at the beginning
of the week, they are dumbly awaiting the
Issue.
During the afternoon the non-union
switchmen on the New York Central were
all supplied with revolvers and given direc-
tions to use them only for self-defense.
The manufacturers and business men in
the neighborhood of the railroads have

vicious aud vigorous. Pistols were drawn
by outsiders, but the actual participants in
the fight cOntented themselves with the use
of clubs and fists. Every man on the outside
waited for the other fellow to fire first.
The speakers witnessed the fight from
the stand with much interest and some fear
that shooting might be commenced. When
the rioters STOPPED fighting from act

BUFFALO, Aug. 20.-"All the passenger
trains on the Erie are running on time,"
said Chief n-dispatcher Fitzgerald to-
day. ''We also started three freight trains
eastward and hope to get out four or five
more during the day. No reason is now
apparent Why We should not be doing the
full amount of business in the course Of
two or three days"
A general officer OF one Of the trunk lines,
who has had wide experience with striking
employees, said to-day: 1T is absolutely
ridiculous 10 look for a strike of the fremen
as s0on as tomorrow"
The law and legislative committee of the
Board of Supervisors of the county will to-
morrow visit all the railroad yards for the
purpose of making an official investigation.
No troops will be recalled until after this

ANOTHER ACCOUNT,

Opponent Out.

Inc AUSTRALIAN CIeyerly knocked Af6
Opponent Out.
LONDON, Aug. 20.-Another account of
the fight says: Little advantage was gained
by either man in the first round. Pritchard's S
supporters felt confident that their man
would win, and ESQ to e1O0 was offered on
Pritchard as the men came up for the Sec
ond round.
In this round Pritchard knocked Hall
clean off his pins with a left-hauded
counter Pritchard stood over his opponent,
up. He kept out of danger, and recovered
so quickly that he was going as fast as
Pritchard at the call of time.
During the period of rest between the
second and third rounds Mitchell gave sage
advice to Hall, who still wore a smile OF
confidence. In the other corner BaIdock
said: IT'S pinch for you, Ted; you have
only got to finish him again in the middle"
Both men stepped to the scratch at the
word. Hall ducked from Pritchard's lead
ana banged his left on the latter's mouth.
Before Pritcbard could recover Hall once
more smashed him on the left eye, which
was now cut and diseolored.
Hall Quite Confident.
'T'll bet ei00 that Hall leaves the ring
without mark" said Mitchell, and Hall,
with smile, again landed heavily on
Pritchard's left eye. Pritchard now seemed
to get on his opponent, until in the last Is
seconds Hall delivered heavily with both
hands. PTitchard was fought into the cor
ner of the ring and was having bad time
of It when the end of the round saved him
from a knockout, Hall at this juncture put
ting in a tremendous amount of work.
In the fourth round Pritchard left his cor
nef looking very much flushed and evidently
in distress. In direct contrast to him Hall
took the middle of the ring full Of fight and
confidence.
PritchaTd. however, was first at work, and
he encouraged his supporters by twice de-
liverng his left on Halls mouth. The Aus
tralian only smiled, and from the way he
weaved in it was seen that he was only bid
ing his time to land on his opponent.
Prtehard was still strong on his legs, and
nobody thought the end was so near.
The Knockout Glow.
A busy rally followed, then breaking away
Hall cot close in. Timing his effort he shot
his right across on Pritchard's cheek. The
blow was little too high, but it knocked
the Londoner to the boards, where he lay
just seven seconds. Then he was up again
and made plu cky effort 10 keep the Aus
tralian away. Hall, however, weaved in,
hooking his left in Pritchards chin and
smashing his right on the point. The effect
was instantaneous. Prtchard fell 10 the
floor on his back. Here he lay for second
or two, and then rolling over he remained
motionless until 10 seconds was called out
one by one by the timekeeper
When they elapsed Hall was declared the
winner Mitchell then hoisted Halt shoul-
der high, Halt receiving the congratulations
Of his friends. while Pritchard, who broke
down altog ether, had the sympathy OF no
small number of those present. The con-
test lasted 13 minutes and 80 seconds.

TUE COMING FIGHT.
Condition OF Sullivan and Corbett Be for
the Fight.

CONDITION OF sullivan and Corbett BE efore
the Fight.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-John L. Sullivan
has quite recovered from his lameness,
caused by blister on his heel from new
pair Of running shoes, aud sore toe. caused
by his poisoning mosquito bite by scratch
ing it. He is now down to 20S pounds, and
expects to be able TO enter the ring at 2l3
pounds. He is feeling good and confident
of winning an easy victory, for he says he
does not intend to waste his strength
cbasind COrbett around the ring. Ii he
attempts to adopt the Charley Mitchell
sprintng tactics Sullivan is fully pre-
make long fight or a short one. just
as the case may call for, and he will be
governed entirely by the style of fighting
Corbett adopts. If he stands right up and
fights like man Sullivan predicts short
battle. but if he attempts shifty business
all night if necessary.
Corbett In Good Condition.
Corbett is also in prime condition and in
good spirits. He Is as quick as cat, and
looks as though he were able to make the
fight of his life. He does not expect an easy
thing, as he is fully aware he has got to con-
front the greatest man that has ever set
foot in the ring. 6ut as he has already
fought draw with Peter Jackson. the
acknowledged next best man In the pugil-
istie arena, he does not see why he should
have any hesitation in confronting Sullivan
The worst he can possibly get is defeat, in
which case he would be no worse off than
he is at present, as everybody seems to feel
Sullivan is the better man and that there is
no one like Sullivan. Judging from his
achievements, and those of Sullivan. he
feels that his chances of victory are just as
good as Sullivan's. C0rbett claims to weigh
1876 pounds at present. but he Is SO slender
and active that he does not look TO be nearly
so heavy. AS to his mode of fighting he has
nothing 10 say further tnan the night of the
fight would settle the question as TO the
style each man would adopt.

THE BRITISH CABINET.
Selection OF the Minor OmciaIs Hard
Task for Gladstone.

Selection OF the Minor Ohiciais Hard
Task for Gladstone.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-The Tribune's
special from London says: With one or two
immaterial exceptions Gladstone has COM
pleted the formation of his Ministry. Yes
terday the Cabinet Council held its first
meeting reviewed the situation, and mapped
out some preliminary work for the recess.
The task has been one. not perhaps of ex-
cepti0nal difficulty, but involving much
pressure at what in ordinary circumstances
should be leisure time. In private conver-
sation Gladstone observes that the dispo-
sition Of the minor offices cost him much
more time and thought than those Of Cabl-
net rank. Every miunOw regards himself
and is regarded in his domestic circle, as a
whale. and requires provision made for him
accordingly. In one or two Instance the post
offered has been rejected as inadequate 10
tile members dignity. This conclusion has
spread much Joy amid the other circle
standing next In order W here the individuals
get chance not otherwise forthcoming in
this quarter. A cloud to-day is looming.
arising from report that one OF GladstOne's
old colleagues hO had pettishly refused the
ofer OF minor appointment has since
thought better of it and asked per-
mission TO withdraw his refusal The
ROsebory scare in due course reached
its inevitable conclusion. There is no
uouOL ABOUT IOseDeTY's physical iudis-
position. He has been suffering from in
somnia for many weeks. He tried TO break
the spell by yachting trip, but WAS only
partially successful. If he had consulted
his own Feelings aud personal comfort he
would undoubtedly have stood aside. What
settled his wagering mind and induced him
to submit to Gladstone's representations
was the Outcry gotten up In Tory quarters,
when il leaked out that he had rot at once
accepted the Foreign Secretsryship. 1t was
loudly said that RosebeTy, having discov-
cred that Gladstone WAS bent on the i'm
mediate evacuation of Egypt, recognized the
impossibiliiy of working with him, aud So
pleaded ill-bealth as an excuse for standing
aside. Rosebery thought the best and most
conclusive answer to this fable would be TO
accept the office, which he forthwith did.
The general composition of the new Minis
try meets with approval on the Liberal side.

come from such a quarter, is little carped
