'The complications I'm fh.e switchmen 8
strike Eat Buffalo are constantly in
creasing. The leaders of this strike
have witnessed the movement and mas
sing of troops with growing deter
mination TO meet every advance of
their opponents with a counterstroke
Over 5000 troops in the state service
are now upon the field to watch and
control about 500 strikers. The pres
ence of so large number of soldiers
is relied upon by the rail-
way officials as cover under
which they may put TO work non-union
men already engaged TO break the
freight blockade. What the counter
stroke of the strike leaders may be TO
this situation is problematic, but it is
not beyond the range of near POSSIBLE
ties that the firemen and the trainmen
on all the lines where strikes now pre-
vail may be called out
The Last addition of strength to the
striking switchmen was 90 men in the
Nickel Plate yards who struck against
handling boycotted freight. So it is
now that the switchmen upon the en-
tire Vanderbilt system in this vicinity
are out.
Besides the Vanderbilt lines the Erie,
the Lehigh valley and Buffalo creek
roads are paralyzed. Then there are
three or four other roads which may
be tied up at any moment and the en-
tire traffic may be suspended.
There can be no doubt but that be-
fore yielding this fight the leaders will
extend their strike west even To
Chicago and eastward to NewsYork,
only switchmen, but firemen and train
men. 1t is well to remember in weigh
ing the claims and statements of the
strikers, this movement, unlike that of
two years ago upon the Central, bears
the stamp of official regularity. 1t has
been handled and directed with
deliberation, and the strikers say that,
if deemed necessary within the next
few days, the movement will be eX-
tended from New York to Chicago.
The night crews of the Lake shore
refused to handle freight from the New
York Central yards and rather than do
so put their engines in the round
houses. The day men were notified
and they also refused to work.
With the troops on guard the switch
men who are TO fiji the strikers places
have been able to move several trains
of freight and the roads strained every
nerve to make the demonstration as
large as possible. The strikers looked
on in silence, but their resources for
strengthening their force are so great
that they are confident of victory
ultimately.

UNCLE SAM RETALIATES.
Canadian Vessels Must Pay Tolls at th'

President Harrison has issued proc
lamation imposing retaliatory tolls on
Canadian vessels passing through
American canals. The proclamation is
under the act of Congress approved
July &c, 1892, which is an act to enforce
reciprocal trade relations between the
United States and Canada. After quot
ing the above act the proclamation
concludes:
Whereas, The Government OF the Domin-
Ion OF Canada imposes IA toll amounting TO
about 20 cents per ton on all freight pass
ing through the Welland canal in transit TO
port of the United States and also fur
ther toll on all vessels OF the United States,
and on all passengers in transit
TO a port of the United states, all
OF which tolls are without rebate; and
Whereas. The Government OF the Domin-
Ion OF Canada, in accordance with an
order in council OF April :, 1892, refunds
Is cents per ton OF tho % cents toll az

ally shipped for and carried 10 Montreal or

that, II transhipped ut an intermediate
point such transhipment is MADE within

such or any other rebate on said products
When shlpped 10 port or The United states
or when carried to Montreal for export il

Whereas, The Government OF the Domin-
ion OF Canada by said system OF rebate and
otherwise dlscriminatcs against the citi-

nected with the navigation of the great

MICHIGAN REPORT.
Agricultural Department Report on the
Condition of Crops.

Agricultural Department. REPORT on the
Condition of Crops.
The department of agricultural at
Washington has issued a current crop
report which contains the following:
Michigan. The condition of the corn
crop remains practically the same as
on July /. In localities where rains
have been frequent, it has improved.
In the southeastern part of the state il
is now very dry, and the crop is be-
ginning TO suffer. Now is the critical
time, but the corn is well set for ears
and within a short time ii will make a
fair crop. Oats have improved some
what and are being harvested in good
condition. The condition of potatoes
have improved, but rain is now very
much needed, particularly upon those
planted late. With the advent of the
dry weather, growers were able TO deal
more effectual with the beetle, and
now are having no trouble from that
source. The hay crop, timothy and
clover, is secured, and in much better
condition than was hoped for at the
time of the last report, when rainy
weather made it impossible to get a
load of well cured hay TO the barn.
Pastures, while not poor, are now need
ing rain. Apples continue TO drops and
the prospect for crop is lessening day
by day. The condition of the peach
crop remains about the same. Grapes
are nearly an average.
