CHICAGO, March ga strike of the
switchmen and switch tenders of the Mich
igan Central road is threatened, and if not
promptly settled there is strong possibil-
ity of its leading to complications upon
other roads. On Friday the employees of
the Michigan Central formulated demand
for an increase of wages with an intimation
that an answer would be looked for Mon
day. Ii the demands are not granted the
men say they will strike and the maiority
OF enalneers and firemen say they will
stand By them. large majority of the
men are non union men and their affairs
arc i'll the hands of committee. 1t was
learned to-day that a secret meeting of
switchmen WAS held here some time ago. at
which every road entering Chicago was rep
resented. 1t was determined to address all
demands for increase of wages and redress
of grievances to the general managers by
noon Of March 8. On every road COM
plants were sent in and the committee will
begin to arbitrate with tha general mana
gers by Tuesday. and the outcome of the
meeting will determine the question of
strikes.
Division Superintendent Snyder, of the
Michigan Central, said tonight the de-
mands of the men would not be granted
and If they struck new men would be put in
their places.

THE CONGO TROUBLES.

| Arrival of the Expeditions at Stanley
Pool With BAD Reports.
| New York, March 5.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Stanley Pool, dated Feb. G.
says; The Delcommune and Bia expeditions
arrived here to-day. They report that
Lieut.. Hackanson and Capt. Bia are dead
and 400 soldiers and porters have perished.
jacques is still alive at Tanganyika. Leip-
ems and Bown were massacred at Kasonpo
State. The expedition leaves Stanley falls
for the south to make war against the
Arabs. All the members of the expedition
are in good health. The history of the
troubles in the Congo Free State is as fol-
lows: Arthur Hodister. in the service of
the katanga Commercial Syndioate was
establishing stations on the Lomami
falls. for the purpose of buying ivory
and trading with the natives. The
jealous Arab merchants at Nyangwe
suddenly fell upon several of the stations
that Hodister had founded. killed the
white men in charge and seized the trade

Congo, after an overland journey from the

events that had occurred they were killed
and beheaded by she Arabs. This was the
first blow struck by the Arab slave aud

announced that slave raiding must stop. It
showed that the Arabs were determined to
fight in defence of their alleged right to
rnld for slaves and to monopOlize the
trade of the upper Congo.
The Free State decided that il must se-
vorely punish the Arabs if it expected to be
supreme in the eastern part of its dominion.
Lieut. DhaniH was commissioned to punish
the Arabs. As fast us possible. therefore, a
large force wos got together, and large
supply OF munitions WAS sent TO the Congo
A considerable forco of Abyssipian soldiers
were secured to supplement the native
force.
Tippu Tbs son. who was in command at
Stanley Falls during the absence OF his
father at Zanzibar, and his nephew, Rachid,
who was chief of the Arabs at the mouth of
the Lomami river, agreed tc help the Free
State punish the insurgents Of Nynngwe and
kasongo. They promised to supply large
auxiliary force. At last accounts, how
ever both of these Arab leaders showed
signs of disRtection, and il was feared that
they would join the insurgents. Recent
dispatches show thnt the fears of the Congo
Free state came true. 1t cannot be told by
the dispatch whether the fight was with the
entire insurgent foroe or whether, having
the Arabs of Stanlev Falls tho
state has now to deal with those of Nyanp-
We and Kasongo.
The news, however, is very gratifying |
though it has involved the death Of some
Europeans we'll known for their work on |
the Congo. A few such decisive battles |
will solve the Arab question In the Congo |
basin.

The Town Of Sandgate, England,
Shaken as If by u Big
Earthquake.
HOUSES Arc Wrecked and Large
Rents Appear In the
Ground.
1t Is Caused by the Sea Eating Under
the ClIH on Which tho Place
II Built.

LONDON. March 5.--Late last night the
people of Sandgate, Kent. were aroused by
the rocking Of houses and loud rumblings
underground. Walls were split, ceilings
tumbled. foundations sank and roofs fell.
AZ the inhabitants fed to the streets they
found large rents in ths ground and were
almost overcome by no1ious vapors. Ev-
erybody supposed the town was being
shaken by an earthquake, and as the rumb-
ling continued. hundreds fed in panic to
the nearest towns. A few remained behind
to remove the furniture from the falling
houses. The reports carried abroad by the
fuRitives caused ths troops in the adjacent
camp to hasten to aid the people still in
Sandgnte. Tho soldiers and citizens worked
for two hours in moving most of the valua-
Bile property from the houses and erecting
tents in tho fields about mile
outside town for the women and children.
At the end of that time the rumblings had
ceased and an investigation was made in
the town by the commander of the troops
and several citizens. They found that the
ground on which SandQate stands had sunk
several feet and the subsistence had extend.
ed throughout the surrounding district, af-
fecting in all about a square mile. Gas
and water pipes were disturbed 30 that
supplies Of both gas and water we're
stopped. Many cottages were wrecked
completely, and the better built houses
cracked and thrown out of plumb 90 they
could not be occupied with safety. Never
theless many of the inhabitants returned
to town toward morning. Between five
and six o'clock, however, they were fright.
away by a further subsidence of the ground
and recurrence of the rumblings. These
phenomena were repeated several times
during the day and the town is now prac-
tically deserted. As far as is known no
lives were lost.
The disaster was caused by lendslip.
The town is built on a comparatively low
cliff close to the sea. The waves are be-
lieved to have undermined the cliff, which
then settled and slipped toward the water,
carrying with ii the town. Two hundred
houses were destroyed.
