The Big Strike.

A dispatch from Bethlehem, Pa, says
the Lehigh officials have sent out no
tees to all strikers that the places OF
those who do not return to work to-day
will be filled and after that all the old
employees who apply tor work will be
treated as new hands.
~ really have not q word to say
said General Manager Voorhees,, after a
conference with President Wilbur and
other Lehigh Valley officials at Mr..
Wilbur's offices. Yesterday afternoon
President Wilbur made public the fol-
lowing statement: son the eastern di-
vision all passenger trains are moving,
also some local freight, through freight
and coal trains. On the coal branches
everything is running as usual, includ-
ing coal trains. On the northern divi-
sion passenger trains are running with
some delay. No freight trains are NOV
ing"
A dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pa,
says "The strike on the Wyoming d.
vision is assuming serious aspect.
While the officials, in reply to all inqui-
ries, say "all passenger trains are run
ming" the fact remains that although
this may be partially true, it does not
reflect the situation by any means.
Coal and freight traffic is tied up, and
the few passenger trains which are al
lowed to run, on account of the mails,
have to crawl along from point to point
and do not attempt to follow the sche-
dule."
A dispatch from Buffalo, n. Y, says :
1.-THE freight blockade on the Buffalo
section of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
is complete. The promise of the Off.
Gals to move the usual trains yesterday
was not even partially fulfilled. Eighty
four freight trains bound east, thirty
seven bound west are stalled in the
Buffalo yard-121 blocked trains in all.
The yard shanties were filled with
switchmen waiting for work.

A LONG RACE.-The British ships
Glencaird, Andorinha, Wanderer and
Osborne sailed from Philadelphia for
Calcutta in July last on 10000 miles
voyage around the Cape of Good Hope,
| for bag of 5000 gold dollars, contrib
uted by the individual masters OF the
vessels to the craft making the best
run. The run was to be estimated
| from the hour the vessel left Philadel-
phia, as it was impossible for all to
leave at the same time.
Cable advices state that the Glen.
CARD arrived at Calcutta on November
II, winning the prize. The Glencaird
and the Andorinha arrived at their des-
tination on the same day, but the Glen
caird left Philadelphia three days after
her competitor, thus beating her
rival seyenty-two hours. The Wan
derer and Osborne have not yet been
heard from.
The race is the longest on record and
one no sailing craft has ever before at
tempted, owing to the long distance to
be covered and the weather generally
met with on the long and tedious pas
sage necessitated in rounding the south
ern African coast. The danger of weeks
Of calm on the equator made the voyage
especially interesting to shipmasters
and others in both Europe and Ameri-
ca who have spent years of their lives
in studying the meteorological varia-
tons of the weather on the deep.

She is 312 feet long, Al feet beam and

1928 tons. All of these vessels are,
strictly speaking, barks. but are ships
in every respect, excepting that they
are scho0ner:rigged on the jigger mast.
The Andorinha was the favorite vessel,
because she is new craft and thorough
ly modernized in every particular. She
is built almost wholly of iron and steel.

All of the vessels are large cargo car

CHARGES INSTRUMENTATION W..
Hayes, general secretary-treasurer of
the knights of Labor openly withdrew
his charges against Terence V. Powder
". master workman, in the General
Assembly at Philadelphia yesterday.
The General Assembly will to-day, az
ter consideration of the finance COM
mittee's report, declare the office ofsec-
retary and treasurer vacant and vindi-
cate the accused officials. While vim
dication of Messrs. Powderly, Wright
and Devlin. was expected, it was not
thought that Mr.. Hayes would so com
pletely abandon his case. His with
drawal was the result of the finance
committee failing to sustain the charges
and it was primarily brought about by
Delegate Hugh Greenan OF New York.

TIE BATTLE cry of those who won
the fight at the recent election in
Brooklyn was: "Down with bribery
and corruption!' And yet it has been
discovered that the head of their ticket,
who was elected to the responsible po-
sition of fudge, gave no less than thir-
teen thousand dollars to secure his
election. OF course there was no brib-
cry or corruption in that. Why, GER
tainly not! Battle cries are not always
true cries.

The FACTS that no less than seventy
thousand ballots were cast at the re-
cent election in this State against the
democratic party and for such wild
and impracticable party as that of the
populists, and that the democratic vote
was nearly hundred thousand short,
are not conducive to the belief that the
men whose votes secure democratic
success in Virginia are satisfied with
the democratic leaders either in ma
tional or State affairs.

how many were in the house. The be-

IT HAS Just been discovered that one
pension agent alone in Buffalo, New
York, succeeded in obtaining no less
than $4,000 for fraudulent claimants,
and that ex-Commissioner Raum was
cognizant of these frauds. And yet the
democratic administration revoked its
recent order for purging the pension
list, and it is reported that certain dem
ocratic Senators intend to criticize it
for having issued that order.

Now that the hustle and confusion of
the opening days of the Columbian ex-
position are over one may draw a full
breath and view with some degree of
comfort the condition of affairs at the
fair grounds, and without fear of being
unduly crowded an enjoyable ramble
among the wonders of the magic city
may be mdulged in. On theopening day,
owing to the vast number of visitors
and the bad weather, anything like an
extended tour Of the grounds was next
to impossible, but the rush appears to
be over for the present, and the wealth
er is somewhat more propitious, MAX
ing it possible to get about and observe
with better advantage the existing
state of things.
The temporary suspension of activity
made necessary by the inaugural exer-
cises seems to have given the work a
fresh impetus, and at the rate of speed
under which things are now being put
to rights it will not take many days to
get every detail completed. The build
