BUFFALO. N. V, Nov. a2.-The
strike situation this morning is abso-
lntely unchanged from that of
yesterday, except that the freight
blockade grows worse and the
passenger service, which hitherto
has not been interfercd with is likely
to be seriously interrupted, the strik-

except the mails. The company Off.

men to run their trains. but that law

tempting to send them out. The men
on the other hand claim that
the company is unable to get compe-
tent men and is afraid to send out
trains with green hands. There is no
sign of weakening on their side and

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2e.--It is thought
the state department will not take any
official notice of Minister Thnrston's
statement in contradiction of the state
ment of Commissioner Blount. The
course of the department. towards

city ignoring him in diplo-
matte capacity MIR. Thurston asserts
that 40 copy of l5lount's report had
been officially transmitted to him. This
was also trne of Secretary Greshams

there of q flour mill, has been secured,
contracts signed and work on the

the mill will be seventy-fve barrels of

375 bushels of wheat every

to store wheat arc also in

THE ONLY REM EDY.


Secretary Carlisle In his recent interview
with the New York bankers said without
qualification that the repea. of the silver
purchase act Of 1880 was necessary to the
creation of . sound national policy Of
finance. 6ecretary Carlisle sees. of course,
that the sale Of bonds for gold would do
no permanent good unless it were accom-
panied by repeal Of the act Of July, 1880,
under which our paper currency is in
creased at the rate of nearly $50. OO0, 900
per annum. AS fast as We buy silver
bullion and issue paper against it, our
gold would go. leaving us only the paper.
The New York Sun points out that:
We should then. TO replace the gold. have to
sell more bonds. and thus We should go on in
fating our paper currency indefinitely, and
maintaining gold payments, II We maintained
them at ell, only by the most strenuous efforts
What adds TO the difficulty is the fact that the
bonds Issued would be used by our national
banks a basis of circulation, aud thus TO the
raper money poured out under the act of July
ls9o. would ne added tho contributions OF the
hanks
Without the repeal of the silver purchase
act, TO issue bonds for gold would only be
issuing bonds in order to buy silver bull
lion. This creation of an addition to our
war debt would, says the New York Eren-
ing Post. put the question sQuarely before
the people: How large an increase of the
bonded debt are you willing to sanction in
order to crafty the owners of silver mines
and to pile up a mountain of unused and
useless metsl7" An issue of 500. 000, 600
of bonds might be necessary in order to
