Wyoming division OF the Lenigh Valley

of coal and freightisbetng
moved from Coxton, Port Bowkley aud
Sugar Notch with great rapidity to the
markets. Old men applied for their po-
sitions this morning by the score, and
Superintendent Esser and his assist
snts are as busy today as thev were a
day or TWO after the strike had been iu-
augurated. This division employed 712
men before the strikers went out. About
$50 new men were engaged since the
strike. of which number about 200 de-
serted, leaving 300 now on the division.
There will therefore be places for about
412 out of the 712 men Immediately.
Inspectors nave been placed on the aivi-
sion to examine these new men with
reference TO their competency. aud if not
up in all the rules and competentin every
way, they will be discharged and the
old men will take their places.
It is expected that in month
95 per cent. of the old men. or about SIS
out of the 712. will be back under this
order of things. Meantime the men un>
employed will be taken care of by the
Brotherhood until they have their po-
sitions back.

Senator Jones Talks Of the Eject of the
Repeal Of the sherman Law.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Senator Jones
of Nevada, who has spent the greater
part of the time since the adjournment
of the extra session in New York, has
returned to Washington. He says his
observation of financial affairs confirms
him in the opinion expressed by himself
and other silver advocates prior to the
passage of the bill repeating the silver
purchasing act, there would be no ma
terial revival Of business because OF that
action by congress. He finds that some
men, who have been boarding
their money since the panic be-
gan, are showing disposition to let it
out for gilt-edged securities, feeling that
it is better to have small income from
capital than to keep it lying idle, but
that the disposition is against taking
risks, and in consequence there is little
doing looking to the extension of the
industrial interests Of this country. This
he attributes to the small volume of the
currency; to the fact that persons with
money win not make investments when
prices are falling. Senator Jones says
that he does not expect to zee any legis.
latiom which viii materially benefit sil.
yer during the present administration.
