ITS SERIOUS ENOUGH.

Bot tho strikers at Livingston are Con-
duetIng N Exemplary Campaign.
Specia Dispatch to ths standard.
LIVINGSTON, Mont, July l.-Now that
the greatest strike In tho history OF tho
United States Is fairly on, tho seriousness
of tho situation is beginning to odawn upon
the minds of the people. At first tho
novelty Of the thing and tho excitement
inscperably connected with such n
gigantic and concerted movement of rail.
way employees was all absorbing and not u
great deal OF thought was given to tho
future; but rs the strike assumes greater
proportions all classes of people are be-
ginning to consider tho disastrous effects
that must inevitably result TO all kinds Of
business, II the strike should continue any
considerable length of time.
Tho situation is indeed grave ono hero
and calls for much serious thought. Tho
strike 10 no longer subject for light and
fiippant remarks. Here in Livingston
which IL essentially railroad town, tho
effects Of the strike are already being felt.
Business Of all kinds is depressed. and tho
merchants report that their sales havo
fallen of one-third within tho past five
days.
Tho number OF strikers residing in this
city 10 between 3)J and ADO. and with SO
many idle men walking tho streets,
II 10 natural to suppose that con-
siderable disorder would reign. To tho
credit Of the strikers. b 0 II said, however
that they are conducting themselves in
tho most orderly and law-abiding manner.
Not single case of drunkenness has been
reported since the men went out. No
moro quiet or peaceably inclined body Of,
men can be found anywhere. The strikers
10 not even frequent saloons, aud intoxi-
eating hove ages arc not indulged in by
tho men . all. This is in accordance
with instructions given at the outset Of
tho strike by the local A. II. u. organiza.

TELEGRAPH CODES.
The Limited Number of Words That Can
BE Used in Them.

The Limited Number of Words That Can
BE Used in Them.
The compiler of eally reliable and
comprehensive code is met at the out
set of his undertaking by difficulty
that, so far, has defied all attempts at
solution beyond a certain point. De-
spite the fact that the rules of the
cable companies permit him to lay I'M
der contribution eight languages, the
total number of words that can be used
with safety for coding purposes is only
about one hundred and fifty thousand.
The reasons for this are two-fold-
First, the companies decline to permit
the use of any code word of more than
ten letters, and il is danger nus To en-
piOy those having less than seven, ow-
ing 10 the difficulty of detecting an
error in short words. Further, thou
sands, nay, hundreds of thousands of
words are rejected because of the SINH
larity of the telegraphic symbols that
make up the letter
Figures are rarely telegraphed. The
possibility of noting an error in a
group of arbitrary figures is very re-
note. Should a letter or two he
''jumbled" in a code word. there are
various ways of correcting the mistake
the sense. the context, and referee. &c
to the code; but these guides do not ap-
ply to the case OF figures. The only
remedy for suspected error is repeti-
ton of the message at an enhanced
cost of fifty per cent Numbers, there
fore, are expressed by a code word.
Errors in the transmission of amounts
Of money are very rare. A banker S
code contains words for every possible
sum of money, from halfpenny up to
hundreds of thousands of pounds; and
the authors have exhibited great in
genuity in making a limited supply OF
words do very extensive service

the trade does not favor the official

reported to cotton, but few expect less than

against ll5 $50 August /, and the unsold stocks
also decreased IS 3s4 tons during the month.
Less activity is seen in dry goods the rush
OF postponed business having abated, and there
is more disposition TO defer purchases be-
cause of somewhat general advant es in cotton
goods and because London wool sales are ex-
peeted TO make The outlook clearer. Strikes In
cotton mills have not ceased and stocks OF
print cloths shrink rapidly, but some question
whether recent advances in price can be main
tanned with important additions to the present
force.

SLAIN BY COREANS.
Confirmation of a Rumored Revolt Against
the .Daps.


SHASGIIAI, Sept 17.-lf the reports
received here from Corea are to be be-
lieved there would seem to be no
doubt that the Japanese forces operat-
ing against the Chinese are kelly to
be hemmed in. Dispatches received
here from Fusan bring additional con-
firmations &C the reports that the
whole of southern Corea has risen
against the japanese.
1t also seems to be confirmed that
the Japanese force of 1000 men, who
attempted to march from Fusan to
Seoul, have met with disaster serious
enough to compel them to return to
the former place with 1900 of their
number missing. From this it is
judged that serious fighting must have
taken place, and il is not believed that
the 1000 missing soldiers will reach
Fusan.
A force of 1000 fresh troops has ar
rived at Fusan in order to protect the
japanese settlement at that place
against an anticipated attack upon the
part of the armed bands of Toghaks
gathering ih the neighborhood
The city of Lung Kin, province of
Se-Chuen. has been visited by a con-
fiagration which has destroyed 1000
buildings. Over 100 persons lost their
lives in various ways as the result of
the fire. Among the dead is the wife
of the governor of Shun Kin, who
died from fright The governors house
was burned and several temples de-
stroyed. The loss is estimated at 1O,-

OIL TANK ExpLopEs.
Many Persons Injured by Had Rail-
road Disaster.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Sept 1s.-A
freight train on the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha, which left Eau
Claire at - o'clock Friday night, was
ditched miles west of Hammond early
Saturday morning. The train com
prised two oil cars. One oil tank took
fire and exploded at the time OF
the accident. A car of coal
and the caboose also burned. The
track was blockaded and the limited
passenger for Chicago leaving here
ri a. m. was run to Minneapolis by
way of Spooner. The worst incident
Of the wreck occurred at l0:45 a. N.
while the passenger train from Mime
apolis was waiting west of the scene
of the accident. The whole train load
of pa ssengers were passing around the
wreck to take a train on the other side,
when the other oil tank in the wreck
exploded. The fragments of the tank
whizzed through the air like bomb
shells and a shower of bu rning oil fell
upon the affrighted people.
No one had supposed that there was
any danger that the tank would blow
up, as the oil had been burning for
some time. The tank contained about
5000 gallons of oil. Messrs Dickey
and Rudiger and an elderly man,
whose name could not be learned,
were the most seriously injured. Mr..
Rudiger's clothes were all burned from
his body. The hands of several of the
injured were so badly burned that the
flesh peeled off

A PERILOUS TRIP.
Voyage of Passenger Steamer Between
Walls of Fire.


MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Sept. 17.-Kirby
Barnum, who owns a farm near the
western border of the great Red Lake
Indian reservation, in the northern
part of the state, has just re-
turned from a perilous trip down
the Thief river, which skirts that
reservation on the west. The trip
was made in small passenger
steamer that plies between the Indian
agency and Thief River Falls, dis
lance of 100 miles. Fully half of the
trip was made between walls of fire.
Mr.. Barnum says that the flames have
jumped the Thief river and cut a swath
through the dense forest fully 60 miles
wide. The whole country is aflame,
but owing To the fact that communica-
ton is slow little has been heard from
it farther south.
The steamer was forced to go and 4
miles at time, and then everybody
would get out and stand in the water
on the sandbar unt1 the fire and heat
had abated some what. Several times
