BlRcklisted Railway Men Unable to OBJ

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 20-As re-
suit of their connection with the re-
cent strike large number of the
railroad men in this city are making
arrangements to leave this country,
claiming they have been placed
on the blacklist of all the rail
roads and can secure no places,
no matter whether there are vacancies
or not About forty of these men
have made preliminary arrangements
to go to the Cape of Good Hope and
johannesburg, South Africa, and
Others are talking quite seriously of
going to Brazil Hard times here,
work elsewhere and cheap transporta-
tion influence them, although they
claim that the principle cause is that
they are marked men and have no
chance whatever of employment
in this country. The men are given a
notice by each road for which they
worked stating that they have SO
worked. but in the notices now given
many of them occurs the phrase: Left
the service on account of the strike,
June 30, 1884," The men have no other
form of recommendation and say that
this is simply warning to other COM
panies not to employ them.

THE PRESIDENTS PLAN.
A Rumor Regarding His Intention as tn
the Tariff Measure.

CHICAGO, Aug. 81. = The Herald's
Washington special says: President
Cleveland will not sign the tariff
bill. He will permit it to become a
law without his signature. Informa-
the treasury department Monday.
Mr.. Cleveland will probably be back
in Washington Thursday. 1t is ex-
planned that he does not feel that he
can sign the tariff bill without stulti-
flying himself. However, he will per-
nit it to become law. 1t was trans
mitted to him Friday, August II, and
it reached the white house at Ills
o'clock in the afternoon. Secretary
Carlisle said that if the president did
not sign the measure it would be con-
strued as going into effect at 1:15 p. IN.
Monday, August 27.
1t is also said that the president is
preparing a statement, which will be
given to the public, in regard to the
tariff bill. 1t will set forth the rea
sons for the presidents refusal tC
sign the measure He will point
out his objections to the bill
in his usual vigorous style, and il
is expected that he will severely criti
else the authors of the measure anG
those responsible for forcing it upor
the country. 1t is expected that he
will remind his party and the coun
try that there is still much tC
accomplish for the cause of tariff
reform, and that while the new Law
may be regarded as slight step in tn,
right direction, even though it is filled
with errors, inequalities and, possibly
few iniquities, those interested il
the accomplishment of real tariff re
form must continue their efforts will

DEATH IN The RIVER.
Catastrophe in Russia Which Resulted In

Catastrophe in Russia Which Resulted in
the Loss of Six Lives.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 20'-A dis
patch from Rybinsta, an important
commercial center on the right bank
of the Volga river, states that ter
rible storm passed over that city and
the neighborhood Friday last. The
damage done to property was
immense. The steamer Uspisltu, plying
on the rivers SheXna and the Volga,
was caught by the storm on the former
stream. There were 100 passengers on
the vessel, and they were thrown into
a panic by the tremendous force of
the wind, the furious downpour of
rain, and almost impenetrable dark
ness. The captain, knowing his YES
sci was in great danger, headed it for
the beach, his intention being to run
it ashore. Before this could be done.
however, the vessel sprung leak and
began to founder. AS it foundered the
decks were blown up by the
air in the hold. Everybody on
board was thrown into the water.
there not having been time to lower
the boats. Despite the fury of the
storm passing vessels which had heard
the signals of distress stopped and
managed to rescue everybody except
the captain and five other persons.
Nothing was seen of these six after
the steamer foundered and it is be-
lieved they were drowned.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

An exchange reports that grease
weed which is invading the country
from the north is likely to prove al
most as damaging as the Russian
thistle.
If the grain shocks are allowed to
stand very long in the fields which
were sowed 70 clover last spring they
are liable to kill the plants they cover
and thus create bare spots in the fields.
a FLOWING match is announced as one
of the features of the Iowa state fair
this year. This method will be adopted
for determining the relative merits OF
the implements placed upon exhibition.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 1s.-According
to the last oriental news by the steam
er Empress, of Japan, the third battle
in the war between Japan and China

RIVER ANp HAReoR BILL.
II Becomes Law without the Presidcnt's
Signature.

Slgnnture'
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The'river and
harbor bill, carrying S11, 40, $50, bo-
came law at midnight Saturday night
without President Cleveland's sigma
ture, the legal limit of ten days hav-
ing expired within which he could
sign or veto it. 1t is the third time
since Mr.. Cleveland's two terms that a
river and harbor bill has become law
without his approval, the only other
bill of this kind submitted to him hav-
ing been vetoed. Fears were expressed
up to late hour Saturday that
the present bill would be vetoed,
as Mr.. Cleveland made it known
to the river and harbor managers
several months ago that he did not want
the total of the bill to exceed 100000
900. This led to pairing down the ap-
propriations on most of the river and
harbor projects about four-fifths from
the estimates, so that the total of
50, ,5SS,6s9 allowed by the house was
about one-fifth of what the army en-
gineer asked to prosecute the work
In the senate the bill was raised to
S12, 700. $50. This led to an animated
struggle in conference, the house men
contending that the bill would be
vetoed unless it was much reduced.
The conferrees finally reduced
it to LAS, 1870, and thus it was
agreed in both houses and so went to
the president. Aside from the amount
carried by the bill the sundry civil
appropriation bill also carries SO, 400.
| 900 for river and harbor contracts,
making a total for this class of work
of $40, 1873, $50. This is about $4,000, OOC
less than the amount given for river
and harbor work for the first session
of the last congress. An important
feature of the new bill is that it au
| thoriZes no new contracts.

MIL Hands Are Out.

New BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 2l.-The
cotton operatives began their general
strike, and nearly 1000 are idle. The
machinery of but five of the twenty
seven mills in the city is in motion,
and it is thought that these
mills will soon be shut down with
the Others. The manufacturers have
nothing to say, but the notices of a re-
duction against which the help rebel
are still posted. Secretary Ross. of the
Spinners' union, stated that the nem-
bers OF his union had lined up for q
long struggle, and confidently expect
ed that Il would be of six months'
duration.

BADLY WHIPPED.
Chinese Defeated with Loss OF 1000
Men at Song Hwan.

LONDON, Aug. 21.-Dispatches from
Shichi-Gen, Corea, confirm the reports
of the engagement between Japanese
and Chinese troops at Song Hwan and
the victory of the former.
About 1000 Chinese were killed in
the engagement and seventy Japan
ese. The latter showed their supe-
riority over the former in every detail
of the battle. They were more cour-
ageous, and showed greater knowl-
edge of the art of war.
The Chinese, with their usual cow
ardice, deserted many of the Fan Kwai
foreign devil officers), and when given
orders to resist the advance of the enc
my turned and fell upon their swords,
preferring to commit suicide rather
than be murdered by the Japanese
The japanese officers and men fought
like tigers,
Some of the methods of warfare used
were ridiculously grewsome and har-
rowing. For instance, the Chinese, it
is told, used old fashioned stinkpots
(bowls slung on poles and filed with
suiphuric and other bad smelling, dead
ly acids, which kill perhaps more
quickly than rifie-shot). One
stinkpot cast in among a dozen sol
diers kills every man inside of a few
seconds. The Mongols also resorted
to wooden axes and to long bamboo
poles. Many of them threw their guns
away deliberately when they caught
glimpse of the enemy surrounding
them like u demon-cloud. These
are merely instances of extraordinary
things that happened. 1t is impos
sible to accurately describe the
barbarities which these people prac
tice in their methods of war and also
in their penal punishment in times OF
| peace.
One hundred and sixty thousand mer
have been mobilized by Japan and the
reserves have been called upon fol
service in Corea. Sickness prevails il

Grasshoppers Are Thick.

HoRNELLsvILLE, N. Y, Aug. 21.-
Farmers of Steuben county are much
alarmed over the appearance of grass
hoppers in large swarms. Owing to the
extreme dry weather their numbers
are increasing rapidly, and in many
places, especially the western part of
the county, they are attacking all
kinds of vegetation. Many fields of
buckwheat for a distance of rods
around the outer edge look much as il
they had been reaped for a race
course. The pests seem to be working
