Paris. October I5.--At last the strikes

workmen still remain obdurate. All sorts
of vague rumors were flying about yes.
terday.
About eight or nine radical papers an
nounced sort of mysterious outbreak for
today From vague hints Paris was on the
eve OF coup d'etat. General Chano's
absence from Paris at Chalons was to give
the signal for a rising on the part Of the
army and SO on ad libitum. Well today
has come and we'll nigh gone and nothing
could have been dullor. There has not
been tie ghost of rising. The only sol
diers seen have been these protecting the
workmen, and even that duty Is only a
perfunctory one now that the railway strike
has proved such a fasco.
In spite Of a reply unfavorable to the oes-
sation OF work made by the local sections
Of the railway employees organizations. the
central authorities decided to call out the
men. These latter sensibly refused to come
out, as only about 10000 employees at the
very most, out OF close upon 400, 600, could
| be counted on, and as only very small
percentage of this 10000 showed any will

This is an epltome OF the effect created
In the Paris railway stations BY the po,n'
