81. Louis. July 1s.-There was no
change noticeable In the strike situ-
alton in ST. Louis and East st. Louis
packing plants yesterday. The engi-
neers and firemen were the onS men
employed about the houses to-day.
Michael Donnclly. International
president. arrived from Chicago
and spent much OF the day in
conference in East st. Louis with
strike leaders. He addressed a mass
meeting OF strikers in East ST. Louis
city hall. Several thousand men wero
unable to gain admittance. PreIident
Donnelly received an ovation He
said;
I'VE shall never again enter into
arbitration unless every man, woman
and child who has been discharged or
who Is out on strike has been re-
turned to their former positions with
out prejudice. Cattle buyers and 9TH
er men who have been with the pack
ing houses for years have given up
their jobs rather than I'LL the posi-
lions OF the strikers. and we would be
ingrates If we accepted any plan or ac-
quicsce in any movement which would
not result in the immediate re-employ-
ment OF these men who had been faith
full TO US.
'1he strike Is only In It's infancy.
1t will be the most gigantic in the
history OF the country since the coal
strike. The meat strike affects every
working man. II enters into the per-
sonal life Of every home. for meat Is
an absolute necessity.
No riot shall take place In Chicago
or any other center. and the union of

avoid It. There were no riots as re-
ported In Chicago and South St Paul;
merely brawls between our own men.

by the packing houses say to us. we
are Of your command

stated that, according TO information
which he had received from John
Joyce. International secretary Of the
union, the packers killed between 500
and 1000 cattle during last week. as
compared with $4,000 to 10000 head
during the same period one year ago.
In three months time" said Presi-
dent Donnelly, IF the strike should
happen to last that long. the packers
cannot get skilled men sufficient to
kill over Ave per cent. OF the regular
run Of cattle.
SHOULD a sympathetic strike be
called, II will include the union men in
every division of employment OF the
packing houses. This will include the
firemen. engineers. electrical workers.

ers. steam filters. drivers and railroad

Russia Awaits Criticism.

St Petersburg, July 1s.-The news
that the Russian volunteer steamers
ISmolensk and st. Petersburg. now
cruising in the Red Sea. are stopping
ships of neutral nations and searching
them for contraband of war. is caus-
ing the liveliest interest in all circles.
Russia has evidently weighed the
question, believes herself to be within
her rights, and neither fears nor an
ticipates international trouble. Indeed.
some of the powers may have been
sounded by Russia on the subject. New
ertheless foreign opinion is awaited ca
gerly and more or less criticism is ex-
pected.
Members of the diplomatic corps are
keenly anxious to ascertain the views
their governments will take of the
passage through the Dardanelles Of
these vessels of the volunteer fleet as
merchantmen and their subsequent
conversion into ships of war. The gen
eral view in diplomatic circles. even
where sentiment is not particularly
friendly to Russia, is that. while the
passage of the Dardanelles might be
considered piece OF sharp practice
on the part Of Russia, It is an accom-
plished fact, and the powers will not
now regard 1t as a violation of the
treaty of Paris. but will guard against
its repetition.

The Uses Of Palm Trees.

Tho various kinds of palm trees On
the island of Ceylon are in themselves
of great interest. and when their differ
ent uses are explained a person can we'll
appreciate how essential they are to the
natives in the low country Singalese
districts. From the sap of the cocoa
nut palm the spirit he drinks is dis
titled; the kernel OF the nut is neces-
saty element in his daily curry; the
milk" is the beverage offered to every
visitor to his domain; his only lamp is
fed from the oil; his nets for fishing are
manufactured from its fibre. as is also
the rope which keeps his goat or COW
from going astray; while the rafters of
his bouse, the thatch of the roof and
the window blinds are made f1om its
leaf and wood. There is, perhaps, no
product in the world that is put to so
many and such profitable uses as the
cocoanut palm, for, even before it is
grown, its leaf ribs are tied together
to make brooms for sweeping and cages
for birds.

THE CITY OF MEXICO.
Rapid Growth and General ProGress
Of the Metropolis Of the SOUTH
western Republic.

This is city with an immense future.
You can safely enter this remark in your
notebook. You can refer to 1t ten years
hence, and underscore it approvingly.
BY that time all the troglodytes and
pessimists will have been buried in the
expanding cemeteries or be dwelling.

Modern Mexico.
Twenty year ago--cobblestones, peo-
pie living over shops and Offices, not one
fine display Of merchandise of the luxu-
rious sort anywhere to be seen, plate
glass windows unknown, and ladies
shopping from their carriages, the as
sistants bringing out the goods for in
spection; people all huddled inside the
"hull of the city" for fear of robbers and
what might happen in 1.-The next revolu-
ton" Sad-visaged men Of prominence
standing in their zaguan doors, predict
ing terrible times" and asserting that
they were going back to Europe"
They did not go back; they all stayed
here and accumulated wealth; the next
revolution" was always nipped in the
bud by great statesman who was never
slow to stop the plotters, and who by
diversifying employments made it easy
for every Industrious man to win his
bread.
The old city grows and grows; new
streets, a keen demand for electric light
ing, sewers and water; the municipal
administrators hardly able to keep
abreast of the calls upon them. Smooth
asphalted streets with swift automo-
biles gliding over them; charming and
elegant homes furnished with every
thing that modern luxury can furnish:
great shops existing to supply the de-
mands of taste and wealth; the middle
class rising into power and influence:
nowhere any sign Of halt or retrogres-
sion.
AS the capital Of country which is
all alive with new activities, with wealth
fast accommodating in the interior, this
city is bound to keep pace with it all;
hither come. already, rich men from all
over the republic to establish their new
homes; here they find their Paris"
Here are clubs, the theater, splendid
shops, the luxuries they crave. Hence
this capital grows like young giant.
The City of Mexico is on its way to
vastly greater population, to splendor
and an elegance of which we now catch
prophetic glimpses. Lucky is the young
man who is growing up with it, who
has a stake in its real estate, who is to be-
one of the substantial citizens here in
the year, say. 1890.
