EVENTS OF, A WEEK.


EVENTS OLA WEEK.
The week began with the strike of the railway
%;:shopmen in full force, and with prospects of the sew

BOARD decisions joining in the strike movement.
sDther strikes, however, have been abandoned or de-
Serred, and the prospect of settlement OF the con-
Aroversies of the roads with the maintenance OF way

sThere is no prospect of an immediate settlement OF

Representatives Of the roads say that the cot

put with the government. They have invited the
snen ~tosreturn to work, and have declared that those
who fail to do so will lose their seniority and other
tights which they have earned by continuous serv-
Ice. Generally speaking, the strike seems to have
had,little effect on the movement of trains, but this
condition could not last long if the strike were to
continue, and if men could not be found to replace
sshes .strikets. AS to the return of the strikers to
work the reports are in conflict. Some of the roads
report men returning in considerable numbers, while
President Jewell still declares the strike to be ap-
proximately 100 per cent perfect.
With the meeting of coal miners and operators

The factions which have been contending in the
senate over the tariff bill came TO a test of strength
Pn Friday on the resolution to apply clot1re to the
tariff debate. The Republicans, who voted almost
in favor of the resolution; rounded up IS
sEotes to 35 for the opposition. AS the adoption OF
Ikloture under the rules requires a two-thirds ma
Etority, the resolution was lost. There has been some
|Eaik Of abandoning all other business for the time
being and attempting to amend the rule so as to
make it applicable by a majority vote, but the pres
Int prospect is that this will not be attempted. The
