INDIANAPOLIS, July 27.-During the early
part Of the afternoon there was an unusual
hum and stir among the leaders and abette rs
of the strike, many Of the men who were out
becoming dissatisfied with the way in which
the committees were conducting the strike,
and the dissensions grew loud. When 1t was
noted that large reinforcement Of troops
had arrived ia the outskirts and were march
ing to the arsenal, and that all hope of forci-
BILE resistance to the resumption of trains
must be abandoned the committees
Immediately determined to make over
lures for securing the best terms of set
tlement possible with the roads that
have maintained that there should be no
compromise, and also to permit a full re-
sumption OF traffic on others. The Vandalia
line, which it was heretofore understood had
refused to hold any conference with their
striking employees, finally consented to have
an interview with some of them this after
noon, at which the superintendent stated it
was out Of their power to alter the schedule
of wages, but they would communicate wi th
the superior authorities and meet the COM
mittee again tomorrow morning to further
the adjustment of the present difficulties. 1t
is quite likely that all trains, both freight
and passenger, will be resumed on Monday
morning.


The blockade has had a very depressing ef-
feet upon all classes of business here. The
Woodburn- -Sarnon wheel works have shut
down, being unable to get stock out, thus
throwing out 200 men.


The wholesale merchants are idla> and
nearly every manufacturing establishment in
the city is running on light supplies of coal.
and will be compelled to cease operations
soon unless they can get supply. The roll
ing mills have shut down on this account,
and the grain and cattle trade is interrupted.


The Touring mills can not get supplies of
grain, and have declined to receive further
cooperage for the present.


Tonight the city is quiet and large extra
police patrol Is on duty, whilst at the arsenal
one thousand citizens are under arms and
over four hundred United States troops, un-
der command of Gen. Henry A. Morrow, a
prudent and determined officer, are ready to
suppress any disorder. All trouble is felt to
have passed, and with the resumption of traf-
fie on the roads. Indianapolis will be restored
to harmony and good feeling.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-In some official

where the air can invigorate, and we shall
have to crowd on to the ice fields if we
wish to be scientifically braced. No, there
is no bracing here; but there is a delicious

THE fact that the remonetization of silver
is a dishonest proceeding has no effect upon


its advocates; the fact that it will be unproft-
able is more likely to command their atten-
tion and arrest their steps. There are now
outstanding five and six per cent. bonds, on
which the annual interest is nearly ninety
million dollars. If we adhere to the gold
standard these bonds can easily be refunded
in four per cents, thus saving twenty mil
lions of dollars annually. But if silver is
remonetized the opportunity to make this
immense annual saving is lost. Not only
this: but our loss of credit by repudiation will
be so great that we shall have to pay greater
interest on money we borrow than
we ever have paid, and to offer ample secu-
rity than any we have offered or than any

FROM the latest and most reliable ac-

the Russian army under the Grand
Duke Michael, operating in Armenia,
has been beaten again by Mukhtar Pasha
and has suffered another loss of from
1000 to G,OOO men in killed and wound
ed. The terrible management of the
Russian forces surely gives color to the
London Times statement that the Turks
are under strict orders not to fire on a
Russian officer lest he should be killed,
and better man be appointed in his
place. 1t is not strange that a strong
feeling is growing up in Russia against

THE news from the Mexican frontier
scarcely admits of doubt but that a war
with Mexico Will result from the pro
ceedings on the Rio Grande. The
United States soldiers have for the third
time this year raided the Mexican bor-
der in pursuit of marauders and their
booty The last raid made by Lieut..
Bulls and Col. Shafter was made on the
2sth ult. and the only thing that pre-
vented collisio: with the Mexican
soldiers was the fact that the United
States forces were about three times the
number of the Mexicans. This will
not always be. An opportunity will
soon occur when collision will take
place between the troops of the two
governments and war will surely follow.
The government of the United States
should use extraordinary care not to
permit war to be brought upon the
country for the benefit of spectators
who are eager to fatten upon army con.
tracts. A war, even with Mexico, is a
thing which no true friend of the gov
ernment should court or desire. /

A Chinese woman was discovered this
morning in the old jail in Lower China
town in dying condition. Her dis
covery was owing to the fact that she
had been cooped up there to be
starved to death, but owing to her
wonderful tenacity of life she had out
lived the time set for her deatl, and
bredthes a virtual living corpse She
lies on a pile of filthy rags, half nude,
her body emaciated to a mere skeleton,
mouth open, surrounded by the pallor
of death. But for her occasional breath
ing she would be considered as dead.
She has been sick for two years, living
upon charity, " nobody owning her." as
a Chineesewoman remarked to report
er. She became burdensome and was
chucked in the old jail to die. A more
sickening sight than she presents can
not veil I e imagined, and illustrates the
inhuman treatment the majority of the
Chinese mete out to their own people.
