Coal Creek was also captured, but by this time the whole State was aroused. On the following day Tennessee troops, under the command of General Carne3, reached Coal Creek, took possession of the village and relieved the beleaguered soldiers at Fort Anderson. Prior to the arrival of General Carnes the miner-: ambushed a detachment which went over the mountains under command of Ma. jor Carpenter within a quarter of a mile of Fort An lerson, killed three of the soldier3 and forced the rest to retreat. .jinor/ riarnM with 1200 man and a six inch ami a Gatlinj: gun, reached Coal Creek about 9 o'clock a. m.

Wn?n the train stopped the men poured out of the coaches and formed in a line, through which their dead comrades were carried in military style. The company forme I with arms reversed and marched behind the bodies to the Court House.

All "Railroad Prnnartv Closelv Guarded by the Soldiers, On the sixth day the officers of the railroads involved in the switchmen's strike at Buffalo claimed victory. Trains were moving from the great yards at East Buffalo, with a sDldier on the platforms of each car. By daylight fully four thousand more soldiers were in camp, and by evening onehalf as many more, Bringing the total number of militia up to over eight thousand. The regiments which arrived ftt Buffalo during the day included six from New York City and two from Brooklyn. Charles O'Hara, of Oswego, a private of the Forty-eighth Separate Company, while on duty in tue Central yards. East Buffalo, during the morning was struck by an engine and instantly killed. This made the second militiaman who lost his life by accident during the strike. The Centra1, Lehigh Valley, and Erie tracks for live miles from the stations ware closely guarded by the military. Soldiers with fixed bayonets patroled up and down the tracks in small detachments, stood on guard by the switches, or were carried up and down the tracks on open cars provided with benches. Strict orders to stop all pei? sons not having business along the tracks were given out to th9 sentries, and were rapidly carried out, Nn s.innpr (lid a civilian leave the road to go up or down the tracks than he found a bayonet presented at his breast and heard the challenge: "Who goes there?" It he gave a satisfactory reply he was passed by the corporal of the guard, otherwise he was peremptorily turned back. After 10 o'clock at night no i er.-son was allowed through the lines except at certain places near the headquarters at William street. The two companies of the Seventy-fourth Regiment, under the command of Major Hardy, were on guard at the Lehigh Valley coal trestle, four miles out from the city limits, and were keeping a picket line about the trestle continuously, the men working in relief, two hours on and four hours off duty. Two strikers were arrested during the morning for breaking a train on the Central tracks near the bridge. The train was just pulling out, wnen it broke in two near the engine. Two men were seen to jump Irom the train where it broke and run for the grass, fhey were caught and arrested by policemen wao were near by. On the L - | high tracks two men were arrested ior threatening the working switchmen. They told the "scabs," as tney called the non union men, that they would be killed unless I they stopped work. When arrested the men said that they had cooae from Philadelphia to work as switchmen, but ha 1 decile 1 not to on looking over the situation. They wer<? locked up. Shots Fired by Soldiers. The first shot since the beginning of thb strike was fired at eight o'clock p M. of the seventh day. The peacefulness that bad been a characteristic of the day wai oroken by another riotous demonstration out at the Erie yards. Two men entered the trestle rrmvA riant* Rail v nvomiA East Buffalo, and began pelting a crew of yardmen who were engaged in making up a train. None of the railroad men were hit, but they gave the alarm to a guard of soldiers, who ran toward the trestle on double time. They were met with a volley of stones and promptly returned it with a volley of bul lets. The men on the trestle ran and two more volleys were flred after thetu, but the bullets whistled wide of the mark and the stone throwers disappeared in the darkness. The shots alarmed the pickets all along the line, however, nnd in a few minute3 a company of soldiers were in hot pursuit. A member of the Twenty-second Regiment of New York City was seriously stabbed. The soldier was assaulted by tares men on Tifft Farm, where the regiment was stationed. He received three serious cuts iu the left arm, the wounds being deeo. The soldier was sent into Buffalo and taken to New Yo/k. Grand Master Switchmen Sweeney, leader of the strikers, stated, in an interview, that in all 475 men were out on strike, divided atnone the roads as follows: New York, Lake Erie and Western, 88; Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, 62; New York, Chicago and St. Louis, 47; New York Central and Hudson River, 128; West Shore, 41; Lehigh Valley, 84, Buffalo CreeK, 22; Buffalo Mnn.nninn mflnV S. During the riay two ot the strikers were arrested for assaulting men at work on the railrca is and locke l up. The Chief of Police also ordered the arrest of all persons making any disturbance, and, as a result of the order, more than 300 persons were taken to the police stations of Buffalo in patrol wagons during the evening. It was claimed by the railroad officials that as far as the switchmen were concerned, the strike was at an end, as during the day freight trains were moved with almost accustomed regularity. Master Workman Sweeney in the evening andre>*eri to officials of tied-up roads a formal letter reciting the history of the demands of the switchmen for ten hours' work at previous rates, for overtime and for the right of appeal of dis? charged or suspended switchmen to higher authority. He then proposed arbitration of the differences between the roads and the men by three persons, one each to be chosen by either side and the third by these two. The Lake Shore's response to Mr. Sweeney's letter contradicted many of his statements with regard to cue company sac* tiou towards its men, and closed without a definite statement as to what course will be taken by the company. Railroad People Moving Freight. During the next two days the railroad people succeeded in getting many men to take the placas of the striking switchman, and claimed that they were able to proceed, to run trains and forward freight on schedule time. A Buffalo dispatch sent on tbe ninth day of the trouble gave this picture of the condition of affairs: "Two men have been shot and no less than twenty more have been stabbed with baronets in this city sines three o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the shooting and tha stabbing are still going on. There is not now, nor has there been, any organized riot. These cases are isolated ones. They took place in parts of the city widely separate I from each other. Tbe trouole that ma'ie them necessary serves well to show the Individual lawlessness oi the strikers and of their friends. It illustrates the nr*ce=si:y of the presence or the troops to protect tne lives and the property of the peaceful an i lawabiding citizens of the city. If the troops were withdrawn to-morrow there is hardly a doubt that this individual lawlessness would become orzanizjd lawlessness, and would, perhaps, result in a condition of affairs similar to that which existed in Homestead before the arrival of the Pennsylvania National Guard.7' litn ral Porter during an inspection of the various camps was surprised to see every moving freight train coverei with soldiers. He had a talk with the colonels and commanders of the various camps and told them that the men should not be given that sort of work except in cases of absolute necessity. Most of the officers agreed with kirn that it was not soldiers' work, but that unier certain circum stances it was necessary to have the trains guarded when they were sent out through dangerous points. The General said he did not want to withdraw protection where it was actually needed, and finally left the matter to tne iliscretiou ot the c.unu wuimau .ci Soldiers Vermis Police. On the afternoon of the tenth day of the strike the Buffalo police arrested a member of the National Guard and held him for t ^o hours for shooting a striker who had attempted to wreck a train. The facts as gathered are these: Two switchmen who responded to the advertisement published by tba Philadelphia and Reading Road were John McGuckin, of Philadelphia, and Charles Gable, of Titusville. Both were non-union men. Lieutenant Aston and Sergeant Conrow. with six men, attempted to take a train over the Lohigh Valley Road to the coal docks. When they reached Gausen street, near the Delaware and Hudson trestles, a band of guerrillas appeared on the.sc^jsa.. One .of them eauglit'Gable and struck him under the ear, knocking him down. The rest of the band jumped on him while he lay prostrate. His companion dodged the crowa and escaped. Aston's guards, who saw th9 assault, opened fire. One of the strikers, Thomas Manaher, a switchman, was hit twice, once in the arm and again in the abdomen. He dropped to the ground and his friends escaped. The troops are certain two more of the strikers were hit. W hat was left of the mob ran toward the roundhouse, where five were captured. When the troops took their prisoners to town the police, on the supposition that the I troops haa b?en instrumental in provoking a riot, proceeded to hold Sergeant Conrow ttio rshnrca of att'iinot to kill. General The Strike Declared Off. The switchmen's strike is over. It was officially declared off at a meeting of t*>e Executive Committee of the Switchmen's Association in session at Master Switchman Sweeney's room in the Genesee Hotel, Buffalo. The immediate cause of the surrender, which is unconditional c was the decision arrived at in the conference of the chiefs of the various organizations of railroad employes?conductors, firemen and brakemen?not to take part in the strike. On tho dflc that the strike was declared Doyle was immediately informed of the situation. He sent word to the police that unless the soldier was released the entire Twenty-second Regiment would b9 s?nt to 1 his aid, and that if they were not sufficient I the entire command would be turned out. Conway was thereupon allowed to rejoin his command. When General Porter heard of the condition of affairs he approved Doyle's course and declared the Colonel of the regiment should never have permitted Conrow to have gone with Manaher as a witness. Gable's condition at midnight was reported by the hospital authorities to be very I dangerous. Manaher, it was expected, would die. Allen S. Robinson, an Erie Railway brakeman, was during tne aay torowa on | the top of a freight car by strikers. He was badly cut and was injured internally. His assailants escaped. The only change in the situation was the strike of the Delaware, Lackawana and Western switchmen, 15J5inall, who went out in the afternoon because they were requested to handle some freight cars * that carae over from the New York Central tracks, and the strike of the Rochester and Pittsburg men. who quit work four hours later. These ware pureiy "sympathetic" manceavras, the mea having no grievance. The companies were paying them the price which the Switcnuiens Union demanded (27 ceat3 an hour). over Governor Flower]issued a proclamation, beginning as follows. "In view of the continued attempts at destruction of property and malicious interference with the runuing of railroad trains, in certain sections of the State, I deem it my duty to direct the attention of the people of the'State to the provisions of the Penal Code relating to such offenses as amended by the Legislature during the present year." After quoting from the Penal Code the penalties prescribed for committing injuries to railroad tracks, etc., the proclamation ends in this wise: "I warn all persons engaged in the viola* tion of the above law to desist therefrom, and I call upon all sheriffs, magistrates, dis Snct attorneys aau ui<uur uvu auirjuiiim and upon allgood citizens to aid in the enforcement of said law and in the punishment of all criminals who are guilty of its violation. "I hereby offer a reward of 8100 to be paid upon the arrest and conviction of each person who shall during the next thirty days violate any of the provisions of the said sections of the Penal Code relating to steam railroads. The failure or omission of any sheriff, district attorney or other civil officer to tike the most active steps in his dower to enforce said provisions' of the Penal Code will be considered sufficient cause for removal."

The President's Proclamation Against Canadian Tolls. Free Navigation of St, Marv's Falls Canal Suspended, The State Department, by authority of President Harrison, made public the important action taken by the President unI der the Canadian retaliation act of last session in partially suspending by proclamation the free navigation of the St. Mary's Falls Canal and imposing a toll of twenty cents a ton upon all freight passing through that canal from Canadian ports. The President's proclamation, though constructively executed in Washington City, was signed by him at Loon Latce, N. Y., and forwarded to Washington for promulgation. This action has been taken on account of the discriminations made by the Canadian Government against American commerce. The proclamation recites that by an act of Congress approved July 26, 1S92, it is provided that "on and after the first day of Auzust, eighteen hundred and ninety-two, whenever and so often as the President shall be satisfied that the passage through any canai or iocs connected witn the navigation of the St. Lawrence Rivart the great lakes, or the waterways connecting the same, of any vessels of the United States, or of cargoes or passengers in transit to jmyporc of the United States is prohibited or is made difficult or burdensome by the imposition of tolls or otherwise, which, in view of the free passage through the St. Mary's Foils Canal now permitted to vessels of all Nations, he shall deem to be reciprocally unjust and unreasonable, he shall have the power, and it shall be his duty, to suspend, by proclamation to that effect, for sucn time and to such extent (including absolute prohibition), as he shall deem just, the righcof free passage through the St. Mary's Falls Canal, so far as it relates to ves sals owned by *faa subjects of the Government so discriminating against the citizens, ports, or vessels o? the United States, or to any cargoes, portions of cargoes, or passengers in transit to the port3 of the Government making sucii discrimination, whether carried in vessels of the United State* or of other Nation?." 1 The proclamation recites further provision of the act of Congress, and continues: "Whereas, The Government of the Dominion of Canada imposes a toll amounting to about twenty cents per ton on all freight passing through the Welland, and also a further toll on all vessels of the United States and on all passengers in transit to a port of tne Unite l States, all of which tolls are wituout reoate, ana "Whereas, The Government of the Dominion of Cahada, in accordance with an order in council of April 4, 1392, refunds eighteen cants per ton, of tae twsntyoent toil at the VVelland Canal, on wheat, Indian corn, peas, barley, rye, oats, flax-seed and buckwheat, upon condition that they are originally shipped for and carried to Montreal or some port east of Montreal for export, and that, if transhipped at an intermediate point, such transshipment is made within the Dominion of Canada, but allows no such nor any other rebate on said products when shipped to a part of the United States, or when carried to Montreal for export if transhipped within the United States, and "Whereas, The Government of the Dominion of Canada by said system of rebate acd otherwise discriminates against the citizens of the United States in the use of said Welland Canal in violation of theprovisiona of article 27 of the treaty of Washington concluded May S, 1871; and "Whereas, said Weilani Canal is connected with the navigation of the Great Lakes, and I am satisfied tbat the passage through it of cargoes in transit to ports of the United States is made difficult and burdensome by said discriminating system of rebate ana otherwise, and ia reciprocally unjust and unreasonable^ "Now, therefore, I, iJenjamm Harrison, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power to that end conferred upon me by said act of Conjjress, approved July 2d, 1892, do hereby direcfi that from ana after September 1, 1892, until further notice, a toll of twenty cents per ton be levied, collected and paid on all freight of whatever kind or description passing through the St. Mary's Falls Canal in transit to any port of the Dominion of Canada whetaer carried in vessels of the United States or of other Nations; and to that extent I do herefoy suspend irom and after said date the right of freo passage througn said St. Mary's Palls Canal of any and all cargoes or portions of cargoes in transit to Canadian ports." A batch of correspodence accompanied the proclamation. It shows that Canada tvas willing to aoolisti we renate ou tons ai the end of Che present season, but that this was not satisfactory to the United states Government. The csojreiary oC State, however, informed Mr. Herbert, charge of the British Legation, that should tae Canadian Govfrntnant give notice of its decision to abolish the discriminations now complained of, the proclamation would be suspended concurrently with sucb abolition.

CHOLERA'S HARVEST. The Dread Disease Appears in European Ports. Precautions Against Its Entrance Into This Country. Asiatic cholera is now admittedly present in three of the great Northern European ports?Hamburg, Antwerp, and Havr?~ and considerable alarm exists in all the leading cities. A Hamburg dispatch says: "Cholera has broken out in all parts of the city and Its suburbs, although the outbreak is worse in tha harbor quarter. Today 340 persons were attacked, and 190cases proved fatal. Several of the worst infected streets hava bean closed by the police. Professor Koch declares that he has round several truo cases ot Asiatic cholera. fwenty-3aven cases were reported in Alton* to-day. The thermometer registered ninetyseven in the shade. Ud to this evening these have been 210 undisputed cases of Asiatic cholera in this city; seventy of them have been fatal. There have been, moreover, about *-J0U ca3es which are said to have been cholerine, but are believed to have been of the genuine Asiatic type. About sixty-five of thesa have been fatal. Xh9 hospitals and morgues in -the city are filled, as most of the cholera cases are a*non^ the poor, who are unable to give the patients the proper treatment. The ambulances are in constant use. On account of the extreme heat and drought the Elbe is exceptionally low, and consequently me water has been polluted by sewers to an unu>uat extent." An Antwerp (Belgium) dispatch says: "Since noonyesterlayifive'^rsons who were suffering from cholera and were admitted to the hospital died in a few hours after tbeir admission. The Sanitary Board has ordered a most rigorous ins pectirtn of all VflQaoU prrixrincr fmm Worn burg, the Riine ports and irora France. The doctors were loath to admit that the disease was Asiatic cholera, but they were finally compelled to acknowledge that the scourge or the East had appeared here. The announcement that the fatal ' scourge has appeared here has caused a feel ing of apprehension, and many of the wealthier residents are making preparations to leave the city " On the same da; that the aboye dispatcher were received a cablegram from Paris stated there had been recorded during the day forty-six cases of cholera and thirteen deaths in Havre. An official report from St. Petersburg on the subject of cholera siys .that the mortalitv exoeeds 2503 daily. Nearly every garrison in Russia has been attacked by the pestil- > ence.

The rites include tbe washing of the bodies, and this the Mollahs positively decline to perform when death has been caused by cholera. The drivers of the donkeys that carry the mail have deserted the service, and communication is everywhere suspended, except where the telesraph reaches. Precautions in This Country. , The United States Treasury Deoartmeat has issued a circular requiring all rags imported from abroad to be disinfected. The < circular calls attention to the cholera epidemic prevailing in Persia, India and Busna and to its having reaeaed Germany, France and Austria, and dwells upon the danger which arises through the imports- ' tdon of rags from cbolora-infected districts and of the difficulty, through their reshicment at various ports, of actually determining the localities in which rags are actually gathere 1. It is ordered that on and after September 20, 1892, entry be refused to rags from foreign ports un less they are accompanied by a certiocate from the consular officer at the port of ship* ment to the effect that they bare been dis- ' infected. It is also ordered that entry be absolutely denied to rags gathered in or shipped from any port or place when, cholera is knowu to prevail in epidemic form on and after the date of the circular, except such as were then afloat, which must be disinfected on arrival Seoretary Poster, of the Treasury D?- i partment, has telegraphed the agents of the North German Lloyi and Hamburg*American Steamship Conaoanie* to have all their vessels from Hamburg and firemen, bound for Baltimore, stop at Cape Charles Station, Va., tor inspection. The Quarantine Commissioners at New York are also taking every precaution to prevent the introduction of the disease into t 'lis country. All ships coming from infected ports will be detained at Quarantine, in New York harbor, and a thorough examination will be made by the Health Officers before they will be allowed to proceed to the city. If there should be the least symptom of the disease among the passengers, the suspects will be remove! to Hoffman Island, where they will be kept under surveillance. Dr. Jenkins, the Health Officer of the Porl of New York, believes that tne disease cannot get a foothold in that port. Be said that besides the preventive measures adopt ed at New York the steamship companies' officers in the infected ports would exerdsi every precaution.

Ferdinand W. Pecir, Ciairman of the Commit- * tee, has submitted tli3 report of the Board ' of Directors. Directors are of the opinion that no more than $4,000,000 worth of the bonds will have to be sold, p3rnap3 not any. Bat provision for their sale will be made in order to coaxply with technical conditions of the Act of Congress granting the $3,500,003 appropriation .

The Government Won't Retaliate, and Will Pay the Canal Charge*. It has been decide 1 that the Canadian Government will reim jurs9 shippers for this season for any loss they may sustain through the imposition )! tolls oa freight going to a Canadian port through tba St. Mary's Canal. A meeting of the Canadian Cabinet has been held to diacuM the outlook and the probable effect of President Harmon's proclamation on Canadian lake shipping. A member of the Cabinet stated that no attempt at retaliation would be ma ie in the direction of imposing discriminatory tolls on American vessels passing through the Welland Canal, as had been suggeatad by some of the Government papers. It was further decided to carry to the notice of the British Government the absurdity of continuing the Washington treaty in force, in view of the fact that it has been denuded of every clause by which any special privileges were conceded to Canadian citizens, and urge the abrogation of the treaty at the earliest possible moment. The advertising for the Columbian imposition is Deing morougmy uuuo by means of a bureau which distributes items to the press of the country. This is good business enterprise.
