A meeting of the citizens, of uowm-
bus, Ohio, took a serious-view of the
situation. Fite hundred of th a men-
rolled as special police. The munici
pal authorities have garrisoned the
points likely to be molested.
The Missouri Pacific road has restor

probable;-' i -.tt t
There was a very turbulent meeting
at Omaha, Nebraska. After the meets
ing, roughs paraded the town, hooting,
but there was no violence.
The mayor of St. Louis has ordered
the saloons closed. The strikers en
forced order. Food for stock is allowed
to pass. Many industries are paraliz-:
ed for want of fuel. Overtures for an
omnibus compromise of all roads cen
tering in East St. Louis failed. The
strikers are orderly, but express a de
termination to fight it out. A number
of strikers were commissioned a spe

mines, at Andf ied,: Pa., have struck.
There is n6 violence. .The shop hands
and machinists at Scranton, Pa., have
been compelled to quit work.
J The Grand Army ol the Republic at
Philadelphia have taken measures to
organize for the : suppression of the
strike. There are seventeen posts in
that city. Their services have been
accepted by Mayor Stokley who has al
so increased the police force to fifteen
hundred. ; ?
-, Baltimore, July 21 The trains from
Baltimore are running to Washington
and West on the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, and all trains on the Balti
more & Potomac-: and Northern Central-roads.'
The Northern Central
road receives no freight. The mail
andpassenger train over the Erie pass
ed Hornellsville, N. Y., safely to-day.
: The strike made no progress in New
Jersey to-day, and New York State is
as tranquil as could be expected. 'En
ergetic preparations have been adopt
ed in both States which seem to be
supported by the people. The strikers
took possession of the union depot at
Indianapolis. Only postal cars depart.
The Indianapolis, ..dncinfi&ti' & La
fayette, the Indianapolis, Bloom ington
and Western, and the Indianapolis,
Peoria and Chicago roads are not in
the strike, but are prevented frem
working. Gov Williams and Mayor
Chavin, both decline to interfere ex
cept to suppress or prevent Violence.
Only postal cars leave St Louis east
ward. The strikers there say there is
no middle ground in this case. It is
absolute victory or defeat with them,
andthay propose to make the issue
square and clearly defined from now
nrand to effect thisv they will put a
total embargo on freight-and passen
ger traffic. Their organization increasN
es in strength and -peipKlion every
hour; but so long as tnej are not inter
fered with in their purpose to obtain
what they consider fair and just remu
neration for their labor, there will be
no violence or disorder, but if they are
forcibly opposed, there will be trouble
and plenty of it. '
The citizens have obtained control of
Columbus, Ohio, and general industry
is resumed.
At Indianapolis over two hundred
special police have been sworn, many
of whom are strikers themselves, who
thus declare their intention to protect
property.
St Louis, July 24. A report last
night that two companies of United
States troops passed through here is a
mistake. Two hundred and fifty men,
Gen Jeff C Davis' regiment, have been
switched off on a side track at Sedalia,
but whether by the Missouri Pacific,
or by the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
Railroad men, or by outside parties, is
not reported.

by way of Canada, on the New York

mayor and police authorities do not
anticipate anv trouble in this city in

gested that all good citizens keep away

from Shumla accounts of several mi

Turks are beginning to oppose the
Russian advances.
An Adrianople telegram states that
the railway to Philiipopolis is interrupt
ed, and that a Russian corps from Is-
leighiji has reached Kirkkillissa,
where a battle is expected.
Note. Kirkkillissa is thirty miles
east of Adrianople, and a successful
movement in that direction would
place the Russians between Adrianople j
and Constantinople.
The Times' .Vienna correspondent,
who is not only exceptionally well in
formed but careful and not liable to
exaggerate, telegraphs the following :
-The rapidity with which anairs in the
east are developing cannot but produce
a vivid impression upon public opin
ion in Austro-Hungary, and this
impression is reflected in the press of
the two countries. 1'ubiic opinion,
which at first loudly called for inter
vention in favor of Turkey, now de
mands that steps be taken to protect
the interests of Austro-Hungary.
without, however, indicating the limit
of these interests. Count Andrassy
who, up to the present, has preserved
a reserved and expectant attitude, will
have much to do to hold up against
these manifestations ol public opinion
until the moment when events will al
low the Vienna cabinet to employ a
more decided policy.'
