Kleetrlc Li^ht and Gas Works Shot Down and the City in Darkness—Militia in Readiness to Prevent Any Attempt to Resort to Violence. New Orleans, NOV. 7.—The strike situation assumed a serious aspect dnr iHg the day. The following unions are now on ittike: Rice workers, painters, horseshoe s. erpenters. coal wheelers, grain sU -ilus, printers, clothing clevLs, ti. ., i': t.nI lumber yard men, teuu-iuv t-.tiontry Hicujeu, rnusi •ians, cj:. uun.n, steam iip scrapers, factory girls, paprr hangers, scalesmeu, car driver ', u.'k- rs raid confectioners, retail shoe clerks, mail clerks and newspaper carii ?rs and freight handlers. There was no communication between the emp-oyers and the striking employes during tiie day. The men are beginning to resort to \i.^knce in the outlying dis txiciS and special officers will be ap pointed. Governor Foster was in con sultation with his aides all day and the Btate military holds itself in readiness to answer the call to arms. The water works and electric light men as well as the gas workers went on strike. The water works men were ordered back to guard against fire. The others, how ever, stay oat. The city had on a holiday appearance everywhere except among the merchants against whom the strikes are aimed and they will carry on their business until prevented by violence. They say that a number of union men are willing to re turn but they did not propose to make targets of the unions until they were eady for a vigorous defense and so de clined to take them back for the present. The strike also failed to affect the news papers to the extent expected ana the only paper which has so far failed to appear is The Item, which is the official organ of the strikers. The center cf activity was the city hall where the mayor and his advisors spent the day. During the morning a proclamation was issued calling upon till persons to preserve the peace and warning them that disorder and vio lence will be at once suppressed and the guilty punished. During the afternoon President Leverth, of the Sugar and Sice exchange, called and asked that protection be furnished those interests. Nearly 8,000 barrels of sugar and mo lasses besides other products and mer chandise lay cn the levee, he said, at the mercy of the public tumult. The board of trade also urged the mayor to do his best to bring about the resump tion of street car travel and the contin uance of the supply of gas, electricity and water in order to provide for the protection cf life and property and for the convenience of citizens. The mayor promised to do all he could to maintain order. The electric light and gas com panies called on the mayor and said they thought they could furnish light if they were afforded protection, which was readily promised. ENGLAND'S GREATEST STRIKE.

HOMESTEAD, Pa., Nov. .—The prom ised break in the ranks of the strikers has failed to materialize. But four men returned to work and possibly three bthers wiif comprise the extent of the disaffection. The men who returned were John Schultz, general master me chanic of the works previous to the fetrike Charles Atwood, a roller and two roughers. The meeting of Satur day last hau a stimulating effect upon jthe men and the waning courage of the weak-kneed has been brought to the /sticking point. From present indica tions the strike will be prolonged indefi nitely, as there is less appearance of weakening today than at any time dur ing the present struggle that now enters •upon its fifth month.

Sixteen Case* of the Scourge Within till City Limits. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 7.—Seattle has sixteen oases of smallpox in the city limits. The prospects are that more cases will be reported. The true faots have not been given to the public and the result is that the unsuspecting peo ple are liable to contract and spread the disease. One lodging house, on the principal business street, with thirty in mates, has been quarantined. An extra number of physicians were hired Friday by the health board, which is empowered by the mayor to spend all required sums to overcome the disease. The People's party started a report here that the quarantine had been put on by Republicans to prevent them vot ing, but this is not true. The health board will at once erect a separate house. The situation is alarming. Say Tacoma Has It, Too. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov b.—Tacoma, as well as this city, has small-pox. One case developed Saturday, another Sun day morning and a third Sunday night. A rigid quarantine has been established, and all bedding used in the lodging houses and infected with tho disease have been burned. The situation in Se attle is not encouragirg. VERY UNSATISFACTORY. General Miles Talks About the Condition of Cheyennes and Arnpahoas. KANSAS CITY, NOV. 8.—General Nel son A. Miles, accompanied by his family and Captains Milcher and Maus of his personal staff, has arrived in Kansas City from the Indian Territory, where General Miles has spent the last three weeks investigating tho condition of the Indians. General Miles said: After the most careful investigation I consider the condition of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes such as to demand the intervention of the United States authorities in order to prevent an out break that looks almost like a certainty. These two nations sold their lands and took their allotments early last summer. Following close on. this the. government reduced the rations of these Indians to one-fourth of tho original amount. They cannot profitably cultivate the lands they have selected. They have expended for food the money they re ceived from the sale of their lands. I believe that before the winter is ended the Cheyennes and Arapahoes will be in need of food and then an outbreak be more than probable. will WORLD'S FAIR RATES. Little Likelihood There Will Be Any Ma terial Kodnctioc, ST. PAUL, NOV. 8.—A circular has been sent from Chicago addressed to the passenger department of every railroad in the United States, Canada and Mex ico, requesting that a representative be sent to a mass meeting of railroad men to be held in the Auditorium hotel on the 21st inst., to determine on a basis cf rates for the world's fair and on methods of handling traffic. From what can be gathered fro n various expressions of opinion there appears to be a strong dis inclination to accord much, if any, re duction in the regular schedule of rates. The railroads claim that in any event they will have all the traffic they can handle at the tariff rates, and fail to see why they should make any reduction. From present appearances it seem3 that the utmost concession will be a reduction to one fare and a third on certain trains, while all passengers on trains running sleepers will be compelled to pay full tariff rate. The meeting of the 21st inst. will probably decide what the rul ingrate shall be. A Chance for Students. CHICAGO.
