The slur and cresont are in perihelion.
The former has boon seen by hundreds of
thn' wlso mon of the desert and by its bril

the Mystic Shrlno. The hotels yesterday

"Not'lo" , how's your camel ! " has little
meaning to the profane , but to a Shnnor It
has an eloquent avmbolnm , and until these
Clients of the motropollsof Nobrusica abandon

Last night tbo hundreds of Shrtnen al
ready In the city began a systematic round
of pleasure and for tholr entertainment there
were inounas In limitless numbers , each cara
van being welcomed to tbo tents of the
brethren pitched In the different hotels with
royal coromonv. The water bottles , long
uo'on the backs of the camels , were opened
nnd tbo sojourncrs drank deep of the refresh-
Inc liquid. Then for these who desired
deeper-draughts thcro wore punch bowls
presided over by dusky sons of the desert
and other refreshment worthy the travelers
uho had Journeyed hither from every state
in the union.
. The rooms of the temples represented hero
were crowded with noblco nil day and far
Into the night , nnd there was imislo to bo-
puilo the senses nnd revive memories of
other days. The elephant in Moslem's tent
ot the Mlllard hotel spoke Its dcep-voircd
wolromo to hundreds who came while Dr.
Jiatloy , in the beautiful costume of an Arab
shcilc , distributed the favors of the Detroit
temple , n camel tundo of white metal.

The Mlllnrd seemed last evening lo have
little the best of the crowd , a crcat feature
being the concert of the Third United States
Infantry band , stationed nt Fort Snelllncr ,
Minn. , which accompanies the Minnesota
battalion , ICmghts Templar. Then .tho

added greatly to the enjoyment by rendering
n number of vocal collections , which of

is understood , will head tbo second division

Hon. C. W. Whitehead of Kansas City , a
prominent republican politician nnd depart-
inoutcoinmaudorot the Grand Army of the
Republic , who Is at tno Ebbltt , said today :
'I ' think the republicans wilt elect their state
ticket In Missouri this your beyond a doubt.
Missouri used to ba solidly democratic by
10,000 or thereabouts , but the majority has
boon growing beautifully loss year by year.
The state affairs have boon in the hands
of ono uarly for a long tlmo ,
with the result that the psoplo have begun
to think that everything is not as It should
be nnd to demand a changi ) . The night before -
fore I loft Kansas City a democratic Warner
club was formed with seventy members. No
ono but a democrat was allowed to enlist.
Some of them ore mon who will vole the
democratic national ticket , but see the need
of reform In state affairs. That represents
the feeling throughout the Mate. "
Unduly Incited.
The eastern democratic press has become
very much excited over the announcement
that a commission is to bo appointed to In-
vostleato Chilian claims and is assorting
tluit this IH another attempt to "browbeat
llttlo Chill. " As John W. Foster was coun
sel for Chill in the matter of these claims be
fore his appointment to bo secretary of state ,
this story Is ridiculous on its face. Tha fact
Is that Chili wants these claims examined
and determined. A number of attorneys
hnvo taken up these old claims rocontlv nud
hnvo boon threatening Chill nnd the Chilian
government is anxious to have the whole
matter adjusted aud closed up.
Violators of tlio Counterfeit Law.
Reports have been coming ln-to the Trois-
urv department recently of violations of the
counterfeit law by merchants. The latest
spmplulnt : came from Osirooc ] yesterday.
Ttioso are unintentional violations , but they
nroXiust as amenable to law m though
they were Intentional. Tlio complaint
from Oagood comes through the
district attorney , and involves the keeper of
a saloon , who has been Ibsuing beer chocks
resembling the old .Vcent nickel.
It is not the intention ot the saloon
keeper to impose upon any ono , but
the device becomes dangerous In the hands
of others who mav use it for some bad pur
pose. Periodically tbo department has to
make a raid on tboso violators of the law
against counterfeiting. Orders have boon
issued to hnvo the chock's seized and de
stroyed. It is not likely that any prosecu
tion will follow.
Supurntltlons Chlimmcn.
The Troasurv depirtmoat has received
many protests from prominent Chinamen who
object to the law requiring that every China
man in this country shall 111 o his photograph
with tbo department. Many Chinamen be-
llovo in ti'o old superstition , that it Is un
lucky to have a photograph taken , and that
an enemy who obtains a copy of thu photo-
KRitih can control the actions of tba original
to bis harm.
Summer Itpsort Tor Concri" < siiieii.
The proprietors of the summer resorts
welcome the adjournment of congress as the
forerunner of an increased patrotinco. This
is particularly true ot the seaside resorts ,
which nro not far from Washington. The
adjournment sets free an nrmv of depart
ment people who have been held at iheir
desks until congress should bavo finished its
labon and all "emergency calls" should
have been answered. Then the members of
congress nro among the most active patrons
of the summer hotels dutlng August. Later
they have to go out to their districts to begin
thu work of the campaign. An effort has
been made this summer to create a
peculiarly congressional rcsoit by tbo sea. A
pluco on tlio eastern shore of Maryland
called Ocean City xvas selected and special
Inducements were offered to members ot the
house ur.d senate to put up cottages thoro.
Senator Blackburn xvas the only ono who
succumbed immediately. His. cottage is
about completed. Other members of the
two houses sent tbolr families to tbo hotel
nud took the special train that ran down
every Saturday nieht for their accommoda
tion , leavlne Washington at 4tO : ; and reach
ing the sejsbcro at 9IiO : o'clock. Represent
ative Cobb of Missouri was one of tha hotel
people aud Senator Butler , Representative
Causey of Delaware and Marshal Dan Rans-
dell were among the visitors. To carry out
the congressional idea still further , the hotel
was put in charge of Theodore Pace , who
has run the senate restaurant for many
years. The congressional colony at Ocean
City was not largo this season , but n great
deal is expected of u next year.

I..VKOK IN AUSTRIA.
.Serious I'luisr * of tlin ( tiiosllon thu I'uoplo
Are Mint Intitrrittril In.
WAsiiirnrov , D. C. , Aug. II. [ Special to
Tin : BIE : , ] In arcp.irt to thu Stnto depart
ment Consul General Gtildschmldt writes as
follows from Vienna on labor In Austria :
"Just uow the number of unemployed In
Austria Is great. They are impatiently
waiting for the construction of railways urn )
public worKs connected with the now city
improvements , whereby a number of outlying -
lying suburbs will be connected with the
metropolis. Tha execution of tills feroat
undertaking has already been voted by tbo
municipal cjuncll and the provincial Diet of
Lower Austria , and now only awaits the
decision of tba Rolcusratb. The disappoint
ment of the boat of unemployed laborers
when they heard that the government con-
lomplaicd the adjournment of the project ID
question can be more easily Imagined than
described. Thu reason given is that more
time was necessary for the elaboration of the
details , uud the unemployed will therefore
bare to wait till iicxtautumn ,
"It is estimated that over 00,000 laborers
In this city ( Vienna ) are out of > vork and
many uro clamoring for bread , while the
misery of tha iimll tradespeople Is unusually
great. An incretuo of emigration from-
Austria-Hungary to tbo United States is
therefore to bo leaked for , especially from
thu province of ( Jnllcla , whcro the popula
tion buffers from want of seeding grain oven
and have again applied for government aid ,
and also Irom some parts ot Hungary , where
people are cquallr dependent upon assistance
from the government to save them froui
"Of late tha social democrat ! ) In Vienna ,
In suite of the charity UvUhud on the un
employed worklngmun by the wealthier
classes , htvo become- unruly and Irrlttitad.
Many meetings nro being bold by Ihodlf-
frienl associations. At a incotinir of the
Equality association one of thu spokesmen
claimed that tvtth tbo distribution of n more
loaf of broad the oppressed dimes could not
bo saved. Political rights mu t bo accorded
to them , nnd only then would they bo able
to Improve tholr couOltlon. Their wages
inun ha Increased , the hour * of labor Ul >
mtnUhed , and than there would ue i u mnru
unemployed ; they claimed Justice , aim
only when it should bo meted out
to them would society enter ou a
path more wortuy of cou tder < itlon
then tnal opcued to it by inoiacutary pity.
Anotbcr said that , the iolal democrats In
tended to continue thd struggle ngnlnst class
domination to the tlttbrcud. They domanil
a reform of the pre4 laws. Tbo distribu
tion of broad would o'nly 'still the hunger of
the employed for a few days , but could do no
permanent cood. Something very different
was required , nnd that cotild only bo claimed
when the freedom of'.ho { prots had been ob
tained , s' J
"A great many jnoctlnps nro constantly
dissolved by thn police- , and the annual con
vention ot the social"tfqmccrary , which waste
to takn plnco at Llnz-'jioxt month , has been
prohibited bv the government.
"On the other hnndj the manufacturers of
Austria mot ou thnKHh of April for thopur-
pose of forming n central protcuttvo aisocia-
lion. Fifteen diiloront bra'tchcs of manu
facturers , who hndfeboforo lormod societies
in their respective llnfc.vcro roprosonted.
Strange to sny , thU.Jnectinp of enlightened
citizens declared apartst worklngmen form
ing trade nssochainnsiir trade unions as bs-
ing detrimental to thblr own bcnollt aud beIng -
Ing disastrous to the Cfrood relations hereto
fore existing between employers nnd em
ployes ; they nlso i declared against the
eight-hour law unless tbo question bo regu
lated by an International congress , Ono falls
to soj why the manufacturers should bo
Justified in formifig n mutual pro-
tuctlvu organization" and the1 same
right ot organlzatlpn'tfO denied by them to
their worklngmcn , a right which lias been
conceded them by mqst nations on the con
tinents of Europe aritT America. However ,
they declared in favor of voluntary arbitra
tion in caios of differences between them ,
as against state Interference.
"There are Indications that the labor
question In this ompli'b will become n serious
and important ono ut no distant day , and
agitation will run httfh until the working1
people are ( iranted thffsatuo political rights
as other classes enjoy in paternal Austria
and until the burden of taxation Is more
Justly divided and lowered for the workingmen -
men iu their present deplorable condition. "

BOPPALO. N. Y. . Aug. 14. There Is no fur
ther disguising the fact that the Rtriko ot
the Erlo & Lchlgh Valley switchmen is a
vorious matter. Riot aud incendiarism mark
Its tidal wuvo.
Whether It would have proved so very
serious to the railroads to have 150 or 200
men leave thi-lr posts of duty without
wnrnlnir Is not now the question. Property
belong to the railroad company hns boon
destroyed by incendiary flros , men
engaged iii the peaceful performance of their
duties in the company's service hnvo been
assaulted and sent to the hospitals , the move
ment of trains has been seriously interfered
with nnd the lives of Innocent parsons , who
were in no way conucctcd with the strike
and had not oven hoard of It , have been en
dangered by the derailment of a passenger
train on ono of the roads. Such Is the pro-
dlcamont up to this hour of writing ,
incendiary I''lre llrciik Out.
There bad boon more or loss trouble Satur
day between tbo strikers and their sympa
thizers and the mon who were doing the
strikers' work , and a tew desultory assaults
had occurred. Things began to put on amore
more- serious aspect at i ! o'clock this morn
ing , when a series of Incendiary fires broke
out simultaneously in the Lahigh Valley
yatds. Eighteen or twenty freight cars
tilled with wool , cotton , hay nnd various
other merchandise , two passenger coaches
and two wntcbmen'ii houses were -burned
among the cars of merchandise. The tires
occurred at places whore the firemen could
not successfully stay thu iUtnos on account of
an absence of water , besides tbo difllculty of
access to the tires.
Tha water tank adjacent to the coal
trestles wus smashed and an engine- taking
water there was wrecked by a stiingof ton
runaway ears that had bcou turned loose
from the trestlo.
Whcro tlio Plnmoa Were First .Discovered ,
Flro was first discovered In the eastbound
yards cast of Dingans street. Hero u little
ofllco building and two or throa freight care
were destroyed. At this tlrao Yurdmastor
Mead discovered flames in tha passenger
coaches and turned lu an alarm.
In tbo yardtf east of Dintrana street tire
raged among the ca of merchandise. It
took the hose from throa carts to reach the
flames. The firemen , however , prevented
the destruction ot a great number of cars
and tha loss ot perhaps hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of properly. The cais
destroyed were in the midst of a great num
ber of other car * . Tbo flromon uncoupled a
number of cars and removed them from dan
cer. A dozen or so of cars were thrown from
the Lchigh trucks nnd a similar number from
the Erie by misplaced switches.
The tirst Intimation of anything wrong
was when tbo coal cars were sot loose and
demolished the wator'fank. Thou the Urea
broke out simultaneously.
Captain WIrtz of tbo Eleventh precinct
out a force of u'dozon ofllcers in tbo yard as
soon as the alarm was given. Tuo oDIcer.- .
were unable to lied any suspicious char-
actors.
That , briefly , Is what happened up to day
light this morning. But that was only the
beginning. The strikers , or their sym
pathizers , have pulled pins , turned switches
and driven olT crovva. Four nu-n nro nt the
hospital badly hurt. Ono was assaulted at U
o'clock this morninir , two others at 11 , and
another at U tills afternoon.
Cowardly Work of Striker * .
One of the most cowardly thlucs done was
the throwing of switches under passcucror
train No. 17 at William street nt 7:30 : this
ovoninc. Two passenger coacho * were de
railed , but nobody wai hurt , though many
were badly frightened.
Fifty men ooirdcd passenger train No. 3
at 11 o'clock this morning , driving the em
ployes off. The crow finally succeeded in
getting the train to the station. Tha mob
took possession of the Soncco street switches
three or four times during the day and drove
off the signal men.
lu the Lohlgh yards at Cboektownga to
night the scones of lubt night wora repeated.
It is plainly intimated by the Erlo ofllciulb
that workmen from tbo east have been en
gaged to take the places of the strikers.
Three stalwart policemen were stationed In
the hallway loading to tba superintendent's
ofllco today.
Tha strikers say tboy are determined to
win the light and assort that the roads nro
losing heavily by not having ram to perform
iho work of the strikers. They say tbo Erie
is demoralized by tbo strike and that every
side track on the Duffalo division Is com
pletely blocked.
All thu I'ollcu Itoictrven on Duly ,
Two trains of freight cars on sidings in
Ohccktownga , tuo railroad suburb of Buffalo ,
wora burned tonight. The Lohigh Valley
has called ou the sheriff for protection and
ho sent six deputies to the scone. Ho will
swear lu llfty moro tomorrow morning. Tha
police have yards In seven out of eleven pro
ducts tn the city to guard and nil reserves
are called out.
The man arrested today for assault hat
been charged with noting. At 1 o'clock lira
