The Buffiilo Strikers and Troops on Dock. A Buffalo special, dated the 23d hist., says: The union switchmen of the Western New York & Pennsylvania road went out on a strike this afternoon. Forty-five switchmen were employed in the Louisiana, Babcock and Ensile street wards of the road. A week ago wnen the New York Central, Lake Shore, West Shore, Erie and Lehigh \ alley switchmen went out the Western New York & Pennsylvania switchmen asked for the same wages and hours the other men demanded. Superintendent Bell listened to them and rather than have a strike and tie-up of the road granted their dexands. The men were satisfied as long as no attempt was made by the road to have them receive freight from other roads on which a strike existed. To-day the New York Central sent over a long string of freight cars loaded with hard coal. The Western New York and Pennsylvania men refused to handle it. They visited General Superintendent Bell and Division Superintendent C. Dabley and told them briefly and firmly that they would go out if the road insisted upon making them handle freight from roads whoso men were out Bell and Dabley reasoned that they must receive New York Central freight, and asked if the road had not done enough when it granted their demands a week ago. The answer was in the negative. The men then struck and left the yards. It is not probable the road will grant the new demands of its employes, and it is understood to-night their places will be filled by non-union men from the West. To-night the big yares are desertedexcept by the troops. Tne Tenth battalion of Albany, and the Forty-sixth company are on guard. There is an interesting report ineirdulation her.e late to-night, ft is to the effect that firemen held a meeting last night and drew up a set of grievances, which they will put to the railroads, and if they do not get their demands they will strike. Mr. Sargeant will neither Admit nor deny the truth of the report. Canadians Excited About Retaliation. Ottawa (Ont) special: There is intense excitement in official circles over the news received here that President Harrison had imposed the tolls on St Mary’s Falls canal. There were only four ministers ill the city. However, the news soon spread through the leading officers of the Government and there is much loud talk indulged in as was a few days ago. It may be that parliament will be summoned to deal with the matter. The commercial men who heard of the matter speak strongly of the action of the Dominion Government in not removing the rebates on the St Lawrence canals in the first instance and saving the trouble. A Fatal Bolt. Five Keith County, Nebraska, farmers sought shelter from a storm in the- barn '■ of Scott Gastineau, A lightning bolt demolished part of the barn, killing James McHugh and Levi Gastineau and rendering unconscipus the others.

Bad lor Cannoks. The President fans proclaimed retaliation with Canada in accordunco with the authority conferred upon him by the "act to enforce reciprocal relations with Canada,” passed Inst July. The proclamation suspends the free navigation of tho St. Mary’s Falls Canal and imposes a toll of 20 cents a ton upon all freight passing through that canal from Canadian ports. The proclamation of the President is as follows: By the President of the United States of America. A proclamation: Whbbbas, By an act of Congress approved .Inly 26, 1892, entitled "An act to enforce reciprocal commercial relations between the United States and Canada ami for other purposes," It Is provided that, with a view of securing reciprocal advantages for tho citizens, ports, snd vessels of the United States on and after tho first day of Anguat. 1 sin, whenever and so often as the President shall be satisfied that the passage through anv canal or look connected with the navigation of the St. Lawrence river, tho great lakes, or the water-ways connecting the same, of any vessels of the United States or of cargoes or of passengers In transit to any part of the United states Is prohibited, or is made difficnlt or burdensome by the imposition of toils or otherwise, which, In view or the free passage through tho St. Mary’s Falls canal now permitted to vessels of all nations, he shall deem to bo reciprocally unjust and unreasonable, ho shall have the power and it shall be Ids duty to suspend by proclamation to that effect, for such time and to such extent (including absolute prohibition) as he shall deem right, the right of free passage through the St. Mary's Falls canal so far as It relates to the vessels owned by the subjects of tho government so dis criminating against the citlxens. ports, or vessels of the United States or to any cargoes or passengers In transit to the ports of the government making such discrimination, whether carried in vessels of the United States or of other nations. In suoh case and during such suspension tolls shall be levied, collectedt gnd paid as follows, to wit: Upon freight of whatever kind or description, not to exceed $2 per ton; upon passengers, not to exceed $0 each, as shall be from time to time determined by the President. Provided, That no tolls shall bo charged or collected upon freight or passengers carried to and landed at Ogdensburg or any port west of Ogdensburg, and south of a line drawn from the northern boundary of the State of New York, through the St. Lawrence River, the great lakes and their connecting channels to the northern boundary of tho State of Minnesota. Sec. 2. All tolls so charged shall bo collected under suoh regulations os shall bo prescribed by tho Secretary of the Treasury, who may require the master of each vessel to furnish a sworn statement of the amount and kind of cargoes, to tho number of passengers carried, and the destination of the same, and such proof of the actual delivery of such cargo or passenger at some port or place within the limits above named as he shall deem satisfactory, and until such proof is furnished such freight and passengers may be considered to have been landed at some port or place outside of those limits and tho amount of tolls which would havo accrued if they had been so delivered shall constitute a lien, which may be enforced against the vessel in default wherever and whenever found in the Waters of tho United States; and. Whereas, The Government of the Dominion of Canada Imposes a toll amounting to about 20 cents per ton on all freight passin* through the Welland Canal In transit to a port of the United States and also a further toll on all vessels of tho United States and on all passengers on transit to a port of the United States, all of which tolls are without rebate: and. . Whereas, The Government of the Dominion df Canada, In accordance with an order In council of April 4, refunds 18 cents per ton of the 20cent toll at the Welland Canal on wheat. Indian corn, peas, barley, rye, oats, flaxseed and bu<kwheat, upon condition that they are originally shipped for and carried to Montreal or some port east of Montreal for export, and that, if transshipped at Intermediate points, such transshipment is made within the Dominion of Canada, but allows no such nor any other rebate on said products when shipped to a port 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 and othefwlse, discriminates against the citizen! of the United States in the use of said Welland Canal, in violation of the provisions of Article 27 of the treaty Os Washington, concluded May 8,1871: and Whereas, Said Welland Canal is connected with the navigation of the great lakes, and I am satisfied that 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 and otherwise, and Is reciprocally unjust and unreasonable; now, therefore. I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power to that end conferred upon me by said act of Congress, approved July 26,1892, do hereby direct that from and after Sept. 1, 1-92, until further notice, a toll of 20 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 portoi the Dominion of Canada, whether carried in vessels of the United States or of other nation*, and to that extent I do hereby suspend from and after said date the right of free passage through said St. Mary’s Falls canal of any and all cargoes In transit to Canadian ports. In testimony whereof, etc. « By the President: Benjamin Haf.bison. John W. Fcsteb, Secretary of State. Accompanying Memoranda. The memoranda accompanying the proclamation is as follows: At an interview held at the* Department of State on Monday, Aug. 1, the Secretary of State informed Mr. Herbert, charge d’affaires of the British legation, that in view of the passage of the act of Congress relating to the Canadian canal tolls the President would regard it his duty to Issue, without delay, a proclamation based upon that act, Imposing tolls upon products passing through tho Sault Ste. Marie or St. Mary's Canal, destined for Canadian ports, unless an assurance could be received from tho Canadlnn government within a few days that the discrimination now enforced in the Canadian canals against American ports and lines of transportation would be promptly discontinued. ® Mr. Herbert answered that a few days’ delay would be necessary in order to reassemble the Canadian Cabinet, the majority of whom were now absent from the capital; and he inquired of the Secretary what- time would be considered reasonable for this purpose. The Secretary replied that he thought the Cabinet might be conveniently called together and take action within a week or ten days, and that nothing would be done by the President in the matter within that time. Mr. Herbert said he would communicate immediately with the Governor General of Canada by telegraph, and urge prompt action. WORLD’S FAIR DEDICATION.

CHANDLER At tho Republican Stats Convention in Milwaukee, John 0. Spooner was nominated for Governor and John 0. Koch, a Lutheran, was placed on the ticket for Lieutenant Governor. Both of those nominations were made by aoolamation. The convention met at noon and took until two o’clock to effect a temporary organization. It then adjourned until three o'clock, but it was nearly four o'clock before it was called to order. When the convention reassembled at 4 o’clock, Malcolm Jefferies, of Janesville, was installed as Permanent Chairman. He was prepared for the emergency and at once launched into a speech, his utterances being well received. When ho had finished tho convention was called upon to listen to George B.

fa JOHN C SPOONER.

Mr. Shaw as the basis of a tariff argument. The gavel was made of wood and studded with pearl buttons and tho whole affair was manufactured in this country. The convention proceeded to business when Mr. Shaw had finished. As the committee on resolutions was not ready to report, the convention decided to proceed to nominations wi tbout waiting for it. Whooping It Up for 8 pooner. L. R. Luse of Dane County was the first man on the floor, and he at once took the platform. In a ringing speech he placed John C. Spooner in nomination, saying that he was not a candidate in the general sense of the term, but a man who had been drafted by his country and his party. Cheers greeted the mention of Spooner's name at the conclusion of the speech. Inside of ten seconds a motion had been made to choose Spooner by acclamation, and he was nominated by a rising vote. A committee was appointed to find Mr. Spooner, and ton minutes later they returned with him. He was greeted with enthusiastic cheers and took the platform. Mr. Spooner made a speech. He said he would carry the standard into every nook and crossing of the State and fight the battle out to the death. He was frequently interrupted by applause, and when he finished the delegates united in giving him three cheers. John 0. Kooh was nominated for Lieutenant Governor in much the same manner. The first contest was when the Secretary of State nomination came up. A ballot shower! 244 for R. W. Jackson ot Howard to 110 for O. L. Rosenkrans of Waukesha, and Jackson's nomination was made unanimous. Plattorin Submitted. The Committee on Resolutions after a protracted session submitted the platform shortly after 0 o’clock. The principal points are as follows: Its approval and support of the platform promulgated by the National Republican Convention at Minneapolis. Its unqualified approval of President Harrison's nomination. Its unqualified opposition to the proposition announced in the Democratic national platform to repeal the tax levied by the Federal law on the circulation of State banks, a policy which It effected would again flood the country with wild-cat money. It denounces as without foundation, and intended only to mislead the voters of Wisconsin, the statement so often made and reiterated by tho Democratic press, that Republican success In th* State Involves a surrender or compromise of whatever rights the courts may hold to exist in favor of the State nnon the bonds of ex-State Treasurers, and pledges Itself, If It shall be Intrusted with executive and legislative powers In the State, to enforce fully the rights of the people in the premises. It favors such amendment of the law authorizing the deposit In the banks of the State of public moneys belonging to the people that the deposits shall not be left solely to the favoritism ot State officials, and that the people be fully protected. It reaffirms and unqualifiedly indorses the declaration or the Republican convention hold in Milwaukee in May last upon the educational question, so-called, as correctly and clearly defining the position of the Republican party of the State upon the subject, to wit: "We regard the educational issues of 1890 as permanently settled In this State, not to be revived In any of its phases by the Republican party. Tills being the tact, we deprecate sad denounce any attempt to foster by reason es religion or nativity a division harmful to all the interests of the people of the State." Denounces the partisanship of the last gerrymander. Denounces the parsimony of the Democratic party of the State in its refusal to make adequate appropriations of money for a fit representation of the State at the World’s Colombian Exposition and calls attention, with shame, to the action of the Democratic majority in Congress In refusing to grant a liberal appropriation to cairylng out to 8 successful end that groat national exhibition. It declares now as heretofore, Its purpose In the future, as in the past, to foster and protect the industries of tho State. We denounce and condemn the cruel and barbarous treatment of American citizens in some of the Southern States as tending to corrupt good government. The platform which had been subnlitted was adopted without discussion, and the convention adjourned to meet at 8 o’clock. Completing the Ticket. It was nearly 8 o’clock when the convention reassembled and proceeded to complete the ticket. Atley Peterson of Crawford County was nominated for State Treasurer, and was made the nominee by acclamation. J. D. Wilson of Boscobel, George G. Sedgwick of Manitowoc, D.
