The great railroad strike is still o n It is the most causless and the most lawlessly conducted of any great strike that has ever occurred. M-ail-and passenger trains are intrerrupted i and delayed all over the country,! while freight train business has been almost universally abandoned. The Monon lias had its share of troubles, although until yesteuday most of the passenger trains have been fairly reg ular except the night trains hauling Pullmans. Yesterday several trains were unable to run, for want of crews. The government is now taking hold of the matter, on account! of the interference'with the mails, and with the inte--state commerce law, and we look for the strike to end within a very few days. The Senate Tariff bill passed the Senate Tuesday, by a vote of 39 to' 34. It will probably soon pass the! House, and become a law.
