Mr. Jeffery is one of the best known general managers in the West, and has been connected witli the Illinois Central Company in variov.s capacities for thirty-three years. As an executive railroad officer he has no superior, and the solid financial condition of the Centra) Illinr Company, after having passed through an unusually try ing period for Western railroads, is the best possible commentary on the character of his work. He is regarded amorg the practical railroad men of the Wust as an especially brilliant railroad official, and tne sudden announcement or his xesignation to lake effect at once created no end of surprise and comment. At Denver Billy Johnson, aged 23, became jealous of his sweetheart, Jennie Sohrock, because of her attention to Charles Wood. Johnson and the girl met and quarreled. The girl ordered him

The British Parliament has been prorogued with the customary ceremonies until Nov. 15. The royal speech of prorogation mentions the Samonn convention, and says it awaits the assent of the United States Senate. The speech makes no reference to the Behring Sea troubles. There is the usual brief summary of the leading political events of the year, domestic and foreign, with nothing new or of especial irterest. A xibpatch to the Londou Standard from Shanghai says: Pekin advices are that a number of high Chinese officials have petitioned Prince Chun to have all Americans employed in China expelled from the empire. It is reported that Prince Chun has consented.

Fourteen sealers in all have been boarded by the Rush and warned to leave Behring Sea, in addition to the six captured. The cargo of the St. Paul consisted of 100,000 seal skins.

The prominent W estern cattle markets are dull ani prices lower. Australia and South America continue heavy. Crop reports generally remain favorable, and without serious frosts for a fortnight the Indian corn crop promisee to be the heaviest on record. There ha been more activity in the domestic Krain markets. Flour has sold more freely for home use and export at lull prices.

The weather during the week was unusually warm and dry throughout the corn belt and the extreme Northwest, causing corn to mature rapidly, but the crop is much in need of rain in some localities. Hot winds and drought have caused some damage to crops in Dakota, Illinois, and Missouri. Early corn in the central valleys was much improved by the hot, dry ' weather. The absence of rain has affected grass, fruit, and tobacco uufavorabJ y in the Ohio Valley, while showers in Tennessee have improved the tobacco crop. Reports from Texas indicate that the weather for the week was very favorable for cotton and the crop i being secured ranidly. In Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi tne cotton crop was much improved by favorable weather, but more rain is needed, especially for cane in Louisiana.

In the Middle Atlantic States, including New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New York, the weather was favorably, causing corn to mature rapidly, With prospects of a large crop. Potatoes were improved in New York, but need more rain, while in Pennsylvania and New England the potato rot continues, with a prospect of a short crop of inferior quaUty. In New England the weather was cool, but an average crop of corn is ripening rapidly. The fruit crops in this section are generally in good condition, but the vield of apples will be light.

RECEIPTS OF THE LEAGUE A2tt b AMKKIl AX ASSOCIATION.

THE STRIKE IS STILL OK

The Kace for tlie. Various Pennants WJiat tfie Clubs of the League Are Doing on the heasou'n Home-fc tretch Diamond Dutit. CHICAGO OOBRESPONDKNCB.1 Thorace for the League championship prows in interest as the season draws to a close. New York and Bonton are still running neck and neck, and no one can safely predict which will come out ahead. Chicago has showed a raarkel improvement in play during the past two weeks, and threatens to displace Philadelphia from third position, if, indeed, a? "Old Anse" boasts he will, she does not givtt Boston and New lork a tight rub for first place. The Philadelphiasar in hard lines. Thay haven't a man zo place in the box in whom they can put any fooling of security, and the rest of the team is not doing the sort of work tiat permits of loose pitching. The poor "Babies' are having a serious run of bad luck, losing most ot their games by only one lun. They couldn't come down the iisi: any faster on a greased pole. Cleveland crowds are souring on thm and eeam not to cure whether they hold filth place or the last. The Pittsburgs are close behind and are out for all they can get. Hanlon's manngement was aLl that was needed to put the Jonahs on their feet. The Indianapolis people continue to breakout quite regularly and grab off a game here and there. The Washingtons. too. tfive an occasional black eye, but none of tht?ir scraps seem to return them any benefit and they are as heavily auchored at the bottom of the list os ever. The Western clubs have of late been showing the best work and some radical changes in the league standing may be very properly watched for. STANDING OF THIS CLUBS.

A London dispatch says: The great strike remains u; changed, neither side bavins madeamcve to-day. There are signs of discontent, howevtr, among the agitators, and it is e serted that n small committee has been appointed to coi sider the advisability of abandon 'ng the strike. There is also trouble over ihe relief funds, the stevadores complaining that they are not receiving their proper share, but the men are generally standing firm and there is nothing I ke disaffection in their ranks. Ttn thousand tailors joined the strikers this morning. Information has been received by the police and by Home Secretary Matthews that Burns to-day urged the strikers to proceed to the docks and expel the men working there. Eight hundred ttrikerc visited the Albert docks this afternoon and compelled the laborers thfre to quit work. Men at wu;k on vessels in the Med way were also forced to quit. The govern ment is now employing convicts to unload vessels in i;he Medway. The dock companies express themselves as better satisfied with the s aspect of affairs, T.iey have an increased number of men at work. The officials state that plenty of labor would be obtainable if the strikers' picket system were abolished. A deputation of ship-owners, representing eighty of the leading houses in the metro politan district, waited upon the officials of the dock; companies to day and urged upon them to give the shippers powr to make then own arrangements with the men for the discharge and loading of vessels. Mr. Norwood, chairman o! the joint docks committee, appealed to the shippers not to press their request, as to grant it would be impossible without conceding the points which the comsanfcs are fighting against. At a meeting of wharfingers a resolution was adopted advising the striken; to accept the dock companies. offer. Mr. T. F. O'Connor's paper, the Star, has collected 2,500 for the strikers' fund A dispatch to the Star from Melbourne, Australia, says that at a meeting there the sum of 1,500 was collected on behalf of the striker.!. At Rochester, there is much excitement over the strike. Coal has advanced '2 shillings. The railroads aud the river docks are picketed by strikers to prevent the importation of new labor. Two of tae largest firms here have expressed tht-.ir wiljingness to grant the required concessions, but the men refuse to return to work unless all the firms concede their demands. At Dundee, a trades union congress has adopted resolutions to the effect that the London agitators are justified in their demands. The congress also called upon the various trades of the United Kingdom to render the strikers all possible financial support. Thementionjof John Burns' name was loudly applauded.
