Regulations Prepared for Carrying Out the Provisions of the President's Proclamation. ‘The Treasury Department is getting ready to tax the Canadians for toll on their vessels pase ing through the St. Mary's canal, in accordance with the President's proclamation. “The tonnage which passes through this canal is greater than that of the Suez canal and the collection of the toll will be a task of some Toagnitude,” said an official toa Stan man to- day. : Acting Secretary Spaulding has issued cireu- lar instructions of this date to collectors of cus- toms under the act relating to tolls on Cana- dian vessels at the St. Mary's canal, which pro- vide that the money shall be collected under regulations to be established by the Secretary of the Treasury. After reciting the law and the President's proclamation he directs as follows: nthe passage through the canal at St falls, in your district, from and after the with cargo you will Bat no tolls ds freight exact tolls as provided for above. will be charged or collected as carried to and Innded at Ogdensburg or any port west of Ogdensburg and south of a line drawn from the northera boundary of the state of New York through the St. Lawrence river, the great lukes and their connecting channels to the northern boundary of the state of Minne- sota. “The master of every such vessel will be re- uired to furnish asworn statement, substan- idly inthe form of a manifest, showing the date, the name of the vessel, its destination, the name of the master and the number of tons and the kind of merchandise carried.

On the next arrival of the vessel you will exact the tolls, unless on or before that time and within one month from her paseage through the cunal there shall be furnished to yon proof of the actual delivery of the cargo at some port or place within the limita of the United States above specified.

AFTER THE TRAIN WRECKERS ALL DEPENDS ON THE FIREMEN. Grand Master Sargent Arrives on the Scene in Buffalo.

THE TELEGRAPHERS. Grand Chief Telegrapher Thurston had sev- eral long conferences while here. Ho departed for Albany yesterday. The object of his visit was, a6 nearly as can be learned, to ascertain the situation in this city and consult with the members of his order regarding the pending Western railway. The difficulty, which ix un- referred to General Manager Halsted for ap- proval. Thurston's visit here was official and he was empowered to act. AMONG THE TROOPS. The troops are becoming accustomed to the privations of war time and ure not grumbling 0 much over little matters, Ths commissnriat has improved, and this doubtleas has its effect on the spirits of the men. ‘The forty-eeventh separate company of Hornelisville arrived here last night and was assigned to guard the Nickel Plate and Erie crossings at Sencca ttreet. The Courier says company H of the seventy- fourth regiment is indignant at the treatment which they say Private Jackson received vester- day at the hands of Gen. McGrath. Accordiny to the men’s story this officer visited the vart ous camps in the morning and on the train buck to headquarters sent an orderly to have Jucl Jackson was occupying and which was in front of the general. Tie orderly, who was in the uniform of a private, without stating bis author- ity, ordered Jackson to “get out of that seat. Jackson replied: “I won't do it. You are not an officer and I am as much entitled to this seat ‘as vou are.” ‘Thereupon, it is said, Gen, McGrath leaned forward, seized Jackson and after handling him pretty roughly. landed him in the aisle. Jack- son was then placed under arrest aud is now in the guard house. Jackson’ haa been subjected to unjust treatment. said that affidavits are being taken to prove the facts as stated here for future use. VICE PRESIDENT WERB APPY. Vice President Webb hed a good rest the last two nights and looked bright and cheerful when @ press correspondent called upon him at 8 little worrving over the trouble with the com- | pany’s switchmen here. He has all along been sanguine of the outcome of the struggf,and to- normal amoun* of business both eastward and westward. Four hundred care bud been re- ceived from the Luke Shore yesterday, which represented about (aree-fourtha ef « regular day's business for that road. Shore would probably do a full day's work. Mr, Webb, in conclusion, said: “Everything is as dall as dish wat «LI guessevery one will away from here in from twelve to twenty- four hours.”” Some one threw a switch at the west end of the New York Central depot in Buffalo at 9 last night, cnusing a colli-ion of two empty wenger trains. One cozch wai deraited and nearly overthrown and the platforms of several coaches were smashed. Whe! he switch was thrown with malicious intent or was done by accident has not yet been learned. A REVIEW OF THE SITUATION. The announced coming here of Mr. Sargent at request of Mr. Sweeney, together with the collateral possibilities of Mr. Sargent’s presence here, constitutes today the chief element in the railway situation in this city. The firemen of the local —— here have passed the int where the enthusiasm of sympathy might ve taken them out on strike. The power over them of «conservative minority at their mect- ing on Friday night prevented their going out at that time independent of the order at large. During every hour since that time the fire- men, Who are in a position to know ex- actly what the companies are doing in freight traffic, have observed a steady increase in the movement of freight, and conviction has. been forced upon them that a strike no longer | prevails within the employment of the railroad [interests here. Conservative counsel, steadily maintained. has convinced the firemen that | their impulse of Inst week to a sympathetic | strike has been for themselves wisely repressed. | They stand ready, however, to add strength of their numbers to those of the men now idle, who ten days ago were the switchmen of the roads here involved. Every means of persuasion which Mr. Sweeney migitt honorably employ with the members of another friendls orgunization, itis fair to assume, has been put official sanctions has, however, been withheld and now Mr. t, at the instance Mr. Sweeney, is in this ¢ ‘THE KEY TO THE SITUATION, The head of the firemen’s order is today the key to the situation, as the situation is viewed from the standpoint of Mr. Sweeney and his WILL THE FIREMEN STRIKE?

GOV, FLOWER AND THE TROOPS, Warestows, N.¥., Aug. 22.—In conversation sending to many troops to the scen: strike, Gov. Flower said: “Have you a brother among the militia at Buffalo? If you have you | will know bow to answer the criticism. The militia of the state of New York is composed of active, intelligent young men, coming from Prosperous homes and shops and business laces. They devote time and energy and re- linquish a measure of their liberty in the serv- ice of the sta! in preparation of just such emergencies as the present one. When the state calls upon them for service that , has any element of danger in it the etate i bound to use every means at ite command to | minimize that danger as far an possible. Cer- tainly it would be an outrage to place one of these young men ina perilous position so long | as it is possible to avoid it. When the proper authorities at Buffalo informed me that the ity were trying to pro- tect a territory #0 vast that it was necemary to place every man in constant danger, and when jthey asked for more troops ‘to lessen thie danger to Life as well as to protect Property, the #tute could do no less than send enongh troops to properly handle the situa- tion and, so far wa can be, prevent all pom | bility of ‘riot and bloodshed," It was due to the strikers as well as to the militia and the owners | tion to all, for the strikers are not the oves from | whom serions trouble is feared.

Switchmens’ Lodge, 115, most of whove mem- bers are in the Erie vards, also held a meeting at which a like conclusion was reached. Will Stand by the Switchmen. Curcaso, Aug. 22.—At a mass meeting of trainmen yesterday a resolution was adopted expressing sympathy with and indorsement of | the stand taken by the Chicago switchmen to | go onastrike if they were ordered to do so as an outgrowth of the trouble at Buffalo. This was hardly expected, because the trainmen and |switchmen had been bitter enemies since the trouble on Northwestern road. A leading spirit of the trainmen said last night: “The ronda | have not treated the switchmen fairly. assed it thoroughly and have decided to stand | by them 4 they strike in Chicago. President McLeod's letter saying that tne switchmen are entitled to the consideration otly of outlaws is & trite too strong.
