(Eeceived September 25,. 10 p.m.)
London, September 25. It is difficult to indicate at the present juncture whether the Irish railways strike will spread or collapse. The Earl of Aberdeen (Lord Lieutenant of Ireland) and Mr. Mitchell (representing the Board of Trade) are engaged in efforts to bring about peace. . The War Office is sending to Dublin half the railway corps from Aldershot to act as engine drivers. They have been ordered to drive if necessary both troop and mail trains. The troops have also been ordered to protect Thurles and Ballybrophy. Five hundred N Belfast railwaymen resolved to : strike to-day. The directors of the companies minimise the trouble, and declare that their passenger service will be unaffected. The Wexford branch of the Amalgamated Society of Hailwaymen has unanimously condemned the executive for calling a general strike in Ireland instead of making the order apply to the United Kingdom.
Troops are guarding Cork tunnel and Limerick Junction.
