A combination was recently formed by a number of our drivers to force us by con- certed action to permit them to run our business as they pleased. This we could not allow, and in consequence they struck. They informed us that they were encour- agedin the stand they had taken by an official of the Illinois Milk Co., for whom they are now working. Their action has led to considerable confusion and loss to us, and we beg that our customers will when they re- turn home be careful not to be mis- led by these drivers. Over 600 of the fam- ilies supplied by us left St. Louis for the summer, and it isexpected by the Illinois Milk Co. to secure their trade upon their return through the aid of our former drivers. ' On and after September 1, 1886, we will reduce the price of Pure Milk to the fol- lowing rates: Families taking sixteen pints of milk @ day or more will get forty pint tickets for $1.00, which is 2% cents a pint; eight pints of milk a day, or less than six- teen, will get thirty pint tickets for $1.00, which is 3% cents a pint; four pints of milk a day, or less than eight, will get twenty-eight pint tickets for $1.00, which is 8 3-5 cents a pint.

ING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. Chamberlain’s Bitter Dose—The Radical Swallows His Principles — Soldiers in Belfast Arrested for Rioting—Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, August 27.—The debate in the Com- mons last night on Buller’s appointment threw much light on the relations of the two parliamentary leaders of the Conservative party. From Churchill’s speech it was naturally inferred that the dispatch of Buller practically meant the military occupation of the country. Last night Hicks- Beach hastened to explain that the appoint- ment was purely a civil one and Buller’s being a soldier accidental. Thus Churchill may be said to have put out the Government’s horns of policy and Beach to have drawn them in again as faras necessary. This isthe second time they have figured in this dual ca- pacity. CHAMBERLAIN’S SPRECH was awaited with the greatest interest. It produced a series of the most exciting scenes witnessed forsome time. It was extremely clever, but equally unprincipled. He stated with perfect frankness his position in regard tothe Government. ‘‘Ilam not going to vote for any amendment which would be equivalent to a vote of censure on the Government. Iam not going to do any- thing to turn this Government out as long as the Government which is to take its place is committed to a separatist policy.’’ Thejex-At- torney-General charged him amid the greatest excitement with deliberately choosing the most insulting epithets for the party to which he formerly be- longed. This being the case there was no necessity for Chamberlain to speak at all if he was,going to gulp down all his principles and vote blindly to keep the Tayies in office. The second point was his position with regard to the land purchase. ‘‘It is one thing,’’ he said. ‘‘that the resources of the Empire should be devoted to adding to the peace and prosperity of those for whom Imperial Par- THE TWO CONSERVATIVE LEADERS PULL- Leader Makes a Clever Speech, but 15 years, A.

Interesting Address on African Missions— Colored Baptist Convention. In the afternoon session of the convention of Colored Baptists, holding at the First Church on Clark avenue and Fourteenth street, after the opening prayer, in addition to the reading of Miss Smith’s paper, there was a discussion of considerable length upon the paper of Rev. Mr. De Baptiste. The Rev. J. J. Spellman then offered a reso- lution providing that the sympathy of the convention be expressed for the Prohibition- ists inthe contests now being carried on in the Southern States. Referred to the Com- mittee on Resolutions. Miss Burdette,the sister of Bob Burdette,the humorist, then addressed the convention on the subject of ‘‘Women.’’ She talked some upon the paper read by Miss Smith. Miss Burdette also reviewed briefly the object of the Home Missionary Society. A vote of thanks wasthen tendered Misses Smith and Burdette. Rev. 8. T. Clanton, B. D., of Louisiana, read &@ paper on ‘‘Unification or Separation.’’ The yaper handled the question of the color line n the church, and provoked considerable dis- cussion, which had not ended when the time for adjournment arrived, and further debate was laid over until this morning. THIS |MORINNG'S EXERCISES were opened by Rev. Ed Wilson in prayer. The business session opened after the singing of ‘*There Isa Fountain Filled with Blood,’’ the reading of the nineteenth psiam by Rev.G. W.Ward of Kentucky and prayer by Rev. J. is. Roberts. On motion of Rev. J. RK. Raynor of Indiana the money collected from the two blind delegates was refunded and was made good by voluntary subscription. Rev. G. W.
