There has been a serious strike of the signallers of the Great Indian Peninsula! Railway—or as it is generally called the "Bombay line." It has been the cause of great inconvenience, especially to shippers, who have their cargo landed at Bombay' ready to be sent by train to the various up-country stations. These shipments have had to lie idly in Bombay, as owing to the strike the passenger and goods trains have not been able to run regularly. The railway officials have come forward and done their best to help to make the results ofthe strike felt as little as possible. The telegraph wires have been tampered with, evidently by the strikers, as the process by which this has been done has been a! scientific one known and used by the signallers for the purpose of locating disconnections. An attempt was also made to derail a train, which, however, was not successful.
