had been eloped. 'Part of the employes of the hop rave been laid off. and tbat is all there is cf it," he said. , At an early hour thin morning General Mnfrer Miller, of the St Paul road, was found eittinc at his table in hia private office dictating letters to his amanuensis. He said there were no Dew developments in the situation and tbat everything oo the St, Paul system is moving moothly. Mr. Miller's attention was called to n opinion tbat the order, promulgated yester4ay, cutting down the working force of the road, would pive 1,000 votes to the labor ticket in Milwaukee. He said: "It is nay business to take care of the St Panl road, and not of the tickets nominated by the political parties. I don't believe the order will make any such difference. I am snre that most of the men employed by the St. Paul road will see that their interests will be subserved by the success of the ticket which is acceptable to the business men of the city. Certainly that is for the interests of the railroad, and what is for the interest of the railroad is for the interests of the men empfcyed bv it" The officials of the St. Paul road discovered today the switches communicating with the NorthWmtfrn svemw. wberebv all

freight is transfe rred from one road to another, had been spiked during the nijrht. The work of obstruction bad been so thoroughly done that nothing short of tearing up the switches would ndo it The first conclusion arrived at in the matter was that the Brotherhood men bad done It, but the St. Paul officials took a different view of the matter, after considering the case, and now hold that the spiking was done at the instigation of the Northwestern officials themselves. The St Paul people say the Northwestern probably think this is the safest way by which to avoid trouble, as the spiking of the switches precludes the possibility of any freieht being tendered the Northwestern by the St Paul. UI8CELLANEOD8 STRIKE NEWS. Sleeting of Employes in Chicago Which Ilave No Special Result. Chicago, April 3. A local paper says: The general advisory committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers held a meeting last Bight for the purpose of considerine what steps were ceceasary to prevent the radicals pursuine a course that it is feared will end in the disintegration of the Brotherhood. The conservative members have become greatly alarmed over the lawless actions of the switchmen,' as the blame lor the acts of the latter is placed on the shoulders of the engineers. The switchmen, aided by the radicals In the Brotherhood, it is claimed, have assumed the management of the strike, and the officers of the Brotherhood are no longer consulted as to the steps necessary to be taken. Most of the members of the committee strongly urged the adoption of a resolution declaring that the Brotherhood of Engineers has nothing in common with the switchmen, and is In no way responsible for their action. Mr. Hoge, chairman of the Burlington grievance committee, and two or three others were the only ones who opposed such action, claiming that the aid of the switchmen was needed to help the engineers to gain the fight against the Burlington. They asked that the engineers and switchmen with all the means at their command continue in boycotting every line that insisted upon handling Burlington freight After a long and animated discussion it was decided that the advisory committee depart at once for Cleveland and consult with Chief Arthur as to the best course to be pursued hereafter. Referring to the notice served by the Bock Island on the Burlington tbat there shall be no further exchange of traffic, the same paper says: "The traffic of the Rock Island has increased 20 per cent since the inauguration of the Burlington strike, and is still on the up-grade. The tompany is prepared to enforce the announcement made to the 'Q' yesterday. At all points where there are connecting tracks over which the Q' could enter the Rock Island yards the atter has placed switches and given orders to their switchmen to allow no 'Q' trains in. The men are greatly pleased with this state of affairs. The cardinal virtue of the Rock Island bosition is that announced by General Manager St John, that they intend to avoid tying np their entire system and causing great inconvenience and damage to the people on their line by refusing the freight of the 'Q.' As a result f yesterday's notice the Burlington has i inttated its complaint against the Rock Island in he United States Circuit Court Judge slresham will hear arguments to-morrow." The Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul strikers held a meeting, last night, lasting until a late hour. The chairman of their grievance committee made a speech, in which he declared tbat the road was now practically tied up. He pointed to the fact that rive thousand employes bad already been laid off as a proof of this assertion. He advised the men to stand firm, and predicted that every road in the city would be tied up inside of forty-eight hours. Similar speeches were made by other speakers, and a resolution in favor of a continuation of the itrike was carried with a yell. An unsuccessful effort was made to induce the passenger engineers and firemen to declare on the side of the switchmen and switch engineers, but the representatives present said no just reason had yet been presented why they should. The Btrike, it in stated, has already seriously crippled the St Paul road. The through passenger trains are tunning on time, but with very few occupants. The Northwestern trains are, on the ontrary, crowded In an uncomfortable manner. To-morrow the St Paul will join the Burlington in its attempt to force the fight upon the roads tbat are now reaping the benefits of the strike. The Western-avenue yards of the fct Paul are full of trains made up for every road in the eity. At 6 o'clock in the morning a train of forty-two cars will be sent to the stoekyards. Later in the day transfers will be placed noon the tracks of the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy, Chicago & Northwestern, Panhandle. Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Chicago AS Atlantic, Michigan Central and Illinois Central, the strikers say they have positive assurances that the Northwestern yardmen will strike rather than touch a "Q" car, while some of the Korthwestern employes say the road has so much freight of its own that it could not touch Burlington traffic if it wished to. The Chicago Evening News says: One of the most important moves that has yet been taken in connection with the railroad strike at present paralysing trade in Chicago was decided upon in secret session by the Lumbermen's Association to-day. This is nothing less than to take legal proceedings against every railroad connecting with the Burlington to compel it to haul out their lumber and transmit it over their reipective liut . The Conductors Denounce the Engineers. Chicago, April 3. An afternoon paper pubKshea advance sheets from the report of the grand secretary of the Order of Railway Conductors, which have been sent out to the manigers of the various railroads. The report is made np almost entirely of bitter denunciations f the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, f he following are extracts: "It is unnecessary to do more than call the attention of the members of the order to the fact that divisions of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers have pasted resolutions that after their trouble with the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy should have been settled no member of the order should be permitted to run a train where members of the Order or Railway Conductors were employed, and why! Because, forsooth, the members of the order have not een willing to make of themselves eteppiogttoues for the engineers to mount , higher; because tbey have not joined in a fight against their own interests to accommodate the engineers; because, in a word, they bave dared to be men and to attend to their duties. I say with emphasis, the time has come when conductors should in every instance oppose this organization in its demands on the railway companies, because every time you aid the engineers you injure your own standing, prospects, and probable increase of remuneration. Whore is there an instance on record where the engineers bave ever aided in the slightest degree any other than themselveal They" apply to the switchmen, braKetnen, firemen, conductors any one and every one whom tbey think can be persuaded to aid them, and as soon as the trouble is over commence to prate of their organization that keet8 itelf free from alliance with aoy other, its members, who are ail skilled laborers, and who cannot afford to lace their skill on a par with ;be uoekilled labor of other rganizations by assisting them. Behold them Sow. on their knees to the switchmen's and srakeruen's associations. It is time for the eonluctora to teacn railway officers what the enginers themselves already well know and are nnxous to conceal, tbat nice-tenths of the conduct rs of the United States are capable and trustworthy engineers The conductors on the Chisago, Burlington & Quincy have already demonItrated thi, and ttiey are ready to do It on other reads. I hope sincerely that the tiro is close at iar.d when they will nut only be ready but wili--g to do so all over tne United States. To-day he engineer receives pay lor the intelligence, tnowledge. skill, experience and responsibility if the conductor. They have been able to ao-

complish this result only through the aid. or at

least the sympathy, of the conductors themselves." A Congressional Investigation Proposed. Washington, April 3. The resolution adopted by the House commerce committee to provide for a congressional inquiry into the engineers' strike in the West was a substitute for Mr. White' resolution, which limited the inquiry to the Bnrliugton railro-id and made no reference to interstate commerce. It is practically identical with that introduced by Mr. Anderson, of Iowa, which wna referred to the committee on rules, and is still before tbat com mittee, the only change of cansequence being the om mission of the Atchison, Tope K a & Santa Fe railroad, where the strike has ended. It begins with a long preamble reciting tbat the strike of the engineers of the Chicago, Burling ton & Quincy railroad resulted in an obstruction to interstate commerce, and put in jeopardy the public peace; that the management claim to nave supplied competent men to replaee the strikers. and " restored the company to a proper discharge of its duties and obligations as a common carrier engaged in interstate commerce; that it is alleged that the new men are incompetent to discharge the responsible duties of engineers; that it is alleged that the claim of a resumption of business on the road is a fraudulent protense and a gross imposition upon the public, placing in imminent pent both life and property; that the Iowa state Board of Railroad Commissioners have declared the men to be incompetent, and tbat such con flicts between officers and employea ot railroads, fraught as they are with danger to life, property and peace. ae matters of great national concern. demanding prompt and earef nl consideration by Congress, to the end tbat proper laws may De enacted. The resolntion reads: That (the Speaker be. and hereby Is authorized and directed to appoint a special committee of five members of the House, whose duty it shall be to proceed at once to the scene of said strikes, tben and there to make investigationfthereof. with a view to ascertaining what legislation is necessary in the matter of denning and enforcing the mutual rights and duties of the officers, managers and employes of railroad companies add other common carriors engaged in interstate com merce, and the relations of each to the public, to the end that danger to life, obstruction to commerce and jeopardy to the public peace ir.ay be prevented and averted, and that said committee may employ a stenographer and a.clerk, administer oaths, examine witnesses and compel the attendance of persons and the production of books and papers. Alexander Sullivan Hopes Congress Will Investigate. Chicago, April 3. Mr. Alexander Sullivan, chief legal adviser of Mr. Arthur, Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, was interviewed this evening in relation to the resolution of the House committee on commerce to appoint a committee to investigate the Burlington & Quincy strike. He said: "Ordinarily, I favor as little paternalism as possible. This, however, is an exceptional case, and I sincerely trust the House will concur in its committee's recommendation. The controversy between the Burlington road and its lat-i employes is not a private struggle between employer and employe, in which the public have no interest It is a proper subject for public inquiry. The Burlington managers seem to have forgotten that the primary object of a railroad is to benefit the public, and tbat the enrichment of its stockholders and managers is only incidental. They have reversed this rule and consider only their stubborn resolve to beat down a brave, competent, faithful body of men, without regard to the welfare oi the people to whom tbey own their existence. Tie late employes of the Burlington road will welcome a congressional investigation. In the first place, it will be shown that the Burlington road has not been asked to pay higher wages than are being paid by its competitors. The railroad officials have songht to convey to the public the idea that they were asked to pay higher wages than their competitors pay. An investigation will demonstrate the ntter falsity of tbat charge. They have been asked to pay what their neighbors pay and no more. The Burlington managers pretend that their management of their own property was sought to be interfered with. The thin basis for this pretense is the fact that the wages schedule on that road is made up on the trip in place of the mile system. The Burlington's trip system is a shrewd devise concocted to prevent a fair comparison of its wage rates with those of its competitors. If that road paid by the mile, a single glance at its wage tables would show tbat it paid poorer wages than any other road running into Chicago. But it has deviled a trip system, under which its engineers are paid $3.75 a trip from Aurora to Gslesburg, that being a run of 125 miles. No other road pays less than 3 J cents per mile. Hence the Burlington engineers are deprived of 42J cents on each trip in comparison with the wages of engineers on other roads. It pays $3 for runs precisely tike those for which the Union Pacific pays $3.87. So it is all over its vast system. The men have shown their good faith by offering to submit their case to a board of arbitrators, to be composed exclusively of railroad managers. Surely the managers of othsr roads could not and would not award the Bcrlington men more than current market wages, because if they did their own men wonld instantly ask to be placed on an equality with the Burlington men. Hence the fairness of the meu's proposition. But the men were insolently told that there was nothing to arbitrate. If the road offered arbitration and the men refused it, the latter would be denounced as obstructionists, ignoramuses, bnll-heads and vagabonds. The road refuses arbitration by a jury selected from its own class. Yet its managers are praised by some people as a body of men wisely protecting their rights. Meanwhile the public are suffering. The business of this great metropolis, and of the vast country tributary to it, is deranged. Neither life nor property is safe on the Burlington road. The testimony taken before the Railroad Commissioners, to-day, has shown that serious accidents, resulting in injuries, some of them well nigh fatal, to buraan beings and great injury to property have occurred on the Burlington road because ot the carslessaess ar d incompetence of its new employes, some of whom have been shown to be drunkards who were dismissed from the railroad tut who were taken back to replace the Brotherhood.-men. The proposition that the Rock Island and other roads should be coerced into doing the Burlington's business, when the Burlington eould do the business itself, if it would pay tho same wages which the Rock Island pays, is a monstrous one. Why not make the Rock Island buy new engines to replace these destroyed by the drnnken, ignorant crews with whom it is vainly trying to do the business which it did so well when it had Brotherhood men in its service?" The Views of Mr. McGnire. Amsterdam, N. Y., April 3. Thos. McGuire, of the general executive board of Knights of La bor, who has been in town for the past week. was interviewed by a reporter to-day. He was asked: "What do you think of the railroad troubles in the Westr "The C. B. & Q. engineers are virtually beat en," Mr. McGuire replied, "and there is no use in their prolonging the conflict It is the Knights of Laoor who bave beaten them. Our people have been getting even with the Brotherhood for its course in the Southwestern and Reading strides." "Do you not think that their defeat in this strike will be a fatal blow to the Brotherhood!" "No; tbis may be a good thing for the Broth erhood. It may teacn them a useful lesson. think that the end will be that the Brotherhood will either come into the Knights of Labor or will enter into some kind of a contract with Toe Santa Fe Officials Submit Kansas City, April 3. At a general and secret meeting of switchmen in the yards here. held late last night, reliable information was presented to the effect that the Santa Fe com pany would not force the men to handle "Q' freight. The meeting thereupon ordered that if such be the case the y aid men on that road who went oat last evening should resume work this mornroe. In accordance with this the men all took their places again this morning. The Santa Fe has posted a notice that that road will receive no freight whatever of any kind to-day. All the other roads are working all right ex cepting the Burlington. GENERAL LABOR NEWS. Hot Much Change to Be Made in the Scale of Amalgamated Iron-Workers. Pittsbubg. Pa., April 3.

BASE-BALL. The Indianapolis Club Oefeated by the Cln- . clnnatl Team. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Cincinnati, O., April a For six innings this afternoon it really looked as if the Iloosiers would introduce the Reda to hollow-eyed defeat. Boyle pitched a magnificent game, and when he retired the Beds had made but four hits off him. and the score was 4 to 2 in the visitors' favor. Tben Moffet was trotted out. The red-legged brethren took kindly the fireman's curves, and they crawled up gradually. The grand massacrean act occurred in the eighth. Juc nee led off with a two-bagger and Fennelly was pre sented with a base on balls. Ihey stole sec ond and. third simultaneously, which Buckley looked on in wonder. Keilly caught a ball and sent it into center for a home run, and then "Hick Caroenter drove a fly to the left field fence and he trotted around the circuit. Of course the day was lost to the Hoosiers. The game was exciting and ended in a great play. After two were out m the ninth Buckley was bit and then Bassett sent a ball to right for two bags. "Buck" tried to go all the way around, but was caught by a couple of fine throvrs-in by Nicol and McPhee. There was enough hitting in the game to satisfy the hardest kicker on the threestrike rule. The Reda were in the rear half the time, and when little Nio scaled over the plate on his vest, after a home-run drive to right, the shout that went np tola of the suppressed excitement. That run tied the score in the third. President John T. Brush came down to see the game, and be was glad to find another of the refractory players corralled. Myers quit the "catchers' trust" to-day and interviewed Manager S pence. The contest to-day was by far the best of the year on the local grounds.

H Yesterday's gamo was lost in order that other games might be won. Boyle had the Cincinnati's beaten when he was replaced by Moffet, in order that his arm might not be injured. Cincinnati Enquirer: Indianapolis has a very strong team. It will make ail the League teams play ball to beat it this season. Tommie Esterbrook was not forgotten. There was considerable hand-clapping when he came to the bat the first time. About the only damaging feature In yesterday's game is the total of the "runs" column. Indianapolis batted bard as well as Cincinnati, and fielded like clock-work. It was a case of the other fellows' hitting. Cincinnati's total base-hit column foots up line the returns from Republican precincts in the late election. The City League is meeting with success on all sides.

The Indianapolis club returned from Cincinnati last night, and notwithstanding their defeat were in the most exuberant spirits. Manager Spence is enthusiastic over the showing the team made. Yesterday's game, be said, was won, but was thrown away in order to avoid danger to Boyle's arm. The score was 4 to 2 in Indianapolis's favor, when Boyle exchanged with Moffet The club remains here until Friday, when it opens the local season. Yesterday's Commercial-Gazette: The visitors were at a disadvantage inasmuch as some of their men had but little, if any, practice, and the make-up of the team was considerably altered from what it was last year. Manager Spence is to be congratulated on securing such a good combination of playing talent, and when they are In playing condition they will surely make the other League members look well to their laurels. Paul Hines. of last year's "Washington club, eovered center field and accomplished some clever work. Shomberg, who played at first for the Hoosiers last season, has been removed into right, and though the game of yesterday was the first ho has officiated in this season, his playing was very creditable. "Dude" Esterbrook played at first in his usual graceful manner, and a'so secured a nice single. THE TURF. Fine Weather and a Fast Track for the New Orleans Races. New Orleans, April 3.
