Oeneral Grant patronized the Chlca

were here In 1879 , " said McKay In his rat
slow manner of speaking , "will doubtl
vividly remember the Interesting times

Grant from Yokohama on the steams

"Somo time previous to his expected

leave no atone unturned to secure the hi

conceivable courtesy In the way of a spe <
train and all appropriate paraphenu
suitable to Ills .rank. The rivalry betwi
myself and other representntUcs ot east

one made the most positive boast that
would be the first to meet General Gn

FILLMOHB ON TUB IlEOKNT STRIKE
Apropos of the raltrondi , I had occasion th <
ilhpr ilny to call upon General Superintend
cnt J. A. Flllmore ot Ihe Southern Pacific
oil ! of the very best operating men In th
country. During the strike on the Southen
Pacific he played no Inconsequential par
nnd established R new reputation for shrewd
no s combined with dossed persistency tha
won him n lot of luml names , but broki
the backbone nf the strike.
Chatting In a reminiscent manner of thi
strllw and the grnvt ) dllllculltes his. compan ;
had to contend with , he told me thu
his company had thirty-six locomotive :
disabled by the strikers , twenty-six 01
the Truckco division alone. In rnos
cases the- strikers would steal the stean
valves from tht engines and throv
them Into th ! Truckco river , where o grca
many were found , but unfortunately iho ;
were not pairs , and consequently useless
In other cases they would use nuts to blov
out the cylinder bends , drop bolts whcrevc ;
they could bo possibly hidden fron
the engineer or fireman ; but the firs
revolution would show the prcscnci
of a froelgn agent , and before th
engine could ba stopped the damage Intendci
would be done. In ono case the striker :
went so far ns to remove a turn table li
front of n house , completely tlcltig up tin
business of the yard In that vay.
On the Oakland mole the strikers wen
particularly aggressive , and It wus enl ]
through the presence of the blue coats tlui
trains were gotten through at all.
Asked If the- Southern Pacific wouM re
store any ot the men who went out on Ihi
strike Mr , Kllltnnro said that wherever
man could show that he was intimidated
afiald of his life or felt himself In bodllj
cianser he stood n fair chance ot gcttlnt
bark , but thcro was nothing to do on tin
Southern Paclilc for a striker , "nor for tha
matter on any road , for the men who won
out on our road will lii known to overj
other railroad that cares to Inquire. "The
nicrr.en. said he , "aro particularly bitter
not to any great degree against the com
pany , but against the American Hailwaj
union for ordering them on a strike wliei
their leaders opposed It , Instead of render
Ing unto Caesar the things which won
Ucsars. they proceeded to choose a ncv
master In thu person of "Deba and now thei
nro rc-iplng the rewurd. "
Mr. Flllmorc had his share of the oxcttc
merit , nnd during the riots In Sacramento
when It was unsafe lor a railroad man t (
appear on the streets , he drove with hi-
conchman through the midst ot big mobs
talked with the men , counseled with then
nnd tried to show them their error. Or
ono occasion his colored coachman bucket'
against driving through a crowd ot hoodlums
and strike sympathizers and refused to budgt
nn Inch. Mr. Flllmore quietly reached foi
Ills sun. and then , nfler u moment's May
I'/.1' ' ' " , ? . ' 1oat1Iy toyloM Ills coachman that
if lie didn't drive on ho Atould put a Imllel
