A BEri reporter yesterday visited the
Union Pacific shops In ciucst of whatever information -
formation ho could obtain concerning the
Btrlko. , Ho first visited the roundhouse ,
which was almost deserted , there being only
one or two men around the building. Inqui
ries failed to elicit any Information of mo-
' tncnt and the scribe turned away. Jiibt t > ut-
nldo the gnto ono of the striking qngliieers
was mot and In rcsi > oiiso to the Inquiry ,
' "What Is the latest concerning the strike ! "
replied : "Well , wo have struck , orn'partof
us have , the passenger and some switch en
gineers have not and will not bo re
quired to. Judge Dundy did it when
' .lio Issued his- order compelling the
Union Pacific to handle the freight of the
Chicago , Burlington &Qulnoy. It Is justllko
this. There Is a suspicion existing that the
Ctticago , Burlington & Quincy and the Unloli
Pacific entered Into an agreement by which
' this case was qairicd Into the courts with the
understanding that an order1 was to bo served
on the Union Pacific as I have said and that
the engineers in the employ of the hitter road
\vcro to bo compelled to handle "Q" cars
whether they wanted to or not. The force of
that writ Is shown right hero. I hardly think
that Judge Pundv will Issue n writ ordering
. us to take our old places again. "
"What Is the reason that you permit pas-
. scnger trains to ruul" nskcd the reporter.
"Because wo do not wish to Incommode the
traveling public. Wo arc not as mercenary
us some suppose. AVe arc bound to win this
light with the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy ,
for it Is n case of the downfall of the
brotherhood or its existence. Wo Oo not
wish as I said before to Inconvenience
the traveling public and it is not-necessary
to our success to refine to run passenger
trains. Had Judge Dundy's order included
passengers fiom the 'Q' or its cars , I cannot
6ny what the result would have been. Wo
will handle what freight that Is absolutely
necessary to bo handled for the. Union Pacific
for a few du.ys In order to protect its ship
pers , but will not under any circumstances
touch n Chicago , Burlington & Quincy car.
Wo have no grievance with the Union Pacific ,
neither have wo any grievance with any
other road , but wo are ui this fight to win ,
. nnd ut any cost wo will win. Thut is our po
sition exactly. " and with these woids the en-
. fe'lncer walked away.
AT THE DEPOT.
The switch engines at the yards on Tenth
street were all tied up yesterday and the cross
ing for once was clear. The "flyer" loft on
time as usual. Suburban trains will con
tinuo running between South Omaha and
Council Bluffs. An order was sent out to all
agents on the line yesterday to the effect
that until further notice no stock or perish
able freight would bo received. While noth
ing general could bo learned it is given out on
the quiet that unless a settlement Is reached
' in a few days that no freight of any kiiidwill
bo taken for shipment.
THE COXFEHESCn.
A conference of thq grievance committee
of engineers and firemen with Thomas L.
Itimlmll was hold at the Union Pacific headQuarters -
Quarters jcsterday. What the result of the
meeting was will bo learned in the following
cbtloquj- when Mr. Kiinball was asked as tone
{ no result of the conference by a BKB re
porter : '
"You can say that everything is running
smoothly and that the action of the meii ill
striking this morning was rather hasty.
"How about the handling of Chicago , Bur
lington & Quincy cars ! " naked the reporter.
"You can say that overj thing is running
1 smoothly , " said Mr. Klmbcll.
"Will the men handle Chicago , Burlington
& Qnmcy cars ! " queried the Bun man.
' Everything Is running smoothly , " said
the ofllcl.il.
'Will the men bo asked to handle Chicago ,
Burlington & Quiucycarsi" WUB the next
question.
"Everything is running smoothly , " was
the reply.
' 'How ' about your receiving frclghtl"
"Everj thing is limning smoothly. "
And tired or hearing this stereotyped ox
presslon , the reporter , seeing that everything
was running smoothly , took advantage of tin
ultuntion and smoothly slid out and wended
his way to the .raids on Alnrcy street , where
ho found Mr. Kimball's statement correct as
fur as the stock that was running was con
corned. Ono solitary cnghio and perhaps a
half dozen freight cars wcio "lunning
smoothly" up and down n side track , while
perhaps a dozen more locomotives were
standing over the ash pits waiting for some
one to put them to running "smoothly. "
Mooting nn engineer who has until last
night pulled the throttle nn ono of the afore
said engines , ho enquired :
"Wlmt Is the latest ! "
"Well , " said the engineer , "wo nro sick
nnd need rest. "
"When uro you gqlng back to work ! "
"Oh , I don't know. Wo nro Hick nnd need
rest. "
"When you do go to work , will you
liandlo Burlington cars if the present
Btrihoon tie ) Chicago , Bui llugton & Quincy
is not settled i"
"Oh I I don't knoiv. You BCO the most of
us nro sick , need rest and cannot work. "
"What was the result of the conference
this afternoon between the engineers and Mr.
Klmballl"
"Woll , I don't know. I was sick nnd could
not attend. "
"Did you talk with anyone that did at-
teniU"
' 'Yes , but ho was so sick ho could not tell
mo. "
' . 'Were the men united to hniullo 'Q.1 cnrsl
" 1 rdully do not know. 1 tun so sick. "
"Would you handle them if uskod on jour
return to work , piovided tho'Q.1 strike was
not vet ended 1"
"Woll , I don't ' know. You see I am not
feeling well enough to answer tmt | qm-stion
I urn gqjng overto'tlnit drug bt.oro now to gel
Bonio medicine. Cull and bco mo when I gel

This afternoon I asked lioprcsentntive

Judge Dundy , holding that the Nebraska
stnlo board of transportation , hclhor ( as ofll-
ccrs nor individuals , can In nny way . Intcr-
fcro'wlth the Union PaclOo railroad In its
construction , , repair , running1 or operating- ,
or by fixing and enforcing rales of travel or

wjth reference to cither , nnd granting the
Union Pnclflc'a permanent Injunction against
the bo'urdil. _ . .
. "I tmvo just rend Judge Dundy's ' decision , "
s.ald Mf. Dorsoy , * 'utid , I am. simply astou-
itfhcd. If the law fs'ns stated by the judge ,
then it is tlmo fprtbc people of Nebraska' to
understand the .situation. It is particularly
unfortunate ntth'ls time , sot'fur as the , rail
road is concerned as thcro is n fccjiug.on the
part of , members representing , the states
'
iravcrse'd by.tho Unio'n , and Kansas Pacific ,
especially to' favor the Outhwalto bill , giving
an extension of time to the
companies within which to pay
their indebtedness to the government.
.But it no $ thto hits any authority over these
Pacificttillrouds because , as Dundy says ,
they were authorized ' by the federal govern
ment when'construited , no such bill as that
proposed by Mr. Outhwaito could possibly
pass congress without iehun amendment as
will clcJhie mid t\x the status df the com
panies nnd give the states in which the roads
nro operated , Iho power guaranteed under
thoii ; construction to regulate nud control
railways. I cannot ; beliovp yet when this

He was to bo a delegate ut-lorgo from his

THE DEMORALIZATION BV STORM.
There has been very little improvement in
telegraph , railroad and mail facilities at the
national capital during the past twenty-tour
hours. General demoralization abounds.
Trains nro running irregularly between tnis
city nnd Philadelphia , but nothing has
arrived by mil from New York , leaving there
later than Sunday , midnight. The weather
has moderated nnd linemen uro at woik on
the telegraph , telephone nnd lire alarm
systems. There is aslight improvement in
the latter but nothing encouraging in the for
mer. There is no direct telegraph communi
cation with New York , and but twd or three
uncertain whcs are working to the west.
To-night it is clear and cold , but the ofilccrs
at the weather bureau , who nrc nothing moro
than animal prophets now , say there w ill bo
a continual moderation und that wo will have
warmer weather within thitty-six hours.
Tlio telegraph people soy the wires will not
be all right again till the end of the week.
Nothing can bo Icaincd of the condition
of the railroad or tolcgiap ) ! between
Philadelphia and Now York as no com
munication has been icccivod from thctc.
FRACTIONAL FAI'Blt MOXEV.
There will bo considerable opposition to the
proposition in the house to IssnO $30,000,000 ,
worth of silver certificates , hi denominations
of 5 , 10 , 15 , 25 , and 50 cents. The bill has
been reported from the committee on bank
ing and currency and is indorsed by all of
thu members except Mr. Bacon , of New
York , who holds that thcro is not u general
demand from the country for this cm rcncy
> ind to issue it would bo in conflict with the
general principle that the treasury of the
United States should not become n bunk of
deposit for the money of private people nor
issue its negotiable certificates of deposit to
its depositors. Ho holds that it \ \ ill do so if
It Issues a class of money which will bo u
convenience only to u small class of the
people. Ho holds' fuithor , that this frac
tional paper money would bo largely coun
terfeited , as it wus many years ago , uud that
it would d rive from circulutlon the subsidiary -
ary coins , ono-thlid of whoso issue lies idle in
the treasury ut present.
Chairman Wilkins , of Iho committee on
banking and currency , says ho has nn Im
mense quantity of letters and telcginms < ind
petitions fiom various business intcicsts in
Nobiasku , Iowa , Michigan and other central ,
us well as the southern states and the cast ,
in favor of the fractional paper inoiioy. show
ing that its advocates uro confined in no
special locality. Ilobajs the merchants nnd
the people who make purchases of goods by
juuil ulo extremely anxious for this money ,
and tlmt the -newspaper publishers every
where want it because , it can bo so conven
iently transmitted by mall. Most pf the po-
titloneis have uskod far the rcibsuaof the old
fiiictlonul curicncy , not as u substltuto for
silver , Uut to supplement it , especially for
usu in the mails. The proposition to make
this money silver cortillcutes , uud deduct it
from tlio regular issuance of silver ccitili-
c.ite3 , ulso meets with very gciiotal approval ,
und It Is believed that the additional expense
will bo ( jultp trivial , inasmuch oa only
the engraving of the plates will bo ndw ex
pense. Silver curtiflcutes uro being issued
almost constantly , und tho'printing is ubout
the .sumo for the bills of largo und bills of
Him * denomination. Mr. .Wilklns thinks his
bill will past both brunches of congi ess and
become a. law ,
