The Retirement of General Terry.
WASHINGTON BUIIBAU TIIBO'MAIIA. Br.E , 1

WASHINGTON. D. O. . March 00. |
This morning's Washington Post con-
flrras the Bun's statement regarding the
Impending retirement of General Terry by
the following :
"Mnjor Genernl Alfred II. Terry has writ
ten a pursonol letter to the secretary of war ,
unylng ho la In bad health , and requesting to
boonlered before nn army retiring board.
It is known that General Terry has been un
well for some time and has been contem
plating molting this request. He Is now In
command of the division of the Missouri ,
with headquarters In Chicago. Ho suo-
cccdcd General Schoflcld , who was assigned
to the division of the Atlantic when General
Hancock died. General Terry was ap
pointed n colonel in the regular army at the
conclusion of the war , having achieved dis
tinction nnd the rank of major general in the
volunteer army. Ho was chairman of the
board of review appointed by President
Hayes in the case of General Fitz John Porter
ter , and reported In favor of that officer. "
General Terry's request will without doubt
bo granted. Said an army ofllccr this mornIng -
Ing ! "If Terry had not insisted upon'push-
Ing his application ho could readily have been
retained upon sick leave on full piiy until his
tlmo for retirement on account of ago , but
ho wants to leave active service. Ho is a
very sick man and desires to bo relieved of
nil responsibility during the few remaining
years ho has to llvo. The retirement of Gcn
crnl Terry will reopen the old fight for' ad
vancement , both among the brigadiers for
major generalship and among the colonels
lor the promotion to brigadier general. The
contest for General Terry's position will bo
practically narrowed down to Generals Crook
nnil Miles. General Crook is the senior
brigadier , nnd is now in command of the de
partment of the Platte , with headquarters at
Omaha. General Miles is in command of the
department of Arizona. The friends of Gen
eral Crook will urge his claims strongly on
the ground of seniority nnd long and cfll-
cicnt sorvico. The friends of General Miles
v claim for him the honor of the successful ter-
miuiitlon of the Gcronimo campaign , whcro
General Crook had failed because ho obeyed
the 01 dors of the war department. "
General Terry is now on sick leave > nd is
sojourning in Florida. His leave of absence
will shortly expire but his condition will not
warrant his resuming active duty. His
present leave may bo extended for four or
nix months but it seems to bo settled that
ho will not again enfor upon the active duty
of his rank. Under the law an ofllcor who
lias served consecutively for thirty years
maji , upon his own application , with the ap
proval of the president , bo placed on the
retired list. General Terry entered the mili
tary Borvlco in May , 1601 , and not l/aving /
served thirty years cannot ho retired under
that provision of law. Ho may , however , if
found incapnclatcd for nctivo service by a
board of olllcers constituted for that purpose ,
bo retired for physical disability and this
coin-so is likely to bo pursued in his c.iso.
General Terry will bo sixty-ono years of ago
in November next.
Ho entered the service as colonel of the
Seventh Connecticut infantry and served
throughout the late war with marked dis
tinction , attaining the grade of major gen
eral. At the close of the war ho was ap
pointed brigadier general In the general
army and two years ago was promoted to the
grade of general , succeeding to the vacancy
caused by the death of General Hancock.
The retirement of General Terry would
cause an active contest for the vacancy thus
created between the friends of Generals
Crook and Miles. The former Is the senior
brigadier general nnd his claim on account of
seniority is supplemented by distinguished
nnd cfllclcnt services during the war of the
rebellion and in Indian campaigns since ,
General Miles has also n brilliant military
record. Ho stands next to Crook on the lineal
list and the youngest brigadier general in the
line of the army. Ho is i elated by marriage
wljh the Shermans and Camcrons and will
liavo strong social and political backing for
promotion to the ilrst vacancy. General
Crook was a classmate of Gcnuriil Sheridan
nt West Point , nnd it is believed will have
the support ot that ofllccr. Miles entered
the army from civil Ufa In 1S01 ns captain of
the Twenty-second Massachusetts Infantry ,
and with the close of the war was appointed
colonel in the regular army.
A ri.AQHANT DICCACII OP FAITH.
There Is very general and great in
dignation of a Dart of the commlt-
tco on ways nnd means over the prema
ture publication this meriting of the majority
report on the Mills taiiZ bill. Chairman
Mills says it is an outrage , because it is a
breach of confidence , and that ho intends to
hold somebody responsible for it. The re
port got to the press through the private sec
retary of Speaker Carlisle , who is corre
spondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal.
A republican member of the committee re
fers to the breach of trust as being as fla
grant and reprehensible ns would bo the sale
of the president's message by the secretary
of the treasury or public printer. A majority
of the committee denounce the publication
principally bocnuso they had enjoined the
strictest scoi esy upon the republican mem
bers' when the latter wcro secretly permitted
to take copies on Wednesday evening to.bo .
usedns reference in the compilation of the
minority report. Now the document Is made
public through a democrat , and is .given but
u restricted circulation In a garbled form ,
The publication is going to rmiko trouble for
the correspondent who broke faith.
MANDEIIKON ON 8TATB fcl/l.DIKHS' IIOJ1KS.
Senator Mandcrson'H report from the com
mittee on military affairs , recommending the
passage of the bill providing tlmu the federal
government shall pay to state soldiers' homes
$100 n year for every disabled soldier or
BiiUor , and widow ' " ' orphan , who may bo
admitted and caicd for In such homo , is re
garded us ono of the strongest arguments
that could bo made for the passage of tha
measure. The crowded condition of the
Mitlonal hones and the amelioration afforded
by state homes to tlioso who served for the
union In the rebellion and who tire disabled
is made especially strong by Senator Man-
demon's report. Ho shows the necessity of
the federal government assisting the states
in the construction of now homes or the en
largement and maintenance of homes already
in existence so ns to support u larger
number of veterans , since the national
homes arc ovorllowing , ami observes that , in
110 proper sense , can the responsibility fur the
- entire care of the veterans of this war bo cast
upon the states when the local burden always
includes a liberal item of taxation for the
support of thu indents usually found in
every community. The euro and supjwrt of
the indigent and disabled soldier is ebsentl-
ttnlly a federal obligation ho. says , and it Is
neither wise , lust nor patriotic for the nation
by delay or otherwise , to cvndo it.
A tabular statement is submitted , showing
that the number of veterans tn charitable In-
stitutlons. because of their iiovorty , on Octo
ber 15 last , was SS.OM. Of these in Nebraska
there were sixteen veterans and ono depend
ent , in lowaiSJO veterans and 110 dependents.

Your favor of tha fti Inst , enclosing a copy
of a bill to provide aid for statu homo

your Inquiries I have the honor to stnto that
the legislature of thlsMatoono year ago
enacted a law providing for the establish
ment of n soldiers' ' homo at Grand Island ,
Neb. The main building Is now nearly
completed , but no ono 1ml yet been received
into It , When completed the Inmates arc to
bo supported by appropriatons from the
state. The act provides for receiving
nto the institution all soldiers and sailors
, vho have become disabled by reason of
inch sorvico. in the late war-of the rebellion ,
ild ago or other causes , from earning a llvo-
Ihood and who would bo dependent upon
mblio and prlvato charily , and also the
ivlves of such soldiers and sailors
jind their children under the ago of
fifteen years and the widows nnd
children under .ho n < > of fifteen years of
soldiers , sailors and mariners who died within
.ho service of the United States or who wcro
lonorably discharged from such scrvico nnd
ivho have since died , etc , The act establish-
.ng this homo contemplates the erection of
cottages , each on a lot of two and one-half
acres , no that the vntorans who nro able may
do n little in tbo way of cultivation. The act
creating the homo was approved March 4 ,
1887.
I Imvo no suggestions to make in reference
to the bill except to call attention to the
word "disabled. " I trust that that word , ns
used in this act , docs not refer nlono to sol
diers disabled by wound * , but to such also as
nro disabled by reason of service in the war
of the rebellion , or by old ago and other
causes , from earning a livelihood. I most
heartily endorse this measure and trust that
In the Interest of Justice this will become a

CLEVELAND DICTATING FI10.M THE THKONB.
The announcement made at the white
house a few days ago through Prlvato Secretary -
rotary Lament that President Cleveland
was not interfering with or making sugges
tions about the vice presidential candidate ,
and that ho had expressed no preference In
that direction is untrue. It may bo that
Colonel Lnmont .Is Ignorant of what is going
on , but I have indisputable ovldenco that
President Cleveland has stated , during the
past month , to nt least two democratic mem
bers of congress that ho preferred Governor
Gray , of Indiana , nnd that ho hoped the
democrats of that state would give Gray n
solid support in the St. Louis convention.
There can be no doubt about this. I have the
Information from two sources verbally , nnd n
third source In the president's own band
writing. If Governor Gray is nominated for
tno second place on the ticket with President
Cleveland it will raise a largo dlsturbanco in
the democratic ranks in Indiana , unless some
thing is done to passify the feelings enter
tained by the old line democrats against
Gray. This condition of affairs the president
la familiar with , and ho has been informed
that ho must do something to quIctcx-Senator
McDonald , Senator Voorhcs , Colonel Dyck
Bright , and other prominent old line demo
crats now in this city , or they will openly
Uulfo Gray nnd the administration during the
campaign. I understand that the price of their
reconciliation is ttio appointment of cx-Scn-
ntorMcDonald to the vacancy an thesuprcmo
bench caused by the dc.ith of Chief Justice
Wnito : that the friends of ex-Senator Mc
Donald do not ask that lie be appointed to the
chief justiceship , but that ho bo given a place
on the bench in ono capacity or tho. other.
The president , I am informed , docs not take
kindly to the matter , and if ho is persuaded
to make the appointment ho will have to un
dergo a wldo cimngo of mind. Ho regards
ox-Senator McDonald , personally , very
highly , but ho considers him to old for the
position , forgetting that McDonald is moro
vigorous than Laniar , who wan but recently
taken from the interior department , whcro
ho was too ancient for active duty , and placed
on the bench.
PENSIONING MRS. LOOAN AND MHS. I1LA1II.
The house to-day passed the scnato bills
placing on the pension rolls at $2,000 a year
each , the widows of the late Generals John
A. Logan , of Illinois , and Frank P. Blair , of
Missouri. The vote on the first bill was 154
to 95 and on the latter 148 to 01. The bulk of
the votes against tbo bills were from the
south , although many northern democrats
opposed them. Only two republicans voted
"no , " They were Cheadlo of Indiana , and
Flood of Now York. Cheadlo was a prlvato
in Iho union army and voted against the bills
on general princiulcs. He docs not bcllcvo
that the widows of commissioned olllcers are
entitled to uny mote pension than those of
privates ' , who encountered equal hardships
and'dangers and whoso lives wcro as sweet
to themselves and precious to their families
as of those in command. This was the ground
of opposition of most of tha opponents of the
bills. There was some- confed
erate outcropplngs in the many
speeches delivered in opposition to the meas
ure , especially while Bourke Cochran of New-
York , was speaking in advocacy of the
Logan bill. When he intimated broadly that
had the war terminated to the contrary of
what it did there was a probability that
tlioso who fonght for the union would not
have been so generously received by the vic
tors as was true the way it terminated , the
canfedorates sprang to their foot In nngor
and entered protests. All of the Illinois
members voted for the .Logan bill and all of
the Missouri members for tbo Blair bill , ex
cepting Hatch and Burns. The votes on the
two bills wcro in detail almost Identical , the
decrease in the vote on the Blair bill when
compared to that on the Logan hill being duo
to members leaving tbo house after the pass
age of the Logan bill , All of the Nebraska
and Iowa members voted for both bills , the
Logan bill having been introduced in tbo
house by Mr. McShunc.

young man for whom relief was asked was

The CloHinR SoRilcm.
FIIBMONT , Nob. , March 30. [ Special to
the BEE. ] The closing session of the stnto
teachers' association was hold at the Congre
gational church last.evenlng. There was a
largo nnd intelligent audience present and
the session proved to bo the best of the scries.
The exercises were begun with a song by the
Wayne quartette , entitled "Evening Bells. "
President Farnham then introduced the Rev.
Dr. Magoun , of Iowa college , who addressed
the , audience upon "Somo Additions to and
Subtractions From the Work of the Schools. "
All elements of progress , ho said , wcro de
duced to addition and subtraction. The
question is , Which will help us on I Ho would
treat of only a part of the school system as
relating to addition ana subtraction from i
The wide demand for changes in spelling and
pronunciation shows the tendency toward
changes. The matter of spoiling seems to
have resolved Itself into not how to spell , but
Shall wo spoil at all ) Ono of the
flagrant errors of the Bchools is
their failure to tenuh spelling. If
the use of fewer letters will assist In bringing
about better spelling , then let us have fewer
letters.
An important addition to school wont
should bo a firm , unyielding character , based
upon honor and right. Our schools , from the
primaries up , should bo seminaries of morals.
Ho would give his vote for the increase of
ethical culture in the school. Ho would also
teach the pupil a love and regard for his
country. For a whole generation ho has been
arguing for this , if needs be , by an infringe
ment upon-tho "thrco K's. ' "
Ho would also teach them temperance.
Why did it not occur to teachers that this
should bo done , before moral reformers
thrust it upon them ! Wo tcaoh the children
other important things touching their best
interests , and why not teach them temper
ance t
In the matter of subtracting Greek ho felt
somewhat perplexed. It may last forever as
a language in which may bo expressed the
finest thought , but it must keep its place and
allow the sciences tbo same
glorious privilege. Let us teach
the multitude what the multitude most
needs. Lot the scientific Abraham and
classic Lot como to nn amicable and satis
factory division. The majority Uo not want
science merely for the knowledge but for its
practical use. There should be nn. addition
of Greek for some and a subtraction of
Greek for others.
Ho would also add Industrial education to
the school works. Ho would have each pupil
follow tbo bent of his mind. It'ls a mistake
to spoil n good machinist to make a me
diocre merchant. Wo need moro schools with
work shops attached. Drawing is gaining
the place where it belongs. The state funde
should not bo voted for the professional
schools without voting it in a courospond-
ingly larger amount for the working man at
the lower end of the lino.
Prof. K. J. Potter , of Clarks , then road his
report of ths committee on exhibits. There
were exactly fifty schools represented. Con
sidering it was the first exhibit ever at
tempted ut the state association , it was a
grand showing. The committee recom
mended that it bo continued hereafter , and
wcro confident these exhibits Would bo 01
great value in the upbuilding of the schools
of Nebraska.
Among the moro important resolutions the
following are of general interest :
Ilcsolved , That wo consider the Nebraska
exhibit of school work a most decided suc
cess.
cess.Hesolvcd , That wo hereby express our
appreciation of the addresses delivered bi
Hon. M. Li. Hayward mid Dr. George Ma
goun.
Hcsolved , That wo express our recog
nition of tlioso teachers who dur
ing the storm of January 12 , performed
deeds of heroism and manifested their SOUTH
sense in caring for the children under their
charge. Their bravo self-sacrificing devo
tion to duty , is worthy 9f the highest com
mendation. Their unyielding courage has
reflected credit upon the profession by dem
onstrating that loyalty to duty and love for
humanity which ever actuates the true
teacher ,
Hesolvcd , That the encouragement nnd
approval of this association bo extended to
all wise efforts to grade the rural schools and
teachers' institutes into the educational
unity of the stato.
Resolved , That the president of the asso
ciation appoint a committee consisting of two
members from each section , who , togothei
with the state superintendent , shall consti
tute a board of educational council. It shall
bo the duty of the board to consider the gen
eral educational needs of the state and to
recommend ways and means whereby the
educational forces nnd agencies of the state
may bo moro wisely directed in the line of
progress.
Tlio president appointed the following com'
mltteo In response to the last above : Chan

tcndent McClusky nnd Superintendents
Boyd , Ebright and Smith.
TIlltimUY A1TKRNOOX.
Tlio session yesterday afternoon was devoted >
voted to a discussion of the general subject
of "Legislation. " The first paper read or
this was by State Superintendent Lane on
"Qualifications of County Superintendent !
and Institute Instructors. " Mr. Lane gave
it a very exhaustive discussion for an hour
and a half. Ho offered many valuable sug
gcstlons as to the proper qualifications for
these , and set the standard so high as to al
most discourage the superintendents who
heard the address. Superintendent R. H
Longford , of Lincoln county , followed in the
discussion and offered some good thoughts on
the subject.
The next toplo was , "Tho Existing Toxl
Book System. " This was by Prof. James , of
Omaha , and W. H. Allwmo , of North Platte
Tlio general drift of discussion and opinion
was in favor of free books for the public
schools. The idea , however , of the state fur
nishfiigthcm was deprecated. The bettor
plan is for the county or townships to furnisl
them , The state could not toll best what the
immediate needs of the various sections are
There could not well bo a state uniformity o
books , for the reason that a course of study
adapted to the necessities of the country
school would not bo likely to suit the towi

THE RICH Hlblj DISASTER.
Twcnty-oiiQ Dead nnd Nine Others Not
Expected to Live.
Ricn HILL , Mo , March 80. Only thirty-
five men were in. ' the shaft when the explosion -
plosion occurred ycsserday. Thus far flvo
have been taken out dead and fifteen alive.
Most of the latter have suffered intensely
from fire and suffocation and their recovery
is very doubtful , f Fifteen now remain in the
mine , and it is believed mpst ot them will betaken
taken out dead.SfaoYiWork.ol rescue , pro
cecds very slowjy .belnp attended with' great
danger.
The situation'may bo summarized as fol
lows : The dead list "has reached twenty-one ,
and nine of the injured nro expected to die ,
making the probable loss of life by the ex
plosion thirty. Some claim natural gas was
the causa of the explosion , while others
contend that the accumulation of foul
gases without proper ventilation was the real
cause. The state mine inspector cxaminad
the mine March 0 , and pronounced it safe.
The Richfield Herald this evening strongly
denounces him and demands his immediate
suspension from office.
The only air shaft the mine had was a sec
tion partitioned off the main shaft , ana this
was blown to pieces by the first explosion.
Consequently no air could bo forced into the
mine until the south half of the crib
shaft had been converted Into an air
conduit. There seems to bo no question but
that the explosion was caused by natural gas
which abounds in the earth in a largo section
of country hereabouts. Frequent explosions
and great damage from it have occurred hero
boforo. The state mine inspector ,
though having reported the tnino in
excellent condition , know of tha existence
of this gas in the vicinity of the mine and
has frequently so stated unofficially.
Such great indignation prevails among the
miners that it would bo dangerous for the inspector
specter to put -in an appearance hero.
Experienced miners say if there
had been a separate air shaft the consequences
quences would have been much loss disas
trous.
The bodies of the dead brought up are terribly
ribly burned and present a horrible sight.
IT WAS HER DREAM.
A Shocking Death Foretold By a
Young Woman.
CAnTiuon , III. , March SO. A strange Incl

people who believe in the fulfillment of

A General Strike On the Fort AVayno
lilno Among 'tho Probabil
ities Switchmen Strike
At Qulncy.
Iilvely Times in Chicago.
CntOAoo , March 30. The St. Paul yard
men who started to go to work last night nt
10 o'clock had but begun to got their engines
started when a tnoasngo came to the Western
avcnuo roundhouse that all mon should wait
until Assistant General Superintendent
Earllng had scon them before resuming
work , Earllng stated the case briefly to the
mon as ho understood it , and then said : "Wo
have submitted to many acts that wo Imvo
considered unjustifiable on your part. This
nf tcrnoon the mon In our employ deliberately
derailed nnd'wrocked a number of cars that
are our property. Wo will consent to over
look this and you can go to work , but the
first thing that Is dona will bo to replace
these cars upon the track. " This the men
positively refused to do as the cars were
pulled by a "Q. " onglno. The strikers hung
around , for awhllo and ono by ono went homo.
Tbo strike was on.
The men who struck last night embraced
twenty-four switching crows , a total of 120
men. They hold n big meeting in a hall
adjacent to the roundhouse , lasting until late
this morning. They were cnthuslastio in the
position they had taken.
The switchmen , engineers nnd flrcmon of
the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul , who
struck , yesterday , assembled at the yards at
Western avenue and Klnzio street this morn-
mi ? , but none of them wont to work. They
are reticent nnd refuse to talk of their action
or outline their demands , but wcro unani
mous not to return to work. o
Superintendent Collins , of the St. Paul ,
said this morning that his company would at
once begin preparations to secure now
switchmen and switch engineers to take the
places vacated by the strikers yesterday. Ho
said the St. Paul , being a direct competitor
of the "Q , " had maintained a neutral position
since the Burlington engineers went out , and
ho knows no reason why the switchmen
quit work.
Switchman Quirk , who was arrested last
night charged with having struck a Burling
ton engineer , was before n Justice this morn
ing. The prisoner was dismissed with a to
fine and costs.
The riot ot yesterday had its effect on the
now switchmen in the cmployof the Burling
ton. Only those whoso duties kept thorn
within the "Q" yards were on duty this
morning. These delegated to work with en
gines along the trades between the different ,
points refused to go to work unless they
were given arms to defend them
selves if sot upon by the strikers.
They stood about the "Q" yards at
Western avenue , steadfastly refusing to
risk themselves on the outsidoof the engines.
There wcro ten engines nt work at 9 o'clock '
this morning and matters wore going smooth
ly. Nine trains of stock are expected at the
yards. If "Q. " switchmen attempt to take
them into the yard , it is likely a collision be
tween union switchmen at the yards and the
"Q. " men will result.
Ninety-eight switchmen from the Reading
road arrived in the city lost night over the
Fort Wayne roadJ.Theyl wqyo taken
to the Briggs house , where thby encountered
several strikers at the entrance. The
new arrivals wcro warned not
to go to woric on the "Q. " and n qu&rrol ensued -
sued in which the Heading men drew their
revolvers nnd declared they would protect
themselves if interfered with. This morning
they were escorted to the "Q. " yards by
Pinkerton mon. Twenty-seven moro switch
men from the east arrived this morning.
This morning at 0 o'clock a train of stock
cars left the "Q. " yards at Western avenue
for the stock yards , with fourteen
Pankorton men guarding It. As the train
passed a Chicago , St. Louis & Pitts-
durg cngino a brakcmati on the latter
throw two coupling pins at the crew of the
"Q" engine , ono of them striking W. W.
Thomas , fireman , in the righfc eye , knocking
him senseless. The town of Lake policeman
saw the occurrence , but made no effort to ar
rest the man who threw the pin. A Pinker-
man at once telegraphed Western avcnuo
station to have the crow of the Chicago , St.
Louis & Pittsburg cngino arrested , and
trouble is likely to result. The second train
reached the stock yards at 10:30. : As the
train passed the Chicago & Alton crossing ,
somebody throw a conplo pin nt the switch
men on top of the cars. It struck ono of
them , but did no injury.
After the early violence at tno stockyards ,
Burlington business went on steadily and by
noon nine trains of stock had been sent out.
General Manager Stone gave instructions
for a reduction of the force of men in the
Burlington shops at Aurora necessitated by
the burning of the paint shops and expenses
of the strike.
No work has been done by the regular St.
Paul switchmen this morning , but the ofll-
clals of the road succeeded in moving out the
now cars which caused yesterday's trouble ,
under a guard of Plnkerton men. The
strikers , however , did not attempt to inter
fere with the workmen.
Chief Arthur was questioned to-day as to
the attitude of the brotherhood toward the
St. Paul strikers.
"Tho trouble on the St. Paul road yester
day , " said ho , "was an affair for which the
men are Individually responsible. I know
nothing of it until some time after its occur
rence. "
"But will the brotherhood men who strilco
without authority rcccivo financial aid from
tlio order J"
"No , sir ; not a cent. "
Mr , Arthur once moro denied positively
the rumored combination between switchmen
and engineers. Ho loft tills evening for
Cleveland , where ho will call nn executive
committee meeting and levy general assist
ance for the prosecution of the Burlington
strike.
As an evidence that the rumors of dlssen
slons and disappointment at the conservative
action of Chief Arthur are imaginary , the
chairmen of the griovunco committees of all
roads centering hero to-day drew up a long
sot of resolutions expressing the utmost con-
lldcnco in Arthur , and expressing a willing
ness to maintain him in anything ho may see
lit to do.
Increasing tlio Guards.
CHICAGO , Marcli ( JO. The force of armed
men at the Burlington yards was increased
to-day by fifty and the now engineers and
flromcn wcro provided with arms also to a
large extent , the rest being promised arms at
onco.
At the headquarters of the brotherhood
this evening an extension of the strike to
the Fort Wuyno line was considered as
considered as .among the possibilities of the
future , but whether as a result of the meet
ing this afternoon would not bo stated ,
Tlio announcement was made authorativoly
that the brotherhood on the Milwaukee &
St. Paul road from Chicago to Savannah ,
Ills. , and Milwaukee had loft their engines
and would stay out till their "Q" trouble was
settled. It was thought that unles.3 they
went back within a very short tlmo a gen
eral strike on tlio St. Paul system would re
sult , and the general boycott has already ex
tended to that road , pending an adjustment
of the matter , The engineers and firemen
who run from hero to Savannah llvo for the
moat part in Chicago , mid they loft their en
gines in the round house this morning and
came homo on passenger trains , The Mil
waukee engineers abandoned their engines
at that point. About 250 mon , it was as
sorted at the brotherhood headquarters , aia
out on the Milwaukee and St. Paul ,
The St. Paul's Trouble.
MILWAUKEB , March 80 , Manager Miller ,
of the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul road ,
in an interview with the Associated press re-
wrier this morning , said there was no truth
.n the statement made by the switchmen nt
Chicago that the St. Paul company had been
secretly aiding the "Q. " company. "Tho
trouble Is , " said Miller , "that tno Chicago
switchmen have combined to make v thor
ough boycott against the "O. " company , and
in sympathy with the movement ,
our mon refused to handle some
new cars brought to us by the Burlington
road from a factory on their linos. Wo told
men if they did not hnndlo the cars they could
not handle anything. No other point will bo
affected. Wo nro using our road men In the
places of the striking switchmen and they
will stay there until wo can get now pang * .
Wo will continue to rcoolvo nnd deliver
freight nt Chicago , but will request our ter
minal agents to case up a llttlo on us for a few
days. " There are no freight trains
moving on the Chicago division of thoSt <
Paul road this morning. Ono stock train
wont out early , but since then nothing in the
freight line has gone over the road. Every
thing is quiet at the yards hero. ,
At 1 o'clock to-day the situation nero wan
unchanged , but the general situation had
grown moro complicated from the fact that a
number of freight conductors on the Pralno
Du Chotn and La Crosse divisions had been
ordered to Chicago to do switching in place
of the strikers. Ono Milwaukee switchman
Raid this afternoon that an Order to unit
work is liable to come to tbo Milwaukee
division before night. The brftkemen sympa
thize with the switchman nnd would not take
their places if a strike is ordered.
Manager Miller nald passenger trains have
all been running to-day nnd the probability
Is that the running of freight trains will bo
resumed to-morrow.
All of the cngino dispatchers employed in
the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul round
houses . -wcro called to headquarters this
morning and offered the places made vacant
by the strilco of Chicago switch engineers ,
but they declined to a man. To-night it was
reported'that freight conductors all along
the line nad been ordered to Chicago to take
the strikers places , and n meeting of the
switchmen vms called , Nothing can bo
learned as to their Intentions.
General Manager Miller said they wcro
rapidly filling the places ot thr strikers. "At
present , " ho said , "wo nro manning our
yard engines with crows from off the road
and they will do the work until wo secure
experienced switchmen. "
