Strike following strike In rapid succession wns the rcs'ult to- dny of the Burlington road's first attempt to resume forcing freight on other roads. Almost at the very outset a strike occurred on the Fort Wayne system , Involving for the llrst time nn undoubted extension of the trouble to roads leading cast from Chicago. J'he St. Paul road had been completely tied up between midnight nnd daylight , and Cliairmsn Hoge , leader of tlio brotherhood in the absence of Chief Arthur , intimated early that before another midnight there might bo precipitated n succession of strikes unpara- lelcd in the city. One on the Panhandle occurred ns early ns 7 a. in. , but was overcome by the ofllcials showing that no workman had been asked to handle Burlington cars. At 10 a. in. the Burlington made up n train of fifteen cars which was quietly transferred to the Fort Wayne road , while at the same time twenty-live cars were made up aul started for the Lake Shore road , with forty Pinkerton men aboard. The transfer , how ever , was made without disturbance. At 2 p. in. the Fort Wayne ofllcials ordered a switching crew to take n "Q" train from the siding at Sixteenth street and place it on the Fort Wnyno tracks. Tlio men promptly refused and ran their engines in. The news spread , and in a few moments all tlio crews in the yards quit work , engineers , firemen and switchmen. Just then the 2:20 : Fort Wayne passenger train outward bound came along. At Sixteenth street the engineer and fireman learned of the strike nnd left the engine. The conductor soon volunteered to run the engine , n fireman was found , and the train proceeded after a slight delay. Fort Wayne dispatches sny they have assurances from the other passenger engineers that they would not go out , but not a great deal of dependence is placed in them. Along the line of the St. Paul road freight business was paralyzed , and passenger trafllc almost suspended. As soon ns in-bound pus- senger trains reached the depot nnd were un loaded the engineers backed them out to Western avenue and abandoned them. This afternoon the engineers , firemen and switchmen of the St. Paul road held a meet ing and sent a committee to Superintendent Earling. They stated to him they would ngreo to handle empty but not loaded "Q" cars. Earling asked them to submit their proposition in writing , and agreed to forward it to General Manager Miller at Milwaukee. Switchmen Come to Blow. Tilings looked rather warlike at the Union Pacific yards near Sixth and Pacific .streets about 0iO : : last evening , and rumors rapidly spread that a riot was in progress. Over five hundred persons quickly gnthoied at that point to find a squad of Plnkcrton specials standing in front of a crowd of railroad men , and one of the olllcors with his hand on his revolver threatening to put a bullet through some unknown person who had thrown n missile at him. The trouble originated in a fight bet-"en Union Pacific switchmen and 1) . & M. scabs. From the llr.st there has been bad blood and uncivil words between them , and matters finally came to a crisis last evening when the 13. & M. scabs had backed n couple of cars on the Union Pacific tracks , This brought three or four of the belligerent workmen face to face and an interchange of epithets followed. Finally one of tlio Union Pacific switchmen struck a B. it M. scab and a funous light ensued , in which the scab got badly used up. His nose was bleeding , his face was covered with contusions and both his eyes were in mourning. One of tlio scabs gave the alarm for the Pinkenon ofliccrs to come to the rescue and stood yelling nnd frantically waving hi ? lint. One of the Union Pacific men ran up behind him nnd struck him a blow that felled him to the ground. It. is reported that two or three of the Union Pacific switchmen then jumped upon him and proceeded to pound and kick him unmercifully. The Pinkcrtons soon arrived on the scene , but by this time tlio aggressive parties in the light were lost In the multitude. The crowd fatood and Jeered the Chicago importations and some of tlio small boys commenced throwing chunks of mud nt them. A piece struck one of thorn in ( ho back , when , placing tiis hand on his revolver , ho angrily cried : "Jf I knew tno who throw that I would put a bullet through him. " "That is Just what wo want you to do , " siild a stalwart young follow , stepping for ward , "Put a bullet through one of us and \vn will settle this mutter right hero. " This had a subduing effort on the Pinkerton - ton man , but ho still continued cursing tlio follow who hit him , whereupon a switchman pulled his coat and said : "You Just step oft t'int ' U. it M. track nod. come down hero where you have no authority and we'll give you what you deserve for your fresh ness. " The olllcer declined the Invitation and the Pinkerton men then ordered the crowd to disperse , but the crowd threatened to mob them if they dared show any violence , nnd commenced to press forward as though they would do so anyway. The fourteen Pinkerton men began to tuko nlurm and huddled up together with their hands on their revolvers. They looked as though they wished they were back in Chicago cage , whor the faro of Oflleer Charley Bloom loomed up in the ulbtanco , much to their re lief , f.'liurioj walked up to the crowd , told them it would not do to obstruct the street In such manner ami bald they would have tx disperse. His words wore like magic , for the ciowd immediately began to scatter , and In tlireo minutes thu Pinkerton men hud the Hi'hi lo themselves. Earlier in the day , while au ex-switch man was passing down the tr.ick that ib used a.s a thoroughfare by people In that part of the town , a Pinkerton man threatened to club him , and u switchman tore the club from his grasp and told him that ho hud 11 notion to use it over his head and give him borne Idea of how badly it felt. Ho then rctuincd the club to the ofllcer. It was thought best by the chief of police to iiic-rcaso the number of special ottlcers in that vicinity to bo ready in cose of any emergency , us it was made apparent by lust night's demonstration that the Piukerton men are almost powerless. The mystery of the freight car that was set loose on the bleep incline of the B. Jt M. track Krlaay night and which came so near causing terrible disaster , it ; slill unexplained. Some perbOji or pen > ons with switch keys have also been maliciously misplacing tiio switches. The Pinkerton 'detectives are busily engaged ou both these cases swd will do nil In their power to ferret out the o ( Ten ders and bring them to punishment.

Cnicvao , March 31-t-Tho train of Burling ton cars that had becii shoved UHn | the Lnko Shore tracks during the morning was not touched until well along in the afternoon. Finally the order wns given by the Lake Shore ofllcinls that the cars bo cared for and sent along toward their destination in the east. To thr surprise of the company's rep resentatives the order was obeyed. No other Burlington cars were In sight , nnd there was nothing apparent to disturb the serenity of the men or their superiors , but talk of n strike wns redoubled. It soon came to bo understood that the cars were handled more ns n temporary shift , nnd that a strike might bo Inaugurated at any moment , It was currently rumored nt the stock yards to-night that nil of the switchmen , englncmcn and firemen employed by the Union Stock Yards and Transit company , which has exclusive charge of all cars re ceived at the yards , would go out before Monday. The company handled a number of Burlington ears to-day. At n meeting of railroad employes to-night it was decided to nt oneo inaugurate a strike in this eity on the Lake Shore , Alton , Pan Handle , Fort Wnyno nnd Santa Fo roads. As near as can bo ascertained the order to strike on nil roads means only a tie up of the yards in this city , tbo roads outsldo not ns yet being Involved.

The Burlington engi neers nnd llremcn appear to bo actively en gaged in collecting Information concerning the management of the road since the strike began. They have miulo charges before the Illinois railroad commissioners , and Tuesday will begin offering testimony to sustain the charges. Testimony ns to the incompetcncy of the engineers will bo offered tinder six teen different specifications. On the other hand efforts nro being made to show that the new men are not incompetent. Eight Bur lington conductors and , yardmen have signed a statement to this effect , after having worked with the new men in the Chicago yards the past week. Much speculation is being indulged in re garding Chief Arthur's departure for Cole rado. Some ncwspa ] > ers and railroad offi cials , particularly those of the Burlington , regard it as an acknowledgement on Ills part that the Burlington strike is a failure , and ho is digusted with tlio new turn of affairs. The chairman of the. engineers' press com mittee emphatically deny these statements , On Duty as Uminl. MILW\UKcn , March 31 , All night crews in the St. Paul yards reported for duty at the usual time to-night , nnd ns far as this point is concerned there Is nothing indicating the ex istence of a strike.

They were brought hero by tlio St. Paul people to fill the places of the striking engineers , fire men and switchmen , and all seemed anxious to get a chance to null a throttle or throw a switch. Jerry Doaerty , who is the lender of the striking switch engineers , got down to the roundhouse where the men who hnvo been imported from the Council Bluffs division were stationed. Ho talked with the men and gained their sympathy and they declared that they had now scabbed a day In their lives and never .ivould. Mr. Doherty was very Jubilant and b'qgnn talking loud enough to be heard by eight of the St. Paul blue coats who ordered him to. leave tlio yards. He refused and said : "I want to get my time. " Doherty wns allowed to remain in the yards until he received his time check. The now men were not so nnxlous to < lo switching as they were nn hour previous. The climax was reached when one of their number came up and said : "Como ahead boys. They want us down in the middle of the. yards. " "They don't get us down there , " was the reply that came to'tho call. Tlio men finally agreed to go down nnd f > eo what was wanted of them , and on the way a captain wus appointed and the men fell in line with a Council BlufTs conductor nt the bend. Tlio men had only gone down the track about two hundred feet when one of them suggested that if the St. Paul people wanted them they would have to como down and make their proposal. The men all agreed and marched back to the round house , whore they awaited the delegation of St Paul officials. The men say that they will art as conductors or engineers but will not throw n switch.

LonsviM.i : , March .11. A Courier .lournnl Washington special says : The report of the minority of the ways mid means committee drawn up by McKinlcy against the passage of the Mills bill , attacks vigorously the free 1st , vehemently denounces free wool mid free tin ulute. It says , regarding wool , that the first cITort in the direction of free trade is aimed at tlio organized farmers of the country , who , fur removed from centers of trade , and unadvised that their intcrcsls were to bo dealt an unfriendly blow , arc to bo the first victims of the British policy. Thelr's is a largo interest , few in the country nro larger. Free wool will bo of no permanent benefit to the manufacturer or consumer , but a positive loss to both , and a great loss to flock masters and those depending upon them for employment. The decay of sheep hus bandry in the United States would bo n national calamity. Tlio report asserts that great business interests of the country , so largely represented by manufacturers , were treated with silent contempt , nnd against the earnest protest of the minority these Interests were not as much as allowed the right of petition guaranteed to every American citi zen.

His ofllcial work to-day was unus ually prolonged. In the afternoon ho took a drive lasting an hour , nnd was received with enthusiasm and ringing hurrahs along the route. The weather was extremely mild. The carriage was driven slowly and the cm- poror was fully seen. Ho looke'd well , tho. only trace of his Illness being n waxy com plexion. Despite the semblance of health and increased power , the German expert opinion is that the disease will have an early and fatal termination is still unaltered. Tlio progressist hopes for the speedy Introduction - troduction of liberal reforms under Kinperor Fredericic , though chilled by the Bismnrcklan tone of his proclamation , nave been revived by the prospects of the prolongation of hid life.

" The sudden change in the position of the French political parties has reawakened ap prehensions for the Immediate future.

If the dissolution of the chamber produces a strong Boulnngcr party , it will betaken taken here us equivalent to a popular vote for war , and the convenience of Uio French to begin it will not be awaited. The entire press' of the country realises the danger of the po sition. The Nntioiial Zeitung hopes the cham ber of deputies will yet find n way to save the state from the war party , but dispairs of the republic unless President Carnet can ob tain n strong ministry , having u programme of peace. No paper in Germany or Austria , however radical , 1ms the slightest sympathy with the Boulnngcr movement. The temp orary confidence of the German people In Russian peace protests Is vanishing. Au- thoritivo dispatches pronounce Uussian ac tion imminent. The emperor's amnesty degree has been is- sued.
