CIIICAOO , March .ti. 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.

Handled tln > "Q. " Curs.
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 men nro very reti
cent.

Complaints'AtfaliiKt the "Q. "
Ciuovdo , March 31. During the day as
many ns a dorcn men called on the mayor
with complaints against the Chicago , Bur.-
lington it Qulncy mnnngcrs. They claimed
they were Induced to como hero from the
cast by promises of positions ns brukcmcn ,
switchmen , etc. , but on their arrival were
declared incompetent nnd refused cither
work or transportation homo again. They
claim to be without money nnd in n bad
plight , and say they lm\o ns companions In
their misery two or three hundred others
whose condition is exactly similar. The
mayor promised to see the Burlington pee
ple.
Collecting Testimony.
CHICAGO , March 81. 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. The men say all freight
loaded to day > vill bo.'mndled , but there is no
certainty what will l"0 lie 3 to-morrow. The
company is turning f.HjIqht for Chicago over
to the Northw'cstorii
General Manager Seller said , to-night that
in view of the situation ho did not feel war
ranted in saying much about the intentions
of tlio company in the event of certain contin-
creiicics.
niulT * Men On the Fence.
Ciuc too , March 31. [ Special Telegram to
the Bin. ] Fifty men , who are regular
freight and passenger conductors on the
Council Bluffs division of the St. Paul , ar
rived nt the roundhouse this morning. 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.
Unwildni ; to Strike.
.TAXI-.IVIM.K , WisJ March ill. A train load

ynrdmnstcrs , recruited from the Prairie du
Cliein and Mlner.il Point divisions , left for
Chicago thismoinln'gtotakotho places of the
strikers in the swtch | yards.
The employes of thu road nt .Tancsvillo any
an order to strike will bo obeyed with great
reluctance by the uioji outside of Chicago , as
work is hard to get and all are anxious to
hold their places.They will sustain the
fctrikcra at Chicdgo iiowovor , and an assess
ment for that purpose has already been
levied. ' .
Arthur Interviewed.
Ci.Kvni.iM > , March 31. In nn interview
this evening Chief Engineer Aithur dis
claimed any responsibility for connection
with the now Htrikos in Chicago. Ho said
the men will not receive the support of the
brotherhood , unless circumstances arise
which would iuduoe him to sanction the
strike. Ho thinks tlieso latest affairs are
purely loeSl and will boon bo over-believing
that the roads will reconsider tholr'actlon in
compelling thum'to ' lmmllo"Q" curs. Ho did
not think the strike would become general
and added that If the general oflicers had
listened to the hothead's Importunities every
road in the country would huvo been tied

WASHINGTON. D. C. , March 31. |
Mr. Dorsey has submitted to the house
committee on Pacific railroads the following
Important amendment to the extension bill :
It is further provided that nothing in this
net , nor In any of the nets of which this net
is amendatory , shall bo construed or inter
preted so as to deny the right of any state in
which the Union Pacific railway or the cen
tral branch of the Union Pacific road is oper
ated to fix rates for carrying passengers or
freight over said roads , nnd to control nnd
regulate such roads the same ns if they were
organized under the state.
It is understood that the committee will ac
cept this amendment , which will bo suo-
mittcd to the house nt the proper time. The
representatives of all the states interested
earnestly favor such an amendment , nnd to
secure their support for the extension bill ,
the Pacific railroad committee will bo
obliged to allow such modifications of
the bill as will place tlio Pacific
railroads on the name. footing ns
other railroads doing business within the
states. If this amendment is adopted it will
be to the interest of the railroads from the
fact that it will allay the stromr feeling that
exists in the minds of the people against the
roads chartered by congress.
The Outhwaitc bill comes up again for final
action in the house week after next.

IAUI ) INVESTIGATION AITUHMATII ,
At a meeting of the house committee on
agriculture to-day a sub-committco composed
of Chairman Hatch and Messrs. Davis and
Laird , wns appointed to examine the state
ments made before the committee recently by
William M. Bartel , of St. Louis and make n
recommendation as to what action
will bo proper lor the commit
tee to take upon the matter. Bartel
is the man who made the sensational state
ments about it being n common tiling for
pork packers to slaughter cholera and other
diseased hogs , stags , boars , piggy sows and
crippled and smothered hogs , and manufac
ture them into prime steam lard , which they
sold as wholesome and good food , and which
statements have brought an avalanche of
protests from pork packers throughout the
country. The committee believe that the
statements should not be printed , and that
the committee should repudiate them and
send n statement to the country to that cl-
fect.

ho would veto the river and harbor bill ; that
he did not proK | > so to sign a bill appropriat

By the end of next week the republican
members of the house expect to ho able to
lay before the caucus committee the result
of u complete canvass of the entire repub
lican membership on the question of tanII
reform , Some two or three weeks ngo at a
caucus a steering committee was appointed
with a view to securing in the quickest time ,
and in the most correct way possible ,
the sentiment of the party and re
port at a subsequent meeting. The
steering committee has requested that
the htato delegations hold meetings and
submit a written statement of the fouling on
thu subject of tariff reform , giviiii ; briefly
Just what every member wants. This work
has been going on very carefully and
thoroughly and when it is all in it will en
able thu members who will bo selected to
compile the tariff bill which thu minority
will present , If indeed they do p-escnt one ,
to came us nearly as possible to meeting the
demands of the whole parly. The result of
this canvass is expected to bo In the hands of
thu sleerintf committee Before the debate on
the Mills bills is begun. The ( ampliation
of the minority tariff bill will follow very
shortly nfler and will be ready some lnao
before the previous question is called on
the Mills bill. The system with which the
republicans have gone about their work
shown that they Intend to work harmoniously
and sland solidly together in whatever
they do.

The Minority Kepnrt.
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.

DniiMx , March 31. The emperor slept
eight hours last night almost without n
break. 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 conservative papers the
say pro
gressist programme overlooks the permanent
physical disability of the emperor , nnd the
fact that nt the last council of ministers nnd
other high officers of state , after Bismarck
hn-1 stated formally his homo and foreign
policy , the emperor intimated entire acquies
cence nnd complete confidence In the grcatj , ,
minister. "
The sudden change in the position of the
French political parties has reawakened ap
prehensions for the Immediate future. Bou-
langcr is now felt to bo no spectral shadow ,
but a substantial force , thrcnteningtliopcnco
of Europe. 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. The offenses to which it applies are :
Insulting the sovereign , crimes nnd misdemeanors -
demeanors in the exercise of civil rights , in
sulting or resisting ofllcers of the law , dis
turbing public ordci , press offenses , Infrac
tions of law of public meetings , etc.
