ON THE WANE.
The Dying ThrOeS Of the
Strike Bring the
DiSailcCted
Face TO Face With the Fact
that their Interests are
Identical
With Those OF the Companies
Whose Simulated Prosperity
Lead TO the Strike.
The Texas and Pacific on the
Edge Of an Active
Crater.
Every solution OF the Dlnlcalty Pre-.

Commerce and Public
convenience.
The Suspense is Becoming Crushing in Its
Weight Both Parties on tho Watch
Tower The Result as Forecast
by Incidents Of the Day.

The Result OF the TEXAS ami Pacific
Lock ns Forecast by incidents of the
nay.
There il a calm in the condition Of
affairs on the Texas and Pacific.
Whether the calm is indicative Of the
early settlement of affairs in al ami
cable manner, or whether 1t IL the lull
pending the battle OF the giants, is n
matter of conjecture. AZ far as we
can foretell, the situation has not im-
proved, and everything has the APP
pearance that the company do not In
tend to make many concessions. The
officers at Marshall are but the mouths
pieces of the head.center Mt Philadel.
phia, and he has spoken regarding the
matter in Pennsylvania, which may
be taken rs the keynote OF
his line of policy here. Tom
Scott made this statement In
answer to inquiries. III the people
of Pennsylvania, can do without the
Central road, the Central road can
do without the employees" VIII that
policy govern the Texas and Pacific
an appendage OF the Pennsylvania
Central?
The fact that "A forty-eight hours ar
mistice was asked for seems to point
to the same line of action here. Fors
ty.eight hours may bring forth great
results il has set other lines at work.
The Iron Mountain has resumed bust
ness, ana communication IL now open
to the east, except so far as the Texas
and Pacific line extends. We are sorry
to say that nothing which has been
said or done by tho officers OF the
Texas and Pacific road goes to
show that they intend making
any compromise, unless 1t may be that
the back pay will be forthcoming, as
soon as possible. The men at Mar
shall have been there for some days,
and have been on expenses every day
and hour. Should the forty-cight
hours elapse, and no favorable action
on behalf OF the men he taken by the
company, they are SO much the poorer,
and less ab To continue the struggle.
This may brinL about a condition OF
affairs, which, while not benetitting
the company, still will bear much
harder on the men, and the CONNER
ciaI interests OF our state. Merchants
and business men OF oil kinds viii
suiler, and II the connecting lines Rfe
operating, they will demand the re-
sumption of work OF the Texas and
Pacific.
The following incidents, which oc>
CURED to-day, go to strengthen the de-
duction. A car OF freight had been
loaded some days ago for points east
Of here namely, Terrell, Elmo, Wits
Point. The parties there, being In ex-
irene need of the goods, sent wagons
after them, which arrived this morn
ing. The strikers here objected to the
delivery, and expressed n determines
ton 10 ire up an engine aud draw the
freight car out of '.,t yard, beyond the
union depot. They vent OIL, and Agent
Whiteman, with he assistance OF some
men about the depot, unloaded the
ear. placed the freight In the ware
house, and subsequently delivered II
to the parties who had come after 1t.
A telegram was sent TO Colonel Noble,
who replied that II would be better
TO let the issue come between the par
ties after the freight aud the strikers.
What does this indicate A? Another
poInt: A business mau In this city
received telegram this afternoon
from his partner, who IA a. Marshall,
to ''COme on tonight, without faii, ~
there will be no more passenger
traius.n Now, the sender of that dis
match il at the headquarters, aud
from the circumstances, judges that no
settlement will be arrived at, and the
men will cut oil the passenger trains
after the forty-eieht hours armisllee,
which expires tomorrow.
On the subject We have this TO say:
