The men are firm in their determination
to allow no freight trains to pass until their
conditions are complied with. This inten-
ton was expressed To the con'pany's officers
in the interviews yesterday, and
last night, and there is no probability that
they will recesie from this determination.
The strikers

last night from BOonville by running a
freight train down to that city and bringing
their friends back with them. They had
previously telegraphed to the men that their
presence vas needed in Sesialia. and tn b. IN
readiness to come at moments warning
The officers Of the road appear to he con-
siderably perplexed, and don't know
EXACTLY WHAT ro Do.
So far. however. On both side, the policy
pursued has been one Of rare good &c: se and
judgment. II is. Of course, To everybody's
interest that no actual conflict shall occur,
and that the adjustment oi the difficulty, ii
any Is to BE- reached. should he accomplish
ed without stirring up any i'll feeling. II
cannot help matters in any degree to pre-
cipitate i'll advised councils. Reporters
from the BAzoo have interviewed this morn
ing, representative men Of both sides, and
while there is no indication Of abating q
jot or title Of the ground which either o.
cupies, it is gratifying to announce that the
negotiations will be conducted in a spirit Of
manly courtesy by all officers and men alike.
