RAILROAD NEWS.
The Missouri Pacific Strikers
Willing to Arbitrate,
But First Want the October
Rates Restored.
The Texas Pacific Strikers
Still Holding Out.
Will Arbitrate.

ATcHIsoN, KAN ( March ll.-Gover-
nor Martin and the railroad commissioners
we're in secret conference the greater part
Of the day with the executive committee
of the strikers and District Superinten-
dent of the Missouri Pacific. The
strikers presented their grievances, and
after a discussion of the matter, at the
suggestion OF the governor, the commits
sioners consented, if both sides were
willing to act as arbitrators. There was
no pretense made that the commissioners
had any authority to arbitrate, but they
consented to act in the hope that the diff
Guilty would be settled amicably. After
the conference adjourned the proposition
of the governor was communicated to the
strikers. The meeting was largely at
tended the last two hours. They then
adjourned, first having authorized the
committee to give their ultimatum, which
is said to be a demand first, for the resto-
ration of the October rates, and then an
arbitration decision of the arbiters, to be
agreeable to both sides. At 8 O'Clock to-
night the committee was still in session
with the governor and the commissioners.
The general meeting of the strikers to-
night to hear the governors proposition
rejected it by a unanimous vote and in
structed the committee to say to the gov
ernor that the strikers would accept the
services of. the railway commissioners as
arbitrators provided wages were first re-
stored to the October scale pending the
arbitration, and that other shops in the
strike shall be treated in the same man
ner in their respective states. and until a
conclusion was reached which shall be
mutually agreeable, matters shall stand
as at present This report having been
communicated to the governor, another con-
ference was held, and it was agreed by the
committee that they would, in Difference
to the wishes of Governor Martin, join
the committees from Parsons and Sedalia
and proceed to St. Louis and interview
Messrs. Hayes and Hoxie in person.

The situation Unehanged.

GALVESTON, March 1.-THE Ne,cs'
Marshall special says: An attempt was
made to-day by Detective Furlong, assisted
by the civil authorities, to take out a
freight train. As the engine was about
to leave the yard, strikers quietly assem-
bled and requested the engineer to get
down and out, which he did. The engine
was then taken back to the round house
and the fires drawn.
This evening the county attorney tele-
graphed Governor Ireland: ''The strikers
here are quiet, peaceable sober citizens,
and are not making any demonstrations
to injurc persons or the property of the
railway"
A Longview special says: The situa-
ton is unchanged. The strikers to-day
refused to permit a Texas Pacific engine
to transfer freight to the Galveston, Sa-
bine and st. Louis railroad.
Dispatches from other points show the
situation practically unchanged.
A Dallas special says; 1t is said a com
promise may be looked for between the
Texas Pacific company and the strikers
that the officials have invited the secretary
of the striking mechanics to a conference,
from which peace is expected. The gov
ernor's proclamation is generally regarded
as uncalled for.
The evening Times says: Governor
Ireland has no more right to dabble in
this fight than we have, and he would dc
well to wait until the authority of the
state is defed before he rushes into print
The strikers remain orderly and firm.

CHICAGO BULLS AND BEARS.
The Wheat and Provision Market.

From our regular correspondent.
CHICAGO, March ll.-"Everybody
knows that wheat is going to Toe; they
are sure of that; some say 60c, and the
real smart ones doubt ii it has any value
at all for commercial purposes, -
said a discouraged bull this morning.
Every man. woman and child knows
that it is lower now 10 the consumer than
it has been in century, but it must go
still lower, because there are a few million
bushels more in sight than there ought to
be. What can we do with it except give
it away2 To dispute the proposition that
wheat must sell below roc is to be looked
on as an ass"
The fact that Secretary Stones visible
supply statement foots up another in
crease, causes holders to wonder if stocks
are going to keep right on piling up until
the new crops are in the market
The occasional slight decline in English
%consols, which is supposed to indicate that
the trouble between England and Russia
may not yet be altogether bridged over,
makes the beans nervous and encourages
the bulls to take hold freely. The bull
movement and rumors, however, fzzle
out together each time. Each bulge
brings out heavy realizing sales by prev
ious purchasers, and large offerings on
short" account. Conservative men
think there is really little prospect of
gore being shed on the other side for sew
eral days at least. If this gives out, the
only bull prop left to sustain prices is
thought to be crop damage, which, so far,
has failed to exert the influence sanguine
longs" had hoped for. The market is now
well evened up. Stocks are large-consid-
erably larger than ever before. Prices are
low-considerably lower than ever before.
Now the question of whether the
one offsets the other or not at
the present range, is what spectators are
trying to solve. For the present, active
traders stand ready to jump in and buy
on any outside bull news, and another
class are Just astready to sell on any adj
vance. Both are working for a quick
turn, and either would accept a very
small profit. This will be likely to give a
nervous market. which outoiders will have
much trouble and vexation in following to
advantage.
Corn is strong IL has many friends.
Buyers of all grades of cash stuff are in
full attendance daily and take everything
offered. The crowd agree hat prices
to go up and about everybody has
bought a little to take advantage of the
rise. But the rise don't come and no.
body makes any money, then the chief
reason probably being that it is too uni
versally expected. The latest bull argu-
ment is that the numerous railroad strikes
will interfere with the movement and
stimulate values.
Provisions are also strong, but, as in
corn, trade lacks interesting features.
The cash demand, however, shows signs
OF improvement, and with such light re-
ceipts the chances appear to favor a higher
range.
