A STAND or

Speaking of the revival Of the story
that the Burlington is arranging to con-
struct bridge and enter Davenport, and
that the Rock Island is preparing to in
wade the Burlington's territory by the
purchase of line into Burlington, the
Chicago Times says;
In regard to the first project, local
company at Davenport secured fran
chise to build bridge as that point, but
failed in their purpose. They would I'M
doubtedly like to sell out. but there is no
evidence on the surface or in any other
direction that the Burlington is custom
er, and those most interested do not be-
lieve that the corporation has any press
emit intention to enter into the scheme.
The second project has already been
referred to in the Times. President
Cable stated that the company was not
treating for the purchase of any road or
listening to any propositions at present
from the citizens Of Burlington. The
Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw is the line
about which all this gossip is aflOat Its
stockholders would naturally look to the
Rock Island as a probable purchaser, bnt
on the best of authority it can be stated
that at this time no such proposition is
being considered. The Rock Island will
In all probability, go to Burlington some
time in the future, but it has other plans
on hand which will be developed within
the next year, and which need its press
ing and exclusive attention.
So from the above il is stand off"

The Feeling ut New York.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20 There is consider
able discussion in this city among labor mon
| rs to the extent and prospects of the strike
ordered by the Knights of Labor at
st Louis. Many members of tho order
hold that it was mistake to
make such test of strength before it was
actually known that a majority of the shop
men were prepared for such move
Officials of the southwestern system in
this city claim to believe that there viii! be
no strike on their roads.
In downtown business circles Wednesday,
little else was talked Of than the general
strike on the western railroads which had
been ordered by the general executive board
of the Knights of Labor There was a gen
eral Ieellng of uncertainty among brokers
and spectators rs to what would he the ont
come of the trouble between the railroad
| managers and the employees. There is a
probability Eof the strike extending over
the entire Wabash and Gould systems.
Mr.. Gould's agent, Messrs Washington
L. COnnor a. Co. said to United Press re-
porter: 1--WE are not alarmed by the situa-
ton of affairs. In fact we think that il
will blow over within a few days" At the
Office of the Wabash company gentleman
these said that he did not think there would
be much of a strike, although he admitted
he had received no special advices to war
rant such an assertion.
| Mr.. Henry Clews said: a think the diff
| ferences between the railroad managers and
their employees will be settled before a strike
becomes genaral;' then added ''there is an
improved outlook in the general business of
the country"
| One OF the members Of the firm of Charles
| Counselman a. Co said: ~ shall not be
surprised if find that the thing is a trick OF
! Jay Gonld's, as some think he has started the
| report OF an impending strike of the ON
| ployes on his railroad for tine sole purpose Of
| frightening timid holders OF stock, so that
