Strike Of Brake nen and Engineers.
CLEVELAND, Oct. THE freight brake
men on the Mahoning division OF the New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad
made q demand several days ago for al int
crease of wages from 81 rs to 50 per day,
and presented several other grievances
Among other things they asked that they
be given extra pay for all time over 10
hours consumed In making a ~round-trip.
At present they get extra pay only when it
requires more than 20 hours to make the
trip. The engineers and fremen come
within the I9.hour limit, and the brake
men asked the same, They also demanded
one quarter of q day for the time lost when
called to go out with the train, which failed
to start, as was frequently the case. Cen
eral Manager Shaler forwarded the de-
mauds OF the men to the Erie headquarters
in New York, promising to give them a
reply to-day. This morning the officials
submitted a proposition TO the effect that
they will agree to pay wages "a high az any
other road competing with the New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad, the men
to be given time to investigate for them
selves to ascertain the prices paid by COM
petipg lines. If satisfactory arrangements
could not be made each party was to select
a man, and those a two-third to constitute
an arbitration committee, whose decision
was TO be considered final, and for both to
bind themselves to abide by the decision
rendered by that committee. The COM
mittee refused to accept the proposition,
and ordered the brakemen TO quit work.
At noon the order was complied with here,
and about 60 men struck. Freight is
blockaded in the yards here. II is limited
by the strikers that the entire Erie system
will yet be involved.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 7.-Ex-Governor Tritle,

1.-THE removal of the Indians was de-
manded by the Arizona Association Of
pioneers, by every newspaper in the Terri
tory.for many years, and in every annual
report made by me under Arthur's and
Cleyeland's administrations. / asked for
the same, and Secretary Lamar, In making
his report to Congress last December,
embodied my recommendations. thereby
endorsing them"
"Do you think General Miles was to
blame for making a compromise with
Geronimo?"
"No; do not. 1 think Miles pursued the
only possible course to secure peace in the

| opinion and always mine, that the capture
OF Geronimo on any terms n the re-
moval of him and his men was essential to
permanent peace. If these Indians had
been forced to surrender Internationally,
as the Government demanded, which ii
would have been almost impossible to
make them do, and bad they been given o
legal trial for their crimes, what good
would il have done2 No witnesses were
| alive to prove their guilt, and they would
have been cleared for want of evidence
that is, if they had not escaped before
their trial, and resumed their bloody
operations.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE Indian ques.
ton, involving the disposition OF Gero-
nimo. was the principal topic OF discussion
