THE AMOSkEAG MILLS.
A Prospect that Work Will be Resumed
on Monday.

MANCHESTER, n. H., Feb. l9
The community is almost as one in sane
tioning the course adopted by the city gov
ernment last night, in promising to protect
the operatives from harm who desire to re-
turn to work and also insuring the safety of
the companys property. The strikers are
out on the streets today in large numbers and
are much excited over the report that weav-
ers are to be brought here from other cities.
Inquiry at the Anoskeag counting room re-
suited in a denial of the report and the state
ment that no such move had been attempted.
The mill managers believe that all but 200 or
so weavers out of 1000 will report for duty
next Monday morning and that there will be
full complement of help in other depart
ments.
Strikers claim that at least 1000 weavers
will remain out. They have had no confer
ence with Agent Straw and are now agitatng
the matter of holding mass meeting of ALL
the weavers in Manche ster, at the rink, Sat
urday morning next, and there settle the
matter whether they will return to work or
not.
Mayor Stearns says: The position of the
Amoskeag, as | understand it, il that there
are verv few persons who are disposed to
make trouble, and vile a misunderstanding
exists between the operatives and the com
psny, such people would very likely feel en-
couraged in doing more or less damage to
persons and property. | am of the opinion
that the management of the company now
think their employees believe that the COM
panv intends. at least, to treat them fairly,
and the gates now will be opened and work
| resumed by those who wish without risk, and
| that the operatives themselves will see to il
| that no trouble or damage occurs. The con-
| duct of the operatives since they have been
out of work has been most commendable.
| The community has quietly settled down
to await the results on the opening of the
mill gates next Monday, but the opinion is
! gaining strength that sufficient number of
operatives will return to enable the mills to
start up.
| Eugene Borque, member Of the commit
tee of weavers who conferred with Agent
| Straw, has resigned on the ground that she
| is satisfied with her wages
| A meeting of loom fxers was held at City
! Hall building today, when the following res
olutions were passed
! Resolved. That we loom ixers of the
| Amoskesg Manufacturing Company are sat
| isfied with our pay and the way we are used,
and that the feeling in regard to our las,
meeting was misunderstood, and that we are
ready to go to work at any time we are called
upon to do so.
! Resolved, That we wish to state that ouI
| feelings in regard to our employers are Of the
most cordial nature and we hope the same
| feelings will always exist.

THE BROADWAY ROAD.
Public Belief in Sharp's Knavery-Fur.
ther RumOrs About the Sale.
New YORK, FEB. 10.

New YORK, feb. 10.
New York is all agog over the latest de-
velopments in regard to the new move of
the Broadway surface railway people, headed
by Jacob Sharp. On every side the transfer
of the road to a Philadelphia syndicate is ac-
cepted as an admission of knavery on the
part of Jacob Sharp, and public opinion is
greatly excited over the subject. The World
this morning continues its line of investgs-
ton, and oil persons interested in the trans
fer have been interviewed
The prime mover in the scheme, Jacob
Sharp, will not deny or affirm the truth of
the reports, but in other quarters it has been
learned that such a step has been contem-
plated and also awaits the signature of the
Philadelphia syndicate to complete In due
form. The signing of the transfer is likely
to take place at any moment, and Drexel,
Morgan Co. are reported as being the par
ties who will act as trustees in the transfer.
Attorney General O'Bren says that the
Broadway road cannot save its charter by
this move as the Senate investigating COM
mittee discovers that it was procured by
fraud and the guilty parties cannot escape
prosecution. Philadelphia people are also
verv retcent, and decline to deny or affirm
the reports
Investigation set on foot by the rumor has
resulted IN uDearthlng gigantic scheme to
girdion the city with tracks, on the part OF
the Philadelphia syndicate. They fought for
the Broadway road as a central rib or back
bons of the entire scheme, for without it
their scheme would fall fiat.
This scheme has been quietly pushed fol
months at Albany. Companies have been
organized right and left, the prime mover
being William II. Kemble, known to fame as
the father of the addition. division and
silence policy" -Four of the most impor-
tant roads in the city, connecting with the
Broadway road, have already been swallowed
up, and the work is still progressing in the
face of public opinion and strong legal OBJ,
lection. Aldermen are very scarce article
lust now. The scheme is elsewhere consid-
cred to be deed of most daring and over
reaching efforts on the part of the corpora
ton to rob the city and tax payers ever per.
petuated, and the utter annihllaticn of Jacob
Sharp and his associates is freely predicted.

CUT RATES.
War Butween Western Railroad COrpo.
ratiOns.

New YORK, Feb. 10.
The failure of the representatives of roads
forming the Trans-Continental Association
to agree upon proportion of through traffic
to and from the Pacific coast has precipitate
a war of rates which promises to bring about
serious results to the earnings of those rail-
roads. Today the eastern agent of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad re-
ceived orders to cut freight tariff rates to
meet those offered by any of the western
lines.
As a result the freight rates were reduced
today about 30 per cent. Shippers at this
season of the year are not making many con-
signments. The roads are therefore able to
make liberal terms with them in order to Sc
cure fair amount of business.
A meeting Of the Union Pacific, Nothern
Pacific & Oregon, and TransContinental
Companies presidents is being held here to-
dav, to determine what action shall be taken
by these roads relative to the Pacific coast
passenger and freight rates.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad this morn
ing was the first ani only trunk line out of
New York which reduced its passenger tariff
to San Francisco in accordance with the re-
Gently adopted cut of lines west of the Mis-
souri, river The fares to San Francisco are
as follows: Unlimited tickets, $3.50; first
class, limited, S73 50; second class, $40.
Other trunk lines will probably follow TO-
morrow.
CHICAGO, Feb. 10.
The overland railroad war, growing out of
the collapse of the Trans-Continental Asso-
citation, was instituted todav, in thoroughly
aggressive way, both to passenger and freight
traffic. All lines running west and south
west of here having California connections,
were booking passengers today for San Fran
cisco at the following rates $40 for first
class unlimited; $50 for first class limited; !;
s32 for second class and emigrant. In the
matter of contracting for freight no rates are
quoted but the agents have been given right
TO receive business at any figures, and it is
known that very large reductions are being
made.
The pool was split because of the demand
of the Atchison road for so per cent. of the
California business.
