of steam-power, as it is a complete check on
the doings of the engineer and fireman. Its
perfect reliability is unquestioned. Nothing
harms boiler more than fluctuations in pres

an explosion II is very difficult, and generally
impossible, to determine the amount Of steam

Cumberland, Nd, Special TO the Baltimore American,
May 10
Most of the miners in the Cumberland region
went to work this morning. Although there
was quite a number who applied Tor work. they
were told there would be no work for them at
present. Most of them were leading men in
the strike. 1t is understood the companies will
only employ as many men they can keep
working Iual time the year round, and claim II
they had followed this rule from the strike ira
1882 the men would have had no cause for u
strike at this time. In the Elk Garden region
most of the men are at work. Col. Davis said
to-day he would exercise discretion in the selec.
ton OF his men, and employ none of the men
VINO tried to intimidate those men who wished
to go TO work sooner. The companies action in
trying to blacklist those who took active part
I'm the strike will, no doubt, cause trouble Ina the
region.

An Impending Freight Rate War.
ANOTHER ROAD REFUSES To REPORT IT'S BUSI-

NESS TO THE POOL.
CHICAGO, May 20.-The Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Railroad has joined the Missouri
Pacific and ST. Paul and Omaha roads in relus-
ing To report its business To the commissioner
OF the Western Freight association, and conse-
quently balances cannot be figured out or
evened up. The pool has been in existence a
year. but, by the action of the st. Paul in re-
fusing To pay its balances OF revenue from
dressed beet transportation, has been virtually
imperative, no settlement between the MEM
beers ever having been made. Unless some COM
promise is reached there is possibility of rates
going TO pieces and through rates to Omaha be-
coming completely demoralized. The Milwau-
kee and st. Paul nave cut the rates flour
from st. Paul and Minneapolis To Chicago
and Milwaukee from the agreed To-
cent rate to IN cents per hundred pounds,
with similar reductions from all mill
ing points in the interior of Minnesota and Da-
kota to the seaboard. This, ii is understood,
was done in retaliation for cuts made by the
Duluth and Washburn routes, the latter having
been charged with irregularities for some time
past, having taken a very large proportion OF
the Hour shipments from st. Paul and Mime
apolis To Lake Superior in competition with the
Lake Michigan outlets.

were too wise Ia get into serious trouble over
