to the Chicago Roads.
CHICAGO, March 24.-'TLe situation in the
railroad circles is becoming more and more
strained each hour" said an official Of one of
the roads this morning. "While do not look
for strike on all the roads just at present, the
outlook on the Wabash is not at all reassuring."
This sentiment was verified by Daily Ne,os
reporter. Engineers, firemen and switchmen,
while they spoke guardediy on the subject, ad-
mitted that II they received orders at any
moment from the Knights of Labor to go out
they would not be surprised.

NOTHING DEC. DED ABOUT THIN AS YET.
The usual paragraphs about the Presidents
intentions during the heated term are being
published thus early in the season. 1t has been
announced that the cottage at the Soldiers
home, known as the Presidents cottage. is being
put in readiness to receive the President, who
is expected to take up his residence there in
May. 1t Is stated at the White House that ii
this is so the President has no knowledge Of
it. He has made plans whatever
for the summer, and at present
has no intention of going out to Soldiers home
at any time. Last summer he thought it likely
that he might reside there for while. but he
found his residence at the White House very
pleasant up to the time he took his vacation in
the North Woods. From last years experience
he will remain at the White House unless COM
PEELED by excessive heat to seek more comfort
able quarters, in which case he may go to
Soldiers home. He hopes to be able to remain
at the White House until he takes his regular
vacation, about which he has as yet decided
nothing. he has not secured cottage at
Woods UOll, Mass, or any place else.

PLANS OF THE BRCADE PEOPLE.

The Arcade Railway Company does not antici
pate any serious legal trouble from property
Ow ners who may seek to enj)n the corporation on
the ground that the Arcade bill was unconstltu-
tlonal. The ground taken by the company Is that
Broadway Is the property or the state ana the
Legislature has almost unanimously empowered
the corporation to forty -four feet i'll width of
the street for its road If any legal opposition is
terferance with vaults which are merely lea sed
from the city and held subject to the action of
the Legislature. The Arcade people say that there
is no valid ground for any constitutional objection
aud that there Is basis for any factlOus legal
obstacles winch can interfere with the pushing OF
the scheme and the begmmng of excavations within
q few months. Obstruction through the courts
they say, Will be the only thing which will prevent
the active PROSECUTION of the project. AS there
will be no interference with light, air and access
10 property the tedious legal delays which at
tended the construction of the elevated railroad
are not TO be looked Tor. An election OF directors
will occur soon.
