People who have been in dread OF the
cyclone, which has been making a week s
tour along the coast and was expected ia
pay this area visit to-day, may feel
treasured. The storm left the
land near Cape Hatteras, and is now
probably venting its fury far out
at sea. Reports yesterday from all over
the country showed that there had been
no decided changes Of temperature OF
barometer, except in the Northeast.
Latest reports stated that the storm
centre was to the southwark OF Atlantic
City and moving to the northeast, with
no disturbing influence on shore.

ARTHUR's EXPLANATION.
The Brotherhood Not Wholly Respon.
sible for the Strike.

CHICAGO, March 2.
Chief Arthur issued tonight statement
to the public concerning the position of the
strikers, and says the employees are not re-
sponsible to the public for the situation on
the railroad. The employees have legal
right to place an estimate on their services
and refuse to work if the road refuses to pay
that estimate.
We will use no means but moral suasiOn
to prevent others from filling our places,
and have carefully refrained from anything
to justify public censure. and will do every
thing honorable to compel the road to graft
our requests, but nothing to bring reproach
upon them or their organization. The
question at issue. being simply is, whether
this road shall pay the same wages for the
same work as the Chicago Alton st. Paul,
Northwestern and 30 per cent of all the
railways in the country. The road
is now paying 35 per cent less. In
the present fight the engineers and firemen
can not afford to lose the fight but there is no
possible way in which they can recede in their
demands on the question of wages except at a
sacrifice of their organization 1t would not
be expected and ii can't be just to expect that
other roads leading into Chicago would con-
tinue to pay higher wages than the 90 If
the engineers should acceIe to the present
wages offered by that road it would have
another fight on its hands within twenty -four
hours and ii would have to submit or aban-
don its organization. There is no other way
out of the difficulty but by concession on the
part of the company on the question of wages
or fight to the bitter end. We do not speak
by authority but with knowledge"

THE WESTERN STRIKE.
The Situation on the c. B. & @. Road
Steadily Improving.
CHICAGO, March 2.

CucAGo, March 2.
The agreement between the brotherhood
and the knights, whereby the former are to
call their men off the Reading road ami the
latter keep away from the fight in the L. b.
4 O. matter, had no apparent effect on the
number of applicants at the general ofhces
of the Burlington this morning. The ma.
;or;,y of the men, however, were young and
locked more like firemen than engineers
The officials of the company claim that the
situation is steadily improving. They ac-
c.ptcd one hundred and sixty men yesterday
aud expec, to put on one hundred and fifty
TODAY. Fourteen passenger trains were sent
out from Chicago today, and sixteen came
in.
The company commenced running coal
trains on the Chicago division today and
claimed tha, they are running local freight
trains on some portions of the system.
A number of switch engines are at work
i, the lumber districts, the most important
xork there being taken care of. The OH
cers there are confident of being able to send
ou, freights tomorrow, add they do not think
,ha, n deal between the Brotherhood and the
Knights will have any effect on the new men.
The strikers say that everything looks fa''
,rablc. and are awaiting the action OF the
agreement between the Brotherhood and the
Knights with much confidence

MAINE DISPATCHES.
MONEY FOR THE LAWYERS.
A Two Million DollarWill to be Broken

Special to the Kennebec Journal
BowDoIsHAM, March z.
About six months ago, Capt. Noble Max
well a former resident Of this place but for
many years a master of vessels sailing from
Boston to the Indies died at Hotel Bruns-
wick, Boston, leaving property valued at two
millions dollars. About quarter of this
amount by will was coming to relatives in
Bowdoinham, the rest to relatives in other
Maine towns. just as the fortunate heirs
are about TO enjoy their windfalls another
party appeared on the scene and demanded a
slice. This the relatives do not propose to
give without fight so they are hunting over
the town records and all other papers that
can throw any light on to this party's claim.
Capt. MaxwelPs property was mostly in
bank and manufacturing stocks.
