CHICAGO, March l6-Chief Arthur declared
tonight that the strike the Santa Fe road
has been undertaken without his knowledge or
sanction. and vehemently insisted that in the
present condition of affairs he would resign his
this or any other road. The action of the Santa

order, placed it in bad position and indicated,
moreover, an apparent disposition on the part
of the men to ignore his authority Mr.
Arthur's chief henchmen also expressed surprise
and regret at the developments in the South
west, while Chief Sargent, of the Firemen's
Brotherhood. was compelled to reluctantly ad-
NIT thatghe had not been consulted prior to the

they were .siclz7 and unable to go out. The
hostlers made up the ''Thunderbolt," scheduled
TO leave here for the East at l:30 and pulled the
train down in front of the Union Depot, but as
engineer Price had not reported. the engine was
ordered back to the round-house without any
attempt being made by the company TO send the
train out. Ar the superintendent's Office it was
stated that other roads centeriug here have not
yet refused TO receive from them the through
freight consigned to eastern points, out num-
bar of cars which were loaded here late yester-
day afternoon for Missouri river points are be-
Pacific cars, and will 60 out over that line
night. The city ticket agent here has received
instructions from Topeka to sell through
tickets. and all applications at the Santa Fe
Office are directed to the Missouri Pacific or
Union Pacific. The company claim that they
have no information as to the reason for the
men going out, or what their grievances are
while the Brotherhood claim that the strike
resulted from the company attempting to haul
Burlington in direct violation of their
agreement not to do so. A Brotherhood engi-
reporter, this afternoon. said he not only be-
lieved, but he positively knew. that unless the
trouble on the Burlington speedily settled
that every Brotherhood engineer and fireman
running west of Chicago would leave their
engines inside of ten days.

CHICAGO. March 16.-The Burlineton's press
bureau suspended operations to-day, assigning
reason that the system was in full running
order and that all the departments had resumed
the even tenor of their way. Appearances
around the Burlington building bore out the
statement Quite q number of ex-Burlington
engineers have filed applications for positions
with other roads, and tits said that the Alton will
give employment to a score or more in the
course of the ensuing week
The representatives of the enginemen on all
the roads entering Chicago were again in session
to-day, and to resume their deliberations to-
morrow. No hint of what they were doing
could be pumped from any of the delegates. j.
H. Murphy, of the Burlington grievance COM
mittee, denied authoritatively q report that
representatives of the men had been confer
ence with President Perkins, last night, offering
jected by Mr.. Perkins. The report was rd-
culed by the members of the COMMITTEES, all OF
whom intimated that the men had already moro
than met the company half way, and that the
onus of the strike and Its further spread rested
wholly with the Burlington management and
not with the Brotherhood.

poyed by the Burlington since the strike began

the road and went homeward tonight by the

gnes were lying there disabled, burned out, or
with some portion of the machinery injured.

Ore festure of the situation on the TT. Scott
systefn has been frequently remarked, and that
is the fact that some days after the beginning
of the Burlington strike the Ft. Scott meM de-

promptly granted, and the FIT Scott officials
hoped they were out of danger The recent
trouble grows out of The positive decision of the
