More Alarming Rumors.

KANSAS CRY, March l5-Rumors are
circulated to night that a strike will begin
on the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Gulf
system at 10 a. m. to morrow, and on the
Missouri Pacific at / p. IN. tomorrow.
The engineers of the brotherhood disclaim
any knowledge of any such plan, but the
sudden and surprising turn of affairs on
the Santa Fe strengthens the belief in the
reports.
ABMINE, Kas March l5.-No Santa
Fe trains arrived here this evening from
Stone City and none left here for Salina
or Concordia. "A Union Pacific engineer
passing here togight on a freight in
formed the strikers of the Santa Fe that
before morning the engineers on the I'm
ion Pacific would leave their engines.

May Extend to other Roads.

DENVER, March l5.-The superinten
dent of the Santa Fe company stated that
he had no information as to the exact
hour the engineers and firemen on his
road would go out, but he understood that
it would be sometime to night. He has
been informed that the men are not strik-
ing because of any dissatisfaction about
wages or the policy of the company, but
simply through sympathy with the Bur
lington strikers. The Chicago express
and all freights left here as usual to.night,
but it is not known whether they will be
run through or not. The opinion among
railroad men seems to be that this new
move upon the part of the Santa Fe men
will be extended to all the roads in the
country and result in a general tie up.

ANOTHER STRIKE.
A. T, & S. F, Engineers and
Firemen Quit Work.
Sympathy with the Burlington
Men the Cause.
The Trouble Likely to Extend
to Other Roads.
Another Strike.

DENVER, March ia report reached
here this evening that all engineers and
frcmcn on the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe road running passengers from
Laiunta, Colo, had struck at 4 o'clock
this afternoon. The cause Of the strike
cannot be ascertained.
KANSAS CITY, March l5.-The engi.
neers and fremen Of the vast system of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail
road company went Out on a strike at A
O'Clock this afternoon. The strike created
intense excitement and surprise for the
reason that the road has not been hand
ling Burlington freight. That the strike
was ordered by some one in authority
there is no doubt, but in this city the men
profess Ignorance of the issuing of any
such orders and say that they have quit
because they are tired" The first in
dication OF trouble here was at half past
A O'Clock this afternoon when the Usage
City express was scheduled to depart.
Conductor Murray gave the order to
start, when Engineer Higgins quietly
stepped from the cab and refused to pull
out. At the same time that Higgins left
his engine at the Union depot, forty men

tore reaching a farm house. Ten of them
had their hands frozen so badly that
amputatiOn was necessary.
NEW YORK. March l5.-The weather
this morning is again warm and bright,
with the prospect that there will be much
thawInR. Railroads leading into the city
are all moving and business men in New
jersey, Loug Island and the upper part
OF the state reached New York this morn
ing for the first time since Saturday.
Some surface Cars are running.
Long Islands snow embargo is melting
away and communication with all points
on the island is gradually being estab-
lished.
The Erie was the first road to get a west
ern express into the city. At G this
morning the Chicago express, which has
been showed in since Monday at Monroe,
came in with the passengers all well.
Pennsylvania hopes to get a train through
to Philadelphia to-day. Business has
been once more attempted but the diff
culties are still great. The cross streets
are still blocked with huge drifts of snow.
Hourly reports are coming in from sur
rounding towns of fatalities resulting
from the storm. The names of twenty
persons have come in who persisted, and
several who are missing. Grave appre-
tensions are felt for the twelve pilot boats
which are still at sea.
WASHINGTON, March l5.-The wealth
er is mild and spring like and the effect of
the storm is rapidly disappearing and will
soon probably be entirely overcome. Good
progress has been made in repairing
wires, and mail communication between
Washington and Philadelphia is now
fully established, but all efforts to reach
New York either by mail or wire has thus
far been futile. The Pennsylvania rail
road officials believe that their road will be
cleared to New York some time to-day.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, March l5.-The
first through train from Philadelphia over
the Pennsylvania road reached here this
morning. Another train is expected this
evening from New Y ork. Passengers state
that between Harrisburg and Philadel-
phia the snow drifted to a depth of fifty
feet at many points. Many houses were
completely covered, and the only signs of
habitation was the smoke curling from
the chinneys. In many places the ocou-
pants of houses had not even attempted
to dig their way out. The weather is
now moderating.
PHILADELPHIA, March 15.-The block
between this city and New York on the
Pennsylvania road was opened this morn
ing by the arrival of a train of mail cars.
The telegraph situation does not seem to
have improved since last night.
NEWARK, N. j., March l5.-The
snow is fast disappearing. The street
cars are again running. The body of
John Rice has been found buried in a
drift on the meadows. No other fatality
has yet beer reported.

Preparing For The Funeral.

BERLIN, March l5.-The precincts OF
the cathedral yesterday again presented
constant scenes of excitement of gaiety
and turbulence that was little in accord
with the signs of mourning observed else
where. The open space in front of the
cathedral was filled with companies of
soldiers with loaded rifles and had all ap-
pearances of a bivonac. The square was
entirely enclosed to the public except on
the eastern side, where a long line of WISH
tors formed between the double line of
soldiers. The route to be taken by the
funeral procession is three miles long.
At intervals of twenty PAGES along the
route a double row of wooden obelisks
draped with Grape are being erected and
a grand arch forty feet high will span
the whole roadway from their garten along
THE Inter den Linden"
The sno ceased falling, and the sun is
shining brightly, but the weather contin-
ues bitter cold.
Shops are being opened and business is
being resumed. Thousands of persons
are arriving daily from the provinces to
view the remains of the emperor lying in
state.
Emperor Frederick spent yesterday
morning and another hour in the after
noon walking in the orangery at Charllot-
enburg. He eats and sleeps well. Dur
ing the day he gave audience to several
personages, including Won Moltke.
Every house along the Inter den Linden
is draped with mourning. Brandenburg
gate is being entirely covered with Grape.
On the place in front of the cathedral a
black ampetheatre is being erected that
will hold thousands OF seats. Along the
route Of the funeral procession seats are
selling from five to twenty marks.
Members of the reichstag and landtag
visited the cathedral Tuesday night and
privately viewed the remains of the en-
peror.
in accordance with the wishes of En-
press Augusta, the emperor roomswill be
left absolutely intact, Just as when he lived
in theu.
The municipal authorities of Cologne
has voted 10000 marks for a monument
to Emperor William.
Begas has secured a perfect cast of the
KaIser's features. From early morning
the windows commanding a view of the
square va'crowded with onlookers, whoa are
unable to leave their homes on account
of the pressure of the crowd. The spec
tacle was more suggestive of a public hol-
liday than of a day of mourning.

Destructive Fires.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March I5.-The
fire which started at I:45 this morning,
completely destroyed a four story block on
West Water street occupied by Atkins,
Ogden x Co, shoe manufacturers, and
the Thomas & Wentworth manufacturing
company. wholesale dealers and manufac-
turers OF brass goods and engine trim
mings. About half an hour after the fire
broke out the north wall OF the burning
structure fell with a great crash demo!ish-
ing one store, an addition in the rear of
Gimbell Bros. dry goods establishment
and burying a number of iremen in the
RUNS Two bodies were recovered.
A later dispatch says that John II.
Hummcl, who was reported dead, turned
up all right after the excitement had sub
sided. The name of Richard Langdon,
the engine driver, is added to the list of
dead. Cary Doll will probably die. The
aggregate loss will reach 1926, 900 and the
insurance is about $3.50, 900. The IL
of the fire is unknown 1t started with
an explosion and was followed by Others
at intervals, one of which wrecked the
north wall OF the burning building.
, 1888-03-16

engineers and tiremen agreed through
their representatives that they would not
fail to perform their duties under the con-
tract and agreement without giving the
company thirty days notice.
March 8 and 8 the conference was held
at the request of the representatives of
the brotherhood with the managing off
GERS of the Santa Fe Upon the subject of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy strike,
at which meetings the question of the
duty OF connecting roads to haul Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy freight was dis
cussed, and finally resulted in the service
of a notice by the representatives of the
brotherhood upon the company to the
effect that after SUNDAY morning, March
II, the engineers and firemen would re-
fuse to haul Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy cars. There was no notice of the
strike or of a suspension of work.
The grievance committee repeatedly
stated that no strike would be ordered,
but that each man would act for himself.
The committee assured the grievance
committee that they could not expect the
committee to act in violation of the laws
of the United States; that it was COM
monty understood and that is was their
belief that the act of congress requires
them to handle freight of all connecting
lines when presented without discrimina-
ton. They would lay their notice
before the board of directors
for their consideration, pending which it
was understood that no action would be
taken by the engineers. Since hat time
in no instance had any engineer against his
wish been asked to haul 20" cars, and at
10 time has the company done anything to
visit upon it the penalties and punish
ments for its disobedience.

After the Storm.

New YORK, March l5.-Almost all
New jersey towns within fifteen miles
of New York have some sort of railroad
communication with the city. This morn
ing thousands of business men made their
first appearance since Saturday. Over
eleven hundred were showed in at
Roseville, on the Delaware 4 Lackawanna
railroad, and hundreds were compelled to
stay in the cars over twenty four hours.
The cold was intense and food scanty,-
the food supply running very short In
Jersey towns and but little fresh meat and
no milk, eggs or vegetables can be OBJ.
tanned at any prices. The chances of get
ting relief from New York are small, as
the supply here is decidedly short. The
first mail from Philadelphia and Balti
more since Monday morning came in this
forenoon.
CHICAGO, March ia special from
Boston via London says the storm has
ragged necessarily for over two days all
over New England. Every railroad out
of the city is blockaded completely and
the only Geographic communication is by
the Commercial Gable company's line tC
Rockfort, Me-, and thence by cable tC
London. Never before WAS there such
complete prostration of business. and the
damage to property must amount to AT
enormous sum. Morning and Afternoon
papers OF Tuesday were devoid of all tel
egraphic information, and no trains have
arrived in the city.
NEW HAVEN, March l5.-The grear
snow storm has severed all connections
between Connecticut and the metropolis.
Not a tram Is moving on. any railroad

The Committees to Meet.

KANSAS CRY, March I5.-The chair
man of the general grivance committee of
the Brotherhood of Engineers received a
telegram from Mr.. Arthur tonight in
structing him to send the Santa Fe COM
mitteemen to Chicago at once, and init
mating that the Santa Fe company was
willing to compromise. The chairman
replied by asking if the Burlington would
yield to its strikers demands in case the
Santa Fe strike was lifted.
The 1915 California train had not left
at midnight, and there seemed to be small
chance of its getting out tonight.

Pacific engineers who abandoned their en-

morning and freight traffic is going on as
usual. 1t is stated that the engineers
were last night given to understand that
they were not compelled to handle Bur.

and as a consequence all cars of that line
are apparently being side tracked in the
Union Pacific wards.
