CHICAGO, H., Feb. 29.-Tnking the
number OF trains moved during the day rs
a criterion, the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad may DO said TO have made
considerable Roadway within the past
twenty-four hours in furnishing aecommo-
dation for their enormous passenger traffic,
and TO have gained point on the broth
erhood, and 50 flattering do the officials Of
the road consider their prospects that they
predict resumption Of their entire pas
senger service within the next two days
The supply Of new men is increasing
every hour Many Of the men come from
out Of town, and every train over the
Pennsylvania road brings n number from
the Reading regions. Nearly all, accord
ing TO the compAny's story, arc competent
in every way to take the places vacated by
the strikers.
At the meeting Of the strikers this morn
ing the character Of the men engaged TO
take their places was freely discussed. One
Of the engineers said: The men who are
working In our places would not be allow
cd 10 walk ON the tracks a month ago.
The following may be given as few sam
plesof the subs John Chamberlain was an
engineer on the Burlington for several
years. The road adopted system in re-
gard 10 color blindness. Chamberlain
failed 10 pass the examination and was dis
charged. Monday the company sent for
him and offered him n permanent situa-
ton on n suburban run.
Charles Tyler, another engineer who was
discharged by the Burlington for general
neglect Of business, has been offered the
mail train and has accepted.
The members Of the brotherhood, as far
M can be ascertained, 10 a man ignored
the order OF the company 10 report AT noon
today or consider themselves discharged.
The superintendent Of the railway mail
service reports that all the trains arr run
ming all right In Nebraska with the excep.
ton Of the line from McCook "a. Denver on
the Burlington & Missouri. All passenger
trains are running In Illinois and Iowa.

Chief Arthur 10 an Associated Press re-
porter this morning when asked concern.
ing tho reports which were 30 pcrsistcntly
circulated last night that negotiations boz
tween the engineers and the Burlington
road looking toward a settlement Of the
strike were being carried on. 1--WE are
willing 20 meet the railway officials half
way," hc continued, "but we have
neither made nor received any PROPOSE.

anything from your dcmands7" "We
would not conccde from our position In
regard 10 "A cents per mile, but M lar as
the other propositions are concerned We
an ready 10 discuss them. The road put
us In false position by publishing the
thirteen articles Of the mems proposition,
and giving the impression that u was on
account of the refusal Of all these that the
men struck. When the third article WIS
reached, the one la regard 10 the "a cents
per mile, Mr.. stpne refused 10 listen 10 the
proposition, aud thc negotiations ended.
The other ted Propositions were never
