CHICAGO, March 1O.--Roswell MIL
Ter, general manager of the Milwau-
kee and st Paul road. when asked to-
day to give his views rs to the posi-
ton Of outside roads towards the
Burlington said:
It seems to me to be ridiculous for
court to order q road to handle
Burlington freight when It Is not in
condition to obey the order. How
can the st. Paul handle Burlington
cars when the engineers refuse TO
work. Discharge them and get men
that will? That's all very well; but
suppose we did discharge some OF our
engineers, would we be in better po-
sition, or the public is better position
to stop our road altogethe i could
stop the st. Paul road to- y, but
don't propose to do It, because It
would only result in injury to the
public. The st. Paul is not response
bic for the present situation Of IL
fairs.
THE ENGINEERS ARR INCOMPETENT.
DIES MONIES, March 10.-The board
Of railway Commissioners have been
investigating for several days char
ges Of incompetency made against
the engineers on the Burlington road
| who have been taken the places Of
the strikers. They took considerable
testimony at Creston from engineers
who stated that they did not want
to consider themselves first-class To-
connective engineers. They summed
up this testimony and submitted 1t
to the Governor to-day. After re-
citing this testimony the commits
sioners say: Mr.. Brown, superin-
tendent Of the Iowa lines, admits
that udder the condition Of all his
engineers leaving on twelve hours
notice, he was compelled to leave
passenger trains with new and inex-
perienced men. It may be regarded
as proven beyond question and ad.
mitted that the men above designat-
ed were inexperienced under the gen.
eral rules laid down by railroad CON-
missioners for the running Of trains,
and tried by their own statements
the commissioners do not hesitate to
say that they are incompetent engin-
GERS, the commissioners say: We
think we are safe In assuming that
In these particulars the new men rum
ming these trains cannot be equal to
those who had been previously So
lected from the oldest and most CON-
petent engineers to run passenger
trains. The commissioners believe
that the examinations that have been
made the tests that have been applied
to determine whether engineers are
competent to run locomotives are die
tated by prudence, and to neglect
them is unwise. They would advise
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
company to allow no engineer to run
passenger trains that IL not fully up
to the established standard Of skin
and ability. The law governing the
carrier Of passengers says he must
use extraordinary care and caution,
the highest skill, the greatest FORE
sight and the best appliances" the
highest degree Of care, skill and dilli.
gence OF which human effort Ii cana
ble;" the diligence must be extra
ordinary, and liability follows tho

in issue, the commissioners have not
thought it within the scope Of this
investigation to discuss the merits Of
the differences that led to the engin-
GERS and fireinen leaving the services
