The Grievance Committee of the
Rio Grande held a meeting last night,
at which the strike on both the Santa

discussed, together with the probabil-
ties of trouble on the other roads CEN
tering in Denver. Chairman Race to-
day stated that the rumor that the
Rio Grande engineers would strike in
a few days was false in every particu-
lar. The Rio Grande is hauling no
Burlington freight, the men have no
grievance, and consequently they will
not 90 out.

gers and three days mail, but none
went out. The General Passenger
Agent states that mail car will go
out tonight. One will arrive to-mor-
row. but no passengers will be carried
until the strike is adjusted. Tonight
he thinks it quite possible that the
trains will be running to morrow.

ern indicates that the situation is un-
changed. A passenger train arrived
this morning from Kansas City, but
none went out. This evening an en-
gine and mail car only lett for the

train will 60 out in the morning. All
the idle hands in the yard and depots
were discharged to-day.
SAN FRANCISCO ADvICEs.
SAN Francisco, March 19.-Al.
though the eastern dispatches to-day
state that the strike of the engineers
on the Santa Fe road has been de-
clared off, no official instructions for
the resumption of business were re-
ceived up to 4 late hour by local Off
cials of the company. General Agent
Bissell expects orders from Topeka in
the morning that will permit him to
transact the usual freight and pas

AFFAIRS ON THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
s. CRAMENTo, March 19.-The Eren-
ing Bee tomorrow will publish an in
ter view with j. w. Hanford, Grand
Chief of the Pacific division of the
Brotherhood of1ocomotive Engineers,
regarding the attitude of the Southern
Pacific men in the Chicago Burling-
ton 4 Quincy strike. Chief Hanford
says in substance that the Southern
Pacific engineers have no grievances,
and SO far as this division is concern
ed, there is no prospects of strike.
The men have been treated courteous
ly on all propositions, perhaps much
better than the employees ON any
other road. In the opinion of Chief
Harding, the 60" road will have to
yield to the engineers. The Pacific
division has already sent a large sum
OF money forward to the aid of the
Brotherhood in the east. Third Grand
Cavener went east to-day to
help to settle the trouble.
