THE FINANCIAL ASPECT.
Losses Will Be Light Owing to the
Rate War.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-The financial loss
of the company in the strike is the sub
ject of curious comment. In ordinary
times the gross earnings of the road
range from 100000 to 100000 a
month, but owing to the rate war in
progress for some time past among the
Western railroads, large proportion OF
the BurlingtOn's business has been done
at an actual loss. Whether the mar
gin Of profit on the remainder
of the traffic, taken as a
whole. was so small as to make
the strike almost boon to the company,
the higher officials probably alone
know. 1t is point that seems to have
escaped the close attention of the engin-
eers, and which. taken in connection
with the hostility of the Knights of
Labor. may prove fatal weakness to
the strike. The chief depots or round
houses of the road are located at Aurora
and Galesburg, H.: Ottumwa, Burling-
ton and Creston, To-; Lincoln, Omaha
and McCook, Neb. These cities are at
the ends of working divisions of the
road. Dispatches from each place to-
night tell of active preparations being
made for the strike. The yard masters
the freight depot, and all tickets to pas
sengers are sold with the understand
ing that the company is not to be held
responsible for failure to carry passen-
gers owing to the strike. At Omaha
arrangements have been made with the
Union Pacific road to honor all Burling-
ton tickets to common points. 1t is
presumed that similar arrangements
have been made other roads,

LONDON, Feb. 26.-The new rules of
procedure, the first of which will go
into operation in the house of commons
tomorrow, are of vastly more signifi-
cance than their collective title implies,
the change made by their enforcement
affecting not only members of the house
but the whole population of aristocrats
OF London. The rule lengthening the
time at both ends involves the over
throw, for the present at least, of many
OF the traditional laws of society with
regard to luncheons, teas, dinners, ETC.,
and consequently the adoption of new
rules of procedure in other than parlia-
mentary circles. The ease with which
Mr.. Smith obtained the assent of the
house to the procedure rules was due in
great measure to the cooperation of
Mr.. Gladstone, but the theory that they
will tend to prevent obstruction is
untenable. The Observer, in discussing
the effect of the rules, admits that they
are inadequate to the purpose for which
they were aVoWedly framed and passed,
and says that unless measures shall be
adopted whereby the majority is in ab-
of the house of commons will be found
to be much worse than the first.
FOR ASSAULTING YOUNG GIRLS.
Lord Londonderry has directed Maj.
Roberts. governor of the Cork prison, to
prosecute Canon O'Mahony for libel
in having accused Roberts of aSSaulting
young girls. A summons was issued
against Roberts at the instance of Canon
OMahony, but the writ was subse-
quently dismissed by the magistrate Oh
the grounds that the evidence produced
by O'MahOny was insufficient and too
much time had elapsed since the alleged
otfenSeS to make it possible to prosecute
Roberts under the law. If there is
really any basis for Canon O'MahOny's
charges, however, his defense in the
action for libel will enable him to prove
his charges, since he will be entitled to
Introduce evidence that would have
been admissible on the criminal pro-
ceedingS he sought to bring againS

sALIsBURY's CHECK.
The row between Lord Salisbury and
Mr.. Bradlaugh over the latter's aSser-
ton that Lord Salisbury gave his per-
sOnal check to cid in the promotion of
meetings of unemployed workingmen
in February, 1886, with the object of
reaping political benefit through the
disorderly character of the meetings, is
coming to head. Sir Richard Nichol-
son, Lord Salisbury's solicitor, has
written to Mr.. Bradlaugh suggesting
that the issue be tried by consent, but
without pleading, this stipulation being
intended to prevent either party to the
controversy from obtaining political
capital through the case. It's probable
that Mr.. Bradlaugh will accept Sir
Richards suggestions in great part,
though it is known that he would very
much prefer a perfectly open trial and
an exhaustive vindicatiOn of the testi-
mOQV.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 26.-The arrival

ASHLAND, Wis, Feb. 26.-Jimmy
Connolly, the Boston man who was
matched against Danny Needham Fri
day night, informed large number of
people here before he left town that he
had thrown the fight for Needham. He
said he had been guaranteed 5000 to
come here, and that if he had got it the
result would have been different. No
one who saw the fight doubts the truth
of his statements. Ten sports came up
from Hayward alone, and before they
returned home said they would not give
10 cents to see Glow and Conley or any
one else fight in Ashland, believing they
had been swindled. There can be but
one person to blame for this, and that
one is Connolly, who frankly acknOwl-
edges his crookedness, and it is wrong
and unreasonable to make others suffer
for his misdoing. 1t is the common be-
lief that Needham is no match for Con-
molly, although he fought bravely,
showed an immense amount of science,
generalship and good judgment, and
took his punishment with a smile.

UP IN ARMS.
The Engineers and Firemen Anx'
iOuS for the Strike to Begin.

1OhS W DS4Ens
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-The feeling
among the engineers and firemen around
the round houses was of a decidedly
aggressive character to-day. They are
all "up in arms" so to speak. and are
anXiously awaiting the hour when they
are one and all to cease their connection
with the road. They stood about in
groups of threeS and fours all day and
discussed the strike in all its bearings.
An enthusiastic and well attended
meeting was held in the forenoon. and
every man who attended it sWOre on the
honor Of the brotherhood that he would
stand firm to the last. Prior to 2 p. IN.
it was like drawing eye teeth to get an
engineer OF fireman to make any sort of
statement. They all had the same
answer.
You must see the old man, Chief
Arthur. Anything he says goes with
were all willing to answer any QueS-
tiOnS asked. I'VE were enjOined with
the strictest privacy until o'clock to-
morrow" said one of the engineers to a
reporter. up to that time we all agree d
to have nothing to say. but to leave the
whole thing to Chief Arthur and our
committees
'When did the hour expire for final
answer from the Ot1icials?"
''At 2 o'clock. We notified them
thirty-siX hours before that time that
unless our demands were complied
with we would ali refuse to run an en-
gine."
The strike is not likely to involve anv
other roads in the opinion of Mr.. Ar
thur and Mr.. Sargent, though they ex-
pressed no opinion on the contingency
that some other company might en-
deavor to aid the Burlington.
"It is purely our own affair."" said Mr.
Sargent. mo other road is concerned,
and no other orders except the engi-
neerS and firemen. The brakemen and
switchmen will remain neutral. We
have not asked them to help US, and
will not. If we are beaten, we propose
to stand it alone"
When told of Mr.. Stones final de-
termination not to yield to the employees,
Mr.. Arthur'S face was -clOuded for mo-
ment. Pm sOrry," he said. 81 hate

my conscience compelled me to approve
1t. If had said mo- the men, would
not have gone out, but I'd have been
branded as coward and as trucking to
the railroads. The men in the entire
Burlington system were unanimous for
the strike. l told them all the difficulty
they'd have to encounter. They de-
cided to go into it, and Well fight as
hard as we can."
Can the company get enough good
men?"
'It can't get enough good men. 1t
may employ some men we have expelled
for drunkenness or stealing, but will
such men be safe? Can the road afford
to put its passenger trains in the hands
of such men? Then they are more dan
gerous than our men: 1t won't be long
until these men they're employing now
will get them into a bigger trouble than
we are now by striking for more wages.

Can't Compete With Us.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 26.-In an interview
with Dispatch reporter tonight, An
drew Carnegie stated that, notwith-
standing the natural facilities of Pitts
burg, the iron aud steel manufacturers
were unable to compete with Chicago and
the Northwest. The cause of this was
the advantage of lower freight rates,
which made it possible for the Western
manufacturers to come to our very
doors and take our trade. The steel
rail trade, he said, was unusually
dull. Last year the consumption was
2,225, 900 tons. From the present out
look it will not reach half that amount
this year. There is not steel rail mill
in the country that has orders to run it
for sixty days, and many could not con-
tinue in operation month.

Another Draw For Cardiff.


o. 81. Smith, who was in town last
week with Patsy Cardiff, tells how he
got back at Patsy in playful way in
ST. Paul short time ago. Cardiff is
somewhat of a checker player, be it
known, having very few superiors at
that game among the men you are liable
to meet every day. The automatic
checker and chess player which has
been touring the country, knocking out
all comers at the cross-barred game,
was in st. Paul week before last,
and Patsy thought he would try his
hand against it. He did. The automa-
ton played stiff game, and so did
Patsy. After long struggle it resulted
in draw. "Well, that beats h" said
the pugilist, looking at the machine.
"Well, what did you eXpect?" asked
Smith. "Did you think you'd get better
than draw? You fought a draw with
Sullivan, you fought a draw with
Mitchell, with Killen, with McClarney,
with Crooks, and now you have a draw
with wooden man. Well, you're

west Very Light.
DENVER, Col, Feb. 26,-R. g. Head,
president of the International Range
association, and largely interested in
the range cattle business, returned to-
night from an extensive trip in South
ern Colorado, New Mexico and Texas.
In an interview he stated that the re-
ports circulated in the East that the loss
of range cattle this winter will reach
from so to Is per cent are absO-
lutely false. He said that from per-
sonal observation he knew that the
range cattle in Colorado, Texas, New
Mexico, Indian Territory and Wyoming
and portion of Arizona were never i'm
better condition at this time of the year
than at present, and that the losses this
year would be comparatively nothing;
that. while the stock is not suffering for
feed, snow is needed in Wyoming, Col
orado and Northern New Mexico, while
Southern New Mexico, Texas and
the Indian territory have had an abun-
dance of rain, thereby insuring hardy
grass. There has been some mortality
among the cattle in small scope of
Northern Arizona and Texas, south of
the Panhandle, caused principally by
overcrowded ranges. Mr.. Head proph-
estes that in the next two years the
price of cattle will advance, and those
who have held their stock through the
depression for the past three years will
reap great financial harvest.
