X. OF. L. ENGINEERS.

Still More of Them Going II Chicago
From tho East
PTrTSBrRG, March 1.-The knights OF
Labor engineers are still nocking from the
East to Chicago to take the places OF the
strikers On the Burlington system.
They cay that Chief Arthur has been
asked to take off the Brotherhood engineers
on the Reading road and if he does so the
X. of /. engineers will return home.
The manner in which these Knights of
Labor engineers are going to Chicago
strengthens the belief that while the of
iicials of the Knight of Labor are standing
alOof, they are really in accord with the
members of the Order who are retaliating
upon the Brotherhood by taking the places
of their striking engineers.
Another party of engineers arrived at the
Union Station this morning. They were the
first lot that was engaged to take the place
oil the strikers. They were all Knights OF
Labor engineers formerly in the employ of
| the Reading road aud came from Pottsville
and PalO Alto, After they were engaged
they 6ere sent to Philadelphia, where they
underwent an examination. They say that
| having undergone an examination another
will not be necessary, and that they will

Mana : ers of Other Railroads Made Ner-
vous 10y Rumors.
CHICAGO, March Considerable ner.
vOusness prevails among the managers OF
the various railroads in this city. They
think there are indications that the Broth
crhood engineers are trying to find prctcxts
for striking on other roads than the Burl-
ingt0n.
Parties who pretend to be well posted,
say that the Brotherhood has already de
cided that in case of the Burlington gaining
the upper hand the men on all other roads
between Chicago and the Missouri river
will be called out, because the engineers
believe there is u secret understanding be
tween all the Missouri river roads to down
them.
It's also asserted that a strike on the
Bnrlngton's connections east and west
will be inauguraIed il those roads do not
decline to accept freight from the Rurling-
ton.
II was learned this morning that the con
ference between President Perkins and
Chief Arthur last night was brought about
by Editor Detwiler, of the Knights Of La
Dor, who has been bringing all his .ntu'
ence to bear to promote au amicable ad-
iustment OF the trouble.
| Chief Arthur absolutely refused 10 show
himself to reporters this morning hut
Mr.. Detwiler volunteered the information
| that both Arthur and Perkins had bet
ter opinion of each other than they had
before last night Both sides will he

Later Chief Sargent said: The confer.
ence amounted to nothing, and il may be
stated positively that it will not he re,
uewed unless al official request to that
effect comes up from the road "
There were no new developments in the
strike this morning. The batch OF new
hands that arrived from the East last
nigh! were taken to the company $ Office
at an early hour, and are being put through
| a rigorous examination. The suburban
trains are running to-day as usual.

New York, March 1.-The letter Of
Roscoe ConEliug TO a Pittshurg club, in
which the Stalwart cx-chicftain says he
has no designs Oh the Republican nomina-
ton for President, was interpreted in
many different ways yesterday.
The Blaine men appear 10 think that
Mr.. ConkliuE might be induced to cast
his eyes toward the White Hou,c, aud
some of them cOa;ended il he did receive
the nomination he would fare badly at the
hands OF the Plumed Knights friends
There were other members of the party
who thought that 4 man was wanted this
time to whose standard thousands of en-
thusiaStic young mel would flock and
these veterans thought that COnkliRg or
some man like him with pronounced indi-
vidualiy and vast personal magnetism
would br inst the candidate

did no; want hiR name mentioned, said.
Roscoe Conkling's attitude toward Mr.

to him among certain Republicans. If he
were by any possibility nominated am

Liberals Explaining Their Defeat.

LONDON, March 1.-The Tories are
wildly iubilant over the result of the Dept
ford election, yesterday, and the Liberals
are correspondingly depressed; but in con
Sderatlon OF all the circumstances the lat
ter claim that 1t was not such a stupendous
Conservative victory after all

signed his seat in Parliament through dis
gust with the Irish policy of his party,

successor, is returned by only 275 in a poll
OF s,4l5. Of the increase of ,67s in the
total vote of the constituency since the

Considering the facts that Deptford is a
Tory stronghold ana that the Liberal can
didate was in Jail instead of personally a,
tending to his canvass, as his adversary
was able to do, the Liberals have reason tO
feel encouraged by the result, and the Con
servatives have little reason to rejoice eN-
cept over the fact they escaped by mar
row margin.
Conversation with 4 number Of Liberal
and Parnellite members 10 day fails to
elicit any expressions indicative of sense
OF defeat, while all agree thft the distribu
