Strike Notes.

A Knight of Labor representative ar
rived in st. Paul last night from the
East. FOrty-two men, he states, from
the Burlington road have returned to
their homes in the East, and he guar
antees that if there are any on the c., 3.
q n. here, they will also return at once.
He is here for the purpose of looking
them up. He also stated that forty ''Q''
engines had been burned by incOmpe-
tent engineers, and he saw them all
huddled together near the shops in Chi
cago.
1t was stated in newspaper that be-
fore the Chicago, Burlington IL North
ern engineers went out they were re-
ceiving full pay all the time, whether
they worked or not This, they say, was
a mistake. as they only received their
wages when they worked, and merely
received actual mileage.
The freight that left st. Paul yester-
day morning was, at 6 O'Clock last
night. "dead' on the track one mile
south of Prescott. A telegram was re-
ceived asking for switch engine from
Dayton's Bluff to bring back the train.
The evening passenger train was neces-
sarily delayed. The engineer running
the freight was the man who asked the
machinist how to pump water into the
boiler of the engine.
Henry Wade, of the firm of Wade q
Jones, says that they are contractors on
the Manitoba road, but that they are
not here to employ ''scab' engineers.
He says they are at work on the extern
sion of the Manitoba and came to st.
Paul to hire labOring men. The men
they hire have nothing to do with the
strike.
Engine No. 10, attached to the 4:45
passenger, arrived with her CRATES

announced that the whole matter had
been postponed until Monday. The de-
lay is ostensibly to give the attorneys
for the Wabash time to prepare an an
Swer, but the Burlington company did
not appear to oppose the pOstponement.
To an Associated Press reporter Judge
Gresham explained that Robert L. Lin
coin, the counsel for the Wabash COM
pany, had aid they had been in consul
tation all the morning with Receiver
McNulta, endeavoring to wade through
the mass of documents filed by the Bur-
lington and prepare suitable answer.
They had found lit impossible in so short
a time to do the matter justice. Judge
Gresham, therefore, in the absence OF
any serious Oppos ton to delay by the
Burlington, decided TO let the whole
matter wait until Monday.

WILLING TO ARBITRATE.
Chief Arthur Still Willing to
Arbitrate.

CHICAGO. March 9.-"The attitude of
the brotherhood at this juncture." said
Chief Arthur this afternoon, when some
time subsequent to Judge Gresham's
postponement of action he was asked to
define his position, sis practically iden-
tical with this statement, which has ap-
peared most Opportunely." Mr.. Arthur
held i'll his hand an article from Chi
cagO paper favorlng settlement OF the
difficulties by arbitration.
''NOw," said he, 1.-The point is that the
brotherhood is and has been ready to
submit the whole matter to three diSin-
terested parties for settlement"
''But Paul Morton, speaking to-day
for the company. claimed there Is moth
ing to arbitrate."
'That is question of fact" said Mr..
Arthur dryly, "of which we must allow
the people to be the judges. If Mr.
Morton's claim is correct, how is it that
the Burlington company, with the hun
dredS of miles of country dependent
upon it, is not doing 80 per cent Of the
business it was when the strike began?
The position is manifestly absurd. Not
only in our own interest, but in the in
terest of the public, who so far have
been the principal sufferers, we say
that there is ample ground for arbltra-
ton. / want it to go on record before
the public that we are now as we have
been-Willing and ready to arbltrate."

MAY JOIN THE ENGINEERS.
RumOrs That the Switchmen and
Brakenen May Go Out.


For the last two days rumors have
been circulated to the effect that the
switchmen and brakemen would join
in the strike. Several leading engineers
supported the statement by saying they
expected it, and believed such an action
very probable. A GLOBE reporter went
through the yards yesterday and talked
with several switchmen. They are
feeling rather sore, and the passing of
an engine with a ''Scab" engineer never
fails to increase the soreness. The
burden of their song is substantially
this, in the language of one:
"We are the worst underpaid men in
the employ of a railroad company. We
lfave been ready to strike for higher
wages for long time, but by going out
now, while the engineers are out, our
chances of success would be far greater.
The roads would be crippled on two
sides, and our cause would be all the
stronger, because bond of sympathy
exists between the engineers and
Switchmen."
In connection with the above it was
suggested that if the strike included
these sWitchmen and brakemen. it
might be possible that an amalgamatiOn
of the three would follow a successful
result for the men. An engineer in
speaking of this, said that although the
brotherhood had the kindest feeling for
the switchmen and brakemen, an ANAL
gamation would never occur, at least
under the Arthur reign, though, of
course, in the event of general strike
they would be actuated by feeling of
HymDathy.

A VICTORY FOR THE Q.
A Restricting Order Issued by an
Omaha Judge.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
OMAHA, Neb., March 9. The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad, in the
United States court, to-day obtained a
restraining order from Judge Dundy,
enjoining the Union Pacific railway, It's
officers and agents, and particularly its
engineers. from refusing to perform
their duties under the interstate COM
merce law, and restraining the engineers
of the Pacific road from striking or from
organizing or combining to direct
any strike. The order was served
late this afternoon. The Burlington
two days ago made formal tender of
cars to the Union Pacific, with re-
quest to know whether the Union
Pacific would take its freight. The
answer was Ofriendly, but the freight
has not been moved. CD. Green, who
brings the injunction proceedings for
the Burlington, proceeds upon the
theory that when men combine for an
unlawful purpose, and, in furtherance
of this object, agree to strike or
to organize strike, they thereby place
in the hands of such combination their
individual right to quit work. and there
after are the agents of this organization !;
so that when the strike occurs, each
individual not only quits work for HIM
self, but for every other member of the
combination.

the claim was not included in the pro-
visions of the Bowman" act, and by
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who protested
against the payment of claim when it
was not shown that the claimants were
loyal, and who declared that congress

ONE OF THE RESULTS.
Two Engines Come Together With
Deadly Effect.

.ATCIINsoN, Kan, March "a seri-
GUS collision occurred at 4 o'clock this
afternoon on the Burlington Il Missouri
River railroad, one of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy lines running into
Atchison. The through Denver passen-
ger that left the city this morning was
standing OH the track at Humboldt
when the south-bound passenger
from Lincoln, with Read
ing engineer in the cab. dashed
into the station at the rate of ten miles
an hour. The fireman, W. B. Hill, Of
Lincoln, jumped as the engines came
together, and suffered diSlOcation of
the right knee. Tom Morris, the brake
man, was hurt in similar manner, and
also his spine was injured. Mrs. Ed
munds, of Lincoln, was badly bruised
and injured internally. Pat Lyman,
conductor, was cut and bruised about
the chest, arms and legs. A travelling
man, whose name is not yet known, was
seriously hurt, and remained at Hum
boldt. The others came to Atchison for
treatment by the surgeon of the COM

HOW OFFICIALS TALK.
the Committee on Grievances
The Manitoba's Position.


The Manitoba's Position.
The situation of all the railroad lines
in st. Paul that have any connection
with the strike was precisely the same
yesterday as it was the day before. The
Burlington Il Northern people said that
they had all the engineers they wanted.
with the exception of three that were
on the way. The grievance committee
visited Mr.. AinSlie, assistant general
manager of the Northern Pacific and
had long and pleasant talk with him.
The substance of what he said was that
all the employees of that road were on
the very best of terms with the manage
ment; that the Northern Pacific engi-
neerS were better paid than those of al
most any other road; that it is now, and
has always been the policy of
the road to avoid strikes, as they
are always injurious to business, and de-
moralizing in every way. In accord
ance with these ideas, the management
would consider the proposition of the
engineers to stop hauling Burlington &
Quincy ears. He did not wish, how
ever, to give an off-hand opinion upon
such all important matter without more
consideration. The Northern Pacific
road was very long one, and he would
prefer to wait and see how many of the
Burlington IL Quincy cars were out on
the road. The committee went away
very well satisfied with the interview,
and with the understanding that the
Northern Pacific would stop handling
the cars Of the Quincy road
In regard to the Manitoba road, Mr..
Marvel, general manager, said that he
had been visited by the grievance COM
mittee, but that there was no change at

The Suits Against Chief Ar

poned to Monday.
No Change in the General
Situation, and Quiet Pre-
walls.

There is little, if any, change in the
situation among the striking engineers.
The engineers are still quietly and Or
derly awaiting developments and claim
that things are gradually coming their
way. Every point is keenly watched
and each time word comes of another
engine burned" they smile grimly.
Early yesterday little excitement was
caused by the rumor that the Northern
Pacific would continue to handle so"
business.
''If such is the case" said an engin-
eer, 'the engineers will go out from
here to the Pacific coast. However, L
do not believe the rumor."
In the afternoon the committee of en-
gineers called OH the officials of the
Northern Pacific road, for the first time
consultation.
''You may say" said the chairman to
a GLOBE reporter afterwards, ''that the
relations between the Northern Pacific
officials and the engineers are very
friendly" This fact has been under
stood all along, but counts for very lit
tie. The Northern Pacific officials
would not commit themselves one way
or the other. The consultation was con-
Quoted in friendly, courteous manner
on both sides.
There are two questions to settle on
the Manitoba road. First, whether the
road will continue to handle ''Q' busi-
ness, and second, whether it will con-
tinue to allow the Chicago, Burlington
d. Northern TO run its short line train
over the Manitoba track. No SatiSfac-
tory agreement has been made and
further consultation will be had. In
the meantime the Manitoba will not
haul any 90 cars and the short line
train will continue to run.
On all sides the situation looks more
complicated than ever. The engineers
still look confident and talk in a conf
dent manner, claiming that they are
bound to win. They claim that the
supply of ''Scab" engineers is completely
of the road here are anxious to know
where they will get men.
The same demonstrations occurred
yesterday on the arrival of the c. B. &
n. trains, but there were not ten engin-
GERS in the crowd of $50 people that sur
rounded the engines. The engineers
have too much sense to join in these
occurrences, and prefer to spend their
time studying a speedy and satisfactory
solution of the difficulty. The lobby of
the Merchants is the rendezvous.
ANOTHER MEETING.
The engineers had another meeting
last night, and as usual the hall was
iammed. There was little or nothing to
discuss, as they claim that the situation
is just this: The st. Paul & Duluth,
despite its announcement, has not
handled any 20" or c. B. ~ n. busi-
ness. The Northern Pacific has not
handled any of the business, nor has
begin to handle the 80" business, then
will the engineers be heard from and
not before. They are all smiling and
happy, and The tide is certainly in their
favor just now. There will be another
meeting to.night at 80

EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 9.-Louis
Richter shot and killed his cousin, Miss
Louisa Smith, aged seventeen. and then
sent bullet through his own brain yes
terday afternoon. Richter was the son
of Jacob Richter, former county
clerk. one of the wealthieSt and best
known citizens in the county. Miss
Smith lived some distance from here.
Yesterday message was received by
her from him, saying: ''COme home at
once: Louisa has been killed by Louis
Richter" The horrOr-Stricken father
called his companions and the party
was soon galloping for the scene of the
tragedy. Arriving at the house, ter
rible scene presented itself. In the sit
ting room near the stove lay the body
of the unfortunate girl and her cousin
in a pool of blood. Louisa was still
alive but soon died. Near her, his feet
almost touching those of the victim, lay
the youthful murderer, his hand still
clutching his revolver. Brains were
oozing from wound just back of the
ear. He was dead. The only eye wit
ness was the little sister of the muI-
dered girl. aged four years, who was
sitting in the room. Richter had been
in love with the young lady and paying
her attentions for some time, but she
did rot seem to reciprocate his Offec-
tons and it is thought this unbalanced
his mind.

THE SUGAR TRUST.
Has the Price of Sugar Been In.
creased by the Trust?

CfcdSGu ny the Trust!
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The investi-
CATION into the sugar trust was re-
sumed by the house committee on
manufactures this morning, Mr.. Par
sons, the attorney for the trust, again
being placed on the stand. Chairman
Bacon examined the witness in regard
to whether any changes had been made
in the agreement since it was entered
into, to which answer was made that the
deed had not been changed, but that it
had since been required that instead of
new refineries being admitted by
the action of the board, the
consent of majority of the
certificate holders should be obtained.
Representative Hopkins asked whe ther
the price of sugar had been increased
by the creation of the so-called trust,
and witness answered.: ''In my opinion
the price of sugar has not been in
creased as the result of this arrange
ment.' To Representative Brecken-
ridge the witness said that no sugar re-
finerieS had been purchased by the
board, but that members of the aSSOcia-
ton had since the formation of the
trust purchased the entire stock OF re-
finerieS in which they had not previ-
yiously been Interested. Repre-
sentative Breckenridge asked why
they had not taken the stock
holders into the trust instead of buying
the stock. Witness replied that the
number of trustees was limited by the
agreement to eleven, that all persons
holding stock were satisfied to have the
gentlemen constituting the board repre-
sent them, and that large number of
persons having control would make the
board unmanageable. Mr.. Parsons
stated that the stock of refineries pur-
chased by members of the board since
the formation of the trust has been ac-
quired by the transfer from a large
number of stockholders. but it had all
been purchased at one transaction. y

OF was to be conference of the West
ern railway presidents and general
managers for the purpose of bringing
influence to bear upon the Burlington
that would end the strike by arbitra-
ton. 1t is authOritatively denied this
evening that any such meeting took
place or is contemplated. The only COM
mon action taken by the managers hav-
ing bearing on tine strike was their vote
at meeting to-day ending the freight
war in opposition to the wishes of the
Burlington. The fact that the
Burlington i4too crippled by the strike
to prove serious competitor to the
other roads, even with cut rates in its
favor, was apparently taken for granted
by the managers. Their action is prac
tically defiance of the Burlington to
hurt them if they can. The only
known attempt made by outside rail-
way officials to intervene directly for
arbitration was made by the president
of one of the Western systems. He
personally called on President Perkins
in the role of peacemaker, but met
with no encouragement whatever. He
was informed that the Burlington was
conducting its affairs in its own way,
was not seeking advice, had no con-
