B. Some, general manager of the Bur-
lington displays temper, and q reckless
ness 10 assertion and denial which rem
ders il emineEtly proper that he De sub
jected to cross examination under Cir
cumstai ces which will compel him to
frame his own answers instead of having
them prepared for him by counsel, in
which ne will have pp1rtuni!y to explain
how he can deny without quslidcst on,
even CT information or belief, the aver
ment that the Burlington communicated
to one or more managers Of railwaye
its purpose to prosecute rate
war until the 0fisers Of the west
ern railways should C. nsent to
abdicste the powers placed in!the1r hands
by their stockholders TO an unlawful trust
when such communicat ons were msde
by other Officers Of the Burlington Com
pany, and not in the presence OF said
HeDIy B. s one. And the Rock Island
says further that it can oy crosse 1smi-
nation Of said Henry B. Stone and by the
testimony OF other Witnesses whom II
proposes to examine, sustain each and
every allegation. The Rock Island has
made and established the falsehood Of
every contrary allegation made in the all
d.vtt OF said Stone.
When the court reconyened arguments
were resumed oy counsel in the case. All
were dry legalargumepts Judge Gresham
said even II the tru allegations made
by the Rock Island were true it did not
relieve that road from its duty
as 9 common carrier. Again
he did rot think the Rock 1slsud
had r. fused to do it's duty. The Bur
liDgton did not nee d protection from this
its strongest competitor and as there wss
no danger injury accruing to The o.
rosd no injunc loa' would be issu5d Just
now. Future deve opments, judge Ores
ham thought, might alter taIs order.

POwDKRLY's INFLUENCE.
CHICAGO, ILL April "A report is in
circulation that Powderly has had hand
in bringing about the present state OF
affairs. His en.ag Hnism to the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers is so well
known it was considered verv strange
when the Burli gton switchmen, who
were Knights Of Labor, quit work in
| order to back up the striking engineers.
The switchmen finally agreed to abide by
the advice of the chief and the knowledge
of this fact, it is said by those qualified
to speak, led the engineers and 1remer
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive FIR mer,
said to-day: "Chicf Arthur had nothin e
to do with the men returning to work
! 1t was the mems own individual ludg-
ment that led them to 60 out aud it was
their individual Judgment which led them
| to go back"
"Was there anything in the attitude Of
Powderly toward the strike that cause
the return to work."
"P0wderly had no more to say in thu
matter than you had. What he though
about the strike and boycott cuts ne
figure at all. The strike is now confoec
to the o. The engineers, hremen ant
switchnen are still out, and will stay GU
till they gain their point II 1t takes year
and they will be supported during ali tbs
time they are out. The boycott is of
now and the other roads are free 10 &C
] ahead and handle all o. freight they
want to. We will see il the % is able L
! transact business with its burned out en-
gines and drunken engineers and fire
men,
The Like Shore delivered large trsir
of freight to the Burlington this morning
st SIX eeuth street.
Tue Rock Island sent q train of cars t
the Buriipg, on this morning for the frs
time stree The strike of the 40" began
This indicates that the boycott mss beer
completely raised by the Brotherhood o.
Locomotive Engineers, and the Rorl
plicstious with their men because Of ex
changing business with the Burlington.
THE Q FLooDED.
| CHICAGO, Ill, April 4-Tbe hug
boycott against the Q road was fully LITE
to-day and the Burliogton yards wer
damned with freight from other roads
the move of the Rock Island in sendini
In freight seeming to have become cpl
demic. Ten minutes after the receip
of the Rock Island train Baltimore an,
Ohio train steamed In, and following thi
train came AZ other lot of cars from tn
Lske Shore. All the roads havip G freigh
Communication with the Q continue,
sending freight to the Q yards steadily
The Rock Island, the st. Paul, the Pan
handle, the Lake Shore, the Northwest
err, the Chicago and Atlantic. the Illi- OF
Central, the Michigan Central snd oshe
lines were rapidly engaged in movin
cars to the Q There seemed to be NJ
end TO the freight that has been held II
check by the boy.o t on the Q irterchang
OF cars. 1t is broadly stated that the striker
calculated that in lifting the boycott al
the roads that had for weeks suspende,
relations with the 40" would at enc
proceed to unload on that company 81
the cars that had accumulated, and this
the effect would be to swamp the peopl
with freight, the case they believed bein
that of all the roads full
equipped against one poorly equipped
It was thought that in the natural order c
things the Burlington would receive NOR
freight daily from the other roads than
could give 10 them, and that 1t would
but 8 short time before it would be OF
structed with freight consigned to 1t b
other lines. Having achieved this th
