ON THE EVE OF A STRIKE.

KANSAS CITY, March 1O.-The members
of the Switchmen's union, sixteen in num-
Der, employed in the yards of the Kansas
City, St. Joe &; Council Bluffs railroad,
and the Hannibal & st. Joseph, both OF
which are a part of the Burlington system,
are on the eve of strike. This morning
they expressed the determination not to
work with the engineers now employed by
the Burlington. Their reasons are that
the danger is so great because of the in
competency of new men that they fear
that they are liable to be crippled or killed
at any moment. The switchmen are hold
ting meetings and have passed resolutions
to the effect that they will uphold the
| Brotherhood of Engineers and Firenen.
The situation at this point is becoming
serious. In about twenUy-four hours mat
| tiers are liable to develop which will have
great effect.
AT meeting of the grievance commit
tee of the Kansas City, TT. Scott s. Gulf
railroad held this evening it was decided
| that if the company persists in handling
| freight consigned to the Burlington road.
! that the engineers and firemen would
! leave their engines on Monday morning.
| The situation at this point is becoming
more interesting every hour. Members
of grievance committees are ar
irving by each train, and the brother
hood men openly say that the crisis will
come on Monday morning. At the head
quarters of :. NJ. Stevens men are report
ing hourly and dispatches and letters come
thick and fast. The substance of the dis
patches is Immediately transmitted to
Chief Arthur at Chicago. The brother
hood men are worked up to n pitch of en-
thusiasm, which, if not controlled by
cooler heads, would lead to a tie up of all
the roads at thiso pint.

was Grand Master c. E. Wilkinson, of the
Brotherhood of Brakemen, who had come
to this city from his home at Peoria, Ill.
He was introduced by S. NJ. Stevens, of the
firemens organization. In his remarks,
Mr.. Wilkinson said that the Brake
mems brotherhood wac a comparatively
young organization, but they had deter
mined to give their mite to the cause of
the engineers and firemen. The interests
of the brakemen were identical Of those Of
the men who have left their engines and
he wanted it understood that individually
and collectively, the brakemen were with
the engineers and firemen. He was sorry
they were not brought directly into the
struggle at the start. The brakemen
knew he said that the engineers now en-
ployed by the. Burlington system were in
competent. They let the water run so low
in the boilers that the brakemen were con-
strained to take refuge in the caboose for
fear of being blown up. They had, IN
many instances, reported this tn
GERS of other roads. Mr.. Wilkinson
believed that some time in the future there
would be one grand organization Of train
men, composed of engineers, firemen,
brakemen, conductors and switchmen, and
then all would get their rights. He closed
Brakemen's brotherhood would stand by
these who are out and refuse to run
engines for the Burlington road if asked
to do SO.
S. NJ Stevens, of the Firemen's brother
hood, assured the meeting that if the
engineers on the other roads centering in
Kansas City determined to strike, the fire
men would follow to man.
II. H Wills, secretary of the general COM
mittee of the Chicago q Northwestern
railroad, followed Mr.. Wilkinson. He
said that he had visited Aurora, Mendoza,
Gaiesburg, Burlington and Creston and
had found all the brotherhood men firm.
In the meeting were representatives from
the Kansas City, Fl. Scott 81 Gulf railroad,
the Kansas City, Wyandotte & Northwest
ern road, the Missouri Pacific, and other
roads. All reported their men ready to
strike If it was necessary for the success of
those now out on the Burlington. The
chairman of the grievance committee of
the Wyandotte road said his COM
mittee was on the ground now and
if the signal came he would order all
his men out through his officials and the
men on his road were working harmoni-
ously. Today, he said, they had refused
to move six cars of freight consigned by
the Burlington to points over their road.
The Burlington had sent three notices to
the general manager of the Wyandotte
road to take the cars, but that Official re-
fused to touch them.
Before the meeting closed the following
resolution was offered by S. NJ. Stevens
and adopted:
Whereas, Mr. f. ST. John, general man
ager of the Chicago. Rock Island s. Pacific
railroad has, in a manly letter to the pub
lie, defined the position of his road in the
matter of handling Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy business, therefore, be it
.aI hat l,,,f 4
as one of the foremost railroad managers
of the country.

lieyipg himself thoroughly; tit for the
journey, has finally decided, to proceed.
He has sent courteous replyito President
Csrnot's telegram, of coincidence. In it he
alludes especially to the marks OF SYM
pathy shown him by numerous
French visitors. at San Reno and
expresses the hope that the relations
between France and Germany may con-
tinue friendly. This response was sent
direct from the emperor without consult
ing with Prince Bismarck. During his
interview with King Rumbert at the rail-
road station at San Pier d. Arena this
morning, the emperor exhibited I'M
usual animation Several times he
tried to speak but failed,
but he kept up conversation by means OF
small slips of paper, upon which he wrote
with pencil. On one of these, which es-
capped destruction, the emperor says he
hopes to show himself equal to the work
before him, and thanks the Italian govern
ment for helping Prince Bismarck in his
present trials. Since parting with him,
King Humbert has wired to Berlin that
the emperor looks surprisingly well.

will act promptly and advise You.
lSignedl WIN. II. SPRINGER.
Mr.. Springer expressed the opinion that
the United States marshal o. the territory
OF Arizona doubtless held writ issued
from Judge Barnes court of the first
judicial district of Arizona. 1t has been
'ho custom OF OoIn Mexican
and American officers OF justice to
cross the frontier when in pursuit of ma
raudlng Indians, but whether this privi-
which is one accorded by treaty. is extend
ed TO officers in pursuit of civilized train
robbers Is not known. If there is no treaty
permitting American officers To cross the
boundary when in pursuit OF criminals.
the American officers have been guilty of
violating the laws of the republic of Mex
leo and of the state of chihuahua. brrt If
they are permitted under treaty stipula-
tons TO pursue such criminals into Mexico
the government OF the United States will
undoubtedly demand reparitiou and apol-
ogy and also immediate release OF the
parties.

Height Of Ocean Waves.

A writer in the Liverpool Mercury
captain Of the mercantile marine
has taken careful observations as to
the height Of ocean waves in q gale.
He made them during voyage round
Cape Horn. and to do it he went up in
the main rigging, to get, if possible,
the top OF the wave coming up astern
IN line OF sight from the mast to the
horizon at the back. 1t was difficult
operation. but the Captain obtained
some good observations, marking the
height Of the waves on the mast. On
measuring the distance from these to
the mean draught, he found them to be
as follows: 81. 81, So and 65 feet, re-
spectively. varying in length from $50
to 500 feet.
