STRIKE SITUATION.
THE ACTION OF THE WABASH ENGINEERS
NRBGARD TO ''O"PRBIGHT.
The Men Do Not Take Kindly to Chief ArthuFS
SuggssiOn-Grisvancs Committees in Ses-
sion-Ssrious Trouble on the Nil
wsukse and St. Paul.

CHICAGO, March 13.-No matter what
the decision Of Judge Gresham may be IN
the Wabash matter, which was intended
for test case, there is likely to be trouble
on Gen. McMilta's road. Chief Arthur
advised Chairman Hanley, Of the Wabash
Grievance Committee, 10 take care OF all
freight consigned to the Wabash road
whether it cams from the Burlington az
local or through freight, taking the ground
that the road being in the hands OF the
United States Court was in apeculiar posi-
tion and ought not to be interfered with.
The men didn't seem to take to this very
cheerfully, and Chairman Hanley said that
while they didn't want to inJure the road
that employed them, they also didn't pro
pose TO assist any road that was fighting
the Brotherhood.
Judge Gresham has announced that be
will render his decision in the Wabash
case tomorrow morning There was nc
change in the situation at strike head
quarters this morning. The Grievance
Committees of the Eastern roads which
were in session yesterday discussing the
freight question, met again this morning
at McCoy's hotel TO conclude their de-
liberations on the Western roads. 1t is
stated by the strikers that the situation
as regards the handling of 20" freight was
unchanged. ! was denied that the
Wabash engineers had agreed to handle
Burlington cars. A Fort Wayne engineer
on speaking of the handling of "Q''
freight by himselfsnd other Fort Wayne
men, said:
"We have been hauling it since last Fri
day, but it is not permanent by any means
We concluded to do so pending the action
of the grievance committees which are IN
session to-day. Oar future conduct de
pends on the report OF the committees. II
is asserted that the. next move of the Bur,
lington will be to bring the Rock Island
into court for refusing to carry out its con-
tract to forward Burlington freight across
the Rock Island bridgeat Davenport, which
involves the same point as that raised IN
the Wabash case OF the Rock Island de
clining on account of the refusal OF its en-
gineers 10 handle Burlington cars.

HORRIBLE DETAILS
OF the Cruelty Practised en- the COnvicts
at Coal Hill.

OF the Cruelty PractiSed en- the COnyicts
at Coal Hill.
ST. LOUIS, March 13-Last Tuesday
and Wednesday the Coroner's jury began
an investigation at Coal Hill, AK, Of the
cause of the death of convict one Chas.
williams. Warden Gafford hindered the
investigation in every way in his power,
but the facts of such horrible brutality
were revealed that he was compelled to
seek safety in fight, as it appears that
punishment was the cause of Williams
death. The shoulders of the convict had
been completely stripped Of the skin cut
by the deadly lash. The skull near the
right temple was fractured, the result, Is
supposed, Of a kick. The right side OF the
body contained a series of bruise., being
the imprints of boots. In the back,
in the vicinity of the kidneys, there was
bruise about six inches square, an evidence
of further application OF the boot. The
testimony given by witnesses and the ex-
animation Of the body showed that the man
had received about 400 lashes, any ten OF
which would have been considered severe
punishment
This was not all the testimony obtained
by the coroner's jury concerning the cruel
ties practiced in the Coal Hill camp. Wit
nesses testified that abouta v eek sgo CAT
ford permitted two negro conVicts, Nose
Harney and Marsh Bailey, to engage in
desperate fight. Ths result is too shocking
to admit of any extended description. The
lower part Of Harney's spinal column was
broken by terrible kick that Bailey gave
him, and by the same means he crushed
Into jelly the genital organs
of his antagonist, who lay
upon the ground writhing 10 pain. de
was kicked in the head aud in the stom-
ach, one-fourth of which punishment was
sufficient to cause his death. Harvey was
not killed outright, but died last Friday
after a week of fearful suffering. Among
other charges preferred against the man
ayers oil the camp is that the colored con-
victs are often compelled to work through
the winter without Shoes. Coal Hill isin
prohibition community, but trusty was
indicted by the grand jury for selling
livuo-, and was acquitted because he was
a convict. The coroner arrived in Little
Rock to. day. and informed Gov. Hughes
of the result of the Investigation at Coal
Hill, and at his request his excellency
offered a reward of 5000 for the arrest and
delivery of Gafford to the Sheriff of john
son county. 1t was nearly 10 O'Clock when
the meeting adjourned.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-NO member

dali tariff bill, but most OF them knew its
chief .ures, and would speak of item

Ofcourse, all OF the tariff reform element
will oppose the bill. It's provisions are
satisfactory to Republicans and protection
Democrats, in so far as they bear upon the
tariff on imports, but there is wide differ

Republicans will split, and so will the Ran

rally agreed dooms the bill to failure, and
the measure, as a whole, therefore, arouses
little of the interest it might otherwise

COUNCILMAN CRUISES resolution of en-
uuiry addressed to the Police Board, the
sole purpose of which was to learn about
the extra police officers appointed by
Chief SMITH, and 50 badly needed for the
city, was very pertinent and proper. But
1t was noticed last night that every Repub-
Eeaa Councilman voted against it. Is not
this surprisingly strange? It is
about two months since Officer
GLENN was assassinated, owing in all
probability to a lack of pstrOlmen. Since
then the public has demanded the weak
place in the police force be strengthened.
An ordinance passed Council some time
ago carrying out the wish OF the citizens,
and finally, Chief SMITH made his appoint
ments several weeks ago, and submitted
them to the Police and Fire Board. But
there they lie-pOsSihly pigeOnhOled in
