There could not have been a greater con-
trast than that recently afforded to
the membersof the House Committee on
Pacific Railroads, by the manner of Charles
Fracis Adams, President of the Union Paci-
fic railroad systemr as compared with that
OF c. P. Huntington, Vice. President of the
Central Pacific railroad, in discussing the
proposed legislation effective to their
respective roads. Mr.. Huntington pleaded
and almost wept, he made very poor i'm.
preston upon the oo,nr-itt--, while Mr..
Adams was...frank and above board. He
stated plainly and without equivocation
what his company was willing to do, and
the committee felt when he had finished
speaking, that it had nadea decided ad-
vance in their consideration OF their task.
He explained the condition of the company,
which he represents. it's attitude towards
the various funding bills, and upon other
matters connected with Pacific Railroad
legislation. Mr.. Adams promised that the
Union Pacific Comranv could and would
pay it's debts within fifty years, according
to the demands OF the Cultivate bill.
Charles Francis Adams is the second son of
DR.. c. F. Adams, the latter being the grand
son OF John Adams, second President and
son of John Quincy Adams, sixth President
Of the United States, and was born a t

at Harvard College in 1856 and was adj
mitted to the bar in 1853. During the
Civil War he was in command OF colored
troops, and was brevetted gadier-Gen-
eral. He has since been identified with rail-
road development, has served as Railroad
Commissioner OF Massachusetts, and ranks
high as an authority upon all matters per-

the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
need not expect the Knights of Labor to
keep their hands of. Mr.. Grif1ths was
seen at his home this evening and talked
unrestrainedly ofthe pending strike in its
relations to the Knights of Labor. He
said: The Knights are lockers on"
"How out the manner in which the
Knights /" ere treated by the Brotherhood
during the Missouri Pacific strike two
years ago? Did not the Brotherhood
then replace about two hundred Knights
of Labor strikers?"
"Yes, they did most certainly"
"And do you not think that but for this
action on the part of the Brotherhood the
strike inaugurated by the Knights would
have proven q success?"
There is very little doubt on that point.
The same thing has just appeared in the
Reading strike, as every one who reads q
newspaper knows. just a. soon as the
strike was declared on, the Brotherhood
began filling the vacancies. These actions
on the part of the Brotherhood do not
naturally tend to cement them and the
Knights. Tit for tat is game that people
of our day like to indulge in, and don't
see why the Knights should be exceptions.
If the locomotive engineers in our body see
fit to accept positions on the c., B. & @.
railroad. they most certainly are entitled
to do as they please. 1t is a matter resting
entirely in their hands and with which we
as body have nothing to do. The
adoption of retaliatory measures is nothing
and honestly admit that I would not be
if they were brought into use by
the Knights. Thus far, however, no action
that know of has been taken by the
Chicago Knights"
"Dispatches from Reading state that the |
Knights there are being rapidly and readily |
engaged by the Burlingt on people,"
''Is that so? Well, am not surprised in |
The least, and know, since that is the case,
you may look out for a similar order OF
things here"

OF promoting arbitrat tion and improving
our commercial relations from the River
Grande to Cape Horn. The question of
uniting all the nations of the two American
continents by the closest bonds OF CONNER
cial treaties has been frequently brought
before Congress, and it is to be hoped that
at come time in the near future that
strangely obtuse body will give it the atten-
ton it's Importance demands. James B.

son County. Kentucky, July 8, 1898. He

1859, and Immediately commenced the
practice OF law at Richmond, Kentucky. In
1862 be entered the Confederate army and
was Leutenant.C Colonel of the Eleventh
Kentucky Cavalry at the close OF the war.
James B. McCreary was selected as Presi.
Dental E,ector on the Democratic ticket in
1865, but declined. Subsequently he was
elected delegate to the National Demo-
cratic Convention held in New York in July,
1868. In 1869, 1871 and 1878 he was
chosen member Of the State House OF
Representatives of Kentucky and was

in 1873. Then he was nominated as Demo
cratic candidate for Governor in May.
