CHICAGO, H., March 5.-Reierring to
the possibility OF general strike being or
dered on western railroads by engineers
and firemen, local paper says: at is
probable that the,Chicago 4 Northwestern,
the Chicago Rock Island 4 Pacific, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, the Chi
cago K Alton, the Wisconsin Central, the
Illinois Central, the Wabash, the Chicago,
st. Paul & Kansas City, and all of the
branches and leased lines Of the above
named roads would be involved. Roughly
estimated this will emonce about $4,000
miles Of road and will completely close the
channels of communication between Chi
cago and the west. II will lay an embargo
on the northwest, cut off communication
to Council Bluffs, Omaha and upper Mis-
souri, river points, except by circuitous
routes, and to partial degree the same
thing TO the southwest. II will
destroy the express business, par
alyze trade, suspend the operation
OF all mining and manufacturing indus
tries, and transform busy hives Of industry
into centeB OF idleness and stagnation,
and this in a territory over 1000 miles
square. When IL IL remembered that
these roads penetrate 10 the Canadian
boundary on the north, 10 the Rockymoun-
tains on the west and 10 the Indian Ter
ritory on the south, the scope OF their
operations and the magnitude OF the inter
ests they serve can be better comprc-
hended. More than this, II would cut of
the great northern and middle transconti-
mental routes, reducing them 10 local roads
at once, the consequence being that the
great interior basin from Utah 10 Oregon
would suffer equally with the Mississippi
and Missouri river valleys. II is not only
trade and commerce which would suffer
Labor, both skilled and common, would
be affected, and most disastrously.
The general managers Of the railroads
nsmed freely state that in case OF
a strike upon their lines there is but one
course for them TO pusuc-shut down the
shops and the freight houses, discharge
the workers and await the end. Cessation
from operations would mean the immcdi-
ate discharge Of four-dfths OF the number.

The defense objected to the witness stat

after receiving the gun-shot wounds. The
objection was overulcd, and the witness
answered that it depended on various cir
cumstanccs. Witness knows that the

plieation OF the gun-shot wounds and the
confused wounds had atcndcncy to shorten
the duration OF life. Thinks the gun-shot
wounds alone would not have affected con-
seriousness or the organs OF speech. The
gun-shot wounds and the confused wounds
together would render person uncon-
