unsatisfactory credentials he was removed.
Herman Silver, late Treasurer of thu Santa Fe,
succeeded him. Silver went to San Francisco
last week to raise money to pay the men and
see the Carter brothers, the principal creditors.
He failed in this, and returned Friday. The
men say they have been considerate long
enoue h and propose to strike, and will prevent
any one else working in their places.
Silver has asked the Court fer permission to
issue receivers checks for the amount OF the
mems salaries. and decision is expected to-
morrow. A refusal is expected. Silver declares
he will run the road regardless of the men, but
will exhaust all peaceful means first.
