The RAILWAY STRIKE.
Central Officials Growing
More Confident.
DELAWARE 4 HUDSON MEN OUT
The Situation Not Very Different
From Yesterday--The Men
Apparently Weakening.

NEW YORK Aug. i0.-A complete pa
raiysis OF all traffic on the New York
central has been caused by the knights
of Labor men. When they struck their
hrst blow Friday night 1t led them to
believe that they could maintain the
stoppage OF business ON all the roads OF
company. This they have not succeed
ed In doing, and 1t is evident that gen
eral ieeling OF disappointment prevails
among the strikers, although they will
not admit this. They placed strong re-
lance upon the assistance of the Broth
erhood OF Locomotive Engineers, who,
according to the Knights, were to have
taken hand in the fight. Last night
Holland himself told reporter that
there was an understanding to that e:-
feet, but to-day he said he had heard
nothing further about the mat
ter, and could not tell what the BROTH
erhood would do.
A prominent memb Der Of the brother
hood said to-day that the locomotive
engineers were not to be in this strike.
II was not their fight, "but, OF course, I"
he added, should they be ordered out,
they would go" He did not thiuk that
such an order would be given.
The brotherhood, said several
others, remembers the o., B. Il q.
strike, in which their places were taken
by the knights of Labor, and are not
over anxious to help the knights now"
To-day the regular schedule passenger
service on the Hudson River, New York
Central and Harlem roads was resumed,
the only change being the consolidation
OF certain outgoing western trains.
The tie up on the West Shore road,
which was inaugurated last night, did
not affect the passenger traffic. The
freight business was brought to IA stand
still. but passenger trains ran as usual,
and were very little delayed.
Police Captain McIlwain, who was on
duty on duty at the Grand Central depot,
said to-day that he had seldom seen a
more orderly crowd of strikers. There
were no lonngers and no gatherings any
where.
A notice posted in the depot to-day
stated that persons seeking employment
on the New York Central should make
application ut the Office of the Wagner
Palace Car Company. The result was
score. One of the officials said that $50
men had been taken, all being expert
enced railroad men.
