SARGENT'S VIEWS.
The Master Firemen Speaks About The
Existing Difficulties.

Existing D1htcult1eS.
TERRE. HAuTE, Ind, August 22.-F. P.
Sargent, grand master of the brother
hood OF locomotive firemen arrived here
this evening from New York. In an
interview with an Associated Press rep
resentative, Sargent said the first thing
when the council gets together tomor-
row, would be the hearing of his own re-
port of what he learned on his visit to
New York, in interviews with the exc
cutiye board of Knights of Labor, COM
posed of Powderly, Hayes, Wright, How
ard and Devlin. Then in the course Of
. the interview sargent struck out
from the shoulder. He desired,
however, to be quoted not as in
the position of president OF the council,
but as a member of the Federation of
Railway Employees. He said he was
individually entirely in accord with
Powderly. Powderly and his rep
resentative had gone to Webb and asked
the reason for the discharge of three men
from the New York Central road. Webb
had fatty refused to have anything to do
with Powderly, and the latter had
called in the federation.
Continuing, Sargent said GAS mem
ber of the Federation, I do not think
Powderly was treated right. When in
New York, | was sent for by Webb. |
should not have called on him other
wise. l asked him why he did not treat
with Powderly. He said he did not want
any third party to interfere. 1 then
said: Suppose you had discharged GER
tain firemen and came to you as grand
master fireman to ask your reason for
their discharge, would you refuse to talk
to me?' To this he made an evasive
reply, and left.''
Sargent went on to say there was no
disposition on the part Of the employees
to force matters. All they wanted was
chance to present their grievances to
the officials of the Vanderbilt system,
and have just arbitration of the exist
ing difficulties. AS to the final result of
the sessionofthe supreme council, Sargent
declared the public need have no appre-
tensions. Sargent hoped no extended
strike would ensue, but his words were
that he was ready to stand as the cham
pion oforganized labor, and he wanted
the whole country to know it.

Mistaken Identity.

SAN Francisco, August %. : The
Chronicle this morning says, as the re-
suit of its investigations, General Miles
has released Albert II. Mum from the
Alcatraz military prison, where he was
confined until yesterday, charged with
being Frank Williams, a deserter from
the United States army. Mum was
arrested in this city July 9th, and
after trial by a court-martial, August
I'd, was ordered to Acatraz. the
contention is that the matter was a
case of mistaken identity.

THE DANGER LINE PASSED.
The Money Market Somewhat Easier In
Wall Street.

New York, August 22.-There was an
enormous crowd of brokers in the
stock exchange at the opening, arrang-
ing for renewal of loans. Renewals were
nearly all made at per cent per annum,
with premium of one-fourth per cent.
added, but as loans were made today to
carry brokers over until Monday. the
premium does not make the rate nearly
as high as yesterday. Toward noon
three-eighths per cent. premium and
interest was paid, but the urgent
demand was easily supplied.
In the afternoon money was COM
paratiyely easy and a hopeful feeling
prevailed. London houses were liberal
buyers of stock. 1t was reported that
secretary Window was in the city, and
would confer with the bankers, but up
to p. NJ. no conference was held. The
general belief however is that the last
circular of the treasury assured easy
money after September 1st, and that
the danger line is passed.

Another General Strike Imminent
The Bosses Refuse to Arbitrate.
CHICAGO, August 23.-At the execu-
tive committee meeting of the master
builders tonight, they refused
to arbitrate the existing
differences with the journey
men carpenters, as asked for by the
latter in an address to the builders
Thursday. AS the new bosses associa-
ton has also refused to arbitrate there
is apparently no recourse for the Car
penters union except to surrender or
renew a general strike. Should the
5000 members of the union quit it is
figured that within two weeks 81 900
other workmen in the building trades of
Chicago would be thrown out of work

BUFF ALo, August 22.-Men to take the
strikers places are constantly arriving.
A number of firemen reached here this
morning, but on learning that that they
were expected to take the switchmen' s
places, refused to work and were dis
missed without pay or transportation
home. Some of the men swear there
are $50 of them in town,
brought here by the railroad company
and left here without the means of sub
sistence, or means of transportation to
their homes in the west.

a bill Is before the Louisiana leRisla-
ture' TO require railways to furnish sepa-
rate cars for white and colored persons.
Another bill fixes the maximum passen-
ger tariff at three cents a mile.
If Fort Worth would cut canal from
Red river across to the head waters of
the West Fork and thereby cause the
waters of old Red to run down by Fort
Worth. this city could then be able to
get low rates from the railroads on the
ground that it would be on a navigable
stream. This scheme would be about as
plausible as some others now on foot.
The Railway Gazette of New York puts
forward the growing necessity for the
employment of a pilot on passenger loco
motives. The,demand of the Gazette is
based upon tw9;or three accidents which
have recently oscurred'on Eastern roads

these cases that the engineers had tainted
from the terror of the danger or had
fallen dead from heart disease at the

RAILWAY MATTERS.

The Peoos River and Texas road
which is to be built from point on the
Texas and Pacific, near Pecos City, to
Eddy, New Mexico, will be graded In
five months 1t is said that Tiers is no
place on the entire line where there Ill
be as much as an eighteen inch grade,
and it is believed the work can be done
ct cost of less than $500 per mile.
Work will commence on the line at once.
railroad bill, which has been signed
by the governor of New York, amends
the laws of 1880 by providing that every
corporation owning, leasing or operating
a railroad or railroad cars wholly or
partly within the state of New York,
shall make an annual report to the board
of railroad commissioners of the opera
ton of the road for the year ending with
the 90th day of June of each year, and
Of its condition on that date. The re-
port must be verified by the oath of the
president or treasurer and the general
manager or acting superintendent, and
be filed in the office of the board of rail =
road commissioners by the 1st day of
September of each year.

Tracklaying in 1890.

The total mileage of track laid on new
railroads in the United States up to May
l of this year Is reported by the Railway
Age at 1884 miles. The early part of the
year was unusually favorable for track
laying, owing to the absence of severe
cold and snow over a great part of the
country, and this may possibly have had
some effect 1poh the extent of the new
mileage. Ibis nevertheless true that the
first part of the year Is that in which the
least trackiaying is done, and an addi-
ton of HOO miles during one-third of the
year may be taken to indicate that the
railroad building of 1890 will be at least
equal to that of last year, when 5000
miles we're built, and may possibly ex-
coed it.
AS was the case last year, large pro-
portion of the new track was in the
Southern states, Georgia leading with
ITO miles and North Carolina coming
next with 1876 miles; no other state re-
ports over 100 miles. In New England
and the middle states the mileage was
small and no large increase is reported
in the West or Northwest, while on the
Pacific Coast railroad building seems to
have come TO stand-Still for the present.
